His Living ON AIR and water-The
Eighteenth Day OF His Fast.
Entering on the eighteenth day OF
his fast, DR.. Tanner exhibits marked
improvement in his physical condi-
ton. From 9 o'clock Wednesday night
until noon yesterday he had swallowed
between thirty and forty ounces Of
water. His weight this morning was
1871 pounds. Allowing one pound for
his coat, he has gained four pounds
since the figure was taken on Wednes-
day.
When he came down out OF the gal
lsry to hold his levee on the main floor
Of Caledonia Hall this evening he was
looking better than he had at any time
within week. He had healthy color
and there were fewer indications Of
physical exhaustion. His face was not
90 wan and pinched as previously, and
his step was quite elastic. He had
been resting for few minutes after
having returned from a carriage ride in
Central Park, and his pulse was higher
than the normal condition on account
of the excitement attending his out
door recreation.
The watchers late tonight report that
the fasting man slept quietly most of
the time while they were on guard, his
sleep being Of that refreshing kind
which Is enjoyed by persons In health.
There were no nervous twitchings Of
the muscles and DR.. Tanner breathed
regularly. occasionally INDUCING in q
we'll developed snore. :
Two or three times he was disturbed
by nocturnal serenades from cats on the
roof Of an adjoining building, when he
arose and once remarked that if he had
any boots to spare he would throw them
at the feline disturbers of his rest. His
attendants are much encouraged at his
excellent condition.

At the Methodist camp meeting at
Chester Heights, yesterday, Rev. DR..
Rittenhouse, Of Grace Church, Phila-

dress on the theme of "Conscience. F"

truth as it is in Christ. Conscience, he
said, Is the faculty which regulates the
conduct and determines the moral
character. 1t sets forth not might but
right, and while it is the faculty Of
freedom 1t affirms obligations in view Of
our choice. In the afternoon DR.. J. T.
Eckridge spoke upon the necessity Of

Few Hints for. the season.

From the Detroit Free Pres.
Throw old bottles, oyster.cans, broken
dishes, and SO forth, into your neighbours
yard. He's no man Il he can't pass 'em
along to the next.
Borrow wheelbarrow, rake, hose,
spade, and whatever else you may want
through the summer, as soon now as you
car, ESQ as the owners will forget to whom
they are lent. A man who buys wheel
barrow when he can borrow one will never
be chief engineer Of q life insurance COM
pany.
II one OF the gate.hinges is missing, take
the other of and throw 1t away. It Is
better TO have gate on no hinge than on
one hinge, and 1t is cheaper to throw
away hinge than TO buy one.
Spring is good time TO crawl under the
house and find the missing shares, thin.
bles, butcher knives, silver spoons and
pail covers. A great many. families get
rich by hunting up things which the cat
has lugged OUT Of the house during the
winter.
The season has arrived when seven or

average dwelling house. Any man who
can kick strong enough to break a horses
legcan kick over a stove. That's the easiest
way to get 'em down. Stoye.pipe, proper.
ly made and put up, will fall when the
stove does.
Seeds should be planted in the spring.
Several years OF experience have concln.
sively proven that seeds planted in the
fall are certain to have the mumps before
January. Five dollars worth OF sunhoWer
seeds will produce shade Tor at least u
cats and an old hen. Slnhowers can't be
trained 10 climb up the side OF house;
but neither can an elephant. Therefore
by planting sunaowers you avoid planting
elephants.
Some folks take up carpets and beat
hem in the spring. Others wait until
fall and then beat the carpet stores. Ev.
cry family can take its choice, this being
! free country.
Spring Is q good time to paper rooms.
Most any one one Of the family can hang
All you need is barrel to

The fifth volume Of Theodore Martins
.Iife OF the Prince Consort" is interest
ing to Americans as confirming in detail
Thurlow Weeds favorite story Of the way
in which Prince Albert and his wife mod
ified the famous dispatch demanding the
surrender Of Mason and slidell. The ILL
ness OF Prince Albert had SO occupied the
mind Of the Queen that she had scarcely
noticed the public excitement in England
over the seiznre OF the Trent until she
received for her approval one evening the
angry dispatch OF Lord Palmerston to
Lord Lyons for our government. In the
morning, the diary says, Prince Albert
could eat no breakfast and looked very
wretched." He rose at and by o'clock
had written memorandum as follows:
WINDSOR CAsrLE. December l, 1861.
The Queen returns these important
drafts, which upon the whole she ap-
proves; but she cannot help feeling that
the main draft-that for communication
to the American governments some
what meager. She should have liked to
have seen the expression OF hope that
the American captain did not act under
instructions, or, II he did, that he misap-
pretended them; that the United States
government must be fully aware that the
British government could not allow its
flag to be insulted, and the security, OF her
mail communications to be placed in
jeopardy; and Her Majesty's government
are unwilling to believe that the United
States government intended wantonly to
put an insult upon this country, and to
add to their many distressing complica-
tons by forcing question Of dispute upon
us, and that we are therefore glad to be-
lieye that, upon full consideration Of the
circumstances OF the undoubted breach OF
international law committed, they would
spontaneously offer such redress as alone
could satisfy this country, viz, the resto-
ration OF the unfortunate passengers and
suitable apology.
This is the draft after the Queen had cor
rected some OF the Princes German
idiOms, and deity substituted Question
OF dispute" for quarrel" near the end.
She did not correct the English Of such
expressions as "she should have liked to
have SEEM" Cinstesd Of "she would have
liked to see'') but her true womanly sense
Of the propriety Of leaving way open for
the American government to retreat is
noble. She was at fault as a grammariau,
but not as Queen. When Lord Lyons
took the dispatch (which was modified
accordingly to Mr.. Seward, the latter said
that everything depended upon the
wording Of it,"-that precise wording, in
fact, which the Prince and the Queen had
suggested. 1t was thelsst time the Prince
ever touched pen to paper, and before the
American answer reached England he was
in his grave.

pRoFrrs OF CorToS CULTURE.-A South
Carolina correspondent Of the New YORK
Bvlitin, planter himself, has been in.
curing amongst his neighbors in regard
to their acreage in cotton for this year as
compared with 1870. He says that he
finds that they are planting nearly fifty
per cent more in 1850 than was grown last
wear, and adds that "from the best intor-
nation obtainable l am disposed to place
the increase in South Carolina at not less
than So per cent over that Of 1870; and tho
increase is more likely to exceed this per-
centage than fall below it." The same
causes which operate in South Carolina
are IL Ho,s all oYer the South 70 foster the
increase in the surface planted in cotton,
and this increase Is in addition to the
taking up Of new lands and the natural
extension OF cultivation in the Southwest.
Thus 1t is fair to infer that the cotton crop
for 1850 will be very large. The secret Of
this renewed stimulus to the growth Of the
great staple is that cotton cultivation is
more profitable than ever, even at present
prices. 1t is the only cash product of the
country, and practically all the crop made
is sold, 1t costs to raise, gin, bale and de-
liver the crop at the railroad about ST per
acre, and the average yield OF the South is
19l pounds per acre; that is to say, the
cost Of raising cotton is st cents per pound.
The planters have received an average oil
about III cents per pound for it delivered
asthe railroads, thus making profit Of
about 81 cents per pound on at least five
million bales Of $50 pounds each-2,25o,-
100000 pounds-or sl24.0OO,OOO clear
profit. This lisa very good business, and
it suifices to explain the constant and
rapid recuperation Of the South under its
influence and operation. Yet the exhibit
seems rather rosy.
