Glenny & Co.'S Cotton Report.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 19.-Glenny
& Co. says: "Liverpool closed
1-64 lower than Saturday. Sales Of
spots, 5000 bales; mid, Al. New
York opened 3 points lower, de-
clined and at p. m. was 6 points
lower than Saturday. Again
Liverpool was disappointing, and
instead of advancing in re-
spouse to the American markets
of Saturday. Prices there marked
decline of 9th, and private
cables reported the decline in fu-
lures due to the weakness of spots.
In consequence, our market opened
to points lower, and gradually
declined until noon, when prices
were 6 points lower than Saturday.
Receipts here tomorrow are esti-
mated at $500 bales, possibly 1000
bales.

Make Your Wife Barkeeper.

A good deal of practical common
sense is contained in the following
communication sent by a once
prominent actor to a friend:
My Dear -:-One gallon Of
whisky costs about $500 and con-
tains sixty-five 15s drinks. Now,
if you drink, buy gallon and make
your wife barkeeper. When you are
dry give her fifteen cents for drink
and when the whisky is gone she
will have, after paying for it, $6.75
left, and every gallon will yield
the same profit. The money she
should put away, so that when you
become an inebriate, unable to sup
port your family and Stunned by
every respectable man, your wife
may have enough to keep you until
your time comes to fill a drunk
ards grave. A REFORMER.

Queer Things in Georgia.

Probably the largest dog ever seen In
Thomasville, not excepting the huge
ST. Bernard which was here with tbs
calvin Joslyn" Company last year, was
at the depot yesterday In charge OF MS
owner, who was en- route TO Chicago.
The dog was a thoroughbred English
mastiff, and he weighed l6O pounds.
He was somewhat thin, and his owner
said his normal weight was $50 pounds
The gentleman claimed that the dog
is a grandson OF the animal given the
Prince OF Wales by General Grant just
before the latter'S death. Quite a
crowd gathered around the dog as he
lay painting on the platform. No one,
however, was courageous enough to
put his hands on him.

except the seed, which failed To show
up when the melon was eaten. II this

great thing for the melon eater.

RainnlakInC.

Now, as to the possibility OF produc-
ing rain by artificial means, ii is never
safe to say what things are possible and
what things are impossible TO man.
What the future may bring forth no
one can tell. At the present time, how
ever, there is no evidence TO show that
even the smallest local shower has been
produced artifciaily. Further than
that. IL is safe 10 say that 10 method
of producing artificial rain has vet
been publicly proposed which sug-
gests to one familiar with the scientific
principles involved even possibility OF
success. That such attempts have re-
ceived the official recognition and the
financial support OF Congress Is only an
other evidence Of the gross ignorance OF
scientific principles which is prevalent
among our so called educated men.
That some OF the men that advocate
these wild schemes are honest In their
motives cannot De questioned; but that
all the professional rainmakers are con-
scienceless fakirs is scarcely mora ques-
tionable. Professor Fernando Sanford
