The Cotton Situation in Missssnni
and Louisiana.

Jas. S. Richardson, the most e1ten.
sive planter in the country, and who
owns immense planta ations in Missi,.
sippl and Louisiana, in a letter to
correspondent at ST. Louis, writes Of
the cotton crop as follows: Il have
some cotton planted the first week in
April, and it is just coming up Ihavs
some cotton with a stalk seven or eight
inches high, with eight or nine leaves
on it, dotted along four or five and six
feet between these stalks, while The
balance of the seed is just sprOuting
This is caused by exceedingly dry
weather. We have had no moisture
to bring the seed up. The land was
broken up wet, and we have had dry
weather ever since. AS a consequence
the land was cloddy and the cotton
planted in the clods, as We had no
rain to melt them and could not wal,
for it before planting, when we were
already SO far behind. N'grOes are
not working well; they are working
but in a don't care sort of way, and
not with a will. Cotton brought
good price and negroes made money
and as they did not spend it as fast as
usual, they have some left and We
can't do any thing with negro with
money. He is in dependent. l am
well pleased with our prospects in
Louisiana. Lnd Is in very much
better fix than in Mississippi We
had no crops over there last year on
account of an overflow, We did
great deal of fall and winter plOv.

ENGLISH AS SHE is WROTE

Miss Mary, aroused by the knells
OF Sabbath's sweet, silvery kbells,
Proceeded in search
OF her favorte chearch
And found it-as history ktells.
And then, as she entered the aisle,
An usher advanced with a smaisle
And showed her apew
That gave her the vew
She wanted-of fashion and staisle.
The preacher he gave out hymn,
And Mary, who sang it with wynn,
Stood up like the choir
So she could admolr
The dresses around her so trymn.
The preacher he prayed in his guise,
And Mary she peeped with her euise
Through the crevices Of
Her dainty kid glof
At bonnets as hiGh-as the skuise.
The preacher a sermon he said,
And Mary kept turning her haid
To see what she could
But those who were gould
Just listened as if they were daid.
The services closed with a psalm,
And Mary she thought, "Well, palm
Quite pleased on the whole
I feel in my wsole
Much better know I'm plain"

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
living improvements on the Farm.


The farmer who changes for the bet
ter either plant lif, or animal life as IL
passes from one generation to another
improves a vital power that extenuS
back toward the birth of the planet no
one knows how far and may extend
into the future with all possible I'M
movements until no future shall exist
Attention is invited to that growing
vitality which has developed so large
u d airy interest in this country ana
Europe from very small beginnings.
In the first, second and third decades
of this century Orange County,
N Y, became famous for its delicious
butter, and by choice selection ana
wise exclusion families of native cows
Of rare excellence were bred, whose
parental blood had great value. A
statement of an Orange County farmer
lies before the writer, and is believed
TO be true, that says, in substance
native COW, eight years old, born on
the farm, made three pounds and two
ounces of butter from the milk secret
ed in twenty-tour hours and drawn IN
two milkings. From March Il 10
April 7, 1888 her milk contained
thlrty-three pounds of butter. The art
of putting heap of butter into cows
milk without harm TO the mother OF
milk is something that farmers may
talk about.
The organized elements that form
butter. sugar and cheese are all or
nearly all, ready for use before di-
cested in the stomach OF the
cow. The vital energy consumed
in changing colton-seed oil or I'm
seed oil in oil cake into butter is small
The expert dairyman or dairymald
makes her cheese curd before the
milk is formed, using the decom-
pounding and reorganizing power OF
God s sunshine for that purpose. The
study of this industry leads up to both
animal and vegetable physiology.
This study has added about four-toId
to the yield of butter per COW for a
years feeding and milking within the
writer's memory. Valuable cows Of
excellent blood have been killed by
overlooking. Treat nature with more
respect, and do not expect a miracle
from either plant life or animal life.
There is usually q little more sugar in
milk than butter, and this sugar ought
to be worth more for human con-
sump ion than TO feed to pigs in whey
or buttermilk.
But how does an Orange County
farmer put 633 pounds OF gilt-edged
butter in cow milk in nine months?
OF course there is plenty OF grass,
sweet, green corn, and as much corn
oil or cotton-seed oil as can be taken
and not taint the product. The COW
that yields three pounds of choice
butter day can hardly be said to eat
butter or drink butter, but she does
the next thing to it. She has deeply
bred taste for rich, fatty cow-feed-a
preterhaturaf growth, which may not
be quite sound or desirable. This
power to form three pounds of butter
in twenty-four hours is the vital
growth of ten or fifteen generations of
butter cows. 1t shows the Importance
of physiology to the farmer All life
is hereditary. Cor. Southern CuAt-

