If l were to write for the papers to print,
What here L define, l opine
That my critics would say it was written

For so many dollars line.
And so. with the view that I'm writing
to you
Where no critics lances are hurled,
I'll touch the taut string of my Tyre and

Before you found dirt that would pay,
When the hope of your breast, like the

Burned brightest at close of the day.

And we sat, where your cabin smoke

Then in unstinted lays 1 could pour out

'The news of Jackson's find soon

New Orleans Cotton Exchange wired
Jackson that they would take his en-

sent them a sample stalk and fixed
his price at $500 per bushel. He has
about twenty bushels, and the South
Georgia farmers went the New Or

ed $4,000 for the entire lot. They

ton will soon become a drug on the
market, and on account of over-pro-
duction they will not be able to make
a living. Jackson does not feel i'll

will plant it they will be able to
raise larger crops on less ground,
and the omission of fertilizers will
be a big saving in the seasons eN-

the poorest part of the ground, and
the rest of the land can be devoted
to some other crop.
ga comparative table showing the
results of the two kinds of cotton
seeds would be startling in the ex-
IRENE. Where the planter now counts

new plants he will get at least two
bales to the acre, and Mr.. Jackson

the plant gets thoroughly acclimated

an acre. It means revolution in the
cotton industry from the farmer to

been introduced by grower in the
Southern States. This cotton, the
seed of which came from Central
Africa, is said to grow to the height
of twenty feet, with from four to six
pounds of cotton on each stalk. This
story as told by the exchange, is to
the effect that two years ago a cot
ton planter by the name of Jackson,
living just outside of Atlanta, Ga,
was introduced to an African eXplOr-
err. The returned traveller told him
of the enormous height to which cot
ton grew in Central Africa. 1t reach

stalks were peculiar in that they
were bare of leaves when the. ma

cotton plant also in the fact that it

civilized prototype, but would grow

he gave Jackson some seeds of the
African product, which he brought
with him.
The exchange above referred to
gives the following version Of this re-
markable story, which will be receiv-
ed with some doubt until it has been
fully confirmed:
Last week a committee represent
ing the planters of South Georgia
called on Jackson, prepared to offer
him $4,000 for the twenty bushels
of the seed of the new cotton which
he has as the result of the seasons
crop. And the peculiar part of the
story is that they did not want the
seed for planting purposes, but if the
purchase could be consumated they
intended burning every seed.
"What elapsed in the course of the
two years does not seem remarkable;
it is the beginning and the result
that is startling. jackson believed
the travellers tale and planted the
seed. The first crop was small, but
it more than fulfilled his anticipa-
tons. H carefully treasured the seed
from the crop and last year planted
it on the west hills of his plantations.
AS every one familiar with cotton
culture knows, this kind of land is
the poorest in the world for raising
the staple, and unless it is heavily
fertilized an attempt to raise any
thing there is time and money use
lessly expended. But Jackson want
ed to give it the severest possible
test, so he planted the crop on the
west hills of his lands, and did not
add a pound of fertilizer to enrich
the earth The remark was marvel
Gus. Some of the stalks grew to sew
en- feet, and the average height OF all
of them was very close to that fig
ure. The number of bOlls on the
stalks were in proportion to the 9TH

as twenty hollis to a single stalk were
counted. On the ordinary cotton
stalk four hollis is considered good

seed is equal to the best grade OF the

MADRID, March Aft one NAV iuIpe
by the things that have been said and
some of the things that have been
done yesterday the Spanish people are
enthusiastically determined to go to
war forthwith with the United States
and to speedily avenge the insult
which, it is fancied, has been offered
to the naughty pride of Spain by the
United States senate in determining
to recognize the Cuban provisional gov
eminent as belligerent power and to
ask the president to use his good of.
fees with Spain to obtain recognition
OF Cuban independence. Some of the
organs OF public opinion declare that
the bankruptcy of the Spanish govern
ment would not prevent the Span
ish people from taking up the
quarrel on their own account
and fitting up expeditions and
maintaining themselves at their own
expense while combating the inso-
lence of the assertions of the United
States. The day has been character
lied by many manifestations of public
wrath and excitement, and in BARGE
Iona the Spaniards have gone to the
extreme by using violence upon the
consulate Of the United States and
stoning it. The excited crowd gathered
before the consulate and shouted,
Long Live SPAIN" and "Down with
the Yankees" These verbal missiles
did not long satisfy the passions of the
mob, and in short time stones began
flying from the crowd. The force of
police which had been sent to protect
the consulate waited for no further
manifestation, but charged the crowd
and roughly dispersed them, wounding
several. So far as learned there were
no fatal results.
In view of the excited state of the
public mind the United States legation
in this city has been placed under the
special surveillance of the police.
The student class seems to form a
large proportion of the inflammatory
element which is making SO much
noise. The students of the city are
busily at work to organize great
demonstration of protest against the
vote of the United States senate. At
Alvincia yesterday all the students of
the university paraded the streets and
then gathered before the United States
consulate shouting death to Uncle
Sam" "Vive Spain" and Long live the
army"
The Impartial says on the crisis:
"It things reach the goal which Amer
leans desire, the whole Of Spain will
rise against the United States. Neither
in the Mediterranean, whose entrance
we command, nor in the Atlantic, will
an American merchantmen be safe,
for we shall organize privateers on
great scale. We conquered Napoleon
by guerrilla warfare, and we shall en-
ploy a system of privateers to over

Ordinary digestion is performed in

THE ACIDS OF FRUITS,
Numerous Kinds Found In the Different
Varieties.

NoAneHouS MINUS rOun0 In the Different
Varieties.
The grateful acid of the rhubarb leaf
arises from the malic acid and binoxa-
late of potash which it contains; the
acidity OF the lemon, orange and other
species Of the genus Citrus is caused by
the abundance of citric acid which
their juice contains; that of the
cherry, plum, apple and pear from the
malic acid in their pulp; that of goose
berries and currants, black, red and
white, from q mixture of malic and
citric acids; that of the grape from q
mixture of malic and tartaric acids;
that OF the mango from citric acid and
very fugitive essential oil; that Of
the tamarind from mixture of citric,
malic and tartaric acids; the flavor Of
the asparagus from aspartic acid, found
also in the root of the marshmallow, and
that of the cucumber from a peculiar
poisonous ingredient called fungin,
which is found in all fungi and is the
cause OF the cucumber being offensive
to some stomachs.
1t will be observed that rhubarb is
the only fruit which contains binoxa-
late of potash in conjunction with an
acid. Beet root owes its nutritious
quality to about nine per cent of sugar
which it contains, and its flavor is a
peculiar substance containing nitrogen
mixed with poetic acid.
The carrot owes its fattening powers
also to sugar, and its flavor to pecul-
lar fatty oil; the horseradish derives
its flavor and blistering power from
volatile acrid oil. The Jerusalem arti-
