The American Woman.

It has long been the custom Of the literary
foreigner to visit America and writs a book
on his observations. In which be takes pleas
ure in violating the facts and his conscience 70
suit the taste OF bis readers, or for the pur
pose Of saying something left unsaid by his
predecessor on the same errand. Some
times the literary foreigner lives 10 regret
his misstatements, as in the case of Dickens,
but oftener the errors are left TO De dis
covered by the individual tourist, who has
been led 10 believe from the literary
foreigners book that there are Indians in
Washington, and that Philadelphia is
situated IN Boston.
But occasionally a writer from abroad
finds one thing which he sees correctly, and
can appreciate. In this category may be
placed Paul Bloust. otherwise Max
O'Rell. the French wit and satirist,
and the American woman is one Of the
blessings Of our country that he estimates
correctly, when he speaks of her as cher
majesty" and ''her serene highness."
n. Bioust finds in our womauhood the
typical American, grants her superior phys
ical aud mental beauty over the daughters
OF England and France. and says she is
unique in the brilliancy Of her conversation
and unaffectstion Of her manner. In her
composition there is something which in
spires such respect in the men Of all nations
that she is permitted to queen it over
Christendom.
The American woman has proved an In
soluble puzzle TO French writers before NJ.
Blouet. because they have been unable to
appreciate her. They have looked at her
from an erroneous standpoint, aud whenever
she has become annoyed or disguised, IN
kind things have been said. Because Ameri-
cans place her upon pedestal. and pay her
marked Difference, in strong contrast with
the custom Of Europe. the literary foreigner
has heretofore failed TO understand It; and
so will he continue to fail until NJ. Blouet's
conclusion, that she is decidedly unique and
worthy Of warmest admiration, is accepted.
There Is something in the institutions of
this great country which makes it possible
for "a duchess to serve at a dining table,"
and that intangible something" raises the
American woman to be a queen among her
sisters, and deserving Of the title, her
serene highness.n

a Story OF M. Mills.

A correspondent at Sprinkle, Tex. sends this
interesting story OF Roger Q. Mills to the Gal
weston News: While the colonel with his regi-
ment was encamped near Wartrace, Middle
Tennessee. in 1883. in the vicinity of his camp
lived a poor widow lady with three or four
small children dependent on her fer support

there was on her small farm some eight or ten
acres Of wheat, her only dependence for bread
for herself and little ones. The grain was ripe
and ready for the sickle, and no one to save it
but her own fair hands.
This was too much for the gallant colonel.
He sent off and borrowed cradles, and armed
with q cradle, in his shirt sleeves with his
epaulet and sword cast aside the colonel told
the boys" as he did on the battle field to fol-

| A Bad Week in the Cotton Market.
Last week was decidedly bad one in
the cotton market. The price of cotton
touched a lower point than at any time
since 1S49. On Thursday there was
| great deal OF excitement in the New York
Cotton Exchange, and fears of a panic were
entertained. Many wild and unfounded
| rumors were spread which had che effect
Of alarming holders of cotton, causing them
to sell out their holdings, thus still further
depressing the price.
However, at the close of the wesk there
was little better feeling. and the belief is
| entertained by great many shrewd opera
tors in cotton that the price has gone about
as low as it is likely to. 1t is certainly to
be hoped that their belief will prove to be
well founded.
The low price of cotton is having a very
depressing influence on business in thu
| south. The present price is below the profit
line, and cotton growers are therefore fiud-
ing it difficult to meet their obligations.
The interior merchants find themselves
cramped for money to carry on their BUSH
ness, and the wholesale houses of the cities
are suffering not only a falling of in their
trade, but are finding 1t difficult to make
collections.
And there Is another thing that is con =
trihuting to the difficulties OF the situation.
1t is this: A very large number of south
erners, believing that the price of cotton
would advance, have bought cotton futures
and they are consequently heavy losers. As
a general thing southerners are on the
wrong side of the market when the
price of cotton declines. Their tendency
is to speculate for a rise, not for
a decline. The losses due to the low
price Of cotton and to speculation will be
severely felt in the south this year. But
they would not be productive of serious
! consequence il the market should improve
considerably from this time until the close
of the season. The south hos been fairly
prosperous for q number of years, and eau
stand a pretty heavy drain upon her re-
sources.

A Question OF Sanity.

A man was brought before justice IN Illinois
accused OF a criminal offense, says the Youth 5
Companion. The prisoner pleaded guilty, but
asked the judge to suspend sentence until be
should have an opportunity TO prove some
mitigating circumstances. The justice acceded
to the request, and continued the case until
the next day.
In the meantime the accused secured the
services of certain youn lawyer, who was
the laughing stock of the entire bar On the
following day, when the case was called, the
attorney arose and said, "YoJr honor, yester-
day my client. while laborinS under a slight
attack OF insanity. pleaded guilty as charged
we therefore now make a motion to strike that
plea from the records. and enter one of not
guilty instead"
Has the prisoner retained you as bis coun-
SELF" asked the judge.
Yes, sir he retained me this morning, and
paid me SIS "
What is the nature Of your defense?'
II expect to prove that the prisoner has been
out Of his mind until tais morning"
The judge said nothing. but seemed lost in
thought, and the young attorney asked in some
trepidation what was the matter.
20, nothing in particular" responded the
justice, shaking himself together II was only
wondering whether the poor fellow might not
be suffering from more violent attack Of in
sanity than ever
