SPIDER WEB COTTON.
A NEW VARIETY.

The New Orleans Times of Sep

in regard to a new variety of cot

planters
STEELE's BAyor, Miss, Aug. 1882.
The Times-Democrat having
manifested considerable interest
in my experiments with the long
staple cotton to which it has given
the name "Spider Web," thought
a few items concerning this years
crop of this cotton might be Of
some interest, therefore inclose
a sample of the Spider Web cot
ton of the crop of 1882, opened
on August 22d; you will doubtless
perceive at a glance that it is a de-
cided improvement on last years

proving remarkably prolific, prom

Progress in Agriculture.

The committee on agriculture,
to whom had been intrusted the
query from Indiana: "Are we
advancing in agriculture ~ repor.
ted that they had spent seven
weeks in investigating the matter,
and were quite ready to answer
in the Affirmative. Among other
instances of progress in agricul-
ture might be mentioned that of
hoeing corn. A dozen years ago
the plan was to lean the hoe against
a stump In the field and go off fish.
ing. 1t is now done by giving
chattel mortgage on three steers
and hiring a neighbor to do the
work. Ten years ago turnips were
heaped up in the barn or cellar
and supposed to be food only for
cows and calves. To day they are
carefully wrapped in tissue paper,
laid in bureau drawers, and are
considered a fit diet even for a
senator. Progress had been made
in plowing, dragging, reaping and
many other particulars, and the
committee felt safe in saying that
the time was not far distant when
a farmer could sit in an arm chair
in a lager beer saloon and raise
sixty bushels Of wheat to the acre.

Bob Tcombs and Senator Lamar Make Up Over

"Yes,' said my friend, "nearly

said he, putting his bundle in Clay
Goodloe's country wagon, "and if

The talk fell upon the funeral of

Death Of Gel L. A. Campbell.
[vieksburg Herald !

tkSoufS utIdlu-
A telegram was received here
yesterday by the firm of Parisot &
Campbell, announcing the death of
Col. LeOnidas \. Campbell, at the
Southern Hotel, in st. Louis, at
7:4O o'clock. Col. Campbell had
not been confined to bed but a
short while, but the treacherous
disease which carried him of had
afflicted him for months. 1t is
thought he died from Bright's dis
ease. AT any rate he had been in
failing health for more than a year.
His death was not expected by
his devoted wife, for only a few
days before ii was announced, she
wrote that he was sick and would
therefore be prevented for awhile
from coming to his home here.
She apparently had no thought he
would never reach his Southern
home again.
Col. Campbell was one of the
first citizens of Vicksburg, and his
loss will be severely felt. He had
resided here only a few years. but
in that time he took an active part
in many valuable public enterpri.
ses. Honorable, earnest, firm, in
dustrious, he accumulated a large
fortune, the greater portion of
which consists of plantations on
Silver Creek, in Yazoo county.
He was the active member of the
large and successful cotton firm of
Parisot & Campbell, for years
President of the Planters Com
press, and he deserved as much
credit as any other man for putting
the Memphis, Vicksburg & New
Orleans Railroad in hands that will
certainly build it. lie was a Miss.
ourian by birth and served under
General Price in the Confederate
army, where hc rose to the rank OF
Lieutenant Colonel. Soon after
the war he settled in Yazoo coun
ty, where, after severe rcverscs
he rapidly accumulated large
fortune by cotton planting. ii,
married the daughter Of a banker
at Springfield, NO., and has on,
child living, a bright, handsom,
little boy.
His bereaved wife and the littl,
fellow who knows not his loss
have the earnest sympathy of al
who knew the husband and father
Col. Campbell was Knight Ten
plar, Knight of Pythias, a Knigh
of Honor, and n member of the An
cient Order of the United Work

A Star Reuters Newspapers.

Brady's evening paper prints a
defense of his Investments in
Washington newspapers, drawn
out by Mr.. Merrick's references
to them in his speech. The pur-
chase Of the National Republican,
the Evening Critic and Sunday
Capital is credited to Brady's faith
innewspapers as means to prof
itably employ his wealth and lels-
ure. Some inquiry shows that he
certainly put in a great deal of
money, but that his faith in news
papers has steadily declined as his
trial has approached its close. He
paid s20,500 for one share more
than majority of the stock of the
National Republican. Gorham was
employed as editor at s100a week,
and KilbOurn as business manager
at $4,000. Other salaries were pro-
portionally liberal. Every Satur-
day Brady gave his check for the
deficit, until at the end of twelve
months his investment in that con-
Germ amounted to $4,000. What
he got for it when George Bliss
and others forced him to sell out,
under a threat to start another
Republican paper to relieve Presi.
dent Arthur of the odium of hav.
ing the Republican spoken of as
the organ of the administration,
no one knows exactly; but is very
generally believed that he virtually
gave away his stock.
The Critic has cost him first and
last $4,000, and the Capital stands
for $4,000 more. Within a week
he has offered his interest in each
of these for sale at low figures.
Besides those mentioned Brady
showed his faith in newspapers by
extending financial favors to sew
eral others in the district, and so
popular did he become with the
Washington press that, outside OF
the Star and Sunday Herald, there
will not be found all unkind word,
or evena clipping directed against
the star route defendants in the
files of the Washington daily aud

The HiII-Naneey Trouble.

