A Natural Monument to Washington.

Among the many monuments to
Washington IS one which every visitor
to the Cape Verd Isles viii remember
as one of the most colossal ana mar
VelOus freaks of natural sculpture in
existence. Along the further side of
the harbOr of San Vicente (the princi-
pal town. rises a bold ridge Of dark
gray volcanic rock, the crest of which
forms an exact likeness of Washington,
lying face upward as If In sleep or
death. The hero large, bold feat
ures. the backward wave OF his hair,
the sweep of his massive shoulders and
the very frill of his shirt are all repro
Guced on a gigantic scale with a 6del-
itV worthy of the stalactite formations
of the Adelsberg GrOttO Of the Nam
moth cave of Kentucky. This strange
monument. sharply outlined against
the deep rich blue of the tropical sky,
is one Of the first objects that meets
ones eye on approaching the island
and presents, with the bOundless ocean
for its appropriate background, q
tableau OF such OverpOWerlng magnih-
eence IS might well drive anysculptor
to despair.-Nel0 York TINES

Webster's Audience OF Two.


Here is a new anecdote Of Webster. 1t was
told by the late Col. Alunford, who WAS at one
time Secretary of the Virginia Common
wealth, and it has never been published:
Col. MunfOrd was in his Office at the State
house one day when a distinguished looking
man, accom- panied by a Dung lady, came in,
and asked If they could see the legislative
cham beers. Col. Munf0rd at once recognized,
from portraits that he had seen, the face Of
Webster, ana wishing To see as much of the
great statesman as possible offered to accom-
pany him through the State House. The
young lady seemed to he a relative of Web
ster. and was very bright and piquant in her
conversation. There was a constant fire Of
clever rCpartee between the two, and when
the party reached the Senate chamber the
young lady. turning to him, exclaimed:
Now, everybody says you are great man
anu can maze 4 speech without any prepara-
ton. | want You to prove it, As she said
this she moved To the rOstrum and took pos
session of the Presidents chair. 1.-THE House
VIII please come to order. The gentleman
from Massachusetts, has the floor Nv eb-
ster." said Col. Munford, relating the incl
dent, nook, as if by instinct, the most favor
able position in the room, SO that his voice
could best be heard, and for ten or fifteen
minutes he spoke with an elOquenCe that
have never beard equaled. He referred TO Vir-
gnia's past, and, abiding especially to her
distinguished sons, he pointed out their pOr-
traits that hung on the walls, and described
their traits in the most beautiful language
Imaginable" Col. MunfOrd frequently told
his friends that 1t was the best speech he
ever listened TO-

SpeculatiOns with Respect to Cotton.
Up to a week or two ago the bears APP
pear TO have had their own way with ref
erence to the reports about the growing
cotton crop 1t was reported as very
good from almost every part of the South,
and those who were interested were not
backward in predicting very large crop.
Every year, it seems, both spectators
and planters need TO be reminded
that 1t is never safe to make any predic-
tons about the cotton crop until it is not
only matured, but housed, ginned and
carried 10 market. Cotton prospects are
extremely eyanescent. 1t may promise a
phenomenal yield one day, and the next
1t may promise nothing that is encourag.
ing.
The first to the middle Of July is always
critical time with the cotton crop. In
tensely not weather, or protracted rains,
or both, which we usually have about that
time, nearly always cause the cotton
plant to throw off very large proportion
Of the fruit, and very frequently cause the
shedding TO proceed TO an extent that
is disastrous TO the crop. If a pretty
good crop is then looked for, the cater
pillar, or, more properly, the cotton worm,
is frequently ready to devour the leaves,
and tender buds, and bolls, and so pre-
vent it from maturing. If floods, and
droughts, and worms fail to destroy the
plant, the September storms may tear
the cotton from the open bolls, and
render it valueless, or fill the bolls
with sand and clay to such an extent as
to make the crop scarcely worth the ex-
pense and trouble of harvesting.
But when cotton has escaped all these
threatening disasters, and is gathered and
safe on the way to market, there may be
wars, or rumOrs of wars, or great de-
preston in cotton goods, which will effect
the price, and the crop may finally not
bring much more than the actual cost of
production. Many dangers threaten cot
ton from the time it is planted until it is
sold, and it is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that there is so much specula-
ton with regard to it.

Gov. Knott, Of Kentucky, appears to be
determined to do all in his power to re-
store law and order in the mountain
counties which have been the scenes of
the recent disturbances and outrages. He
has already sent several companies Of
militia into some of these counties, and
in measure suppressed the outbreak
He has also commissioned Judge Jack
son, who made great reputation a few
years ago when he was sent to administer
the law in Breathitt county, to proceed to
Letcher and other of the more notorious
counties and hold court until the outlaws
are brought TO justice or until the dockets
are cleared. Judge jackson will be sup
ported by special civil officers, and, if
necessary, by the military.
1t appears that there are twelve coun-
ties IN Eastern Kentucky in which the
law has been overridden by ruffians, and
those who would be lawabiding are sub
jected TO system Of terrorism, such as
has seldom been known in any country.
In nearly all OF these counties there have
been no important criminal trials for
years, and there are scores Of cases ofmur-
der and other outrages which cannot be
properly disposed Of even by the able and
upright official designated by the Gov
ernOr without extraordinary powers are
granted by the Legislature. 1t is proba.
bic that a law will be passed providing
that juries may be drawn from the whole
judicial district, instead Of only from the
counties in which the crimes were com
mitted, and allowing the State to have as
many peremptory challenges as the ac
cused In order that the latter cannot 81
easily pack the juries with their friend,
and coniederates.

support the Governor, and the probability
Is that 1t will, there can be little doub

tive from the incompetency Of former off
cials. will be enforced, and order restored

To accomplish this, however. is not IN,
