OUEENswARE.
A NEW NAP OF TENNESSEE.

Col. J. B. Killebrew, State commits
sioner of the bureau of agriculture,
statistics, mines and immigration, has,
after several years of patient labor,
perfected a map of Tennessee which
will be monument to his genius,
skill and industry long after he has
passed away. In this work he has
had the best facilities-the benefit Of
all former surveys and maps, compe-
tent assistants in his office, and the
suggestions of the members Of
two successive legislatures who
inspected the progress of the map
from time to time. 1t is about six
feet by four and spiendidly mounted
on rollers. Such a map will be inval
liable to the merchant, the farmer, the
banker, lawyer, journalist, teacher, and
in fact to all intelligent classes. 1t
contains more valuable information in
regard to the soil, rivers, and produc-
tions, taxable property, streams and
beds Of ore, population, manufactures
and railroads, county roads, projected
roads and mineral springs, postofhces,
depots and railroad stations, express
offices and mountains. and money order
offices and the affairs and condition Of
the State generally than we have ever
seen condensed into such a small
space. In this way the commissioner
presents to the people all in one, a
geographic, geologic, topographic, rail
road, geodetic and economic map of
the State. 1t is a triumph Of pains
taking industry and Of the lithograph-
ic art. On the opposite side there is
a complete railroad map of the United
States and Canada and much valuable
information conveniently arranged.
A feature of the map is an ipgenius
device which enables any one, by the
aid of a tape with numbers and letters
on it, to find any given place in the
State at a glance, Only a limited
number of these large maps
have been issued. A few can be had,
we understand, for three dollars each.
This map has been litogrsphed on a
reduced scale and in large numbers to
be used by Colonel Killibrew in
Europe to induce emigration. He
has gone or will go shortly to Europe,
and expects to spend some months in
the rural districts of France and
Switzerland and by his personal efforts
to direct large stream of immigra-
tiyn toward Tennessee, especially West
Tennessee. Colonel Killibrew is one
of the most faithful and efficient pub
lie men in the employment Of the
State, and has rendered invaluable
services at the head Of the agricul-
turll bureau.

ROUGH COTTON HANDLING.
Over Sixty Thousand Bales now Exposed
to the Elements.

Great complaint is heard among
cotton buyers regarding the manner
that cotton has been cared for here
during the present season. A buyer
was heard to remark to-day that when
he gets an order for 800 bales he is
compelled to purchase nearly 1000
bales, so that he can select enough in
good order to make up his list. An
other buyer declares that out Of 1900
bales he has purchased within a
few weeks past, he would have been
glad to forego his entire commissions
rather than have it on hand in its
present wet, and, in many cases, rot
ten condition. The immense quantity
of cotton stored on the public streets,
three and four tiers in height, and
unprotected from rain, is source of
constant remark among those familiar
with the staple and the necessity for its
better care. 1t is estimated that at
least 10000 bales of cotton now in our
market is not under cover,
and has been exposed to storm and
rain until the bagging is in
many cases bleached white, while per-
sons passing cotton storage places can
plainly smell the rotting staple. Many
Of our buyers report that their Gus
toners are withdrawing their orders
owing to the wet, muddy and unsatis-
factory state in which their previous
purchases reached them. The buyers
declare they would willingly contri-
butte literally towards erecting sheds
within the broad square areas OF un-
covered warehouses, so that cotton
piled there might be sheltered from
storms. There is no reason why
exertions should not be made to pro-
vide better storage facilities for cotton
in this market. Cotton ought to be
protected as we'll as coffee or sugar.
Unless it be baled in good order and
kept in dry, merchantable condition
it will initiate against the interests Of
the planters and the merchants Of this
vicinity. More and better shed room
is needed and should be provided
; The cotton trade will suffer unless the
staple is less carelessly cared for.
