Market Letter on Cotton.:
By private wire, JLE Latham k Co.
.- New York, December 15. Memphis
reports s rain fall of over 4 Inches today.
In any number of -places the weather
was such as to make, a free movement
out of the question for some time tc
come. , It was not surprising therefore,
that prices' made another high (ouch
with March ever 8.30, most all day. In
fact It Is nothing but obstinacy of the
market that prevents prices advancing.
Had any one suggested to us' that the
movement , could run Jiehind. 100,000
bales In a week, and promise to lose
most of the excess over last year, I we
would have conditions Ignorant of the
market, but here We are Just doing that
ana yet prioea fan to advance much.
What Inducement la there to buy or sell
Id a market of this kind ? We don't
know when the movement will pick up.
Just when the last short is covered and
everything looks like a straight sway
market receipts are likely to increase
and the whole .thing collapse. This will
be true if two things are true. . First,
unless the Government has for the first
time In Its history overestimated the
crop, the commercial figures are likely
to be at least 10,800,000 and this will
mean a larger movement soon. Second
If the average estimate is not going to
break all records by coming out of line
at the final out-tarn, there Is likely to hf
about eleven million bales in sight. Thli
will mesn an Increase pretty soon. 01'
course tt may be swsy off this year and
all our reasononlng Is valueless. If
prices advance and shorts cover gener
ally , what Is going to hold the market
when the movement gets larger f For
tbe time being we look for higher prices,
but we would take adv--i cf I ,'-e
to sell long cotton and 1 ? ) not

AshevIJle Cltisen, Dee, 6th. -
No writer has ever so unmercifully"
uncovered the errors and mistakes of
the Christian Boientlsta as has Mark
Twain. ; Yet the great American humor
let is hot the kind of nan who can
only : see one aide of a . question . or
cannot recognise some good in Texy-
thlng. i-ui i vipr---
In the Cosmopolitan; magazine , about
two years ago he wrote a most scath
ing satire on Christian Science,' showing
the ridiculousness of some of Its claims
and the silly conclusions to which
even well-founded principle can be car
ried.- -
In the iortb American Review for
December, however, .he has sometMag
to uy on the other side of the questaen.
He writes' :; ' -.-: .'."v - .
"And who are attracted hy Chrlstfan
Science! There Is no limit; Its field is
horiaonless; its appeal Is as universal as
i the appeal of Christianity Itself. It
appeals to the rich, the poor, the high,
the low, tbe cultured, the Ignorant, the
gifted, the stupid, the modest, lb vain,
the wise, the silly, the soldier, the Iv-

WORKING IN THE DARK.
nhMfnti of MlmlBSr Before tbe
Oavr Lmis Waa lit.
The difficulties under which coal
mlnlnsT oreratlona were carried on be
fore the scientist Davy had Invented his
safety lamn must have been very great
In many times the only alternative the
medieeval miner had to pitch darkness
was the phosphorescent gleam from
dried fish. The miner's implements,
orlclnally of stone or hard oak, gradu
ally Improved, but he wns forced to
work In almost complete darkness jnntfl
Sir Humphry Davy by his remarkaDie
Invention enabled him to light hla way
through the tunnels he had excavated
with comparative safety.
Agricola, an author who wrote about
the middle of the sixteenth century,
has left an elaborate treatise on coal
mlnine as it wn practiced during the
middle ages. From this we learn that
the horse gin, which survives to the
present day In some of the mining dis
tricts of Great Britain and northern
Europe, was the engine chiefly em
ployed both for lifting the coal and.for
getting rid of the water. This latter
object was also sometimes effected by
means of pumps turned by windmills
or by tunnels driven with great labor
to an outlet at a lower level.
Tomb of tbe Ancient Prophet.
There exist in parts of Islam many
tomba of the prophet Daniel. Of these
one of the most celebrated is at Cairo.
This fact need not astonish us. The
Mussulmans admit without hesitation
the duplication or even indefinite mul
tiplication of the bodies of holy per
sons without their veneration for each
of the remains being diminished in the
least. It is worth noting that the na
ture of the honorary qualifications ac
corded to the same saint varies In dif
ferent countries. Thus, for example,
Daniel haa at Cairo the name of Neb-bi-Daniel
that is, they give him the
title of prophet as being at the same
time that which suits him best and U
Che most honorable they can confer, Iij
Alserla or Morocco feudal countries
the title they Eive to saints is sidl.
which signifies lord, which Is alsd the
title there of military and political
chiefs. In central Asia they give to
those canonized persons whom they re
