southern Cotton Mills.
New York Herald, 10.


According to the Commercial aud
Financial Chronicles figures, tie
amount Of cotton used BY Southern
mills during the year ending Septem
Der | was 1871, 900 bales. This shows
that the consumption Of cotton IN the
South has considerably more than
doubled within the past four years,
and that it is more than 10000 bales
larger This season than il was last
The figures Furthermore show that In
recent years the consumption has in
creased at a far greater rate In South
ern than in Northern mills.
These facts are proof that the South
Is making rapid strides 10 the manu-,
Acture OF It's great staple. The pros
perity already attained has given a
lively impetus to the construction OF
new mills In various quarters aud the
enlargement. Of the capacity Of old
ones. In doing this the Southern
States are simply developing a. indus
try for which they have peculiar nat
ural advantages. They have II in
their power to make the South q great
cotton manufacturing center, and II is
a matter for national congratulAtion
that they are moving with encourage
ing progress In that direction.

A NEW GRAPE FROM CHINA.-A vege-
table grape is attracting attention and
creating uneasiness among the vineyard
men of California. 1t is certain to come
in rivalry with arboriferous grapes that
have, since the earliest ages of the world,
monopolized wine making. Some six
months agothe American consul at Saigon,
Cochin, China informed our government
that a wild herbaceous grape was found,
covering an extensive tract of remote
wilderness, and bearing grapes like our
vineyards. The Sun, almost alone, noticed
it with comments. Now comes authoritative
confirmation, accompanied with details
and with seeds for distribution. They
are sent by the agricultural department to
California, with request that they be
planted, and with faith Of successful
rivalry with our arboriferous vines. The
cultivation of this tuberose annual vine is
rapidly becoming general in the country.

best Burgundy, and the wine as delicious
as prime Bordeaux. The plant dies

the seed to terminate. The vine is cult.

is to propagate by shoots, Of which the

VALUABLE PRIzEs.-Nothing is more
remarkable than the unusual interest
which has been taken in Astronomical
matters by the American public during
the past two years. To such an extent
has this been true that hundreds of people,
who formerly felt little pleasure in the
subject now possess their telescopes and
search the heavens nightly. Desiring to
still further encourage this most laudable
ambition, offer two hundred dollars for
each comet discovery made during the
present year. subject to the following
conditions:
1. 1t may be discovered either by
telescope or the naked eye, bu. must be

The Boston Traveller thus comments on
the execution of Mrs. Meaker: 1.-THE
hanging of woman in Vermont yester-
day CRATES harshly upon the highly refined
sensibilities Of the age. And yet if ever
woman deserved TO suffer on the soaffold
the Meaker woman assuredly did. If she
had killed an adult under ordinarily
atrocious circumstances, it is probable
that she would not have been hung, but
the murder of helpless, motherless
child, under circumstances of such utter
heartlessness and cruelty, literally cut her
off from the sympathies of all but the
most morbid of sentimentslists. We do
not like to hear of a woman on the
gallows, but then we are not likely 10
