The Chief Of Police of New York says that
three.fourths of the abandoned girls in that
city were ruined by dancing. Young girls
allow men privileges in dancing for which, II
taken under any other circumstances, the men
would be reported as improper persons. It
requires neither brains, good morals nor re-
ligion to be good dancer. 1t will not mix
with religion any more than oil will mix with
water. As the love of one increases. the love
of the other decreases. How many distin-
guished Christians are eminent dancers9 As
certainly as the atmosphere around the Their

as the wind that is swelling the sail will drive

s0 A society fact of some interest Is the inten'
ton of Mrs. Mackay, wife Of the famous Cal
ifornia bonanza king Of that name, to quit
Paris, where she has been residing for a long
while past, to take up her permanent resi-
J. ,ience 10 New York. Within the past day OF
two, am informed, Mr.. Mackay has pnr-
chased the well known Stevens property, IN
Fifth avenue, not far from Central Park
The price paid for it is said to be about three.
quarters of million dollars. Mr.. Mackay is
at present with his family in France, but Is
expected to return with them TO New York
: ii, the course OF few weeks. He will stay
here but for brief period, however, new en-.
terprises in connection with the omstock
mines requiring his presence in nevada. Mrs
Mackay alleged TO have become very much
! displeas,.d with the Parisians. chiefly because
of their refusalto aecede to her patriotic wish
to have the Place del E,oie illuminated, on
the occasion Of the memorable visit OF General
Grant. The story Is that she offered to buy
out the whole peighborhood, including the
Arc do Triomphe, If the Parisians would bnt
say what they would sell il for, but as she
could not strike bargain she had TO be con-
tent to sec only her own dwelling illuminated
Its superhuous tosay that lady Of all this
wealth and force Of character will be an ac-
ceptabIe accession to New York society.

storms have prevailed accompanied with
some stiff winds. =
The planters, as q class, are busily enga

are light. Only necessity forces = few TO
seek to dispose Of their cotton. They GERS
tainly do not meet with any great encour.

transportation, possibly of ready means5s''
lead buyers to decline paying cash for the
staple and we have heard that planters
have carried their cotton back home be.
cause Of . lack Of purchasers with ready
money. s..
The cotton crop will be short. There
seems to he no doubt Of this fact. A very
large area of the cotton belt products Of
the Red river valley will be shut out from
market owing to the lack Of transporta-
ton by means of the river. This stream
is a veritable creek, mere spring branch,
and weeks must elapse ere its waters, will

which may possibly prove godsend
to the farmers and recompense them
for the shortness Of the crop. It is pre-
dicted that the price Of the staple will in

mer to be realized by the planter and the
latter price going into the hands Of spec
ulators. Should the prediction prove
correct one then the delay in disposing Of
their crops will prove blessing in dis
guise to our struggling agricalturalists.
We do not desire to raise false hopes, but
the signs Of the times indicate better pri-

That's what it Means.

We recently noticed tso h9Eemen ri.

leading to VIM parish. Ely We're

their sockAaetraw hats, bundles consisting
probably, of change of clothing, blan.
ket and oil cloths. They rode with short
'stirrups and on good animals. Had it
been war times and those two men array
cd in uniforms, We would have been led
to cxclaiR ''Yankee cavalry, by jingom
Their figures and contour .."f faces pro-
claimed them veritable Yankees from
"way down east" They were travelling
and camping whore night overlook them.
They had maps of the country in their
pockets and were literally ''spying ont the
land;;" examining the vast pine forests,
these far-stretching solitudes which the
birds will scarce visit and whose brown,
straw carpeted earth scarce gives back a
sound to the football and whose soil is so
unproductive as to render it unworthy the
trcuble of even an attempt to cultivate it.
What in the name of creation do these
people want with these lands, some one
will enquirer The reply is easy and
solves the question.
In the far East the vast pine forests are
becoming exhausted; the supply uneq,la.
to the demand. Attention has been direcl
ted to the mighty pine forests of the South.
Yankee thrift, Yankee capital and Yankee
enterprise propose to turn these solitudes
into gold mines; to cause them to TEEN
with life; to awaken their dormant ech-
oes with the whir Of machinery and the
busy hum of active life. Thousands and
tens of thousands Of acres have already
been purchased. In time these vast soil
tudes will be traversed by q network of
railroads and will TEEN with al. industri-
ons population and resound with. the roar
and rush and hustle Of machinery driven
by the giant power ofsteam. 1t is one
Of the many industries which will be de-
yeloped in the ''Naw South" and which
will result most profitably to the capital
invested and cause the influx of an indus
triol,s and energetic class Of people. That
is what it means and there are many such
visitors now travelling in the South, as
those described in this article.
