A Trick Played by Gen. Toombs,
Atlanta Consultation.

Perhaps the only time when Gen. Rob.
ert Toombs permitted any speaker to
have the conclusion on him was when
he had discussion with Hon. james
Gardner, editor of the Augusta Consti.
tutionalist. Before Toombs made the
agreement for Gardner to conclude he
espied an organ grinder and his monkey
near by. He bargained with him to
commence playing as soon as he (Toombs)
got through. Gardnerarosc to reply and
the organ grinder began. The crowd
commenced TO gather around him. The
monkey got away and ran up a tree
The Italian put down his organ and tried
to shake the monkey out. The monkey
would grab the tree and shake it too
This scene completely attracted the au,
dience and provoked the utmost hilarity
Gardner left the platform in disgust al
being eciipsed by monkey.

Here is balmy little thing
To nll your heart with Joy;
But as it is a song of spring
send 1t by boy.
THE POEM,
The vine on the cot Ia blowing.
The nest is built in the tree.
And the apple limbs are showing
Their blooms in the fragrant lea.
The bird to his mate IL singing,
The lambkin skips on the hill,
And the rosy clover's springing
Beside the gurgling rill.
Sir Strephon his love is signing,
The cricket begins to chirp.
And the boy in the back yards tying
The can to the brindled purp.
Above the lake in the hollow
That mirrors cloudless sky
Is,darting the airy swallow
And the purple dragon-fiy.
The bumble-bee In the garden
Runs riot the livelong day.
And Maud in her Dolly Warden
Plucks flowers along the way.
Sir Strephon his love is signing,
The cricket begins to chirp,
And the hoy in the back yards tying
The can to the brindled purp.

The Cotton Crop in NOvember-The
Effects of the DrOught-The Indicated
Size of the Years Yield.

The Cotton Crop in NOvember-The
Effects of the DrOught-The Indicated
Size of the Years Yield.
The November cotton report to Brad-
streets states that the amount of cotton
now remaining in the fields is insignifi-
cant, and on the whole there has rarely
if ever been a crop secured in such fine
order and producing samples of such
uniform excellence. There is an unusu-
ally small proportion of the cotton left in
producers hands for this period of the
year, and while there is an accumulation
at some OF the gins, the crop as a rule
has moved swiftly to market and been
shipped away early. The movement,
favored by the prime weather for
handling and the disposition if not
necessity of planters to market crops
without delay, is free and rapid, and ad-
vices say a comparatively early decrease
of receipts may be looked for. For the
most part small crops, the result of the
drought, are complained of, and the short
age with planters is only partly neutral
lied by the high grade of the crop and the
fact that quite every pound grown is
saved without waste. Tue lint being very
dry the bales are light. Foreign buyers and
their agents have operated actively at
country points.
The indications point to 3, 5,41S,00O bales
as the size OF the crop, the severity OF
the drought having had marked result.
The following table will show the crop
of 1S84-S5 by States, estimated by Brad
StrettS correspondents
