and some even thought it would not ex-
coed $500, 900 bales, but the crop in
point of fact reached 100000 bales"
The staple of the cotton was, lie thought
unusually good this season In his sec
ton of the country, as was also the
ginning, in consequence of the continued
dry weather.
Several other gentlemen largely in
terested in the cotton trade confirmed
the statements already made. and one
of them remarked that as an indication of
the prospect of a large crop marketed
easily might be mentioned the fact that
Montgomery, Ala, received Monday
400 bales, while last year the receipts
at that point for the entire correspond
ing week were but Al bales, and the
year preceding that, 2, 100 bales. Gal
| weston, Texas, last week received 2, 300
bales as against 500 bales for the CORES
ponding week of last year.
In the course of conversation with a
| number of southern planters now In
! the city, the writer obtained views OPP
| posed IN general tenor to those expressed
| by the gentlemen above quoted. Col.
| Edward Richardson, Of Mississippi, and
] OF the firm of Richardson & May, of New
| Orleans, one of the largest cotton plan
| tiers and dealers In the south, expressed
it as his opinion that the coming crop
would inevitably disappoint those who
| fixed their estimate so high. He thought
| $500, 600 of bales a fair estimate, and
| argued that the dealers at the north had
no practical idea of the demoralized
and disorganized condition of labor in
the south. He was sure the reduction
of acreage had been under estimated,
and judging from his own prospe cts he
could not believe that there would be
any profit TO the planter from this sea-
sons crop, as it had cost more to raise
it than it was worth. The colonel said
that while he had no trouble with the
freedmen, of whom he employed about
one thousand on his various plantations,
he found it impossible to obtain the
productive labor from them which the
old system afforded. Very many of
them occupied much of their time rot
tering withpolitics, and others felt tooin
dependent to work conscientiousIy. This
was a serious difficulty in the way of the
planter, and would, during the picking
season, operate to decrease the crop.
Other southern gentlemen engaged ex-
clusively in planting expressed similar
views, and in general thought it doubt
ful if the crop would equal the expecta-
tions of the senguine.

The Danger of Wet Coal.

People who prefer wetting the win
ter's store of coal to lay the dust on
putting it in their cellars, do not, we
believe, generally know that they are
laying up for themselves a store of sore
thrOats and other evils consequent upon
the practice. But so it is said to be.
Even the fire-damp, which escapes from
coal miues, Grises from the slow decom-
position of coal at temperatures but
little above that of the atmosphere, but
under augmented pressure. BY wetting
a mass of freshly broken coal and hav-
ing 1t put In a warm cellar, the mass is
heated to such q degree that carbureted
and sulphureted hydrogen are given off
for long periods of time and pervade
the whole house. The liability of wet
coal to mischievous results under such
circumstances man be appreciated from
the circumstance that there are several
instances on record of spontaneous com
bustiOn of wet coal when slowed into
the bunkers OF holds of vessels. And
from this cause, doubtless, many miss
ing coal vessels have persisted. -LoRdon

Remedy for Hay Fever.

Many are suffering from the peculiar
ly annoying affection known as "hay
fever" and it may interest them to know
that DR.. Horace Dobell, senior ply
stefan to the royal hospital for diseases
of the chest, London, has suggested q
continuance and prescription, by the
combined use of which immense COM
fort may be given TO such unfortunates.
The prescription is as follows: ChlOral
hydrate and camphor (of each) 16 grains,
carbonic acid 20 grains, pure morphia
II grains, oleic acid enough to dissolve
the morphia) 20 grains, castor oil (the
clearest and hnest) dFachms. Rub
well together to make lotion.
The contrivance is for the efficient
application of the above remedy, and
consists of miniature bottle contained
in little lockwood case so that it can
be carried easily in the pocket. To the
lid of the box is attached the cork of
the bottle, and to the cork, in the same
fashion as the spoon of a Cayenne cruet,
is fixed little club shaped rod of ivory,
long enough to reach to the bottom OF
the bottle, and also to the upper ex-
tremity of the nostril. The bottle is
kept half full of the lotion above pre-
scribed. in the little rod immersed in
1t. Directly the patient feels the tickle
or oUher signal of coming sneeze, he IN
corks his bottle, withdraws the ivory
club, wet with the oleaginous lotion,
and pushes it up the nostril till it
reaches the seat of the sneeze signal !;
there it should be gently pressed so as
to apply the lotion to the part. After
this the club is withdrawn and returned
to its little bottle of fluid, where it be-
L IL
plication. As often as the snecze threat
ems, the operation should be repeated.
Very often one application will keep off
a threatened fit of sneezing altogether,
even thought its first effect may be to
excite a sneeZe.

