Cotton and Roads.

There are two important bodies
now in session at Atlanta, the Cot.
ton Acreage, and the Interstate
Road Congresses. Delegations
to each come from the Southern
States. Over the cotton congress
the Hon~D. p. Duncan, of South
Carolina, presides. They have diff
fcult problems to solve: the adop-
ton of a system for making our
common highways practicable by
some economical plan; the confG-
ing Of the cotton production to the
ordinary demand for consumption.
The cotton problem is Il delicate
one and the most difficult, growing
tout of the fact that in the black or
cotton belt proper, the growing of
Wheat, which Is the chief bread
staple, isimpracticablc. 1t is prob
able that the result will be q rec
plnmendatiop to planters, farmers
and alliances to stimulate and en-
courage the growing Of all crops
Tor the subsistence Of mar and
beast as far as practicable to the
excIusion, of cotton. The entire
hill region of the South can grow
ssoereals, as wheat. oats, and indian
sysrn; mules, cattle, hogs and sheep;
s,nd making cotton a money crop,
the South would soon be indepen-
dent of the western markets, her
money could be kept at home for
Industrial investment, and her
wealth, population and power de-
Seloped at am early day.
a resolution has been introduced
in the Road Convention that prop
rrty aud labor should contribute to
making the roads. The trend Of

An Interesting Calculation.

An uptown man, having nothing eSe
to do, thought he would try an expert
ment, so he turned the hands of clock
in his room the full twenty-four hours Of
a day, and found it took, with moderate
movement, one minute Of time to accom-
plish that task. lie then made a calcu-
lation Of how long it would take him to
turn off the full measure of mans life,
which, according to the Scriptures, is
three score years and ten" and found
that it would take seventeen and one
half days to turn the hands of the clock
to represent seventy years.-Philadel-

MARRIAGE IN AssYRIA.
Rather More Matter of Barter Thers
Than In the Land of the Free.

Rather More Matter of Barter Thers
Than In the Land of the Free.
Men live on six cents day IN Assyria
Assyrian women are bought and sold,
are made to work with oxen at the piow,
and have as little liberty as in the days
of Cadmus. Men who pay six dollars
day to live and ladies who ride to shops
in victorias thought over these things as
they left the Lincoln Park church Sun
day night. Amen Rasi, born on Mount
Lebanon. told these things in. broken
English.
Amen Rasi is tall, handsome Assy.
rian. with skin as rich as the CHINA
mon silks made at the foot of the noun
tain on which he was born. He looked
into the curious, bright eyes of girls
and told them that, had they been born
Assyrians in Assyria they could not go
upon the streets unless their faces were
concealed; that they could neither re-
ceive nor make call among women
without their husbands consent, and
that if at any time, even by accident,
they were seen by any man or in any
way recognized no one would marry
them.
He said that once two couples-a tail
man and short woman, and a short
man and a tall woman-stood before a
priest to be wed. The priest placed the
tall man and tall woman and the short
man and short woman together, and
none of the four knew whether it was
right or not, neither of them knowing
the other But the parents hastily OBJ
jected, and placed the tall man by the
short woman and the short man by the
tall woman, as that was the way of the
contracts.
Then Mr.. Rasi showed how these con-
tracts were made. He left the pulpit,
and presently man wrapped up in rich
Assyrian raiment went up and sat upon
the floor. Mr.. Rasi came back and
squatted beside him.
81 would very much like" he said,
"for girl who is yours to be wife to my
son Isaac"
81 would be honored," returned the
man, with very unmistakabla Ameri.
can accent.
"How many have your"
"Three."
GLOW much years have they?"
"One is fifteen, one twenty and one
twenty-five"
Don't talk to me about the twenty
five nor the twenty; they are never fit to
marry. How much do you charge for
the little one?'
Give camels, four horses, three sheep
and fifty dollars"
"Bahl l can buy 100 women for so
much"
'But no little one"
-Oh, think So"
swell, you can't have mine for cent
less"
81 pay"
But even then Isaac did not get tha
little one, because few minutes later
Mr.. Rasi returned as another man, and
by doubling the price secured the girl
for his son Jacob.
Then Amen Rasi looked at the young
men, whose patent feathers cost them
seven dollars, and told them that people
in Assyria paid fifty cents for suit of
clothes. The common people, he said,
paid three cents for twenty-five pounds
of cabbage and four cents for five pounds
of turnips. Fifty loaves of bread were
turned out at baking, and men some
times ate four and five loaves at meal.
He waited for moment, and then, turn.
ing to black boy behind him, said,
They are so big" and he drew circle
that would inclOSe a THANKSGIVING plat.
