In the smash Of prices of specula-
tive and staple commodities, cotton
is almost the only article that has not
suffered a bad relapse. The reason
is that the crop Is short. II the
planting of 1898 promised anything
like 100000 bales, cotton would be
so low that even the farmer who
might make it at a cost of 4 cents q
pound or less would not make much
money. Southern farmers who are
wise will profit by the lesson, diversi-
fly their crops and avoid the danger.

Ingalls, Scores Uncle Sam.

The government is always the worst
served Of all employers. The hours of
labor are less in number and the salaries
larger than in any private business, and
this is nowhere more conspicuous than
in the postoffice department. ANY of
the great express companies, Wells-Far-
go, the American or the United States,
could profitably perform the postal SER
vice of the country at half the present
rates with equal promptness and eff
cheney, and with greater responsibility
Our present system is typical monop-
oily. II letter or package is lost by
the carelessness or knavery of a clerk or
postmaster there is no redress. The gov
eminent endeavors to detect and punish
the culprit, but makes no reparation,
even if its agent and servant ia proved
to have appropriated the property of the
citizen. The annual list Of depredations
is appalling, but there is no redress. An
express company or other common car
rier would be liable for the full value of
its loss. and, failing in restitution, would
be compelled to respond or forfeit it's
charter. No private citizen could deal
with his customers as the government
treats its patrons in the postoffice depart
ment without being in bankruptcy one
half the time and in the penitentiary the
other half.

Leveling of Mountains and River-banks.
From Popular Science Monthly.]

Leveling of Mountains and River-banks.
From Popular Science Monthly.l
The geologist studying in the Rocky
Mountains is ever astoDished at the rapid
degradation of mountain forms. Cliffs,
peaks, crags, and rocky scaurs are for
ever tumbling down. The rocks break
asunder above and roll down in great
slides on the TANKS and about the feet of
the mountains. AS the slopes are thus
diminished, gradually the slides are COW
cred with soil, in part through the decay
of the rocks themselves, in part by
wind-drifted sands, but perhaps in chief
part by the washing of the soils above.
In this manner great mountain is ulti-
mately buried by Overplacement. This
overplacement gradually washes down,
to be distributed on still lower grounds.
but it is replaced from above from the
newly formed soils. The process goes
on until the mountain b degraded into
hills and the streams have carried away
the greater part of the material of the
ancient mountain. Now, in studying
these mountains, the geologist is always
on his guard to distinguish overplace-
ment from foundation structure. When
the mountains are all gone the hills are
degraded in the same manner, and the
process continues until grand base
level is established, below which degra-
dation can not take place; then the
mountains and hills have all been carried
away by rivers to the sea. As noun
tains and hills are degraded, so valley
slopes are brought down. The river,
meandering now on this side and now on
that, increases the length Of its course,
as every bend throughout the valley is
cut back; but ultimately bend works
back against bend, until shorter chan
nels are produced. By cutoff channels
the course of the river is diminished; by
increasing its meanders the course of the
river is heightened; but in the grand
operation the one about compensates for
the other. In this manner the river is
forever rearranging the flood plain.
The banks of the stream, left dry by
the vicissitudes of river cutting, tumble
down, and bank goes through process
much like that of the mountain slope.

WORKING FOR THE CITY.
Painful Exertions of Seven Mon Who Were
Laying Granite Blocks.

