COTTON NO LONGER KING. i STATE OF MISSISSIPPI. An Interesting lie view by Gen. .Stephen D. Lee of the Progress Made in iireakinjj Up the All-Cotton Idea?Promise for the Near Future. (Ifanhington Lrtter to the Xnc York Star.) Gen. Stephen D. Lee, president of j the Agricultural and Mechanical Col-, lege of Mississippi, has been in j the city a few days. Your corres- j pondent, knowing that Mississippi has , taken the lead among the Southern [ States in an organized movement of j redemption from the cotton specialty? f the fetich of the one crop idea?and ! that Gen. Lee, as the head ot the | - * 1 ' - *1. ? trrtnM 1 macmnerv ui mai uiyttnnm, u>? be eminently qualified to speak of its achievements and its prospects, called 0:1 him at, the Ebbitt JLIou>e. Gen. Lee was enthusiastic over the outlook for his adopted State, and readily responded to all interrogatories. The following is a verbatim report of bis remarks: "A revolution is going on in Mississippi in diversifying her industries, especially in the line of agriculture. Heretofore, and even now, the farming interests are mainly in the raisiug ot cotton and corn, which have restricted he? people to the incubus of the one j crop?leading to soil exhaustion and 1 money receipts mainly at one season of; the year. Manv intelligent citizens, j however, have long since abandoned 1 cotton, and it is now known that | Mississippi is soon destined to be one 1 of the leading States in stock and dairy | tanning. These gentlemen have detn- j onstrated that the native grasses, such ! as Bermuda, Japan clover, Johnson grass., crab jjrass and other kinds, j supplemented with the varieties of j sorghum?or, as known in its deterior- j ated shape?chicken corn, afibrd as j great a variety ot tood for stock, and j of a permanent character, as is given | in any State. It is known, too, that \ cotton seed is the most valuable food j for cattle, and combined with the j grasses affords better and cheaper food j than can be had anvwhere else. It is j 'a fact that cattle in Mississippi have i not been fed until of late years. They I made their own living on the common-,; subsisting on such i rass and food as j the country afforded, even in winter, i It is true they usually <rot poor during | the three months of December, Jan- j uary and February; but in the remain- j ' ing nine months they had ample ioocl I in grazing, the gra?s affording good j grazing from about March 1 (at which i time corn is planted) to December 15. j In other words, stock is handled readily throughout the year by feeding: them only two and a half or three I months, with which slight attention j they are kept in good fix. Is it strange, | then, that Mississippi is a stock State, j when at the North leeding is necessary i for four or six months? Ensilage also j is easily prepared and successfully fed j to ?tock in Mississippi. Among the I * * ?- "? - xr :.J" * i.: , gentlemen wno nuve ieu uu iu uu? > important industry may be mentioned i Col. W. B. Montgomery, of Stark villi-, 1 who has a herd of over two hundred I registered Jersey cows. In the same | section, or northeast portion of the State, may be mentioned Col. Col. H. Muldrow, assistant secretary of the interior, John Allen, M. O. Winston i Garth, Mr. Abbott, Judge Houston, j "Yfufr Yfohrtrnpi* isnrl nthers. ('ol. White. ! of Hernando, Col. Heramingway, Mr. I O. Deneal, otJackson, and Col.Stuart, j on the Gnlf coast. Id fact there isjjyJ portion of {he State that-is not s.auably -? tor stock of some kind "Along" ti?e?oa%t^* southern tiers ofi counties south of Meridian and the Vicksbnrg Railroad sheep are raised with great ease, and the recent Mississippi exhibit gotten up by Major S. A. Jonas (interior department) demonstrated that Mississippi had as tine wool as could be found in the United States. Market gardening is success-1 fully carried on throughout the State, and the railroads are now furnishing refrigerator cars fur sending vegetables and fruits to St. Louis, Chicago and other cities. Around Madison Station are ma:.v hundreds of acres of strawberries, and Dr. II. E. MuCay, from his great success in handling and shipping this fruit, is known as the "Strawberry King." South of Jackson and along the Illinois Central Railroad is a great vegetable a id fruit region. Large shipments of peaches, tomatoes, cabbages, beans, &c., are made every year. The Jumoer ousmess 01 missis- i sippi is very great. The State as yet has almost an inexhaustible supply of as good timber <:s is found in the j world, and these valuable forests are j now being bought up by lumber men. } The extensive buildings for the Cotton i Centennial Exposition at New Orleans were made of Mississippi pine. The timber exhibit of the State at the Exposition attracted great attention. A; great impetus has be<.