The receipts of cotton at this port from all
sources the past week were So bales of up-
land, and 3 bales of sea island, against 1853
bales of upland last year.
The particulars of the receipts have been as
follows: Per. Central railroad, 12 bales up
land; per Savannah Florida and Western rail
way, 4 bales upland and 8 bales sea island;
per Florida steamers, IL bales upland; per Sa-
vannah river steamers, % bales upland.
The exports for the week were 437 bales of

land and 73n bales sea island, against 5,506
bales upland and 80 bales sea island last year.
RIcE.-There was a fair business doing dur
ing the past week. but for the most part prices
were somewhat easier. The home trade was
good but out of town orders were slack. There
was fairly liberal offering Stock but there
was no urgency in the requirements
of buyers, and their takings were confined to
actual needs AS the season advances, buyers
seem to gain some advantage particularly as
the stock in reserve is considered fairly large.
The total sales for the week will approximate
1900 barrels.

the Board of Trade. Small job lots are held Is

Oh, what is the love or the hate Of mens
What Is their praise or their blamef
Their blame is breath but an echo of death
And a star that glows bright and is gone
from the sight
All such is the vanishing guerdon Of fame.
Oh, what is the grief or the joy of lifes
What is its pleasure or paing
The joys we pursue pass away like the dew;
And though bitter the grief, time brings re-
lief
To the heart that is wounded again and
again.
Oh what is the loss or the gain of the timer
And what is the success fair CROWN
The gain that we prize--lol it fades and IL
flies;
And the loss we deplore as quickly is Ger.
There is little TO choose 'twixt life's smile.
and lifes frowns.
Oh, men they may love and men they may
hate,
II matters little TO me,
For life is a breath, and hastens death
To gather IN all, from the hut and wall.
10 the home that is narrow--the houss
that is free.

AGood Story Told of a Congressman.

This story about Congressman Frank
Lawler, of Chicago, is printed in the
Ne,cs, of that city, as being told by Amos
j. Cummings, the New York editor and
ex-member of Congress:
"Lawler came to me one afternoon last
winter and said: Cummings, I'm going
to have the Agricultural Department in
vestigated. I've stood things as long as
I'm going to! / shall introduce reso-
luton calling for committee to-day"
II saw that he was pretty mad.
Frank, said |, what's the occasion for
this sudden outburstl Colman is a good
fellow, and his Department generally has
given satisfaction. What can he have
done to offend youl"
"Then Lawler explained that one OF
of his most influential constituents had
written him three times asking him for a
sample paper of seeds; each of these let
tiers was referred to the Agricultural De-
partment, but to none of them had the
Department paid any attention whatso-
ever. When the first came, said Law
ler, Il sent it to the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture with note saying; Please re-
nit The second letter complained that
/ had probably not received the first,
and would 1 therefore not send the seeds
by express at once. This letter l sent
by messenger to the Agricultural Depart
ment, with pretty stiff note intimating
that there were no flies on me. Well,
sir, to-day gets third letter, and my
friend is madder'n fury all about them
seeds-says I've got the big head so bad
l won't pay any attention to letters writ
ten by old friends l was so paralyzed
that l Just indorsed the letter over te
CoIman in these words: IF them seedi
amt sent to-day there'll be a committe,
ON your tracks tomorrow.
"'Tell me, Frank, said /, what ha'
caused all this uproarl What kind OF
seeds did your friend ask forp
"'He wanted mushroom seeds, sale
Lawler, solemnly, and he's going to gel
'em, too, or I'll know the reason why.

But his first assailant was up. He

third man. His courage rose.
They were whirling around, painting
and kicking, each trying to trip the
other, when a newcomer rushed into the
melee. It was the man whose approach
ing steps had been heard.
Dean saw a great red scar burning
over face covered with black hair, and
his courage left him all at once.
The man was Pierre Couteaul
The doctor ceased to struggle, and
dropped limp to the ground. His
antagonist aimed kick at his face with
his boot, that, if it had reached him,
would have disfgured him for life.
At the same instant the doctor saw
something pass between himself and his
assailant like a fash. Pierre Couteau
grappled with the fellow and threw him.
Amazed, Dean sprang to his feet.
"I'll help you'll" Pierre cried in French (;
and be yelled to the other fellows TO
desist.
The poor mastiff had received his death
blow from stone. Dean rushed into
the cabin and brought out his rife. At
its appearance the three fellows sur
rendered and were vaccinated, and
allowed to go on their way.
Then Dean learned from Pierre the
secret of his unexpected behavior. He
had gone from the Moosehead logging
camp to Canada. While he was there,
the smallpox attacked his village. Many
of his friends died; but he, thanks to the
doctors vaccine, escaped with mild
attack of varioloid.
'I have often ask dose saint to bless
de good docteur," he said in his broken
English.
When, on his way back to the States,
he saw his good doctor in trouble, he
was glad to do him q service, and thus
help the saints to answer his prayers.
''Some good luck dat l come long,
n'est-ce- -pas!"
"That's so, Pierre! Can you stay
here with me whilel"
Pierre said he would be glad to stay.
When the delinquent Dan came back
with his partridges, he was dismissed for
disobedience, and Pierre was installed in
his place.
| All through that trying season, Doctor
Dean and Pierre guarded the turnpike in
the woods, and the doctor found in the
Frenchman most tractable and useful
assistant. - Youths Companion.
