sneeulations in the South.

The recent break In cotton furnishes
,oyt for several prominent Northern jour-
nails in the ventilation of what they know
ab,,ut speculations in cotton futures. Fer
hans the weight of information from that
quarter NAV have some effect upon South
ern sneculators. The late collapse gives
the New York Financial Chronicle the
opportunity of saying that it Is disposed
to take a cold view OF the matter, aud to
regard the collapse as healthful, purely
educational. and as "teaching the severe
lesson that man must live by the sweat OF
bis brow"
"It appears" remarks the Chronicle,
cas- if nearly every person is required TO
pass throug ID some such experience before
| he is willing to settle down AMI act upon
| that conclusion."
A short road to wealth is an early aud
| a common dream, but not one speculator
in thousand profits by his ventures. He
NAV for a time, but the end is loss.
A broker said not long since that he
had on the average new crop OF Gus
toners every three years, as it took about
| that time to exhaust the old ones This
is predominant reason why the South does
| not accumulate wealth faster. 1t always
speculates on the cotton crop, and almost
universally on what is called the "bull
| side"
The Chronicle might have justly gone
| step further and said that it made but lit
| tie difference whether the South took the
| bull side or the bear side of the question,
| the outcome would be about the same
thing. The game is about on parity
| with "heads l win, tails you lose," and
every body knows this is hard game to
beat
The South is indie bted TO the Chronicle
| for it's free admission that speculation in
cotton futures sis prominent reason
why the South does not accumulate IN
| wealth faster"
1t most assuredly is one reason, for if a
contemporary of the Chronicle, the New
York Times, is good authority on the
subject, the South pays dearly for its
whistle.
sThere are more Southern than North
ern amateur spectators in futures" says
| the Times "and it is said the South loses
| in this way the annual sum of $50, 900, 900.
4 very good rule, cool-headed opera
| tors saw. is to find out what the Southern
ers are doing, and then do just the other
thing"
1t looks almost incredible, but then the
Times doubtless knows whereof it speaks.
The sum of $50, 200, 900 annually expended
by the South in cotton speculations is
equal to one-eighth of the value of the
entire cotton crop of the United States.
Surely it is about time for outside victims
to call halt, and to consider the folly of
placing themselves and their margins en-
tirely at the mercy of so-called operators.
The process of milking is about as easy as
| lying Galveston Neaos.

Wonderful Spectacle said to have been
Seen in TROY.

Troy, March Sin an alley 10 the rear
of First street, below Adams street, in
this city, is a one-story wood building, in
which Thomas Jones, a man possessed of
more than average intelligence, and two
aged female relatives reside. The house
is an unpretentious one, but for few days
past it has possessed wonderful attractions
for persons of a superstitious turn of
mind. 1t is alleged that at about 5
o'clock every afternoon picture of the
Virgin Mary, with a child in her arms,
appears on one of the whitewashed walls.
The apparition is at first almost invisible,
but gradually grows palmer until it be-
comes distinctly visible.
A correspondent called at the house this
evening, and after little delay was ush-
cred into a scantily furnished sitting
room. On making the objec. of the visit
known, Mr.. Jones was at first inclined to
be reticent, but the correspondent sug-
gesting that there could be no reasonable
ground for believing the story of the ap-
partition, Mr.. Jones jumped to his feet, ex.
claiming, "But know better, sir, 1 have
seen it with my own eyes several times. "
Then pointing to the west wall of the
room, Mr.. Jones asserted that for many
days well-executed picture of the Virgin
Mary, with babe in her arms, and with
cross and the letters 81. H. S." a little
to the right, appeared in figures of fire.
Mr.. Jones could g i've no reason for the ap
partition, and seemed to be alarmed at its
frequent appearance. While admitting
that he was a strict believer in the doc
trines Of the Roman Catholic Church, he
denied that he was at all superstitions, and
declared that when his attention was first
called to the apparition by bis relatives
he tried to laugh away their fears. Taking
a lighted lamp, the correspondent critically
examined the whitewashed wall, and
while he could see nothing resembling a
picture of the Virgin, rude outline of q
cross and the letters l. III. S. were visible
AS the reporter returned the light to the
table the women in the room suddenly fell
on their knees. In turning his attention
to them his eye fell on the wall. The spot
he had just been examining seemed to bt
blaze of light. He could discern no pic
ture Of the Virgin Mary, but the cross
was very plain. The apparation lasted a
few moments only. 1t is possible that it
is the work of mischievous neighbors, bu
a careful search about the premises re
vealed nothing to warrant such belief.
A thorough investigation of the alleged
apparition is to be made by persons who
manifest considerable interest in it. Th'
majority of Trojans attribute the phenome
non to phosphorus in the whitewashet
walls.

