Times Democrat: Interviews pub
lished this morning with a number of
bank officials, substantiate the claim Of
The Times Democrat that the crops now
being raised in the region tributary to
New Orleans have been produced at less
cost than for years past. The factors
have been very conservative and have
advanced little money, but this is not
the only cause Of the cheap crops. The
planters called for less money than
usual and needed less because every
item Of expense in the cultivation of
their crops, food supplies, agricultural
implements, labor, ETC., was far below
the average Of previous years. Mr..
Oglesby estimates the difference in cost
at 40 per cent; in othe1 words $50 went
as far toward producing crops this year
as 500 usually does, and he is probably
not far from the correct figures. Even
with poor crops, therefore, this would
leave good margin of profit.
The Southern farmers have been get
ting themselves well out Of debt during
the past year, as is always the case in
eras Of depression, and are probably in
as good financial condition now as they
have been for long time. Whenever,
therefore, it is considered that they are
borrowing less money this year, are
producing the crops at less cost, and
are promised unusually good yields, il
is evident that they will have more
net cash the coming winter, when the
cotton and sugar are marketed, than fol
years past.

Times b-mtcrai. TIE Naiicall Cot
taaIlanlas Association has determined

sizlss. ana faE dis purpose uin sEsf
premiums b ths sum Of s200,000, to Be
given iUo years hence, or in the crop
year lSS6-lSS7, this das nsiios being
made 81 order 10 enable farmers 70 give
ths subject ample consideration and
experiment
The line q premiums vii include
everything bearing upon farm matters
adapted to the Southern States, such ss
model gin houses, steam and horse pow
er (as nearly FIRE proof Is Possible),
barns, stables, fences, gates, ETC.; for
the best one acre each OF cotton and all
kinds Of grains and grasses, potatoes,
peas and turnips; for the best gin stands,
presses and ether machinery and i'm
plements Tor the farm, including cotton
choppers, ,piekers and harvsters, drain
ing machines, ditehing machines, fertil-
izers, etc.
Nothing at all on this scale has ever
been attempted. In Georgia there
have been several very interesting con-
tests over the production Of cotton in
duced by prizes offered by manufactur-
ers Of fertihsers, which contests have
resulted in great good by showing the
degree OfprOductiyeness to which South
ern land can be brought by careful
cultivation.
The proposition of the National Cot
ton Planters Association win do on a
grand scale what has only hitherto been
feebly attempted, and viii be of i'm
mense benefit to the South. In the
meanwhile, suggestions are cordially
invited by the association from all, how
to accomplish the best results with this
plan.

Hard Times.

Speaking Of hard times, Hermit, {"
in the Troy Times, says he finds by ref
erence to the past that they have been
much harder-for instance, prior to the
Revolution the professors of Harvard
received their salaries chiefly in produce,
this being the only way in which many
Of their students could pay tuition. In
Virginia the clergy were paid in tobacco,
and Of course were unable to preach
against chewing and smoking.
When the Revolution began Congress
began issuing paper money, and eventu-
ally $4,000, 900 war currency was Circu-
lated, most of which became worthless,
though afterward redeemed. A barber
shop in New York was ornamented with
continental money pasted over the walls.
Robert Morris, Of Philadelphia, wai
the first to establish permanent cur
rency. He lent his private fortune tc
Congress, and this enabled Washington
to capture Corvallis. He founded tn,
bank Of North America in 1882, and thi
was the beginning Of our present fnan
cial system. The entire wealth Of Amer
lea at that time was not as much as til
capital Of one of our leading banks
Hence if times be hard at present, wha

Cheap broad-brimmed hats Of rough

White and very light toilets are now
the best evidence Of distinction and the
refinement which accompanies cultiva-
ton.
Almost all the new Paris toilets, and
principally those Of elegant materials,
recall the pictured costumes of forty or
fifty years ago, in the time Of Louis
Philippe.
The lace overdress grows more and
more popular. Every fashion plate has
new pattern Of one. White lace, with
flOunces nearly all the way up the skirt,
is very fashionable over colOrs.
Closed drawers of white muslin are
worn by small boys with their summer
kits. Some mothers add short skirt Of
heece-lned pique or of thin flannel, but
these make the kilt skirt hang badly.
A pretty fashion in bed furniture
comes from Austria. There is an inser-
ton of wide lace sewed on to one end o.
the pillow-case, and these ends are laced
together with a silk cord or ribbon. The
pillow underneath is faced with bright
silk, which is seen through the lace.

I was Citing my first lesson In human
life, and could make nothing Of it.
81 WISH" went on Mrs. Oldcourt, lay
ing one of her white, soft hands on my
brown, rough little paw, II had a girl
like you to live with me,-a girl who
would always be fresh, and strong, and
gay, and helpful. I would make a com
panion of her, and love her dearly-that
is, if she would love me. Could not You
come, Patience?'
I felt my childish brain in a whirl, and
could only stammer out that I did not
think father would let me go.
"Ah, well, I suppose not" said Mrs.
Oldcourt, with a sigh; "but | should have
liked it. Anyhow, Patience, I like you,
and you must not forget me-"
| had not time to make any answer to
this, for at that moment the Squire and
my father came back into the room.
Juliet" said the Squire, anxiousIy,
are you tired?"
"No, DEAR" replied Mrs. Oldcourt
" not more so than usual. Mr.. Hartray,
your little girl has entertained me won
derfully."
"My father bowed with the grave, old
fashioned courtesy which he always showed.
You are very kind" he said, "but your
kindness has kept us here, l am afraid,
quite too long. Come, PATIENCE"
"Stay," said Mrs. Oldcourt. 81 am
not going to be behind my husband in
anything. He has given you the silver
aagon, | will give you this" And hastily
christening a blue ribbon from her neck,
to which hung a little locket, she oeckoned
me towards her. My father, however, held
me back.
MY daughter is not used to such
things, Mrs. O]dcourt," said he; pray do
not inspire her with the love of them"
"What!" exclaimed Mrs. OIdcourt,
"you will not let me give her a keepsake?"
eff it is only a keepsake" said my
father, smiling, 81 will venture to say my
Patience will value the ribbon as much as
the trinket."
Mrs oIdcourt hesitated, and then, with
a sort ofchildish petulance, tossed herhead,
and drawing the locket off the ribbon held
out The latter.
"Thcre,o she said; have given you
my %colors, Patience, now you are my true
and trusty slave" And she laughed a
sweet, ringing childish laugh.
