Vanderbilt on Gould.

Old Commodore Vanderbilt had an
uncommonly good knowledge of men.
By his skill in physiognomy and his
aptness in some other matters he ac-
cumulated a fortune of S100,000,006
Here is what he said of Jay Gould in a
public card written on the Goth of Now,
1872:
Il have had but one business trans
action with Mr.. Gould in my life. In
July, 1868, sold him a lot of stock for
which he paid me, and the privilege of
a call for a further lot, which he also
settled. Since then ] have had nothing
to DO with him in any way whatever,
nor do mean ever 10 have unless il be
to defend myself. i have besides al
WAYS advised all Inv friends to have
nothing to 60 with him in any business
transaction. / came to this conclusion
after taking particular notice of his
countenance.'
Gentlemen Who now have, or intend
to have business transactions with Mr.
Gould should ponder the wise old
commodore's vords.-N. ]. SIN.

He Remembered.

This anecdote is told of the late
Commodore Vanderbilt:
At Saratoga, on one occasion, when
sitting on the piazza of hotel, a
somewhat overdressed lady approached
and claimed his acquaintance. The
commodore rose and talked affably
with her, while his wife and daughter
shifted the air with scorn. Father,
said the young lady, as the commo-
dore resumed his seat, didn't you
remember that vulgar Mrs. B as
the woman who used to sell poultry to
us at home?" Certainly" responded
the old gentleman promptly, and !
remember your mother when she used
to sell root beer at three cents a glass
over in Jersey, when 1 went there
from Staten Island peddling oysters
out of my boat" AS this homely re-
ply was heard by group surrounding
the family, there was no further at
tempt at aristocratic airs on the part
of the ladies during that season.

The acreage in Texas in 1882 is
given at 2,810,113. 1t will be seen
we lead the list i'll area, in cultivation
we did last year, and will this in
the number of bales sent to market.
Last year Georgia planted 2,844,S05
acres, or 1892 more than Texas,
but this year we beat Georgia, the
next highest on the list, by 172,174
acres. The increase of Texas acreage
this year over last is 2S4,819 acres,
that of Georgia 71,577. Whilst
Georgia has perhaps reached it's max
imum, or will make no extraordinary
advance at least beyond the present
point, Texas has scarcely written it's
initial chapter in the cultivation of
cotton. Its soil is competent to pro-
duce the present total crop of the
United States, or double it for that
matter, if the wants of the world so
require, and, too, without calling up
on the Islands of the Pacific or bone
mills of New England, :or manufac-
turers of quack soil nostrums gener-
ally, for one ounce of assistance.
Were the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States to abandon it entirely,
Texas would quickly learn to feed the
looms of the world with all they could
consume or ali their customers want.
AS it is raised cheaper here than any
where where guano is used by exactly
the cost Of guano what, will the ul-
innate result be?
It always seemed strange and mex
plicable that a Georgia cotton planter
sticks to lands upon which he an
nually expends from 81 to $50 per
acre in commercial fertilizers when in
two days run by rail he could get
into country which produces from
twice to four times the number of
pounds without any manure at all,
and, moreover, sells for ] to 1 cent
per pound more in every market on
earth, on account of longer and bet
ter staple. The solution is only
found in the natural love of man for
the grave of his grandmother. Even
Mark Twain subscribed dollar to put
monument over the grave of Adam
more than we would give.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT HAIR.

(Dr. Wilder IN the Medical Tribune.l
Whother the hair should be cut

wounding. aud there 10 some sort OF
bleeding in conseq .ence, and waste of
vital force. l think il will .bo fOnnd
that long lived persons most frequently
wear the hair long.
The cutting OF the hair stimulates to
a new growth TO supply the waste.
Thus the energy required TO maintain
the vigor of tho body 10 drawn OF t.
make good the wauton destruction. 1t
is said. know, that after the hair has
grown 10 n certain lenght it loses Its vi
lalfty at the extremity, and splits or
