The 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
8, ,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 h2a
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 a 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 S717, ,O93,777. OF this vast sum
the ten cotton States, with their scanty
population, are credited with 1852, ,3O4,-
25O for their cotton alone. Over twenty
two. per cent. of the value of our exPor-
tations was received for crop grown by
less than twenty per cent. of our Popula-
tion.-Pittsburg Post.

SOME interesting experiments were
made in Menlo Park which have deter
mined Mr.. Edison to reduce the size of,
the carbon hOrse-sboes in the globes.
Two lights, which have been burning
constantly. for nearly two hundred and
fifty hours, were taken down in order to
ascertain whether they had deprecated
by combustion since first lighted. By
means of the galvanOmeter an accurate
test was made, and the result was com
pared with the original tests, No re-
ductf0n had been made-that is to say,
the amount of oxygen that had gained
admittance had been so infnitesimal that
the Combustion of the carbon could not
be measured by the finest and incest
test 1t was found, too, that by redHc-
ing the size of the carbon horse-shoes
one7third eleven lights could be genera
ted per horsepower instead Of eight. BY
increasing the resistance of the lamps
from one hundred to two hundred ohms,
Mr.. Edison finds that he can still further
increase the number of lights per horse
power. This, however, is found to IN
crease the cost, and will not he at

THE gas men say that as electricity
can not be stored like gas, the supply
is therefore precarious and may at any
time leave the city in the lurch were
electricity depended on for light ''They
say" said a reporter to the philosopher
of Menlo Park, one fatal defect is
that you have no reservoir" They
don't think about it, replied Edison.
q What is a reservoir but reserve force?
What better force can you have than
modern steam engine? I shall always
have reserve of electricity. Forty five
cities depend at this day upon modern
steam engines, with their reserve cylin-
ders, for their water supply. Reservoirs
for water are getting out of date. What
an absurdity to talk about reservoirs of
electricity Your engine is your reser-

A gloom was cast over the brightness
Of our sanctum, yesterday, when the
suaves life insurance agent glided IN

When we asked him to insure us
against loss from delinquent subscrib-

the hold on his grip sack, and backed

DYNAMITE.
The Royui Russian Explosion at ct &.
Petersburg.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1s.-The mine
exploded last evening in the basement
of the Winter palace was filed with dyna-
mite and gun cotton. The train by
which it was fired can be traced to the
cellar in the inner court, where guam
tity of fuel was stored.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 18.-The follow
ing is the official account of the explo-
sion in Winter palace: about z
O'Clock last evening an explosion oc-
Cured in the basement of the imperial
palace, under the principal guard room,
by which eight soldiers of the Finland
regiment of the guards then ON duty
were killed and forty-five injured. The
flooring of the guard room and several
gas pipes were damaged. Official in
quiry into the cause of the explosion is
proceeding.
New York, Feb. 1S.-The Herold's
Paris special says: Private dispatches
received this evening give the story of
the attempt to blow up the Winter
palace at st. Petersburg. 1t appears
when the czar is at the capital he dimes
at O'Clock Since the return of the
empress they have generally. been post
poned for half an hour AS quiet as
is the emperor's ordinary life, it has
been quieter than ever during the past
month. He had little appetite for lunch
at IL o'clock, and after staying all
morning closeted with his secretary, he
had returned at once to receive the
visits of his ministers His afternoon
drives, for which the people used to
wait in eXpectant crowds along the
quays, have been altogether abandoned.
His dinner has occupied even less time
than of old. La France asserts he hap
pened to be in the apartments of the
Princess Dolgoronky at the moment of
the explosion. 1t is well known the
empress has recently given her complete
sanction to the presence of this lady,
who is the only person at court who can
approach him, in his morose moods,
which are now his normal condition,
and which are believed to be premoni-
tions of softening of the brain. To the
czar's long stay in the princess apart
ments it is believed he owes his life, as
well as that of the imperial family.
La Patrie, however, asserts that the en-
peror was busily discussing with Prince
Alexander, of Bulgaria, the politics of
the Balkan provinces when dinner was
announced, but being deeply engrossed,
they were first aroused by terrific ex-
plosion. The czar was perfectly calm.
and an hour later sat down to dinner
beside the great gap in the floor. The
empress was asleep in her room, and
heard nothing of tile explosion. Ex-
press orders have been issued that she
be left in Ignorance of the event.
