C MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1804 Till: VAI.l K OF A Kit; COItN CKOP TO THE SOUTH. The Manufacturers' Record believes that one of the greatest blcssinirs that has ever befallen the south is the low price of cotton during the last two years. Contrary to the opinion of those who think that the eouth's prosperity would be enhanced by higher prices foremen this feason, the Manufacturers' Record believes that 1) or 10 cent- for cotton would ultimately prove a disaster to the whole south The low prices of recent years have forced the farmers of the wmili into divrrsifw d apiculture forced Hum to abandon coiton its their ' nly crop, and to rai-e their corn and food stuffs at home. The net result, of such a policy as this is to vastly enhance the permanent prosperity of the south, al though for the time being it may de crease the amount of money expended by southern planters. Cotton at 10 cents for the present crop would mean great activity in mercantile circles, and for the next twelve months an apparent remark able prosperity ; but 10 cent cotton would mean that next year the farmers would abandon their efTerts to raise corn and give their whole attention to cotton. Without regard to the fact that the south must, by virtue of foreign compe tion, abandon all expectations of ever selling cotton for high prices again, ex cept in occasional periods of short crops, no greater disaster could befall the south than to have the present tendency to di versified agriculture changed before it has become firmly established on the part of all southern farmers. At the recent annual meeting of the Young Men's Business league of Augusta, President Lamar mu-'e some statements on this subject which should be studied by every man having the welfare of the south at heart. "At bottom," said Mr. Lamar, "the problem which we of the south have to solve is to live at home. It is no less the duty of those who live in cities than those who live in the country. Those of us in cities cannot do it in what we raise out of the ground, but, like the farmer, we are to look for ultimate pros perity in making more than we spend If a man spends more thau he makes he draws on capital until bankruptcy re suits. If a city or a section spends more than it makes, the same result follows. Cotton at '20 cents a pound would bring less prosperity to the people who consume more than it sells for, in buying corn and bacon, which are destroyed in their use, than cotton at ! cents by people who have no meat or c "rn to buy. If the cotton money were used to buy articles that added to wealth, the disaster would not be so suddon and so inevitable; but ar the end of twelve months we have nor a pound of bacon or a grain of corn or a ton of hay to show for all th cotto-i we have sold. This i repetition." siM Mr. Lamar, "but it important enough n bear iteration and r iteration until we ae alarnn d into the necessity of a change. Augusta sell- over l,0't.J,oOi) worth of bacon a year; it handle between ooo,. 0 HI and rf;.(Ki.0v.M war'h of c tton every yeir. Oae-lifih of the money paid for cotton goes out for ba.;op a!. oh-. If we could S'ive our meat bill one year monev would be plentiful; but if we sd 1 to bacon the money spent for corn, for flour, for hav.for oats, for a thousand things produced elsewiioie. the matvei is that we are able to stand the drain ui all. Any country that can stand such a drain must have marvelous resources We have stood it without fully rea'i.i:i how much it has sapped our prosperity, but if we keep the millions here that are now paid for these outside products it would only be a period of two or three years before we should have prosperity beyond anything that we have ever known. Our meat bill for one year would double the actual cash in this cit.v. Oae year's sav ing of our foreign-bought corn, hay, oats and meat would make money a drug in markets." The facts so forcibly stated by Mr. Lamar haye often been commented upou by the Manufacturers' Record. They cannot be too often pressed upon the at tention of every man concerned as to the south's progress and prosperity. Fortu nately the south has this year been Lk-sted with an abundant corn crop. Its corn will exceed ia value its cotton crop, and it will do more to increase the solid growth of the south than even cotton at 20 cents a pound would do The south and its agricultural interests are on solid ground. Bright, indeed, will be the future if its farmers can only be induced to con tinue the policy of the last two years of raising their own food supplies. High priced cotton would almost inevitably bring about a change, and so the Manu facturers' Record believes that its cotton is not commanding high prices. In