The New York Bulletin, OF Thursday, re-
ports: There has been strong and up
ward tone on the market for contracts cover
ing the present crop year and a very good
business transacted. The manipulations on
the speculative line, as shown yesterday,
coupled with some increase in the movement
of actual cotton toward consumption, have
induced the shorts to protect themselves,
and especially as whispers of a corner COM
mence to be heard. For this month and
next, therefore, the demand was good and
the improvement sharp, with September par
taking slightly in the movement and the ad-
dition to cost. On the latter months there
was limited gain of value, but mainly of a
sympathetic character, as scarcely any de-
mand prevailed, and operations were inclined
TO move with great caution. Opinions differ
somewhat over the indications on crop, as
shown by the published bureau reports, but
the major portion of the trade appear to con-
clude that the showing is favorable, and this
view also has probably been.accepted abro I'd,
according to late cable advlces."

How Wasps Get their Building
Material.

Reaumur states that for twenty years
he endeavored, without success, to dis
cover the materials employed by wasps
in forming the blue-gray papery SUBJ
stance so much used in the structure OF
their nests. One day, however, he saw
female wasp alight on sash of a win
dow, and it struck him lie watching
her gnawing away the wood with her
mandibles that it was from such materi-
ais abe formed the substance which 20
long puzzled him. He saw her detach
from the wood bundle of fbres about
the tenth of an inch in length and finer
than hair, as she did not swallow
them, but gathered them into mass
with her feet, he had no doubt but that
his opinion was correct. In short time
lie saw her shift to another part of the
window, and carry with her the fbres
which she had collected, and to which
she continued to add. He then caught
her, and began to examine her bundle,
and found it was neither yet moistened
nor rolled into ball, as it is always done
before being used by the wasp in her
building. He also noticed that before
detaching the fbres she bruised them
into kind of lint with her mandibles.
All this he initiated with his pen-knite,
bruising and pairing the same wood till
it resembled the fbres collected by the
wasp; and so he discovered how wasps
manufactured their paper; for these
ibres are kneaded together in kind of
paste, and when the wasp has formed a
ball of them she spreads it out into
Leaf nearly as thin as tissue paper, and
this she accompanies by moving back
ward, and dwelling it with her mandi-
bles, her tongue and her teeth. And 80
the wasp forms paper, placing layer upon
layer, fifteen or sixteen sheets deep, and
thus preventing the earth from falling
down into her nest.

The Columbus (Ga. Enquirer says of

will be moving to-day. The entire 800
looms and 20, 900 spindles, purchased and
on hand for this mammoth structure, will
commence their lively rattle in few
months. Then the factory will have in
operation, in their three mills, $4,000
spindles aud 1,540 looms. No concern
in the south can begin to compare with
it in size, or in quality or variety of pro-
duction. These mills in short time
will have 1900 persons on the pay roll,
representing population of 4,5oo souls

Ritchell's Flying Machine.

General Edward w. Serrell, of New
York, corresponding member of the
British Aeronautical society, says of
Ritchell's flying machine, that it cannot
meet the demands of practical flying
device, because it presents too much sur
face to the air. Scientific men are pretty
well agreed on the essential points OF
such machine. 1t is a matter of math~
ematical and mechanical deduction, says
Gen. serrell, that I" if steam engine or
any other motor suitable, can be made to
give off twice as much power, in proper
ton to its weight as our best steam fires
engines now do, men and merchandise
could be carried on the wings, not of the
wind but of the steam engine, moving
against the heaviest storm just as the
eagle carries her young" Until the
problem of such a. motor is solved prac
tical flying machine is not to be hoped

European Agriculture.

&C. c. Fulton's Letter to the Balti more American
1t will doubtless be surprise to the
agricultural readers of the American to
be told that in our recent journey
through southern France, the entire Cir
cult Of Italy, through considerable
portion of Austria and Germany, through
Belgium and northern France, the dis
lance being nearly five thousand miles,
the much largest portion of the laborers
in the field were women. They were
not only making hay, but ploughing,
moving, hoeing, grubbing and planting.
They were not only doing the work of
men, but such work as men generally
depend on horses to perform. In all the
vast country we did not see horse rake,
a eultivator, or any labor-saving imple-
ment. The only cultivator was the
primitive hoe, and line Of women,
mostly superintendent by one or two men,
bent their backs to the labor. The only
ploughs looked as if they might have
been modelled after the implements which
Noah landed from the ark. We did see
one threshing machine standing on a car
at a depot in Austria, which was the
only labor-saving machine that attracted
our attention. But even in Italy, with
the exception of the Roman Campagna,
the culture was fine, and the crops most
promising of rich harvest. Every inch
of ground was made to yield to the ut
most, and wheat, corn. grapes and fruit
all bore evidence of skilliul cultivation.
In some portions of Italy the labor of
the field appeared like perfection, the
rocky lodges being cultivated wherever
there was earth to hold the vine or the
grain. In Austria We noticed fences
made of the stone taken off an acre lot,
FIVE feet high and six to ten feet in width.
Wherever the earth could be got at the
stones were heaped up to make room for
cultivation. The labore1s in the vine.
yaIds on the Rhine were mostly women.
What the men were doing it would be
difficult to say, but we rather think they
were at the beer gardens.

