The Shfyering cold and pinching irOsts
of winter will soon be upon us, and the
genial warmth OF a pleasant fire will soon
cause the household where plenty reigns
10 gather around the hearthstone, there
10 engage 10 happy converse and cheerful
gladness. In such hours aud amid such
scenes let US not forget the converse OF
tho picture but remember the iriendless
and the orphan, and especially the little
ones in whose behalf the beneiacliOns Of
q generouA public are solicited.
The ManageES and Directors Of the
the Children's Home Of this city appeal
to tho public with confidence that they
will DO heard and answered. Depending
on the graIuiLous kindness which in the
past has been demonstrated by liberal
contributions, they would remind the
public that they are now in need Of funds
and such necessary articles Us coal, cloth.
ing, linen and family supplies Of all
kinds.
To the end that those articles may be
promptly secured, committees have been
appointed, and the city has been district.
ed so that the work may be systematicaI.
ly performed, and that all who are 80 in.
clined may have the privilege Of bestow.
ing what they can on this Trustworthy
object.
The names Of the persons on the differ.
ent committees, together with the respeC.
tive districts to which they have been
assigned, will be announced in the course
Of q lew days and we express the hope
that all who are called upon will DO all
they can to promote the work in which
they are engaged, "for he that givetll TO
the poor lendeth 10 the Lord"
The Board have also adopted a form
Of certificate Of membership 10 be Issued
10 all those who annually contribute to
the "Home" the sum OF five dollars or a
greater sum, the holders Of which are
entitled 10 vote at the meetings for the
annual election Of directors, thus obviat-
ing the difficulty under which many have
labotel heretofore Of the existence Of
doubt whether they were entitled 10
vote TT such annual elections.
Let each one give as the Lord hath
prospered him or her. A little from each
will produce large aggregate which will
prove blessing TO the helpless and de-
pendent ones-yea, will be twice blessed
blessing him that gives and him that
takes.

United States, and that the free and
independent people can not surrender
their right to elect their chief execu-
tive officer without personal disgrace.
Resolved, That the temporary con-
troll of the civil and military powers Of
the Government by one OF the politi-
cal parties constitutes a sacred trust.
which is fagrantly violated by the use
of those powers by such party for the
purpose of perpetuating itselfin power.
Resolved, That the usurpetion Of
the functions of civil authority by the
military power is full of danger to free
institutions, aud that the use of this
power, not in the service of the coun-
try, but in the furtherance of the in
terest of party and the employment
of national troops in times of peace to
control honest elections, or to control
the organization of State Legislatures,
or to overawe the Congress Of the
United States, is an outrage upon the
rights and liberties of the people,
Prolonged applause
Resolved, That the secretary ofthis
meeting be instructed to forward cop
les of these resolutions to the Paesi-
dent of the United States, to the Pres
ident of the Senate, aud to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives.

We are obliged to the New Century
Art Publication company for one OF their
exquisite chromos. but we feel COM
peled to return it with the request that
they send us some less elaborate study
in its stead. The picture, " Autumn
Scenes on American Farms" is beautiful
enough, the atmosphere ia marked with
rare transparency, the foreground is Il
marvellous copy of nature, the Perspepc-
tive is perfect, the high light, middle
tint and background are all good, the
drawing is accurate and the colofing
delicate and natural, and we will say the
other things about it when the company
sends us the other art slang. But we
cannot hang it up in our house. We
have son, who will in all probability be
raised in the city, and we cannot, with
out doing violence to the feelings of a
iather, permit the hope and staff OF our
declining years to grow up, and by con
stant study of that picture, fall into the
belief that American farmers, in tight
boots and claw. hammer coats, and thell
wives and daughters in princesse dresses
and Valenciennes lace and kid slippers
90 ont in the autumn with a pair o
blooded horses and basket phaeton, anc
gather blood-red and golden yellow
apples off the same spreading, gnarlec

The cotton returns of the department
OF agriculture, made on the first week in No.
vember, compare the product in bales within
the following comparison by states with the
crop Of last year. Tcxas has the lowest per
ccntage, and would he still lower but for If.
teen per centum increase OF acre. Arkansas
and Tennessee stand high, not only by rea'
son Of good crop, but because their yields
were relatively low last year. Alabama Is
above hundred only because het last crop
was a very poor one. The figures are as fol-
lows: North Carolina, 81 South Carolina,
90; Georgia, % Florida, 81; Alabama, 100 !;
Mississippi, a2 Louisiana, 81; Texas, S?;
Arkansas, 40; Tennessee, ll5. This

Cavalry reiments may be recruited TO one
hundred men in each company, and kept rs
near as practicable to that number; and Il
sufficient force of cavalry shall be employed
in defense OF the Mexican and Indian from.
tier of Texas. The committee do not rec.
ommend any increase in the amounts voted
by the house, but on the contrary propose a
reduction OF $4,000 in the item for the con.
version of smooth b0rcs to rifed cannon,
$4,000 in the amount for hospitals, and $500

mistake Gods providence whenever we
undertake to limit the Women's tenn
perance movement by any denomina-
iional lines whatever. The crusade, out
of which ou. work has grown, insisted on
no shibboleth. 1t welcomed to its ranks
any person of reputable life who chose
10 come into work whose basis was
prayer, the Bible and the temperance
pledye. While am not here to make
any specific allusion, in the way of denial,
to anv statements that may have ap.
feared, am here to affirm that, were
all the circumstances known, out OF
which these statements grew, | should

erable portion OF that state. The average

Weld per acre at Is bushels, and the total
crop 35O,O0O,O00 bushels, and as there is 40
