J A pretty young woman, will) a ruddy bloom produced by the crisp November air on her cheeks and an earnestness in her manner that showed she meant what the wrote, left the following ut this office : "Several papers inquire in alarm, 'How is it that there are ho many nice young girls in our cities unmarried and likely to ytjuiainso? Our answer is comprised in iOe word tobacco. In old limes, when you could approach a young man within whispering distance without being nause sted by his breath, he used when his tlay's work was over to speiid his even iopf with some good girl, or girls, either around the family hearth, or iu pleasant Ualks, or at Home iunoceut place of Suiiisement. The young man of tlie present day takes his cigar and pull's away bis vitality till he is as stupid us an Oyster, and then goes to some saloou to qucuch the thirst created by smoking, nil sheds crocodile tears every time his Stockings are out at the toes that girls 1 owadays are so extravagant that a fellow an't afford to get married. Nineyouug jboq out often deliberately give up re spectable female society to indulge the Solitary, enervating habit of smoking until fchcir brokeu down constitutions clamor for careful uuising; then they coolly ask some uiee girl to exchange her health, , Strength, beauty and unimpaired intellect for their sallow face, tainted blood and breath and irritable temper and mental jiuibeciliiy. Women may well hntc smok ing and smokers. We have kuowu the 'most geuile and retiued men to grow ibarsh in temper ami uncleanly in their - personal habits under the thralldoru of a Jtryanny which they had not love nor I respect enough for women to break I (hrough."

A Texas jnurnal observes on this sub ject ns follows: The farmer who fattens his own boef and pork, mutton and poultry upon hia home-grown hay and corn and oats, who has no milk or eggs, bu'ter or cheese to buy, whose cellar contains a sufficient supply of ill the varieties of fruits and vegetables that his family requires, and whose sheds are supplied with fuel from his owl forests, can afford to sell his sur plus products at low prices if necessary. I He Deeds a little money for taxes and clothing. His tea and coffee and sugar canuotbe produced at home, but such I farmer has but iittlo to pay out compar- cd to the specialist who devotes his year's j labor to one thing alone. With only one crop to sell at low prices and all others to buy, he is depeudent upon the season and subject to the whole chapter of accid cots for his inean, and the era of hih prices that benefits his neighbor, who has a greater variety of crops, may prove bis financial ruin. Having this in mind, will it not be Well for each and every farmer to try to so diversify his crops and products that be is sure of having abundance of all that he can produce for the wants of his own family first ? Then he can provido for '""I a surplus for his home market, and after that take his favorite special crop as means of procuriug that surplus of income above expenditure which should be tho result of his knowledge and his labor. Thus he will limit production to his own benefit, and thus will he reduce his hours of labor when he desires, without feeling that he is likely to be limited in bis supply of the farm products necessary for the comfortable support of his family He will be more independent of the flue tuationa of the market and the whims of the buyers, and be will bogin to feel that be owns his farm, his stock and his crops, and that they minister to his wants, in stead of feeling i hut be is a slave to them inexorably bound 10 make them produce err'iin mm of money nece?sary to meet u'a U i nses euoli vr. THE PRICE OFCOTTON. THE ALLIANCE THINKS IT CAN BR IiN- CREAiSUI) BY INCIIEASINll CONSUMP TION FARMERS ADVISED TO HOLD. During the session of tho Supreme 1'iuncil of the National Farmers' Allianeo nd Industrial Union the following reso- lotion was offered by .Marion Sutler of Nof(h Carolina and unanimously adop ted : "llesolved, That a committee consis ting of one delegate from each cotton state be appointed to take under consid eration and if possible formulate some plan by which the world's greatest pro ducers of the South's greatest, staple, cotton, may be ablo ko some extent at ast to regulate the quantity, consump tion, and marketing time aud price of said crop." By motion tho comtnitteo was made a standing one to malie a final report at the next annual meeting. N Several resolutions relative to acreage, marketing, etc , were introduced by L. F. Livingston, of Georgia; 11. F. lingers, of Florida, and others. The committee made a partial report by offering as a substitute the following resolutions : REPORT OF COMMITTEE. Whereas, The cotton growers of the South are greatly oppressed because of the depressed price of the raw material, caused, iu a measure, from combines and speculations in futures, but mainly from an unjust, oppressive nud discriminating financial system and a high protective tarilf on manufactured cotton materia and Whereas, It is now alleged by specula tors and combines that overproduction is the prime cause of depresiou in prices, wheu, in fact, we have reason to know that the cause is not overproduction, but underconsumption caused by inability to buy resulting from advanced prices of manufactured articles of cotton and other causes as stated above; and Whereas, it has been recommended by members of the Farmers' Alliance iu several States in the cotton belt, that the acreage bo decreased ono third by tho growers, and knowiug, as we do, that the price of tho raw material caouot be uffected by the loyal Allianccuien alone of the many thousand growers decreasing their ucrcage, while, in fact, the effort to thus reduee the quantity would actuate thousands of grower) to increase their acreage in cotton; Therefore, as one of the remedies to secure an advanced price in raw cotton material by cheapening the manufactured products, and thereby increase the ability of the masses to consume; be it Resolved, Tbat the National Farm ers Allianeo and Industrial Union, repre senting the best interests of the producers and consumers of America alike, do respectfully ask that Congress entirely relieve manufactured articles of cottou from aDy tariff duty whatever, and place the same on the free list of American products. Resolved, That a copy of these reso lutions be certified lu the speaker of the House of Representatives and president of the Senate of the fifty second Congress of America, duly attested by the Presi dent and Secretary of tho National Farmers' Allianeo and Industrial Union under seal of the supreme counsel.

