THE ECLIPSE.

Monday morning nearly ell the
people Of the town were out look
ing at the eclipse, but they were
all disappointed in not being in
total darkness as was predicted
The eclipse was not total here
though just q little of the sun wss
visible.
On July 18th 1878 at 4 O'Clock
ia the evening there was . total
eclipse of the sun, and it was &C
dark that it was necessary to ligh'
the lamps in the stores and hou
ses, but this eclipse of Monday
simply looked like a cloudy day.

A COTTON FACTORY.

The people of st. Martinville,
like those of other towns in Lou
isisns, have been talking industry,
for quite q while, and q cotton fac
tory is what they have in their
mind, and this industry would be
preferable for several reasons, un-
like sugar refinery, a cotton mill
would be in operation at least ten
months in the year, and would
employ over one hundred persons
during these ten months, and in q
cotton mill there is work that can
be performed by all classes of peo-
pie, from the young girl to the
strong man, and from common to
expert labor.
Such an industry would be of
the greatest good to any town,
and, under the plan of the Bull
ding and Loan association, it is
possible for any town of any con-
sequence to raise the funds to put
up their own mill.
New Iberia has just organized a
company to put mp one hundred
thousand dollar cotton mill, and
the stock is being readily taken
by the people of that town, and in
the course of a year we can rea-
sonably expect their building to
be erected.
Some of our citizens have the
cotton mill on the brain too and
are talking seriously of organizing.
II they do, We see no serious rea-
son why they should not succeed.
The plan is the stock holder pays
80 cents per week for every share
he takes, or two dollars per month |
on each share, which would make |
the full amount paid in four years.
In this way, if the full amount of
stock was subscribed, S25, 90 would |
be realized the first year, when
the building would be erected, the
second year the machinery could
DO put in and operation commen-
cod. y

A MEASURE IN THE Suns
ECLIPSE.

Daily Item.
The advance in tho knowledge
of Gods wonderous laws which
his poor creatures on earth have
achieved in their slow but sure
steps upward to the light-crowned
heights, can be measured in the
conduct of men at the prediction
and the sight of the eclipse. pro-
missed by astronomical calculation
for tomorrow.
There was q time when even the
foretelling of the periodical sha-
dows upon the sun, drove the
esrth's inhabitants, or such of
them who had knowledge of the
fortelling to the frenzy of dispair.
The peasant of Europe, the wan
dering Arab of the Desert of Ara
bis, the Gslilean by his lonely
sea. the Muscovite on the steppes
Of Asia and the ssvsges Of the
Worlds wilds sugered in their
untutored minds, that an eclipse
was Q material evidence of His
wrath over the sins of His fallen
sons, and the intelligent of the
dark-dsys of intelligence, to whom
effect had no cause, the simplest
laws of nature were mysteries
which it was unholy TO fathom
| and that the Devine Will was a.
cspricious as their own, were as
their feeble fellows in the belief of
an evidence of Gods anger in this
now solved law of the Universe.
If nature is not disturbed, that
is to cay if there is . cloudless
sky, we, of New Orleans, will wit
ness . total eclipse of the sun,

OF the moons disc until its final

The Decline In Cotton.
Daily Picayune.

After an advance which practi-
cally doubled the value of a bale
of cotton, the price of the Aeecy
staple has recently declined sharp
ly, losing about 3-4c per pound
within couple of weeks. as far as
actual cotton is concerned, and
even more contract cotton. While
the decline has been primarily
based on the more favorable wes-
Their which has recently prevailed,
reviving hopes of q large crop, it
has also been Influenced TO q con-
derable extent by the failure of q
big cotton brokerage firm in New
York, believed to have been iden-
tilted with efforts to create an Au-
gust squeeze.
While the decline has been &C.
celebrated by the failure referred to.
it has been mainly due to q nstu-
raj response to more favorable
crop prospects. 1t is always the
disposition of modern trade to dis
count all prospects, whether fevo-
rable or not; hence the promise of
better crop results naturally eau
sed a recession in values, not be-
cause of any immediate outlook
for larger supplies, but because of
the prospective better offerings
for next season.
While cotton has declined, and
tit may possible decline further, it
is not considered probable that
any material further decline will
take place. While the crop may
turn out better than it promised
some weeks ago, it is unlikely that
the bad weather of the spring and
early part of the growing season
will be altogether without unfsvo-
rable results. The crop will Ger.
tainly not be an early one, and
late crops are not commonly bum
per crops.
Another thing to bear in mind
is the fact that it will take q large
crop to make good the deficit in
che worlds supplies of raw cotton,
caused by the last short crop.
Stocks are everywhere light, and
the season promises to close with
the lightest visible stock for years
past. The statistical position is
unoommonly strong. and there is
no prospect for any change in that
respect for some months after the
new crop begins to come to mar
ket There is, therefore, no out
look for a materially lower range
of values for many months to
come, although fluctuations may
occur and quotations be marked
down somewhat below the present
level. A full season. of big yield
must elapse before cotton again
drops to the prices current some-
thing more than year ago.
1t is true that the trade in man.
ufacturett cotton goods is not as
brisk as it was some time back;
but it is believed that the lull is
but momentary, and that trade
will again become active with the
opening of the fall demand for dry
goods. AT any rate. there is every
likelihood that cotton will sell at
profitable prices next season, even
if the extreme figure of the season
now closing be not reached. Sou
thern farmers have learned to pro-
duce cotton economically, and &c |
cotton is too recent a memory tol
have permitted them to become
extravagant on the strength of the
prosperous season.
