New York, Dec. Bottle dry goods

as ON previous days of this week in
both staple and fancy lines. The tone

New York Dec 30.-Cables accounts
We're unsatisfactory this morning and
our market opened with prices unchanged
to points loer; following the first
call there was 4 further decline of 2a3
points indicating Il liberal movement of
cotton next week and outside speculation
not cutting the figure relied upon by the
leaders of the bull contingent. Wall
Street operators continued to sustain

less than at any time since they began
to give attention to the staple. Their
subsiding interest was accounted for by
the holidays at hand. Trading gener-
ally possibly for the same reason was
within conservative lines and the scope
of fluctuations for the entire session
was only matter of 3 points, with the
market finally steady at a net loss of
204 points. There was very little dis
position to sell cotton, Notwithstanding
the fact that estimates pointed to large
receipts for tomorrow. Apart from the
latter feature influences were generally
of bullish character, increasing en-
couraging accounts as to the way the
year is winding up in dry goods and
cotton spinning centres in this country
and abroad Reports from Southern
spot markets were also OF a favorable
character.

successfully, and on Eastbourne Downs
often ran a three-mile course when the
ground was hard and frozen and snow was
lying in the hollows. With a strong wind
blowing across the trail it ran 100 yards
to leeward, at such q headiong pace that
1t more than once went head over heels
in snow drifts. Like almost all blood
hounds, this was gentle animal and teach
and of it's own accord struck up friend
ship with the police, whose fire at the of
fice' he frequently shared and was poison
ed, presumably by burglars. who had brok
en- into several houses in the neishborhood.
The gentleness of bloodhound disposition
is probably accounted for by their not
having been used to hunt and kill prey.
One of the most ancient anecdotes of these
dogs attributes the capture of a fugitive to
the use of his own bloodhound. The name
itself is probably modern one. based on
a vulgar error that the dogs only follow
| ed persons who We're 'red-handed'' from
homicide, who had about them the
smell of recently killed sheep. The an
Gent name was lyme dog or talbot which
latter appears to have been white va
riety of bloodhound. The Cuban blood
hounds" which were used for hunting
slaves by the Spaniards, and We're import
ed into Jamaica, were not bloodhounds at
all, but cross between the mastiff and
bulldog, or perhaps the "dogue" Of Bor-
deauX. They were brindled, prick-eared
and, doubtless, horribly savage. They were,
however, used as police" and. like the
bloodhounds on the border, were main
tanned in very parish in Jamaica, where
it was the duty of the church wardens
to keep them at the expense of the COM
munity. Soma of these dogs were kept
in London during the early days of the
geological gardens. The stories of their
ferocity are probably not exaggerated
though Lord Balcarres, who imported 200
of them into Jamaica to aid in subduing the
maroons, never used them He frightened
the negroes into submission by circulating
the stories current about the dogs.

figures are interesting

In one year the hens of the
country will pay the net bonded
debt of greater New York and
have enough left to buy all the
gold and silver mined during the
year-that is, if they could borrow
$40, 900, 900 from the ducks and
geese. One years earnings will
buy all the minerals produced in
a single year, and will pay, in ad-
ditlon, every cent Of the interest
on farm mortgages. The Ameri
can hired man, taken as an indl-
yidual, is a person of small conse-
quence. He is usually neither
dignifed nor desirable; yet the
3,454,675 farm laborers in the
country earned last year in cash,
board not included, 1862, TAO, ,665.
The fact is that the hens and the
hired men taken together, in two
years earnings, would buy all the
church property and have enough
left to pay all pensions and all our
public school teachers. The same
sum would pay operating expen-
Sos for all American railroads for
one year, and also pay the wages
of all the clothing makers, all the
the iron workers, all the cotton
mill hands, and all the carpenters
in the land. One bushel of wheat,
costing goo, will feed a hen for
300 days. If she lays 100 eggs
worth 90 each, she will increase
the value of the wheat to 81, which |
is enough to haul one ton OF
freight $50 miles or to haul one
passenger fifty miles, After she
has done all this, she will return
25c worth of the fertilizing value
of the wheat to the soil for another
crop.

says: There are in this country
today, in round numbers, 375, ,000,- :
900 chickens and 10000, 900 other
fowls, such as ducks, geese and
turkeys. During 1897, the hens
laid 14,40O, 100000 eggs. The
export price at New York city
avaraged 15c dozen, which makes
the value of the egg crop $780,
100000. Poultry sold as meat,
as broilers, boilers and bakers,
brought $685. 900, 900 more, max
ing the total hen crop, at a very
conservative rate, S290,O00, 900.
This great value of the hen crop
is scattered broadcast. We deal
with it chiefly from the individual
side, and it is astonishing to real
ize how much it is in the aggre-
gate. In order that these figures

discussion among the people of

up to Tuesday morning we had
never heard of it being praCticed

Southern family. 1t remained
for one of the leaders of society In

to take the initiative step in bridg-
ing the social chasm between the
two races in the South in Missis-
sippi, the most distinctively
Southern of all Southern States,
by offering the hospitality of her
home to an eloquent, ebon-hued
