EgHptiaE Cotton.

Consul Pcuield OF Cairo, Egypt in
his report to the state department
presents some interesting facts with
regard to The cultivation of Gotten in
that country. Ilrshows that the Unit
ed States are taking the staple IN
large amounts, almost all OF il going
10 the New England mills. At is mix
ed with the American staple, and Is

lean product is not adapted 1t Is
packed in bales weighing from 200 10
100 pounds and is sold by net weight.
The freight charge from Alexandra
10 Boston is SS.S7 per ton of forty Gu
bic feet. Mr.. Penield calculates that
il the American consumption WAS s,
| $4,000 bales in 1892 80. Egyptian cot.
ton was used 10 about IA per cent,
or 10000 EgypIisn bales valued at ),
100000. This seasons crop, Mr. Pen
field reports, will be excellent. The
area planted is | 800, OoU acres and this
will produce about 100000 bales OF
Egyptian standard, or |. 100000 Amer.
lean standard, SIR. Pentield, in con-
elusiuu, SAYS. "With the construction
OF reservoirs for storing the surplus

State and County Taxes IN the 18th
Section.

Squire Butler has given a vast A.
mount of time, attention and study to
the question Of collecting state and
county taxes on property which is IN
the 10th Section, which he maintains
is unjust and unconstitutional. lie
bases this assertion upon the language
OF the Constitutions o. the United
States and OF Mississippi which declare
that the State has no right to levy
taxes on government property, and
he maintains that the 10th Section is
government property, merely leased
TO the present holders for q term of
ninety nine years.
The question involved is a delicate
aud intricate one, The view that
Squire Butler takes Of The ease ia shar.
cd by eminent counsel and q test of the
case will be made at the next term of
the Court and Squire Butler a~nnounces
that he will carry 1t up 10 tie Supreme
Court OF the State and even higher if
necessary. The claim he makes is of
interest to a large number OF citizens
who own property located as above
on which the state and county taxes
are quite heavy. The outcome of his
claim will be watched with eager in.

oBEYED ORDERS STRICTLY.
How a Collector Secured Six Weeks
Holiday and Partnership.

"When l was youngster of seventeen
said a successful business man to Detroit
Free Press reporter, Il got job as col
lector with a man who was about as strict
a martinez as I ever saw. He insisted on
everything being done just as hes aid, and
there were times when life was verify
burden, but 1 stuck to him for six months,
then we had difference. It was this way:
One morning he called me up and hand
ed me a bill on a man I knew and said to
me to take it around and collect it.
".It's. one of our standbys, he said, and
every collector l ever sent to him reported
him absent or not fndable or somsthing.
Now you go and don't come back here till
you see him
do you mean that?' I asked, as two
or three clerks looked up.
:" You know me- was all he said In re-
ply, and l went out after my man.
HE wasn't at home, the people said, and
wouldn't be for six weeks. So l stuck
the bill in my pocket and went off up the
country Oh visit. The old man sent after
me half dozen times, but my folks could
only tell l was out of town, and never
paid any attention to letter | got from
the boss, but went on enjoying myself.
Then 1 came back and had a visit with
some other friends, and at the end of six
weeks I called on my man again with the
bill. found him at home, and told him
what had done, and he paralyzed me by
paying the bill with interest. Two hours
later I stepped into the bosss Office.
"'There,' said, before he had time to
gather his wits, is the amount of your bill
and interest. He was out of town for SIX
weeks, and l couldn't see him before. You
told me not to come back till | did see him,
and I was obeying yonr instructions. l
had rattling good time and the house
owes me six weeks salary.
"The old man gasped, got blue in the
face and 1 thought he was going to ex-
plode, but he didn't; be gulped it all down
and stuck ont his hand.
"'Young man. he said, you ought to
have been a soldier; I'm going to put you
in charge of the collection department and
double lyour salary. And,' concluded
the merchant, when I was twenty-five I
was partner"

When it comes to the point, it is easier

In one of the Buddhist sacred books it

the greater part of the thousand have

His Saloon in Two States. Three Counties
and Three Towns.

WooNsocKET, r. l., May 29.-Ed-
ward Cunningham, who has acquired
notoriety by managing a saloon near
this city situated so that the inside line
of the bar exactly conceded with the
State boundary, informs the newspa-
pers that he knows when he is beaten
by the law, and has closed. A few
days ago the Woonsocket police and
City Engineer, to settle the boundary,
raided the place, and Cunningham, re-
volver in hand, ordered them off his
Massachusetts, premises, and dared
them to convict him of liquor selling
in either State. Nevertheless he was
put under bonds on several complaints
for Sabbath breaking and maintaining
nuisance. His saloon was not only
in two States, but in three cities and
towns and as many counties, and the
case has baffied the police for ten
years.
