The continued rains of late have
caused the cotton plant to grow
very rapidly, and its average size
is fully one-third larger than the
average for this time of the year.
Weeds and grass have also grown
immensely, as a matter of course,
but the cotton got such splendid
start before the rains commenced
that it will not be materially hurt,
and its vigorous growth makes it a
comparatively easy job to get rid
of the grass with proper cultivation.

Talmage ON Heredity.

The battle over, behold tab
leau: King Saul sitting, little David
standing, his fingers clutched into
the hair of decapitated Goliath.
As Saul sees David standing there
holding in his hand the CHASTITY,
reeking, staring trophy, evidence
Of the complete victory over Gods
enemies, the King wonders what
parentage was honored by such
heroism, and in my text he asks
David his pedigree: "Whose son
art thou, thou young manY" The
King saw what you and / see, that
this question Of heredity is a
mighty question. The longer !
live the more I believe in blood
good blood, bad blood, proud blood,
humble blood, honest blood, thiev-
ing blood, heroic blood, cowardly
blood. The tendency may skip 9
generation or two, bat it is sure te
come out, as in little child you
sometimes see great similarity te
a great-grand-father whose picture
hangs upon the wall. That Tho
physical and mental and mora
qualities are Unbeatable is patent
to any one who keeps his eyes open
The similarity is SO striking some
times as to be amusing. Grea'
families, legal or literary, are APP
to have the characteristics all dowr
through the generations, and whar
is more percepttsle in such fami
lies may be seen on smaller scale
in all families.

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Thursday, Feb. 14-p m.
Late this afternoon it was announced that the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Com
panv had declared dividend on its stock of per
cent for the quarter. This or no othe- amount oil
dividend is warranted by the company current
earnings as they are reported. 1t is DRAFT on
the company's surplus. and will be paid without
increasing the companyS debt There IS not
room to doubt if the financial result of the COM
pany's business in SoS had been due to natural
causes instead Of to gross. if not wicked. mis-
management that the dividends would have been
maintained on the per cent basis. The company
bad accumulated surplus from earnings which
was subject to draft for the benefit of stockholders
during the last two years of commercial depression.
But it was not commercial depression that made
the net earnings of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy in 1855 $500. 900 less than in SS7 and
S7,10O,O00 less than in 1886. 1t was the adoption
of a rule or ruin policy. And the stockholders of
the Burlington and Quincy have suffered more
from it than those of any other railroad if we
except the common stockholders of Chicago. Nil
