When a stranger comes into New
Orleans during the cotton picking sea-
son, he will notice here and there on
the streets and leyees, among the drays
loaded with cotton bales, a dray with
high sd ngs. somewhat like those used
by charc ,al haulers at the IRON furnaces
of the North. They are cotton-seed
wagons. The seed, when haulea TO
the mills. is covered with short lint
which the cotton gin cannot take of.
rs the SAWS are not close enough to-
gether. The seed is first put in a
screen of cy iind:ical form and the dust
sifted out; then il is winnowed or
famed against screen. so that dirt
and heavy substances fail from it. The
close-set gins are then used To scrape
the lint from tae seed. The seed then
goes into cylinder containing twenty
four cylindrical knives. and as this
cylinder reyolyes the seed is cut up
very fine, after which the bulls are sep
araied from the meal. The meal is
pressed between rollers and put in
wooden bags. which are placed between
horsehajr mats having leather backs
futed inside so that the oil can escape
easily when the meal is put in the
press.

Sky.Larks in New Jersey.

On the lst of May, Henry Hales lib
Grated at Ridgewood, Bergen County,
n. j., seventy-four of the sky-larks i'm
ported by l. w. England, and reports
the entire success OF the experiment.
After a few days enjoyment of the
sweets OF liberty the birds set about
housekeeping. They stole away by
pairs in the fields and began nest-build-
ing. The males became more and more
vocal, and scared aloft above their set
Ting mates and poured forth their
sweetest strains. The nests. hidden in
the grass or grain, were not easily dis
covered. but some of them were found.
They contained four or five freckled
eggs OF Il greenish-gray cast. Like
other nests placed on the ground. some
of them have been visited by cats or
other predatory animals, but in other
cases the eggs have gone safely through
the process OF incubation, and the
Young larks real American-born sky
larks-have appeared. There is no
question that TIE Youngsters will take
care OF themselves, and, barring acct
dents common To all bindings, reach
maturity. -HaekenSact Republican.

A Florida Duel.

A letter received by a young man in
this city from a lady who resides in
Campbellton, Fla. a little town near
the seacoast, contains an account of
duel fought between two young men
near that place. which was attended by
a great amount of shooting and very
OF the duel is AS follows:
just how the quarrel originated be-
tween them rs 4 profound mystery, but
the fuss ,irst commenced at q picnic, and
is supposed 10 have been about some
trivial remark which was made by one
of the young men and taken up by the
other. A rather lengthy quarrel ensued
at the picnic ground; both young men
were held apart by their friends and
allowed to expend their wrath but in
words.
The matter was settled for that day,
but of course insults had been given
that could only be washed out by gore,
and as soon as one OF the young men
got home he wrote out n challenge and
handed il to a friend TO deliver. The
challenge was delivered and promptly
accepted. The matter was left to two
Young men to arrange. and it was SET
tied that the duel should be fought at
an old place known as Merritt's Mill, at
twilight, the weapons to be shot-guns
loaded with buck-shot. distance to be
thirty PAGES. The young men secured
the services of a surgeon and also in
yited several friends to witness the
sport as they intended to load the guns
with only a charge of powder in the
first round. aud the next TO load with
popcorn. The place selected was in
large clearing in the middle of a large,
beautiful cluster OF magnolias.
About sun set one of the seconds ac-
companied by his principal, surgeon
and a shotgun. arrived in the middle
of the grove, and in few moments the
other side of the party arrived. The
ground was measured of, the arrange
ments for firing made. and Just as the
sun was setting through the trees the
two men with blood-thirsty designs
were placed opposite each other at the
distance of thirty PAGES, each with, as
he supposed. a loaded shotgun il his
hands Ii was arranged that one of the
scorers should stand at a point where
bOth men coulu see MIN. ana AT the
proper moment drop handkerchief,
which was the signal TO lire. At the
given signal both men fired, and when
the smoke cleared away discovered that
both were standing.
This was . mystery 10 both of them
and they determined to lessen the dis
lance 10 fifteen PAGES; the seconds
agreed TO this. and they were placed tif-
teen PAGES nearer to each other. The
seconds then retired TO alittle distance to
load the guns, and IN few minutes
placed them in the hands of the men.
both heavily loaded with popcorn
The second fire turned out more Sc
riogs than the other, and cost one of
the men an eye, and both of them a
great deal of pain. The distance was
SO short that the corn was carr ed with
terrible force. and nearly the full
charges struck both men. One of
them was strucS in the face and one of
his ewes totally destroyed. The effect
can be imagined, il the guns had been
loaded with bnckshot. rs they in
tended. -Louiscalis Coarier-JoUraal.