the earliest times of purchase a wo man was bartered for useful goods or fer services rendered to her father. In the latter way Jacob purchased Rachel and her sis;er Leah. This was a Beena mar riage, where a man, as in Genesis, leaves his father and his mother and cleayes unto his wife and they become one llesh or kin the woman's. The price eif a bride in British Columbia and Vancouver Island varies from 20 to 40 worth of articles. In Oregon an Indian gives for a wife horses, blankets or buffalo robes; in California, shell money or horses; in Afiica, cattle. A poor Damarn will sell a daughter for one cow ; a richer Kallir expects from three? to thirty. With the Banyai, if nothing be given, her family claim her children. In Uganda, where no marriage recently exis'ed, she may be obtained for half a dozen needles, or a coat, or a pair of shoes. An oidinary price is a box of pen ussion cups. In other parts, a goat or a couple of buck skins will buy a girl. Passing to Asia, we find her price is sometimes live to fifty roubles, or at others, a cartload of wood or hay. A princess may be pur chased-fcor three thousand roubles In Tartary, a woman can be obtaine d fe r a few pDunds of butter, or where a rich man gives twenty small oxen a poor man may succeed with a pig. In Fiji, her equivalent is a whale's tooth or a musket. These, and similar prices elsewhere, are eloquent testimony to the little yalue a savage sets on his wife. An astonishingly brilliant, savage, san guiuary romance of robbery on the high seas, which leads at once to a series of adventures rushing like a whirlwind un til the final pages, bears the title "The Sea Wolves," and it is published this week in Harper's Franklin Square Li brary. The author is May Pemberton. It would be difficult to recall so vivid a tale, strictly the brine and bloodshed va riety, since "Treasure Island " The scene is the sea between Sheerness and Ferrol (Spain). There can be only com meudation of the style, for that is simple and direct ; but the question is whether the tale be not too vehement whether a romantic story of adventure can have the merit of enthralling interest even in ex cess. It is certainly no common instance of bold story telling. Tom Set tie is confident that he cannot be beaten fairly in the coming election. Tom, my boy, wait until the uh and you will have your eyes opened. Gus Gra ham will show you something, Washington Letter. From Thk Gu)BK Correspondent W.siuN(;TON,Sept.20. The chief topic of conversation here is the rcci.p'.ure in New York of Captaia Howgate the em bezzling executive officer of the signal corps after thirteen years of successful hiding. It was always said here that it would hav e been no difficult matter to find him but there was little desire to do so on account of unpleasant develop meats concerning prominent persons that might result. Druannond the republ caii ex chief of the secret service, who finally effected the capture lias been professedly working on the case for vears. Last year he was asked to resign in favor of a democrat but legg-'d to be retained on account of his probable early success in finding the defaulter. It seemed, how ever, that he was goin to use this argu meat for retention indefinitely anj he was displaced last February. When his successor took charge he found that all the Howgate papers wtr; missing and Mr Drummond will be called on to ex plain why he did not leave these papers on file. Howgate will probibly be brought here from New York on Moii day. Presideut Taylor of Wake Forest col lege stopped in the city this week to tee his son, who is living here. He was on his way to New York. General W. R. Cox has returned to North Carolina, leaving behind his two sons, who will enter school here on Men day. Cadet Worth Bagley of Raleigh, has been appointed chief petty officer of the naval cadet battalion at Annappolis. 'AN ABORFgINAL'S LAMENT. The Sorrowful Meditation of an Old Pot tawatomie. O, Great Master, the pale face comes and the red man is driven from the face of the earth! The land that va ours is gone from us and the rocks are our bed and the leaves our cover. We sigh in vain for yesterday, v have no hope, no comfort for to-morrow. All our greatness is g-one and the red man's days are but few. I return to the land of my fathers. I graze on the placid river. O. that I might elie and sleep here where the great Waubonsie breathed the air, be neath the same trees which have shel tered hirn. U, where are the friends of my father? Where i the war chief. Wau bonsie? Here I stand where my tribe once roamed, but no vest is-. of the powerful Pottawatomies remain. The lake and the river on which my canoe was wont to glide knows not the dip of the red