moment arrives. Indeed, as q prisoner con-
demned usually appeals as matter of course
to the Cour de Cessation against his sentence
he must be uncertain to the last whether the
sentence will be carried out. The order of the
execution Is only sent to the prison the even

not informed till the next morning, and the
sentence is carried out at a very early hour.

vICKsRUKG COTTON MARKET.

AS a stream damned up rushes on with
increased speed when combining distractions
are removed, so the cotton business of the
Mississippi, spite of the crippled condition of
trade in England, is manifesting a wonderful
degree of activity, now the pestilence that
has prevailed has disappeared. In Memphis
the total receipts are every day approaching
nearer to those of the same date last year,
and cotton is coming in at the rate of thirty
FIVE hundred bales a day, while sales have
reached as high as FIVE thousand bales in a
single day. We are glad to see that our sis
ter city of Vicksburg, which has been afflicted
as we have been, is also, like ourselves, ex
periencing gratifying recuperation of bust
ness. From the Vicksburg Herald, of Tues
day last, we learn that the prospects for pros
perity in that city are good. The Herald
says: ''The annual movement of cotton at
this point speaks In gratifying manner to
our business men generally, and proves, be-
yond a doubt, that the many drawbacks
which Vicksburg has mad to contend against
were still insufficient to prevent a rapid in
crease in her prospects" The Herald reports
a total receipt at that point of 1886 bales,
against 81, 048 bales at the same date year
ago; and total shipment of Sc, 904 bales,
against 54,821 bales a year before. These
figures certainly Justify the Herald's estimate
of better prospects for the Vicksburg trade.
We congratulate Vicksburg on its excellent
evidences of a full participation in the bene-
fits of ''the good time coming"

Joplin Railroad project in Arkansas
We have been handed, by Capt. Lee
Taylor, letter addressed to him by
Col. 4. IL. Brown, Superintendent of the
Joplin railroad company, from which we
copy the following:
AZ will be in Bentonville within two
weeks. and hope to be able to offer our
friends rate that will take the business,
am sorry that Gen. Meyer has disap
pointed the expectations of your people.
As soon as this matter with him is def
nitely settled the Joplin company and
its friends will build your road, and
think we will have no trouble in coming
to just aod equitable understanding,
and had not this business been bulled on
your charter question, our road would
have been in operation to Neosho or
CRANKY. Enough of this let us all
work for the future
This company evidently means bust
ness, and we hope our people will not
feel discouraged by the recent failure,
but with renewed prospects of road
being built, will make another earnest
effort to do what is necessary on their
part toward the financial success of the
enterprise.
