Events Of the Comiug Year.

The coming year will be a period
memorable 10 the history Of the world.
II bat a part Of the plans of the
United States government and
European nations is carried out. In
the United States there will be the
livliest presidential campaign ever
held, and the Fifty-fourth congress,
now In session, will furnish exceed
ingly interesting debates on the tariff
and financial questions until June.
There will be several exciting state
elections and many great political
speeches. Everyone will watch with
interest the progress Of the venezue-
Ian Commissions inquiry, the results
OF the wars In Cuba, In South Africa.
in Turkey, and the outcome of other
complications now arising in the Old
World.

at the beginning Of a year of such

Within my door, good Dame To-day
Spins by the hearthstone bright,
And keeps me at my task always,
Till taps my neighbor Night;
Then brushes she the hearth, betimes,
And bids the wheel be still,
And, with her gossip Duty, climbs
The path up yonder hill.
While neighbor Night and l, alone,
Beside the hearth's low flame,
Sit hearkening the winds wild moan,
But speak no word nor name;
For neighbor Night, right young is he,
Aud | have heard it said
That, happy, he will some time be
With gay Tomorrow wed.
And am old. Each hour track
The step of Waterman Time;
So soon will Dame to day come back,
Then farewell dream and rhyme
But now, with neighbor Night, space
Is mine, he'll not gainsay,
To brood awhile upon face
My lost love, Yesterday.

Mrs. Grant, widow of the great
general, who sold her home in New
York, last fall and bought ex. Sena-
tor Edmunds' Washington home, gave
a housewarming on Thursday after
noon, at which were several hundred
of her friends, mostly the military
and official set, and some old resi-
dents who were prominent when
General Grant was president. Mrs
Grant has decided to make the CAPT
tai her permanent home. 1t is
said she will devote most of her time,
this winter, to finish volume of rem
iniscence, on which she has been en-
gagged for tome time. It is really a
journal of her life with the army dur
ing the war. She was at headquarters
with her husband through most of
his campaigns, from Fort Donelsor
to AppomattOx. and kept a volu-
minous diary through most of that
exciting period. Approaching the
interest felt by the public in all that
concerns General Grant and herself,
she has consented to prepare these
rough notes for publication.

$500 Interest on $500.

An old lady went into a Rutland
savings bank Monday and presented
a book that she had taken out over
20 years ago. She said that she
had deposited $500 in the bank at
that time and been told by friends in
New York state, where she lived, that
the account had outlawd. A clerk ex-
amined the book and found that the
last entry had been made in 1878.
He figured up the interest, which
amounted to a little over $1,000,
and handed it to the depOsitor, to.
gether with the $500. The old lady
was overjoyed and concluded that
she would leave the money. She re-
fused a new book, saying that the
old one was good enough for her.
The woman had not been in Vermont
since the last deposit was made.

THE COTTON PROBLEM.  A LESSON OF WISDOM FOR EVERY
 COTTON GROWER. Stock Raising. HortIcuIture Fruit Crow ing, Grain Growing and the Gull
 ture of Other Products
 Recommended.
St. Louis Republie1


 For every cotton grower in the South the advice of the Memphis convent tion the other day contains 8 lesson of wisdom.
 The experience of 1891 and 1892 has demonstrated that there is a limit to the worlds demand for cot ton, vastly narrower than the capac- ity of Southern fields to produce that staple. Over production must result in inevitable loss to the grower,
 A new factor that enters into the problem is the great and rapid in crease in the population of the cot ton belt, through the migration thither of farmers from the North and West. If the newcomers as well as the older agricultural popu- lation, plant all the cotton they can, it will be difficult to get it all picked and impossible to sell it for what it has cost.
 In an address to the farmers of Texas, A. J. Rose, Commissioner of Agriculture, cites that the reduced acreage and short yield of 1895 re- suited in prices to the farmers of Z to 3 cents pound more for their cotton than was expected when the crop was planted. He warns them that if the acreage is generally in creased this year the price of cotton will be less than cents a pound.
 Mr. Rose is a native Missourian who has gained wisdom and honor in the State of his adoption. There is not a farmer ia the cotton belt but will be better off at the end of the year for acting on the following counsel which he gives to the far mers of Texas:
 .sThe wise course for farmers to pursue is to plant a sufficientcrop ol corn and all other kinds of crops needed for home consumption and enough for their nonproduclng neighbors, and after that to devote their attention to cotton, if they prefer growing cotton for market, or to the raising of pork and mutton.

been that those who produce the neeessaries of life at home and have some to spare are those who never have to give mortgage 'Tis true, corn is cheap-and why? Because farmers have not beeves and hogs to feed it to- If they had, instead of b to 25 cents per bushel, they could get from 35 to 50 cents for their corn.
 Farmers should improve their stock. They should keep the very best and avoid the expense of any that do not yield profit. To Illus trate: With Texas growing 2,00,0 900 bales of cotton and other States re- ducing their producing capacity at the same ratio, cotton would reach cents or more. Planting the re- mainder of their land either in corn, oats, wheat or other crops and rais- ing stock to consume all the surplus then would the cry cease that farm ing does not pay. It is safe to say that those who adopt this course viii succeed far better than those who do not do so, and it is further safe to say that if farmers plant as largely in cotton the present year as l
 they did in 1894 and as sparingly in other crops, they will regret it"
 For many years the tendency of Southern agriculture has been in the direction recommended by Commis- sioner Rose. Following the strait ened circumstances into which the farmers were brought by the over production of cotton in 1890 and 1891 there was a greater diversified tion of crops than was ever known before in the South.
 That stock raising, horticulture, fruit growing, grain growing and the culture of score of other prod ucts for which the soil and climate of the South are we'll suited will receive increasing attention is as certain as anything can be. The Southern far mer of today who gets his full share of the affiuence that waits upon Southern agriculture must at once begin to look to other crops than cotton for his best profit.
 In 1860 wheat and tobacco were known in Virginia as the money crops" The Virginia planter who stood off the Sheriff made his own bread and meat. He made what he consumed and did not depend wholly on markets.
 Put cotton for wheat and tobacco and the farmers further south stand now just where the Virginians stood then.
