It is not easy to understand, says the Charles? ton Courier, how there should be any surprise at the downward tendency in the price of cot? ton. The fell in the price of each successive crop since 1865 is but a natural and inevitable return of the value of this staple to it" normal level. Moreover, recent events have had a di? rect tendency to give impetus to this course of prices. The Liverpool and Manchester deal? ers, a lew months back, forgot their usual poli? cy of "bearing" the market in anticipation of the new crop, and for reasons not very obvious but, as the event proves, mistaken, bought largely in excess of their wants, thereby sus? taining prices, perhaps above what was under all the circumstances a just level. Following.this accumulation of stocks, came the war between Prussia and France, the effect of which was to almost entirely stop the Eng? lish export of yarns and goods to two of the chief European markets and also to check se? verely the- export of raw cotton from Liverpool to> the- Continent, while the Continental de? mand; at the American ports, sustained a like shock. Under these circumstances, the Eng Bsh market is in no condition at present to buy freely of the new crop. True, the desire of the Liverpool dealers to secure the best1 possible price for cotton of the last erop, which they had bought at comparatively high figures, would naturally prevent them from active efforts to weaken the American markets, which has been a sort of negative protection of prices here; but the fact of their having now to sell their cotton at a loss will act hereafter as a reason for Liverpool "bearing1 our markets persistent Sbefore ouying any considerable quantity of J e new crop. The next influence tending to depress the Home market, therefore, maybe expected in the form of determined attacks from Liverpool. Whether this may be assisted by failures among the English speculators and dealers arising from their recent and current losses remains to Be seen; it is to be expected, however, that there will be more or less distrust respecting liverpool houses, with the temporary effect of I checking consignments from this side. It is important that planters and merchants should keep in view the prospect of this contest of en? durance, the question to be. decided being whether Liverpool can do without our cotton or New York without exchange on London for a longer period. If the war should be prolonged, the consequent employment of foreign capital lere would be favorable to our carrying cotton; but on the other hand, the protection of hostil? ities, by keeping the French and German mar? kets closed against cotton and cotton goods, would be liable to neutralize this advantage. Upon the whole, (says the New York Bulle Hit, a well informed authority, in an article on this subject,) the prospect is full of uncertain? ty, and conveys little assurance of any recove? ry in prices, while it admits of the possibility of a temporary further decline. But two things appear to be certain?that the crop will exceed that of last year by probably 500,000 bales, and that the war, whether soon ended or continued for months, must pro\e seriously detrimental to-the English and Continental trade in cotton goods. The facts of the situation, however, do not justify despondency among holders of the staple, but rather counsel a judicious waiting for the course of events. WkabttTG Colts.?At four months old colts tie generally weaned, and this is among the most important periods in their life. Ordinarily while nursing, if <:he food of both the mare and colt has been good, the latter is fat. The point is to take from the colt no in? considerable part of its nourishment, and still have it retain its flesh, and what is better, its health. To accomplish this, some preparatory steps must be taken. Colts love company.? They get accustomed to that of their mother, and H suddenly deprived of it will pine more or leas. To obviate this difficulty, we have known breeders for four weeks before weaning to turn the colt into an inclosure with a spring calf, or even a cosset sheep, and not unfrequent ljr a lone buck, whose isolation from the flock will dispose him to respond to the overtures of the colt at once. This compaay will pacify him in the occa? sional absence of the mother, and prepare for final and complete separation. When that time comes, it is always best to take the mother away from home, or entirely oat of sight and hearing. If she is in reach of eyes or ears, the suggestion of loss will be oftener made than if only the appetite calls it op; and this latter can be in some sense satis? fied by an extra allowance of what the colt has learned to love best. The best place to keep the colt for the first | three days is on an ample barn-floor well cov? ered with old hay, and so protected that there will be no chance for the colt to get its feet in? to crevices, or otherwise receive injury. He shonld be fed with the very best food that the season will admit of?grass with a little meal^mtermixed; a handful of oats for a change; water always handy, into which he can dip his nose fifty times a day; and what is of equal im? portance, he must have his new-made compan-1 ion. the calf or the ram, to smell of, to play ! with, and, in hi3 colt