represented herin the best days Of All. as either
attracting the admiration Of others or as adnr1ng
herself, and they gave her golden coronets and
other alorn1ueots. The face Of the Venus di
Milo. said the modern sculptor. represents IN In
nocent. elad surprise at her own beauty. Hence
aha must bo seeing it. She cannot be looking in
q pool. She must, then, hold before her mir
ror. probably mado OF Furnished steel. The
earrings estiafy the adjective 'tgoldon," and
rive the goddess something beside herself to
admire.
Another theory is that the statue does not
represent Venus at all, but Minerva It is said
that the right foot originally rested on tor
toise, and that the Goddess OF Wisdom was
often thus represented. Some Of those who find
Minerva in the matchleas form say that tho god
dess held sword and shield in her hands. Others
give her moro pacific emblems. The shield the
ory has at least this much OF support: that there
is d rnark On the right knee, which looks-to
believers eyes-as II the shield held by tho
right hand had rested there. The fact,
however, that the figure represents Ve-
nus may be safely taken on trust By
people who hare never studied the statue.
1t is taken on reason by most OF those who have.
There arc dozen Greek statues in existence
which are modelled after tho Venus di Milo. and
which undoubtedly represent tho Goddess OF
Love. The Museum at Naples contains small
and exquisite copy in bronze. found at Pompeii,
in which the arms are outstretched, a. II in beno-
diction.
The Nations letter partly tells the curioue
story Of the way the Venus Was preserved from
harm, during the double siege OF Paris. One OF
the cellar-wa1ls Of the Louvre WAS hollowed out.
The statue WAS taken from its pedestal,
enveloped in plaster, and put in this hiding
place. Bricks we're laid before it. 4 number o1
valuable books were put in front 0. the brick
| work, and the original surface Of the wall waf
restored. II anybody had discovered that some
| thing was hidden there, search would have atop
ped with the books. So the Venus was doublJ
| safe. Statue and books both escaped The
goddess has been safely resurrected, to be wor

raafizming and vindicating this indefeasible

Cotton Mather-one OF the fathers Of Congre-

he SO painfully composed, not one. IN all
probabii ity. except possibly the 'Lfe Of Nelson,'
OF which his publisher dictated the subject and
size, will be read fifty years hence. The truth is.
Southev mad and wrote so systematically and go
mechauiceQly-so much like machine-that his
life was N onotonous and humdrum it had no
adventures, changes, events, or experiences: and
hence his works show q painful want
Of intellectual bone and muscle, and
rarely touch the hearts or thrill the sympathies
Of his hearers. Gorgeous passages may be
found in the1a,-proofs Of vigorous fancy and
Imagination but his persons and their adven-
lures arc so Buperuatural-so dreamy, phantom-
like, and out OF the circle OF human sympathies,
both in their t1iump7ls and sufTerings-that his
gorgeous and ambitious poems produce on us
the impression Of splendid but unsubstantial
nightmare.
Now look at Coleridge. He passed his wholo
life out at elbows, physically and morally he
1oitered and dawd1ed he wasted whole weeks
md months he hud no sense Of the value Of
minutes he prosecuted Thousand literary
schemes which were never finished ; and, when

often on the margins Of books. and reminding

harmonized poems. that VIC must look Tor tho
proof OF Coleridgo's mighty but imperfect
ly-rccorded powers. Yet who that Is familiar
with these, and with the writings OF southoy.
can doubt that Coleridge WAS by far the greater
man Of tue two and who can help suspectlus
that there VAS, il not direct connecnon' ut

his slovenlinces? He had, as another has 6nld,

More Cotton in Pima County.

Two weeks ago we noticed the cotton crop grown in the valley in front of Tue son, by MT. Ochoa. During the week Mir. Richard of Sanford, handed us sample of the article grown in the Gila valley near his place, by Mrs. Woffenden. This cotton seems 10 be of finer quality than that grown by MT. Ochoa, and gentlemen familiar with the article as produced in the southern States, assure us that it is ex- cellent. Mrs. Woffenden is so much pleas ed with her success this year, that she in- tends to plant large area the ecoming sea- son.
 Now that 1t seems demonstrated both the Gila and Santa Cruz valleys are adapt ed to cotton growing, it becomes our farm CTS to apply the figures and ascertain if it be profitable crop to cultivate here. By reference to the market reports of the ar ;icle in the leading eastern and southern cities on September Y, and several days prior thereto, we find the price per pound ranging from 132s to 1873 cents. It is not likely that lower prices will soon prevail. Then should cotton be raised extensively oa this side the continent, local manufac- tories will soon be put in operation and thereby our producers have nearer mar kets. This cotton proposition is one well worthy a careful examination by our peo- pie of all callings. If it's growth can be made profitable to the farmer, it will also benefit all other members of community.
