Good Southern Prospects.

There is very cheering pro pect for
the South in view, for our cotton feel Is
are white with the flrecy staple, and
though the price has declined from the
very high point it had re"cied. yet it is
considerably above the usual price at
this season. This and good tobacco
crop will give our people much more
money than they have had in many a
year, and the fact that they have raised
more provisions than customary viii
make them all the easier Raleigh

A very early settlement Of the tariff
question, and an adjournment of Con.
gress is practically sured By the
close of this week the conference report
on the tariff bill will probably be male
to the House. and possibly be acted on
by both houses. The deficiency bill will
probably be disposed of pending this
conference, and the prospects of an ad-
journment toward the latter part of he 1t
week are good.

A RIGHTEOUS VERDICT.

The outcome of the latest suit for breach of promise of marriage in New York, where Miss Cammerer has recov- cred Sl2,000 damages from Mir Muller. conveys it's own moral. This differed from the ordinary breach of promise suit in that the defendant was actually barred from marrying the young woman, he having been already mar ried man, and his wfr was still living when he sought the hand of Miss Cammerer. It rpprayrd in evidence, however, that Miss CAnNlrrer WAS kept in ignorance of this fact, SD that the de fendant not only failed to keep his promise to her, but h.,,"ly deceived her besides. If ever q Mu,iinu deserved a substantial verdict ar,,iuet deceitful and faithless suitur. Hiss tammerer de. served one, and we IT" glad to see that the jury concurredin thi, view.

Why We Sink in Ouicksand.

Quicksand is composed chiefly of small particles of mica mixed largely with water. The mica is so smooth that the fragments slip upon each other with tho greatest facility, so that any heavy body which displaces them will sink, and con tinue to sink until solid bottc m is reached. When particles of sand arc ragged and angular any weight pressing on them will crowd them together until they arc competed into a solid mass. A sand composed of mica or soapstone, when mixed with sufficient water, seems incapable of such consolidation.
