The school for cOlored children on Cher

conducted In the same excellent manner
as the other. We were pleasantly enter
tained at the Cherry street school by mu-
steal exercises.
We respectfully suggest to the city au.
thOrities that the market house would not
suffer by an occasional cleansing and
scrubbing with clear, fresh water; we are
led 10 believe that there is plenty of water
In the building, and II should be used.
We desire to call your particular atten'
tion TO n subject which has created great
deal Of trouble 10 this county, but which,
attack II as we would, there has been
nothing tangible brought out oil It. We re.

one iota OF evidence have we been able to
develop. Circumstances point strongly
to several dealers, but on none have we
been able to lasten the actual guilt. This
has been the most disagreeale and difficult
matter we have had to consider. We
recommend some stringent Legislation on
the subject.
In conclusion. we beg leave to Join our
praise with that OF the entire community
In the course Of our Judge, who has be.

market:
WHEREAS, As the law OF the Culted
States requires all cotton conveyed on
steamers carrying passengers strictly GOV.
cred, and as the large proportion Of cotton
received at this point Is brought by such
boats;

tional Cotton Exchange proposing re-.
duction OF lbs 10 the bale, was passed un.
der the mistaken idea that the government
regulation on the subject had been re.
pealed; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That We have nOHright or au.
thority TO violate said law, and as II might
lead TO litigation with underwriters, con.
sequently side cloths should not be
omitted.
Resolved, That 1t is as much or more to
the interest Of the buyer than the planter
that cotton should in all cases be shipped
In a condition TO avoid as little damage as
possible.
Resolved, AS 1t is well established
fact that buyers OF cotton take as much
into consideration in the purchase Of cot.
ton the tare on same-aS they do on
the ireights or exchanges they have to

Resolved, That we deem 1t inexpedisnt
to make any change in an old and long es

posed to making any deduction for side
pieces
The Secretary was authorized to have

The wants OF the trade have been slight
ly felt to-day, owing principally 10 the
holiday which was taken by large p0r.
tiOn OF our business men. Delta, with her
tournament and ball, has been the attrac'
tion, robbing our city Of hundreds Of her
people tOT days enjoyment across the
river. There has been little cause, how
ever, Tor the absentses to regret their Wis.
It; business matters having been at q
stand.still, with little or nothing transpir-
Ing In any Of the mercantile pursuits
which could not be attended 10 By those
who had been left ut home.
The banks report fair amount OF col.
lectlons, but deposits were slack, and
checks for the purchase Of cotton decided
ly at q discount, when numbers were
taken into consideration. Cotton bills,
both for the East and export, have been
freely offered, however, and point with
an unerring dnger to tine fact that our
market is still right side up, and needs
but the stimulus OF ample capital TO make
her one Of the leading interior points Of the
whole cotton belt.
Street brokers continue to complain Of
little 10 do. The demands for sorips have
ceased, offerings dropping TO nothing In
amount, while the rapid receipts OF cotton
have eased up the financial condition OF
borrowers, until only an occasional de-
mand is made on their purse strings. Ex.
change rates are unchanged, and We con.

Children Never Live Long.


When they are not carried away in
little collins and laid forever in the
silent grave, they become transformed
so rapidly that we lose them in another
way. The athletic young soldio or
collegian, the graceful heroine of the
ballroom, may make proud the parental
heart, but they quite console it for the
eternal loss of the little beings who
plagued and enlivencd the early years Of
marriage? A father may sometimes feel
a Legitimate and reasonable melancholy
as he sadly contemplates the most
promising of little daughters, full of
vivacity and health. How long will the
dear child remain to him She will be
altered in six months; in six years she
will be succeeded by u totally different
creature-a creature new in flesh and
blood apd bone, thinking other thoughts
and speaking another language. There
is a sadness even in that change which is
increase and progression, for the glory
of MONDAY has destroyed the sweet deli
cacy Of the dewy Aurora, and the wealth
Of summer has obliterated the freshness
of the spring.
