Blissom told his wife that he had headache, and Sam was not pre- pared to doab. the ,yu,hfulness Of the assertion. At breakfast the old fellow seemed to be indisposed. His head was swollen and withzl he had the appearance of man who had lifted too many glasses of cheap whisky.

 Old Blissom turned pale.
 "l see by a cable dispatch that prom inent Englishman has gone raving mad. have heard of many cases of hydropho- bia, but this one beats me. A scientist had discovered that dog hair, set out on the head of man would take root and grow"
 Old Blissom groaned and stared al the young man.
 ..The man tried it." Sam carelsssly continued as he reached over and made '' pass " a. the butter, taking the hair of the family dog. That very day the animal wen, mad and the Englishman has been chained to q tree

 Why, what's the matter :" asked Mrs. Blissom.
 I've go, terrible headache "
 Over work" said sam. A man shouldn', impose on his head.'
 Will you let me take on the bandage and bathe your head :'' asked the anxious wife
 "No," replied the old man.
 '' But you must," Sam insisted. First thing you know you'll have sofiening of the brain. Of course you'll object to having anything done. Sirk men always do. Now, uncle, there's no use talking, we are going to bathe your head

In a husky voice he said that he would call and settle. Then he went back into the house, took down a shot gun and rushed into the dining-room. Sam was gone. Hurrying out into the back yard, tke old man saw Sam leisurely climbing the garden fence. He fired both barrels of the gun, and sam, by this time. suspect ing ,ha; something was wrong, struck a a irot for the country

LOCAL NEWS.
THE FIRE FIEND.

Yesterday afternoon, about 2
o'clock, while the town was crowded
with people, in attendance upon
the election, the fire bell sounded
the alarm and at once a thousand
people were seen pouring down
Lee street, fastening i'll the sup
posed direction of the fire. Even
before the immense crowd had
passed the engine house, the black
curling smoke could be distinctly
seen issuing from among the large
shade trees which told too plainly
that it was Col. Guerry's beauti-
ful little residence which he had
only completed less than a year
ago. The engine was upon the
grounds promptly, and the noble
fremeh did all that mortals could
do, bat how could they do any
thing with such an apology in the
way Of an engine? 1t was evident
to all that the house might have
been saved with a good fire engine,
but as the situation was, every one
realized instantly that the house
was doomed to be burned. After
doing everything that could be
done, there was no alternative left
the gallant fremen but to stand
lilly by and see the house burnt to
ashes. We suppose, after this expe-
rience, it will require no further
words from the Journal to con-
vince the city that better fire
protection is absolutely indispen-
sable. Certainly, we hope not.
The furniture was all saved, but
some, we learn, considerable dam
aged. 1t was a fortunate thing that
Col Guerry had taken the precau-
ton tohave the house and furni-
ture, too, insured. Amount ofinsur-
anco, $1,000. In the meantime
Col. Guorry and his family are
homeless, but we suppose he will
take immediate steps to rebuild.

The Cotton Market.

Cotton opened up a month or
more ago in Dawson at 98 cents.
This was fully as much as was
paid at any time by any Of our
neighboring towns. But during
the past two weeks, cotton has
steadily declined in price until
now it has reached about 81. Why
the price has descended so sud
denly is altogether a matter of
speculation, the views Of men diff
fering widely. Some who claim
to know, assert that it is the over
production of other years begin
ming just now to manifest itself.
Others say that the decline is
brought about 10y the intrigues Of
spectators. Whether either of
these opinions is wholly correct,
Is matter that can not Just now
be mathematically determined. If
the sudden depression in the mar
ket has been brought about by a
combination Of spectators, then,
we may hope to see a change very
soon for the better, but il it is
trae that the mills are shutting
down at this season Of the year as
they claim because Of an oyerstock
OF manufactured goods, then we
can see no signs of hope, however
Tar we may try to dive into the
future. No man knows what the
price of cotton will be a week
hence, and all predictions in that
direction simply amount to specu-
fation and guess work. An imDor-
tant lesson, however, the farmers
should learn: The absolute fick-
leness OF the cotton market and
the uncertainty of predicating any
hope upon the crop as one calcu-
lated to enrich their pockets. We
do not believe, uoder the most
favorable circumstances, that the
price Of cotton viii ever again in
this country reach anything like
ten cents per pound. On the con-
trary, we believe that in the course
of year or more eight cents will
be considered a maximum figure
staple. Hence, it would be wise
upon the part OF farmers, in all
future crops, to regulate theil
ideas and acreage accordingly.
