COTTON AND TOBACCO.
Old-Time Prices of These Commodities in
 the South.

O1d-T1me Prices of These Commodities in
 the South.
 "We have before us,'' says the Rich mond Journal of Commerce, sales of two bales of cotton and two hOgsheads of tobacco sold at Norfolk, Va, June 9, 1881, by James Gordon, lifetime commission merchant of that city. The weights of the bales of cotton were 312 and 330 pounds. Price, 6T cents-net sales, S61.24. Weight of the two hogs heads of tobacco, 1875 and 1,476 pounds. Price, S2.50 and $3.25 per 100 pounds. Net sales of both, S6S. 35. The accompanying letter says: I fear you will be disappointed in the sales of the tobacco. I confess it seems to me a low price, but assure you nothing better can be done here.'
 ':.We are not posted as to how long after this leaf tobacco was sold that Norfolk continued tobacco market.
 ''Wonder if treaty was ever entered into between Norfolk and Richmond, that the one should sell cotton and the other tobacco without business compe- titiOn. If we so conclude the treaty was like that of William Penn and the Indians, unwritten-for it has been faithfully kept to the present day.
 "The tobacco farmer of the hour may glean ray of consolation as contemplates the price of tobacco in 1881 and compares it with it's value in 1893, and consoles himself with the knowledge that our fathers received less than present prices.''

 THE Indians in some parts of Oregon, notably Grant, are offering ponies for sale at from $2.5O to $7 apiece. The high water prevented the usual run of salmon in the big rivers and this has meant a great loss to the Indians, many being practically ruined thereby.

 A correspondent of Nature, at Chris tiana, gives an account of very cu- rious phenomenon witnessed from the top of Gausta mountain (height GOOD Norwegian feet) in Telemarken, south of Norway. We were a party, he says, of two ladies and three gentlemen on the summit of this mountain on Au- gust 4. On the morning of that day the sky was passibly clear; at noon there was a thick fog. Between six and seven o'clock inthe afternoon (the wind being south to southwest) the fog suddenly cleared in places so that we could see the surrounding country in

STATEHOOD NOTICE.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting Arizona passed the house of representatives by very large majority, and the further fact that the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early admission, we concluded that it was unneces- sary to re-convene the statehood convention This conclusion has been submitted to various of the committees of the convention and they have all concurred therein
 We therefore announce that the meeting Of the statehood eonventi )n that was to have been held on January Il, 1891, is indefinitely post poned.

DO AS THEIR FATHERS DID.

Philadelphia People and Their Curious
Notions of Social Eligibility.
Philadelphians well deserve their
reputation for slowness. Progression
is an unknown word in the Quaker
city. The fashionable people scorn
any innovations. as they desire to con-
tinue to do as their fathers did. When
you look upon the number of slow and
uncertain horse-car lines and the ag-
gravating speed of their cable cars,
says a writer in the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, you can well judge the tempera-
ment of people who will stand by
and suffer such things. PhiladelPhians
are perhaps the most peculiar, clan
nish, Interchangeable people that exist
in any city of the country. They pos
sess certain traits of character and
ideas regarding sociology, which will
probably be found still thriving and
strong by anyone going to Philadel-
phia a hundred years hence. The eff
feet of the absurd idea that the eligi-
bility to soar in the mystic circles of
fashionable Quakerdom is to be de-
termined by the answer to the ques-
tiOn whether he resides uptown or
downtown can never be appreciated
by one who is not Philadelphian, or,
at least, well acquainted with that
city's social peculiarities. 1t causes
people to pay twice as much rental in
the downtown residence district for
houses not half as good as could be
gotten uptown, not to say anything of
the questionable pleasure of living
among saloons, groceries and shops of
all kinds. Instead of dying out, as
one would expect it to do in this en-
.re1,% rs,
the difference ones place of residence
makes upon his social standing is posi-
lively becoming more bitter. This is
one of the peculiarities that Philadel-
phia will retain as long as it exists.
Any attempts that have been made to
obliterate the dividing line have only
ended in dismal failure, leaving the
situation much worse than before. 1t
seems that common sense was not dis
pensed with very free hand in Phila-
delphia, at lie asst on this one point.

