The story Of the man married life. as related
by himself, is probably the most remark able
one On record. He was born in Germany in
1910. When twenty-five years old--in 1870
-he married his first wife, who lived eight
years. She became the mother OF seventeen
children In that time, having twins IN the first
year OF their marriage The next year anoth.
er pair Of twins were born. Each succeed.
ing year for four years thereafter Mrs. Heffner
became the mother OF triplets. The seventh
year was signalized by the birth Of only one
child. Mrs. HefIner died and was laid away
IN the village church.yRrd in Germany. The
wldOwer had now family Of seventeen child.

Three months thereafter young lady took
charge Of the children, in the course Of time
she became the second Mrs. HeHner. The
first wife had died in February, Is4s. In
February, l849, this second vile presented
Mr.. Hetiner with boy. On Christmas day
OF the same year the nineteenth child was ad.
ded to the Heffner flock. The family was
now larger than any other in that part Of the
country: Five years passed on and Mr..
henner's household was increased by the ad |.
ditlon Of ten more children pair Of twins
being born every year. There was now a
lull, and for three years thereafter only one
child was born unto them. In 1854 he came
TO this country with his family, and the last
three children were born in America. In
1891 bis wife died, having been married nine
years lie was now the father Of thirty.two
children, twelve OF whom had died, leaving
twenty to be taken in charge by widow
whom he married in 1858. Mrs. Heffner No.
y had one child by previous marriage. She
became the mother OF nine more children in
ten years by single births. His last, or third
wife, is still living None Of the first set OF
seventeen children survive. Two of the Of.

A correspondent Of the Louisville (Ky..)
Courier Journal gives an interesting descrip.
ton OF visit to Cresson, n new cotton man.
uiacturing town in Mississippi, on the New
Orleans and Chicago railroad, l2j miles due
north OF New Orleans, and in the centre of a
hne cotton growing country. In 1867 the site
OF Cresson was dense pine forest now are
seen magnificent pile of buildings, three and
four stories high, capped with Mansard roofs
and modern windows. commodious ware
house, dozen stores, elegant modern villas,
and a line hotel building. The cotton factory
buildings and machinery, which cost 5000.
600, are owned by Messrs. Edward Richard.
son and VIM. Oliver. Mr.. Richardson is n
member Of the firm Of Richardson 4 Nav,
cotton factors, of New Orleans, owns ten or
twelve cotton plantations, and makes on them
annually $4,000 10 $4,000 bales of cotton.
Mr.. Richardson is the largest cotton planter
in the world, and is the cotton king Of Amer
lea, He has worked hard all his life, and is
still working. He is popular with the masses,
and especially so with his colored laborers.
He is generally believed to have accumulated
from 10000, 900 10 $40, 000, 900, all made in
the South, the poor South. Eight hundred
hands are employed in the factories, three.
tourths Of whom are women, gathered from
the surrounding country, good, faithful, in.
dusirious and intelligent. The remaining
fourth are men and boys, gathered from va
rious places, few from the North and few
from England and Scotland. who work 400
looms and $1,000 spindles. In cotton these
mills consume daily from Is to 20 bales, be-
sides an enormous quantity Of wool, obtained
mostly from Florida and the parishes Of I.ouisi-
ana on Lake Pontchartrain. The prices of the
products of these mills, are kept down to rock
bottom, and these mills being situated in the
Southern cotton belt and in the wool. produc.
ting districts, and no freights to pay on cotton,
their facilities for buying the raw material are
without doubt unsurpassed, and they can thus
undersell all others. Their savings in freight,
having TO pay none at all, amounts to seven
or eight dollars per bale. These goods find
a ready sale in all the large cities. The mills
are now running day and night, using the
Brush electric lights, making the building as
bright as day. fhe night hands are separate
and distinct from those that work in the day.
Allhands work tremendously together. There
has never been strike, nor any threats of
such thing There is no colored labor em
ployed, except five men as fremen. This la.
Dor cannot be utilized to manage the looms
andspindles. The monotonous humming and
droning of the machinery, 1t is claimed, would
invariably soothe the negro to sleep and let
the looms run wild and the spindles foul.
Hence he is not considered available as a la.
borer in cotton factories. Cresson is very
thriving town and its population orderly and
temperate. There is not a grog-shop in the
town.
