THE SOUTHERN COTTON
CROP.
Following IL the National Cotton
Exchange Crop Report for
.InlN.

NEW ORLEANS, August 8, 1879.
LOUISIANA.
This report is compiled. from eighty
six answers from thirty-two parishes,
the dates ranging from July Goth to
August 4th, inclusive; average date, 3lst
July. The weather is reported by the
greater number of our correspOndentsas
favorable to the crop, and, compared
with last year for same time, more favor
able. OF the lands planted in cotton no
abandonment of importance is reported.
The stands are reported good; if any,
thing. better than last year. The plant
is forming, blooming and boiling well.
The present condition of the crop is
good, and in a majority OF cases better
than last wear. Worms are reported To
have put i'm an appearance in two par
ishes, and rains during the latter part OF
the month have caused some shedding.
MISSISSIPPI.
Our Correspondence embraces ninety
three replies from twenty-nine counties,
that range from the 26th Of July 10 the
5th of August average date, 3lst tJuly.
Owing to quarantine regulations in this
State, we are deprived of reports from
several important counties. The wealth
or during the first fortnight of the
month is reported dry, but during the
latter hall oi the month copiNus, rains
have fallen. Compared with last year
the weather Is decidedly more favorable
giving planters full opportunities of
cultivating all the cotton planted, and
therefore there has been no abandon
ment OF lands. Stands are reported
good ana equal to, and in very many in
stances better than last year. The
plant is forming, blooming and boiling
well, and its present condition is good,
comparatively better than last years.
Shedding is reported in some sections,
owing to very heavy rains in the latter
part Of the month.

Hair in the Tongue.


Joseph Lepp, Swiss confectioner liv-
ing in New York, is troubled with a
strange malady. His disease is techni-
cally termed dermoid cyst of the tongue.
Lepp is a tall young man, with dark
complexion, slight build, of good adj
dress and appearance. He speaks
French, his native language, fuently
some German and little English He
says of himself: Cup to last December
had no idea that there was anything
wrong with my tongue. My use Of it
was perfect in every way, and my sense
of taste was as good as others. There
was no apparent difference between my
tongue and that of another person. But
in December last, without any cause, so
far as | know, my tongue began to swell
and became very painful. At the Ger
man dispensary IN Eighth street, where
| went for treatment, the doctors cut it,
and it discharged freely. AT first the
doctors did not notice anything unusual.
After Il little time there was a
quantity OF hair discharged every day
from the opening in the tongue. Sew
eral hundred hairs have been discharged.
They are Of all colors- white, black, red,
brown They are of various lengths,
from half an inch to two or three inches
some straight, some curled. Sometimes
a mass OF mall lock of nair would be
taken out. 1t seemed as if the tongue
was filled with hair inside. As soon as
it heals up it commences to swell and
pain me very much. Then it has to be
cut again; after a discharge of hair, etc,
it will heal quickly, but has to be cut
again. 1t has been opened eleven times
now. 1t has been troubling me again,
and | shall have to submit to another
operation in a day or two" Lepp per-
mitted the reporter to see his tongue. 1t
was considerably larger than the normal
size of that organ. 1t was not discolored,
but resembled ball of flesh, the shape
of it causing him to speak and articulatc
in that maner peculiar to persons VINO
have no palate.
A doctor told reporter that during
the time Lepp was under treatment in
the hospital he saw him frequently.
There was question in his mind as to
the time of this growth of hair found in
Lepp's tongue There was no mistake
about the hair being genuine, for one OF
the doctors subjected it to a microscopic
test 1t was growth of real HAIR. As
to the date of growth he was not willing
to say that the hair might not have
grown recently. There might have been
hair follicies, or roots, in a dormant state
within the mans tongue which now
from some exciting cause produced a
growth of hair At any rate, it seems
hardly possible that the hair remained
inclosed within the tongue so many years
without growing. The case was unique.
He had never heard or read in the books
of case precisely identical with this
onp

am sitting 10 the twilight, with my face
against the pane,
And measuring tle shadows with an aching
heart aud brain;
They are deepening slowly, surely and the
night is coming ON.
Will some bright star light earth's pathway
when the CLEAN Of day is goncy
How memory bears me backward TO a bright
en- farcr day
When | bounded through messy wood 10
Join some child at play;
Ou hearts were free ndlnerry then, with not
"A shade OF care,
Till the waning Of the daylight brought lis
shadows on the air
remember then how aeetly through the leafy
grove sped,
That my eye might catch the home light ere
days glhnmcling light had fed
Aud minded n,t the shadows as, in all iis
splendor bright,
Through the daJ kness on ,ny pathway shone
a mothers beacon light,
I've been measuring the shadows all along
lfes gnang years
Till my eyes nre dim with weeping and my
heart Is drowned in tears;
My feet are pierced and bleeding by the thons
in life'S dark way,
And I've found my sweetes, treasures In my
clasplng turned TO clay.
For the light pf home is sadly quCnched In
deep iuneteal gloom,
The hand that led my youthful feet lies home
less in the tomb
The kindred one where soul meets soul my
worship may not own,
And amid world Of busy feet | walk the
earth alone.
LIES skies ale deepening and the clouds are
gathering thick and fast
VIII the star Oi hope shine once for me when
the rage Is oycrpasty
The burden of my soul Is borne upon the
windlcss air,
And the twittcr Of the night bird seems but
hooking my despair.
So Fm sitting ia the twilight, with my face
agant the pane,
And measuring the shadows with my aching
heart and brain:
Oh, spirit OF my mother, CLEAN upon my soul
tonight.

Asa Beans Escape.

One of the early settlers of Wilton,
Me, was thoroughly convinced that bears
are fond of "beansn The time he be-
came so sure was when bruin chased him
across a clearing and up tree. The
Lewiston Journal tells the rather laugh
able story
After making lively time through the
woods some distance, with the bear close
upon him, he began to think for some
better means of escape. He knew that
if he climbed huge tree, the bear could
climb as we'll as he. A small tree the
bear could not climb, as bears climb by
hugging their paws around the tree, and
it requires one of considerable size.
Bean accordingly determined to climb
small tree, although the bear was IN
rather close pursuit, and was liable to
have a piece of him before he could get
above her reach. He chose his tree and
went up lively, just escaping the bear,
who placed herself upon her hind legs,
with mouth wide open, jumping for him,
crashing her teeth, and showing great
deal of disappointment and rage, and
seeming determined not to give him up.
The bear, with widespread mouth,
repeatedly jumped for him, and every
time she jumped, he, though out of her
reach, went up the tree a little further.
Being anxious to get tout of the way Of the
bear, he did not notice how near the top
of the tree he was getting, nor how small
that top was
The bear continued jumping and tear
ing round, and Bean kept going little
higher, till suddenly, as he made his last
hitch upward, crack went the tree, and
he went to make nearer acquaintance
with the open mouth of the bear.
Although he was only a moment in
going down, vet he said afterward that
in that moment all the bad things he
had ever done in his life passed before
his mind.
The bear was scarcely better prepared
for this sudden turn Of affairs than was
Bean himself. Whether the bad deeds
of the bear passed through her mind or
not while Bean was crashing through the
tree-top, we are not informed. She evil
IDENTIFY thought something terrible was
about to hgppen to her, and by the time
Bean struck the ground, she, frightened
by the noise ana eommotion, took to her
heels and ran, leaving Bean TO make his