The sun went down and the moon
came up, and still the hog dug
away at the foot of the tree. BY this
time he had an excavation around 1t
big enough for the cellar of corner
grocery, and, as sure as you live
could feel the tree begin to totter. 1t
grew colder and colder, the boar kept
right on digging.
'It's no use," said; ave come all
the way up into this Canada wilder
ness to be made hog feed Of might
Just as well have been born beech
nut, for this boar is bound to have a
meal on me, any way"
Then l fell to wondering whether
the brute would leave my bones, SO
the boys might happen to find them
and take them home and bury them.
1t got to be eight o'clock. | think l
was then on the verge of insanity, for
Imade up my mind that l would just
let myself down out of that tree and
have p round or two with that boar
any how So | began to let myself
down. had my hanls on the lower
branches when the hog interfered.
He gave y snort that almost shook the
tottering tree TO the ground and raised
upon his hind feet to meet me half
way If | was crazy, this movement on
the part of the boar quickly effected
cure, for got back to the top OF that
tree quicker than any chipmunk could
dive into a hollow log.
I'm just one-half hour more" said
l. 'unless some one comes along this
way and rescues me, I'm goner!
The hog rooted away with unabated
vigor. and his grunts were now plainly
the grunts of satisfaction. The moon
streamcd down and made the scene as
light as day, and as l looked down at
the busy unrelenting hog and bis
work, it seemed like looking down in
deep well. Suddenly the boar
stopped digging. He came up to tho
surface. He stood still as if listening.
After listening for moment he
seemed to be satisfied that his hearing
was not at fault, for with string OF
snorls that made my blood curdle, no
started off on dead run in the direc-
ton of Laurel swamp, that lay OFT to
the right a mile or so.
''What is the matter now?' said |.
frightened more at the sudden mys-
terious departure of the boar than l
was at his presence In less than two
seconds l saw what the matter was.
Out of the brush on the left
of me came tearing and growl-
ing q bear as big as calf He never
stopped, but let himself out the best
he knew how and followed the flying
boar. The whole thing was plain to
me in minute. If a bear has one
weakness about that time of the year,
it is pork. This old fellow was out
looking for a supper of hog meat, and
had nosed this ugly brute. The boar
got wind of the bear, and not caring
10 get in his clutches, if he could help
it, had left me to look after myself,
and made tracks for the swamp.
Whether tho beay- caught up to the
boar or moi, l am not able TO state.
but l know that l dropped out of that
tree in less time than it takes to tell
it, and made all the he eadway for camp
that l could. Igot there at midnight
and found the boys had been out look
ing for me and given me up for lost.

