THE COTTON CROP.


'pfihlt't sfHI.
To the President and Board Of Directors New Or.
leans cotton Exchange:
GcntIcmcn-Your committee on IN
formation and statistics beg leave to sub
nit the following report for September,
condensed from replies of C%orrcspOu-
dents in sections allotted to this de
partmcnL by the national cotton cx-
change, viz:
LOUlSIANA.
From thirty parishes we have fifty
eight replies bearing average date
September thirticth. They report uni.
v~crsalIy every dry weather, turning
quite cool towards che close of the
month, affecting the plant badly by caus-
ing the young bolls to shed and the
older ones Ia open prcmalurcly As Il
general thing there will be no "top
CROP The extreme dry weather has
caused cotton to open faster than usual,
and consequently picking has progressed
rapidly. The estimate by average of
damage by worms, rot, rust and drouth
in sixteen parishes il twenty per cent.
The yield as compared with last year is
at least sixteen and II half per cent. less
for the state.
Our replies dated October second re.
port Il heavy frost.
MISSISSIPPI.
Seventy. four correspondents, from
twentynlnc counties, report the weather
~ dry and hot, and generally favorable
for picking the effect Of the drouth,
however, has been to cause the bolls to
open p%rcmaturcIy, and tn" plant to shed
fruit. The progress of picking has been
rapid.
Most of the damage has been FROM boil
worms, catcrpillars and rust, very little
resulting from rot.
The yield, as compared with last year,
il estimated at fully twrnty.Onr per
cent. decrease. Frost is reported ON
the first and second of October, but
we have received no estimate of damage
thcreform.
ARKANSAS.
From twenty counties we have re-.
Celvcd tOrty.iOur MISUNDERSTANDING date
thirticth September.
The weather has been uniformly dry,
warm during the first fortnight Of the
month, and cool toward the latter part.
1t has caused the bolls to open rapidly.
and in many instances prcmaturclv-
has produced heavy shedding, and scri-
ously affected the top crop. We receive
many complaints Of injury through rust,
rot and boil worms, but the damage
from these causes docs not appear TO cx
coed ten to twelve per cent. Picking
is progressing very rapidly on the whole
in some sections, however, il has been
retarded by sickness among the laborcrs;
the yield compares very unilvorahIy
with last year, and according to our an.
swers, there will be a falling oil of fully
twenty-five per cent. Zone of our late
correspondence mentions Il killing frost
on the first and second inst, the damage
through which cannot now be estimated.

Preserving Flowers.

There are many of our brilliant
flowers, such as dahlias, pansies, pinks,
geraniums, sweet-williams, carnations
and gladiolus, which may be preserved
so Us to retain their color for years.
White flowers will not answer well for
this purpose, nor any succulent plant,
rs hyaeinths or cactus. Take deep
dishes, or those of sufficient depth to
allow the flowers to be covered an inch
deep with sand get the common white
sand, such as is used for securing pur-
poses; cover the bottom of the dish
with a layer about half an inch deep,
and then lay in the flowers, with their
stems downward, holding them firmly
in place while you sprinkle more sand
over them, until all places between the
petals are filled and the flowers buried
out of sight. A broad dish will accom-
modate quite large number; allow
sufficient sand between. Set the dish
in Il dry warm place where they will
dry gradually, and at the end of a week
pour off the sand and examine them; if
there is any moisture in the sand it
must be dried out before using again
or fresh sand may be poured over
them, the same as before. Some flow
ers will require weeks to dry, while
Others become sufficiently dry in a
week or ten days. BY this simple pro-
cess, flowers, ferns, &c, are preserved
i'll their proper shape as well as in their
proper color, which is far better than
to press them in books. When ar
ranged in groups and mounted on
cards, or in little straw baskets, they
may be placed in frames under glass.

The Woman you Love.

"Let the woman you look upon
be wise or vain, beautiful or homely,
rich or poor, she has but one thing she
can give or refuse-her heart. Her
beauty, her wit, her accomplishments,
she may sell to you-but her love is
without price. She only asks in re-
turn that when you look upon her,
your eyes shall speak mute devotion;
that when you address her, your voice
shall be gentle, loving and kind. That
you will not dispise her because she
cannot understand, all at once, your
vigorous thought and ambitious plans,
for when misfortune and evil have de-
feated your greatest purposes, her love
to console you. You look
upon the trees for strength and gran
deur,do not despise the flowers because
their fragrance is all they have to give.
Remember love is all that q woman
can give but it is the only earthly
thing which God permits us to carry
beyond the grave.

