sess1n the occasion for reoPening an old
questioa-a question that could have bseu
reopened Just as well, and with jus. as great
prospect Of Success. az any other time In
view Of the good feeling that has always
existed between Charleston aud Savannah
the effort of the Netrs and Courier, on the
day Savannah had fixed for her 1000, 600
bale celebration, 70 raise a doubt whether
rather unkind
Charleston claims that Savannah counts
cotton which she counts, and which she
alone has right 20 count II q new ques-
ton were presented in this claim there
would BE- some reason for discussing it in
the public prints. 1t is not a new question,
however. 1t is enc that has already re-
ceived great deal Of attention, and accord
ing to the NelCs and COuTieT's own show
ing, the weight Of authority is against
Charleston's claim. By weight of authority
is meant that all the authorities except the
Charleston exchange and Statistician Shep-
person count the cotton receipts as Savan-
nah counts them. And Shepperson, in his
Cotton Facts, says: at may not be out
Of place to state that am the only pub
Usher Of cotton statistics who does so count
it, all other statisticians having followed
the lead Of the National Cotton Exchange
and the New Orleans Cotton World, and
deducted this cotton from your receipts. I
deducted it from Savannah's receipts last
season, and stated your receipts exactly in
accordance with the figures sent me by your
exchange"
Charleston has only Shepperson to sup
port the count of its exchange, while Sa-
vannah's exchange. in its count. is SUD-
ported by all the other authorities. And
even Shepperson admits that Charleston,
according to the rule, cannot count the
cotton which she claims in her net receipts.
The Savannah exchange simply follows
the rule, and that rule gave her every bale
she counted to make her million bales. As
long as the rule is in force Savannah, doubt
less, will be guided by it. Charleston ought
to find fault with those who are responsible
for the rule, if it is an unjust one, and not
with Savannah. That the rule is enforced,
Notwithstanding Charleston's protest, is
pretty good evidence that it is founded in
justice
1t is natural that Charleston should feel
aggrieved at the wonderful increase in
Savannah's cotton receipts. There was a
time when her cotton receipts were far
ahead Of those of Savannah. That was
long ago. however. Never again will
Charleston rival Savannah as a cotton port.
And this is stated simply as fact, and not
in a spirit of rejoicing.

How q French General Was Stolen.
The only prisoner made by the English re-
serve at Waterloo, ssys an English paper. was
French general, whose capture was due TO the
| cool head and stout heart OF a young brigade
major anxious for an adventure.
During tire battle seve al regiments Of cav
airy and Infantry were kept IN reserve under s
heavy fire from the French guns. Great was
TIE havoc, and neither men nor horses relished
the passive attitude to which they wers con
demued.
While group OF young officers in front Of
the left wing OF the reserve were discussing the
situation their attention was attracted TO a
French general and his staff, all on horseback.

One Of the group was Capt. Halkett, a young

pace across the plains between the British and
French lines. HIS comrades followed him with
their glasses. not speaking a word.
The Frenchmen opposite seemed puzzled.
Believing that the Englishmzn's horse had
oolted, aud that the rider had lost contol Of
MIN, they opened their r INKS to let thu runa-
way horse through. Halkstt steered his steed
so as TO Craze the mounted general on the ri hit
side.
At that instant he put his arm around the
Frenchman's waist, lifted him bodily out OF the
saddle, and. throwing him over his own horses
neck, turned sharp and made for the English
lines
When the generals staff realized the meaning
OF the bold rider they dashed after him, but he
had good start. and not Frenchman dared
to fire for fear of hitting the general.

them. They opened their ranks to let Halkett

to turn swiftly and seek shelter under their own
guns.
Amid the maddest cheering Halkett stopped
in front of the British lines, with the general
half dead but securely clasped in bis strong
arms. He jumped from his horse, apologized
to the prisoner for the unceremopious way in
which he had been handled and, in reply to the
congrat uletions OF his comrades. said simply:

general was treated with the utmost courtesy
and consideration.

Losses do not often strike the Monte
Carlo gaming tables. But when they do
come the bank always turns them to ac-
count. Exaggerated statements of them
are wired broadcast over the world to make
people believe that rich players are gen.
orally large winners. As a matter Of fact
the losses of the bank on one side of the
room rarely equal the winnings on the
other side at any time, while the balance is
usually largely in favor of the bank. Still
the rich and sportive who hear Of some
one's winnings are almost sure to go there
and try to do likewise

What that magnificent aggregation of
picturesque tubs that we call our national
navy needs as much as an accession of YES
sells is somebody who knows enough to steer
a craft off the shore and not to send out to
sea leaky and battered up old hulk in
stormy weather. To say that sending the
Galeua out only to be beached was a mis-
take is merely to put into words what is
plainly apparent to every one. But if our
Secretary of the Navy doesn't know enough
of nautical affairs to take care of what few
ships we have when there is no particular
use for them, what is he there fora That's
the question.

