It is a sta; le which is. governed in the price not so much by thelaw,of de mand and supply as by the operi tioos of "speculators,- who gamble on io and put the price up today and down tomorrow, and the consequence is that the cotton planter who makes that bis sole dependence is always at the mercy, of : influences beyond, his control. If operating upon borrowed capital or in debt he is compelled to sell for what he can get when those debts maturer and that may be at a time when cotton is at the lowest fig ure, and the gamblers "are performing their' liveliest antics. .In point of real, substantial wealth and pros perity, thosf sections of the country which are given to grass culture, the dairy and to stock raising are vastly better off than those sections which confine themselves to a" fluctuating specialty, whatever that specialty may " be. The 'I farmers have mora) money, live better and easier, aod enjoy more of the comforts of iife without half the annoyances that the average cotton planter is subjected to. v It is a surprising thing that, with all the experiences of the past before them, our planters do not profit by It more than they do, and that they will . continue year after, year to plow and plant cotton as if it was the only crop that could : be grown successfully, and in which there was any - remuneration. And this, too, in a section whose natural pasturage is unsurpassed, and where any and all the grasses upon which stock feed will grow luxuriantly, and where there is no winter to make the housing of stock an expensive matter. as it is in Fiormern hum vv esberu States4; Here and there we find a farmer who has departed from the beaten track and adopted; new ideas and new methods, and generally they are' the thriving men that we meet, but; they are too few,- and they are the exception when' they should be the rule- Larger meadows, more , of them, smaller cotton fields and fewer of them, larger and better cultivated wheat, oats and corn fields, this is the path to"' successful ', and profitable farming in the South:- We are under obligations to Mr. P, Henry Dugra, Grand Sachem" of fie. Tammany Society ;:rof - Kew York, for an invitation to participate in its ninety-seventh celebration of the Fourth of July.. It will hardly be convenient for us to be with the Sachems on that interesting occasion, but we wish them a 'jam up royal time all the same. ; Tammany is ven erable but has parted . with none of the vigor of youth, and whether as a kicker or a pusher in the '. procession itisa powr. . .

" ' ' Mr. S. A. Long, a prominent Be- publican of Ohio, remarks that, the Democrats of that State are so split up this year that-the Republicans could elect a "yellow - dog"5 Governor, t It was the presumption that the yellow dog business could be carried on with impunity, and success .'that finally unhorsed the Republican party and put a Democrat in the White House. W. H. Humphrey, : postmaster iac St. Iroquois, Dakota, has a streak f of humor in him.

Furthermore, I can, get along with out a postoffice, and feel quite confU dent the department" will mange in some way to get along without me." The Dog is) ike Elevator. - - Buffalo Courier, June lFth. A gentleman in this' citv owns a dog 'v hose intelligence he -is willing to back against that bf any other- brute. It is the dogs habit to accom pany his master to his office on the fifth floor of one of-the prominent. business blocks in this city, the eles viator being used by both man and dog. One day the man had occasion to leave his office and the doe fol lowed biro. Paring their wandering they were separated, - and 1 the man returned to the office alone. After awhile-he heard a whining ; outside, and there stood the dog. Inquiry from the elevator boy brought out the fact that on opening the elevator door afoer one of the ' regular' trips the dog, who wasVBtandine outside. ran iq and lay on the floor of the car. There be. remained until the' boy started up again and - although the door-was opened at the second and fourth floors, the' dog did not rstii". Curious to see what would' happen, the boy passed the fifth floor, and immediately, the dog began to whine. Arrived at the top of .the building the door-was opened, but the deg re fused to go out until, descending, the fifth was reached, and as soon as the door was opened be ' darted through j The owner claims that the sagacious brute counted the doors as he passed them, and knew exactly at what one he mu-t Btop .

Major Hill was the son of the late Harry Hill, one of the wealthiest residents of Louisiana "and distin guished for his great charicy. At the death of - his father Major Hill came into the possession of property valued at $1,000,000. but the war left himin Only - moderate circumstances. ; He was for some time connected with the Nashville Banner, and at-the time of his death was well known in sport ing circles iBFOugn ms letters in sport ing newspapers. He was personally acquainted with many of the illus trious men in the old world. On one occasion he gave a banquet in Paris in honor of the Prince; of ' Wales which -cost $13,000. He leaves a widow and two sons in France. Major Hill was fifty years of age, an accom plished linguist, a noted .musical critic, and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. -... -v internal He venae Collections. .

That is all Bis wor; Bhip and he is contented. ; The Greek in hisjdaily life is not so devOut; he.

