The spanfsh BaNonet.

Briarus-like, its thousand arms,
Keep ever watch and ward;
Its spear points as the needle swings,
And ever on their guard;
No bird nests in its treach'rous arms,
No odors from it rise.
A curse wherever it finds root,
A pest meath sunny skies.
Old Spain we'll named this war-like shrub
Its cruel spikes her own,
The dragons teeth where's r she's trod,
With lavish hands she's sown.
Upspringing from that blood-stained isle
The tropics peerless bride,
Her cruel bayonets she thrusts,
Heart-deep in freedoms side.
Who sows the dragons teeth shall reap
With torn and bleeding hands,
Who Freedom wrongs, the gods avenge,
When she bursts gives and bands.
And isle, the fairest meath the sun,
Shall win her freedom yet,
And from her soil in trump tear,

Rnfus Hatch,s Gift.

Uncle Rufus Hatch was noted for the
vigor of his language, and his apparent I'M
concern for things touching the immor-
tally of the soul, says the New York
Press. He was of the world, worldly.
One day it got abroad in the street that he
had given 1000 to a church, and the thou
sand and one friends of the cid man were
delighted that he had at last seen the
error of his ways. At last he blurted out

repented of my sins. The church owed

directed Her Letter to Heaven.

At a recent wedding, says the Washing
ton Star, the bride had retired to her
dressing room to don her travelling gown.
Her mother had been dead a year or
more. and she had had the constant care
and companionship- of her little sister
ever since their affection. The seven
year-old entered the room and went to
her sisters chair very thoughtfully.
Drawing letter from the little pocket,
she said:
''AHce. here is a letter to mamma. l
have just written, telling her all about
the wedding. viii you send II TO herr"
The elder sister, a little checked, replied
as gently as possible that she couldn't
send letter to mother.
Then the little. one. looking quite bright,
said promptly:
T"Oh, yes, you can, because now you
are married, you will be getting a little
girl and when you send for her just
give the doctor this letter, and he can
take it to mamma when he goes for the
baby"
And there on the envelope was the ad-
dress, printed as best she could:
ITO Mamma,
In Heaven.
Kindness of the Doctor"
She took the letter, and Rugged the lit
tie one to hide the tear which was rubbed
off on the curly, brown head.

We published a day or two ago state
ment from the Financial Chronicle which
showed that if the cotton farmers kept
the cotton acreage within reasonable lin
its this year they would stand a good
chance of getting 10 cents pound for the
next cotton crop. The American Cotton
Growers Protective Association has Is
sued circular in which substantially the
same position is taken. The association
has called a meeting at Memphis, Tenn,
for Jan. p, to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY OF
adopting systematic means for restricting
the acreage of cotton for this year. The
Memphis Cotton Exchange will make all
the arrangements for the meeting and ef-
forts will be made to secure a reduced
railroad fare for those who intend to be
present.
1t seems to us that it is in the power of
the meeting to do a great deal of good in
the direction of the object to be attained.
All intelligent cotton planters now know
that silver has nothing whatever to do
with the price of cotton-that the price is
regulated by the demand and supply. No
uOunL lneTt are ueuldSubutS WHO Will sun
try to make the cotton farmers believe
that if the coinage of silver was made free
they would get rich quickly by cultivat-
ing cotton. At one time those who adj
vanced that view had a good deal of in,
fluehce with the cotton growers, but that
time has passed. The past season has
demonstrated so clearly that when there
is more cotton than the world really wants
the price of it is pretty certain TO be low,
and that when the crop is small the price
is high, thus making it clear that the
price of cotton is influenced by the size
of the cotton crop and not by silver.
The Memphis meeting should be well
attended, and it should adopt such meas
ures as will influence cotton farmers to
keep down the cotton acreage.

In his wonderful lecture on The Last
Days of the Confederacy," Gen. John B.
Gordon tells very thrilling story about
federal officer who was desperately
wounded in the battle of Gettysbilrg and
of how he gave the apparently dying man
q drink of water from his canteen and
comforted him as one brave man could
comfort another in the presence of death
1t is a wonderful story The federal of
ficer was Gen Francis c. Barlow of New
York, who lived for many years to serve
his country faithfully in civil life as he
had served it in the field, and who died
last week full of honors. We are sure
that all who have hung upon Gordon s
words will regret his death.

The Cheap Frcighters.

The return to this port in distress of the
Norwegian bark Normanvik, a day or two
ago. calls to mind the number of vessels
of that nationality which have met with
disaster in recent years. About all the
cheap ocean freighters are vessels that
sail under the Norwegian flag. Their only
rivals are vessels that sail under the
italian flag AS a rule, they are old yes

ocean and the Mediterranean sea.
Within the last few years the Norwe-
gians have almost monopolized the car
rying across the Atlantic of products
which will only stand a low rate of
freight, such as naval stores from the
ports of the southern states.
The hardy Scandanavians who now
command and man these ships are, like
their ancestors. the Mortimer, splendid
seamen and brave men.
BY good seamanship the fidelity of their
crews and because of the small cost of
their vessels, the Norwegians are able to
earn fair profits from low freight rates.
With the disappearance of these ships
from the ocean, which must necessarily
soon be the case, as there are no vessels
with which to replace them, the entire
carrying trade will pass to the control
of steam vessels. The Norwegians.

The Jugglcr, by Charles Egbert

ished in the Atlantic Monthly as a

power of vivid description that dis

in this novel she also unfolds a

has deep significance, for it is a
story, not only of life among the
mountaineers, but of conventional
life in the West and South-Of the
civilization of the present as ii
comes in dramatic contact with
primitive life in the mountains.
