nate the probability of any considerable
short interest being created in the sum
mer months, and prices for them will
probably closely reflect the shifting as
pect OF the daily spot market. The short
interest in the late months, however, is
very large, and the first note of alarm
about the growing crop would we think
undoubtedly. be the signal for a rapid
raise in the price of cotton. At the mo-
ment all the southern advices indicate
the prevalence of satisfactory conditions.
Until there is some positive sign of a re-
fusal of consumers to continue taking ac-
tual cotton, we have no cause to modify
our expectations of seeing higher prices. -

After a moments hesitation Full
ton replied, "Six dollars" And
when that amount was laid in his
hand he gazcd at it long time and
two big tears rolled down his cheeks.
Turning to the passenger he said;
Excuse me, sir, but this is the
first pecuniary reward | have re-

ing steam to navigation. | would
gladly commemorate the occasion
with little dinner, but am too
poor now even for that. If we meet

AS history relates, the voyage
terminated successfully. Four years
later Fulton was sitting in the cabin
of the Clermont, then called the
North River, when a gentleman
entered. Fulton glanced at him and
then sprang up and gladly shook his
hand. 1t was his first passenger,
and over a pleasant little dinner
Fulton entertained his guest with
the history of his success, and ended
with saying that the first actual
recognition of his usefulness to his
fellowmen was the Sc paid to him

The Cause of Old r1aids.

The professor of natural science at
one of the Scotch universities was
discussing the process of fertilzing
plants by means Of insects carrying
pollen from one plant to another,
and told them, after Darwin, that
the old maids were the cause of it
all. The bumblebees carry the pollen,
the field mice eat the bumblebees.
Therefore the more field mice the
fewer bumblebees, and the less pollen
and variation of plants. But cats
devour field mice and old maids pro.
tect cats. Therefore the more old
maids the more cats, the fewer field
mice the more bees. Hence old maids
are the cause of it all.
Thereupon an inquiring student,
with a single eyeglass, his trousers
rolled up at the bottom, arose and
asked:
II say, protessah, what is the
cause-ah- OF old maids, don't you
know ?"
1.-The present breed of young men, ="
replied the professor sharply and
without moments hesitation.
There was silence in the room
for the space of 80 seconds, after
which the lecture was resumed
