COTTON-A REVIEW OF THE
YEARS MARKET.

The past year was, In certain respects
a remarkable one. Several new records
have been established all of which viii
it is to be hoped, remain records for some
years to come.
The first new record is the extent of the
crop Never before had the total reached
eight figures, yet last year at a bound
the yield passed the high figure of 11,0CO.-
eco bales. There are many in the trade
even yet who are unable to understand
why, when and how, so much cotton was
made.
record of prices. No other crop has aver
aged so low, and the quotations ruling
at the end of the old year and the open
ing Of the new, are much the lowest for the
season of the year since the civil war
This second record, however, is only a
natural consequence of the former
A third record is the effect upon the
market from the country's engaging in a
foreign war The war with Spain has
been entered into and finished with only
a few slight ripples at the commencement
and no visible effect al ALL so far, az the
finish No doubt there would have been
more effect had The opposing power been
"a more equal match. but even as il was,
surely no one would have expected that
a war with Spain would have caused
merely a little temporary furry in fu-
lures.
Upon the whole, the years general re-
suits in the cotton market can hardly
be regarded as very satisfactory; only
for a brief period at the opening of the
season were anything like fair prices paid
for the staple. Yet, when the enormous
crop and the various other adverse cir
cumstauces are taken into account L
must be admitted thSt matters could have
been much worse than they actually were
AS far as savannah is concerned. there
is no cause for dissatisfaction; this port
has well held its own. The proportion of
the total crop received here, very nearly
100000 bales is very nearly Il per cent
Last year the proportion of the whole
crop received in Savannah was less than
10 per cent.
The following sketch will give a succinct
history Of the market and the course Of
prices in Savannah and in the controlling
markets.

"ren's Vindicafi0n

When Sir Christopher Wren was
building the town hall of Windsor, a
fidgety member of the corporation-so
the story goes-insiste that the roof
required further support, and desired
the architect to add more pillars. In
vain did Sir Christopher assure him
that the danger was imaginary-he
knew better. The alarm spread, and
the great architect was worried into
adding the desired columns. Years
passed, and in later times. when archi-
tect and patron were dead, cleaning
operations in the roof revealed the fact
that the supposed additional supports
did not touch the roof by two inches,
though this was not perceptible to any
one below. By this ingenious expedient

HIS FRENCH MAID.
Albert Gets Her Into q Serious Row
with the HOusegirl.

Albert Gets Hcr Into q serious ROW
with the Housegirl.
A youngster who is the only son of in
dulgent parents living in Avondale has
a French maid, whose business it is to
talk to him in French at all times. In
fact, she has to, as her knowledge is linn
tied when it comes to speaking English
The boy, though only seven, is as full
of mischief as a young calf and he
knows enough to know that he can fool
the maid In more ways than one. He is
something of a practical joker, too.
At lunchtime one day the maid was
up a stump in regard to asking for salt.
She needed it in her soup, and to the
housegirl she couldn't make her wants
known. Turning to Albert, she said:
lie sci, Albair, lie sell"
Turning to the housemaid Albert
said in English: "Oh, the old parley
VOC wants some sugar. Give it to her"
ShS got the sugar in one OF the silver
boxes Or dredges used for that condi-
ment and dredged her soup in the ap-
proved French way and with decided
disregard for the quantity she was
using. Then when she tasted the
mawky mess she broke out in a French
TRADE and wanted to whip the house
girl. That is, it sounded like that, with
her "Sacres" and Mon Dieus."
"Oh, but she's cussing you," said AL
bert to the housegirl. I'D tell mamma.
I wouldn't let any old foreigner talk
that way to me-"

"Oh, dam and other cuss words that

Then the housegirl got back good
and strong and told her she'd slap her

LIFE PATHS.

lt'1 wonderful world we're In, my dear,
A wonderful world, they say, -
And blest they be who may wander free
Wherever a wish might stray,
Who spread their sails to the arctic gales,
Or bask In the tropics bowers,
While we must keep to the footpath steep
In this workaday life Of ours.
For smooth is the road for the few, my dear,
And wide are the ways they roam:
Our feet are led where the million tread,
In the worn old lanes Of home.
And the years may flow for veal or woe,
And the frost may follow the flowers,
Our steps are bound to the selfsame rouno
In this workaday life of ours.
But narrow our path may be, my dear,
And simple the scenes we view,
A heart like thine and a love like mine
Will carry us bravely through.
With a happy song We'll trudge along.
And smile in the shine or showers,
And We'll ease the pack on a brothers back
BY this workaday life Of ours

to the beach, where the two gigs await

drunken folly of the pirates, one in q

be carried along with us, for the sake of
safety; and so, with our numbers di-
vided between them, we set forth upon
the bosom of the anchorage.
AS we pulled over there was some
discussion on the chart. The red cross
was, of course, far too large to be a
guide; and the terms of the note on the
back, as you will hear, admitted of
some ambiguity. They ran. the reader
may remember, thus:

''Ten feet"
A tall tree was thus the principal
mark. Now, right before us, the an
chorage was bounded by a plateau from
two to three hundred feet high, adjoin-
ing on the north the sloping southern
shoulder of the Spy-glass, and rising
again toward the south into the rough,
cliffy eminence called the Mizzen-mast
Hill. The top of the plateau was dotted
thickly with pine trees of varying
height. Every here and there, one of a
different species rose forty or fifty feet
clear above it's neighbors, and which of
these was the particular tall tree'' of
Capt. Flint could only be decided on the
spot, and by readings of the compass.
Yet, although that was the case,
every man on board the boats had
picked a favorite' of his own ere we
were halfway over, Long John alone
struggling his shoulders and bidding
them wait till they were there.
We pulled easily by Silver's direc-
tions, not to weary the hands prema-
turely; and, after quite long passage,
landed at the mouth of the second
river-that which runs down a woody
cleft of the Spy-glass. Thence, bend
ing to our left, we began to ascend the
slope toward the plateau
At the first outset, heavy, miry
ground and a matted, marsh vegeta-
tion greatly delayed our progress;
but by little and little the hill began to
steepen and become stony undarfoot,
and the wood to change it's character
and to grow in more open order. It
was, indeed, a most pleasant portion of
the island that we were now approach

Towering shrubs had almost taken the
place of grass. Thickets of green nut

with the red columns and the broad
shadow of the pines; and the first min

others. The air, besides, was fresh and

beams, was a wonderful refreshment

that for bones to lie? 'Tain't in

Indeed, on second glance, it seemed
impossible to fancy that the body was
