King Corn.

Before the Civil War cotton Was regarded

product 30 large portion ~ Il was eH'
ported that In great part Il paid for our i'm
ports OF merchandise, hence II was Raid that
cotton was king, Hut although still ono OF
our most important national products, Il h
surpassed IN yalne Of late years not only by
wheat aud corn, but by hay. Last year, the
value Of our cotton crop was about S226,
coo OOO. that Of the wheat crop was $3.50
00O, OOO, while tho value Of corn summed
up the enormous total Of O,OOO, 900
This year We shall have the largest corn
crop over grown, probably 1000, 900, 900
bushels, while Il IL supposed We shall have
fully 1000. 600 bales Of cotton. The mon
oy value Of these products may not be much
larger than those Of last year, because OF
the increasing purchasing power Of the gold
unit, but the abundance of those crops will
give employment 10 our railroads and will
enlarge the profits Of all who deal in them.
Although our wheat crop is less than II was
last year, nature on the whole has been
prodigal. II there IL suffering anywhere

Sei'ofnla OF the Lungs Relieved.

/ am now 50 years old, and have
suffered for the last fifteen years with
q lung trouble Several members of
the family on my mothers side of
the house had died with consumption,
and tho doctors were all agreed in
their opinion that / had consumption
also. had all the distressing symp-
toms of that terrible disease. l have
spent thousands of dollars to arrest
the march of this disease; Ihave en-
plvyed all of the usual methods, not
only in my own case, but in the treat
ment of other members of my family,
but temporary relief was all that / OBJ
tanned. I was unfit for any manual
labor for several years. BY chance L
came into possession OF pamphlet
on /" Blood and Skin Diseases" from
the Office Of Swift Specific Co, Allan
tn, Ga. A friend recommended the
use Of Swift's Specific, claiming that
he himself had been greatly benefited
by its use in some lung troubles. L
resolved to try it. About four years
ago 1 commenced to take S. S. S. &C
cording TO directions. I found it an
invigorating tonic, and have used
about fifty bottles. The results are
most remarkable. My cough has left
me, my strength has returned, and L
weigh sixty pounds more than l ever
did in my life. 1t has been three
years since I stopped the use of the
medicine, but l have had no return of
the disease, and there are no pains or
weakness felt in my lungs. l do the
hardest kind of mechanical work, and
feel as we'll as l ever felt since l was
boy. These, I know, are wonderful
statements to make, but / am honest
when I say that 1 owe my existence
and health to day to Swifts Specific.
1t is the only medicine that brought
me any permanent relief. I do not
say that Swifts Specific will do this
in every case, but most positively
affirm that it has done this much for
me, and l would be recreant to the
duty owe to suffering humanity if I
failed to bear this cheerful testimony
to the merits of this wonderful medi-
cine. 1 am we'll known in the city of

New and important Developments at

IN that section, and they boast that Gala
veras is bound to be the biggest mining
county in the State.
Reports from Paradise, New. are to the
effect that the Paradise Valley mill is run
ming steadily and the company's mines are
looking well. The Paradise Valley mine
IS said to be looking better than ever be-
fore in the lower levels
W. H. Davis has struck q rich body of
ore on bis claim on Cedar Flat. above Ger

been found near this ledge, but the place
from whence it came had never been found

spot: The ore is rich brownish red. and
specimens which were shown US were com
pietely covered with pure native silver one

1t is safe to say that the OUTPUT of gold

snow OF last winter melted gradually, the

The COUNTRIES Prnrresa

The following statistics show the growth
OF the country since the year 1860:
Twenty-Five years ago We were &c, 0G0, 900
OF people; now we are over 50,000.00O
Then We had III cities and towns of over
5000 inhabitants: now we have 2S6 of such
cities and towns. Then the total population
OF our cities was 5000, 600; now it is about
100000.
Our coal mines then produced I4,OO0, 900
tons, now s5,0QQ,000 tons, or six times as
much
The iron product amounted to 5000
tons of ore; to-day it foots up over $780,
900 tons year, almost nine-fold increase.
In 1850 our metal industries employed
about $1,000 hands, consumed 100000. 600
worth of material, and turned out about
Sl60000,000 in annual products To-day
these same industries employ 500, COO hands
consume S3S0,000000 of material. and their
annual product amounts TO $3.50, 100000
year
In 1869 the wood industries employed
10000 persons; to-day they employ $40
600 while the value of their annual product
has trebled
The wooden industry employed 10000
persons then, and now employs 100000.
while our home mills which produced
goods of the value Of $S0000,000 in 1860,
now turn out an anndal product worth
5000 600
Finally there is cotton. In 1860 we i'm
ported 227 100000 yards of cotton goods;
in 1880 we only imported 10000, 600 yards
In the meantime the number of hands en-
ployed in American cotton mills has in
creased to 100000, and We export over
100000 yards of cotton goods year.
instead OF importing 227, 100000 yards as
we used to do
The silk industry employed 5000 per-
sons, now 1t employs 81, 900, seven times as
many.
We import no more silk goods now than
we did in 1880, but our own mills, which
produced goods Of the value Of $4,000, 900
then, now turn out product of over $40,
000G00 yearly.
In 1850, Il, 900 persons were employed in
American pottery and stoneware works; to-
day about $1,000 are employed in this in
dustry.
The chemical industry, which employed
6,0OO persons then, now employs 80, 600.
In the~meantime We have nearly five
times as many miles OF railways. and
double the number of farms. and Welding
more than double the number of bushels
of cereals.
In the production of sheep we had p, =
100000 Of them in 1860 today we have
over 100000 Of them; and whereas we
then produced in this country co, 000, 600
pounds OF wool, now we produce 240, Co.,
900 pounds.
Finally, the total Of our exports has
doubled. In 1860 it stood at 500, 100000,
and now II stands at about $500 O00, 000.-

rENNrsoN,s LATEST POEM.

The ITdcpeadeat has received by cable from
London the following poem, which was writ
ten by Alfred Tennyson on the marriage OF the
Princess Beatrice:
Two suns Of Lore make day of human life,
Which else-and all its pains and CRIES. and
deaths
We're utter darkness: one the sun Of dawn
That brightens through the mothers tender
eyes.
And warns the childs awakening world and
one
The later-rising sun OF spousal love,
Which from her household orbit draws the
child
To move in other spheres The mother weeps
Az that white funeral of the single life
Her maiden daug hter's marriage; and her tears
Are half Of pleasure, half Of pain. The child
Is happy ever IN leaving her. But thou,
True daughter, whose Gll-faithful, flial ewes
Have seen the loneliness Of earthly thrones,
Wilt neither Quit the widowed crown nor lei
This later light OF love have risen in vain,
But, moving through the mothers home, be-
tween
The two that love thee. lead q summer life
Swayed by each love, and swaying to each love
Like some conjectured planet in mid heaven
Between two suns, aud drawing down from both
The light and genial warmth Of double day
