The New York Evening Post devotes
column to describing the fight be-
/ tYeen the bulls and bears of the cotton
exchange of that city. One party, ac-
cCrding to the Post, is Systematically
endeavoring to lower, and the other to
raise the price of cotton. The Post
says the bears have succeeded i'll bring
iug the price of middling cotton down
from 100 in May TO the present price
oflGlc. They assert that the supply is
in excess of the demand; that manu-
faCturers are crippled, cotton goods low
and likely To tall further, and conse-
Quently cotton has been too high.
The bulls say that "the coming crop
will be short of that of the last two
wears; the amount of land planted
with cotton. as officially reported, is
less than last year by ten per centum !;
the use of fertilizers has been very
small, and the operations OF boil
worms, army worms, foods and early
frosts will reduce the yield the less
number of acres planted this year VIII
reduce the amount of the crop by half
million of bales that the entire
stock of cotton now on hand through
ont the world is only a very little in
excess of the total amount held last
year at this time, when middling cot
ton was selling at twcuty-one cents a
pound in New York; that it is not
Americana cotton which now makes
up the bulk of the stock held in Liver
ponI, but Indian cotton; and whenever
American cotton can be bought at nine
pence or under in Liverpool, the large
English consumers of raw cotton take
the American product and absolutely
neglect the article raised in India
The Post winds up by saying that
the cotton crop is likely to bring as
much money the coming as the past
wear, aud asks planters not to be
frightened.

Under the caption of "the Blue and
the Gray" the New York World of the
18th startles the loyal mind, north and
south, with the subjoined remarks:
1t was very unnatural, perhaps, but
not so very remarkable after all, that
such resolution as Mr.. Sumner of
ferred i'm regard to the battle-fiags
should emanate from him. He was
always prone to the startling in matter
and the staccatO in manner. IL made
level heads a little giddy TO learn that
the best eulogy pronounced In congress
over Summers dead body WIS by fire
eater fr m Mississippi, and that that
generous orators name was Lamar.
But when we come to learn that Sum-
ners friend, Motley, the patriotic Mot
lev, the ''enthused" unionist Motley,
has written in two volumes a history,
called "John of Basneveld," which is
neither more norless than an elaborate
defense of Jefferson Davis from the
charge of treason, and severe ar
raignment of those who imprisoned
him and refused him trial, and when
we further know that "John of Barne-
veld', is published here in New York
by Harper & Brothers, sense Of polit-
ical vertigo is almost irresistible. II

One of the most eminent statesmen or
the Dutch republic, and distinguished
for his nohle services daring Ihe Crisis

he was still more energetic IN iii~ asser-

When Maurice of Nassau, stakeholder
for the Netherlands, seemed tothreaten
the integrity 9f these principles, Barne-

the state of Holland rather than of the
United Netherland states, and flung
himself into active opposition to Maui
rice. For this he was charged with
treason, arrested, tried, condemnedand
executed.
This is the man whose case Mr.. Mot

both upon the ground of cruel injustice
done to man eminent for past public

1t is probable that many good house,
wives do not know that butter may be
kept firm and nice-looking by merely
inverting over it tlower-pot covered
with damp cloths. In the same way a
water pitcher enveloped in wet cloths
will keep its contents cool and CRATE
full to the parched. throat this hot
weather.
On Ii large scale the same plan may
be used in the fields, as we have before
said, but it will bear saying again. The
contents of q barrel enveloped in cloths
which are kept constantly wet, will be
go pleasant as almost to induce the Ia
borcr in the field to drink more than is
good for him.
The reason why water kept this way
is cool is, that the evaporation Of the
outside dampness carries off the heat
from the inside-just as prespiration
carries off the heat from the human
frame, and renders live man capable
of withstandinga heat which will cook

VIVA, Other. Think of Us.

Our trip to Fort Worth as delegate
to the convention, which assembled
there ON the 18th Of last month, was
attended with much pleasure notwith-
standing the heat andd We started
cne day ahead of the delegation from
this county, in order TO spend day in
Dallas.
We had heard much of the rapid
growth of Dallas, but were not pre-
pared for the many evidences of sub
stantial prosperity there to be seen.
Two years ago Dallas was quite a small
place, though busy and bastling with
railroad excitement. A wonderful
change has been wrought in two years,
aud from q small railroad town Dallas
has grown to be well built aud thriv-
ing business center.
The completion OF the Texas and Pa
cific road to that point, gave its busi-
ness men competing lines Of railroad
to st. Louis, Chicago and Galveston,
and as a natural consequence cheap
freight, giving them a great advantage
over merchants of neighbOring towns.
Capital has been attracted by these adj
vantages, and Dallas has built up with
a rapidity heretofore unknown in Tex
as. A view of the city from the dome
of the magnificent court house recent-
ly finished, reveals solid blocks Of sub

Tube Drinking.

During these warm days, the tempt
alton always is to drink more liquid
than is best for us. \ good way to OBJ
vate this, and at the same time to
slake the thirst fully, is to take water,
lemonade, or iced tea, through small
tube--the smaller the better. BY this
method The liquor seems to reach the
palatc more directly, aud certainly
quenchcs the thirst with half the guam
tity taken alter the ordinary manner.
You may test this to your satisfaction
by using and dispensing with y tube
Oh alternate days. A number of per-
sons of our acquaintance, who have
been in the habit of drinking so much
water in summer rs to render them
selves uncomfortable, have tried the
tube, and been surprised mt thcreduced
quantity needed, aud at the increased
satisfaction gained. An Old-fashioned
"straw" will answer the purpose well

The New York Herald, in an article
on the duty of the government toward
the south, called forth by the square
thingn which the president was re-
ported tn have said to Senator Robert
son, of South Carolina, makes use Of
the following truthful language:
The southern people will haveto
show unusual magnanimity before they
can support Grant for a third term.
The president and his party are alone
to blame. not only for what we see in
the Carolinas, but for what is seen in
Louisiana, Alabama and other states.
From his political genius, sustained as
he has been by the country as no presi-
dent has been sustained since WASH
ington, we have hoped for the recon-
struetion of the south. Instead Of re-
construction we have chaos. If Presi-
dent Grant cain enable US to revive and
rehabilitate the southern states he will
add another 10 the honor he has
achieved as soldier and as chief mag
istrate.
