COTTON LETTER
Furnished by c P. Dyal < Co.,, Brokers
 and Commisson Merchants

PINE BLUFF, Dec. 12.-,Ehere was but little interest in Cotton markets today. Liverpool opened at about yesterday's close and closed d little better, but spots were eff 1-32. Our future market opened at about yes terday's $ close, but quickly showed signs of weakness, which was man. tested until the close, which was about points from yesterday. Close at about yesterday $ lowest figures. New York lost 1-l6 on spots, and New Orleans un- changed, but it is reported that con sessions were being made. Port re- ceipts came in heavier than was ex- pected. Heavy consignments of cot ton is reported at Port Royal and other ports awaiting steamers for transportation, which is expected to increase port shipments soon. 1t is expected this evening that Liverpool will show considerable weakness in the morning, which will doubtless cause lower opening, at our markets tomorrow. The future market seems to show considerable more strength than spots, doubtless caused by free buying by those who look upon cotton as being a safe invest ment at present prices.

OFFER SIDE oE TIE MOON.
An Interesting Lesson In Astronomy For
 Bright Boys and Girls.

An Interesting Lesson In Astronomy Tor
 Bright Boys and Girls.
 One evening after 1 had given my lee ture on A Trip to starlando little boy came to sne and asked mo why I had not said anything about the Hother side of the moon. He was very much surprised when told him that no one has ever seen the other side of the moon Sometimes we get little glimpses of it, round the corner, as it were, and as- tronomors call this by the long word li- bration which, pat into simple Ian. guaae, means swinging or swaying Whilo in tAe long run the moon keeps the se5ao face toward the earth, 1t is not so from day to day. Sometimes the people OH earth oan sec little farther round one sitie of the moon and some times a littlo farther round tho other side This is called ibration i'll longi- tude. Sometimes NO can seo little more of the south pole and then a lit tie moro of the north pole. This is call- cd libration in latitude. When we arc able to look over whatever edge of the moon is uppermost when it is near tho horizon, that is called diurnal libra tion, or daily swaying. On account of these librations or swayings we see more than one-half of the moons sur face.
 The moon has three motions: Firstly, as it is the attendant of the earth, it goes round and round the earth sec ondly, as 1t has to go wherever the earth goes, and as the earth goes around the sun, the moon and the earth go round the sun togetheri thirdly, the moon turns round on it's axis onee a month, in exactly the same time that it takes in going around the earth. The days and nights on the moon are therefore about two weeks in length.
 We see today precisely the same face of the moon which Galilei saw when he first looked at it with his telescope The opposite face has never been seen from the earth and probably never will be. Let me show you why this is. Put ball upon the center of a round table and call it the earth. Stand looking at the ball with your back to the door aud call yourself tho moon. Now move round the table, always looking at the ball in the middle of the table, and you will find that when you have been once round the table you will also have made your body turn once round upon itself, for your back is again toward the door. If you had fastened a string to the han de Of the door before you started to go round the table, and had fastened the other end round your arm, you would find that you had wound the string once around you when you had made one surn round the table In the same man. ner the moon revolves round the earth, keeping always the same side turned toward us.
 In the olden times people believed that on the side of tho moon we cannot see there is 8 beautiful land, where all the good people go when they die, while all those who were wicked on earth have to dwell on the side of the moon turned toward us, where they are forever tor mented by the sight of the scenes of their former wickedness. This, howey- CT, is only legend or story, which no one believes now.-Mary Proctor i'll New York World.

 We will profit nothing by it, Ard it never yet has eased mortal's lot. The old earth will get her wetting
 Spite of all our frowns and fretting And just whether we approved of it or not. There may be some solaee waiting
 If we only try to find it, Some diversion to compensate for our loss.
