lNMAN'S VIEWS ON COTTON.

Sticks to His Early Estimate Of the Crop
Safe to Buv at Present Prices.
Referring to the recent activity and
strong advance in cotton, MIR. John Il.
Inman Of New York has eXpI esseu his
views as follows: On October 10Th,
just five months ago, March cotton
sold in this market ut $50. From chat
time there has been practically a. con-
tinuOus decline until March 5th, whom
contracts sold at 7.20, q decline Of 24c.
My estimate of the crop is tho same
today as it WAS five months ago, when
cotton sold at 9.50-that is, 6,OO0,0UO
bales. The above decline brought our
market much below European parity
and led to largo purchases OF con-
tracts in New York against sales to
Europe.
My experience is, that after q steady
decline OF SO long q time an upward
movement is inevitable, movement
which will most likely recover half OF
the 2tc. decline, and therefore carry US
back to S4GGS4c. before the COTTON
season is ovor. With the rapidly de-
| clining stocks, and tho fact tnat it is
| Eyo and u half months before new
| cotton, it occurs to me that the persiS-
| tent sellers short Of August may got
into very uncomfortable position
before the season is over. Unless
prices advance mt t,rially do not see
how New York can avoid having q
very small stock by August lst, say
not Ovor $4,000 balcs. Trade in Amer
ica is very bad, perhaps worse than
at any time for thirty years, but
aginst this, trade in Europe is good
and Liverpool aud tho continent will
take q large amount Of cotton at the
| cheapest price they can get it, but
will, III my Judgment pay S4CVS4c., if
followed south is short OF the crop,
and therefore to my mind tho ex-
! tensive preparations and increased
acreage and prospects Of the new crop
are greatly exaggerated. Ateny ratio,
it ls the season that makes the crop
and not the acreage.
THE COTTON MOVEMENT.
a report OF the Department Of Agri-
culture, Jusb published, shows that
between Sept. l, 1895, and FEB. |, 1896
the actual movement OF cotton to ports,
nOrthern and western mills and all
other destination amounted to 5, 235, =
~ bales. During this period the Dur
chases OF southern mills amounted to
609, 1856 bales and there remained on
plantations, in warehouses and at
other points not included in the above
enumeration an aggregate OF S7,74S
bales. This, Of course, does not in
ciude stocks at ports, as they are in
cluded in the previous figures.
The aggregate OF this movement,
southern mill purchases and balance
on plantation is 6,S33, 236 bales. From
this must be deducted IA, 700 bales
included in tho railway movement

WILSON HOLDS HIS OWN.

Fire-Eatino Boutelo is Handled Success
tuIly by tho Representative Of the Fourth
District.
In the recent debate in Congress
upon the resolution to repeal the last
restriction on those who
served in the Confederate army, Mr..
Boutcllc, Of Maine, alone opposed the
proposition. In his remarks he stated
that Union soldiers were Disseminated
against in South Carolina in the mat
ter OF taxation, which brought into
the skirmish Hon. Stanyarne Wilson.
Here is what the News and COurier's
special correspondent says Of the way
Mr.. Wilson acquitted himself:
"At that juncturc Representative
Stanyarnc Wilson, OF South Carolina,
who WAS Il member of the constitu-
honal convention, interrupted the
lirc.cating' Boutellc to say that the
people OF the South believed the war
to be over, and he did not care to fight
that bloody war over again with the
gentleman from Maine. He explained
that the people OF South Carolina felt
| that they had right to pension the
men who fOughC for that State during
the war, and it also had a right to
exempt the same class Of men from the
payment OF Il poll tax. In doing 80
they were simply providing for their
own people. and at the same time they
were contributing without murmur
to the general pension fund for the ex-
Union soldiers.

Pretenders to European Thrones.

Among the many pretenders who congratulated the new emperor of Russia on his ascending the throne were the ex-king of Naples. who lays claim to the throne of Italy; the duke of Parma, now a grandfather, and who was deprived of his sovereignty at the early age of five; the former grand duke of Tuscany, the duke of Cumber- land, who claims the sovereignty of the duchy of Brunswick; the various princes Karageorgevicz, each of whom claims to be the de jure king of Servia, Prince Couza, who has pretensions to the crown of Roumania; Don Miguel, of Braganza, the legitimist pretender to throne of Portugal; Prince Victor Ma poleon, the duke of Orleans, the soi- disant duke of Normandy, and Gen. Francis de Bourbon, self-styled duke of Anjou, each signing himself as sovereign de jure of France, while from Spains pretenders there were missives from Don Carlos, his son Don Jaime, and last, butnot least, the duke of Medina Coeli.