Painful Exertions of. Seven Mon Who We're
Laying Granite Blocks.
Seven men were engaged on job Of
relaying the granite blocks for short
distance at the corner of Amsterdam av.
and Slst ST., said writer in the New York
Herald. 1t is a beautiful neighborhood.
The genial sun bent over the honest toll
ers and kissed them. Fat, rosy-cheeked
fellows were these toilers, and one was
old and stiff in the joints, and the noses
of all were hand-painted.
They moved with the sun, and looking
at the sun and then again at the honest
toilers it was difficult to tell which moved
the fastest.
They were working for the city.
1t was easy to see that work came hard
to them-they were not accustomed to it.
No more than two were actually at
work at any single moment. When the
biggestsand latest and handsomest man
thrust his shovel in the sand the rest
stopped and gazed on him as if in admira-
ton. He didn't do it like any other man
who ever lived, and I, too, paused to see
it.
He stuck the edge of the spade in,the
sand. Then he turned around and looked
at the party and smiled. Then he put
one foot on the blade and pushed it in
gently-as if he felt sorry for the sand.
He left it there for about five minutes
while he talked to couple Of men on the
curb. During the interval two other men
laid two blocks.
While they stopped to wipe the honest
sweat from their brows the other man
came back and wiggled the shovel, ap-
parently to ascertain whether it hadn't
grown up solid where it stuck. Finding
that it hadn't he leaned on it and took off
his hat and wiped his forehead.
Then, slowly replacing his hat, he wig
gled the spade again, and bending over
with evident pain, grasped it with his
powerful right hand.
My nervous system was now strained
to the highest tension. But he didn't
lift it. He was merely demonstrating
how he would lift it when he got ready.
When this happenedin the course of three
or four minutes, he resolutely bent.over in
the sunshine once more and bravely
raised the spade.
Shaking half of its load off for another
trip, he carried the remainder to the spot
where the two blocks had been laid and
sprinkled it in the crevices. Then he fee
bly, stuck the spade in the sand again and
took off his hat and let the breeze from
the noble Hudson fan his fevered cheek.
TO work comes hard BUTT comes hard
indeed to work for great, big, rich and
lazy city.

A Liar Rebuked.
from New York Journal

Gen. Porter told good story on a
friend the other day. 1t seems that the
friend was calling on young lady some
years ago and sitting on the sofa with
her when he said he loved her, and she
in sort of shy, -been-talked-
to-like-this-before kind of away, asked
him if he was. sure.
81 swear it," he replied. "Why, I've
met thousands of girls, but never asked
one to kiss nae except you"
And as their lips met under the pale
light Of gorgeous piano lamp o'er-shad-
owing one of those we've-both-been-
there before many-a- time, long drawn
out kisses, picture of the Father of his
Country hanging on the wall above the
sofa fell upon him and her with "dull,
.sieken;nr thud."

Yet Major proved base migrate. A
common yellow cur wandered into the
hotel Wednesday night and Major made
his acquaintance.
The porter tolerated the yellow cur
because he was Majors company. But
that was mistake. The yellow cur put
mischief into Majors head and the two
wandered away together.
That is the last that has been heard of
Major. The manager has advertised in
all the papers, offering liberal reward
for Majors return, all to no avail.
The yellow dog has not been heard of
either

The Work of the American Sunday School
Union In New England.

Union In New England.
The American Sunday-schOol Union is
proposing large increase of it's work In
New England. With the steady with
drawal Of population from the hill towns
to the cities, and the large influx of i'm
migrants, the religious condition Of New
England is far different from what it
once was, and in many communities
where formerly were strong churches,
they are now dead or dying, and whole
districts have ceased to 60 to church. To
meet this condition of things little union
Sunday schools in retired rural districts
have proved peculiarly helpful. Messrs.
B. P. Capshaw, VIM. E. Keith, and
Charles II. Palmer, the first named a
graduate of the Springfield School for
Christian Workers, the last two students
in the same institution, went out the mid
die of June to take up the work of the
Sunday-school Union In New England,
Mr.. Capshaw and Mr.. Keith will work in
Maine, the former chiefly In Aroostook
and Penobscot counties, the latter in
Washington, Hancock, and Waldo coun-
ties. Mr.. Palmer is to labor in northern
Vermont. Mr.. Keith and Mr.. Palmer are
under commission for three months only;
Mr.. Capshaw is engaged for permanent
service. The Sunday-school Union and
the Maine State Sunday school Associa-
ton have combined in securing the ser
vices of Mr.. Capshaw. His salary will be
paid by these two organizations conjoint-
ly, and he will equally promote the work
of both. This can be easily done since
the State association desires that existing
schools be brought into closer utilization
and be led to adopt the best methods,
while the Sunday-school Union seeks to
organize new schools in destitute neigh
borhoods and in general to promote evan
gelistic work.
