A Big Drop in Tie Price of Cotton.

New York, March ls.-Danicl j.
SuIly, the cotton operator, who has for
fifteen months been the biggest figure
in the cotton markets of the world, and
who has "bulled" cotton from seven
cents Il pound to over 1G, announced
his inability to make good his engage
ments on the New York cotton ex-
change today. Within few moments
cotton fell nearly thirteen dollars e
pale from tho highest figures of the
day.
1t was estimated that something like
three-quartcrs of million bales of
cotton were traded induring the TWEEN
ty minutes OF the panic that followed
the announcement, and that of this,
upwards OF Il million bales represented
"fOrced liquidatiOn,' or the selling out
or men whose margins have been near
ly or quite wiped out.
AS the market slunped 2jO points
during this period the loss falling on
this element amounted to something
over million dollars.
Tho mai iict Steadicu after about
twenty minutes and then there was "A
snddcn upward shoot of about all even
hundred points This sharp upward
rise was brought about by the buying
OF brokers' and spectators who saw
that the market had slumpcd too fa1
and would react Just is it did. A part
OF the excitement on ,he floor of the
exchange was caused by the scramble
OF brokers WllO wanted just such bar
gains, and had to fight to get i'm the
ring to get them. The buying rush
was almost III exciting and just as
noisy, II not more SO, as the panic.

The Decline Of New England.

The New York Sun IN an article on
the decline of New England recitcs an
anecdotc recently told by Il gentleman
who had visited the State of Vermont
which is as follows:
81 was the guest of venerable old
gentleman, who had been born in the
house he was then living in. as had
been his father. He took great pleas
ure in driving me about the country
and pointing out it's former greatness
and prosperity. On one of our eXcur-
sions be pointed out several spots in
the course of few hours drive where
there had been school houses in his
DOyhOOd days; where there had been
thrifty farms and comm0diOus farm
houses, bat now marked by abandoned
and decaying ruins.
Coming from the West as ] did,
where Improvement is the rule, cx
pressed surprise at the general dcca
dcncc, when he pathctically rcmaIkcd
"Thc war Of the rebellion was the
greatest disaster that ever happened to
Vermont. Oar young men and horses
went into the army, they never return
cd-tO stay.
1t is rather surprising to hear at this
late day that the devastation and loss
caused by the Civil War was not con
fined to the South alone, but that Ntw
lbHHIdIIu ulSp HiIltItu great losses from
which she has not yet recovered, while
the Southern States are richer than
they have ever been in their history,
and are far advanced on the highway
of progress. With the abandoned
farms and depressed manufacturing
Industries Vermont and other New
England States are described as being
in bad way indeed, but there is little
rens0n to hope that their condition will
improve 50 long as they support the
tstand-pat" tariff policy of the Repub-
lican party, which deprivcs their man
ufacturers of th., benefit of free raw
materials and an opportunity to eX-
tend the foreign trade so essential to
the prosperity and expansion of their
industries
It was in New England that the
movement was born and nurtured
which resulted in the Civil War, the
| freeing of several million slaves, and
reconstruction which completely i'm
pOverished the vanquished South.
Now that New England should be dis
! astrOusly hurt by the result of her own
work seems to be the irony of fate
and most painful retribution. How
ever, it may be that in time Vermont
| and her sister States will find more
prosperity in becoming Democratic
then adhering stubb0rnly to Republi-
can policies that are Fastening the
luin of their industries and the decrease
.. OF their population.-Naw Orleans

Clark Walters Found Dead.

Clark Walters. carpenter at Cen
tral, was found dead near the track of
tho Southern railway about one mile
from Central, Wednesday morning.
Coroner Parsons went to Central Fri
day morning to hold the inquest, the
investigation consuming the entire day
and portion of Saturday. While the
jury did not find verdict, it is quite
likely that in a few days it will be to
the effect that the deceased came to
bis death by being struck by one Of
the Southern Railway locomotives, and
that it was due to the deceased's own
carelessness.
Mr.. j. E. Brown, merchant at Cen
tral, stated that the deceased came to
his store and seemed to be intoxicated
aud that he called for q gallon of cider
"to sober up on" The sale was made
and Walters proceeded with a gallon
demijohn of cider towards his home at
Calhoun. The cider was found near
the body of the dead man, and prob
ably half gallon of it had disappear
ed. Coroner Parsons shipped the re-
mainder Of the cider to Columbia to be
analyzed, and the jury will not find a
verdict until the result of the analysis
is received. .-Pickens Sentinel Jour

1t was argued on behalf Of the de.
fendant, in suit brought to recover
damages for alleged breach of promise
of marriage, on trial in one of the
Philadelphia courts recently, that if
the promise to marry were made on a
Sunday, as claimed By the plaintiff, ,
the contract was void by law, unless
the defendant afterward acknowledged
it. Tie recovery Of damages was re-
sisted for several reasons, but the
point made by defendants counsel,
that the contract was made on Sun.
day, and was, therefore, void unless
subsequently acknowledged, if we'll
taken, will give some concern to
couples on the high road to matri-
mony who have kept their Sunday
engagement profound secret. The
fact is the great majority Of the prom
ises to marry are made on Sunday,
for from time immemorial Sunday,
among other good and worthy uses,
has been devoted to courtship. Many
young couples would, therefore, really
like to know, whether, in the cold, and
unromantic vernacular Of the Law
the common law or the Pennsylvania
: blue" law-such Sunday promises
are void unless expressly acknowled-
/ged afterward on some secular day.
However. the matter need cause no
alarm. It - easy TO arrange affairs