*n given to diversifying the industries of the State by the establishment six years ago of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi a Stockville. This insti: tutiontis a genuine agricultural college, and is conducted bv an able board -;f trustees and faculty loyal to the agricultural interests of "the State. It has had an average annual attendance of 300 Students. Duringthepresent session 415 students have attended and over 300 were refused for lack of acccommodations. The college was located on a farm of 1,700 acres of forw} mncli r\f it jTittflf* jirwjr hv enn- i iuuvu v i * v |/w. v . | tinuous cultivation of cotton and corn. In a few years the farm has been brought up to a high state of cultivation, demonstrating that improved methods $nd a diversity of crops are peculiarly adapted to the South. By introducing the stock feature the poorest lands afford ample and good grazing for more th-n nine months in the year, and the best lands are jrivin^ remunerative returns in the different crops planted. The college is building up a fine-grade herd of the different breads; has now forty-five head of pure-bred eaitle, j Hoistein, Devon, Galloway, Hueford, j Jersey, &c., 150 grades, 1*00 common j cows, &c., over three hundred head in j all T.oct .Tn 11 a a cii'ampiT snri rliarv i was established, worked entirely by | students. A De L-val separator was j procured, The experiment proved a j great success, and now, in less than a j year siace its establishment, (it was j the first,) there are going up twenty creameries in different portions of the { State?at Meridian, Aberdeen, Macon, i Edwares Depot and other points. It! has been clearly demonstrated that the ! bugbear of "climatic conditions*' does j not exist and that the "dairy belt" ha* ' disappeared; that a ?ncces>ful cream j erv can be run in Mississippi as well as ill luwa ur itiiuuigaii ui ii>niui?. j Last July and Ansjnst, immediately j after starting, 175 pounds of butter were shipped daily to Now Orleans, j Mobile, Vicksburg. Memphis, &c., and ! the collpofe has never been able to i c?i..r>K- mio.flffh r.f the dpmand marl-"' on it for butter. By June the milk of j 600 cows will be handled at the college ! creamery. The butter is put on the ; market fresh, and commands a better: pricethan "Elgin, 111., butter." These i creamerieg can be pnt up in Mississippi at an expense of from $1,200 to $2,000. Smaller creameries are now being put up at less cost and tor individual use, I as separators are being offered at re - - - ' ---- + 1.- T\ . ! aucea prices or lower man mu l'lLeval. Il is seen, then, J hat a creamery put up at the college lias introduced a new industry in the State.: Besides the stock (cature, so successtally and ofhciaHy demonstrated, the .college is also cultivating large orchards of fruits. Over .0,000 fruit irees are coming on* iwuuly uvu ui strawberries and other fruits, large and >ma!l, Vegetable, ?S:c. Ttie college is liberally supported by the St.-ue, receiving from $30,000 to $40,0(K) a year. It cannot accommodate all the students desiring to attend. The commencement occasions have usually from 2,0U0 lo 3,0U0 visitors from all portions of the Suite. It is doing a grand work, and has demonstrated that Mississippi can be made as ^rreat a success as a cattle and fruit Q i-nt.'rtii Stuff lh?t tfuifl for cattle grazing and winter loud i> cheaper than any were; tiiat the 'and that were considered worn out arc splendid grazing lands. Fields thai have not been cultivated for years are now being included by wire fencing and herds of cattle put on them. The 5r t? J : 0/v? ordinary juiuuiu turn, ?-u\v pc?, ghum, cane, &c., are being utilized for ensilage and Iced. The ordinary or native grasses are equal to auy other when cut and handled properly, and it is entirely unnecessary to introduce foreign grasses. In fact, the native grasses are now awakening to the tact that if they will just look beyond a "cotton row'' they have a Stato which will produce not only what they have always grown, but almost everything el>e, and her capacity for diversified agriculture and industries is inexhaustible.? Gen. Stephen D. Lee is a tall, soldierly, handsome man about fitly years old. Trained to military life and having given to that profession f?itr!ii*r vofirs of Ill's mnttluinri. he phere of fealty to this system, ami hail not in his experience heard it questioned. He was atuoug those, however, who first began to impeach its integrity and to discuss its overthrow. 1 he establishment of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College was the practical result of this movement. It has been in existence only a few years, but in that brief period it has shown Mississippians that their State is blessed with boundless ree.iiitwc fluit it offers rieh rewards to every l'orm of agricultural industn, and rejoices in a cliunite of unsurpassed healthfnlness. The college farm has demonstrated the capacity of the Srate for gardening, frirt growing, stock raising, dairy farming. The college is turning out every year hundreds of intelligent young men, trained in all the details of diversified agriculture. General Lee has every riyht to be proud of the great work he is conducting, and hopeful of the re-ult, not only for Mississippi, but for the eniire Southwest. SOUTH PACIFIC SAVAGES. The Marshall Islanders, Their Wars, Dress Kites and Social Habits. (From the San Francisco Examiner.) The inhabitants of the fai South Pacific coast islands are in many respects strange human beings, and not the lea;>t singular fact in connection wHJi them is their manner and custom of life,-both in the domestic. eUfcte Jud - - ? - CV _ _ ^ when battling wun oiaer inoes. oume G,000 iniies from this city is the Marshall group of Island-:, the inhabitants of which are conspicuous for their warlike propensities, great size, and gigantic strength, together with other traits of strongly original character, and regarding with little or nothing is known in the civilized world. A few days ago the three-masted schooner John Hancock returned from a trading cruise to the Gibe and Marshall groups and the master of the vessel, Captain William Chapman, secured a valuable collection of curiosities in the shape ot war clubs, spears, boat paddles, shells, etc. With Captain Chipman, as a passenger, was a young man, S.

