1t is estimated that the amount OF
cotton sold in October, this year, in
the Southern State, will net producers
from eight to ten million dollars more
than the sales for October last year.
This is not from the larger sales, but
from the increased price for cotton.

WILL THE JEWS RETURN TO PALESTINE?
The Record Of the Free Church Of Scotland.
IN answer to this question, gives tho following
important summary:
This is not possibility Of the far future.
They are going back now, and what is more
interesting TO the Christina is that the land of
their promised lnheritanc, is rapidly becoming
their own 10 fee. Ii We compare tho present
time with eighty throo years ago, when the
Sublime Porte permitted cLl three hundred to
live within tho walls OF tho Holy City the
change IS remarkable. Forty years sioce tho
Porte modified this original order so that q
larger number could abide thero but they
were Shut up 10 narrow aud filthy quarters.
next to the dog and leper quarters, tho objects
OF contempt and cruel oppresii1ns. But even
this quarter restriction was removed ten years
ago. And now the iu|iug power is io the
hand cf Great Britain, and the sceptre itself is
ln the hand of an lSraeto, aud Baron Roth

wero removed bought all the lard which could
be obtaiccd within the gates, and have built

Tue advocates Of abolition Of the death
penalty find strong argument, and one far
more eloquent than words, in the constant
ly-recurring butcheries perpetrated under
the present system. On Friday two of these
happened, so revolving in all their c.reum-
stances, so horribly inhuman, as to havea
tendency to cause the strongest believer in
the scafold, it not TO vaver in his convic-
tions, at least to question the wisdom and
utility of the present method Of executing
the law. At Camden, New Jersey, Bepja-
min Hunter was hanged for murder. just
before the execution he had attempted to
commit suicide by severing an artery with
a piece of broken glass, and on the scafold
he was so weak that be had to be supported
by four men and being apparently utterly un-
conscious This was bad enough; but
the rope was SO ill-adjus.ed that it barely
lifted the unfortunate man from the fOOr,
when he fell back and was caught BY the
assistants The sheriff then grasped the
rope, and. with his men, held it up until the
victim died ofstrangulation. Hunter, how
ever, gave no outward evidence Of pain,
hanging as quietly as though he had died
instantly. A somewhat less shocking scene
occurred on the same day at the execution of
Michael Farrell, at Quebec. Here, too,
the rope was Improperly adjusted and the
victim grasped the ropo and held it until
forced to relinquish it by the hangman-
Such things certainly ought not to be.
