planter of Georgia, rehectvey, as he leaned
over the plank fence at theexDositioa grounds,
ssto see this little field of cotton, and no cott-n
planter in the South ought to fail 70 see it, as
it is probably sight that he can nevor look
on again, and which has never been seen IN
this country before" The fsld is really
marvel Of agriculture. 1t is an enclosure OF a
very few acres, where, growing side by side,
can be seen every variety of cotton plant that
can be grown upon this earth. There is cot
ton from India, from Hindoostan, from China,
Japan, from Australia, from the north coast
of Africa Brazil, Chill and the South Sea
Islands, the Cape OF Good Hops, Mexico Cen
trail America, Bombay and every other climate
in which the cotton plant has ever been grown.
Each plant preserves its characteristics ad-
mirabiy, and side by side may be seen cotton
with the perfectly red flower growing ten
feet high and the stalks with perfectly blne
flowers growing less than two feet high.
There is the queer Chinese cotton With a
pinched, contracted look, that marks every
thing that comes from that country, the Peru

A New Game of Solitaire.

Somebody has invented q new game OF soli-
taire which is just now interesting all card
players and clubs are formed to play 1t, COM
munication of success being made by telegraph
and letter. 1t is the most difficult form OF the
game vet devised. The elements OF caioula-
tion and chance are about equally divided.
The possible combinations of the game may be
said 60 be incalcuable. The full pack of fifty
two cards are used. They must be thoroughly
shufHed to begin with, and then laid ont one
by one in rows on large table Whenever as
thus laid out card of the same suit as the last
one in the row Is to be found three cards baeki
i'skipping two," it can be placed on Fop oil lne
last card in the row. This of course disturOs
the order of the original arrangements ana may
bring cards of the same suit within TWO cares
of each other. In that event the two may be
placed in single pile, that TO the right being
tbe one on which the other card must Oa placed.
II will often happen that the Jour suits may oe
moved in this way at the same time, aud Ia
doing this the memory is taxed, and great IN
genuity needs to be frequently displayed SO as
to combine the cards in such way as to bring
those of the same suit within two cards oil eaon

DETROIT Post: Senator Bayard has been
retired and Senator Davis has been elected
Senator pro tenn. of the Senate. This result
was secured by the silence of Davis and the
vote of Mahoue added to the Republicans
The fact that it has been accomplished does
not alter the Post and Tribune view of the
transaction. 1t will not strengthen the Re-
publican party Of the country by one vote,
and the only aid il will give the administra-
tion will be the control of the Senate COM
mittees. In many respects this is impor
tant, but if unfortunately President Arthur
dies in Office, the advantage of controlling
the Senate committees will sink into incon-
sequence in comparison with the evil Of hav-
ing David Davis acting President of the
United States. If Senator Davis was not
Republican enough to cooperate with the
Republicans in electing Anthony, he is not
Republican enough to receive Republican
votes or to be of any value to the Republi-
can party. But the act is done. To many
it viii give satisfaction as fair measure of
reprisal, seeing that it deprives the Demo
Gratis Of the fruits Of their grab, made in
haste and discour esy, and if Davis is not
called to the Presidency no great harm can
come of it.

a New Romance Of the Forest.

The St Jamess Gazette 'recounts the par
ticulars of a shocking crime which was COM
mitted recently at a monastery near the forest
of vranyo-Selo, in Hungary This monastery
which was inhabited by eight monks who we're
believed to be very wealthy, was attacked by
band of brigands, but an alarm being given,
body of soldiers came 10 the rescue. The brig
auds endeavored to barricade themselves in the
monastery, and exchanged several shots with
the soldiers, who were more than an hour be-
fore they conld force an entrance. When they
did get in they found the monks lying gagged
on the floor, hut could fnd no trace Of the brisS
auds. After the monks had been set at liberty
thev informed their deliverers that the brig
apds had escaped BY an underground passage
leading from the cellar into the forest. The
soldiers at once searched for the passage,
while the monks went off to the chapel 10 give
thanks for their delivery. The soldiers having
explored the cellar, and having failed TO nud
the door Of the passage, came back TO ask one
of the monks 10 act as their guide; put tbey
