The first appearance of cotton as an
article of commerce was q shipment of
seven bales from Charleston in 1757.
In 1880 the crop was 100000 bales.

Sows may farrow at sny time if the
quarters are warm and comfortable, but
if the pigs are not properly cared for
they will be checked in growth if the
weather is cold.
Corn burnt on the cob, and the refuse

with marked improvement in their

Carefully prepared statistics of the
public sales of short horns in the years
1881 and 1882, show marked increase
in the price in the last year, being about
$34 per head. The sales in 1881 aver
aged $158 per head, and in 1882 1892
per head. This is encouraging for
breeders.
Some Apple Suggestions.-The buy
ers all want red apples. they say that
they sell best. The fancy for color has
given Baldwins a boom, as they handle
and ship we'll. There is another advan-
tage for the fruit-the tree is hardy and a
constant bearer. On account of its mar
ket value and the hardness of the tree
and strong bearing propensity, in an
/ orchard of 100 trees I wonld plant 75
Baldwins. Too many varieties of fruit
are a nuisance. They make an endless
amount of work. and many kinds, while
they have value for home use, are un
suited for keeping or shipping. They dc
not pay. The Esopus Spitzenburgh i.

A South CAROLINA BOYS Losa NAP
A negro boy, sixteen years old, was
killed recently while packing cotton on
the plantation of Mr.. L. E. Irby, about
two miles from this place, under the fol-
lowing circumstances, So surmised. The
unfortunate deceased was found about
the middle of the bale. It seems that
the packing hands had stopped for din
ner, excepting the said boy, with about
two hundred pounds of cotton in the
press, and it is supposed he lay down
and went to sleep on the said cotton.
When the hands returned from dinner
enough cotton was thrown in to finish
the bale and the screw of the press run
down, thereby crushing the unsuspect-
ing but ill-fated sleeper, whose condition
was accidentally discovered by a small
piece of his coat protruding. II Lawrens-

Since the British occupa tion of
Cyprus very little systematic attempt has
been made to excavate the archaeological
treasures of the soil; but wherever the
ground is probed it yields fruit, and the
result of recent digging on small
scale at Salamis has just arrived at the
British Museum, in shape of consign-
ment of curious small half-round figures
in terra-cotta, for the most part draped
female divinities holding various attri-
butes, and somewhat rudely modelled
according to archaic types, though the
execution itself does not apparently date
from q very early period.

Red duciwg the Tax. Rate.

The City Council last night tried the
pairing down process in he estimated
appropriations for the present year and
succeeded in Topping off enough to re-
duce the tax rate TO Sl.5O on the $lOO.-'
The ordinance, however, could not be
put upon its final passage last night,
and was laid over under the rules -
The difficulty was to find starting
point for pairing down. None OF the
appropriations were too high to meet
the Improvements needed, and hence
the difficulty. But some of them had
to suffer and Council took those it
thought would suffer least. If the ordi
nance passes, the Committee on Open
ing Streets will have to do with $1,000
less, $500 less must be used for paving
sidewalks, $4,000 less for paving beds of
streets, and $500 less for paving
Fourth street between Market and
King. The Committee on Public Build
ings must get a'ong with $500 less,
the Committee on Water Works with
$1,000 less, the Committee on Fire Com
panies with 1000 less, and $4,000 less
for miscellaneous expenses. " 900 has
been Topped from the appropriations for
fuel for the poor during the winter
The latter above all is to be regretted,
for the money spent for charity hides
a multitude Of sh h2rtcomings.
1t is also to he regretted that the ap.
preparations for fire companies had t.
be reduced, for this a IN of the city
government should be made as strong
and effective as possible. But the1
when we go through the whole list VT
find room for regrets that any of the ap
propriations had to be cut down. In
deed, twice as much could be used to a
good advantage. But not to have
changed the appropriations would have
required a tax rate of 81 .65, an amount
far above any tax rate of former years
This tax rate, if collected, would have
, been sensibly felt by the large number
of housekcepers of Wilmington wh'
own their own houses. This is on,
reason why the City Council hesitate,
to enforce the rate agreed upon. Nor
money is needed 10 carry on the cit,
properly and 10 make needed improve
mcnts, but for the present econom!
must be practiced in city government
