Statisticians of the department OF ag-
culture have completed the compilation OF
official returns for the past month, and find
correct the general assumption of lower
Weld of lint in proportion to seed-cotton.
Only Arkansas and Texas report larger
| proportion than in 1874. The Atlantic States,
which have previously made low estimates
| of the aggregate production, all return smaller
Weld of lint seed in comparison with pre-.
vious crops, and none Of them over thirty
| pounds to each hundred pounds oil seed.
The average decrease in all the States is four
per cent. This reduction is attributed in
most eases to excessive moisture and the re-
suit of imperfect development OF the boil,
and In some to the effects Of early drought
in preventing full maturity. Cotton grown
in the fields heavily dressed with commercial
| fertilsers is found to have a greater proper
ton of development of seed than OF lint.
The average quality Of the 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. 1t 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, 95; Florida, 9l Georgia, so
Alabama, 81; Mississippi, 20; Louisiana, Sj
Texas, 81; Arkansas, 76; Tennessee, 81. In
announcing the monthly cotton reports o
the season, the average condition from June
to October is made 9SH per cent, against s.
in the same period OF 1874. This would in
dictate crop of about 100000 bales. With
an equally favorable autumn and an eqna
proportion of lint, the loss of per cent. in
the yield Of lint makes reduction of l'6,
900 bales, and the difference in maturing and
gathering since October points to further
reduction of . to 4 per cent, with a margin
of 100000 bales for contingencies after tht
first week in December. The seasons re

SEVERAL of the San Francisco papers
have expressed the fear that there is
great danger that the Chinese population
will soon become q formidable element in
politics, through the requisition of the
right of suffrage. Thus far, however,
only three or four Cinnamon have been
naturalized, and this followed from the
fact that they were born'in this country.
AS the Chinese have shown no desp0si-
tlon to settle permanently in the United
States but simply come here for money
making purposes and return home as
soon as they can, there will have to be a
radical change in their programme be-
fore the Chinese vote will become such
formidable affair. When they began
generally to bring their families with
them and settle here permanently, the
politicians may look out for the celestial
votes. This they have not done to any
great extent.

Old Mr.. Fruits and old Mrs. Fruits,
of Indiana, may well be called "the first
Fruits of the earth," the one being l3
and the other III years old. The old
gentleman neither smokes nor chews,
which goes TO show, as wise men have
long contended, that the true secret of
health and long life lies in total absti.
ncncc from the use of tobacco, and we
beg the young reader who is fond of the
weed to make note of the fact. This
venerable couple have lived and loved
and cut up andquarreled together as man
and wife for SO years. The old lady has
been an incessant smoker for sixty years,
which shows the absurdity of supposing,
as ssome blockheads contend, that the use
OF tobaccois injurious to health and short
ems life, and the young reader who is
fond of smoking or chewing we congratu-
late upon the fact.

JOHN BRIGHT, in letter to George II.
Phillips, advises those who advocate re-
form of funeral exhibitions and expenses
to copy the practice of the friends, than
which nothing can be simpler nor better.
But he regrets that the fashion of wear
ing mourning has increased among
friends, who do not comprehend or value
the principles ON which the parties of
their forelathers was based. Mr.. Bright
would thus ruthlessly destroy all that
makes deaths and funerals interesting
and profitable. These reformers would
even rob undertakers of their business
and widows of their weeds.
