Senator White wants to cut the
printers fees for publishing legal notices
to 40 cents for the first insertion, 80
cents each following. The publishers of
newspapers claim that the cutting OF
prices not only cuts off the publishers
own profits which are meager enough at
best, but will force the cut OF labor to
the lowest notch.
On the question Of amending the
divorce law, q member recalled an incl
dent in Montana. A justice of the peace
bad married q couple and he was given
a fee of 81 for the job. About year
later he received letter from the woman
saying: "You married me year ago
and was paid 81. Please find enclosed
81 for which give me q divorce"
A small collection of North Dakota
nut, seed and berry productions, which
was displayed in the state building at
the Worlds fair has been placed in the
capitol by the industrious collector,
Supt. Barrett. OF the forestry and irriga-
ton office. The list includes hazel nuts,
acorns, water melon, sundower seeds,
choke cherries, June berries and many
specimens of the curiously winged seeds
OF plants, so devised as to be widely dis
tr,buted by the winds. Mr.. Barrett'e
report embraces three departments and
IS not an expensive report. 1t is replete
with information OF a valuable kind and
upon investigation the merits of th
same are soon discovered.

THE MARKETS.
Cotton Letter.

Cotton 1etCer.
 New York Dec. 7.-(Special.) .)-Liquidatlon on both sides has been the main feature or the market this week. The absence or speculative demand induced many tired holders to sell out and the consequent re- cession in prices was taken advantage of by the buyers to cover their short engage ments. A slight decline in Liverpool this morning caused a lower opening here, January selling on the call at 8.11. The market was very dull during the two hours of trading there seemed little disposition to sell and prices hardened a few ponts, Jan uary closing at S15 bid, with the tone steady. March, which has now taken the place of January as the active trading month, opened at 822 and closed at S.26 bid. The foregn war cloud arising from the Turkish complication is just now the only serious menace to the market. But until that shall have been in some way dispelled Liverpool will probably continue more or less depressed, and any material recovery here will be delayed, but although cotton may decline a little further we incline to the belief that thre will be no important break or any recession from the present prices. We would rather buy for turn than sell. The bulk of the weakly margined long cotton has been sold out, and the market IS now in a position to respond quickly to any clearing of the political skies abroad.

WYNKEN, BLYNKEN AND NOD.

Eugene Field of Chicago, who died a few weeks since, was one of the sweet est poets America has produced in many years. His poems are always appre- ciated by the young people, We present below
 Dutch Lullaby. wynlken, Blynken and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe Sailed on a river of misty light Into a sea of dew. Where are you going, and what do you wish?" "We have come to fish for the herring fish That live in this beautiful sea; Nets of silver and gold have we,
 Wynken,
 Blynken,
 And Nod. The old moon laughed and sung song As they rocked in the wooden shoe. And the wind that sped them all night long Ruff1ed the waves of dew The little stars were the herring fish That lived in the beautiful sea. Now cast your nets wherever you wish, But never afeard are we!' So cried the stars to the fishermen three.
 Wynken.
 Blynken,
 And Nod All night long their nets they threw For the fish in the twinkling foam, Then down from the sky came the wooden Bringing the fishermen home; Twas all so pretty a sail 1t seemed As if 1t could not be; And some folks thought twas a dream they'd dreamed Of sailing that beautiful sea; But I shall name you the fishermen three:
 Wynken,
 Blynken,
 And Nod Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes, And Nod is a little head. And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies Is a wee ones trundle bed; So shut your eyes while mother sings Of wonderful sights that be, And you shall see the beautiful things As you rock on the misty sea, Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three

Chicago Change.


 Chicago, Dec Tt was one set of local traders arrayed against another today, with the advantage shifting at intervals, the bears having slightly the better of the argu. small, but the home professionals succeeded in furnishing enough to keep the market fairly active during the half session. Be- cause Liverpool failed to respond to yes terdays advance in American markets it was considered reasonable that we should recede from the position attained The opening was therefore at a loss from yester- days closing, but several prominent traders were thought to have changed front and their followers also became buyers, a mod crate rally resulting. The offerings of Hong" wheat, however, very shortly pc came heavy, and the support having been withdrawn a drop to the opening hgures took place. May wheat opened from 6lR to 613sc, advanced to 621sc, closing at 6lss@ was firm, with little, if any change in prices; l. Corn-The market for corn as measured by the volume of business was of decided ly uninteresting kind. The range was re- guided solely by the action of wheat. Be- iievers in corn argue that although the crop was large the consumption will for that reason be correspondingly great, and even reckless. The bull hopes are based on that condition. May corn opened at 29Bc, sold between 29A and 29c, closing at 291sc, shade under yesterday. Cash corn was quiet but steady.
 Oats-In line with the usual course and action of this market, it was in sympathy with wheat and corn. whilst ruling dull and almost nfeless. May oats closed a shade under yesterday. Cash oats were quiet ana steady.
 Provisions-The hog market was weak and gave an excuse for a similar course at the opening of the products market, Later rria closed 5@71sc lower. May lard and ribs each 2R0D5c lower.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

of little value. Plato claimed that the mind is self-active; yet his theory, if fol lowed out, seems to lead to the contrary conclusion. According to him, ideas are awakened not by the senses, but through them. These ideas already exist; they are "reminiscences of a former existence. If this be so then Plato was wrong in claiming activity for the soul. It is merely passive receptacle from which reminiscent ideas are called forth by means of the senses.
 The tendency of Plato's doctrine of magnifying the general at the expense of the particular led to placing the genus or species above the individual. This is pushed to an offensive extreme in his "Republic," where the child belongs to the state and calls every woman mother, knowing no mother.
 Prof. J. c. DuBose was called to read his paper on "The Philosophy of Aris- totle." Professor DuBose thought the hour too late to open so broad a sup ject, and asked to be excused until the next meeting. He thought that Plato 8 theory was a grand one, most wonderful in its correspondence with divine revela- tion in so many particulars, yet he agreed with Miss Cahalan in feeling some repul- sion towards his theory of metempsy- chosis.
 Great interest was developed in the subject under discussion, and the mem bers are looking forward with great pleasure to the next meeting, which will be devoted to the consideration of the philosophy of Aristotle.
 The next meeting will be held at the South Highlands academy.

bales for spinners.
 Port receipts, 36,700 bales, against 3o,O55 bales a week ago.
 The New Orleans estimated receipts for Monday are 16,O00 to 1900 bales, against +, ASA bales last Monday.
 The receipts at the ports this week are estimated by New Orleans at 23O,0OO bales, allowing for 10000 bales to be cleared from Port Royal, against 231 157 bales last week.
 Today's features: Notwithstanding the fact that Liverpool news was disappointing and that speculation was small there was only a slight decline in the early business here, and even this was very saoon recover ed and small net value was established. Liverpool sold the summer months to some extent. Today the market seemed to be for the moment oversold, and as the crop move ment is small and Liverpool, though slightly steady on the spot. the bears deemed t prudent to cover, and prices accordingly closed slightly higher. The weak long in- terest has been estimated as large, and the bulls think the undertone is based on the low supply and demand.

QUERY.

Cut Rates From All Quarters to the Expos-
 tion Except Alabama The following communication speaks for itself:
 To the State Herald:
 I see a little sketch from the press once in a while about Alabama people not talk ing any interest in the Atlanta exposi- tion. Why don't the railroads take an interest and cut rates for Ala bama as other states? l see Texas has SIP rate. It seems that Alabama might get $1.5C rate. Several from this place want to go, but cannot stand the $3.20 rate. Take the matter up and let's all go.
