Lots Of Money.

eyes, if had lots Of money, I know
what I'd do," said little boy one day,
and he gave his head knowing shake,
as if he thought great deal more than
he chose to tell.
"Poor child" said friend, who over
heard, "you don't know everything yet;
you'll be great deal wiser when you are
older"
"Let me tell you the story of the Duke
of Brunswick and his diamonds. He
had more than two million dollars worth
of diamonds, and they made a prisoner
of him. he never dared to leave home
even for night, lest some one would
steal them. He lived in house builtso
he couldn't take any comfort in it. 1t
was much like prison, it was made so
thick and strong, with the doors and win
dows barred and bolted. A very thick
high wall Was built outside the house all
around it, and on the top of the wall Was
AMI iron railing tipped off with sharp
points that would cut like knife, and 80
contrived that if a person touched one of
them q chime of bells would instantly
ring. This railing cost great deal OF
money, what would seem large fortune
to US.
"He kept his diamonds in safe built
in q thick wall in his bed room, where
he could look at them whenever he
wished. And his bed was placed against
this wall, so that no thief could get at
them without waking or killing him.
The safe was very strong, made of stone
and iron. fany one should try to pry it
open number Of guns would go off that
would kill the person at once, and at the
same time bells would be set ringing in
every room in the house.
"He had but one window in his bed
room, and that so high up he could not
see out, and no one could get in. The
door was made of the stoutest iron,
and no one could get in without under
standing the very curious lock. Besides
all this, he kept a case of pistols, all
loaded on his table.
"What room! What comfort could
that man take, although he was 30 rich
Poor man |! Poor rich man! He didn't
have half the enjoyment in life that you
children have, who have no diamonds to
take care OF, and run in and out and

ATLANTA, GA, June 2O.-some
months ago s. NJ. Inman, of the firm of
s. M. Inman & Co., whose long expert
ence, big business and close connection
with the great markets enable him to
speak with much weight on the cotton
subject, pointed out the great danger Of
over production. 1t appears now that
the effort to reduce the acreage did not
succeed to the extent that was antic.
ipated, and the situation is anything but
encouraging.
"The situation is something almost
unprecedented in the history of the cot.
ton trade," said Mr.. Inman recently.
"The American crop, which was believed
by many conservative people in the be-
ginning of the year to be not over 7,500,-
600 bales, promises to turn out nearly
s,750,00O bales. That is, about s,750,000
will be sold off the plantations and come
into sight, while there will probably bs
from 100000 to 100000 bales which will
never leave the plantations this season
on account of the low prices. Hence, it
looks now as if the yield of this crop,
gathered between September l, 1890,
and August 81, 1891, if it could all be
counted, would be somewhere between
S,8o0,00O and 100000 bales.
"Now, take the increase of the Ameri.
can crop-say 100000 bales, against
100000 bales last year, giving an in.
crease of 100000 bales-and deduct
the 100000 bales shortage in the crop of
india, and you have an increase in the
worlds supply for this year of probably
100000 bales. While there will be
large increase in consumption, it will be
nothing like sufficient to absorb this
enormous increase. Nearly all evidence
points to the fact that the acreage in cot.
ton this year is approximately the same
as last year. While there has been some
trouble with the crop in the Carolinas,
Georgia and Tennessee, the crop in the
balance of the cotton.raising States is
doing very we'll, and unless some disaster
occurs we will have another reasonably
large crop.
ut is the fear of another large crop
which is at present depressing prices
more than the burden of the cotton that
has been made during the past year, be-
cause if the world were assured that the
next crop would not be 100000 bales, I
think there would be a considerable
rally from the present prices.
"As to the future of the market, it sp.
pears to me about this way, that if we
make another crop in anywise approx.
mating the size of the one just grown, We
may look for year of the lowest prices
which have ever prevailed. You see,
We are on untrodden ground"

An Awkward Mistake.

A farmer who had bought calf from
a butcher desired Him to drive it to bis
farm and place it in his stable, which he
accordingly did.
Now, it happened that very day that
man with a grinding organ and dane.
ing bear, passing by that way, began
their antics in front of the farm. After
amusing the farmer for some time, the
organ.man entered the farm house and
asked the farmer if he could give him a
nights lodging. The farmer replied that
be could give the man lodging, but that
he was at a loss where to put the bear.
After musing a little, he determined to
bring the calf inside the house and place
the bear in the stable, which was done.
Now the butcher, expecting that the
calf would remain in the stable all night,
resolved to steal it ere morning. The
farmer and his guest were in the night
awakened by fearful yelling at the out
building. Both got up, and taking a
lantern entered the stable, when the far.

the circumstance to the owner Of bruin,
who, to punish the butcher for his in.

him, Tommy" which the bear did in
real earnest, the butcher roaring hide

thought that he had suffered enough
they set him free, and the butcher slunk
of, glad to escape with his life, while the
farmer and his guest returned to their

The Court that closed last week waa q
sad commentary on the civilization and
moral training of our young men.
Eleven young white men, were tried last
week for various crimes, such as forgery,
perjury, assault and battery with intent
to kill, riot, &c. These we're young men
fresh from our schools. In most cases
whiskey played a part in the commission
Of these crimes. A very sad sight to see
four young men charged with riot in
consequence Of Christmas spree. Our
young men should be taught the real
and true reasons for the observance of
Christmas. They should also be taught
that obedience to law and failure to do
the things that the law says ne must not
do is one of the characteristics of gen
tleman. That brave men do not carry
concealed weapons, except on special
provocations, and then for the purpose of
protecting themselves. and not for the
purpose of oHense. just think of the
eleven young men before the Court of
Session at one time charged with crimes
of all grades. Teachers, forget not to
teach your pupils that the heart should
be kept right, and if either must be neg
lected, let it not be the moral training of
your pupils, because it is more important
to give the moral training than it is to
give them intellectual training. 1t is
more important to keep the heart right
than it is to develop the mind. "The
fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis
