Cotton Planters Convention.

The Southern World published at
Atlanta, Ca, makes the following
mention of the convention of the
National Cotton Planters Associa-
ton, to be held at Little Rock on
the 10th day of October:
The Convention of the National
Cotton Planters Association will be
aided and supplemented by the an
nual exhibition of the Arkansas
State Fair Association, which is to
take place at the same time. The
session of the convention promises
to be of vast Importance to the cot
ton interests of the South, and as
the counties of nearly all the Cotton
States are moving in the matter, it
is to be hoped that Georgia, which
carried the Atlanta Cotton Exposi
sition to success, will be fully repre-
sented in the body. TO give bare
hint of the importance OF the Con
ventlon, 1t is only necessary TO say
that arrangements will be made for
most thorough and complete sys-
tenn of organization OF the agricutu-
raj and industrial interests Of the
Cotton States. If tins organization
can be perfected, and there is absos
lutely nothing in the way, the Asso-
citation will prove to be the most be-
neficent organization that has ever
been devised in the South.
1t is thought that the Fair, to be
held at Little Rock, will be the larg-
est ever held in the South, with the
exception Of the Atlanta Cotton Elk
position. Among other things, it is
announced that the display will in
clude plantation cotton seed oil
mill, the first ever exhibited.

The Ubiquitous Fly.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
Herr III. DEWITT has commitment
ed to the Berlin society of natural
history some facts that bear very
strongly against the generally re-
ceived theory that flies adhere to
perpendicular walls and ceilings by
virtue of some sucking power in
their feet. He asserts that the feet
of flies cannot possess the sucking
property ascribed to them, for they
are hard and destitute of muscles.
The theory has long been contra
dieted by the experiments of Black
well, who found that dies could
climb the sides of a jar under the re
ceiver of an alr-pump, where there
was 70 atmospheric pressure, and
who asserted that the power OF adj
herence was due to sticky matter
secreted from the foot-hairs of flies.
This assertion was generally regard
ed as not proved, and the case has
rested there. DEWITT reports that
his Investigations have shown that
Blackwell was right. He has watch
ed the emulation Of the sticky mat.
ter from the feet of flies by fasten
ing one of these insects TO the under
side of plate of glass and viewing
it under the microscope. A perfect.
ly clear liquid was seen to flow from
the ends Of the foot hairs and attach
the foot TO the glass. When the
foot was lifted up, to be put down in
another place, the drops of the sticky
matter were perceived TO be left on
the glass, in the exact places where
the foot hairs rested The adhesive
fluid appears TO pass down through
the hollow OF the hair, and 10 be te.
rived from glands which Leydig dis
covered in the folds of the foot IN
1859. A similar adhesive matter
appears to be possessed by bugs, by
many larvae, and probably by all in
seets that climb the stems and the
under sides OF the leaves of plants.

Hunting Situations.
Pina RIufF Com naarcial

at this season OF the year, there is
a Wild unrest among the country
boys, and they want to come to town
| to hunt situation Some magma
ry trouble has sprung up with the
old man, or Bill Scroggins or Jack
Nettles has been in the neighbor-
hood, telling town stories and show
ing up second class hobby suit and
hat, and sporting a bundle Of five
cent cigars or cigarettes. The temp
tation is too great, and the boy who
has been raised to know when and
how TO pillow, imagines that merchan
disc is his calling, and success is
only to be attained behind the coun-
ter. He comes to town, goes in and
out Of stores of all varictles without
regard to style or standard, without
any object in view but getting sit,
uation and d iodgment in town. All
he wants is a Situation" and he re-
ally believes that lie is worth $75 per
month and expenses paid. Torea
son to the contrary, insults his i'm
portance. mo, sir, I'm worth more,
and / can command a big influence
IN Gwinnett county and at Barnes
X roads" Well, he finally drops
behind a situation paying $25 per
month. He is in town, ''one of them
town boys" He rents room at Sc
per month; furnishing it at a cost OF
$50, hires servant at So per month
and engages board at $50. Now he
has secured the height Of his ambi.
ton. To the old merchant and the
man who has observed, the balance
is readily known. In a year he is
demorallzed, and if he is not wise
enough to take warning and go home,
he hunts up another situation at
about the same rates, telling, per-
haps, the new employer how badly
he was treated by Mr.. Smith, whom
he just had to quit; what a large
amount of trade he commanded, for
which he got no credit, etc, etc.
This comment on "situation hunt
ing" was suggested some days since
by an elderly gentleman, who in
stanced the case of relative of his
who had been noundering around
"thusly," for five years, and by this
time he was not worth five cents in
money or capacity.
We close this letter Of recommen-
dalton to the country lad with bit
of poetry which we ask him to com
NIT to memory, and in years to come
it will appear as "apples of gold in
pictures of silver"
"'rhe farm is the safest and surest;
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You are free as the air of the mountain,
And monarch of all you survey.
"But stay OIL the farm awhile longer,
Tho profits come in rather slow,
Remember, you've nothing to risk boys,
Don't be in a hurry to CO."

The New National Currency

The first issue Of the new five dol
lar bills, national currency, has made
its appearance. The new bill, face
and back, Is rmireN different from
the old opcs, now being destroyed as
fast as received in ashington. The
bills in circulation are from the Sec
ond National bank Of this city, John
@. Emo, president, and o. ID, Rob
erts, cashier. In the lett hand cor
ner is an admirable portrait of Gen
erai Garfield, the best likeness as
yet published. Many applications
were made in the bank yesterday
for the new bills, which were exhibit
ed on the street with interest. New

School Teachers Abroad.

Nothing shows more clearly the
difference in the earning power OF
skilled labor in this country and in
France than the pay received by
public teachers In the schools on the
other side of the channel. 1t is es.
timated that there are at the present
Anne about $4,000 women and 80
900 men employed in this way IN
France and their salary averages
little more than ESQ per mnum
each, Only one man in seventy re-
ceives stipend equal to fl00 a
year, while the number of women
enjoying that handsome salary falls
short of 200, or about l in every 100.
Figures like these must raise very
unpleasant emotions in the minds OF
members Of English school boards,
who find it impossible to get salts
factory teachers except on paying
much higher salaries, and then are
accused on all sides Of unnecessary
extrayagance.--Pall Mall Gazette.

The Necessity for Reform.

If housekeepers would only follow
the noble example of reform now being
set in municipal politics by the sterner
sex, what a glorious country this would
be. And they must do it. Common
sense advises it and necessity demands
it. The time is past when you must
spend considerable money where few
doses of Swayne's Pills would effect a
speedy cure. Reform is needed in the
household. Hereafter, when any of
the family are suffering from bilious
ness. indigestion, disordered liver or
costiveness, use Swayne's Pills. After
their use, you will have no other.
