A special dispatch to the New York
Sun from New Orleans says: An at
tempt will be made TO induce the leg
islature of Mississippi to cut off a slice
of De Soto county and annex 1t to

real reason is found i'm the suffrage

Spanish war.
Tunica is a black county of the YaZoo

many negroes and few whites. AL
though possessing a population Of
16.000, II has only 500 white voters, n
these seldom cast more than 100 or $50
votes, and even less IL the election Is
not exciting. When the Spanish war
began the planters sons all showed a
great desire to enlist. and it is said that

behind only 120 whites for jury duty.

Lookin at the practice of bag-puncn-

womanlike point of view, the exercise
Is indisputably excellent. For the or

necessarily too hard; accordingly, wo-
men use boxing gloves of the horsehair

up the chest. The exercise is recon-

ductive industries of the country and its
speculation. Never has production been
greater, the number Of hands employed
larger, the wages distributed higher, or
the purchasing power, based upon earn
ings, greater than at this time, and new
er have conditions of trade or returns OF
earnings and traffic given certainty OF
greater business for transporters. Yet
as the earnings Of the railway and man
ufacturing companies mount upward
their stocks decline as if it were disas-
trous for a road to double its earnings
and ruinous for mill to realize unpre-
cedented profits. Inflated capitalization
has of course done much harm and spec
ulative excitement has counted profits in
many cases long before they were earned.
Money markets here and abroad have

South Africa. In spite of an advance Of
2.1 cents in prices cotton exports in NO
vember decreased. $13,020,926 in value,
amounting to only 710,351 bales, against
1,4S3, 126 last year. Wool did not ad-
vance further, though sales scarcely di-
minish and have been 22,O75,OOO pounds
in two weeks at the three chief markets.
Failures for the week were 21S in the
United States, against 261 last year, and
26 in Canada, against 81 last year."
