THE PRESS.

Il seems to be the fashion in Ger.
tain quarters to refer to the average
country newspaper as q Gross
Road Sheet" IAN exponent OF hay
seed ideas etc." and il such uneom
plilnentary remarks do not find room
in all the city papers the majority of
them undoubtedly labor under the
impression that they are a superior
set any way and whensthey deign
to give the editor Of a country sheet
credit for q new idea or something
Of the kind they do it in q sort of,
good enough for a country paper"
way which can not prove very graf
flying to the average rural editor.
Now this is all wrong and we r
prepared to prove it..
The country papers Influence is
very much uHderestimated because
it generally does its work in a quiet
unobstructive way, and does not
shout its praises above the aouse-
tops.
A case in point is the struggle
which the Democratic press of the
country parishes is now engaged in,
A large number Of the patrons OF
these papers are Farmers Alliance
men, and therefore more or less il
sympathy with the Third Party
But this does not deter the edition
from doing his duty.
No, he bravely sticks to his colori
although BANKRUPTCY perhaps vii
be the result.
He does not look to see whether
be will make or lose subscribers.
All he knows is that the dear ole
party ia in danger, and he rushe'
bravely to the rescue regardless o
the consequences.
ALI honor therefore to the ccuh
try paper. and let US not forget tia
if Louisiana is to remain in The
Democratic column. we shall be in
rdebted 10 our country press, upol
whom falls all the burden OF til

DEATH VALLEY.

Death Valley was, in the main,
disappointing, as | think it will be
to any tourists. / could not realize
that Telescope Peak, the ~loftiest
Panamint, rose about two miles
above the lowest part of the valley;
nor that this lowest point was 200
feet below sea level; nor (the
weather being then COMFORTABLY
that in summer the air is Kindred
until it contains but one per cent. OF
humidity; nor that the w~ell-shaded
thermometer has ranged, according
to various authentic observers. oil
the way from.l22 to 1876 degrees

things I appreciated fully. and n
of them was a sand-storm. I sew
the air filled with a dusty fog clear
to the mountain tops, while the sun
grew dark and bright by turns as
the fog increased and lessened; I
saw plnmes Of dust waving above
the cloud masses as do the feathery
plunes of sog above the cyclone, aud
saw slender, sinuous sandspouts a
mile high, careening down the val
lev in the arms Of the gale. It was
a marvellous exhibit OF the powers of
nature.
To most tourists Death Valley
presents a caaplete picture of desc
laiion. The mountains are rugged
and devoid Of verdnre. the loWlands
is a salty waste, where only The mes,
quite. ttinrny and gnarled, aud the

these have a constant struggle far

The success of cotton mills in the
South has been 30 marked during
The past few years that it begins to
dawn upon the mill owners of New
England that the raw material and
the mills must be brought nearer to.

mill In South Carolina could earn
~ per cent. on the money invested
in the last year, while the most
profitable mill In Massachusetts,
did not probably realize 10 per cent,
there is no reason why a large por-
ton Of the cotton crop Of Texas
should not be manufactured at
