ORIGIN OF "E;lackmait."

An authority On the derivation OF
words says that "blackrlall as USED
bv Coke and Blackstone had an lnno'
cent significance meaning simply rent
paid in labor or produce instead CT
in money, rent paid in white money
(silver) being known as white Mail"
The word mail" meaning rent, comes
from the Anglo Saxon "nael," a por'
ton or possibly from the old French
.anaille," a halfpenny. In the days
before England and Scotland were
united the freebocters used to make
freoaent raids on the farmers living
along the border and the money paid
to secure immunity from these ralas
came to be known as '"Dlackmall.

MAGOON Is OPTIMISTIC
New Provisional Governor of Cuba
Anticipates Early Peace Among
the Islanders.

A special from Havana says: Chas.
e. Magoon's first day as governor
of Cuba, which began Sunday, passed
busily but quietly. The palace was
singularly still, compared with the
eyentful days of the past regime.
Governor Magoon said that he was
looking forward with confidence to a
peaceful administration for the work
accomplished by Messrs. Taft and Be-
con, both in the paci6cation OF the
island and laying the foundation for
a smooth and. successful system Of
provisional government. The governor
sees no reason to anticipate further
sudden changes in the situation or
any specially sensational incident;
he is rather of the opinion that now
governmental matters will be OF the
common place order compared to the
exciting and rapid succession of devei
opments Ct the past two months.
Governor Magoon has announced
his decision to postpone the appoint
ment of cabinet officers indefinitely,
His intention is to consider thorough
" the conditions and needs Of each
department, and this can be better
accomplished at the outset by having
the subordinate. heads report direct
to himself. BY this method the gov
ernor thinks he will be better enabled
TO select the ministers best fitted
for the respective posts.
Asked whether he was likely to per-
NIT partisan political expediency to i'll
f1uence cabinet or other appointments,
the governor replied that such con-
siderations might rule to some ex-
tent, since it certainly would be I'M
possible TO appoint to high Offices
men to whom a considerable portion
Of the people was opposed. Efficiency
and suitability, however, would be the
main consideration.
There will be kept strict account
ing of the expenses incurred by the
American army OF occupation as are
chargeable to Cuba. These will In
clude only such expenses as would not
have been incurred but for the COM
ing Of the troops to the island.

exports to China end Japan. The total
values of merchandise exported to.
China in the eight months ending
with August, 1866, is but $4,000, ,0c9

CLASH OVER GOTTEN SEED.
Oil Mills and Planters Cannot Agree

Oil Mills and Planters Cannot Agree
as to Prices. ..
The New Orleans Times-Democrae
says: "The present situation in regard
tc cotton seed, the most perishable OF
all our perishable crops is without
parallel in the history of southern
agriculture and manufactures.
6 "At the lowest calculation 100000
tens of cotton seed which have al
ready been ginned or are to be: GIN
Eed within the. next thirty days have
been so damaged from the excess OF
moisture, germinatien Of the seed in
the omen boil and frost. ,that no one
can even approximately place val
uation on these million tons.
taThe impossibility Of naming fair
price for this damaged seed seems
likely to increase discord between
planters and oil mills, leading to the
throwing away of enormous quantities
of the seed on the cne hand and on
Sthe other to the purchase OF large
quantities by mill managers at prices
which mean ruin to their companies.
Zone solution for the situation is
to have some banker or merchant IN
the town where cotton seed are sold
to open negotiations between the mill
and the planters and arrange basis
whereby the planter may receive a
small cash payment per ton on ac-
count and the balance when the seed
are made into products and sold"

was not to be expected that the San

Nealon was very close to the kings all
the way. In long hitting NeaIon is
ninth out of possibly 140 players in the
league. He is led only by Lumley,
Wagner, Jordan. Chance, Steinfeldt
Nealon has twenty-five doubles, twelve
triples and three home runs to his
credit, breaking into the ten leading

are the only players having more tri-

his total bases on hits were 1876 While

Nealon, perhaps, scored more men
