Exroxr OF oorros nAxUYAorpxrs

American cotton holds its own in the
worlds markets on account of its superiority,
but the United States holds no charter of
everlasting possession. There are lands in
Egypt and elsewhere that, we're they titled
by industrious hands allied to intelligent
brains, would prove irrepressible rivals. 1t
is, therefore, Of consequence that we should
put ourselves in a position where rivalry
can scarcely reach US. The cotton we grow
is a raw material, whose manufacture brings
wealth almost unbounded, that renders the
nations of the earth tributary to the supplier
OF universal want. To make our predomi-
nancy safe in coming years, and to draw the
utmost from the material we grow that it
will yield, it should be our object 10 part
with as little of our cotton in a raw state as
possible, and as much in a manufactured
condition. Many advantages, direct and in
direct, would come from such change. For
instance il costs no more to send a bale of cot
ton goods over the sea worth $3.50, than bale
of raw cotton worth $50. To make this
change would require foreign market for
all we could manufacture beyond what our
own wants require. We have as vet made
no approach toward settled policy OF sell
ing as little raw and as much manufactured
cotton as can be done. We have contented
ourselves with pushing off in the foreign
market any surplus remaining on hand when
the home demand was supplied. In this
way the export of American cotton goods
for the fiscal year ending June so, 1881,
amounted in value to S13,571 1897, against
$9,98l AIS the year preceding, an advance OF
thirty-six per cent. The increase in guam
tity was thirty-nine per cent. The following
table of exports in detail for the fiscal years
ending June 80, 1880 and 1881, is compiled
from the annual report of the Bureau of Sta
tistics.

Vicksburg Herald 18th: ''The reports from
the cotton crop are daily becoming more
satisfactory. The settled hot weather is caus-
ing the plant TO grow rapidly"
Aberdeen En1miner: "Farners are cheer
fuI, owing to the season of dry, warm
weather we have had dating back two or
three weeks, in which time the cotton and
corn, although a little backward for this
time of the year, have exhibited wonderful
signs of health and vitality"
Macon Beacon, 10Th: "The first cotton
bloom in Noxubee comes from DIR. S. We'll
bern's place. 1t was brought in yesterday.
Az general thing the cotton is email for
the season, but We hope The hot days and
warm nights We are having will bring it
out. A cotton-bloom was gathered near
Columbus the same day"
Columbus Hudez, 18th: Throughout all Of
the lately inundated district in The Missis-
sippi bottoms, the areas planted and now
being rapidly cultivated into remarkably
fine condition, exhibit the most gratifying
evidences that the amount of staple that will
be raised throughout all the oveIAowed re-
gioD, will be three-fourths of the amount
made last sesson."
Iuka Reporter, 18th: eve are well pleased
to see our people taking an interest in the
i'm proVement Of their stock. In the last lew
Jersey cattle brought to this place. Instead
of encouraging the raising OF sheep, our
Legislature has put veto on this industry,
and by their actions encourage the raising
of dogs, by not taxing these worthless pests"

1870. The increase of corn production and
in population Is given likewise. The per
centage OF grain indicated is greater than
would have been shown had not the corn crop
of 1869 been exceedingly poor. All classes
of live stock, except working oxen, show
rate OF increase considerable larger than
that of population, which was thirty per
cent. Working oxen have increased in only
fifteen of the forty seven States and Terri
tories. With the exception of Michigan,
this gain Is confined to the South and far
West A decrease in oxen of twenty-five
per cent for the whole country IL, as indi-
Gated, the only falling off reported. More
than 100000 horses, giving round num-
bers, an increase of forty Five per cent. in the
decade were enumerated. These large fig
ures are surpassed by other aggregates.
Mich cows numbered nearly II, 100000, an
increase of thirty-nine per cent. Other cat
tie increased sixty per cent, and of them
there were %, 100000. Sheep outnumber
cows and other cattle taken together, above
100000 being reported, with twenty-fOur
per cent. gain. Swine increased ninety per
cent, and the astonishing total Of 47,6S0,O00
is credited to this class, almost one hog for
every human person. The intractable mules
and humble asses increased sixty-oHe per
cent, about 100000 being in service.
Indian corn exceeded the production reported
IN 1870 by 131 per cent. The table does not
include ranch stock or animals owned by

An UnfaifhraI wife's Horrible Act.

i GREEN BAY, Wis, June 15.-Louis Kuski
! and wife Rosa, with three children, the old
est only five years of age. live in the town OF
. Pitlsfeld, this county. For some time past
hs and s bad not LIVED db 5
innate terms with brother OF the husband,
which conduct on the part of the wife finally
led to a separation. Some time thereafter
Mrs. Kuski had her husband arraigned in
one of the justices courts of this city, on the
charge of abandonment and failure TO pro-
vide for her. Shortly after these proceed
ings in court the troubles betwee nKuski and
ms wife were amicably settled, and they be-
gan TO live together again. From William
Kuski, brother OF the husband of Mrs.
Kuski, a reporter elicted the following facts:
Yesterday afternoon, while Louis and Will
liam KHski were working in a field some
distance from the house, the eldest child
OF Kuski came to them, and in
formed them that something dreadful
had happened TO the mother. The men
ct once started for the house, and, entering
one of the rooms, were startled at finding
Mrs. Kuski lying upon the floor ia an insen-
sible condition Her face was discolore9 and
distorted, and presenting every appearance
of having suffered intense agony. Near by
the woman lay fragments of prematurely
born child. The floor OF the room was thick
ly covered with blood, and the whole scene
was indescribsbly sad and sickening. The
woman being unable to speak, the little child
volunteered a statement that clearly estab-
lished the fact that the woman had been
guilty of the act of self-abortion. This fact
was further evidenced in the finding of GER
tain instruments, and a kettle containing a
medical preparation which had been used for
the purpose. Mrs. Kuski remained in an
unconscious condition until about O'Clock
this morning, at which hour she died. The
purpose of this unnatural act, it is supposed,
was to enable the woman to rid herself of
evidence of her illicit intimacy with some one
other than her husband, during the time of
their separation.

crop news from all quarters.
At Lonoke crops are coming out rapidly
under the hot sun of the past few days, and
exhibitions of very fine wheat and oats are
common. Much preparation is going on to
cut hay on the prairie. All the land Il being
rented for the grass, and some complaint Is
heard that persons buying cattle to drive
herd them on grass owned OF rented by the
hay men. The grass Is now a commodity; ;
every available acre will be cut.
Little Rock Gazette, 18th: "From every
section of the State, except the narrow strips
visited with second overflow, come glowing
accounts Of splendid crop prospects. 1t
is said that cotton doubled ITS size last Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday, by reason Of the
hot weather. The local rains have been
general all over the State, and the farmers
are highly encouraged by the change Of the
weather. -. The peach and strawberry
crops at Beebe, AuStin, Cabot and Judsonia.
have been better to the people than frs
