Tho New Crop Cotton.

New York, July 19.-The first
bale of the new cotton crop was put
up for sale to-day at the Cotton Ex.
change, and was bought by Merrill &
Co., brokers, at 18 cents pound.
Speaking Of this bale, the New Orleans
Price Current Of Wednesday last
says: Our cotton circles were CON-
pletely taken by surprise this morning
by the receipt Of a bale of new cotton,
not from Rio Grande, as usual, but
from St. Landry Parish, shipped by
MIR. Joseph Bcrund from his planta-
ton on the Teche. There can be no
mistake about the bale being all Of a
new crop. It is well ginncd, Of good
color, chasing middling fair to fair,
new classification, and weighing up
wards Of 400 pounds. We learn that
this cotton is mostly from Mr..
Berand's plantation, but received
liberal contributions from his neigh.
hora, whe we're furnished by him with
eseed, which is an unusually early
variety, known as the 'Herlong,'
selec'ed with the anticipation ofget-
ting an early yield. Owing to recent
rains, no moro can be expected Tor
some time from the same locality. The
bale was purchased by Col. w. N.
Owen, at the fancy price of 25 cents,

a Squash in Harness.

- oYoaou III UutueSSs
Some accounts, ofthe lifting power
of vegetable in its growth, as deter
mined from week to week by putting
peculiar test upon squash, have
heen published from time to time, but
the whole progress Of the experiment
was detailed by President Clark, at
u late meeting Of the Massachusetts
State Board of Agriculture, in lee
ture on "Plant Growth" We take
the account from the report in the
Nc,c England Farmer:
"It had been known for a long time
that plants exertcd considerable force
during their growth. Beans, acorns
and other seeds lift an amount of
IA &ssgat; rs tfey fist up from the soil
in the early stages of their growth.
Mushrooms huve been known to lit
flag stones weighing eighty pounds
from their bed in garden walks, and
shade-trecs in our streets frequently
lift tho payements, andsseven crowd in
basement walls under our houses, with
their roots. The force meayured in
black birch was equal. to raising a
column Of water eighty-six feet, while
the sap was in motion. The idea was
conceived ut the Massachusetts Agri
cultural College of measuring the
force ofa growing plant, and squash
was selected rs subject for such an
experiment. 1t seemed to be the most
available Of anything we could try.
So, last spring, bed Of ricl, compost
was prepared and placed in one ofthe
glass houses Mt The College, where
observations could bo made night and
day through the summer, and during
allweather. The soil was placed in a
large, tight box or tank. in which the
roots were made to stay, md during
some of the stages Of the squash's
growth it was watched, and hourly
observations made and recorded, f r
a whole week at time.
! Squashese are made up Of fbrous
tissues; the outside fibrcs run length
wise, then another set, like bands,
cross these, holding the squa.hes to-
gether the other way, and then, on
the inside, is another set running
lengthwisc, to which tho seeds are
attached. The unharncsscd squash
was now exhibited, showing unmis-
taxable signs Of having been driven
in harness much too small for it. )
A strong box had been prepared to
receive it, with boards SEE edgewiso in
the bottom, On which the squash was
laid, like baby in its cradle, but un-
like the baby il was told to lie there
during its entire growth to the period
ofmature squashhood. Iron bolts and
straps easily secured the cradle. but
something must be done to keep the
growth from rising, or ifit did rise, to
indicate tlicpowcr cxcrted. An iron
crate or harness, made open to ndait
light and air, as the squasli WOULD rot
in tight closed box, was formed in
shape similar to the saddle of cart
harness. This was plact9 over the
squash and weights placed upon it.

