A Valuable Teacher

Sister Aquina, of the Convent of Mercy, left
this morning for Greenville, via the Y. &. M.
V. Railroad. She goes to our neighbor city to
take charge of the Convent Academy there-a
position for which she is exceptionally fitted
by long experience as a teacher. Sister Aqui-
ma has been teacher in St. Francis xavier's
Academy at Vicksburg for many years, and
won the esteem of pupils and parents alike.
She was placed in charge of the Academy of
the Sisters of Mercy at Meridian last year, and
under her wise administration it was very sue
cessful. The people of Greenville, regardless
Of denomination, are to be congratulated upon
having with them, as director of large school
a Sister Of such undoubted talent and tact,
and one possessed of so many Christian virtues
and so much zeal, while at the same time toler-
ant and charitable in all things.-v icksburg
Evening Post.
The Times congratulates the Acade-
my on securing this valuable lady as a
part if its faculty. We wish for Sister
Aquina and the school that high meas
ure of success which they so richly de-
serve.

1t is going to be anything but cinch
for the buyers, thinks Mr.. Craig, as
between the planters with their pros
pective top prices, and the spinners
with their looms idle they will be in
an altogether bad predicament,
Mr.. Craig is of the opinion that with
spot cotton selling at the uniform rate
OF from nine to nine and one-half cents,
the entire cotton market would contin-
ne active.
But having felt the pulse of the spin
ners and taking in consideration the
fact that there is over million bales of
manufactured cotton in the warehouses,
still unmarketed, and three or four
months supply in Jobbers' hands, it
seems as If it would be to the spinners'
interests to remain idle, for which they
are prepared and would probably Jump
at the chance. If 10 cents pound or
over, is demanded, it would simply
mean a notice to spinners to quit work.
AS to the prospects of the crop in the
delta, Mr.. Craig states that it is ex-
tremely difficult to form an estimate.
SO conflicting and contradictory are the
reports.
THE EASTERN MILLS AND HIGH
PRICES.
Continuing his conversation, Mr..
Craig informed the reporter that Just
before coming South he had visited the
New England manufacturing section:
had seen the factories and talked
with the manufacturers. He gathered
sufficient information tie enable him to
understand that if it were not for the
fact that the presidential campaign
is pending, many of the factories would
even now be closed in the face of the
prevailing prices of New England.
And | know" he said, ''that if they
the planters) attempt to force cotton |
up to twelve or thirteen cents, thew
will shut down anyhow, campaign or
no campaign"

Mr.. Craig is of the opinion that this
is going to be producers season alto
gether, and that for the first time in
many years, since 1879, the planter will
be able to dictate terms.

-
MY advice to the planters
would be to market their cotton
at the prevailing prices, rather
than force an issue with the man
ufacturers by holding back their
cotton for fabulous prices. There
is no likelihood of the market
declining and present prices are
very comforta BILE and profitable"

with their fair partners, and the scene
in the arnory was an animated and
beautiful one, the cadet gray and con-
ventlonal black forming. with the vari-
colored crowns, and profuse decorations
overhead, mass of color that was par
tlcularly pleasing to the eye.
The decorations were on lavish
scale, anu took in the entire building.
Flags and national bunting were every
where, relieved By the colors of the
class, blue and white, and the school
colors. orange and black, the whole
artlstically relieved by palms and other
greenery. A distinct military tlnge was
given to the ball room by the stacked
arms and the little brass cannon, which
was appropriately mounted. Glass
mottos were also very much in evidence,
and the embellishments in general re-
flected credit on the decorators.
The attendance was made up mostly
of the younger set. and they gave way
to the spirit Of the affair as only the
Juvenile can. The ball opened ut 9
o'clock, ending about o'clock this
morning. At midnight, supper was
served in tho assembly room by 2Legen-
fielder. Meister's orchestra furnished
the music, for dance programme Of
twenty numbers. The committee in

8 The railroad earnings for February
show even better relative increases than
for the preceding four months. A fac
tor in the improvement is doubtless
rates, but at the same time the volume
Of the business will be accepted as the
principal factor in the gains of income
over corresponding periods in the pre-
vIous year. In view, then, Of the large
increases which February, 1892 shows
over February, 1898. the gains Of Tebru-

ANOMALOUS CLIMATE.
Island on the Coast of Siberia That Has
Varied Meteorolo9y.


Saghalien, off the eastern coast of
Siberia, presents very curious anom-
ally Of climate. The island is bathed
by two cold ocean currents and in
winter nothing protects it against the
Icy northwest winds coming from ST.
IBERIA. At the sea level the snow falls
continually and stays on the ground
till the end of May, and the seashore
Is very cold. Further inland, how
ever, especially as we go higher up,
the climate is modified-just the op-
posite to what is observed elsewhere.
It has often been observed in Siberia
and in central Europe that in winter
the cold is greater in the plains and
the villages and that the highlands
have sensibly milder temperature;
1t is as IL the denser cold air accum-
ulated in the lowlands. The cold air
accumulates in the low regions OF the
island and on the coast the higher
regions have a more elevated tenn
perature. So it happens that the low
er parts have an arctic vegetation,
while the intermediate attitudes have
the vegetation of temperate zone,
sometimes subtropica1. The birch, the
ash, the pine, the fir abound in the low
regions and form often impenetraDle
forests, but toward the center OF the
island appear bamboos, hyorangeas
azalias and other plants that one ls
greatly surprised to meet and whose
presence can be explained only by the
altogether abnormal climatic conol-
tons of the island.-Newcastle enron
icle.