Arsenic Eating.

Arsenic eating has become one of the
fine arts of the American metropolis. OF
course it is as destructive as opium or
alcohol in the long run, but what does
lovely woman care if her appearance is
momentarily enhanced. The immediate
effect is the whiting of the skin, but the
after. ravsges are deadly. A physician
whose practice is largely with actresses
and the fashionable class who thus invite
death to their toilet, describes the infalil~
bic signs of arsenic>eating:
"When you see q woman with
swollen skin and puffy eyeiids, plump
and with milky whiteness of complex
ion, you may be sure you have a case.
They think they are plump, but it is
fictitious plumpness, Instead OF good
adipose tissue filling out the skin, there
is only a watery secretion. They have
brought about dropsical condition OF
the skin. And the first, most prominent
place in which it becomes apparent Ii LII
the eyelids, first the lower then the up
per. Examine the skin and you will see
that the pores seem enlarged and the
sk;n between them swollen and OF an
unnatural whiteness. And this is not
confined to tho face alone, you under"
stand. speak Of the face simply be-
ca,se that ycu can zee. And when you
lock for that transparent white color on
their faces don't be deceived by a deli
cate tinge Of red. If the brow and nose
have that corpsy white, the red on the
cheeks is paint. And no woman who
uses arsenic can do without paint"

Equality i'm Protection.

Says the Kansas City Price Current !:
"Within two or three years the south
will raise jute, as well as spin and weave
the fibre. A million acres Of land in In
dia are devoted to the culture of lutte.
One jute factory near Calcutta employs
$500 workingmen; Dundee, in Scotland,
has q hundred mills. employing 10000
operatives. The south can grow jute as
successfully as India can, and can man
ntacture it as successfully az Dundee
can. And this will be done il the inn
port dutieson jute be allowed to stand
until our jute plantations and factories
are fairly On their legs. To some extent
the cultivation and manufacture of lutte
is an experiment. Unless there be q
prospect Of handsome returns, the plant.
ers will not turn their attention to new
crops, nor will capitalists put their mo-
ney in new enterprises. Yet it is pro-
posed, just % new plantations and facto-
ries are making Q start to reduce the
duty on jute and expose 1.-THE south to a
competition that did not exist and was

TO MATE IN THREE MOVES.

Crimson the heart Of the sea- osl fire.
Bessie and I, In the rudy glow,
Her mother reads, and the old grand sire
Dresms of his youth, in the long sge."
Quiet and warmth and love in the room,
Now or never my suit to press;
Where the hyaclnths shed their sweet PERU me,
We play two games-one love, one chess.
Queen of the red, and queen of my heart,
When will you wear my golden ring?
Flushing her cheeks the roses start,
Slyiy she murmurs, "Check to your king"
NV pawns advance, press On and die;
I he bishops battle in lines eb ique;
NV brave knights fall; but can't tell why
my heart grows strong us my game grows weak.
Darling, answer me, lift your eyes;
Your mother sleeps and the time approves
Speak sw Get mouth, with glad prise:
You'll be mated, sir, in three more moves.'
Then let this be one-and her dimpled hand
Looks all the fairer for plain gold ring;
In vain rally my scattered band,
As again she checks my poor lost king.
Nearer her gold-brown curls to mine,
The chess-men seem in a dark eclipse.
Check shall die and make no signf
And steal kiss from her ripe red lips.
Mattel and her joyous eyes proclaim
Who wins BY love, ano who in chess;
And the pride OF my life is the golden game,
That was lost, when won my darling Besa.

A Lecher0us BOndh0lder.

A lecherous bondholder, one of the kind
whom Kearney dsnounces so vigorously. lives
in this vicinity. How the adjective applies, we
do not perceive, as she is a widow of about
eighty, mother, grandmother and great
grandmother, aud neither her husband, who
married her young, nor any of her relatives
could ever imagine such word In connection
with lady of her character. Still, in defer
ence to Kearney, we must consider that she Is
"a lecherous bondholder," the amount OF bonds
furnishing her an income yearly about equal to
what one of the horny. handed sons of toll, who
shovel coal from the colliers, earns in month.
On this she manages to supply herself with
food and clothing, refusing assistance from her
children and grandchildren, who live abroad In
various parts, and all doing well. This same
old lady has the right Of dover In half small
house, SO that she is boated capitalist, but her
income is so small that the assessors ara
ashamed to lay any tax thereon, and tbers Ia
scarcely more loom ii. the house than she needs
SO that she has nothing from rent. Moreover,
this lady, who seems to be in straiteued circnn-
stances, ehfeebled by age. and las harmless as
could well be conceived, is one Of the grinding
SSPpfessors OF iapor, one OF the employing class.
She owns i've shares af stock in a manufac-
tuilag corporation, which fifteen years ago
USED TO pay IRON twelve to twenty per cent,
out since her husbands death it has paid but
one dividend one year of two per cent, and
that they say was hired money. The lady
could hardly sell it for any sum, although at
one time it brought an enormous premium.
Dennis Kearney ought in consistency to come
down here and head mob to hang this 'lech-
erous bondholder" to the nearest lamp-post.
Yet we fear that even the horney listed sons Of
toll would object to violence toward LADY 40
