The fact that cotton production during
the last decade has almost doubled speaks
sufficiently for the increasing attention be-
slowed upon the gceat staple. In the case Of
Texas, the increase Of cotton production
has little more than kept pace with the in
crease of population. The great increase In
the cotton product Of the Carolinas is due
to more thorough cultivation and increased
use of fertilizers. In commenting on the
Carolinag, Professor Hilgard says: These
two members Of the original union
of thirteen have been first to place
cotton culture upon q permanent
foundation by adopting q system Of regular
returns to the soil, and the high product
per acre, as compared with Georgia ana
Alabama on the one hand, and with Missis-
sippi on the other, exhibits tellIngly the

The uufavorable symptoms which made
their appearance yesterday afternoon have
entirely subsided. The President passed q
very comfortable, restful night, and this
morning his pulse is 80 and temperature
90 9. This would seem to indicate that the
increased pulse and temperature of last eve
ming was merely a temporary huctuation,
due, as the surgeons supposed, to some mo-
mentsry tax upon his nervous system, rather
than to any permanent unfavorable change
in his condition. J. 8. Brown,
