He predicts that the next President will be a Democrat. The President was the guest of Collector Cooper, on his fishing fro lic, Friday. And Collector Cooper used the people's revenue cutter Hamilton and made the people foot the bill for that little piscatorial pastime. A foreign correspondent of a New York paper describes Mrs. Parnell as is, Mrs. O'Shea that was, as a woman of "high literary tastes, strong-mind ed, original, brilliant, and possessing a winning personality". She also posesse l a fire escape. The Knights ot Labor and Secre tary Foster are ina tangle about trie Discharge of some plate printers in Washington. Foster and his par ty are also .confronted with a tin- plate trouble that causes them to indulge in much prevarication. Mrs. Mary Lease, the crinolined Alliance orator of Kansas, says the enemies of the Alliance have tried to poison her with painted, lemon ade. She now eschews lemonade determined to retain her lease on life and also on the most expansive mouth in Kansas. ' rresiaent Harrison, remarks an exchange, has the credit of being the greatest walker, the White House has contained for manv a vear. His greatest walking feat, however, will take place about the 4th of March, 1893, when hewill walk out of the White House for good. The two New Orleans editors who iought a "duel with swords went back on their profession and practi cally owned up that they didn't be-. "eve the "pen is mightier than the sword." If they didn't want to fight with pens they might have com promised and jabbed each other with Fabers, as so many of the breth ren do. ; A contemporary speaking of exe" cution by electric shock as both swift and sure, asks: "But is it desirable?", Answering for ourself, we say no.

And here again this huno-iinor Hie. . w o o patch builder fails to inform the eager multitudes whether the Presi dent in this rig and a blue felt hat felt good or whether he got a bite. This is'ptovokingfor if after attiring himself thus elaborately to interview the finny denizens of the deep he didn't get a bite it would be rough on him. The mayor of Chicago threatens to strip the buttons from the police men who fail to bust up the gam bling houses in their , beats. This beats the record. Other mayors have .sometimes deDrived Dolice- men of their batons but when Mr. Washburne hit the button idea he struck the Chicago Dolicemen in a tender spot, for what would a Chica go policeman be without buttons! "God help the surplus" has come true, remarks the New York World. But where is the surplus to help? It's 'swunk" away,, vanished, non est. An honest Secretary would own up when he looks into the craping void where it once was, instead of doing as Secretary Foster does, when he changes the form of monthly state ment to make it appear that there is some of it still left. Russell Harrison says: "It looks Clevelandish to me now." It will look decidedly more so, dear Rus sell, in the early November days of next year. I NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Hamme Straw hats, Geo. A.

Br'or Woody Studies Their Habits and Gets Them Down Fine. Br'er Woody, who is a close student of natural history in a natural way, is giving much time and attention to an investigation of the habits of Br'er Bear. He has seen several bears within a few weeks near his summer retreat on Hewlett's creek, and a cub was killed on the Masonboro side of that stream re cently. ' Alter a careful study of their migra tory habits, Br'er Woody says he's "got 'em down fine." In the Spring of the year they leave the swamps of Onslow, and, keeping near the Sounds, cross the country- to Brunswick county, making frequent stops, and sometimes ranging a week or two near Carolina Beach. In the Summer and Fall they return by the same route to their old haunts in Onslow; and it was during this return trip recently that Br'er Woody made his observations. Recently he has seen two bears in Hewlett's creek and one on the shore opposite his home. Br'er Woody was not prepared for battle on these occasions, but he will be ready for action next season, and the field editor of the Star is anticipating some fine sport with dog and gun when the next I migratory movement of Br'er Bear begins.

The Future of the Staple Bureau Beport A North Carolinian in Texas His First - Cotton Ginned on the Glorious Fourth. It is difficult to find any decided ex pression of opinion among cotton men about the future of the staple, though the preponderating sentiment seems to be bearish in tone. The cotton report of the Agricultural Bureau, issued on the 10th, appears to have produced no effect whatever on the market. Its estimates had been already discounted and did not vary from private advices previously received. Mr. C. C. Lewis, of Realetis, Duval county, Texas,1 writes to his brother, Mr.-Adolphus Lewis, in this city, that he ginned his first cotton on the 4th of July the first ginned in Texas this year; and that last year the first cotton was ginned on the 5th of July. Mr. Lewis went to Texas from New Han over county about thirty years ago, and has found farming profitable in the Lone Star State. Galveston sent out telegrams yester day inviting congratulations on its hav ing received one million bales this sea son and being the third in importance of the cotton ports of the United States.
