COM MERCIAL.
DALLAS. FRIDAY EVENING,
Ma, ~

May "a.
In jobb!ng lines, business ruled quiet through
the week, the movement being confined al.
most entirely to an order trade. Prices have
ruled higher for most values, and at the
cloee of the weeks buslness the
outlook was for n further
advance. Wreicheily mean weather has pre-
vailed throughout the week. Heavy rains
lave fallen at intervals, and when the sun
shone the atmot phere has been close and
ultry.

Monetary matters have ruled quiet through
out the week, with no very important features
noticeable.

Oou. Bee and Pitcher.

A bee flew into pitcher that stood
on doorstep of house in Boston. A
dog, coming along, saw the bee, and his
head went down into the pitcher after
the insect. The bee made it lively for
the dog, and he could not now withdraw
his head, and the circus began in earnest.
The dog howled fearfully and began to
plunge wildly about, and then started
on mad run down the street. The dog,
being completely blindfolded by the
pitcher, could not guide himself, but got
under the feet of stout man, and both
took roll in the gutter, and the shouts
of the man, who did not attempt to dis
guise his annoyance, were as loud as the
yells of the dog. A policeman, coming
up, broke up the pitcher and the show
at the same time.

" NEWSPAPER Talk"

The protest against the Passion Play
was newspaper talk, but it was effective
The objection to taking the Central park
for the great exhibition was mainly
newspaper talk, but the PAL K is not t
be taken. The assault upon Tweed and
his gang was mainly newspaper talk,
but it saved The city of New York from
a revolution. The ren1wn Of great
actors and artists of any kind is largely
newspaper talk, but it serves the pur-
pose. The pubic man who contemns
the newspapers despises the best means
of learning what he most needs to know
the condition and movement OF opin.
ion. What degree of influence he shall
concede to it is his own affair, and his
own sagacity must determine the rela-
tive value of various counsel.-Harpcr'S

She turned her wandering gaze toward
me. with her vague eyes that seemed
scarcely to recognize me.
Have you seen my husband?" said
she. Zone Jacob Cotterel, brakeman

Polly little woman! don't you know
me?' | gasped.
"And | thought. perhaps" she added
vacantly, "you might have met him.
It's very cold here, and-and ="
And then she tainted in my arms.
The long, long brain fever that followed
was sort of death. There was time
when they told me she never would
know me again, but, thank God, she
did. She recovered at last. And since
that night never have tasted drop of
liquor. and, please heaven, 1 never will
again. The baby, bless its dear little
heart, wasn't harmed at all. 1t Law snug
and warm on its mothers breast all the
while. But if hadn't happened to be

storm. That's how it happened. sir.

The Cotton King.

Mr.. Richardson, of Cresson, Miss, is
the largest cotton planter in the world !,
and is the cotton king of America. He
has worked hard all his life, and is still
working. He is popular with the
masses, and especially 80 with his
colored laborers. He is generally be-
lieved to have accumulated from Sl5,-
0OO,00 to $4,000 900, all made in the
South, the poor South. Eight hundre
han1s are employed in the factori es,
three. fourths of whom are women
gathered from the surrounding CO untry,
good, faithful, industrious and intelli-
gent. The remaining fourth are men
and boys. gathered from various places,
few from the North and a few from
England and Scotland, who work 400
looms and $4,000 spindles.
In cotton these mills consume daily
from eighteen to twenty bales, besides
an enormous quantity of wool obtained
mostly from the Florida parishes of
Louisiana on Lake Pontchartrain. The
prices of the products OF these mills are
kept down to rock bottom, and these
mills being situated in the southern cot
ton belt and in the wool producing dis
tricts, and no freights to pay on cotton,
their facilities for buying the raw mate
rial are without doubt unsurpassed and
they can thus undersell all others
Their savings in freight, having to pay
none at all, amounts to seven or eight
dollars per bale. These goods find a
ready sale in all the large cities.
The mills are now running day and
night. using the Brush electric lights,
making the buildings as bright as day
The night hands arr separate and distinct
from those that work in the day. All
hands work tremendously together
There has never been strike or any
threats of such thing. There is no
colored labor employed, except five men
as iremen. This labor cannot be util-
lied to manage the looms and spind les.
The monotonous humming and droning
OF the machinery, it is claimed, would
Invariably soothe the negro to sleep and
let the looms run wild and the spindles
foul. Hence he is not considered avail
able as laborer in cotton factories.
Cresson is a very thriving town, and its
population orderly and temperate. There
is not a grog shop in the town.-Louis-

Near to her house, thy lovely mellow light
Would be my ruin. If the night were da k,