Mr Butler, of North Carolina, on be half of the committee, made a further report is follows : Resolved, That being iu possession of facts that are thoroughly reliable, which warrant us in a belief I hat a false estimate has been purposely made of tho present crop of cotton, we feel safe in goaiaiiiee- ing better prices it cotton eun be held for sixty days.

Several months ago we told of aud old ady, then living in Philadelphia, who hud been the plaeee of Henry Clay. We now learn of the death of this woman, and of the destruction of tho letters from Clay, which she lined to exhibit as the greatest treasures in her possession. She was a qunrdroon, her mother a Kentucky slave, and her father having been the nephew of George Washington. Clay saw her first during one of his campaigns iu Kentucky. She was a marvel of beauty, and her father had appropriated a con siderable sum of money to her education and support. This girl went to Philadel phia and lived in an establishment set up for her by Mr. Clay. To this house would Clay repair whenever his duties at Washington admitted of his leaving that city. Alter (.'lay 8 death his placee was married to a German, and they went to California. After several years she re turned a widow, and lived in Philadelphia up to the time of her death. To the end she retained much of her persona! beauty and all her old charm of inauner. She was exceptionally intelligent, and her reminiscences of the old times were full of interest and information. Several years ago she revisited New Orleans, and while there she invited Mr. Clarence King of New York, who hap pened to be there en route from Mexico, to go with her and see the house where as a girl she had lived in the old town The two walked down Canal street toward the French market and came duly up to the Clay statue. The old lady did not know of the existence of this statue. Mr. King called her attention to it. "She was overcome with emotion, says iur. Tung. "I was never a witness to a more pathetic scene. In fact, I was compelled to call a carriage to take her to her hotel." This old lady had forty love letters from Clav. Just before her death she could not leave them for others to read others who might misinterpret them, Mr. King says that she allowed him to read many of them, for she was proud of Clay's regard for her. These letters indicated that Clay was madly iu love with her. Aftor reading them it was apparent that the real reason for Clay leaving the senate was not political, but was a determination to follow his beauti ful placee to New Orleans, whither she had goue. Chicaao Daily News- THE SOMA PLANTS. In tho Aryan religion the chief offer ing to the gods was the fomented juice of tho Soma or Moon plant, which, being a strong drink, gave new excitement to those who partook of it, and was believed to impart power to the gods, it was believed, moreover, that it wrought mir acles, and for this reason, perhaps, it af terwards became the chief god of the Hindus. In a vedic hymn the worship per says : ''We've quafted the Soma bright, And are immortal grown ; We've eutered into light, Aud all the gods have known. What mortal now can harm, ' Or foeman vex us uiorf ? Through thee beyond alarm, Im mortal G ou. we soAr. No such power as this is attributed to any plant at the present time, and yet many of the cures performed by S. S. S , a purely vegetable remedy, seemed almost to border ou the miraciib us.
