active, and there were no complaints on the
part of any of our merchants either in the
wholesale or retail lines ola want of trade.
While II is true our receipts of cotton nre

great measure by the heavy receipts at rail.

years, were marketed in this city. This.
however, does not detract from the trade
of Dallas, for cotton now in nearly every
town in North Texas is sold for cash, and
when planters purchase their supplies Il is
an exception when they do not come to this
city to lay them IN.

IT is said that the cotton mills in thiscoun.
try and Europe are now pretty well sup
piled with raw cotton, enough to keep them
employed for some time, and that they will
send out no orders soon unless they can be
filed at prices satisfactory to themselves.
And this would seem to be true, for our
buyers here claim that prices are above the
views of spinners and that they can fill no
orders now being received at present figures
lit be true that spinners have q supply on
hand to run them through until aher the
new year and cotton continues to arrive In
large quantities at all the ports, the demand
may not prove as active us
many anticipate, and Il will be
difficult TO maintain present prices. II is
asserted however, that the crop is being
marketed very rapidly, and after q few
weeks at hirthest the receipts will fall off
below those of the last two years. There Is
an uncertainty about the crop this year
which will encourage speculation, and as
cotton. Is now being manipulated by Wall
street brokers, Il depends alone upon their
interests and actions whether Il will adj
vance or decline In price. All the reports
20 10 show that the crop Is below an aver
| age, but the increased acreage and favorable
weather for picking may bring the total re.
! ceipts far above the estimates, and the sup.
ply may prove equal TO the demand.

He Put His Arms Around Her.

The other day several men were stand
ing on the street corner, talking, when q
handsomely dressed lady passed.
"You may not believe me-" said man
named Spriggins, "but have had my
arm around that lady"
''You are vile slanderer, SIR" ex-
claimed young Mr.. Paperage, and draw
ing off he struck Mr.. Spriggins a heavy
blow between the eyes. Both parties
were instantly arrested, and when Mr..
Spriggins requested that the lady be
summoned, policeman caught up with
her and requested her presence in court,
which had just convened in afternoon
session.
"Judge," said Paperage, "while sew
eral acquaintances and myself we're
standing on the street talking, this lady
passed. Then this man (pointing to
Spriggins) remarked that he had put his
arm around her. The lady is nothing to
me, Judge, but my mother was . lady,
and my sisters are ladies, and have al

who speaks i'll of lady"
'Mr. Spriggins," remarked the Judge.
"did you say you had put your arm
around the lady?"
Eyes, SIR"
"Then the gentleman did tight in
striking you. Ladies are not safe in Lit
tie Rock so long as such ruffians are al
lowed to insult them.
Judge, allow the lady to speak," re
quested Spriggins.
Certainly, you will please make your

A CLEVER DOCTOR.

About twenty years ago the Honorable
and Reverend Edward Lambert, a cler-
gyman of the Church of England, found
that his health was growing infrm. o
moral and physical languor seemed to
take possession OF him; that English
melancholy which comes, no one knows
why or wherefore, and he could not
shake it off. Young, rich, handsome,
eloquent, sure of preferment in the
Church-what was the matter with the
Honorable and Reverend Edward Lam
bert?
He did what all other Englishmen do
when other remedies fai-he crossed the
channel.
He thought he would seek the rays of
the sun, that luminary, SO scarce in Eng
land. Perhaps it was the sun that he
needed.
So one fine day he sailed for France,
and soon found himself at Rouen, where
he stayed for some days, taking every
morning a walk around the Cathedral,
carrying a volume of Dante under his
arm.
One afternoon he walked up the Mont
St, Catherine, and seating himself on the
grass, gravely devoted himself to the
Divine Comedy. He had scarcely lost
himself in Dautes stately measure when
a stranger approached and with the most
perfect courtesy, addressed him, asking
if he were an Englishman, and, if so, il
he would permit q few minutes con-
versation.
81 wish to perfect myself in your Ian
gusge," said the stranger, smiling, "and
always seize every opportunity to talk
TO An Englishman.
''You already speak the language
fiuently," said Mr.. Lembert, politely;
''sit down, Monsieur"
Resting on the turf, with a glorious
view before them, the two young men
soon found themselves talking ghbly of
the news Of the day, of Dante, of re-
ligion, politics and the weather. The
Frenchman was very agreeable, we'll
educated and up to the times on all
points: he Immediately told Mr.. Lam
bert that he was Q doctor and practicing
his profession at Rouen.
1t was natural that the young clergy
man should speak to him Of his own
case, which he did freely, asking the
doctors advice.
The doctor became extremely inter
ested, and, upon examining Mr.. LAM
berts tongue and pulse, gave him q pre-
scription.
They walked together at Rouen, and
ur. Lambert then noticed that the doc
Tor had beautiful white dog, q pointer,
which gamboled around his master
heels.
They separated As they reached the
city, the doctor to go and see his
patients, the clergyman to seek An apoth-
ecary, where he got his prescription pre-
pared.

Reverend Mr.. Lambert VS. better. The

Earthquakes In Switzerland.

An earthquake was felt over consid-
cradle area Of Switzerland on the 9th
ult. The principal shock occurred at
300 in the afternoon, Berne mean
time. A slight shock was observed
at 3 o'clock the same day, and an
other equally slight shock at 6 the fol-
lowing Friday morning.
According to report of the Berne
Observatory the first and principal
shock was in the direction from east
to west, with q slight northerly devia-
ton. The oscillation was both verti-
cal and lateral, and, according to some
accounts, was preceded by q rumbling
subterraneon sound. It's intensity may
be judged from the facts that the
chimes in the church clocks were made
to strike and the bells to toll, books
were thrown from their shelves, and
pictures detached from the walls, while
in Berne alone more than 100 chin
neys were thrown down. This is the
twenty-fourth earthquake that has been
recorded in Switzerland since Novem-
Der, 1879, and il probably the most
severe.
