The Cotton crop.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The progress OF
cotton planting In May is reported by the
Department of Agriculture. On the first Of
the .month 81 per cent Of the crop was
planted. This is one point earlier than the
average of series of years. Only Virginia,
North Carolina and Florida report planting
slightly later. The percentages are: North
Carolina, IA; South Carolina, SO; Georgia,
81; Florida, "a; Alabama, "a: Mississippi.
50; Louisiana, SO; Texas, go; Arkansas, S6
Tennessee, "a; general average, 81. Returns
generally make the commencement Of plant
ing earlier. In many counties dry weather
has prevented termination, and replanting
became Necessary. Some correspondents
note the fact that an early beginning does
not insure an early ending.
Asplrants for the Turkish Mission.
WASHINGTON. May 10. - Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Batchel-
der finds the duties of his 0 flee more irk-
some than he anticipated when he accepted
the position. He is quite willing to resign
provided he can get another position equally
as good or better, and has announced that
he Is candidate for the Turkish mission
There are quite number of other gentle
men who are also desirous of securing an
opportunity of giving the sultan advice and
information, and they are quite dissatisfied
over Mr.. Batchelder's new aspiration.
Should Batchelder go to Turkey, the yacan-
cy in the Treasury Department thus created
would probably be filled by Mr.. Charles L.
Coon.

SKELETONS IN THE MERRIMAc.

Bones of Two Men Discovered in the
Sunken Confederate Ram.
RICHMOND, Va, March 19.-Private
James K. Bolton, an inmate of the Con-
federate Soldiers Home, near this
city, tells the startling story OF
the finding in the hold of the old
Confederate ram Merrimac, the skele-
tons of two men. According to Bottoms
story he was engaged as wrecker in
1873. The person with whom he was
engaged at that time was employed in
getting the old copper off the Merrimae.
While engaged in this work Bolton says
that on one occasion he dived into
the forecastla of the Confederate
gunboat. There he found the skeletons
OF two men manacled to the floor. He
supposed that they were members of
the crew who were incarcerated for the
violation of some rule of the navy, and
when the craft was sunk were forgotten
by their comrades and went down to
their Waterv graves.

Now: In the Spring of the Year.

During Winter, Nature wisely arranges
that we should live on foods containing
much fat, or, as they are known, hydro.
carbons, for the purpose of supplying heat
to the body; the chemical operation neces-
sary to transform fat into heat is the exclu-
sive work of the liver, and SO during the
time stated it is constantly congested.
With the approach OF warm weather our
diet changes to muscle producing food and
the work OF the liver is much lessened. In
the majority of cases, however, it is rs
unable to completely throw off the excess
of bile but remains congested, causing
that Nsss- lazy, tired feeling which many
have in the Spring months, when the
weather becomes warm.
Ng-This is evidence of an unhealthy
condition, and though people appreciate
the necessity ofa Alternative at this period,
the common idea is to take drastic pills
and produce a cathartic effect, only to
make matters re- worse, The liver
must be unloaded, and its proper action
restored before hot weather, if you wish
to re- preserve health, and if this distinct
call of nature is unheeded serious results
will occur.

bile and lithic acid, and as gsg~ every drop

Bold Attempt of Several Louisville Pris-

Bold Attempt of Several Louisville Pris-
oners to Break Jail.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 20.-The pris-
oners in the jail at Jacksonville mace
a wholesale attempt to escape last even
ing about dusk. Ed Powell, a river pi
rate, had sawed out several bars OF the
large cage which surrounds the cells,
and thus set nearly dozen prisoners
at liberty, two of them being murderers.
Once outside of the cage, it was easy to
get out on the roof by means of an open
skylight, and thence the prisoners in
tended to slide to the ground by an iron
pipe. A little girl saw the men coming
out on tho roof, and gave the alarm to
the sheriff, who seized revolver and
ordered the prisoners to return. They
refused, and Powell slid down the pipe
and escaped. The Sheriff, to frighten
them, he said, fred at them. Dick Jones
received the shot, and the others re-
turned to their cells. The bullet passed
;nto jones' left lung. Jones is house
breaker, and his name is an assumed
one. Powell has not been recaptured
as yet.

Elopement of Senator Berry's Nephew

The hasty marriage of the daughter of
Chief Justice Fuller has given stimulus

Baltimore, on the 2lst, and was married
to Ewaldus 1. Berry, nephew
of Senator Berry. of Arkansas,
who is clerk to the sena-

performed by a Presbyterian minister.
After it was over the young couple re-
turned to Washington and proceeded
to the home of the brides mother and
informed her what they had done.
They received the parental blessing
and in the evening formed a party at
the theater. The young lady just be-
fore leaving the house early in the
day, laughinsly told her mother that
she was going to initiate Miss Fuller,
but it was taken as joke and the par
ents were much surprised when they
afterwards learned OF the marriage.

SIX YEARS FOR SIGEL.
The Generals Son Sent to the Penitentiary
for Forgery.

New YORK, March 2l.-Robert Sigel,
son of Gen. Sigel, who pleaded guilty to
forging pension checks, was sentenced
by Judge Benedict, in the United States
court, to-day, to six years imprison-
ment at hard labor in the Erie County
penitentiary.
The prisoner exhibited great nervous
ness as Judge Benedict told him he had
wronged many persons, and that it was
difficult to find any circumstance to
warrant mitigation of punishment.
Sigel's young wife wept bitterly in
the lear of the court room when she
heard the sentence pronounced. When
the prisoner was being taken back to
Jail his brother tainted in the hallway
outside the court room, and was uncon-
scious for an hour. The commissioner
OF pensions writes notifying persons
swindled through Sigel to communicate
with the pension Office in Washington.

BRIDGEPORT.

As Bridgeport has no city morgue, it it Is necessary to take bodies of men who meet sudden death to the morgue of one of the undertakers and none is more complete in this respect than that of Hawley, Wilmot & Reynolds at 9s State street. The morgue is on the low CT floor, provided with excellent venti- lation and abundant light from several gas jets. The room Is about 12xIS, con taining the inclined table for the body, upon which a hose allows water to play until 1t is thoroughly cleansed. In cor ners of the room are tables and imple- ments for surgeons use, with every con venience for quick and skillful work. The ventilation is so arranged that the heat ed air from the morgue passes up an ar tificial flue and off through the chimney instead of being dispersed through the rooms. When it is necessary to bring in a body from the street or the depot, a box shaped like an ordinary casket is used, the lid opening on hinges instead of being unscrewed and taken off.
 Our school Is more than usually four ishing. Twenty scholars are enrolled, which is 10 more than were inattendance at one time, few years since.
