to s, PIG, 900. This increase was main
ly in Arkansas and Texas. the crop of
the former state swelling from Ill, ,000.-
600 pounds in 1870 to Sl8. 900. 900 in
1878 and that of the latter State from
ISL, 900, 600 in 1870 to nearly SOC, ,000. 900
in 1873. According to the writer Al
ready cited, only about nine per cent.
of our entire grain crop Is exported, in
cluding 24.76 per cent. Of the wheat
and 6. 49 per cent. of the corn produced.
The exports have rapidly increased In
the past few years and are likely TO IN
crease in the future, especially II the
cost of transportation shall be reduced.
Thus, the total exports OF all cereals
increased from $4,000, 900 bushels In
1868 to 1S9, 100000 in 1873. About
three per cent. of the national product
was exported in 1863, and nearly eleven
per cent. in 1873. In addition to this,
the expectation Of live stock, into
which corn enters more or less, has in
creased tenfold within the past two
years.

The Increase In the Products Of Core
ais During the Last Fifteen Years.

A writer in the International ReUieD,
says that in fifteen years the production
of wheat and barley in the United States
has trebled, corn, cotton and tobacco
more than doubled, oats increased near
ly 14O, 600, 900 bushels, potatoes nearly
doubled and hay increased more than
one-third. He gives the figures for the
chief crops in 1865 and 1859 according
to which the production Of wheat has
increased from 14S, ,553, 600 bushels in
the former year to 447, 757 900 in the
latter; corn, from 704. Az, 900 to 1,544,-
899, 900; oats, from 225, ,252, 600 to 364,-
253, 900; rye, from 1854, 900 to ~, ,646,-
600; barley, from IL, ,291, 900 to 40,-
1900; potatoes, from 104, 632, 900
TO 181, 369, 900; hay, from 1885,
COO tons to 35,64S, 900; tobacco from
1874, 81, 900 pounds to 384, ,O59, 900 and
cotton from 2. 223, 600 bales to 8, O20, 600.
The remarkable increase in the produc-
ton of cereals has been largely owing
to the settlement and development of
the Western and Northwestern States.
Within the present generation the GEN.
ter of corn production has shifted from
the South to the West, and of wheat
production from the Middle States to
the far West. In 1849, so per cent,
and in 1859, 50 per cent. of the corn
crop of the country was produced in the
Southern States. In 1877, 859. 900, 900
bushels were grown in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska, while the production of all
the rest of the Union amounted to 1884,
55S, 900 bushels. The increase of the
tobacco crop has been chiefly in the
South, where the production increased
100, 900. 600 pounds from 1870 to 1878.
During the same period the yield of
cotton increased from 5,O12, 900 bales

Fig.Leaves and Finery.

It is as natural for woman to love
finery as it is for bird to plume itself,
for the rose-bush to garland its branches
with blossoms; in fact, even man has
his little prejudices in favor, not only of
the best-dressed woman, but of the best
linen and broadcloth that the market
affords. together with fair amount of
these little adornments which taste or
custom allows. The tattooing of the
savage is an establishment of the per-
son which we believe is common to both
sexes; and though Eve was the first to
invent the art Of dress, we have never
observed that her sons permitted them
selves to be out stripped by her daugh-
ters in taking advantage of her happy
thought. 1t is not only because fine
feathers increase her comeliness that
woman dotes upon them, though even
that might be considered reason suffi-
GENTLY good aud innocent to account
for the prediction, since it is the duty
of each of us to make the most of what
ever charms we may possess, and it is
undeniable that q plain person well
dressed has the advantage of her pretty
friend who has paid no attention to the
subject, while experience teaches us,
perhaps, that beauty when unadorned is
often unrecognized; but there is poe
try about fig-leaves to which the femi-
nine mind is peculiarly susceptible;
the colors and designs of brocades sug-
gest beautiful images; the India shawl
touches her fancy like the wand of the
necromancer, and puts her en- rapport
with the splendors of the East; the
simmer of satin, the flash of jewels,
the tracery of lace, satisfy the imagina-
ton in a measure, like fine pictures or
statuary, like flow of music, or the easy
postures of the dancer. There is al
most always a sound reason for the
popularity of anything and the univer-
sal admiration of elegant apparel is no
exception to the rule; fundamental
necessity of everybody's nature can
only be reached by the ministrations of
beauty and since the majority of US can
not always secure it to ourselves in its
highest forms, we are pleased to fall
back upon the most easily accessible.
In the meantime it is not necessary that
a regard for fine feathers should offend
against simplicity or economy, or absorb
the leisure that might be devoted to
better objects; doubtless she who wears
the finest of them gives less thought
and time to the arrangement than one
who must plan and toll to attain her
desire; and they assume more impor-
tance and occupy her mind more con-
stantly in proportion to the difficulty
she experiences in procuring them, as
the rose we can not reach is most to be
coveted, and the pleasure denied is
that which wears a halo and dwells
most in our minds.-Harper' Bds1r.

