JAPAN CLOVER.

The appearance of Japan clover
( (Lespeza Striata) upon the old fields
of the Southern States Immediately
succeeding the late war, appeared at
the time to be a special dispensation
of Providence in favor of this Sec
ton. It gave an impetus to stock
raising and seemed to be a pointer to
guide our people, but the mania for
cotton has almost eradicated this val
liable forage and grazing plant, and it
will be we'll for the country if steps
are Immediately taken by every far
mer to keep a portion of his lands
well set in Japan clover. The area
planted in cotton must be reduced at
least one-third before the farmers can
expect remunerative price, and pru-
dence seems to dictate that one-third
Of the lands should be set in a perma-
nent pasture. For this there is no
better plant than the lespedesa strata.
More grain, more grass, more mules,
cattle, hogs, and sheep will soon make
the South politically, commercially
and industrially independent of the
whole world, and will place the farm
ers in the front ranks Of yore.-Ala-

A PECULIAR AFFECTION.

"A dispatch from Paris, KY, Dec.
Ash, says: A most peculiar case Of
muscular contraction occurred here
yesterday, and the victim, Mrs. Harry
j. Brent, is now lying at the point of
death as the result. Mrs. Brent was
sitting down talking with her children
when suddenly she fell from her chair
with a scream of pain. The muscles
of her right leg had contracted with
such violence that the thigh bone was
broken just below the hip joint. In a
few minutes her left leg was affected
in the same way, and the bone of that,
too, was snapped. Mrs. Brent is about
40 years old, and the wife of veal
thy and prominent Judge. Physi-
clans here say the case is unprecedent-
ed; that while bones have been broken
by muscular contraction, there has al
ways been some well defined cause,
while Mrs. Brent has been apparently
we'll. It is thought by her physicians
that she is a victim of muscular rheu-
matism.

THE CENSUS IN ALASKA.

Alaska is the twenty-frst division of
the Census Bureau, and its enumera-
ton will not be completed until the
latter part of 1891. The plain state
ment shows that census taking is no
easy task in Alaska. VIM. c. Grain
field, one of the Alaska census agents,
reached San Francisco a few days ago,
and the story of his wanderings is re-
markable. After stay at Yukon he
came down the river in skin canoe
for a distance of 1000 miles. At st.
Michaeps he found that the steamship
he expected had departed last August.
Grainfeld went back up the Yukon
river to the Russian mission, crossed
by chain of lakes to the kuskoquim
river, hoated down the river to the
sea, and then, in his frail bark and in
stormy weather, padded along the
dangerous coast to Salmon station at
Nugashak. From there he crossed
Bristol bay, assembled the river to Lake
Walker, and then, on foot and with
OUT SnOWsnOes, maue MS way across
the main chain Of the Alaskan noun
tains, from 5000 to 1000 feet in
height, late in October, with the snow
loose and waist deep. Reaching Kat
mar in safety, the rest of the journey
was pleasant, taking the steamer St.
Paul for the Golden Gate. There
were seven enumerators employed in
Alaska, and all had similar expert
ences. Mr.. Grainfeld travelled 1890
miles by canoe and on foot. The pop
ulation Of Alaska will not exceed
10000, with about 4,500 white, in
cluding about 1000 half breeds, H.
900 Esquimaux, 5000 Indians, 1000
Aleuts, and not more than half dozen
full blooded Russians where there was
once considerable settlement Of the
subjects Of the Czar.-Picaya.1ae.

THE TATTLER.

What is a tattler? A vile leech,
sapping the life blood of human hap
piness. A black, greedy vulture feast
ing upon the carrion of society. A
busy body who listens cheerfully to
anything harsh you may say of your
nsighbor, either pettishly or in a joke,
and then carries it magnified and
patched up to suit himself, and pours
it scorching hot into the ears of per-
haps your best friend, and after sue
ceeding in getting him or her to say
something equally harsh, returns to
you laden with his precious burden Of
strife and adds fuel to the shoulder
ing fire. Thus, little by little, this
ghoul of human society filches the
happiness Of human friendship and
developes between the kindest of
neighbors and the best Of friends a
hatred which should be known only to
the bosom Of a demon. Are you a
tattler? Do you sow among your
neighbors the seed Of discord and
hate? II so, in the name Of human
ity let us beg you to desist. We are
all liable to err, all apt to say in a
moment of sudden passion or silly
joke things which an hour afterward,
in moment Of cool reflection, we
may heartily wish unsaid. But deep
er is the sin and thicker is the crime
of him who, taking our weakness for
his capital, effects the destruction Of
the happiness Of his neighbor or his
interests.-Catholic Advance.

THE PRESENT COTTON CROP.

The Picayune says: Mr.. Shopper
sons review Of the crop Of 1SS9-90
has the following with regard to the
crop now being marketed:
"My advices do not indicate that
the crop of any state will be less than
in 18S9:90, while the yield of some
sections is very materially greater, and
notably so in the Carolinas, Tennes-
see, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and
Arkansas, The open Fall will proba-
bly, also enable Texas to show an in
crease. The present outlook seems to
point to crop of 100000 to S,000,-
600 bales. A crop of 100000 bales
would be equal to .403 of a bale per
acre upon the Agricultural Bureaus
estimated acreage of 19, $50, 900 acres
In consequence Of frequent rains
during the early Fall, the quality Of
the crop will be much inferior to that
of the previous season. This loss in
grade will of course materially affect
the spinning capacity OF the crop, re-
ducing it probably quite 100000 bales,
if comparison is made with the excel
lent crop of 1880-90. Weights of
bales are heavier than for the CORES
ponding time in 1889, and this is
doubtless due to some extent, to the
damp condition in which so much of
the cotton was baled. 1t looks as if
cotton production had overtaken con-
sumption. Should the present pros
pect of the American crop be realized,
there will be an abundant supply Of
cotton for the wants of the world, and
with the probability that speculation
will be held in check by dearer rates
for money here and in Europe, we
may reasonably expect a lower range
of prices than for the past season"
