On the 22d inst, we were visited
by the edge of the storm predicted
by Prof. Tice, which appears TO
have passed further east of us. 90
ing in a southerly direction. 1t
gave us a smart breeze with a
slight sprinkle. but beyond this no
harm was done. The past week
since the storm has been rather
rainy, and some setback has been
given to cotton picking. Never
theless, considerable quantities of
the sovereign staple in already in
the gins, and we hear that a couple
OF dozen bales are already in wait
ing for shipment, and by the time
another trip can be made by Red

a fair load of cotton from Grant

abundance.

No Yellow Fever.

From a letter from Judge Black
man we learn that it is currently
reported in Alexandria that there
are twelve cases of yellow fever at
Colfax. 1t is needless to say that
there is not word of truth in the
report. This is an instance of
what ridiculous stories madam ru-
NOR will manufacture. We have
heard the same story, reversed, in
regard to Alexandria. There is
not a case of yellow fever at Alex
andria, nor at any other point on
Red river that we have heard of,
and it is unnecessary for the peo-
pie in this district to be at all
alarmed at the senseless rumors
ahoat.

A Quaint English Custom.

Once in every year the treasury of
London honOrs q draft to the mount of
f230, in payment for certain wooden
goods that have been presented by the
city to the highest officers of the crown.
From a list in the Chamberlain's Office.
1t appears that there are thirteen gentle
men who respectively receive this COM
plimentary gift Of "four and one-half
yards of the finest black cloth that the
country can produce" For this singu-
lar custom there is now no a or au-
thority beyond what may be derived
from precedent. 1t was thought to be
right and proper in the days Of Edward
], and therefore, it may not be discon-
tinued in the reign of Victoria. Anti.
quarian research has traced it back to
1872, and it may antedate ever that re-
mote period for all that is definitely
known to the contrary. Originally de-
to foster a feeble manufacturing
interest, it is continued at a time when
that interest ia exporting the finest fab
RIGS to colonies and independent states in
lands whose existence was not dreamed
of in King Edwards time. The gift
long since lost all significance as to a
protective measure to incipient enter
prise, but, like a thousand and one Eng
lish matters of routine, the custom re-
mains, simply and only because it is a
custom.

The Primary Cause OF a Distant Symp.
fnm-

Nervousness is rarely a disease in itself
inherent, but is the liDeal offspring Of dys.
pepsia, in a majority OF cases. The nervous
disturbance is at frst ~trifing, but ultimate.
ly its parent so undermines the general
health as to produce consequences very
threatening to that great nervous centre. the
brain. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
most powerful medicinal opponent of the
ravsges of indigestion, and protects the
nervous system from them. The remors
the unnatural anxiety, the headaches, the
slecplessness and loss of appetite which
eharaeterizes digestive irregularity and
weakness, and which are almost invariably
accompanied by an uncertain condition OF
the bowels and inactivity of the liver, are
all ersdicated by this matchless corrective,
and when nervousness does not proceed
from the cause designated, it affords most
grateful relief.

A Beggarly Custom.

A singular story is that told by a cor
respondent writing to the Neu York
Commercial Advertiser. According to
his representations it must be very ex-
pensive business to accept an invitation
to make u visit at some of the 'swelr'
country estates in England. The cores
pendent, who has perhaps been through
the mill, says it requires a wonderful
amount of brass to be able to face a
string of walters and chambermaids on
quitting a hotel unless you intend to fee
them all, although why ore should do
80, considering they have done nothing
for one, and their attendance is all
charged'enormously for in the bill, is not
30 clear.
But to leave a country house without
spending 4 small fortune in fees is quite
impossible. In some cases the servants
take the place because they know their
master will entertain and they will reap
a great harvest. After a good days sport
five pounds is considered the smallest
sum that can be offered to the game keep
er. While on leaving after say q weeks
stay the butler expects about two
guineas. If there are ladies of the party,
Vel suiiliuEs edcn must De gwen 10 the
upper housemaid, while, of course, the
fOotman must have something for the
boots, and the groom, if you have rid
den; also, the coschman, for taxing yol
TO the station. So If % changes ones
quarters, ~ some do every week, this,
however pleasant, is by DO means an
economical way Of spending the off sea-
son. BY the by, l forgot 70 mention the
country church IN Sundays, where q col
lection is always taken, and very often a
private service in the drawing-room in
the evening, when it is limited that the
new pulpit or font wants Just about ten
pounds to set it all right, and a little vol
untary takes place Immediately, An
other delicate reminder is generally per-
formed by the gardener, who sends to the
ladies on their departure a nosegay of
flowers or small basket of choice fruit,
which one has to pay much dearer for
than in Covent Garden. All this, to.
gether with the fact that one has to be
very well and appropriately dressed,
should show that those with very low
purse ought not to attempt a round of
country house visits.