In warfare their weapon* consist of clubs, spears and arrow.-, all ot which thep use with the greatest skill and accuracy. The clubs are made of iron wood, and are very heavy. They are of va ious shapes, the most murderous being the gnarled root of the ironwood tree. The other clubs are of lighter character. The arrows arc made of light bamboo, the points being of iron wood. The spears arc also made out of the same kind ot timber and run down to a fine point, which is tipped with a poisonous preparation. The feather end is fantastic and gaudy, a regular bouquet of feathers plucked from the rarest birds being used and blended together with a strict regard for colors. The islander?, particularly in the vicinity of New Ireland, have no particular love for the whites, and it is not an infrrqaeiit occurrence to tind some settler lying in front of his door d?*ad.

The simple truth is, nobody believes it, else there would be a fermed. The sensation has been worked up irom Bufljilo, and for the benefit of cev*"in social interests there. "When the ibject was.first broached, about ten da\ s ago, a very near and personal triend of Uie President authorized a positive denial of tiie report.

There might | have been some excuse for the rumor I at that time.

The close personal friendship that existed between Mr. Cleveland and his now deceased law partner is known to every citizen of Buffalo.

If the i most positive denials given here go for j nought, and if President Cleveland : is m In* mnrripd 1 it .Time. there ! will be a social upturning here such i as Washington never before has seen. Despite Miss Cleveland's scholar I ship, her position arid her many graccs, j it is an undeniable fact that she has j been socially overshadowed by Mrs. i William C. Whitney, the wife of the 1 secretary of the navy. This lady, ! with her vast, fortune, her splendid j residence in New York, her comrnodii ous house on I street in this city and j her country sea: ju=t outside the bor: ders of the Capital, has been the recog! nnr>pn nf the nrevent sea 1 >on.