HAPPY JACK, 1si- COWBOY.
A Cattle Puncl.er Who Carried No Re-
 yolyer in His Work on the Plains.

volver in His Work on the Plains.
 Happy Jack, the Colorado cowboy, was Kentuckian by birth, !" said the amateur ranch man. 'Kentucky's sons in the far west are typicaiiy very tall men, good tempcred, and Of indOirit- able courage, and Happy Jack was nc exception. Many were the stories told about the ranches of his great strength. devil-may ay-care'courage and quaint sas. ings. He was of great height anc breadth of shoulder, thin. sinewy anu active, with pluck equal to every e1ner gency and that cheerful tnnpcramen' which found occasion for rlirthfulness in every situation Of life and had givel him his bcatiic name among his Iel lows. 1 first met him at the Horse Creek ranch, where one night late in autumn he stopped with his fellows They had come up from the south witb herd of beef cattle which were put into one of the corrals over night while their cavalcade was turned out into the horse pasture.
 Happy Jack was up next morning earliest of all, and, while the rest o1 the boys were going to breakfast, he had saddled his gray horse, a vicious creature, as 'spready' and as active as his master. and having led it to the front Of the ranch house was about tC mount. The morning was cold and frosty, and Jack wore over his regula- tion cowboy equipment an old army overcoat.
 "'Think he'll buck this morning, JacS?' said one of the cowboys from the veranda.
 "'Well, Jack drawled, I reckon he'll do about as he's mind to, and he's generally got mind to buck
 ''He settled into the saddle, the horse went up into the air, and for the first hundred yards his progress was a zig gag pitching fore and aft like a wherry among the breakers. He used every broncho trick to throw off his rider, who, with the cape of the old soldiers overcoat Tapping up to meet the brim of the broad sombrero, showed an abso- lute unconcern as to what performance the horse might take into his head to try. The horse at last discovered that buclzing was useless and wearisome, and Happy Jack was soon down in the pasture rounding up the horses He had got them together and driven +hem back to the -i''7i0~ before the other boys n,.u t,. ..v., tllelr break fast That was the kind of a worker Happy Jack was.
 Everything that Happy Jack did o1 said was done laughingly. He carried no revolver, but as he adjusted his saddle equipments before starting i away from the ranch I saw that among the things carefully slowed away in his cantinas or saddle bags, was a long knife with a shining blade foot long, and what that hints at when seen in a Kentuckian's outfit everybody knows. Happy Jack was philosopher who was prepared equally for peace or for | trouble"

Looking Under the Bed.

People tell me-" said MT. Glimby, ''that folks don't look under the bed for burglars as much as they used to. haven't seen anybody yet that can ac- count satisfactorily for this. One per son says that the burglars don't hide under beds so much as they did, but that seems pretty vague sort of state ment. It brings to my mind, however, the idea that perhaps burglars never really made a practice to rny extent of hiding under beds, and that having now in an indefinite sort oi way discov- cred that fact, we are ceasing to look for them there. However that may be, I believe the general statement to be true that we don't look under the bed for burglars so much as we did"

THE HABIT Or NAIL-BlTING.
It Is a Mark of Degeneration of the Nerv
 System.

It Is Q Mark of Degeneration of the Nerv-
 ous System.
 There has just been issued from the Paris press brochure which is creating a large amount of interest in French medical circles, both on account of it's originality and the experimental re- suits which it embodies. It is from the pen of Dr. Edgar Berillon, so well known in the surgical world by reason of his prominent connection with the dead Charcot in the latters hypnotic experiments, and at present Secretarie General de la Societe d'Hypnologie ct de Psychologist of Paris and medical in spector of the state lunatic asylums. The work is scientific treatise on ony- cophagie, or fngernai1 biting, and con- tains the results of series of observa- tions in the public and private schools of France, and extending through a period of more than seven years. At the congress of the Frencii Association for the Advancement of z fences, held at Nancy in 1886, Berilion first an nounced his observations on the habit of nail-biting, and since that time has been in almost continuous experiment.
 in his thoroughly scientific treatment of what the world has never before con- sidered worthy of prolonged or special study Berillon has arrived at results really remarkable. His experiments lead him to pronounce the habit far more widespread and pernicious than others promptly treated, and force him to conclude that, if not disease itself, it is an unfailing mark of incipient de- generation of the nervous system, which, unrecognized, may be productive of the most evil results.

Hard to Get Rid Of.

John G. Whittier was greatly loved by strangers, who not only called on him, but thriftily insisted on putting up with him all night. 'Thee has no idea," said his sister, "how much time Greenleaf spends trying to lose these people in the streets. Sometimes he comes home and says: Well, sister, I had hard work to lose him, but have lost him. But I can never lose a her. The women are more pertinacious than the men; don't thee find them SO, Maria?"

TeIegraphing with a Steam Whistle.

While Edison, then boy, was living in Port Huron, he found one of those opportunities to distinguish himself that seem to be always falling in the way of some men. The anecdote is re- lated in ''The Life and Inventions of Edison," recently published. It was near the end of an exceptionally severe winter, and the ice had formed in such masses as to sever the cable between Port Huron and the Canadian city of Sarnia. The river, mile and half wide, was impossible, and multitudes of people were greatly inconvenieneed.
 Edison, who had just learned to tel egraph, saw way out of the difficulty.
 Jumping upon railway engine, he be- gan to whistle in the rhythmic cadences of the Morse alphabet: "Hullo, Sarnla! Sarnia, do you get what I say?" No an- swer. Again and again the short and
 the long toots shaped themselves into the dots and dashes of telegraphy, and

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence lof electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when
 business crowds you out the rents will sup
 port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into
 town and collect your rents. Terms, cash , in one year, } in two years at 10 per cent interest.
