SUMNER NIGHT.

Oh, dlent night
Oh, smothered stiffness
That settles down on dropping bough,
Thou hold'st the ca tn ia breathless slumber
Awake, but now.
Gray mists arise
From dsw-wet flowers,
That lend tn ir fragrance to the night:
And languid float on breath of summer
An incense light.
A pale moon shines
On weary grasses,
That bend their heads with mournful grace
Then sinks behind the white clouds floating
And wells her face.
Heat quivers oft
In lightning flashes
Along the soft gray northern sky,
And Eliminates the grand old forest
In shade near by.
A bird sings out
In broken stlnzas
From yon tall bush with blossoms fair,
Dream songs that, sung in drowsy snatches,
Arouse the air.
And echoes find
In hidden music,
That soft descend from regions high,
And wake the sleeping sultry breezes
To softly sigh.

HUNG HIS FATHER.
THE son WAS SHERIFF OF THE
COUNTY.

The Father Punished for the Crime of
Murder.
1t was q strange meeting of father and
son on the occasion of the hanging of old
Bill Seedlings for the murder of his Sec
ond wife at Sp kane, Washington. The
murder was atrociCus, The people said,
and there were few glances of sympathy
for the doomed man among the morbidly
curious stales of the little crowd that
filled the Jail yard.
The sheriff's deputies had attended to
the details. The trap was set ready to
be sprung and in an instant send man
into the great beyond. The moose had
been made carefully of the best hemp
rope, creased with tallow for that occa-
81, n. The procession had moved up the
steps TO the platform.
With business-like dignity the sheriff,
who had been notified, stepped from his
office, crossed the court J ard, and mount
ing the scaffold with the death warrant
in his hand. He read the document in a
calm voice, as one would notice of a
sherlff's sale.
"And now, SIR" he said, turning to
the condemned man, ''you are at liberty
to speak if there is anything on your
mind.''
Throughout his trial, in the dark
hours after his sentence, through the
last night of his life, and while viewing
curiously from his cell the rays of the
last sunrise he wonld ever see on earth,
the victim of the law had been sto, cally
snJlen. Emotion had never shown itself
in his face. He had taken his fate phil
osophically from the first, makinglno de-
tense, S aging nothing when the sternjudge
had given him an opportu 1ity to speak
before passing sentence. Few noticed it,
but it seemed as ii a tear glistened in his
eve then. Addressing himself to the
sheriff, he said in suppressed tone:
"Won't you shake hands, my boy, be-
fore go?'
The sheriff did not hear him, or if he
did no one could bave told it. He was
still the business like executive officer
of the county in which he lived, nothing
more.

condemned man continued, ehowlng a
trace of excitement, ''nof did your

special telegram to Bradstreets and

and press within few days have ind
Gated The LIKELIHOOD of crisis in the cot
fon regions, owing to the inability of
banking institutions there to advance
the funds necessary to move the cotton
crop with anything like the usual free
dom.
1t had become plain that few, if any,
of the, southern banks would, if they
could, advance funds to cotton buyers
to enable the latter to hold the staple for
al advance in price, and the recent dis
turbances among southern financial in
situations began to raise the question
how the cotton crop was to be moved at
ALL
A considerable proportion of the cot
ton crop is raised by tenant planters,
and owners of land, as a rule, are ex-
pected to make the necessary advances
to tenants to provide fer picking, Cir
ming, pressing and baling cotton.
But with southern banks using clear
ing house certificates, and in many in
stances permitting derositors to with
draw only trivial sums of money daily,
the problem how to borrow 100000
CT more to move she cotton crop had be-
come a serious one.
1t is with considerable pleasure there
fore that Bradstreet learns that ar
rangements have been made by the sec
rotary of the treasury, in view of the
emergency referred to, by which the
government, on the deposit of currency
with subtreasury 1T New York. will, on
being advised of that fact, telegraph
subtreasury at New Orleans an order to.
pay like sum Of ponev in silver dol
lars.
This arrangement must go far to re-
lieve the financial striDgency at the
south with respect to the cotton crop.
Inasmuch as costs $3.50 per bale
for picking, ginning, pressing and baling
cotton, about 100000 for gathering
and preparing for shipment a crop of
100000 bales it becomes plain that the
phrase advancing money to move the
cotton cron', has a real and living near
ing.

RUST AND CTAERPILLARs.

These Enemies of Cotton Getting in Their
Work.
Rust and caterpillars have attacked
the cotton.
A few caterplllars made their appear
once three or four weeks ago. They
we're found only in spots, however, and
it was not thought then that they would
do much damage; but they are now APP
pearing in increased numbers and are
stripping the cotton to an extent that is
materially damaging it.
The young cotton and cotton in bot
tom lands, or wherever the cotton is of
rank growth and green, is being preyed
upon by the caterpillars, while that on
the grey or sandy lands is being attack
ed by the rust, causing it to shed and
open prematurely.
The two together are going to affect
the crop more than previous reports have
indicated.
