Wise Savings.

Gratitude is the throwing out of our
hearts in the light of another's kind
ness.
Ideas generate ideas, like potato,
which, cut in pieces, reproduces itself
in multiplied form.
Oftener ask shan decide questions.
This is the way to better your knowl-
edge. Your ears teach you, not your
tongue.
There is nothing so easy as to be wise
for others; species of prodigality, by
the way-for such wisdom is wholly
wasted.
He that is taught to live upon little
owes more to his fathers wisdom than
he that has great deal left him does to
his fathers care.-Peaoa1.

Improved Cotton Planter.

Cotton is commonly planted by hand
or horse power machines in drills, and
when the plants are up portion in
each row is destroyed, leaving the rest
to stand ut regular distances apart from
each other. This system involves a loss
OF seeds, young plants, and much labor.
A horsepower planter, first used in
planting corn in the hill, was shown at
the exhibition as adapted to planting
cotton seed at certain fixed distance
IN arrow, thus saving the labor of re-
moving the plants not needed. The
machine consists essentially of box or
hopper for holding the seed, simple
device for opening the ground, and a
simple mechanism for containing the
seeds and dropping one ormore at fixed
distances in the furrow. In the hopper
containing the seed is small wheel, in
tended to revolve on horizontal axis
In such position that it will be about
half buried in loose seeds. On the rim
OF the wheel are number of buckets
or cups, each intended to hold one
seed. In connection with each cup is a
grip, or pawl, that by its weight drops
over the cup and keeps the seed in
place. AS this wheel is turned, by suit
able connections with the wheels of the
machine as it moves over the ground,
each seed is carried over the top and
dropped into spout. The grip let's
go Its hold at the right instant, and
thus the seeds are dropped one at a
time, each revolution of the wheel de-
livering fixed number of seeds over a
known space ofground. The spout de-
livers the seed to the drill just behind
the cutter that opens the ground, and
it is then covered by the broad tread of
one OF the wheels of the machine. In
this spout there is also a valve. that may
be controlled by boy riding on the
machine, or by simple mechanical
device that opens and closes the valve
at regular intervals. It is easy to see
that in such d machine it is possible to
both count the seeds and to place one
or any number in hill, at any desired
distance. A change in the gearing al
tiers the spacing in the drill, and once
fixed, it drops the seeds at regular dis
tances apart, whatever the pace of the
horse. Two styles of this machine were
shown, one intended to be guided like
a pillow, and larger machine, that
plants two rows of seeds at the same
time, on which the boy who tends the
dropping device and the driver may
ride.

HO! for California!
From the n. o. Times-Democrat, Dec 3

From the n. o. Times Democrat Dec 80.
To-day the first through..,train leaves
San Franciscossfor New Orleans. It has
a long journey ahead of it, over alkali
deserts and through lands where the
population is maze up chiefly of cactus
es and Indians. It will be over q week
before we see these visitors from the
Pacific Slope steaming into our city
with all the products of another world.
Then, indeed, must we recognize the
fact of the completion of this great
Southern Transcontinental Route. That
route bas been an accomplished fact for
over month, but the departure of to-
days train is the best practical evidence
we have had of it.
This city has hesgreatest Possibilities
offered it in this newly opened field
No railroad in the world can compare
with this Southern and Texas Pacific in
promise. 1t is the shortest all-rail
route in the United States, between the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts. 1t is short
er by 600 to 8 o miles than the New
York route; free from snow and ice,
free from trouble from the Indians. 1t
shortens the distance for grain between
California Eand Europe, 10000 miles,
and allows its transportation across the
continent by rail, which the Central
Pacifc,route can never do. In addition
to this, it traverses nearly 1000 miles
OF Texas, running through rich coun-
try, which it will help to build up; and
penetrates the most promising mineral
districts of New Mexico and ATizone.
BY this route, therefore, this city has a
chance of securing the grain and fruit
trade of California, the tea trade OF
china, the.greater portion of the bust
ness of Northern Texas and the return
trade of all these sections. We have
advantages over every city IN the world
In securing this business. 1t Will not
come to us, however, voluntarily; no
Trade ever does. Wesre simply offered
achance to step in and win it, and are
gwen greater opportunities than any
other commercial city. It remains for
our merchants to utilize these oppOr-
tunlties, and to make New Orleans
commercially, as il is practically, the
terminus of the Southern Pacific road,
and the shipping port for all the pro-
a0ce, lot only Of the Pacific slope, but

WHAT Is LIFE?

Say, what is life? A feeble flower
Declining as it blooms;
Which bears at heart the whitening power
The canker that consumes;
A wintry cloud, an April beam,
A stage for empty strife,
A waking thought, a troubled dream,
All such is life!
A web of checkered hopes and fears;
A bubble on the wave
A shade, composed of smiles and tears,
A pilgrim to the grave!
A barque upon the waters tossed,
-z<RhA
All! such is life!
And what is death? A dreaded doom
To pleasures silken slave;
Who fears to sleep amid the gloom
That wraps the silent grave,
10 quit the scene of earthly joys,
Oh, who would yield his breath?
Resign ambitions gilded toys,
TO welcome death?
The soul that feels affections pang,
To life's dark ills a prey,
Soars to the source from whence it spran
And spurns the cpmbrous clay.
No more may ~terrors shake my breast,
Or waste my feeble breath
Death rocks the cradle'of our guest,
Then welcome death

CHICAGO, August 14.-There is a
rumor here, considered reliable, Of a
heavy bank-robbery at Kewauuee, Ill.
A Morning News Kewaunee, ILL.,,
special says: This afternoon two men
called at the First National 6ank Of
this city and asked permission to leave
a sachel short time. About six
O'Clock, while Cashier Pratt and lady
named Miss Palmer, were in the bank
the two men knocked on the door and
asked for the sachel. Miss Palmer
opened the door, when one Of the meu
grabbed her by the neck and choked
her nearly insensible. The other man
rushed by her toward the vault, near
which Pratt was standing and struck
him on the head with a revolver,
knocking him senseless. Pratt aud
Miss Palmer were then forced into
the vault. The men then secured
about $40, 900, of which $4,000 was in
gold, and walked out Of town. Pratt
and Miss Palmer, after working over
an ho1r, succeeded in breaking the
lock and released themselves. Both
are badly injured. Parties are scour-
ing the country in every direction.
No result up to midnight.
@KEwAUNE, ILL, August 15.-The
bank robbers were seen this morning
near Mineral, ILL.,, and parties are in
hot pursuit, with every puspect of ar.
resting both men before night. Over
three hundred men are scouting in
every direction. Mr.. Pratt and Miss
Palmer are in bad shape to-day, Miss
Palmer being badly bruised, feverish
and prostrated by excitement. The
business houses and shops are all
closed, their owners joining in the
chase.
