shine of plenty. It is gratifying to know that the South Is more than con- tributing its share to the general and marked improvement The value of the cotton crop of the season now closing was estimated to be S4S2, 100000. This is the crop of the South exclusively. One source of the prosperity of this country is the excess of the exports over the imports, and this balance would not be in favor of the United States but for the Southern cotton crop. There is fair prospect for an other good cotton crop and that it will bring good prices. Should the next yield amount to $4S2, 100000 or some where near that figure, the South will be in better condition than for 20 years.
 Besides this cotton crop we have had here two good seasons of peaches and melons and the value of these Georgia productions has gone into millions
 Have we not reason then to feel pros porous and justified in putting proper value on this best of all the sections of the United States? Our people must

THE PARISH PRIEST"
Daniel Sully's New Play Presented a
 the Hyperion.

1 Daniel Sullys New Play Presented at the Hyperion.
 Daniel Sully, the inimitable, appeared in his new play, "The Parish Priest"
 at the Hyperion last evening and mer-
 tied all the appreciation that his audi ence gave him. His new play, while unskilful in parts, is decidedly good and gives MT. Sully an excellent chance to show his particular genius.
 The parish Priest" is a comedy of middle class life in a Pennsylvania mining town. The story is a simple one-how young doctor in the village who has grown up with friendship for Nellie Durkin, the priests niece, be- comes ambitious and desires to marry Agnes Cassidy, the daughter of retir- ed physician in the town. There is a long series of entanglements following this in which the priest, Jim the heros brother, and everybody are mixed up, and then the third act untangles every thing satisfactorily.
 The play hinges on the betrothal of Dr. Welsh and Nellie Durkin, which is set aside by the hero for more ambi tious marriage Finally his better na-' ture triumphs and everything ends we'll
 Some very clever acting was given by MT. Sully in the character of the priest, and from start to finish he was the life of the stage. John D. Griffin as Michael Sullivan furnished excellent humor, as did Miss Helen Nelson as Katherine Corrigan, visitor from Ire land. Miss Leola. Nave as Helen Dur kin, the heroine, made the hit of the evening, her acting being remarkably sweet and unaffected. More or less horse-play through the last two acts nearly spells the good effect of the finer portions Jim's noisy interruption of the tete-a-tete just at the close com ing as a disagreeable jar. The play will be repeated this evening and ought to call out an audience.

GOLD AND SILVER WARE DE-
 SIGNS

The actual patterns in use are vague 1 ly reminiscent. as a rule, of the worst | style of French eighteenth century or | nament. The excellent designs of the | Empire period have left few traces; | their simplicity allowed too little scope for the vanity of the generation of or
 namentists that followed. And the patterns that have survived have been,
 so to speak, made permanent by the existence of the special tools and dies already alluded to, an economical con- sideration which has been an almost insurmountable obstacle in the way of the introduction of new themes. Even when new design gets into the shops the bogie of "impracticability, or at least, of Saving of expense" is gener- ally raised as an excuse for cutting out of it pretty well everything which can-
 not easily be made on the old line.
 Until few years ago the designer of any grade was not known in the work
 shop, which subsisted on it's stock pat terms. A kind of draughtsman who works to order is now occasionally em- ployed, but the work done Is in this re- spect absolutely at the mercy of the salesman, who too often knows noth- ing of art, and will not even give the public an opportunity of seeing any thing of real merit It must be ad- mitted, however, that even among all this bad design there is distinct movement in favor of reproductions of old and more simple forms. But they are made by the new bad methods, and while one appreciates the improvement in the taste of the public which asks for them one does not feel inclined to give the shopkeepers very much credit therefor.
 The ideal would appear to lie In the establishment of small workshops or studios-the particular cant term is immaterial-in which skilled men and apprentice boys should work together in close association, under the super vision of an artist well grounded In the practical requirements of his craft and devoting himself exclusively there to. In this light we should perhaps, look on certain of the establishments now existing, though the ground covered by them is sometimes so varied as to excite unfavorable comment. Still, one supposes that an artist in inetdl lnust i've lne sdiile ao dlly olner man.
 There is one influence which, if it could be effectively brought to bear, would almost at once redeem the whole situation; namely, that of the purchas- ing public. It is simply inconceivable that a sane man should be content to buy an object of art" which is stated to have been designed by limited lia- bility company. If buyers would only
