Number 150 .and not Promise to be Very Valuable Additions. Baltimore Sun. Tho Sulu Islands, which the | United States is to acquire, are in . the Indian ocean, between tho J Mindoro or Sulu sea on the north, j iho Celebes sea on the south, the j Island of Borneo on the southwest and that of Mindanao on the northoast. Their length is about '200 miles. The archipelago consists of nearly 150 islands, most of them small, and divided into three groups, named after the three principal inlands, Banoelan, in the northeast, Sulu in the centre, and ITawee-Tawee on the southwest. Bascelan is of oolong form, about forty-two miles long by six miles broad. Sulu stretches thirty 1 five miles from east to west, with a breadth of ten miles, TaweeTawee is about thirty-five miles jlong. The other chief islands of the group include i'ata on the south, ' and a small group called tho Ta 1 pool Islands on the southwest. Among the trees that grow on the islands are teak and sandal | woods, and among tho fruits are 1 the cocoanuts, bananas, mangoes and oranges. Wild boars ami ideer are common. Oxen, swine, J gnats aad poult ry are abundant. Tho islands were formerly noted for piracy. The whole of Sulu archipelago was under the sw.ty of a despotic sultan, who claimed sovereignty over i large part of Ho* neo, but the Spaniards conquered tho islands and annexed I them to tho eo'ony of tho Phil I Ti... tion of the islands is estimated at 75,000. Sulu, also culled Soung, the principal town of the archipelago, is Hituutcd on the northwest coast of the island of that name, has a | good roadstead, and, although chiefly composed of huts, has some houses of more ambitious appearance. Its population is about 6.000. , I ,j Temperance and labor are the ; two bent physicians of men; labor sharpens the appetite, and temperance provents him from in' dulging in excess. Riln(Ht?

An article inspired by the 'd^.ith "f .lames Richardson, the > |groat cotton planter, gives some . very interesting facts concerning the Sout i's great staple. The article appealed in the Washing' ton Post and has the following which will be of interest to South Carolinians: "For three years after the war the cotton crop was a failure. The best plantations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama were loused to irfOftt \nrllioin companies. Cotton was worth 515 cents per pound. Theso lands had made 500 pound bales to the aerc. They had lain four years following during tho war, and would do again what they had done. The ativo planters were glad to have their places restocked for them, j So they willingly made threa year leases, tho conditions always j being thai at the expiration of the ^ lease, his place, with its stock, should rovert to its owner. Some immense rentals woro paid. The Andrews brothers gave General Wade Hampton $20,000 per year, from 1865 to and including 1868, for hiB Walnut liidgo plantation of 5,000 acres, on Lake Washington, Miss.; for the Carolina place ami another plantation of ^.bout the same size as the first one mentioned, the firm jf Hoyt, Sprague & Co., of Providence, R. I., paid quite as great a sum. These Northern gentlemen said they would show the Southerners ! how to grow cotton.
