'pr STATES of Alabama, Arkansas
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennes-
see and Texas are known as the Cotton
States, since the cultivation Of cotton alb
serbs the labor Of the husbandman in
that region Of our country. The tota
population of the ten, States in 1870 was
S,272,223. The close of the war found
them impoverished. Their property was
destroyed. We of the North next over
ran them with carpet-baggers, who stole
from them, interfered with their State
governments, oppressed them in many
ways. The inhabitants of the Cotton
States waited as patiently as they had
ought courageously, and at last regained
the control Of their own affairs, From
that time the onward march of the cot
ton belt toward the most Unprecedented
prosperity has not faltered for an instant.
The year of 1878 was prosperous one
for them, and they justly rejoiced over
the result. For the year ending on June
80, 1879, the domestic exports from the
United States amounted in value to to
tai of $7l7, 093,777 Of this vast sum
the ten cotton States, with their scanty
population, are credited with 1852, 3O4,-
$50 for their cotton alone. Over twenty
two per cent. of the value of our expor-
tations was received for u crop grown by
less thantwenty per cent. Of our popula-

An Old Gentleman's Advice,

Oh, indeed! You can lick your sis
ter at lawn-tennis, can you? Well done,
my boy! But beware of self-conceit,
and never brag. Why, / could lick
everybody at lawn.tennis or could
have done it if there'd been any
lawn-tennis to play! l was the best
cricketer, the best fencer, the best
boxer, runner, jumper, swimmer and
diver | ever came across, either at
school or college, or after; and in class
les and mathematics, 1 beat 'em all
clean out of the field! As for riding,
no one ever touched me; or dancing
either, let alone that ! was the hand
soonest man in the county, and the best
dressed for that matter, besides being
the wittiest and most popular. Ay,
and such a song as | could sing, tool
And yet, a more modest and unassum-
ing demeanor than mine it's never been
my good fortune to set eyes on, man or
boy, these four score years and ten
for Pm all that, my boy, and more,
though you'd never believe it to look at
me! Beware Of self.conceit, my boy,
and never, never brag!

Bloody Wild Man.

A correspondent at New Philadel-
phia, Ohio, relates the following re-
markly strange story: Upper Old
Town, about five miles from here, is
greatly excited over a wild man. 1t is
said that he lives entirely on blood.
Chickens, turkeys, geese and young
lambs have been found, minus their
heads, by farmers in the neighborhood,
the depredations were thought at first
to be the work of weasels and minks.
Yesterday morning, however, young
farmer named Kay heard great racket
in the barnysrd, and upon going out
found his cattle greatly excited. At the
same time he saw some person move out
from among them and disappear in the
woods. He found one Of his calves
with ears and tail cut off and nearly
dead from loss of blood. Another had
q slice taken from one of its hindquar.
tiers. The farmer is satisfied that it was
the same strange fperson who has in'
tested the neigborhood for some time
past, who just cut of the ears and tail,
and then gorged himself with the blood
of the calf. The neighbors now con-
clude that this is the same villainous
person who has been robbing their hen.
roosts by the wholesale. Efforts are
being made to capture him, and place
him in some slaughter-house, where he
belongs.

ASTRONOMERS declare that the yer.
milion.colored spot now noticeable on
on the planet Jupiter is an affection Of
the planetary body itself and not of its
atmosphere. There is no record of a
similar phenomenon having been pre-
viously observed, and the explanation
generally given is that it indicates that
some great disturbances are in progress
within the planetary substance. We
may obtain some notion of the extent
of the disturbance by noting that the
size Of the spot with reference to the
whole area Of Jupiter's surface is As
large a. the whole of Europe is with
reference to the surface Of the earth.

The Best Route

To the North and East is by way of Mem
phis and Louisville, over the Louisville and
Great Southern railroad line. From tie
principal points of Texas to Louisville it is
over one hundred and fifty miles shorter
and many hours quicker than any route via
St. Louis. 1t is also shorter and quicker to
Cincinnati and all points East. 1t is the
only route by which we can take in the great
Mammoth Gave, of Kentucky, and its
through arrangement of Pullman Palace
Sleeping Cars is unsurpassed.
Mr.. j. f. Thompson, the passenger agent,
of Dallas, solicits the patronage of the travel
ing public, and takes pleasure in answering
all correspondence, and furnishes maps, time
schedules, etc.
