THE SUNS COTTON REVIEW.

NEW YORK, June 16.-The Suns cotton re- view says:
 Higher Liverpool, the cheapness of the price here, the end of the western strike, rather more cheerfulness and activity in cotton goods, the hope that the tariff discussion is nearly over, and that as soon as the question is settled general business will revive, are among the factors which have more or less strengthening effect on cotton prices. The crop news is favorable, but for all that the bears are cautious.

 NEW YORK, July 16.-Speculaton at the stock exchange was more active today and the nndertone of the market was frmer. Profess sional tia lers were arrayed on the bull side of Inc account, and they forced some of the chronic bears to cover rather extensively in -GeCtain stocks, notably the Changers and American Sugar.

WOMAN AS FARM Frs.
California Boasts a Number of Very Sue
cessful Ones.

California boasts of number of women

money and keep healthy and happy. says
the New York World. OF course, the
comforts of farm life are greater than
they are in the East, and there is posi-
bility of gaining more than mere llv-
ing, Some of the women farmers have
won more than mere local fame. Mrs.
Thedosia Shepherd, of Ventura is known
in the East as cultivator of California
flowers, seeds, bulbs, etc. Mrs. Strong is
known far and wide as the woman who
makes good income by raising and sell
ing pampas grass. Mrs. E. p. sBucking-
ham, Of Vacaville is an orchardist
whose fruit commands the highest prices
in the Eastern markets.
Another successful agriculturlst is
Mrs. Georgia Mcbride. A dozen years
ago she was an inavlid, widow. poor
and with four boys to bring up. She
knew nothing of fruit raising, but, with
magnificent feminine recklessness, she
purchased 3S acres of land near San Jose,
and set it out as an orchard. Now she
is prosperous, healthy, wealthy, as the
wage earners go, and an enthusiastic ad-
vocate OF farming for women.

influence is exerted by the birth of
twins. Other switt-moving, ribbon
shaped surface fishes, as the thread eel,
the cutlass fish, SC, have been reported
asssyoung sea serpents.
8. The great frill-shark (Chlamydose-
lachus sanguineus) has been reported as a
sea serpent. 1t was correctly drawn as
such by Maine fisherman before Its oc-
currence in the A Atlantic Ocean was

to be fifteen feet or more in length 1t
has the general structure of the shark,
or, rather. of the extinct shark, for one
has to go back to the carboniferous age
to find any like him. This shark, with
it's frill of gills aobut it's neck, is one Of
the rarest of fishes, only about four eN-
isting in collections. 1t is thought TO be
the Oldest living vertebrate, for all other
sharks of similar structure have long
since passed away. 1t is the original of
the sea serpent that swims low, with it's
head under water.
Z. The great killer, or gladiator (Orca-
orca).
This creature is water mammal allied
to the porpoise and dolphin. 1t is very
swift and strong, and OF so savage dis
position that it is the terror of whales,
seals, sharks, sword fishes, aud of large
fishes generally 1t reaches a length OF

by fishermen, but this summer it served

The final vote on the passage of the
Wilson bill will be taken tomorrow. 1t
is generally believed that the bill will
pass though the income tax alta chment
will ALLEVIATE some votes which otherwise
it would have obtained. If all the DEM
ocrats should vote as they think the hill
would probably be defeated, but party
pressure and patronage have so far kept
many dissatisfied from boiling, and they
will probably be potent to the end. An
other consideration that is keeping many
dissatisfied Democrats in line is the be-
lief that the bill will be defeated in the
Senate. or greatly modified. This is par
Sicularly true as regards the Democratic
opponents of the income tax, who would,
undoubtedly, vote against the whole bill
if they did not firmly believe that the
Senate could be relied upon to knock
out the income tax feature. 1t is gener-
ally understood that when the bill gets
to the Senate, that body, under the guise
Of amending it, will prepare , a substan-
TALLY new bill, which will differ in
many essential points from the Wilson
measure In the new bill coal, iron and
sugar are expected to appear on the
dutiable list, and the income tax not to
appear at all.

