many years past occurred at No. l

The men were mostly all upon the

workings below.
The signal was given to Engineer
Fine, who began lowering the men.
The carriage had gene but few feet.
when the engineer lost control of his
engines, owing to The reverse levers
failing to work. and the carriage, with
its load of human souls. 10 in all. was
dashed beyond the Ross vein. landing
nearly 100 feet below the surface, and
from there they were precipitated 300
feet further into a sump.
Had they not been killed outright
they would without doubt have been
drowned in the sump. which is fully Sc
feet deep with water.
No human aid could reach them, and
every man on the ill-fated carriage
has been given up by the officials as
lost.

the crop generally is very much

not mistaken in MY estimate OF
the crop, would 1t not be wise on
the part of the farmers to deliver
only a suficiency Of the crop as
will be necessary to liquidate
current expenses or Indebtedness
that may be due and hold the re-
mainder of the crop until the
SPECTATORS are combined OF the
trusts, thereby reap some OF the
profits rather than allow eastern
buyers to enjoy it all.
My judgment is with these
methods uniformly observed and

of our expectancy four weeks ago.
At that time the prospects were
never better in this section of the
country for a full crop, but continu-

hot, scorching sunshine completely
revolutionized the conditions of
the cotton crops, and resulted in
the loss Of nearly one half OF the

a middle crop.

A Sacred Suit Of Clothes.

This leads to reference to the
snit of clothes, obtained from the
Confederate Museum at Richmond
by the undersigned, which was
worn by Mr.. Davis at the time OF
his capture by Gen. Wilson, at
the close of the war. This may
be seen OIL exhibition, in an ebony
case, at Beauvoir, where it was
placed, by permission Of Mrs.
Davis, to disprove the falsehood
often circulated by the northern
press, that Mr.. Davis was captur-
ed in woman's dress. The suit is of
Confederate grey, and is in a good
state Of preservation, considering
that it is over forty years old. 1t
consists of pants, vest and Prince
Albert coat. All the old soldiers
take eff their hats as they look up
on this sacred relic and pause to
read the inscriptions and identif-
cation. A letter from James Parker

of Commandant Pujat, of the

south of Algeria. Tougourt was
remarkably unhealthful, but the
commandment, by diligent sanitary
work, has overcome that trouble.
To make the place more attractive
and pleasant for his garrison he
has mounted large acetylene lamps
high on the stems Of the gigantic
palm trees which shade the mar
ket place aud thus has given this
mid Sahara camping place quite
the appearance, by night of an
