COTTON.

The slow demand from spinners and the
lack of interest in the speculative mar
kets, together with the full receipts at
the ports, and the general opinion that
the present crop will turn out more than
mas been expected, caused very dull and
neglected market during the past week
There was very little trading in spots,
the sales being merely nominal. There
were several declines of Lice during the
week, but the loss was recovered after
each call at the Cotton Exchange. The
market closed quiet to-day, there being
no sales reported.

Read the PaDerS.

A daily newspaper is always printed IN a
rush. There is always something in it that
should have been left out, and something left
out that should have been put in. II is some
times 100 quick to act, but with all its short
comings there is more education in bright
newspaper than in novel You will find
the brightest boy or girl on practical, sensible,
every day questions is the one who reads the
newspapers Cumberland Times.
Very true.
The same can be stated of q weekly
newspaper, whose facilities for prompt
and regular issue are hardly ever more
than requisite for the work.
The JOURNAL lately read a letter
from an observant lady who deeply
deplored the lack of interest shown in
her own household by the younger
members for current news and liter
allure as these are reflected by the
newspapers. She went farther than
the Times comparison of news with
"novel' reading-she contended that
the. newspaper is a more substantial
and effective tutor than even the pub
lie or high school, graduation from
which, in the estimation of too many,
constituting the last necessary testi-
monial to complete preparation for life
and its serious duties. She did not
underrate the value and Importance
of the school as an essential education
al factor. but its work, to be perfect,
ought to create and stimulate an APP
petite for reading and study of current
history.
She is right. The operation is recip-
rocal. The comprehension which en-
larges to take in the lessons of passing
events thus grows in capacity to master
the problems of the school. The two
should march together.
For all school and no newspaper
reading would be quite as unfortunate
in family as all newspaper and no
school tuition.

The CHRONICLE has made repeated
calls upon those who are in arrears on
subscription, and thus fai with provok-
ingly poor success. With the large ex-
pense incurred in building a new Office,
and in the purchase of a new press, and
other supplies to replace those destroyed
by fire in July last, our financial situa-
tion, by reason of failure on the part
Of delinquents to respond to our appeal,
has become critical and fairly intolerable.
We make another-the last call. before
adopting harsher means, which we will
be compelled to do, in the event of this
last call being unheeded. In some
instances wind has been utilized as
motive power, but it has never been
successfully employed in running a
newspaper, 1t therefore becomes an ab
solute necessity for us TO have money 10
meet our obligations. Will our delin-
quent subscribers realize this fact and
make an earnest and immediate effort
to settle their accounts, and thereby
relieve us of our present embarrassment
and save themselves additional ex-
pense? For short time we await a
reply,

weeks past and stopped for day or
