She blossomed as it were, for day, withered
and was cut down in the midst of her sunny
hours. During a sickness of two weeks time
she was patient little sufferer, eYincing forti
tude and resignation seldom seen in one of such
tender years. Medical skill and mothers I'M
broken Watchfulness and nursing were unavail-
ing; her hour had come and the dear one was
summoned to the peaceful rest in the Paradise
of God. A stricken household bears testimony
that the idol and flower of the family has in
deed gone from them; 1.-The Lord gave, the Lord

The total receipts and exports of cotton

An examination of these figures cannot
fail to demonstrate the Importance of
Savannah as q port of entry. Vessels
whose tonnage aggregate about 10000
tons arrive each year. Goods to the value
of $780, 600 to$750.000 are landed here from
foreign shores, and we export annually
goods to the value of $50, 100000 and collect
in duties an average of nearly 100000.
1t will also be seen that since the partial
improvement of the river, the additional
depth gained has had the effect to mate
rally increase the trade. The CON-
parisens made above cOnclusively show
that the amount heretofore appro-
priated by Congress for the i'm
provement of the Savannah river
have had the intended effect, and that a
steady and healthy increase of business
has in consequence taken place.
1t would seem that these facts and COM
parsons should be great Incentives for
further and immediate appropriations to
complete the plans of the engineers, to
arrive at depth of % feet, so that the
larger class of vessels can load at the
docks and go direct to sea, instead of be-
ing compelled to complete their loading
at Venus Point and Tybee, nine and
eighteen miles respectively below the
city.

The National Board of Health Show
ing Signs of Life.

The National Board of Health was re-
garded as a defunct Institution after the
adjournment of the last Congress. The
appropriation which it got was only suf-
ficient to pay the expenses of its officers
and members. Without money to carry
out any of its plans or projects, it had no
valid excuse for living. 1t is, however,
proving to be pretty lively corpse. 1t
has begun 4 campaign to recover its lost
ground, and it promises to make the
situation lively for DR.. Hamilton, of the
Marine Hospital Service. To DR.. Hamil-
ton more than to any one else is due the
present impOtent condition ofthe National
Board. He impressed the Committee on
Appropriations of the last Congress
with the belief that there was
no field of usefulness Tor the
National Board. He is a persuasive
SOFT of a man, and his ready tongue
handled facts and figures so effectively as
to make Congress believe that the Marine
Hospital Service could do better and
cheaper what the National Board pre-
tended to do. He managed so adrOitly
that the epidemic fund of 100000 was
turned over to the service, of which he is
the head, to be distributed. He is not to
have an easy time of it, however. The
National Board people are his sworn enc
mics, and they are after his scalp. They
are making charges, and doing other
things calculated to annoy the doctor
There is, however, no occasion for alarm
on his account. There is no man in the
public service better able to take care of
himself. When DIR. Cabell aud Col.
Waring get through with him, it is hardly
probable that they will rejoice in a victory.
If the National Board fails TO get the re-
cognitiOn which it seeks from this Con-
gress, it is probable thai it will drop out
Of SIGHT and out Of existence.

The Agricultural Convention.

The convention of the State Agricul-
tural Association ended last night. A
large number Of the members left this
morning on an excursion to Florida, to
attend the State Fair at Jacksonville, and
others left for their homes. 1t appeared
to be the general sentiment of the men,
bers Of the association that the cOnven-
ton was a great success, and that the
good results that would flow from it
would be very noticeable. The papers
which were read showed marked
ability and careful preparation. The
subjects treated have an interest for
others than those engaged in agricultural
pursuits. The paper of Mr.. Harris on
Technical Education in Georgia." al
though long, is well worth reading. The
question is attracting great attention in
this State, and Mr.. Harris presentation
of it is able, thorough and interesting.
The farmers Of Georgia are, as a rule,
readers and thinkers. Among them are to
be found some of the brightest men of the
State. They keep abreast of the times,
not only with respect to matters pertain
ing to agriculture, but to those relating
to trade, politics and literature. 1t viii

have an opportunity of welcoming the
association in this city again, but Savan-
nah will feel their influence and see their
work all the time in her growing COM

Norway appears to be on the verge of
an important and exciting political crisis.
According to the constitution the Parlia-
ment has the right to pass any measure
over the veto of the King by a majority
vote. A question arose some weeks ago
whether this privilege extended to cOnsti-
tutionaI amendments. The Liberal party
nave passed an amendment to the consti-
tuition over the Kings veto, and he has
attempted TO nuIlify their action, and is
supported by his Cabinet. The Cabinet
officers have been impeached by the Par
lament, and their trial is now in pro-
gress, and it is more than likely that King
Oscar will be depOsed. The Norwegian
in many parts of the United States are
raising funds to sustain the Liberals, and
lively times are looked for at Christiana.

The faliacy of the claim made by the
protectionists that farmers buy iron ties
at . cents per pound and sell them as cot
ton al double the price paid for them, is
demonstrated by correspondent of Cot
ton. Wool and Iron. He gives the Eng
Iish method of determining the tare on cot
ton as follows: ''Cotton bought in Liver
pool has an allowance of two pounds per
bale for double draft; then per cent. is
allowed for tare-that is, bagging-and if
a bale has five hoops, five hoops are placed
on the scales to balance those on the bale.
The total deductions amount to about 6
per cent? The American spinners buy
by gross weight, but the price is fixed by
the English market, the tare, freight, ETC.,
being calculated and deducted in fixing
the price paid for the cotton.
