JACKSON COTTON uAKKEr.
= T. M'CuTcImS, EDITOR.

Down, down, down has been the unyyeI
come tidinss heraIded from al the cotton
oenters Of the world since our last report
One week ago we reported the New N-orb
market At i62S@lGJ5c., ami New Orleans at
1915. The decline continued until Wed,
nesday, at which time New York and New
Orleans both quoted Middling cotton at
15549l5ISe. On Tuesday, Liverpool drop.
ped from her 75Sd. to 75id. filt. New York
let loose another &c, quoting with New
Orleans At lj54c. for Middlins cotton. Our
own market has been unusually active:
our buyers taking all offerings at the de-
cline. Many of our planters, however.
seemed unwilling to sell, and are hoIdin.
for higher prices. Our stock in store is
about > 800 bales.
The present decline is caused by the con
tinued flow Of cotton to the markets, Ieav-
ing the belief IN a short crop with but few
advocates. The total receipts 1t all United
States ports for the week ending January
ed, reached 15S,jTl bales, against I54 PSI
bales last week, making the totzl receipts
since LIST Of September, 1873, 1855, 0OG bales
against 2.i3S, sos bales for the same period
OF 1872; showing an increase over last year
of 296, l9S b les. These figures are elo-
quent; We need make no remarks upon
them, they tell their own story and are re-
Elected in the prices of cotton.

Don't Die Young.

One of the most curious discoveries
made during recent investigation of
the almshouses of this state is that the
paupers have an obstinate way OF not
dying. The average length of life after
admission to their comfortable estab-
ments is said to be twenty years, though
the inmates are, upon entering, most OF
them, we'll advanced. Such is the ad-
vantage of being free from botheratlon,
worry, fret, trouble, anxiety, disap-
pointment, and the like things, the
names of which may be found in DIR.
Rogers Thesaurus. IT was long ago
settled by agreement of the morallsts
and the psychologists that fuss kills
moro than fever, and sends greater
numbers to an untimely sepulcher.

the trouble of saying anything: 81

Emigration Statistics.

In one week in July last 1900 steer
age passengers sailed for Europe from
New York. Last Saturday week 500
sailed in a sigle ship. During the
year ending June 80, 1873, the outgoing
passengers by sea from the United
States were 10, l5t. During the five
years previous the average annual num-
ber was $1,000. OF these departing
50, 7O6 were cabin passengers and Gj,-
44S we're "other than cabin" The ex-
cess in the year named is not due to
the Vienna exhibition, for during the
three months of the spring and sum-
mer, when travel was at its height, the
steamships carried only about 500 more
passengers abroad than in the cores
ponding period of 1872. For the year
ending with juno, 1873, 7,744 citizens
of the United States came home, and
l3, ,3SS "aliens not intending to remain"
arrived. The whole immigration for
the year was 473, ,14l, exclusive of our
returning citizens. The remarkable
increase in the number Of people going
abroad indicates the return Of immi-
grants for good. Some have made
their fortunes some have been dis
appointed ;,even labor has failed. This
last cause has operated for the past year
more than heretofore, as the returns OF
next season will show.

The Total Eclipse in Africa.

A copy of the "Cape Argus" gives
the following account of the ideas of
the natives regarding the recent eclipse:
In Natal the Zulus stopped work when
the eclipse began. and resumed when it
was over, demanding two days wages,
the eclipse, in their opinion, having
been short night. At the diamond
fields the natives rushed out OF their