Altar of. Roses,

The following account of the sources
and preparation of the perfume, known
as altar of roses, we gather from most
reliable recent work on plant products,
the "Pharmacographia of Fluckiger
and Hanbury. 1t was unknown to the
Greeks and Romans. The rose-oil of
Dioscorides was fatty oil, perhaps oil
OF olives, in which roses had been
stepped. The first knowledge we have
of the distillation of roses came from
Persia, by way of Constantinople, to-
wards the close of the thirteenth CEN
tury. But the earliest mention we have
of the altar is by Kempfer, very much
later. k@mpfer speaks with admiration
of the rose gardens he saw at Shiraz, in
1884, end says that the water distilled
from them IS exported to other parts of
Persia, as well as to all India; and he
adds, as singular fact, that there sepa-
rates from it certain fat, like butter,
called Attr gyt, of the most exquisite
odor, and more valuable than gold. 1t
was not until the seventeenth century
that the oil of roses was known, ana sold
very sparingly by the apothecaries of
Italy and Germany. It was scarcely
known in English commerce until the
commencement of this century.
The chief locality for altar of rose, at
least for that which comes to Europe
and America, is small tract in Asiatic
Turkey, on the southern side of the
Balkan mountains, in the province of
Rumelia. The damask rose is the species
used, mainly, if not exclusively. The
flowers are gathered before sunrise, and
are always distilled on the same day.
Those that are not taken directly to the
still, are spread out in cellars. The still
is of copper, of the simplest description,
to which straight tin tube is added,
cooled by traversing q tub fed by
stream of water. The roses are thrown
In whole, twenty-five to fifty pounds to
charge, with an adequate supply of
water. The runnings are received in
glass TASKS, which are kept for day or
two at atemperaturen not lower than sixty
deg. Fahrenheit, by which time most of
the oil, bright and fluid, will have risen
to the surface. From this it is skinned
off by means of small tin funnel, with
a long handle and q fine orifice. The
yield of the altar from the rose-water
does not exceed 0.04 per cent. A large
part of the rose-water used in England,
is made in the southeast of France, at
Cannes and Nice where also a little
rose oil is produced, of fine quality,
commanding high price.

A Notable Place.

Quincy, Massachusetts, is a notable
birthplace of great men, such as John
Hancock, the Adamses, Quincys, and
others more or less famous. 1t is pic
turesque old town. From the summit
of Presidents hill the eye sweeps over
a magnificent scene, crowded with remi-
niscences of century ago. Directly
beneath, on the east, is the site of the
old home of John Hancock, now occu-
pied by the Adams Academy; to the
southeast stands the decaying g mansion,
with neglected surroundings, where
both John Adams and John Quincy
Adams were born; and nearer by, on
the north, is the fine old estate which
was built by Tory and confiscated to
the government, and which afterward
became the residence of John Adams,
and is still occupied by his grandson,
Hon. Charles Francis Adams; few rods
further to the north, half hidden in the
surrounding foliage, stands the old club
house, known as the Greenleaf Home,
where many of the leading patriots of
the revolution were wont to meet and
confer together, and where were mr.
ranged plans which were vital to liberty.
These and many other relics of patriot
ism are still standing here to. recall
scenes which have long since passed into
history.

The New Panacea.

Modern science having demonstrated
that alcohol is neither food nor physic,

account, as well as because of the singu-

dyspepsia, liver complaint, disorders of
the bowels, nervous diseases, general
debility and all maladies growing out of
intemperance, they warmly recommend
it as restorative and alternative of sur

Half q Hog Apiece.

Statistics carefully collected by the
Department Of Agriculture reveal the
startling fact that within the United
States at this present moment there are
con the hoof" no less than $4,000, 900
head Of hogs. Exclusive of aged tooth
less persons and young infants, and
those who abstain from pork as an uu-
clean thing, there are now living in the
United States just about $4,000, 900
human beings. The altogether appalling
deduction from these facts is only too
obvious, the horrible conviction being
forced upon us that, within the next
twelvemonth, each individual able
bodied man, woman, and child within
the boundaries of this misguided land.
where once was liberty, must eat half a

A Popular Book,

Reports from agents thus far received
by the publishers of the new book enti-
tied "The Present Conflict of Science
with the Christian Religion" show an
average sale of five copies per day for
each agent. This indicates much larger
sale than was attained by the author 8
former work, of which the extraordinary
sale of $4,000 copies was made in very
short time. DIR. Morris already has q
high reputation as nm author, and his
new book will occupy one of the highest
places in literature. It is book for the
times, work on the most vital question
of the day. The magazines and the
daily and religious papers are constantly
filed with articles on one side or other
of this great question. 1t is talked of in
private conversation, discussed in public
lectures, and preached from the pulpit.

early manhood, he was as the lofty holy-

he wore his pants stuffed into high ton

his breast, and broad hat that swept
away from his burning forehead like the
