Destiny of the South.

As things are now in the southern states the man does not live that can make money ill farming there. The price of cotton has dropped for a quarter of a century with q regularity that eliminates the element of chance and points to some law of markets that is out of the reach of fertilizers or any de- vice of agriculture. It is this law that the planters are looking for.
 There is a fine spirit of scientific dis covery abroad ill the southern states. If it does not amount to a great intellec- tual awakening, then the signs that have always attended popular move ments do not apply ill this instance.
 It is the manifest destiny of the south to proclaim some cardinal principles of political economy in the near future. It might seem extravagant to say that tine hope of the nation rests with the south, but in these days of political and com mcrcial consternation much more ex- travagant things are afioat ill the prints. In working out the destiny of the south the problem of the nation itself may in deed be solved. There arc qualities in the character of the south that will in- evitably bring these people to the front -Donahos's Magazine.

An sTnteiiectuaf Winter" Contemplated by
 Leaders of New Yo<k.s Four Hundred.
 New York's swell society, which has been wont to divert itself with the gam bols of Carmencita and the prestidigi- tations of Q Hermann, has found a new fad and is going in for what it calls an intellectual winter" The pace was set by Mrs. Paran Stevens. the rich. original and possibly eccentric lady jo- cosely spoken of as ''society's godmoth- err" and by Mrs Jordan L. Mott. both inspired by Lady Randolph Churchill. The last two arc cousins, and when Lady Churchill was merely Miss Jennie Jerome she exercised a great influence over her family, an influence now great ly increased. of course In conjunction with Lady Lester-Kaye she quite trans formed one section of London society, and now New York swelldom is to have its turn.
 There is to be no frivolity. All amusements are to have an intellectual cast There will be readings from their own works by great authors; lectures on great topics. chiefly historical; dis courses on the philosophy of music and such. Possibly. if swelldom can stand it, there will Do clippings into the oc-

cult, soarings after the infinite and div ings after the unfathomable. with side remarks on the persistence of force and the mode of immortality. All these things, however. will be made as attract i've as possible. especially the historic essays. for Froudo is Mrs Stevens ideal. and not Carlyle
 Mrs. Jordan L. Mott has long been known in society as m ardent admirer of Napoleon. and her collection of sou venirs of the first empire is large and valuable. Grave historians arc to en- tighten her guests on that era. and it is said she has employed several young writers to make special studies of cer- tain epochs in the great warriors ca- reer. John Jacob Astor will open his magnificent residence as soon as it is completed to literary men of every de- gree of cminence. Two novelists, both popular, though in different ways. will be asked to read in several saloons namely, Marion Crawford and A Conan Doyle. Mrs Andrews has secured a great French writer for her parlors. Other ladies have taken specialties in art, and these are but a few of many intellectual diversions prepared for the winter

The last dream of all was the one which made the deepest impression on me. It was of Lief again, but as I had never seen her.

A MARKED IMPROVEMENT.
The Business Outlook Generally Has a
 Brighter Appearance.

The Business Outlook Generally Has a
 Brighter Appearance.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-R. c. Dun 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade says today:
 Retail trade, the last step in the move ment from producer to consumer, is at the same time the first step upon which de- pend empty shelves in the stores and fu- ture orders to the mills. After months of unnatural economy, buying should be large enough to send tho mills further orders very soon. Special inquiry has been made this week at all commercial centers regarding the state of retail trade and many answers were given.
 Wide diversity appears in different trades, and the details of business ut tho different cities merit general attention. Tho main facts disclosed are, first, marked improvement within the past month and a considerable excess over busi ness done a year ago, particularly in the necessaries of life. But, second, it appears that the volume of trade at present Is on the whole considerably less than in a nor nal year at most points, and in the moro important trades is apparently about 20 per cent smaller than in September, 1893.
 Evidence of continued improvement in wholesale trade and manufacture does not appear this week. There is largo distribu- tion on orders given some time ago, but new business going to the manufacturers is everywhere slackcning. Tho complo- tion of orders for replenishment of stocks leaves 0 narrow demand, and it is yet too early for consumption to provide further orders
 Tho volume of business reported by clear ings at tho chief cities Is 6. 9p DOT cont larg CT than last year. but 2l.S per cont less than in 1893, and for the month of Sop tember the daily average has bcen s13i.- 900, 900, against s123, 900, 900 last year be- fore recovery from the panic had come and $I77, 900, 900 in 1892. As these include payments resulting from trade deferred during months of uncertainty, tho com parison is but moderately encouraging.

The clay used is kaolin and is shaded from rcd and gray to white and costs about cent a pound A good jossmaker can earn from 20 to 70 cents n day. while an image costs to make on an average about 3 cents Natives pay 5 cents for them; foreigners, $5. losses can be made in all col0rs. opaque. trans parent or colorleSs. Tho most effective work Is made by painting the clay with thick white paint and then dippin; it in the glaze. Chinese curiO dealers arc very fond of antique iosses. as they cen be planted and dug up to order from the tAl1lc OA Ng AAo The most popular is the ''black joss '' This is made by painting kaolin cast with paint made of tar. bitumen, shellac or varnish. wrapping it in paper and then firing it in furnace In this way any shade of black can be obtained. and the color burns through. as can be proved by breaking.

He Says FitZsimmons Must First Defeat
 Steve O'DonneII.
 PoRTLAND, Me, Sept. 29.-James J. Corbett has given out a copy of letter mailed to Bob Fitzsimmons, in which he says:
 "Mr. Robert Fitzsimmons, Champion
 Middleweight:
 DEAR SIR-I have read in the papers your very amusing challenge to me. You say that the Olympic club offers O purse. Well, maybe they do but I have never heard from them yet You put Sl0, 900 in the Olympic clubs hands. Why don't you put 1t up in some newspaper offico or some place where a man can sec 1t, or is the Olympic club backing you2 However, that's neither here nor there. I suppose you are afraid if you put the money In any other place besides the Olympic club some one else might cover it? It is not neces- sary for me to give a reply to your ohal- lenge because you are well aware that I will not accept 1t unless you prove your self a champion heavyweight and not a middleweight."
 Corbett then devotes several sheets of white paper to similar talk and winds up as follows:
 'I never even noticed you and don't in- tend to unless you prove yourself a cham pion heavyweight MT Steve O'Donnell, my present sparring partner. an unde- feated man. has $10, 900 that he can de- feat you. He will box you from one round to finish, for fun or for money. If you will only meet him and defeat him, l will accept an offer of $25, 900 from the Olympic club, and will give you all the fight you want If you want to fight me, this Is the only way you can ever get me to make a match with you for there Is no power on earth that will mako me notice you until you have de- featcd Steve O'Donnell, and any further talk from you will consider and simply put down as a bluff. I put myself on record in black and white that if you de- feat O'Donnell will fight you for the championship of the world and all the money you like. This is positively my ultimatum- Yours truly, JAMES J. CoRBETT, Champion of the World" "
