Cotton Production i'm China.


China occupies quite prominent place
at the New Orleans cotton exposition as
an exhibitor of cotton and cotton fabrics.
The Chinese government was under the
impression that the exposition was to be
devoted almost entirely to cotton, and
hence, in preparing its exhibit, it gave its
chief attention to cotton manufactures.
The exhibits are from various parts of
China. There is no crop so generally
grown in that country as cotton. 1t is
produced in very nearly all the provinces
Of the empire. AS the methods of Guilt
waiting cotton and Of handling it after it
is gathered, are very different from those
that are employed in this country, a
brief description of them may not prove
uninteresting.
There does not appear to be any definite
information about the period Of the intro
duction Of cotton into China. 1t is agreed,
however, that it is very remote. The
most important cotton producing prov
inces are Kwangtung, Chekiang and
Kiangsu. The soil and climate in the
vicinity of Shanghai appears to be espec-
tally adapted to the staple, and there it is
grown with great success and extern
sivelY. One of the commissioners of
China informed a representative of the
Times Democrat ''that sowing takes place
about the end of April and is generally
broadcast, though sometimes the cotton is
planted in regular rows. Four persons
can SOW about a fifth of an acre a day,
treading the seed we'll in with the feet.
After the plants have sprung up they are
carefully hOed and weeded, and if the
seed has been sown broadcast, they
are thinned out until they
stand at intervals of about fifteen
inches. When the plants reach the height
of eighteen inches the main stock is often
nipped off to strengthen the branches.
The plant produces flowers and pods until
the end of October; the pods are gathered
as fast as they burst, and spread in the
sun on platform of reeds raised a few
feet from the ground, until thoroughly
dried, when the process Of separating the
seeds begins. The seeds are sold to the
oil maker, who expresses the oil between
two millstones, the upper one Of which is
turned by a bullock or a buffalo. This oil
is used for lighting purposes and for the
manufacture of Cbinese-or India-ink,
which is made from its thin black smoke.
the residue of the seeds, the oil being ex-
tracted, is used as fodder for cattle.
The cotton is prepared for market by
being packed tightly in hemp bags, the
bags averaging 100 pounds each. The
greater part OF the cotton raised never
leaves the farm where it is raised, except
in the,shape Of cloth, all the processes of
cleaning, tlOking, spinning and weaving
being gone through on the premises, the
machinery employed being very rough
and the methods very primitive. In tex
ture and surface foreign cloth is superior
to that of China, but in stability the
China fabric is ahead of much produced
elsewhere"

Our "best people" are setting the ban of
their displeasure against the custom Of in

lines, including guests who may be introduced
to other guests, are very tightly drawn, and
an invitation TO people in good society to visit
them does not by any means involve the
probability Of YOUR becoming known to the
other guests. This is not taken TO mean that
you are not at liberty to ''scrape acquaint-
ance" with any Of the lOrdly guests if YOU
choose TO make the attempt, but simply that
the hostess considers IL no part Of her duty to
impose your mountaineering upon her other
friends. There are some old families here,
the bearers OF re-revolutonary names
and pedigrees. who carry the absurd new
notion to ridiculous extreme. ManyOl these
families are as poor as church mice. and have
no little trouble to scrape along In their

A sore-Eyed Editor Converted

Mr.. Watterson, Of the Courier-J0urRdl,
manages IN one way and another to keep
himself quite prominently before the coun-
try. For a month or more after President
Cleveland was inaugurated there was
some doubt whether the C0urier-.Journdl
would give his administration a hearty
support. 1t was even suspected that Mr..
WattersOn, through the columns OF his
paper, was about to inquire whether the
President was Democrat. Appointments
that some Of the Democratic leaders Of
kentucky wanted made were not made.
and Kentuckians who went to the Wmte
House to demand that corlan ut.,-
should be done came away disaupoipt,a.
II was reported that v.el Kentucky
statesmen were debating among them
selves whether or not they should lead an
attack on the President, Mr.. Watters0n
! was spending a good deal of time at Grey
stone discussing the situation with Mr..
Tilden. Finally Mr.. Watterson made his
appearance in Washington, and the coun-
try was informed that he had called on
the President and that they had got on so
wen together that he was invited to dine
at tho White House.
The President and Mr.. Watterson are
now apparently the best Of friends. Mr..
Watterson has informed the country, in
a dispatch to his paper, which he kindly
furnished 20 correspondents Of other pa
pers, that the Presidents Democracy is
all right, and that the course ne is pur-
suing is the right one, and, perhaps, the
only one that could by any possibility
give satisfaction to the whole country.
There is, OF course, consolation in the
knowledge that the CoWler-J0urRal is
not TO inform the country that the Presi-
ent is not a Democrat, because that
journal has considerable influence in the
whisky-produclng districts.
II would, doubtless, be unjust 10 MIR.
watterson 10 hint that the mention Of his
name in connection with the Russian
mission had anything TO do with clearing
away the doubts about the Presidents
loyalty to the Democratic party, which. it
is believed, at one time formed a lodg-
ment in his unsuspicious and evenly ball
anced mind. Several Kentuckians, it is
true. have had the honor OF rep
res1nting this country at St. Peters
burg. but no one Of them had the
control at the time of their appoint
ment Of an influential newspaper Mr..
Watterson could no more afford to take
the Russian mission than Mr.. Howell
could afford TO take the Manchester con-
sulsbip. II is fair TO assume, therefore,
that the friendly feeling which Mr.. Wat
terson now entertains for the President,
and about which he has told the

Disappointed worsbipers.

The President did not attend church Sun
day, somewhat to the disappointment of a
number of strangers who were present at Dr..
Sunderlands church. Miss Cleveland being
out OF the city there was no representative OF
the executive household there. All the pews
IN the church were occupied, but the service
did not have as much interest for the strang-
ers present as if the President was there. In
the afternoon the President, accompanied by
Postmaster General Villas, took a long walk
turning, they came back by way of Connect
cut avenue. The President was kept busy re-
turning salutations. He cOurteously raised
his hat to all who were accompanied by
ladies, though gentlemen unaccompanled by
ladies only received slight nod.

Harriet Lane and Miss Cleveland.

LctLcF.
A brief visit was paid this week by Mrs
johnson, Of Baltimore, who, as Miss Harriet
Lane, presided in the White House for her
uncle, President Buchanan. to her old friend
Mrs. Hornsby, whose father, Judge Black,
was then Attorney General. When it was
mentioned on Tuesday evening TO Miss Cleve-
land that Mrs. Johnson. the only other I'M
married lady Except a Presidents daughter)
and who, like Miss Cleveland, did so for a
bachelor Democratic President, was in the
city, she said eagerly. "Oh. I must see her; of
course shall see her, But naturally, to one
so desOlate as the beroavCd Mrs. johnson now
is. having no near relative living, and having
within the past three years buried her hus-
band and their only two chidren-promisin
sons-a visit to the Executive Mansion, where
she has reigned as social queen, would be too
eXqulsitely painful for any one to suggest t to
her, so it is hoped that She may be able to
meet MS Cleveland elsewhere when she
comes here for longer stay than she did this
week.

There is nothing new under the sun, and
not even the modern inventor Of artificial
teeth can claim the honor OF having been the
first to supply gap-toothed humanity with
the subtest of mastcatiOn knives. This has
recently been proved by Italian antquarians,
who have discovered false teeth in a skull
which has been eXcavated in an ancient
Etruscan cemetery with many other curiosi-
ties at present safely slowed away at the mu-
scum OF antiquities at Corneto, in Tuscany.
The sepulchre out of which the skull was