Plan for Poultry House.

Our poultry house is large enough to
accommodate fifty fowls. It is thirty
feet long by twelve wide, eight feet
high on the north side and six on the
south, which is all glass, the sashes in
GLIDING one foot in the six, the better
to admit the rays of the sun. The
south roof is longer than the north. The
rid0e-pole is ten feet from the floor.
The walk is on the north side, is three
feet wide, and elevated two feet, thus
giving that much floor room. It is di-
vided into five departments, each six
feet by twelve, with doors from the
walk leading into each. In each there
are three nest-boxes, next TO the walk,
from which the eggs are gathered by
dropping a door, thus obviating the ne
cessity of going in to peep into the
nest.
There are doors ono foot high and
eight inches wide on the north and
south side of each department., thus
irving access to warm, sunny runs,
twenty-four feet long on the south side
in winter, and cool, shady ones on the
north in summer. The doors are tightly
closed at night. giving rats and other
enemies slim chances for mischief. The
floors are now kept covered with road
sand obtained in summer) two or three
inches in depth. The roosts are two
feet and a half from the floor, are
pieces of ioist three inches wide,
bounded at the top, with a groove one
ouarser of an inch deep cut in the CEN
ter. which is filed with kerosene once a
fortnight. Under each is a board, two
feet wide. and two feet from the floor, to
catch the droppings, which are removed
often, and the board sprinkled with
white lime, air-slacked.
The house is pleasant, convenient and
warm, sweet and roomy. The fowls are
free from lice and perfectly healthy.

Condition Of the Crons.

The September returns of the depart
ment of agriculture indicate an average
condition of the wheat crop of ninety
three against ninety-fve in September,
1873. The acreage of this crop is seven
per cent. greater than last year, which
would bring the aggregate yield to
nearly an average on last years acreage.
All the New England and middle states
are above the average except Delaware,
which is full the average. All the At
lantic and Gulf states are below the
average, except Alabama, which is 1OI.
The inland southern states ara all be-
low the average, Arkansas presenting
the maximum of the whole country.
which is 100. North of the Ohio river,
most of the counties were not visited
by the chinch bugs. OF the present
superior crops, Ohio, Michigan and In
diana are above the average, and Hi
nois 2 per cent. below by the drought and
chlnches. West Of the Mississippi the
drought, intense heat, hot winds,
chlnches and grasshOppers' have reduced
ali OF the states below the average, ex-
cept Missouri. The Pacific States are
above the average.
No MORE HERoICs.-The deadly vege-
table alkaloids such as mercury. strveb-
nine, and prussic acid cannot cue dis
ease or produce any but the most disas-
trous results. Perhaps no event has
occurred of late years which is SO well
calculated to disabuse the public mind
of belief in the efficacy of mineral
poisons and bleeding as the discovery
of Doctor Walker, of California, of Ger
tain medicinal herbs, whose healing
principles he has extracted and com
bined in the form of Vinegar Bitters.
The cures wrought by it seem marvel
GUS. Its action is mild and agreeable,
but at the same time rapid and effectual,

Of alcohol or fermented liquor of anv