skin's paddle. Where once I moored my canoe to the shore now the great steamer is at anchor anel the dip of my paelelle is heard no more forever. Here the Kickapoos caught the great fish which weighed nigh to the half hundred and now the pale face gathers in the half pound infant of the deep and calls it game. Alas, (), my Master, I sigh for those golden days but they are no more. No more eloes the Hint tipped arrow fell the deer and the woodland resounds no more with his bounding footsteps. Upon the brink of the flowing river comes the gentle bovine in his stead. The majesty of nature is dwarfed and humbled in the march of the white man, and on his trail is naught but nature's ruin. I gaze em the camp of the white man and hear him call it Chicago. O. Xau-nee-bo-zho forgive; the cruel white man for destroying the peacv of the great Shaubanee. Here I seek in vain for the wigwam of my sire and find in its place the school hou.-e- of the white man. Here I turn to tin; spot where the great chief held his councils and where tho pipe of peace was smoked by the great warriors and find a temple of the city. The Lriek walls rise on the Mot where the deerskin wns sprcitd and the great trees have been taken away. The; memories of the red man have been buried beneath the white man's ax and trowel. Here where the great Waabo.i-de held council with the peace thief: here where the .Mascoutins and the Winin bagoes assembled in op.?i .-.ition to the great lilac.k Hawk, now the pale faced chief, the; mayor, oathers his peace; warriors about him, anel re solves to despoil the land of the red man. O, great is the work of the pale face; great is the civilizing inlluence ef the usurper. Why de we suffer ourselves to be banished from the land the Great Mas ter gave us? Is it for the treachery of Naunemgee or the murders ef Red P.ird? Where the trail ran to the great lake on which my fathers floated their canoes anel shot the wilel fowl; the lake which we knew as the "Big Foot," now runs the iron rail anel the pale faces which inhabit the groves of my ances tors go thither but they call it the lake of Geneva. O, memories of Kishkau kon, wherefore are the ielolsof my sires so shattereel? All about me is elesola tion and I turn from the scene which I sought, to return to the land of the set ting sun, elriven thence by the remorse less usurpers. The pale face has no love for our memories and our tradi tions he regardeth not. O, sad is the heart of the red man! Where I wooed my sepuaw I now be hold the home of the law chief who knows not the word of justice. On the same swamp where my pappoese pad dled is now the high temple and the homes of the pale faces. Memories of the chase are swept from my minel.as I behold the works of the despoiler anel the dealings of the eles pot. Where the war elance maele the air ring I now hear the brass banel playing "McGinty" and the tolling of the bells in the towers tell of the eleparture of the red man. who worshipped the Great Master in the quiet groves where the sky and the trees were not shut out. To the reel man nature was the high est art, and as I sat in my canoe with Okcmos and my little pappoose. float ing between the green banks, over the silvery waves, I saw the Great Master in- everything. There was no black smoke, no walls anel fences to mar the beautiful land which the Great Master gave to the red man. (), gone are the days of my youth and the memories of my sires, and the beau ties of our bountiful lanel are forever buried under the spade and the plow, the hammer and the wheel. 1 wrap my blanket about me and go my way. Sly fathers and myself are forgotten and the lanel of our liberty shall know of us never atrain. Arkan sa w I raveler. Indians Tracking. It was a most strange anel interesting experience to see the Indian read all the si-ns of the different animals in the grass or among the woods with the same eae as we read an open book. Tin least disarrangement in tiie grass or sticks, however small, was enough. Hancing casually at it in passing, he would say: "Hear, a week old.' "Yes terday." "Deer, this mornin"-."' "Verv eld." "Caribou, last month," and so on. It was wonderful to behold this instinct in a man. I had for a long time leen following this trail of the moe. which I thought was a fresh trail, when I got sick of it. and began to crs examine Mr. I.ig Partridge as to how far off our quarry was likely to le. Mig Partridge then showed that he was sick of the imaginary mooe hunt himself, and owned up. "Old trail, all moose nipoh" that is, dead. He had only been leading me about in this way to amuse me. knowing it use less the whole time! He exacted two dollars and a half for that day's sport. Blackwood's Magazine. Adm.