from this poor defenseless girl
a confession like that now taken in
some of the French courts, day after
day, where poor, weak women are
sometimes compelled to confess under
torture worse than that suffered by
the victim on the rack; to virtually
swear that two and two are five, and
that Christ never died on the cross.
This was all gone over bv the gen
tleman who stood before you here this
morning, and who persisted in basing
his argument on this confession,
which wise court would not allow
introduced into the evidence because
1T was dragged out OF the defendant
while she was in the clutches of that
double-dyed scoundrel Darcy, and not
in possession of one of her seven
senses-so terrified was she with the
treatment she had received from him.
On this, | say, he based his argument
instead OF the statement made by the
defendant with al the holy impress
of truth and veracity while on the
witness stand, and bound by her oath
to tell all she knew.
Judge Stephens then went over all
the points of the argument of the as
sistant counsel for the prosecution this
morning, and scored him deeply on
the manner in which he had present
ed his side of the case. Then he
spoke of the pawnbroker, Joseph, re-
siding on Spring street, and stated
that having been in the business
twenty years, he should have known
what the laws are in relation to car
rylng on the business of pawnbroking.
He showed that Joseph took up tie
diamond ring from De Garmo at the
request OF DR.. Harlan, but failed to
show the entry in his books. On Oc-
tober 4th, this same book showed an
entry of $40 more for interest. What
does this show ?" asked the counsel.
1T shows that Harlan paid the inter
est, but it does not show that the ring
was taken out. Now, Barlan died .
few days after and, gentlemen, thai
ring is now in Joseph's place beyond
the shadow of doubt, and Joseph is
now about 5000 ahead and no one i
virtually the wiser for it,"
He was surprised that any man
pretending to be fair minded should
attempt to introduce the evidence OF "a
lot of cattle from the bastile of a police
station, presided over by a set of in
carnate devils, among them the vii.
liam called chief. What to him in his
low groveling lusts was the purity OF
this poor girl; what to him the future
OF young life; what to him the life
and honor of a girl broken in spi il
and heart? If he could not convict
her he knew he would soon become a
leperous outcast in the community
Instinct told him his day was near at
hand and he sent Brady up to bur-
glarize and kidnap her. Tie fact of
the prosecutions weak case and argu.
ment was evidence of her iunocense. :"
Judge Reymert interposir., stated
that he would suggest to Mr. Stephens
that he must have been chit pretty
hard from the way you flutter."
A recess was here ordered until 10
A. NJ. o'day, when Mr.. Stephens will
continue his argument.

A CRAZY NEGRO.

He Creates Little Excitement
at the ;. p. Depot.
The habitues of the Southern Pa.
cific depot were treated Thursday
morning to an incident which, though
distressing in its main features, was
certainly OF humorous nature. Fol-
some days past a negro known as
Sam" and claiming to hail from
Kansas, has made himself noticeable
about the depot and its surroundings
He would sit about in a disconsolate
manner, and when jestingly addressed
by any OF the employees was singu-
larly uncommunicatve. Thursday
morning when the yardmen went to
make up the eastern-bound freight,
Sa was discovered sitting under
meath one of the cars with his legs a.
straddle of the brakebeam.
Come out of tn, re-" said one OF
the switchmen thinking that it was
a case OF a endeavor to steal ride.
mo, sab, | will not" replied the
dusky intruder. "God told me to sit
here, and Use gwine to do his bid
ding"
"What did he tell you to sit there
for?' queried the trainmau.
Well, my wife and family got
killed by one of these trains, and |
don't intend that anyone shall get
hurt by these here cars; I'se gwine
to stay here till God tells me to come
away"
In the meantime Officer Rulo had
arrived on the scene, and in persua-
sive tones endeavored to induce the
darkey to vacate his po ition, explain
ing to him that it was necessary to
send out the lain, and that if he
stayed where he was he would un-
doubtedly be killed. But his en-
treaties fell on stubborn ground, and
the intruder shook his head with
dogged determination. AS a final
resort Officer Rulo told the
fanatic that God had commi stoned
him to tell colored man named Sam
to get off the b AXE beam, but even
this ruse failed, SO it was at last de-
cided 10 remove the obstructionist by
main force. Five or six of the boys
got underneath the car, aud after a
hard struggle they succeeded in re-
moving Sam from his perch, and
placed him in the charge of Officer
Rulo. An attempt to convey him to
the police station resulted in another
violent resistance, but he was finally
overpowered and conveye to the
County Jail in an express wagon.
