"MOther's Boy ;, at Sea.

Barry was a duckling in the water.

but his mother often felt that I" Mothers
Boy" was growing out of her reach. He
had been brought up at her side. It
gave her a little pang to see him Testive
when she tried to keep him there. And
it must be said when Barry climbed up
to the ledge called the F'White Boar,
and sat looking Off on the ocean, he had
a vague longing to be out on that lovely
sheet of water, shining in the sun, tum-
bling into bright green waves, and stretch

south was his fathers big ship-sailing
among the spice islands, may be; or
gliding by shores where strange birds
and beasts and painted savages were
dotted along, as IN the pictures of a geo
graphy. The Sagadunk fishermen used
to 90 out of the haTbOr early in the morn
ing and return late at night. Barry
sometimes saw them from his chamber
window as he dressed himself at sunrise.
They spread their sails like wings; the
soft morning breeze sprang up; and so
they sailed away and disappeared down
the far-oH horizon. They seemed 10 sail
into the sky. One day, Barry privately
inquired Of Old Kutch, who was a
famous fisherman of Sagadunk, if he

The President has sent to the Senate
the nomination of Edward c. Billings, for
United States District Judge for Louisiana,

Attorney General Pierrepont has in
preparation bill designed to guard against
the taking OF unlawful and improper testi-

Statisticians of the department of ag-
riculture have completed the compilation of
official returns for the past month, and find
correct the general assumption of lower
yield OF lint in proportion to seed-cotton.
Only Arkansas and Texas report a larger
proportion than in 1874. The Atlantic States,
which have previously made low estimates
of the aggregate production, all return smaller
yield of lint seed in comparison with pre-
vious crops, and none of them over thirty
pounds to each hundred pounds Of seed.
The average decrease in all the States is four
per cent. This reduction is attributed in
most cases to excessive moisture and the re-
suit of imperfect development of the boil,
aud in some to the effects of early drought
in preventing full maturity Cotton grown

ton of development of seed than of lint
The average quality of tn e fiber is somewhat
lower than last year. Arkansas and Texas
furnish the only exceptions to this state
ment, though the average depreciation is
slight in Louisiana and Alabama. It is
greatest in Mississippi and the Atlantic
States. The proportion of the crop gathered
on the first of December was 90 per cent
reported as follows: North Carolina, 50
South Carolina, e5; Florida, 81; Georgia, 81 /;
Alabama, 81 Mississippi IS; Louisiana, s. j;
Texas, 81; Arkansas, 70; Tennessee, 81. In
announcing the monthly cotton reports Of
the season, the average condition from June
TO October is made 935 per cent, against SS
in the same period of 1874 This would in
dicate crop Of about 100000 bales. With
an equally favorable autumn and an equal
proportion of lint, the loss of 4 per cent in
the yield of lint makes a reduction of 156,-
600 bales, and the difference in maturing and
gathering since October points to r further
reduction of to 4 per cent, with margin
OF 100000 bales for contingencies after the
first week in December. The seasons re-
ports, taken together, indicate a crop Of not
less than 100000 bales, nor more than =
10000.

Not Very Polite, to Say the Least.

The Catholic ReUie1 boasts that the
Catholic population of this country is
increasing.so rapidly that /" it seems to be
merely question Of time, and that not
very remote, when its number will pre-
ponderate over all other religious faiths"
In view of this fact it says We can
afford TO wait this consummation of the
glorious will of God, !" though to wait is
hard, and to endure assault while forbid
den to strike back, especially when you
know you are able to strike effectively,
requires great forbearance. Catholics,
we are told, "dOn't want TO engage in a
fight, but ifa fight is forced upon them,
let their opponents beware. " At any
moment" says the ReUje10, " the Catholics
of the United States move as a body,
they can decide any election. We know
that they can not, nor do they desire to,
form a distinct political party; but they
can make any such party triumphant or
insure its defeat" This, we are told, is
not bid for the favor of Democrat or
Republican" but then, at the same
time, we are informed that the Re
publican party is about to die" and we
are left to infer that the hopes of the
Catholics are in the Democratic party.
The ReUiei0 affects great calmness and
serenity, but under present ciTcum-
stances does +" not think it inadvisable to
ponder somewhat upon the strength
their numbers give them" Utteranees
such as these are calculated to induce
Others than Catholics to "pOnder."

A Yirforinus South.

The truth is, the entire South is grow
ing rapidly IN population. There has
been no great rush of immigration, but
a constant trickIing into various healthy
and fertile sections Of our fair Southland,

seek refuge from the inclemency of their
colder climate. In South Carolina,
Florida and Arkansas and North LOuisi-

very marked, while in Texas there has
been an absolute tide Of new peoples

Alabama we have witnessed a current Of
immigration of no magnificent kind.

To JUDGE from the reports for 1875
and 1873, the discrimination against
New York by the various railroads is
beginning to tell. During the first nine
months of 1874, the grain receipts in
the metropolis we're 84,166,O49 bushels,
but during the corresponding period of
1875 they were only 6S, ,2S4, ,20l-a loss
of about one-quarter of the whole
traffic. But while New York lost more
than twenty million bushels, the exports
from the principal ports of the Atlantic
were 100000 greater in 1875 than 1874,
and what vexes the metropolitan mer-
chants most is the fact that the mischief
is being done by railroads that were
built with their money.