INTERESTING TO OYSTER EATERs.-A
matter of Importance to oyster eaters has
been disclosed by Mr.. e. A. Cameron.
He lately examined some oysters taken
from the beds on the northern shore of the
Bay of Dublin, where the water is very
much polluted at present with excremen.
titious and other offensive substances. The
oysters which Mr.. Cameron tested were
taken from a place where the tide covered
them to height of ten feet, and which
was nearly dry at low water. From the
brine of most of the oysters no offensive
ordor was emitted but that of large pro-
portion gave forth distinctly fetid smell,
and in a few cases the brine gave unmis-
taxable evidence to the nostrils of sewage
contamination. The microscope revealed
in the fetid liquor of the oysters whole
swarms of micrococci and other low orgaL.
isms like those usually present in sewage.
Water taken from the bay at low tide was
found to be highly charged with sewage.
1t is not unfairly considered, therefore, that
:he illness which so many persons have
experienced after eating oysters be-
lieved to have been stale, was really
due to the sewage in the juice of these
shellfsh.

SENSIBLE TALK.-Mr. A. j. White, a
Pike county (Ga.) merchant miller, an.
nounces to the farmers that he will grind
corn at a slight advance on Western
prices and closes with the following per-
tinent suggestion: "Farmers of Pike
county, the planting season will soon be
here and let me beg you to plant corn
enough to support you fully and the bal
ance in cotton-make your living at home
and be independent of merchants. If you
will do this and make less cotton, what
you do make will bring you more money
than all you make now, and having your
corn crib full of corn, hogs will grow finely
you will be independent and can give
your wife and children the cotton to buy
nice fine clothes with"

A Woman under the Bed.

The traditional man under the bed has
been found, and lovely woman is happy.
No, not so; it is quite the reverse. The
woman under the bed has been found, and
it was man who found her. Hereafter
all who are prone to taunt curious
woman with having an inquiring turn of
mind and being fond of making a voyage
of discovery under the bed, will please be
warned that men sometimes do likewise.
MIR. Northrop, at Hartford hotel, having
locked and bolted his door, retired. In
the morning he found his door unlocked
and the bolt drawn, and his pockets rifed.
He related the matter at dinner to Mr..
Bradley, who before retiring that night
recalled the incident. What ensued is
best told in Mr.. Bradley's own words:
"After boiling the door, I did what l
have never done before in my life, and
that was to look into the closet AS there
was nobody there looked under the bed
There seemed to be something crouched
against the wall, and to make sure I got
down on my knees and looked again. This
| time the something moved and l started
for the door and called police I then
turned and commanded whatever was
under the bed to come out, and in resp onse
| a small woman came out"
She proved to be an experienced thief
| who was a transient guest at the hotel,
registering under the name of Mary
Palmer. But that is only an incident
the important matter is, men sometimes
| look in closets and under beds as we'll as
women, and find there what they are look
ing for

Peg FOUND IN TREE.-Mr. T. B.
Fowler was splitting rails near this place,
one day last week, and, in splitting open
a tree about eighteen inches in diameter,
he found a wooden peg four inches long
and one in diameter near the centre of the
tree-four or five inches from the outside.
The peg must have been driven into the
tree many years ago, as the tree had
grown to such thickness over it. The
only solution of the mystery that we have
heard suggested is that the peg was pro-
badly driven into the tree by ar old man.
known as "Governor" Cook, who formerly
lived near where the tree stood, and who,
it is said, was something Of q conjurer and
used to drive pegs into trees as species
of enchantment.

