A Church-G Going Dog.

from me IOhkb5 Z OHtDUnGOB.
Minister Tyler owned a large dog named
Watch. and Watch objected very strongly to
being shut up in the house alone while the
family went TO church. He soon learned
what Sunday preparations meant, and often
cOntrived to go TO church himself-much
against Mrs. t. ler's consent.
Every Sunday a series OF manmuvres took
place between the two, in which Watch often
proved himself the keenest. Sometimes he
slipped away very early, and Mrs. Tyler
after having searched for him to shut h m up
would 90 to chu Oh and find Watch sea ed In
the family pew, looking very or We and de-
corOus, but evidently aware that it was too
late now to turn him out.
Some ines he would hide himself until the
fami had all started for church. and would
then follow the footsteps of some tardy
worship er who tiptoed in during prayers.
The minister's pew was very near the front,
and Watch. as if understanding that much

The DingIey PIIotage Bin.

There will doubtless be a very strong
effort made to pass the Dingley bill re-
lating to pilotsge, which has been re-
ported to the House. The bill, as is we'll
known, gives masters and mates OF
American sailing v ssels, employed in the
coasting trade, the right to be licensed to
pilot their own vessels in or out Of ports
if found competent after an examination
by the proper inspectors. 1t relieves such
vessels from the obligation to pay a State
pilot when tOwed up by a steam vessel in
charge OF a United States pilot. The bill
is to go into effect six months alter its
passage.
The report undertakes to answer all
the objections which have been made
against the bill, and takes the ground
that such objections are not well founded.
There is no doubt that the bill would
destroy the present system OF pilOtage. 1t
is true that the bill only applies to Ameri-
can sailing vessels employed in the
coastwise trade, but the pilots claim, and
their claim is doubtless well founded.
that without the fees which are now OBJ
tanned from these vessels it will be impos-
sible for them to earn a sufficient income
to Justify them in continuing in their Oc-
cupation. The result will be an increase
in the number OF wrecks, and consequent
ly in the rates Of insurance. However, all
the arguments against the bill were ably
presented against it when it was before
the committee, and doubtless will be pre-
sented again when the bill is considered
by the House.

The Southern press has not devoted
much space TO comments on the resolu-
lions adopted by the Interstate Agricul-
tural Convention at Jackson, Tenn, last
week. The principal reason for this is,
doubtless, that the advice given the plant
ers OF the South In those resolutions is
exactly what the press has almost unani-
mously urged for the past fifteen years /;
and that large proportion OF southern
I planters have survived the disasters that
/ haye Oyertaken agricultural interests
during that time is due 10 the fact that
the advice Of the press has not been given
in vain.
1t is Of no use for the planters to blame
the spectators. The men who handle
the cotton are probably neither better nor
worse Than other men. Ii the planters
were in their places they would take
every advantage that the middle men now
take, but it IS not true, only ia excep-
tionai cases, that the spectators make
the prices. When it comes to an intelli-
gent analysis OF the market the prices are
seen 10 be- regulated by the great law Of
demand and supply, and II dealers do
O&uoC gu bCCablOnhl uuCtuabiOu WulIA
they profit or lose, they cannot control
the price tor any considerable length of
time.
As an additional incentive to planters
to reduce the area planted in cotton, as
we'll AS the cOst OF producing 1t, it is we'll
that they should be informed as to the re-
quiremeuts Of the trade. The total con-
sumption Of the world OF cotton last year,
according to relIa bic statistics, was 8, A.
600 bales, Of which 6,42O.00O were Ameri-
can. This year the American crop is
estimated at 6 900, 900 bales, which ls said
TO be $4,000 bales more than the world
will need. Suppose the amount of cotton
produced were 800, 900 bales less than the
requirements Of the spinners, what a
difference would IL make in the market,
To MAKE this difference it would only be
necessary for each planter to reduce his
production about 10 per cent. Say each
planter devotes to provision crops the
10 per cent area which is taken from his
proposed cotton crop, this would make a
still greater difference in his probable
condition at the end of the year. 1t would
have a wonderful effect on the indepen-
dence aud prosperity Of our section OF the
Union.
1t is q great deal easier to formulate
plans and theories than to carry them out.
The planters Of the eastern section of the
cotton belt have been cutting down the
cotton area from year to year, but they
have been trying to increase the product
per acre. 1t is fortunate, perhaps, that
the jackson resolutions came from the
great Mississippi valley. The reduction
in the are and production Of cotton must
in future be made principally in the Mis-
sissippi valley and Texas, il anywhere.
1t is doubtful, however, il any material
reduction Will be made as long as it is
possible for planters to conduct operations
ON the same large scale as heretofore.

Several years ago when Bob Ingersoll was

Colonel happened to have as a client young
man and buXOm widow over in Washington,
Tazewell county. The opposing counsel was
the late Jonathan X. Cooper, as stanch
Presbyterian as he was an able lawyer. At
the close Of the evidence Mr.. Cooper arose
and made splendid argument on his side of
the case, closing by saying that his legal op-
pOnent was prejudiced when it came to de-
Tending beautiful women. why" said Mr.
Cooper, ''when Col. Ingersoil gets a chance to

truth of this during the progress Of the pres