Celebrating the Millionth Bale

The men who met at the cotton exchange
yesterday to celebrate the fact that Savan-
nah had passed the million bale mark for
the first time in any one season realized
fully the growing commercial importance
of the city. Some of them could remember
when Savannah commanded a great deal
less respect than she does now, and when
she attracted very little attention in
other parts of the country. Now she is one
of the best known cities in the union.
A quarter of century ago her own citi-
zens did not expect that she would ever re,
ceive 900, 900 bales of cotton in a year, and
not one of them ever thought that she
would become the first naval stores port in
the world. For years it was difficult mat
ter to get appropriations for the improve
ment Of her harbor. Members of congress
could not be made to understand that she
had great and growing commerce. They
either would not admit that the figures
showing the volume of her trade were cor
rect, or they would not make themselves
acquainted with them. Finally they began
to understand that a great com mercial city
was growing up on the South Atlantic
coast, and the work of getting appropria>
tions for Savannah's harbor became easier
And the men who attended the celebra-
ton yesterday are much more deeply inter-
ested in making Savannah great city than
were those who handled Savannah's cotton
receipts quarter of century ago. There
we're Savannahians then. of course, who
felt certain pride in the city, and were de-
sirous of promoting her prosperity, but the
number YVES exceedingly small Now there
is general feeling of confidence in the
city's future, and money for enter
prises of different kinds is not difficult to
obtain.
Savannah's harbor now accommodates
ships which have draft of over twenty
one feet, and within a very few
years it will be so much improved
that it will float the largest ships.
The number Of her railroads is increasing,
aud the area of the territory tributary to her
is being rapidly extended. 1t is not to be
wondered. therefore, that those who made
addresses at the celebration yesterday not
only contrasted the city's present with her
past, but spoke of her future with an
earnestness and hopefulness that indicated
a profound conviction that her prosperity
would be great and her increase in wealth
and population would exceed expectation.
And cotton has done great deal for Sa-
vannah, and it will do more. The an
nouncement that she has received 1000, 900
bales already this year will attract wide at
teution, and help to make known her adj
vantages and her prospects. 1t will help to
increase her receipts next year, as there is a
belief that port which has large receipts
offers a better market than one whose
receipts are small.

Holding an exaggerated opinion of her
own attractions is no unusual thing for a
vain young woman to do. But few allow
it to plague them as young Jewess in New
York has lately done. 1t is something rather
unusual Imagining every young man
with whom she came in contact
to be smitten with her charms,
she still believes them all to be too
diffident to approach the subject she so
much wishes to discuss. One of the most
comical features Of her mania is that she
thinks the delightful youths would all be
chanting love in her ears if she could only
induce her uncle to remove the hodoo of her
overwhelming destinations by kissing her
feet. Very naturally the uncle objects to
humiliating himself in any such manner,
leaving altogether out of account the ir-
resistible attractiveness of her corn-be-
decked feet.

One Of the most curious surgical experi-
ments of modern times is that OF Dr. John
Eye, of Reading, Pa, in which he effected
a very remarkable result in skin-grafting.
By his experiments he has satisfied himself
that the skin of black when engrafted
upon a white person will turn white, while
the skin of a white person engrafted upon q
black retains its original color. LISA very
curious phenomenon and can only be &C

Making campaign ammunition out of an
intercepted letter bids fair to get Sir
Charles Upper into serious difficulty. In
using the letter he must have clearly known
that it was stolen, since the owner would
not have been likely to surrender such a
document voluntarily for the use of those
opposed to him in politics Unfortunately
for Sir Charles, Canada has law which
prescribes a very positive punishment for
the offense of receiving, or having in ones
possession, any sort of goods or property
known to have been stolen. For such an
offense the law provided a penalty of seven
years imprisonment. If Sir Char les
manages to avoid serving his country in
that new capacity, it can scarcely be done
in any other way than by exerting his
political influence to the utmost.

Consensus Of opinion all over the country
appears TO converge in the conclusion that
while the killing of those Italians at New
Orleans was deplorable, as are all acts of
violence, it was still little more thaa the
application of heroic treatment for civil
disorder grown desperate. 1t was no
demonstration against Italians nor Sicil-
ians nor any other nationality. 1t was
simply intended to crush out conspiracy
against the law by defiant criminals. 1t

banded assassins they will probably hesitate
