CORN VS.. COTTON,

In making the comparison be
tween corn aud cotton, Mr.. j. H.
Moore says, | shall take the river
bottom of the Mississippi valley, and
suppose the comparison will hold
good in all other sections, and will
take low middliog cotton as sam
pie, as that is quality we make. A
good crop for a good man that will
out in his time we'll is eight bales, or
1000 pounds, lipt cotton (she aver
age is less than 1900, bu: l will
take the largest crop.) Low mid :
ding is worth now in New Orleans
81. which is s cents net. Four thou
sand pounds of cotton at s cents will
he $500. Now the same labor that
it required to cultivate and pick this
1000 pounds of cotton will make
1000 bushels of corn, corn worth
now in New Orleans SO cents per
busheI by the car load. This corn
can be taken to New Orleans aud
mt in the elevator by bsrges for SIX
cents per busbel, and seven cents
will more than cover the cost OF
Smelling and selling, leaving a net
profit Of so cents per bushel, or
$500, making a difference of Sloo
in favor of the corn. Now if peas
were planted in the corn at the last
blowing, they would fatten one hog
to each acre, making at least 50 per
acre.
In my vicinity planters are payr
ing 81 per busheI in Marietta Sl.2ol
for corn on credit, payable out OF
the next fall crop. If cotton should
sell for seven cents net, it will re-
ouire IA 2-7 pounds Of cotton to pay
for one busheI of corn If man ex-
change his 2, 900 bushels Of corn for
cotton at these figures he will get
1920 pounds of cotton for bis crop
of corn, or about SO bales of cotton ;
in other words, we sent SO bales OF
cotton up north to pay for the corn
that one man can make. Is there
any wonder that we are as poor as q
church mouse, and Bill Arp is about
right when he says, 81 am Altered
we are nation of fools.

A Lively Subject.

There used to be a story current of a
perplexing incident in the life of John
Hunter, the celebrated surgeon, which
has a certain grim drollery about it.
One night, on receiving from Jack Ketch
a "subject" who had been hanged that
morning at Newgate-such hangings
and such subjects were very common In
those days-he perceived somehow or
other the vital spark was not quite ex-
tinct. His professional zeal was in
stantly aroused he applied all his skill
to the task, and, In short, succeeded, to
his scientific satisfaction, in restoring
the laws victim to his entire faculties
again. But his satisfaction was some
what short-lived, for the resuscitated
felon insisted upon looking to his bene-
factor for his future subsistence. He
argued that, as he had striven to bring
him, as it were, a second time into the
world, he must. be regarded in loco
PARENTS. Hunter, always q nervous
man, and by no means convinced that
he had not offended %grievously against
the laws in his little experiment., had no
alternative but to comply to the demands
Of his ungrateful patient. who was by
no means modest in his visits. After q
time, however, they ceased; but even
that brought no comfort to poor Hun
ter, who lived in perpetual terror of his
tormentor Unexpectedly popping upon
him. At last he reappeared before him
again. One fine evening another New
gate importation was brought to the
private door of the dissecting-room, and,
to his intense satisfaction, he once more
recognized the well-remembered feat
ures. Hunter used to say, with a grim
smile, that he took speedy care mot to
give him a second chance.

An Item for Young Girls.

There is a multitude of young girls
in the country and small towns who are
anxious to enter what, they think, the
paradice of New York life, and suppose
they will be all right if they can manage
to secure a place there as copyist or
book-keeper. To such, Shirley Dare adj
dresses these wise words: "Do they
know what copying and bookkeeping
means in town? They fancy a book
keeper is a young person in tasteful dress,
wearing lawn cuffs, and having early
hours with easy work on a salary of
perhaps 5000 or 81, 500 a year. The
average pay of good women book-keepers
in New York is IS a week, and not over
80 for the best, unless by favor, which
implies no improvement to a girls repu-
tation. A book-keeper can board for 81
a week, her washing cost 80 cents, and
car fare from so to 70 cents more, and
she works in a dimly lighted Office, with
gas burning half the time over her page,
till the bloom dies from her cheek and
from her spirits"

The Car Nicholas.

E. g. Greenville Murray has lately
contributed to the Swiss Times some en-
tirely personal "reminiscences of the Gear
Nicholas. Of his mental habits and tenn
permanent he says: HE was a man of
hasty temper, but very full of generous
impulses. Having on some occasions
used harsh language to n of his Colon
els, and learning that the officer had
taken the rebuke to heart, the Gar Or
dered a review, and publicly embraced
him at the head of his regiment. A kind
man, too, who could unbend at times.
One LIST of April, a lady who told me the
story herself, was surprised by her ser
want abruptly announcing the Gear. 1t
was so early in the morning that she
thought it was some joke of her sisters
in connection with the day, so she went
on slipping her tea. Presently she looked
up again, however, and saw the servant
standing aghast near the door, which
was still wide open, and behind it In cas-
que and plume was the stately figure of
the Emperor. He had come to bring
her good news of her son, who was
abroad, and had been i'll. He was not
tolerant, however, of Intentional dlsre-
spect, and had but a modified apprecia-
ton of q joke. A General, who was
Policemaster at st. Petersburg for a short
ii ne, found this out to his cost. The
&c leral was considered a very stupid
man, and was the Cars fayorite butt, SO
his MAJ ,sty was pleased n night at a
court ball to send him off in search of a
thief who had stolen a colossal statue of
Peter the Great. The Policemaster,
finding this statue in its usual place, as
any one else would have expected, fetl
mortified at the laugh raised against him,
and determined to be revenged in his
own way. Shortly afterward, therefore,
he announced to his Imperial master,
while at the theatre, that the Winter
Palace was on fire. The Gear rose has
tily to witness the confagration, and On
finding that the Policemaster had pre-
sumed to retaliate on his august self,
sent him to reflect on his indiscretion In
| Siberia. Finally, he was not a faithful
husband, but he was fond of his wife and
very Jealous. Her Majesty was quite
aware of this, and, unfortunately, very
mischievous. Whenever, therefore. she
wished to get rid of an officer that dis
pleased her, she commanded him to
dance with her, and so sure as he did so
he was sent to the Caucasus. The Cars
| personal habits were soldierly and sim
pie. He ate and drank with extreme
moderation, and he slept in his uniform
on a tent bed in his study, with only q
military cloak to cover him. He allowed
his son, the present Emperor, FAC, 600 q
month while travelling abroad; the En-.
press spent money SO lavishly that her
expenses for one night that she halted OF
Hanover exceeded FL, 900. He gave,
too, largely, but his personal wants must
have cost little indeed.

An Old Prophecy.

In 1712, Mr.. Winston, an eccentric
Millenarian divine. and astronomer, who
served as deputy to Sir Isaac Newton,
when Professor of Mathematics at CAM
bridge, predicted that q comet would
appear at noon ON Wednesday, Oct. IA,
and that the world would be destroyed
by fire on the following Friday. The
comet came, and had an extraordinary
effect. More than 100 clergymen were
reported to have waited on the primate
on the Wednesday afternoon to request
that proper prayers might be prepared,
while thousands of men, who believed
that the end of the world was coming,
married on the Thursday the women
with whom they had been living. Many
people embarked on the water, thinking
that they would be safer when the fire
came, and Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Chief
Director of the, Bank of England, issued
instructions to the fire officers to keep q
sharp lookout On the Bank of England,
on which there was a prodigious run,
presumably by those who thought that,
albeit they brought nothing into the
world, they might be able to take some.
thing out. The Captain of a Dutch shiI
in the Thames threw all his powder into
the river. Winston is only remembered
now by his translation of Josephus.

Cooking in Court.

The proceedings at the Brighton
County Court, in England, were diversi-
fed one day by an unusual incident,
namely, the cooking of some potatoes in
court by direction of the Judge. A
wholesale-potato merchant was sued for
the recovery of money which he had
been paid for potatoes which were al
legged to be of a different kind from
those ordered. The Judge, after ex-
aiming some of both samples as well
as of the potatoes supplied, felt that in
order to enable him to give q correct
Judgment in the matter it would be nee
essary to cook specimens of each. This
wa accordingly done, while other cases
were being heard. The cooked potatoes
were then produced in court and eaten,
the result being that the Judge was sat
isfed as to the quality of the condemned
potatoes, but not SO satisfied as to the
skill of the plaintiff in the art of cook.
ing. The verdict wa accordingly giver
for the defendant,