Don't Hurry Girls.

One of the crying evils of these
times is the tendency and disposition
of girls TO get through girlhood hur-
riedly and get into womanhood, or
rather into young-lady-hoOd, without
waiting to enjoy the beautiful season
of girl-hood. Speaking on this point,
Bishop Morris says: "Wait patient
ly, my children, through the whole
limit of your girlhood. Go not after
womanhood ; let it come to you.-
Keep out of public view. Cultivate
retirement and modesty. The cares
and responsibilities of life will come
soon enough. When they come you
will meet them, l trust, rs true wo-
men should. But oh be not so un-
wise as to. throw away your girlhood.
Rob not yourselves of this beautiful
season, which, wisely spent, will
brighten all your future life."

NapoIeon.s IIappiest Dan.

When Napoleon was asked in the
height of his prosperity, andsurrOunded
by abrilliant company ofthe narsha1s
and eourtIers of the empire, he was
asked what day he considered to have
been the happiest of his life. When
all expected that he would name the
occasion of some glorious victory, or
some great political triumph, or some
august celebration, or other signal re.
cognitiOn. of his genius and power, he
without n moments hesita-
ton, "The happiest day of my life

Fight your own battle. Hoe your
own row. Ask no favors of anyone,
and you will succeed Il thousand times
better than those who are always be-
seeching some ones patronage. No
one will ever help you rs you can help
yourself, because no one will be so
heartily interested in your affairs. The
first step will not be such n long one,
perhaps; but carving your own way up
the mountain, you make each one lead
to another, and stand firm in that while
you chop out still another. Men who
have, by their own exertiOns, acquired
fame have not been thrust into pOpu-
larity by puhs begged or paid for, or
given in friendly spirit. They have
Outstretched their hands and touched
the public heart. Men who win love
do their own wooing, and | never knew
one to fail so signally as one who had
induced his aIfectiOnate grandmama to
speak good word for him. Whether
you work for fame, for love, for mon
ey, or for anything else, work with
your hands, heart, and brain. Say,
4" l will' and some day you will con-
quer. Never let any man have it to
say, 81 have dragged you up" Too
many friends hurt Il man more than
none at all.

THE young men of Burlington,
Iowa, have organized an "Anti-go-tO-
neutrality-suspicious.
er" society, the members of which
pledge themselves to make no calls up
on young ladies who indulge in the de-
stroying habit of chewing gum through
the summer months. In cold wealth
it don't made so much difference, but
now, if a young man sits down on a
chair on the back of which young
lady has stuck her quid while she
sings, he can't get away without a
great deal of trouble, and when he
does get loose, it costs him something
to have his clothes repaired. The
protective movement was started un-
der the most favorable auspices, and
what is well begun is half done. =

THE DEVIL AND TIE LAWYER.

The Devil came mp 10 the earth one day,
And into the court house he wended his
way

face,
Was proceeding TO argue the points in
the case.
Now n lawyer his majesty never had seem
For TO his dominion none ever had been
And he felt very anxious the reason TO
know
Why none had been sent TO the regions
below.
Twas the fault OF his agents, his majesty
thought,
That none OF these lawyers had ever been
caught:
And for his own pleasure he felt desire
10 come 10 the earth AMI the reason
inquire.
Well, the lawyer, who rose with a visagcI
80 grave.
Made out his opponent a consummate
knave;
And the devil was really greatly amused
TO hear the attorney 90 soundly abused.
But soon as the speaker had come to a
close,
The counsel opposing him ficrcclv arose.
And heaped such abuse on the head Of
the first,
As made him a william OF all men the
worst.
Thus they quarrcled, contenlcd, and
argued So long,
Twas hard to determine which Of them :
was wrong;
Aul concluding he'd heard enough of the
fuss
0A Nick turned away and soli'oqnisod :
thus
