JOINED WITH THEIR IDOLS In an'article discussing the character and condition of the present cotton crop in the Southern States, the New Orleans Picayune of the 11th instant, says: "During last week several very important official and semi-official re ports on the condition of the cotton crop were made public. The most important of these wete the acreage report of the New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle,' an authority of high standing, and the acreage and condition report of the Agricultural Department. In addition, there weie issued reports on the condition of the Texas crop by two influential journals of that State. "In the matter of acreage there is a singular unanimity shown by the . reports. Thus the Chronicle makes the increase in acreage for the entire cotton belt only 2.06 per cent., and the increase in the Texas acreage 8 per cent. The Agricultural Depart ment makes the increase in acreage for the entire belt 6 10 of 1 per cenU, and the increase in the Texas acreage 7 per cent. The t wo Texas journals referred to make the increase in acreage in that State from 7 to 10 per cent. Both the Chronicle and Agri cultural Department indicate a de crease in acreage on the Atlantic coast and in Tennessee, and both agree in claiming that the condition of the crop is better than it was at the same date last year. This unusual unani mity of opinion ought to leave little doubt in the mind of the average citizen on the subject of the growing cotton crop. As far as acreage is concerned, it is apparent that there has been but a nominal increase, the larger acreage planted in Texas, Ar kansas, and other States being offset, to a very large extent, by a decrease in acreage on the Atlantic coast and elsewhere." "This makes it pretty clear that the Southern farmers have learned nothing by experience or precept, "and that neither the low prices of the past year nor the urgent advice and importunity of their leading men have influenced them at all in the direction of a wiser agricultural policy With cotton selling at only a fraction over seven cents, per pound hardly covering the cost . of production they are going straight ahead, increasing rather than curtailing their crops, and bidding, as it: were, for a repetition of disaster. Instead of producing their own forage and provisions, thereby surrounding themselves with, plenty, and plantiug cotton only as a surplus for purposes of pocket inoney they cling to the futile and discredited system of the past and risk their all on cotton. We shall thus have another crop next winter of eight or nine millions of bales more than the world wants or will take at remunerative prices. The South would be the most pros pcrous agricultural region in the world under a system of diversified farming and with a co'.ton output of not more than five millions of bales. The farm ers would then have a plenty to eat, they would have herds of well-fed stock and the cotton they marketed would furnish them with more ready money much more than they have to-day. It seems however, that they must go through a little more hard ship and arrive at a mors perfect harmony of sentiment and action, before the consummation in question can be reached. --Washington Pot. CANNOT BE FORCED. Ex-Speaker Thomas 11- Uced has been interviewed for a London roaga zine, which reports him as advocating a ireer use oi silver ana suggesting that an agreement be made among the nations to use silver, discriminat ting tariff rates to be instituted against those powers or nations which will not consent to use it more largely than now. It is probable that Mr. Reed simply wishes to arrest the atten tion of the British public and cause them to consider the advisability of retreatinjz Irom their present gold monometallism, but had no idea of this country enforcing a threat. If he has any such notion or thinks it would pay this country to make such a discrimination against Great Britain in case it refuses to do as he suggests he is widely in the wrong. The position, if intended seiiously, must be denounced as impracticable It would cut both ways, and perhaps cut us ihe more deeply of the two. During each of many years we have sold to England much more products than we have bought from that country, and it is a more important market to us than the United States is to England. Besides, the Britishers could supply themselves with bread stuffs and meats from other sources, if our contributions were cut off, though they might have to pay a little more for them, and eyen would ta"ke our produce in a roundabout way through other countries We could not afford to fight the law of supply and demand for food, and Mr. Bland is correct in saying that the great agricultural classes of this country never will consent to a tariff war that would close the markets of Europe to our agricultural products. But Bland talks utter nonsense in saying relative to Mr- Reed's remarks that "if the United States will coin silver this country will force England and other foreign countries to recog nize silver,'' because the English "must sell us their goods, and if we insist, on offering their silyer it will soon become their interest to make silver valuable.". By this he means that if we coin 50 cents' worth