News and Fourier 23rd inst. The present situation of the bag ging war is one that is puzzling to an outsider who does not understand the ins and outs of the business, and par ticularly annoying to the cotton men, both farmers and factors. The Uiver- |K>ol Cotton Exchange is maintaining a stolid silence on the subject, and de spite the repeated requests from the various American Exchanges, refuses to take any decisive action one way or the other on the subject of cotton bagging beyond the condemnatory resolutions passed or the 29th of July. It lias been repeatedly staled, not only in the newspapers but “officially,” by many of the Ex changes on this side of the water, that the cotton bagging which the Farmers’ Alliance has declared in fu- \or of will not stand the rough hand ling it must necessarily he subjected to in being shipped to the European markets, but despile this fact no reg ular te*l of its merit has as yet been made, except, perhaps, that referred to by the President of the New Or leans Cotton Exchange in his reply to the Liverpool Exchange, and it is consequently impossible to tell, with any degree of certainty whatever, whether or not the article will stand shipping. “Mailers are in a very provoking stale of si spense just now,” “aid a I iroininent cotton and jute dealer to a ieporter for the News and Courier yesterday. “The farmers, bound by the rules of the Alliance, are holding olf from buying jute bugging, al though in the wholesale murket there bus been no falling ofl* whatever in the demand. The retail dealers seem to have perfect confidence in the jute trade being sustained through the sea son and are buying very large quan tities of it. One firm in tills city, I have been informed, has made larger sales this season than in many years, and very similnr reports come from most of the others. But the bagging is going no farther than the retail deal ers. The farmers—the real consum ers—are, as l before remarked, hold ing oft* from buying, and while the dealers have no fear for the season generally they are certainly no; dis posing of very much of their stock just at this time. How long the far mers will keep this up nobody can tel). In some portions of the South they are more determined than others. I got a letter from a firm of bagging men in Augusta, Gu., in which they complained that the sales at present are very slow, on account of the de termined iiostility of the Alliance, In other sections, however, the people do not seem to have hound themselves and they are purchasing the jute art icle just as they have always done. “Has any cotton bagging been put on the market in Charleston?” asked the reporter. “None at all that I have heard of,” w’aa the reply. “The merchants here do not care to handle it until some decision is arrived at by the cotton men across the water, who are, us you know, holding the matter In abey ance. if they are considering it at all. The Charleston Cotton Exchange has written to Liverpool, urging some, de cisive action iuAediately, but no- L t 'Ml“ J!Lb aa(\n aa Iverpool takes some action the other European Exchanges will, without doubt, fall into line, and the question will be settled. But until tills is done the struggle between the farmers and the Bagging Trust will continue, much to the detriment* of the trade generally. The farmers will hold back tlieir cotton, and when it ought t© be in the market it will be housed away in the gin bouses ail over the country, doing nobody any good. “The cotton bagging lias been taken hold of in some portions of the State, but in almostevery case by the agents of the Alliance. The other dealers seem afraid of it ami will not bundle it. I saw by the News and Courier tiie other day where it had been in troduced ut Orangeburg, but in this instance, as in tiie others, it was sold by tiie authorized agent of tiie Al liance. “I am in perfect sympathy witli tiie farmers in their movement against trusts of any kind, but I think they have been too precipitate in this case. They should not have bound them selves by resolution or anything else of the kind until they were sure a substitute which would be acceptable was available. At present tlieir hands are practically tied. They have pledged themselves not to use jute, and if they use cotton they run tiie risk of having tiie bales refused in which event they would be put to tiie double expense of covering them again with jute. Sir Joshua Reynolds, the great por-1 trait painter, declared there never was a perfectly beautiful woman. There are thousands of young gentlemen in this country of Horatio’s wise and dispassionate age (just twenty) who are ready to contradict the painter flatly. Marriage is usually the “spec tacles” which diseuchauts the picture aud robs these mundane angels of tlieir wings. But sometimes the illu sion is kept up after marriage. We ail remember reading how Dr. John son praised and petted his coarse, red faced and ugly-featured wife, calling her the “pretty dear” and “sweet creature.’’ Similar iustances are to be found every day in real life. I re member one most vividly. The wagon of a “mover” bound for Texas, had stopped for the team to rest under the shade of a great Louisiana pecan tree, where a party who had been nut ting were sitting on the grass count ing their pecans and playing “hull- gull.” The woman seated in the wagon throned on a pile of pots, chairs, chests, and mattresses, was certainly the ugliest female in the world—a hook-nosed red-headed spe cimen with buck teeth and freckled visage. The good-looking driver proved social*!© and opened conversa tion by inquiring how “fur it was to Sabine River,” and volunteered tiie information iliat he came “all tiie way from Alabum—the best State in the Union.” “Why did you leave it, tiien ?” was asked. “Well, I had a small difficulty with a fellow out there —broke two of iii.s rios and smashed his nose, i reckon he wont feel like hankering after other folks’ wives A man can’t have a in Chock taw Coun * pretty soon. good-!oo.<mg wif*< tv .liiiiont some leilow’s en-ryin’ him.” Jic nodded Isis head at the woman enthroned upon the pots and and mattresses, and she urinned com placently and felt herself as irresist- able as though she had been Helen or Mcssalina.—Tiie New York Fashion Bazar for September, by the publish er, George Munroe, 17 to 27 Vande- water street, New York. Sub scription $3 per vear. Dyspepsia Makes the lives of many miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. We know of no remedy for dyspepsia more successful than Hood’s Sarsapa rilla. It acts gently, yet surely and efficiently, tones tiie stomach and other organs, removes the faint feel ing, creates a good appetite, cures headache, and refreshes tiie burdened mind. Give Hood’s Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It will do you good. The Farmers’ Alliance of Ander- stn county have given their order for one hundred yards of cotton bagging, to he shipped during the months of September, October and November. When disease racks the frame, when sores cover tiie person, when aches are in every joint, when the muscles are soft and flabby, when the least ex ertion gives fatigue, when the mind is Ailed with gloom and despondency, what is there in life worth living, and yet mauv eke out just such a miser able existence, living only* f>r those who love them. When it is generally known that Brown’s Iron Bitters will cure tiie above disorders how many hearts will he made glad! Hew many homes made happy! Pimples, boils and other humors are liable to appear when the blood gets heated. To cure them, take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. A remarkable sight was witnessed at Riley depot, in Cass County, Mis souri, on a recent evening. The sun was getting low when a train pulled iu and the engine began to let off steam. As soon as released the steam began to form, and jn a short time a complete rainbow could be seen a few feet above the engine and reaching to the ground on either side. It was a beautiful sight, aud remained as long as the engineer released steam from the engine. McEIr—»« WINE OF CAWDUI for female dlseaaee. Mercurial Poison. EPOCH. The transition from long, lingering aud painful sickness to robust health marks an epocn in the life of the ine dividual. Such a remarkable eveu- is treasured in the memory, and tht agency whereby the good liealth lias been attained is gratefully remem bered. Hence it is that so ;much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restora tion to health to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic.

The other day a Northeastern rail road train killed a cow for an old dar key’, when tiie owner forthwith went to the section boss and demanded pay tor his animal, of course placing (lie value very high, for the quickest way to make a thoroughbred animal of a scrub is to get it killed by the railroad.
