How the Country is impoverished.

The Memphis Appeal, in comment
ing on the various ways by which
the South is drained Of its money
and impoverished, makes the follow
ing statement:
The Southern planter gives a 800 pound bale
Of cotton for 4 Westerns mans hog weighing
less than 400 pounds-cotton 81, bacon l21a.
The Appeals example is entirely
correct, except that cotton, at the
gin house, does not now command
81, aud bacon cannot be bought, as
our farmers buy it, at l24 cents. 1t
would be more correct to say that
we are paying the Western man.
transportion included. 10 cents g
pound for his hog, total for his hog
$4,000, } while the Northern man gets
our bale of cotton of 400 pounds, 81
the gin house, at s cents, total for
the bale Of cotton, $1,000, )-or very
nearly two bales Of cotton for bis
hog, which has been fattened at
distilleFy from the offal OF the mash
tub.
But, let US give another example,
not thought OF, perhaps, BY the APP
peal. A man and his mule viii con-
sumo, during the year, IS bushels OF
corn. The Kinds Co. farmer Is nov
paying, as be buys it, Sl.25 per BUSH
el for this corn-total Tor 75 bushels,
at Sl.25, s9375-or very nearly
three bales Of cotton, at cents per
pound.
Here then we have il. For just
bacon, meal and corn enough 10 feed
freely one labOfer and his mule and
dog, We deliver at the gin house just
Eve bales Of cotton, worth $4,000.
Aud, 10 cap the climax, and TO drive
the argument home TO the pocket
book, not one lab0rer 10 Eve. in
Kinds county, annually produces hve
bales Of cotton
II these statements are lacts, and
we question If they will be disputed
/ by any one. is il strange that The
South is poor2 II we spend more
than We make, is it surprising that
We shonla year by year become more
| exhausted and dependent s-Hinds

evening 20 attend for the first time &

which I think ought to be encOur-
aged, and the Young ladies certainly
showed that they had capacities at
least, for high development ia this
direction. II their dishes we're not
the dQiRtiest they .were at least in
good taste and well prepared /
was glad 10 see the more substantial
element predominated
The salads thought we're especi-
ally fine, consisting Of all varie-
ties-chicken, salmon, potatoes, and
well several others which ! cannot
name. And then the fried chicken
was perfectly splendid. And by the
way, / heard several Of the young
ladies inform a young minister there
present, leach one separately and in
rather a confidential manner), that
she had prepared all Of that fried
chicken herself could not exactly
reconcile these statements but could
very well understand why each one
was desirous Of claiming it for her
self Next in order we're the Gus
tards Of various kinds, especially
tie lemon, which Think rather took
the prize Then there were cakes Of all
kinds and ice lemonade. But ] am
not 80 fond OF cake as ! am OF some
other things
Taken all together It reminded one
very forcibly OF the account in Gen
esis Of creation, where It is said that
everything was maie perfect after
its own kind.
Leaving out the ice cream think
it would have been hard to decide
which was the most attractiYe-the
ladies or the supper. But the pres
ence Of the cream decided the qaes-
tion decidedly. If there are two OBJ
jects in nature between which 1t is
hard for me to decide, they are A
beautiful young lady and tAree or
four saucers Of zoe cream. But on
that occasion Hound myself leaning
emphatically toward the cream. But
the supper was not by any means
the only attractive feature Of the
evening Regarded simply as a So
ciahle, il was a success. / have heard
It said that sociables in Okolona were
a drag This one was quite other
wise. The secret Of it's success was
one present who knew how to con-
duct such things Miss Mary Faires
proved herself quite equal TO this
task. She manifested both good
judgment and a kind heart, sacrihc-
ing her individual pleasure for that
of the company, never failing to come
to the relief of the more timid young
ladies { y Just at the critical point
where they had run out Of something
to say. { y She understands the
maxim that variety is the spice Of
life.
In conclusion would say that
am decidedly in favor of the Cooking
Club, and think If our young people
would only turn their attention more
to reading clubs, cooking clubs, So
CABLES music and such like, which
are not only Innocent, but commend
able and improving, they would con-
olude that dancing is not the only nor
the highest form of social enjoyment.

All that Mr.; Bingham has to tell of the relations
between Napoleon and Josephine Is deeply interest
ing and he does not deal with Napoleon IN his char
aeter OF lover and husband alone, but exhibits MN
also ana above all as an inveterate matchmaker.
lie sets forth how after the divorce Napoleon pro-
posed with an air OF seriousness that the woman no
loved SO much should contract a marriage with the
Prince Oh Nurtembere, who, coming to Parls on
political business, bad been much struck by the
beauty ana the engaging manners OF the divorced
Empress. Greatly enTaged, however, would her
late husband have been had she accepted the sug-
gesteu OHer; i0r though be was no longer her nus,
band, Napoleon still visited and received her. and
st fet the influence of the spell she had cast over
him. lie granted her a sumptuous allowance, and
there was no sureT way OF pleasing hln than py
treating her with respect. She appreciated the
attentions paid to her by the great percentages who
they visited her that this only means OF pay
ing court to Napoleon. Besides deIIghtmg in her
conversation, which did not necessarily Imply gooa
opinion OF her intellect, he attributed to her hlgn
mental qualities. Thinking meanly as a RUE, OF
the talent OF women he considered Josephine
quite equal to the work of government. Apart
from atalIs of the heart, she was, indeed as true
as steel lie could trust her with anything he said,
except money; AID he declared that there was no
Ministerial post she was not fit for but that OF
Finance mister AS it was, she ordered boDnets
at the rate OF thirty eight a month, had troops of
milIners waiting upon her. and once ran into debt
to the extent OF 100000 francs Napoleon paid the
bills, and begged Josephine, who was in tears, not
10 veX herself any more about the matter. But he
lost his temper with the chief of the mners who
on one occasion were found blOckadng the entrance
to his wies room and sent her to pass some hours
indeed, an entire night-at the prison of La Force
