An official prospectus of the International
Cotton Exposition at the Atlantic has been
issued by the director-general, Mr.. H. 1. KIM
ball. 1t will open October 5th, and close De-
cember 31st, and, from all present Indications,
will be complete success. In the language of
the prospectus, the Exposition, being the first
worlds fair ever held in the south, very proper
ly derives its title from the leading southern
product-the staple which forms the nucleous
of the widest range of southern industry-but
its scope is by no means confined to cotton and
it's analogous interests. The classification, COM
prising six departments and forty-one groups,
is designed to include in the most satisfactory
manner possible the prominent branches of in
dustry, without diminishing in any degree the
pre-eminence of cotton and its accessories. The
north proposes to secure due representation in
the Exposition and share of the benefits to be
derived therefrom and there will be a universal
hope that this first great display Of southern in
dustry may contribute largely to the growing
prosperity of the south, and to q closer and
more fraternal relation between the two Sec
tiOns.

A Younu Mans Horrible Fate.

One of themost cruel and bloodthirsty
affairs we have ever heard of has come
to our notice recently, the perpetrator
being passenger conductor on one of
the roads leading out of the city. Going
through his train one morning he came
across young man daintily arrayed and
conscious of his dignity in that he sup
ported a we'll waxed and carefully culti-
vated mustache. On the usual demand
for ticket being haughtily disregarded,
the blood of the conductor was aroused,
and with fire in his eye he grabbed for
that mustache, and while cry of horror
went up from the passengers who wit
messed the transaction, the youngman as
thoroughly free from capillaries on his
upper lip as the day he toddled at his
mothers knee, got u,,, and with head
hung and pain depicted on every
ineannent, rushed for the baggage car;
the conductor coolly pocketed the mus
tache and went on, softly saying to him
self that touching refrain from Mark
Twain: "Punch, punch, punch with
care"

A NOVEL form of landlordism has been intro
duced in Iowa. A company of English capital
lists have purchased 10000 acres of land, d.
vided it into farms of 100 acres each, and estab-
lished upon it a colony of tenants from Eng
land. Each 160 acres is let, as rule, to one
tenant, who provides labor and machinery.
paying rent for wheat lands in kind. on the
half-share system, and for corn lands at about
So per acre. The tenants own labor, with one
assistant, usually son, is enough, except at
harvest time, to cultivate 16o acres, if divided
between wheat and indian corn. Thus laborers
are directly interested in the yield. Every
forty farms. Or thereabouts, are placed under
the superintendent of steward, who is re-
sponsible directly to the company.

Does the young man who persists in
being loafer ever reflect how much
less it would cost to be q decent, re-
spectacle man? Does he imagine that
loaferism is more economical than
gentiity? Anybody can be a gentle
man, if he chooses to be, without much
cost, but it is mighty expensive being
loater. It costs time, in the first place,
days, weeks, and months of it; in fact,
about all the time he has, for no man
can be q frst-class loafer without de-
voting his whole time to it. The occu-
patton, well followed, hardly affords time
for eating, sleeping, drive had almost
said drinking, but on reflection, we will
except that. The loafer finds time to
drink whenever invited, at the cost of
friends. Once fully embarked on the
sea of loaferdom and you bid farewell
to every friendly sail that sails under an
honest legitimate flag. Your consorts
will only be the buccaneers of society.
It costs, money, for, though the loafer
may not earn a cent or have one for
months, the time lost might have pro-
duced bin much money, if devoted to
industry instead of sloth. It costs health,
vigor, comfort, all the true pleasures of
living, honor, dignity, self-respect, and
the respect of the world when living, and
finally all right of consideration when
dead. Be gentlemen, then; it is far
cheaper,

The bishop of London has expressed some
misgivings as to the effect of the revised New
Testament on young clergymen and other in
discreet and ignorant persons. The bishop
warns them that is not yet permissible to use or
even to criticise the new version. Not until the
Old Testament has been revised will the New
Testament revision be before the church for
consideration, and not until the whole work has
been approved of by the clergy and ]aity will it
be ripe for authorization, and not until the
proper authority has been ascertained-apd the
bishop does not seem to be at all certain about
twill that authorization be given. In the
meantime the bishop deprecates any invidious
comparison between the new and the old ver-
SiOns.

West India Mice.
[From the Baltimore SUM-

Messrs. E. F. Schwartz & Co., of No.
1923 West Lombard street, have at their
store couple of curiosities which, for
want of more proper name, have been
dubbed West Indian mice. They we're
captured in bunch of bananas which
had been received in cargo from
Jamaica. and were first observed running
among the fruit. On closer examination
nest similar to those built by birds was
discovered in the center of the bunch,
and seated in it was an animal resemb-
ling a mouse, though differing from it in
many respects. The young ones are
mouse-colored, with large, bright eyes
and bushy tails fully as long as their
bodies. The mother is of reddish
color, with unusually large, luminous
eyes for so small an animal. Her tail is
lengthy and bushy. Under her breast
is sac or pouch, similar to that of kan
garoos, in which the young ones take
refuge at the slightest approach of
danger. When at repose the mother
looks to be only as large as a young rat,
but, when walking stretches fully half
foot. The young ones sit on her tail and
are carried about. Several scientific
gentlemen viewed the little wonders, but
no one could properly classify them in
the catalogue Of animals.