Washington. Sept. 5.-In a card
to the Critic Saturday night, "His-
tOrieusn says: "Dr. James b.
Hamilton no doubt aims to tell the
truth in regard TO the Hill-Yancey
difficulty in the Confederate Sen
ate, but he evidently does not
know it all. Now, the throwing of
the inkstand by Hill at Yancey
took place in open Senate, whereas
the personal collision occurred in
secret or executive session of that
body, and the injury was so severe
that Yancey was carried from the
Senate chamber with the blood
streaming from his mouth and his
body writhing in agony. | saw,
yesterday, letter written by Mr..
Hill in 1865, while he was impris-
oned in Fort Lafayette, in which
Hill says he taught laneey a les.
son. account Of the fracas was
also published in the Nashville
Banner just after the war. Ialso
have II on good authority that Mr..
Hill admitted that he hurt Yancey
badly, and added that if he had
killed Yancey and one other man
before the war il would have been
far better for the country. The
one other man probably referred
to is Toombs. The names in re-
gard to this last statement can be
given if required. An account of
this encounter was also published
in the Cincinnati Commercial in
1896, as l am credibly informed.

Jay Could's Politics.


We observe that Mr.. Jay Gould
is spoken of by certain Western
newspapers of the Democratic per.
suasion as "the great Republican
capitalist It. ought not to be
necessary to repeat Mr.. Gould's
celebrated avowal, 81 am a Demo
crat in Democratic counties, a Re-
publican in Republican counties,
but an Erie man at all times," even
if the expension of Mr.. Gould's
power demands the substitution
of Estates" for Counties, and
"a Gould MANI as being on the
whole the best equivalent for the
Erie man" of ten years ago.
Our Western friends are naturally
little confused over the part now
being essayed by Gould of Cover
nor.making of the State of New
York, and they have hastily as
sumed that the man who has pur.
chased both the political and the
professional services of Roscoe
Conkling, must, necessarily, be a
Republican. AS New York is a
close State, Mr.. Gould finds it nec-
essary to make his influence felt in
the councils of both parties. Mr..
Roswell 2. Flower is his candidate
on the Democratic side. On the
Republican he has not yet distinct
ly indicated his preference, being,
meanwhile, content with the gen
eral declaration of anything to
beat Cornell.n Mr.. Gould's news.
paper influence in this State is
both Republican aud Democratic,
and his money will be freely spent

and the election of a Governor on

are the kind of men who will pay
a proper regard to his interests.

1t would be low figure to fix
Brady's investment at 100000.
He will be able to tell about the
end of next week whether he is
satisfied. To some he said: ~What
you pay a lawyer who addresses a

cred wasted, and why should one
regret what he has spent on news
papers, which speak hundred

The Washington Monument.

The white, tall, plain shaft of the
Washington Monument is foot by
foot daily rising skyward, and its
completion, in due course Of time,
is now assured. 1t is already a
landmark visible from any part of
Washington, and the inhabitants
after a generation of ridicule are
beginning to be proud oft. Apart
from its unique character as an ar.
chitectural wonder, modern sci.
ence proposes to utilize it for the
public benefit. The signal Office
expects to have a permanent sta
ton at its summit, and its officers
say that observations of the air
and atmospheric movements taken
at an altitude of $50 feet will be of
great value. Observations are ta-
ken, of course, at far greater alti.
tudes than this, but the gradual
slope of even the most precipitous
mountains and the presence of
large masses of rock near the OBJ
servatory create surface currents
even on mountain heights, and in.
terfere with the study of the phe-
nomena of the higher levels of the
atmosphere. 1t has often been
proposed to institute a series of
experiments by means of captive
balloons, but the expense of such
work prevented the plans being
carried out. At the time of the
Centennial it was proposed to
erect a skeleton tower to a height
Of 1000 feet in FairmOunt Park.
Had this been done the signal Off.
GERS would have utilized the OBJ
servatory for the benefit of metc.
geological science, but the tower
stopped at 800 feet. The signal
officers say it would not be I'M
practicable to build a tower 1000
feet high, or even higher, aud that
the erection of such a tower would
he of great service.
The monument is now 300 feet
high. The original design contcm
plated a height of 800 feet, but al
u meeting of the commissioners
two years ago when 1t was decided
to resume work, it was voted to
make the monument the loftiest
artificial structure in the world
The commissioners examined the
heights of all the noted monu
ments, towers, pagodas, spires
buildings, and flag poles and fount
that to safely distance all rivalr,
a distance Of $50 feet would b,
necessary. 1t was therefore de
termined to complete the shaft OF
this plan, and the drawings were
modified to that end. What wa'
the surprise and qualification o
the commissioners to find subse
quently that the new proportions
of the shaft as now adopted wer'
exactly those of the Egyptian oh
elisk.