Deafness Cannot be cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
slition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
.iinfamed you have a rumbling sound or
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflam nation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever /;
mine cases out of ten are caused by

EARLY MARRIAGES.
Reason why such Arc to BE Regretted
Here aud in Europe.


Here aud il Europe.
Though in this country early mar
riages are less frequent than in Europe,
because here the occupations of wom-
en- are so numerous that nearly
every young woman can maintain
herself respectfully by earning her
own living, while in Europe the
same class find matrimony almost
the only avenue through which
they can escape from a dependent po-
sition at home, says the Boston Her
aid. 1t is none the less important to
know that the marriages contracted
before the parties have reached 90 are
to be regretted. The reasons are that
the offspring of women who are mar
ried before IS inherit the imperfect
physical development of their mothers
and do not reach mature life with
strong constitutions. The healthiest
offspring are born to mothers between
20 and 80, who are united to husbands
between 80 and 40, and it has been
found in Europe, where early marriages
are very common, that the deaths
of children from weak constitutions
are twice as large among the children
whose mothers were under 90 years of
age as they were among the children
of mothers who were over -. Tee
difference between Amer-ca and Eu-
rope in this matter of early marriages
is chiefly due to the way in which our
girls arc able to reach out to se1f-sup-
port after they have attained mar
riagcable age.
DIR. Cyrus Edison, in the North Amer
lean, gives important statistics to show
that, although in this country the evil
of early marriages is not so great as it
might be, the number of brides under
90 who were married in New York city
in 1891 was 1850; in 1892 it was $3.50.
The number of grooms under 20 years
of age in New York city for that year
was 145. By far the greater number of
brides are reported to have been 25 or
26 when they We're married, which is
healthy showing for an American city,
and New York is probably a fair
evidence for the age of brides in other
large towns and cities. In Hungary
the girls become women at the age of
13, and in that country Is per cent. of
the marriages shows the brides to be
under 20 years of age, and in England
12 per cent. are under that age. In
America girls are practically free to
marry when they please and the in
stinct of self-preservation has guarded
them we'll

Scientists Trying to Find Out If the EartI

Scientists Trying to Find Out If the Earth
Is on Its Base.
1t may not be very generally known,
writes Washington correspondent,
that observations are to be made si-
multaneously at Washington and at
Manila, in the Philippine islands,
which is almost directly opposite Wash
ington on the other side of the globe,
to see what is the matter with the axis
of our little planet. Observa tions
show that for some time the earth has
not been revolving on that important,
if imaginary, support, as she has done
for centuries, and scientists have de-
cided that it is time to find out, if pos
sible, what it all means. Those who
have studied the subject declare that,
if the variations continue, in the
course of some very long and very indef-
mite period we shall have an arctic
climate at Washington, and the lati-
tude of every place on the globe will
be changed, and our ge ographies will
be useless. An equat orial telescope
has been finished and sent to Manila,
and before long diligent inquiry will
be made into the why's and wherefores
of the peculiar performances of old
Mother Earth.
While one set of scientists are trying
to find out about the axis another
party is endeavoring to find out why
the magnetic needle varies so, as these
variations of the needle affect not
only the mariner, but real estate own
ers, and in large cities where every
foot is valuable this is not to be over
looked. These latter observations are
being made by the geodetic and coast
survey and will not be completed for
several years.

The little insect popularity called the

insect which usually commences its
sound late in the spring, and is no
other than the call by which the male
and female are led to each other, the
same as with birds during the mating
season. The sound they emit is not
owing to the voice of the insect but to
its beating on or striking any hard
subs tance with the shield or fore part
of its head. The'prevailing number of
strokes are from seven to nine and
eleven, and it is this circumstance
which probably adds to the ominous
character it bears among ignorant and
