Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 24.?At a general ieetlng|of the Memphis Cotton Exobange, eld Dec. 2-% 1695, tbe following resolutions 'ere unanimously adopted: The cotton crop of 1S94-95 aggregated the normous total of 9,001,261 bales, and greatly sceeded the requirements of tbe world's anufactures. Tbe marketing of this enormia crop depressed prices to such an extent jat values were the lowest known In the | ast 50 years. Tbe commercial value of tbe total crop was 197.037,530, and only exceeded tbe short crop : r 1892-98 $12,272,081, although the production . as 3,200,886 bales greater. This crop with s proportionately low price, netted the proacer less money than will tbe present crop lth a smaller acreage and a production of I early one-third less In bales. uuviag oeen pracucauy aemonsiraieu uy ie results of tbe present season tbat a small op of cotton actually brings to tbe projcer more money than an extremely large cp, and that tbe southern cotton producers iviDR grown tbelr supplies at borne, there- i 7 making cotton tbe surplus, or money crop, e 'jjeDerally iu better financial condition ; inn tbey have been in years, it is nnque*- . onably to tbe interest of farmers not to , roduce a crop greater than tbe requirement* ' ' manufactures, Tbe growing of a large : op of cotton entails proportionally greater cpense than a small crop. Tbe cultivating, . nnlng, freight,etc., in marketing tbe addl- . onal bales is an immense item, especially so , ben prices are depreciated by tbe fact tbat ie crop is a large one. Experience ol tbe ] ist has demonstrated tbat in a large crop jar, with depreciated prices of cotton, rental id'realty values aleo depreciate, whereas, 1 ith a small crop and better prices, rental j id realty values improve proportionately, ae high range of prices wblcn have preitted this season as compared to last season , is been, we fear, the means of stimulating . i tbe part of planters a desire to increase ie acreage of cotton for tbe coming year, and \ msumers are now holding off in laying in a innlv nf th? Rf.nnla nnrlpr thn hpllpf that nn ? crease Id tbe acreage will depreciate present | Ices and enable them to get what they Deed , lower values. 1 Another matter for tbe farmers to bear in ilnd, Is tbatat tbe present time when tbere a remote possibility of a war, Ifsuob ' lould occur, tbe inevitable result thereof ' ould be :to depreciate tbe vatue of cotton , id appreciate the value of all food crops, 1 lerefore be it. 1 Resolved, Tbat tbe Memphis Cotton Ex lange urgently recommends to tbe pro- ' jeers tbat tbe production of home supplies : ) made the tirst consideration in planting jeratlons for tbe coming year, and tbe :reage of cotton be not increased over tbat 1 ' last year. . Resolved, That we approve and Indorse tbe merican Cotton Growers' Association for i lnglDg about tbe reduction in tbe acreage . tbe crop now being marketed, and we re>ectfully urge tbe Hon. Hector D.

Here is an account of a phenomena of the Pascagonla river in Mississippi to which, although it is not generall; known, the attention of naturalists ha been called on account of its mystery At times very remarkable sounds ar beard at the month of this river. Th local fishermen say that it is "the spirit ringing under the water." It is a mux muriug souiid, which rises gradual!; and then falls to a lower tone. Th music ceases when the waters are difl turbed, and when they are quiet it be gins again. Several explanations have been offer? as to the origin and cause of the myste rious sounds of the Pascagonla. Th most satisfactory theory is that th sounds are produoed by a species of fis] in some nil known way. Professor u Brown Goode, who is an anthority oi fishes and fish life, thinks that the drum Ash may cause the sounds in question. Instances of peculiar sounds beini heard at sea and ascribed to fishes ar Dot uncommon, as the following exam pies will show: In 1824, when Lieutenant White o the American navy was at the mouth o a river in Cambodia, he and his crev were surprised by unusual sounds. H d ascribed the noises as a mixture of th base of an organ, the ringing of bells the guttural cries of a large frog and th tones of an immense harp. The native said that the sounds were produced by I 1 -M - A.L scuoui uj. a ucriuiii juuu ui uuui. Dr. Bnist, 1847, reported that a part; of people in a boat on the waters nea Bombay heard strange sounds, wbiol the natives held to bo can Bed by flat The well known English traveler, Sir J Emerson Tennent, heard similar sonnd from the lake of Battioaloa in Ceylon and here again the natives claimed tha flahea made the Bounds. Several com spoadents of newspapers have report? having heard sounds which were pre ctaced by fishes. One writer in the Lou don Field, 1867, avers that in the hai bor at Greytown, Nicaragua, he wa baunted at night by these mysterion sounds. Another in the same paper tell of musical sounds Which he heard in th ravoy river. Other instances of mor recent date might be mentioned. From all the aooounts given we ma; iraw some interesting oonoluaionfi Thus it seems that the sounds are a] most always beard on shipboard, thong] Dharles Kings ley once heard them a Frinidad from the shore; that they ar usually heard in tropical regions; tha they are more often heard at night thai nt any other time; that they are oom monlv heard at the month of rivers, a it the month of the Pascagoula, an< chat they have been reported from fa distant places in America, Europe am isia.?Our Animal Friends. 1 Pnlw the Biqjrel*.