Startling Assertions of Josephite NOR
mon from Salt Lake City.

OMAHA. March 3.-A man from salt
Lake, visiting in this city, in the course
of an animated conversation on the anti
Mormon movement, said he believed that
Brigham Young is still alive. He SAID
that he saw the body which was supposed
to be that of the Mormon leader, ana
while it might have borne some slight re-
semblance to that OF Brigham Young II
was in reality that of some other man.
He said he knew of hundred Latter Day
Saints who also failed to recognize the
BODY as that of Young. He had heard
Brigham Young often predict tnat ne
should be resurrected from the dead and
he firmly believes that when the Crisis ar
r;ves in the affairs of the Mormons, the
resurrection dodge will be played upon
the ignorant, superstitious, aud tanatlcai
people who compose the Mormon Church.
This cunning plan will be in keeping with
the various tricks and pretensions that
have characterized the Mormon Church
since it's inception. Brigham Young, a
sbrewd and far-seeing man, knew that the
day was not far off when vigorous cru
SADIE would be made upon the Mormon
Church, and he adopted the resurrection
game, to be put into operation at time
when the people shall need something in
the shape of miracle to firmly cement
them together and. fight to maintain the
principles Of the faith. ..;-.
The man who made these statements Is
Mormon, but not polygamist. He is
what is known as Josephite, or be-
lever in the true Mormon Church founded
by Joseph Smith, and he denies, with all
Josephites, that polygamy was ever part
of the Mormon faith preached by Smith.
He is extensively engaged in business In
Utah, and is regarded as a mar of sound
Judgment and veracity. While here he
visited some of the Omaha Josephites, and
it was to them that he made the revela-
tions of the plan by which Brigham Young
is to create the greatest sensation of mod
ings with Young, and was intimately ac-
the complete organization and secret work
ings of the church, it would be an easy
matter to keep Brigham Young concealed
for almost any length of time, and repro
duce him when most needed to revive the
faith of believers by his apparent resurrec-
ton. That this resurrection would be
taken as a matter of fact there is no doubt,
and the superstitious people would follow
the prophets banner with the zeal of fanat-
les, and shed their blood in its defence.
This Josephite's statement is to some
extent confirmed by retired army officer
who was on the most friendly and inti-
mate terms with Brigham Young. This
officer, who viewed the alleged remains of
Young, has, it is said made the assertion
that they did not bear the least resem-
blance to Brigham Young.

W At the request of Mrs. Garfield,
and under the direction of ex-Postmaster
General James, there has been prepared
for presentation to the Queen of England
frame containing the first proof of the
new five cent stamps, United States pos
tage, known as the "Garield stamp"
The portrait of President Garfield upon
the stamp is an approved likeness, en-
graved by the American Bank Note Com
pany from photographs selected by Mrs.
Garfield, who also selected the color which
was adopted by the Post Office Depart
ment for the printing of the stamps. The
frame consists of a mat of sterling silver,
upon which is engraved an exquisite border
of fine geometric lathework. This is sur
rounded by rod of solid gold nearly a
quarter of an inch in diameter cut in bar
leycorn work of new design, with brilliant
facets by Joaquin. The rod separates the
silver from the royal purple velvet upon
the concave portion of the frame, which is
of fine ebony. A glass plate with beveled
edges covers all except the ebony, and the
whole is enclosed in a cedar wood box
mounted with silver and lined with royal
purple velvet.