of silver into a coin called a dollar and ma ke that! our money of ultimate re demption, the British merchant will be compelled to accept it at twice its intrinsic value. English ; merchants will pay us in silver at its bullion value for all the produce they buy from us, if we want to take pay in that meta1, and willingly would ship us all the surplus silyer bullion of the world on the same terms; There never has been a time since' 181 (J that the Eng list) would j not pay us for everything we had to sell in silver at its full market value, or would not take silver from us at its full market value ;n payment for their goods- At one time they would'give us as much fol low ounces of silver as we considered to be worth 1G ounces and now wou:d take take ! all of our COO -nillions of silver, with all we could get from Mexico, if we would take their goods in payment. The rate at which they would take that silver ; would be measured by what they could get for it. They reckon the value of their goods by the gold standard and will take for them as much of the money as any other country on the face of the earth as will buy the amount of gold they count their goods to be worth. If they knew that the United States Government stood ready to redeem in gold at their face value our silver coins they would take them at the said face' value, minus the cost of transportation to the place of redemp tion, but if no such redemption in gold were provided they would take our silver coins only at their com mercial value in gold by prectsely the same rule; that they now receive our gold coins strictly a, their bullion value. No law passed ov the United States could change this and no inter national agreement conld force a British merchant to sell his goods for less than lie rateel them to be worth, whether the money of account were gold or silver, copper, nickle, or joine other metal his rating of what the coins - were worth'would be by refer ence to what he could buy: with those coins.

The story is told in Vogue of a French comedian who, upon the occa sion of bis first, appearance at ahe Comel ie F-ancaise, established his family of eight" children in the front row of the balcony, after instructing them that they should 'cry out gleefully upon his entrance," which instructions they carried out faithfully, exclaiming" with as one voice. '-Bravo, papa!" . "flow are the fish biting now, Uncle Bill?" asked Jack of the old guide. "Same way as usual, sonny, ' said theold man. "With! their mouths." "Well.

C. - i Isbell of that state, as he chatted with acquaintances in the corridor of.. the. Lindell. "I remember one-ot them whowas particularly a curiosity. He had never seen a town as large as Madison in his life and the state house was a constant revelation to him: On the day of the legislature a page brought in a bottle of ink and a bottle of mucilage for each desk. The latter was a curiosity to the back- wbodsman. 'M-uc 'muck.' 'i' i,' 'la-g'-e' 'lage.' he spelled out 'muckilage.' 'What's that fur?' calling to his seatmate. 'To eat,' was the sententious reply. Nothing further was heard of the new legislator until the next morning, when he called the page and handingj him the empty battle, said: Git me some more. 1 like some things better, but its kinder sweet. It's too sticky, though. Hev to drink a heap of water to git it all swallowed but 1 reckon 1 km git along with it Dont seem to be nothin else to eat here, 'thout goin' cl'ar back to the boardin' house, an' not much thar." St. Louis Glooe Democrat. FOR THE FARMER. in staking trees much damage may be avoided by using strips of leather or duck to tie the tree to the stake, rather thanNto use a cord. Tall, slen der trees, especially, need staking and tying. 1 When the stock is infested with lice it indicates a low j condition. Fat, healthy, well fed animals are seldom lniestea wan lice. ! w nen lice are found on animals there is a probapility also that they may become diseased. Filth, lice and disease are always found i - together. j Keeping the stable clean in the sum mer is as importantj as any work on the farm. In the j winter the cold scales up the odors, but.in summer all substances m the stable decompose very rapidly gases being formed that are injurious to the health of the stock. - The value of a garden does not depend on what the crops may bring in the market, but upon how much such vegetables would cost for a family if they were bought. 1 he best market for garden crops is at home, on the farmer's table. jThe fanner who will buy his vegetables and small fruit when he can raise them pays twice as much for his luxuries as he should. Gapes in chicks are caused by min Ute thread like worms, which cluster in the windpipe. The difficulty pre vails mostly -on soil that has long been occupied by poultry. ' They may be drawn from the windpipe by using the tip of a feather, inserting it in the windpipe, twisting it. and quickly withdrawing it: but this is unreliable if performed by inexperienced persons. The ordinary remedy is to give each chick one or two! drops of spirits turpentine on a bread crumb. Dust air-slaked lime thoroughly over the runs occupied by the chicks. It is in shipping the hens to market that the greater loss occurs.