The counter is tbat stiff part at the back of the shoe. Weak ankles re3 auire stiff counters and low heels. If f there is any play in the instep the i, ankle turns in walking and the heel 0 runs down on one side. If the shoe is e laced the wearer can draw it together s tightly and it supports the ankle. _ Persons who run down their heels y should always have star plates, which J: are made of iron,- or a half circle of * iron nails fastened on the edge of their 1 heeles. The steel nails really wear much better than the iron, but they are dangerous, as they are apt to cause one to slip. Wearing shoes with runb down heels make the feet tender, and s ruins their shape." 0 "Why in the world do the soles of 1 my boots wear off at the toes almost . as soon as I get them ?" was the next question. "I have a dozen pairs and each one of them looks as if mice had 6 nibbled off the toes." 1 "That's what every woman who * comes in here Bays," was the laugh ing response, "and its easily explaini ed. Shoe men never heard that comi plaint up to two years ago, but as sood i as the pointed toes came into style wog men began to complain. The toes are so narrow that they strike whatever comes in meir way nrec, ana oegiu to wear off in a week or two because there is such a tiny piece of leather to wear, whereas if the toe of the boot is round or square it wears off evenly y and lasts much longer than the Pic* cadilly or razor toe."

During the winter months, though our poultry was well sheitei and fed, ana great care used to k< i the building clean, giving plenty fresh water, air, etc.,; we found,at - opening of the spring, wehadnorec neration for our labor, as cost of gra scraps, potatoes, etc., far exceeded i income of eggs.

We feed green bone in fair quanity every otl i day, and Bome of the time every d i They are inexpensive, and with a g< bone cutter they make, wben cutfn r every day, so nice a food that we o] liken to a nice rare steak to a bunj t man. The fowls love it. They thr. add the chickens grow rapidly wfc fed on it. The mineral part of this f( gives chickens material for their grc i ing bones, and for the laying hens I . shell, while the meat, gristleand jui in these green bones give material tbe flesh of the growing chickens a interior of the egg in abundance. . now our fowls, instead of being o' mt in wiuror, Hie giviug us trgra , stead of being a sorry-looking, deject unprofitable lot during the moulti period, they are wide-awake and stroi and many of 'tbem go so far as to gi us eggs regularly, at this time.

A Mother's Remedy for Croup. The following sensible letter of "H tie" we find in the Cincinnati Eoquir "For the benefit of those who do r know how to cure the croup, I willse a never failing remedy. I have alws doctored my own children when th had the croup, and I have had over cases, and I have never lost one.

The moment must at band when the first sunbeam sbi flash on Bethlehem, and give tbe s nal far tbe world-round trumpet chor which is to usher in tbe two thoi andth Christmas dawn. Twothousai years the herald augels have waited 1 the answer to their bong. There is something that appeals the sense of fitness in this idea of ma ing the celebration of the day simuli neous in every land ; in the thoug that with the first note of the trumpe whether it be midnight, dawn or ei ning, it will be that moment Christm moruine everywhere. Other feast da we may wait for as they slowly dav around the earth, ending here ere the antipodes tbey begin, but this da sacred to the tie of universal humi brotherhood, should have no mome that all mankind does not share in coi mon.