There is i something companionable in a good j tree, and it gives a more homelike cliari aeter to home. But many make the mistake of planting too many trees. When we set small tree.* we forget what they will be in a few rears and we are likely to plant (hem too closo together.

We do not look j ahead far enough to see what they will be in a few years, and the result is, in ! many cases, that our windows are ob! scurcd by branches, and the sunshine is I barred out.

She accordingly sent out- her visiting cards, with "Old-Fashioned Tea" written under the engraved name, and in the corner opposite the address, added "From Four to Seven.1' In the back parlor the table was simply set with tongue, sandwiches, the most dclicious crullers, made by her mother, who is famous for that particular cake, cookies, equally delicious, also home-made sponge cake, chipped beof and ehecsc.

Tlio Frieixls of the Great Indianian Find that There is no Charm in His Name. (Frtrma Washington Letter.) The political estate of the late Tlios. A. Hendricks, which was burdened, doubtless, with too many administrators, has gone glimmering as it were. Xone would have supposed that the personal friends of Hendricks would be so soon forgotten. To those who were his supporters the administration apparently turns a deaf ear. Hendricks had about him a few persons from Indiana whom he was especially desirous of having quartered in comlortable positions. Since the day his remains were laid at rest in Indianapolis but two avowed friends have been recognized, and each of those in the smallest subordinate positions. The man who stood nearer Hendricks and was his coiiiidenuai secretary was relieved the day John Sherman was made President pro tempore of the Senate and a Republican given the place. From that day to this promises have been made to Colonel East, with assurances that he would be assigned. East was true and faithful to Hendricks, and in view of the prominent position he occupied it was naturally expected he would be properly provided for. Hendricks also had a nephew who was relieved from a good position by Sherman at the same time Colonel East was. lie too has been promised from day to dav, but yet i? uncommissioned. To liave been a friend of Hendricks does not mean an office at the hands of this administration. The case of Colonel Ea?t is one of more than ordinary importance. lie has for years been a prominent factor in Indiana politics, and at one time, when wealthy, he contributed largely to the Democratic cau^e. lie is heartily endorsed by the Indiana delegation in Congress, but even that tails to secure anything more than promises. Hendricks has been dead but six months, and to-day it is almost impossible for ? T"\^.1.4% f t,Y irc*t !

A Washington' correspondent to the New York Tribune in a recent article, in speaking of the tariff, says: Speaker Carlisle is inclined to take a hopeful view of the prospects of tarill legislation at this session of Congress. He is reported as estimating that not more than fifteen Democrat* will vote against the bill, while twenty-live Republicans will vole for it. Ahram S. Hewitt thinks the bill will pass, and so does W. L. Scoit, who has decided to vote for it and who is exerting lii.s influence in favor of it. To his efforts are attributed the rumored intention of two other Pennsylvania Democrats ?Storm ami Swopc?to support the measure. It is not a very profound secret that in his "new departure" Mr. Scott is cheered and strengthened by the sympathy and approval of the Administration. There is pretty good reason to believe that in respect to the proposed tariff legislation Mr. Cleveland does not cling tenaciouslv to his doctrine that the office duties of a President are "essentially executive," bui that, oil the contrary, he not only feels a deep interest iu the success oi the tariff bill, but personally and otherwise is bringing a strong pressure to bear upon Democrats who are hostile, wavering or indifferent. Tliiexcculive pressure probably will aflect sonic votes. ?The storv is told on the Pacific - - -v i tnat a ^nmamaii, ui^cuargeu ?ni ?tcounr of the boycott, turned to his late employer with an air of genial and impersonal rejrret: "Oh, \es; Ilishman ask Melican man send away China1 man.
