NOTES.
The Boston Traveller says: "Mrs Annie
Louise Cary-Raymond recently said to a
friend that when the history of musical art
in America was written it is to Adelaide
Phillips that the highest rank as an artist
will be assigned. Mrs. Raymond gave as
reasons that not only had she a glorious aud
almost Incompatible voice, but that to this
supreme endowment she added great dra-
matte power, and that she would have been
distinguished in histrionic art alone. even
had she not been SO in lyric art This is
very generous and noble in one great artist
toward another, and is but typical instance
of the sweetness of spirit, the generous and
beautiful feeling that always characterizes
Annie Louise Cary"

The Militia Championship.
Captain Hartnett of the Montgomery
Guards says:
''The Portland Cadets cannot live forever
on their past record and they have not any
mortgage on the championship OF tne militia
on account of anything their predecessors
may have done IA or II years ago.. Ii the
Cadets are looking for trouble in the shape
of a competitive drill, they know they need
not go eff Union street to be accommodated
for fun or money. AS for the claim OF the
militia, they haven't any. They are not
part of the militia either active or reserve.
They are college cadets. being supplied with
an instructor from the regular army by the
United States government, and the militia.
being mostly composed of working men, are
not supposed to be able to compete with
them in tina study of military or agricul-
ture."
The following letter from the captain of
the Cadets effectually answers Capt. Hart
nett:

crop was that of 1882, which aggre-
gated value of 1888, 1867, 175; the
total area was 65, $50 $40 acres; to-
tai product, 1, GIT ,O25, 100 bushels;
average price, 48.5 cents per bushel
There is no record of the cotton
crop during the war. and the first
year of which there is a record is
1866, when the crop aggregated g.
154, 476 bales, and the price was an
unnatural one. The most valuable
crop was that of 1873, when it ag-
gregated $312,4 SO, 900 for 3, $50, sos
bales, or about II cents per pound.
The largest crop was that of 1887,
when it aggregated 1920, 2O9 bales,
which was valued at 1921 ,O45, 346,
or about 8h cents per pound. The
crop of 1867 was the smallest, being
1 1851 1888 bales; it's value was $780,
100000, or nearly % cents per
pound. This crop was valued at al
most as much as that of 1887, which
aggregated almost four times as
many bales.
The reports OF aggregates of the
tobacco crop as given by the Depart
ment of agriculture include the cigar
leaf of Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsylva-
MIA, etc. AS this leaf brings a special
price, which is higher than the aver
age OF the Southern crop, it brings
up the general average OF price con-
siderably. For this reason it is
thought best to give the reports of
the Virginia crop, which is of special
interest to the inquirer and forms a
good basis of comparison for the en-
tire Southern and Western crop.
The report only dates from 1866.
The largest aggregate is reported for
1866 and was ia ,4SO,516 pounds,
valued at $15, 683 $50, but OF course
this included great quantity of old
stock that was in store at the close
of the war. During the succeeding
years there was a great falling off.
The largest crop reported for any of
those years as the product of the
year was for 1885, when the aggre-
gate product was 10TH 900
pounds, valued at $7,97O,649, or
about X cents per pound. The
smallest crop was that of 1874, when
it aggregated only $4,000, 900
pounds, and was valued at 81 ,2OO,-
600, Or II cents per pound The
crop bringing the least aggregate
value was that of 1881, when
the aggregate was 77,649,854
pounds, valued at $2,677,9O7, or
less than 4 cents per pound.