The Great Comet els Returning

Prof. Benjamin Pierce, the
emin4 Mt astronomer of Hazard
Univers ty, writes to state his
conviction that the comet lately
seen by Prof. Gould at Cordova
observatory. South America is
the great comet Of lS43. in some
respects the most interesting and
wonderful of any Of the orbits
which are known. This comet
is supposed to have an average
period Of 81 years. Its first APP
appearance is noted in the chron-
icles. of tile Chinese astronomers
ITO years befors Christ. Its
last appearance was in 1913,
when it's splendor and long CON
:iuued visibility made it very
noticeable. Among its recorded
returns those of 1902, 1866, Isl l
and 1881 are recol!ected.

The Massachusetts Convention
is evidently going to be strong
against Grant and against Blaine.
It must give that sentiment some
expression-positive or mega
lively. A thousand Repuhli-
cans are not going to Worcester
to be gagged. Thrust say that
it is against them, or else that
it prefers Edmnnds. To do the
former is to provoke a quarrel
and discord. To speak fol- Ed
munds on the other hand, is to
voice the popular will, to give
leadership to Massachusetts and
to invite the Republican party OF

few words my preference for the
Hon. Chas. j. Boatuer. This

pie. However, as Senator from

Mr.. Boatuer was a leader, aud

legislature. ..-...:.- ~.

His fitness for the position has

ner weIi-his capacity, his tact,
his accuracy of Information, his
sure judgment, his ripe expe-
rience, his analysis of motives,
measures and men. He is clear
and comprehensive in his reas-
ooing, practical in his purposes,
persuasive and impressive in his
speeches.
I haye little to do with poll
tics, except % work for my party;
and for the honor of this party
aud the district I would like to
see Mr.. Boatner supported by
! Morehouse. He is the ablest
man we can command. Withou,

to Congress he will prove the
peer of any man that ever went
there from Louisiana. We want

Roasted to Death by the sun.

DR.. Schweinfurth, in q lecture
which he recently delivered at
the Berlin Geographical Society
on the subject of his latest ez-
plorations On Central Africa,
gives his hearers a thrilling ac-
count Of the mode in which capt.
tai punishment is inflicted upon
criminals by the Al-Quadjis, a
small tributary off shoot of the
great and powerful Dejour peo-
pie. The malefactor condemned
to die is tied to a post firmly
driven into the ground in some
open place where no trees afford
a shade, and is there slowly
roasted to death-not by an ar
tifcial means involving waste
of fuel, but by the, natural heat OF
the suns rays, as they reach out
earth in its equatorial regions.
To protract his suffering and to
avert his too speedy end by sun
stroke, the ingenious A'-Quadjis
cover their erring compa riot's
head with fresh green leaves,
which efectually shield his brain
from Phoebus darts. No such
protection is, however, accorded
to his body, which gradually
shrinks together, and ultimately
becomes carbonized. One chance
Of salvation is open to the roast
ing man, while as yet he is no.

We, the undersigned, who have had
wells made by Mr.. Curtis are satisfied
they are the best wells now in use, if
bricked with good brick and mortar.
They are everlasting wells, cutting off
all seap water, and if we wanted a per-
manent we'll would prefer this to any
other, and consider they would be
cheaper than recurbing an old well. We
have been using said wells from one to
six years and are perfectly satisfied with
