Gotten In the Tropics.

Awriter in the Nineteenth century,
referring to the cultivation Of the
staple, says Cotton, though largely
produced in the tropics, comes In far
larger quantity from temperate cli-
mates. In 1891 the United States ex-
ported in quantity 2, 907, $3.50, 900 pounds
valued at $500, 0,7l2,0 900, or nearly Geo.
000, 900, and Egypt exported quantity
Of the value of about G9,00O,0O0,
while theexport of tropical India was
in quantity only SAG, ,390,5l2 pounds,
valued at fi2,743,679, the contribu-
tions of the rest of the world being
comparatively insignificant. During
the civil war in North America,
which caused partial failure of the
worlds cotton suppy, many attempts
were made elsewhere to fill the void
thus created in the market, and sew
eral tropical countries (within my
own experience Fiji and Guiana)

ceiyed counsel from the gods. Possi-
bly, if he had been less fortunate and
skillful as u general, they would not
have been so easily deceived.
One time the Romans besieged one
Of his strongholds. There was but
one well in the place and a large body |
of helpless people thronged within
the walls. The besiegers, however,
hoping to surprise the place, took
with them only five days provisions.
Sertorius, bearing Of the siege, gave
out that he had consulted with the
goddess Diana and that he could save
the place. He therefore ordered two
thousand skins to be filed with water
and sent them by the swlitest and
trustiest messengers up over the
mountains by a circuitous route, with
directions to remove all useless per-
sons when they delivered the water.
The plan succeeded admirably ana
the Romans were accordingly kept
before the place longer than they ex'
pccted to be, and, when they sent a
detachment away for supplies, Serto-
rius pounced upon them and defeated
them, scattering them in all direc
tions. The Spaniards were certain
that Sertorius had been aided by hi'

"There is reason to believe" says
the Port Gibson Reville, "that the
South has passed her darkest days,
and that better times are in store for
her. The fact is at last seen and
acknowledged that the large produc-
tion of cotton destroys all hope OF
high prices for that staple. Farmers
will thereto cease to rely on this
crop alone, and will turn their atten-

many years of hard experience to