1T their true value, which is nothing
Nobody will hesitate to buy one of the
Bonds because they denounce them.
But these bonds are being discredited
in some quarters that are respectable
enough to do mischief and apparently
without any good reason. Secretary
Carlisle's right to issue these bonds I'M
der the act of 1875 seems to be AS clear
as anything can be. The conditions ex-
Ist which that act contemplates, and for
which it provides. The reserve fund for
the redemption of the green backs has
been impaired to the extent, OF so, 000-
600 or SIS, 900, 000 and there is no way
to supply the deficiency except by the
issue and sale of bonds. This, the act of
1875 clearly authorizes the Secreta ry to
do. 1t is mistake to suppose the judi
ciary. committee of the House has adopt
ed resolution which questions or dis
putes the legality of the issue. 1t has
done no such thing. 1t has merely re-
solved that the use of the proceeds of
the bonds for any other purpose than to
maintain the gold reserve would sbe lille
gal That may be. Indeed the weight of
argument would seem to be in that di-
rection. But even should Secretary
Carlisle misapply the proceeds of the
bonds that would not invalidate the
bonds themselves. 1t might subject the
Secretary to impeachment, but it would
not impair the bondholders' security. The
government would be under no less OBJ
legation to pay them than if their pro-
ceeds had been applied strictly in accord
ance with law.
Secretary Carlisle has done the best
thing he could under the circumstances.
His issue of bonds is clearly legal, and
though it would have been possible to
issue bonds under more favorable con-
ditions could the cooperation of Con-
gress have been obtained, Secretary Car
Isle is not to blame for not obtaining
it inasmuch as the heterogeneous ele-

COLD sEA-sERPENT FACTS.
Not the Slightest Evidence That Such a
Creature Inhabited the Sea.

The question of the existence of the
"sea serpent" is solely one of fact. There
is no prior reason why such reptiles
could not exist, ssand creatures to which
such name would apply did exist
in abundance in mesozoic times.
Nevertheless, although there have been
many reports of the discovery of the
"sea SERPENT" there is not at present the
slightest positive evidence in proof that
such creature now inhabits the sea.
1t is not within the realm of probability
that any marine reptiles of large size
other than sea turtles now exist.
The sea has been as fully explored as
the land. The fishes of the sea, from the
surface to the depth of five miles, are
as we'll known as the animals of similar
size on any of the continents except
Europe. The larger animals which swim
near the surface in the open ocean are
for the most part well known, and have
been known ever since oceanic naviga-
ton began. Probably not half a dozen
species of marine animals reaching a
length of fifteen feet have been discov-
cred in our century Most of those now
known were known to the ancients.
The sea serpent stories may be CLASH
fed as follows:
/. Pure inventions, forecastle yarns,
&c. ".
2. Alcoholism.
5. Stories with foundation of fact,
the basis being seal, fragment of a
wreck, a long slip of kelp, or some other
natural object mistaken for a serpent.
4. Practical jokes. as the india-rubbe
sea serpent seen on Silver Lake, N. Y,
about 1885, This appeared usually in the
evening and in sight of the verandah of
the hotel.
5. The great oarfish, or king of the
herrings [Regalcus glesne J This is a
long, slender, ribbon-shaped fish of the
open sea- 1t swims in swift undulations,
with great speed, on the surface of the
water 1t reaches a length of twenty
feet or more. The dorsal fin on its head
forms a high crest, like the name of Il
horse, and the fish is altogether strik-
ing object. 1t has been but once taken
in American waters specimen having
| come ashore in Bermuda some years ago.
This fish is remotely allied to the mack
erel. According to DR.. Goode, all the sea
serpents with "upreared head and the
name of horse" can be referred to
Regalecus. A smaller fish of his type
too small to seem like serpent. is &C.
