scarcely any on the curb market yes

that they were freely supplied, and

pleased are those who have tried
our plan in the past:

farmer of Louisiana, says: The King
Seed shipped straight from North Carolina
has a crop of matured bolls from IS to 50
per cent. more than the rest of the cotton,
all of which was King, but the other was
grown from seed raised the previous year

On the mutely eloquent face, breath

funeral might indeed well have served
for her wedding feast; espoused in ii
black hour, the superstitious lower
classes of Russia have always since
deemed her unlucky. and perhaps to her
iM-omened destiny ascribe many Of the
woes and fatalities which have since
beset the nation.
The birth OF tour daughters when the

To be hated by outsiders Is not pleas

She Is disliked by. hi army because

ly, because she is her successor and
sits where once she sat, and fourthly,
because she loves her son to almost
idolatry and is consequently Jealous of
