A few days ago a female balloonist
up North somewhere was killed be
cause the parachute, didn't work.
She fell from a great height, struck
on her head and never knew what
hurt her. A few days afterwards a
young man in Ohio met the same
fate, and yet this suicidal parachute
business goes on to- amuse people
and put dimes in the pockets of - the
foolhardy who risk them for what
they make. There' is no good and
no sense in exhibitions of that kind.

Letters come by the bushel, but as

An Old Shed .: and t Lot of Shingle
' ..- - joined. .
v Fire broke out about 1 o'clock yester
day afternoon on the roof of aa old shed
on the west side'of.the river opposite.
Mulberry street There were some fifteen
or twenty thousand shingles in the build
ing and these with the shed were, soon
consumed. The buildiog .was property
of the New Hanover Bank: It was old
and practically: worthless, over half Jpf It
having blown down some time agO.Tfie
shingles belonged to Capt R. W. Gibson,
who estimates his loss at about $200,
with no insurance; The fire is .said to
have been caused Vsparks front the
furnace of a pile driver at work near the.
sshed..;. -- v -; p.; ,.-. .riK
There was a strpng breeze from the
north that sent sparks and ; cinders
whirling through the air. and some of
these falling on the roofs of two small
dilapidated: houses on the causeway
caused their destruction. . .
The Fire Department, in response to
the alarm, was early at the 'river side.
Chief Newman procured a lighter, on
which the fire steamer t"Atlantic" was
carried across by the tug Navassa, . &nd
was soon at work preventing the spread
of the flames. The tug Marion also
did good ssrvice in this direction.
The pile-driver, which caused the
conflagration, was ignited by-sparks, but
was towed away by the tug Anna and
the fire put out. The coal yard of the
Champion Compress Co., was in danger
but successfully guarded by a stream
from the tug Marion.

V . fHE HORSE AND HlS RIDERS
The announcement of - the coming of
Col, Wm. F. Cody and his great Wild
West and Congress of Rough Riders of
the World, is something deserving the
attention of our. public more particu
larly than the ordinary perennial visit
ing exhibition. . There "arfe innumerable
affairs and subjects that; come and go,
and repeat the same; year in and year
out;.but past experience proves that the
field of this colossal exhibition is so large
that the assertion" of the management
that its visits are few and' far between,
can be adjudged as true. For eight
years it has not revisited any one of -the
larger cities, excepting London, and only
owing to the demand for it in all coun
tries and in all' climes, as its dioramic
nature renders it pleasing and instructive
to all tongues and all countries.
; We would impress upon our readers
that the opportunity should ' not be let
passed by, as there is no telling when
the Wild West will return, il ever, as its
component parts are of such a uature,
and dependent so .much upon the cir
cumstances; and the unofficial assistance
of nine" great governments, that the
slightest upheaval in the status of
"peace on earth, good will to men,"
could interfere in the collection again of
such a notable assemblage. . After con
quering two continents with the Ameri
can contingent of native horsemanship,
.the Indian scout and cowboy, the man
agement have added renewed life to the
subject of primitive man and .natural
equestrianism by bringing together all
the nomadic horemen of the world, and
adding to them military civilization on
horseback.
People willsee here Union detach
ments of Uncle Sam's cavalry, which is
a rare a sight as it will be a patriotic
one. to see these Defenders of the Flag
dash on the scene to the inspiring tune
of "Yankee Doodel." and holding the
Bright banner of the free "Old Glory."
to the front, in amicable alliance with
the flags of all other nations. French,
German and English Cavalrymen will
also present a novelty which will be of
interest to the readers of books, the
viewers of paintings and illustrations,
and the peruser of history in the mili
tary line that every day threatens to be
a factor in the history of our time. - The
Arab. Cossack, Tartar, Indian. Cowboy.
the Vaqueros and Gauchos are rare
subiects known in song and story, but
never before brought together on one
spot. The whole will form a sight that
may never be seen again, and most as
suredly has never been seen before.
The lirge organization is backed by
the experience, wealth and fame of Mr.
Nate Salsburv, Mr. James A. Bailey, of
the Barnum &, Bailey Show, and Col.
Wm. F. Cody, which alone is a trade
mark that justifies the estimation in
which the subject is held by all.
. On this occasion the details will be
attended to by an auxiliary corps so
large as to insure every detail of per
sonal comfort and convenience to the
auditor to view the entertainment in the
same - manner as London, New York,
Paris and the Chicago World's Fair,
and on the same magnificent magni
tude of style. No more can be said to
enhance the interest that the subject
should naturally arouse.

Cotton Movement.
We have received from Messrs. La
tham, Alexander & Co., 16 and 18 Wall
street. New York, the twenty-second an
nual edition of Cotton Movement and
fluctuations, 1890 to 1895. This isa
most valuable compilation of statistics
relating to the, cotton trade, including
several articles of great interest, among
them "Cotton Trade of India" by Mr.
Tubs. Ellison, and "Cotton Manutactur-v
ing Interests of the South " by Mr. Rich
ard H. Edmunds. The volume for 1895
is in ' illuminated style uniform with
former editions. :
Tho Wisdom of Bednoed Cotton Acreage
The Advice of the IfewiBapera Was
Wlae About Next Tear,
The wisdom of reduced cotton acre
age and increased provision crops, says
the Augusta Chronicle is fully vindi
cated by the experience oi the Southern
farmers this year. A big corn crop and
an increased meat crop provide full
barns and smoke houses, while the short
cotton crop makes the cotton that has
been raised brine; prices that are profita
ble to the farmer. He has raised at home
nearly everything he needs m the way of
provisions, and he has the proceeds of
cotton to buy clothes, furniture, and the
comforts of home.
Taking 6 cents a pound as the average
cost of production,.the New York Jour
nal of Commerce estimates that the
Southern farmers realized about $3 a
bale profit on last year's crop, and adds:
"Whatever variations future develope-
ments may make in the items used in
this computation, it is nearly certain that
the crop of the current year will brine
in no less money than the huge crop of
last year, and will probably bring in
more; that it will cost more than $40,
000,000 less than the last crop, and that
instead of barely covering the cost of
production there will be a comfortable
profit for the planters. The lesson to
the South is to raise no more cotton
than there is a good market for, and, in
cidentally, to raise its own corn and pork
instead of buying them out ot tne pro
ceeds of the cotton sales, a system which
tempts each planter to raise more cot
ton in-order to meet his bill at the fac
tor's." Again the advice of the newspapers
has been proven wise, and though the
farmers have for many years ridiculed
"those fellows who farm in the news
papers," they are forced to admit that
had they taken ten years ago the adyice
of the newspapers and raised at home all
the provision crops that were needed in
stead of buying from the West, the
Southern farmer would have been more
independent to-day. Circumstances of
dire necessity forced our farmers to do
what the newspapers have long been
urging them to do, and the result
proves the wisdom of the editorial ad
vice. Now, let -the newspapers begin at
once' to advise the Southern farmer
against being carried away by the im
proved price of cotton, and induced to
spoil it all, by returning next year to the
all cotton' crop. A ten million bale
crop , this year -would have continued
five cent cotton, and a ten million crop
next year will return to it. Let discre
tion control the action of cotton plan
ters. It is to a short crop they are due
for better prices this year; let them not
kill the goose that laid the golden egg
by making more cotton next year than
the world needs.
