ARKANSAS AND THE souTHwEsr.

We see it stated with every appear
ance of authenticity that the cotton
crop of Arkansas for the past year
amounted to $50, 100000, or some 6OO,-
600 bales. This shows very re-
markable progress for the State since
1875, when the cotton yield was 100000
bales. The area Of this staple planted 8
years ago was estimated to be some l.
100000 acres, and is now thought to
reach / 100000 acres. The cotton lands
of Arkansas and Texas are some o. .he
very finest in the United States, and the
quality of the staple produced is unsur-
passed. Liverpool samplers pronouncing
that from the middle and southern por-
tions of the State equal to the very best
grown, Sea Island only accepted.
II is not, however, in cotton alone that
Arkansas may be claimed to excel, al
though owing TO the lack of railroad fa-
cilities in former years, the tide of popu-
latien has seemed to drift by her to
States and Territories more remote and
less desirable to the emigrant. Up to
the time of the close of the late war the
State, except along the streams that
could be reached by steamboats,, was
practically a wilderness. Since then
there have been near thousand miles Of
railroad built, the st. Louisa Iron Noun
tain crossing the State diagonally from
the Northeast to the Southwest, and the
Memphis h Little Rock; the Little Rock
& Fort Smith line crossing the State
nearly East and West; the Little Rock
& Mississippi River, and some other mi
nor roads ,....-
The active boom in railroads seems to
have begun in Arkansas about 1872, and
since 1875, when the line then begun
was extended to Texarkana, distance
Of S0l miles, the tide Of emigration has
begun to pour into the State in yearly in
creasing numbers. With quick and direct
Communication with st. Louis and Chi
cago the growth Of early fruits and vege-
tables has become an important industry
along the line of the Iron Mountain
Road. By table published in st. Louis
paper, we see it stated that something
like $4,000 boxes Of early fruit were last
year brought to that city from Arkansas
by express over this route alone, and the
growth Of these is yet in it's infancy.
Arkansas is the home of the peach, which
rarely fails there; Of the grape, of which

Muscadine often attain diameter Of

will consider their claims to recognition

The City Of New York has, from time
immemorial, been the boss place for jobs,
but Albany now comes to the front as a
pupil of the city that Tweed adorned In
auld lang syne, with promise of future
distinction. Albany, as everybody knows,
is the capital Of the great State of New
York and, as is beftting. desired an edi-
flee for the legislative wisdom of the
State to assemble in. The estimates for
a stately capitol were made and amount
ed to the sum Of $4,5OO,OO0, which the
New Workers were assured would include
everything down to the door-mats and
spittoons. This white whale has already
absorbed $4,000, 900 of the cash that the
hard-fsted yeomanry Of the State have
paid in taxes, and sanguiue people about
the edifice affect to believe that $1,0O0,-
600 more will finish up the insatiate
structure. If the thing would answer
any useful purpose except to look at and
show to strangers, the thing might be
accepted when done as the Turk accepts
fate. as the will of Allah; but people
say-malicious folks, doubtless-that
Senators and Representatives can never
hear nor be heard in the absurd rooms,
and that the architectural arrangements

obtain appropriations for and he used as

WEATHER WISDOM.

Thus far the people hereabouts who
enjoy mild winter have had nothing to
coNplain Of This, on account of the
high prices of fuel, has been very favora-
bic to all classes, but more especially to
the poor. The lessened expenses in this
one item to the population of the Ohio
Valley would figure up high in the
thousands to say nothing of the lessened
suffering to the extremely destitute.
The public are assured by the very
highest authority" that this exceptional
mildness will continue through the en-
tire season with one or two exceptions.
Professor Vernon, of Canada, who has &C
quired high reputation as a weather
wise man, a few days since forecast the
weather for the balance of the winter in
communication to the Montreal Wit
ness. He predicted two more brief
terms of severity and the time
when they would occur. The first men,
toned was to take place between the 9th
and 18th of the present month, and the
production has been realized. The next
dip the Professor prophecies will take
place about the Sth of February, and will
be the scverest of the winter, lasting
three or more days. Two more "dips" of
minor importance will close out the sea-
son. They will visit us about the end of
February and the 17th of March, re-
spectiyely. Interspersed between these
several "dips" there are likely to occur
two or three general thaws and heavy
rains, all of which is very nice to know,