Nearly all the women have rejected the Greek dress, but the meu hold to it more strongly than they, r : I mean only the people in the large towns as Athens, Patros, Syra and Piraeus. Of course, the men and women in the small towns and in the country dress altogether in the iirecian style. ;: The people are lazy, if compared with the western nations. 1 he ureefc farmer fs especially so addicted ; he lies in the shade and makes his wife and lit tle children gcratoh over. a. piece of ground which wecould ' step across almost, and with this he ' is content, He has few wants A few goats fur- nish him his milk'aud. two or three f rape vines and pine trees . give him is wine and resin. He says to, him self, "what more do I want?"" And thus he lets the morrow take care of itself, and wishes for no more. : But he is filthy, and .fleas, and -lioe as a1 rule plague him and his household, and the poor ' stranger that Centers within his gates. Even in; Athens in1 some places it is very unclean, and gome streets ready to produce disease: and death i and to clean them and the . houses upon them would be almost as difficult as the cleansing of the- -stables of Augeas.-: The little fellows in the ice-cream stands on tne streets are also expedite. I' will give an ex ample: Whenever one 'steps up to try ; his ice-cream, he hands out the little . egg-shaped cup full with much dex terity; the ice cream is : eaten with much "enjoyment,"; and i the 'little fellow takes nis tongue (if such ex pression be allo wed) and licks out the cup and thus sets it bapk ; ready for the next comet A ."lick and a prom ise'' is written down in his oatechismj I dare say, butl do n6t ; wish to be the next comer. The thing that; ins terests the Athenian "especially most after his coffee wine and cigarettes is' politics.; They are born and die talk-. Ing politics. I confess this is much better than, talking scandal, as is so common in the large cities in western Europe, but the political talk is car ried to the extremes. . Greece is very democratic, although she has a King. ;There is great freedom of the press, and every man wishes to put bis fin f er in the pie, whether hot, or .cold, f it is hot, he houts Pheff r and tells the otber fellow to put his finger In, too to see him "laugh", a: frown and shake his - fingers, for "misery Ipves company." - If the pie is cola, then they all have.a goodtime Office is nothing but a grab game, and I am sorry to say that Greece has no party which represents principles. "Every body for -himself -and: the ugly old devil for all" is the motto of the po litical parties ; here. They .are all United in this one thing, viz : to' caps ture Macedonia and Crete from Tur key. If Greece could do - this, she would be delighted. She deserves them both, but we fear , it will be - a long time before this can be consum mated, s Brave- Crete- and "suffering Macedonia long for - the time when they will be free from Turkish mis rule and barbarity. V With' all their faults the Greeks have made great Srogress smce their war of Indepen ence and should have the help of other nations in the carrying out of their cherished plans. - I. have writ ten of the Greek costume in 'one of my former letters, so I shall not write any on this. The Greek: national dress and th( dress of the islanders are very attractive and pretty, but, by the way, not as pretty "as some of the Grecian girls, if I may beallowed to eipressan opinion.- I have seen some most beautiful Grecian maidens here. A great many have the classic type. As a rule the Greek girls are modest and reserved, for the rules of society are very strict upon them, as it is in more eastern lands, and they have not those privileges as the wo men in our" country receive, one. 4ike her sisters, is -, fond, though, of dress, and exceedingly so. She does not indulge in the "love prelimina ries" so much as .is done in other countries, as the writer knows of, for "courting" is the part of the brother usually ; ot course, tnere are excep tions. . rne brother tases a great in terest in his sisters, and often mana ges their "courting' affairs for them. uere is about the manner in which it is woricedv lhe brother nas a young acquaintance whom he likes, and this joung acquaintance happens also ro nee this brother's sister, yuick worJc.k,xne brother ta&es him to his eister and says: "Here, Penelope, -is a gooa young teilow, tafee mm, mar ry ana love him." And you may wager' that she generally does it, even If the love does come after the marriage, and not before. There is a great amount of philosophy in this kind of. . courting," but not very much, sentiment I confess. The Greek c women make good wives, nevertheless, to judge them here in their homes. As a rule the brothers never marry until their sisters 'are married. The brother waits till then and then he . himself begins to look about him ? but a brother with a half a dozen ugly sisters is not in a - very enviable position, . according to i my view, that is, if . he himself desires immediately a companion in life.. The education of the girls is neglected ; the boys get the most 1 that is givec. But the women have not- as yet reached : that ' point - where ; they are able to demand; so long as -they sit idle and' ask - for nothing more than that which is given, - they may rest assured that . they . will receive iiothing. for the majority of this peo .pie thfckthat knowledge in a:wo- mans neaa is about - as useless as knowledge -in- a door knob, .

HOW SOUTHERN WOMEPi RIDE. fe ':s;ii-B-.. :..: . An Englishman Finds the Most Grace , lal Etqaestriennes in Dixie. : Dodge's Paliocltis and Penelope. In this country the - southerner is the most constantly, in the saddle, and a good rider in the sunny south i8a throughly, good "rider..,- But I have of ten wondered at the number ot poor ones it is- possible ,to find - in locaiitiea. wnere i everybody -moves about ih; the saddle.. Many : men there, who ride all the time, seem to have acquired the trick of breaking every commandment in the dialogue of equitation. Using horses as a mere means of transportation seems sometime to reduce . the steed to . a .simple beast of burden and equestri anism to tne oaia ability to sit in " a saddle as you would in an ox cart I think I have seen more graceful uestnennes in tne south, than any- wnere else than even in England. Although the Southern woman refuse to ride . the trot, she has a proper substitute for it, and her sea is gen-. erally admirable. Though 1 greatly admire a square trot well ridden in !a aldesaddle, it is really the rise on this gate which: makes bo many crooked femal riders;; among -ourselves and our British cousins. This ought not to be soj but ladies are apt to resent too much severity.: in instructions and without strict obedience to her master a lady never learns to ride gracefully and stoutly. r In the south ladies ride habitually, and moreover, a rack, einelefoot and canter are not only gracefuljbut straight sitting pace ior a woman. . , -, - Of Interest to.

Mr..
