robbed by the dead tea. and the faded flowers be thrown aside, spent and worth less.
 Our round finishes at the shed where Chinese lads, out of long sheets of lead, are gllbly making lead cases by holding them, batter-like, upon box, and then running the soldering iron along the edges. Here, Chinamen in their natal costume, beside this huge r-hogshead vat of hot water, are washing off the dust and sweat of the day. Here are piles of wood for the hot tea coppers. crates of up-river hardwood charcoal for the firing pans and firing baskets We must leave without the sight we then had of the mad deryash dance of two Chinese, who, gwen a dozen pounds of tea stems under their sandals in tray, perform about the interior periphery double shuttle, twist, and grind the enemy under the heel, that IS cooler for the spectator, the thermom- eter in the nineties, than for the per formers, from whose bodies the perspira- ton rolls into the tea stems below.
 The box factory is elsewhere. We en- ter on our homeward way. It is another old disused tea hong occupied by for eigners Tn the days when money was made; tumblcdown now and abandoned to Chinese. Inside, a few Chinese youths eating dollars worth ofrice per month, are rapidly gluing and dovetailing to- gether, by rough wholesale strokes, boxes by the score. Few nails are used, for these are handmade and can not be af- forded. What bungling "mending" the merchant will pay for, when these frail cases reach the land of rough usage and coarse nails.
 Here you see bit of thin teawood. there bit of paper gaudily daubed with cardinal colors, Q stroke or two, side marries end, the gaudy paper cover hides all joints, and the catty boxes, gay with bird, butterfly, dragon and phenix are en route to be stared at in a provincial grocers window.
 The only foreign devices we have noted in these busy establishment where in the season 800 men and women are busy from daylight to dark, are Fairbanks scales and a Canton-made fire engine. Two red tapers, stuck in the earth at the door, burn for good luck, and good luck We must wish the patient set who work here.
 Nearly 1000 pieuls this season have passed the sieves, one might say leaf at time. And so this year, of hundreds of packing houses, some in hamlets in the hills some, as Foochow, in cities ten to fifty miles from the hills. Women have carried, each her picul, up and down the mountain pathways twenty five miles a day, not complaining of their bent backs, nor once rudely jostled or insulted by foreign coolies" from outside districts who come starving their way toward the handful of work offering their only food double handful of salt in their girdle to bite at before they drink along the road. Boatmen at river marts have fought pitched battles for the tea, upon the transport of which depend ed their livelihood
 Probably all the tea leaving Foochow has been lifted up and down as much as if it had beeu carried up one side of the great pyramid and down the other a score of times Plenty of men have been ready to fight for the privilege of carry ing it; plenty of women, too, under their loads, behind their new husbands

A STILL DAY IN AUTUMN.
SARAH HELEN wHITNAS.1

SARAH HELEN wHITMAN.1 \ love to wander through the woodlands hoary K in the soft gleam of an autumnal day, ENhen summer gathers up her robes Of glory l And like dream of beauty, glides away. |uov through each loved, familiar path she ling. <. serenely smiling through the golden mist pjnting the wild grape with her dewy fingers n Till the cool emerald turns to amethyst To light the gleam of autumn's moulaering |ynh hoary plumes the clematis entwining. Where OCT the rock, her withered garlands falls. |warm lights are on the sleepy uplands waning. Beneath dark clouds along the horizon rolled, m the slant sunbea1ns through their finges Bathe all the hills in melancholy gold. The moist winds breathe of crisped leaves and
 flowers ln the damp hollows of the woodland sown, Aingling the freshness of autumnal showers
 With spicy airs from cedar alleys blown. Beside the brook and on the ambered meadow
 Where yellow fern tufts heck the faded ground Nth folded lips beneath their palmy shadow
 The gcntian mods in dewy slumber bound. Upon these soft-frlnged lids the bee sits breeding,
 Like fond lover 10th to say farewell. Or with shut wing, through silken folds intrud-
 ing,
 Creeps near her heart his drowsy tale to tell The little birds upon the hillside lonely
 Fit noiselessly along from spray to spray, Still as a sweet and wandering thought, that only,
 shows its bright wings and softly glides away The scentless flowers in the warm sunlight dream
 ing
 For to breathe their fullness of delight, And through the tranced woods soft airs arc
 streaming Still as the dew fall Of the summer night So, in my heart a sweet unwonted feeling stiH, like the wind in oceans hollow shell Through all its secret chambers softly stealing
 Yet finds no words its mystic charm to tell.

Nursing an orang-outang.

The London correspondent of the Liv- erpool Post says: ''The missing link who parts his hair down the middle, and has been for some time past on exhibition at the Westminster aquarium-namely, the orang-outang-has not escaped falling a victim to the malady which has proved fatal to so many of his kind in our eli mate The stranger caught cold, which quickly developed into severe attack of bronchitis, and on Friday night last his medical attendant held out little or no hope of the patient being able to survive the night. However, Mir. John E. Car rington, F. R. &, the naturalist of the aquarium, was determined, if possible, to save the creatures life. He sat up all night with him, steaming and doctoring him, and by morning the symptoms were so favorable that the orang-outang was declared to be out of immediate danger Since then, by dint of careful nursing the animal has been brought around and is now happily conyalescent. His patience under his suiierings was, be- iieye, above all praise, and he took Mir Carrington's hot baths with all the com placency of Maj. Pendennis."

A LOUISVILLE Republican fur
nishes the following to the Courier
Journal:
Inotice in to>day's Courier-J Journal
a special from Memphis stating that
a petition was in circulation asking
the President to give the South a
representative in the Cabinet in the
form of Hon. VIM. r. Moore. Mr..
Arthur could not select a better man
to sit in the councils of the nation
than VIM. r. Moore He is, in every
sense of the word, a representative
man of the South. The Hon. Casey
Young was supposed to be invincible,
but had to succumb to the powerful
influence of VIM. r. Moore. Mr..
Moore is no politician, but simply a
business man, and one who has won
the respect and confidence of all
who have been brought in contact
with him. He was born in Alabama
has been in business in Memphis the
past twenty years, and no man stands
above him in business or social cir,
cles to day. If Mr.. Arthur wants q
Southern man in his Cabinet, he can
not do better than to choose w. r.
Moore, the man who, in the face Of
all opposition, including two Demo
cratic daily papers, defeated the in.
vincible Casey Young.

neaely completed, in consequence of
the good weather. The yield is bet
ter than was anticipated two weeks
ago. The staple is the best known for
four years. Now that the picking is

oulyithought to be a half one, and
the worst is fifty pounds of 6nt to
acre. The farmers are in better
spirits than two weeks ago.
Georgia.-The stand of cotton in
the Atlanta section is good and the
acreage per cent. better than last
year. The quality of the staple
is excellent. Half of the crop has
been gathered.
Louisiana.-Nor rains have fallen,
and picking has gone on constantly
No damage has been done by caters
pillars. Reports from all portions
of the State are much more fatter-
ing than they were a week ago.
Since the recent rains, cotton has
taken a new growth, and many bolls
are growing and maturing. Red
River and Saint Landing report that
they will raise as large crop as last
year. In Claiborne worms are doing
some damage.
Mississippi-The gathering and
shipping Of cotton is considerably
ahead of last season. The crop is