The meal is subjected to a hydraulic
pressure of 1876 tons. The bags are eft
in press seventeen minutes. The oil
runs off and the meal is pressed into .
solid cake oil cake, of which l shall
speak further on. The oil is pumped
into a room. called the oil-room, and
either barreled in crude state or re-
fined. 1t is refined by treating it with
caustic soda. In re ming the deposit
falls to the bottom, and the refined oil
amounts to about eighty-two per cent.
of the crude.
The first product derived from this
process is the lint, which amounts to
about per cent. of a crop that is, the
country gin takes % per cent. OF the
crop. and the seed retains ) per cent,
which the mills secure. The cotton is
very white and clean. but very short.
and the best OF it sells for eight cents
per pound 1t is used 10 make cotton
batting. The crop. of the oil mills
amounted to 5000 bales last year.
Second-The bulls constitute about
one-half of the seed. They are used
for fuel to run the mill, and thus the
mills do not need TO buy any coal.
The ashes make a valuable fertilizer.
and they are also leached for the pur-
pose of obtaining lye TO make soap.
Thirj-The oil amounts to about
5000, 900 gallons in the United States,
and about l0.000.0O0 gallons are yearly
exported to Europe, where it is used TO
adulterate olive oil. Three gallons of
cotton-seed oil. and one of olive oil. make
four gallons of the average olive oil.
and the cotton oil can hardly be de-
tected
The question naturally arises, II we
have to eat olive oil which is made from
cotton seed. would it not be well Tor
home manufacturers TO prepare ii. and
not allow the consumer to pay two
freighis across the Atlantic?
Fourth The oil cake is of a rich yel-
low color, and is used principally to
feed stock. for which use it is ground
and fed like corn meal. 1t is shipped
in sacks, each weighing POO pounds.
Fifth-The deposit left when the oil
is refined is used to make soap. and
also for making dyes. Thus nothing is
lost. and the cotton plant takes its
place as the most wonderful production
of our country. There are in the coun-
try now iifty-six cotton seed oil mills.
of which Louisiana has nine. Six of
them are in this city. Mississippi has
nine. Tennessee and Texas each eight,
Arkansas four. Missouri and Alabama
each two and Georgia one. The amount
of seed used is about 40, 900 tons year
w. The city mills used about 1910
tons last year. which cost them more
than Sl.000,000.
Last year, on account OF cotton
seed war, the price went up to Sl1 per
ton. but now an association has been
formed and the price is regulated Dy
the law of supply and demand The
industry is growing. but it is said that
the Standard Oil Company has its hand
in it, and if such is the fact the cotton
planters and mill owners will ind troub-
lie ere long. Cor. " y. fua.

On the 18th the wounded President
suddenly became worse. The wound
seemed to be doing well. but the trouble
which was new one, was with his
. stomach. He became very sick, pulse
went up to l30,yomited frequently
during the day and evening, when it
was checked, and his stomach retained
small quantities of light nourishment.
This trouble is attributed to the fact
that he is very weak, and has been for
years somewhat subject to symptoms
of dyspepsia. The doctors were much
alarmed at the turn in their patients
case. but believing they have control
of that phase of the stomach difficulty,
again issue cheering words to the peo-
pie MANY. and amongst them some
eminent medical men, have given up
all hope of the Presidents recovery.
That he is very sick man and so en-
feebled that he may die at any moment
is very evident.
LATER Our latest news from the
White House is 4 80 p. H., 10th. At
that hour he was still very bad, having
had during the day recurrence Of
retching and vomiting. Dr. Bliss says
the wound is healing AL right, is in 4
healthy condition, and that his stom-
ach is the whole trouble. as it will re-
tain no nOurishment, without which
he can survive, in his weak condition,
but a short time. Nourishment is adj
ministered by injections. Bliss said,
IF the retching continues and the pulse
shows no mending, the public should
understand that the end is probably
near" Sadness and dependency reigns
in the executive mansion, and pail of
sorrow overshadOws The nation.

"A Citizen" asks elsewhere in our
columns this week why The city
marshal neglects toarrest those in the
city who are selling liquor without
license? We may answer this inquiry
by saying that it is the marshal's
special duty to act under city authori-
ty, and rs there is no ordinance regI-
lating the liquor traffic under the law,
there is no violation of city law. 1t il
possible however that the state lar is
being violated. and had Citizen referred
to the sheriff or any officer whose duty
1t is to see State laws enforced, he
would have come near the mark. The
marshal, however, has power, we be-
lleve. to serve papers and make arrests
FOR the State. and we doubt not that
either he or the sheriff would promptly
make arrests upon warrants placed in
their hands.

Henry. Isaac Clark was arrested for
firing off the gun that made brother
Henry take to the brush but upon eX-
animation before justice was dis
charged. The meagre testimony pub
lished make it appear that while the
Ed was helping Mrs. Robbins milk
the cow Jesse James or Guteau-
there is doubt rs to which it was
event for him with a gun, that the
lady, who was we presume also help
ing brother Henry milk, was told by
the grim assassin to stand over, so he
could draw a bead Oh the preacher,
that when she got oHt of the way he
let drive ut the man Of God, that the
latter broke for the brush and escaped
unscathed. What it was all about is
not stated, which utterly spells the
story aud fails to supply a long felt