way, to talk*to. ' From four to seven days will be ample to partially wean him. He can then be turned into an enclosure with his company, which shall afford him large space, both for exercise and in which to obtain food. The field where he is placed should be surrounded with a most substantial fence?at least one so high that the thought of scaling it will never enter the mind of the colt. Besides,, he- shonld be visited by the owner, or some one to whom he has became accustom? ed, a dozen times a day, and should be always jiving some little dainty at each visit, besides words full of soothing and caresses, which he will most keenly appreciate. In two weeks the crisis will have passed. He will remember the mother, but not pine for her, and thereafter, with abundant food, well chosen company and careful confinement, he will be ready to enter upon his first winter with everv hope of passing through it without harm, and beginning his second summer in a healthy and hopeful condition.?Hearth and Home. ? A young lady, going into a barrack-room At Fort George, saw an officer toasting a slice of Bread on the point of his sword; on which she exclaimed, "I think, sir, you have got the staff of lifo on the point of death." ? Thou askest me, what is hope ? It is a leading and flattering star of mankind, which is obscured and disappears with the last beat? ing of the heart. An old "stager" of Salem was compelled by his worthy spouse "to join the cold water army," which he did, promising never to touch a drop except in sickness. He has never been tttUfinee. Locomotives Without Rails.?The Bri? tish War Department has investigated a recent invention of a locomotive without rails, and it q reported in official reports far more useful than any horse. The Superintendent of Ma? chinery says he has come to the conclusion that the question of steam traction on common roads is now completely solved ; that the ap? plication of the India rubber is a perfect suc? cess ; that it opens up an entirely new field, and that he looks upon this as a discovery rath? er than an invention. In the course of experiments witnessed, the engine went up a labyrinth of zigzag courts, and it can describe a figure almost in a space of twice its length. The boiler employed is an independent invention adapted to the car? riage. The chief peculiarity is the copper pot used for holding the water within the furnace, and is so contrived that if the boiler contains any water, the pot will have a full supply. This arrangements keeps the centre of gravity low and allows the engine to run up hills of 1 in 10, or go along an angle of 30?. The wheel and its tire may be described as consist? ing of a broad iron tire with narrow flanges, upon which is placed a ring of vulcanized in? dia-rubber; this ring is 12 inches in width, and 5 inches in thickness, which thus suirounds the iron tire and is kept in its place by the flanges; then over the India-rubber there is placed an endless chain of steel plates, which is the por? tion of the wheel which comes in actual con? tact with the road, the reticulated chain being connected by a sort of vertebra at each side of the wheel. The India-rubber tire and this ring of steel plates have no rigid connection, but are at perfect liberty to move around as they please without consulting each other, or even without the concurrence of the inner ring of the wheel which they both inclose. What is in the Bedroom.?If two persons are to occupy a bedroom during the night, let them step on a weighing scale as they retire, and then again in the morning, and they will find their actual weight is at least a pound less in the morning. Frequently there will be a loss of two or more pounds, and the average loss throughout the year will be a pound of matter, which has gone off from their bodies, partly from the lungs and partly from the pores of the skin. This escaped material is carbonic acid I and decaved animal matter or poisonous exha? lation. This is diffused in the air in part, and part absorbed by the bed clothes. If a single ounce of cotton be burned in a room, it will so completely saturate the air with smoke that ! one can hardly breathe, though there can only be one ounce of foreign matter in the air. If an ounce of cotton be burned every half hour du? ring the night, the air will be kept continually saturated with smoke, unless there be an open window or door for its escape. Now the six? teen ounces of smoke thus formed is far less f>oisonous than the sixteen exhalations from the ungs and bodies of two persons who have lost a pound in weight during the hours of sleeping; for while the dry smoke is mainly taken into the lungs, the damp odors from the body are absorbed into the pores of the whole body. Need more be said to show the importance of having bed rooms well ventilated, and of thor? oughly airing the bed clothes in the morning, before packing them up in the form of a neatly made bed ? ? Fattening Hogs.?The season for fatten? ing hogs is at hand, when the facts established by experience in this important farm industry may be of interest, at least to those who do not have their hog-pens in the West! It has been found that corn, the best grain for fattening, will yield ten to twelve pounds of pork to the bushel, when fed in the ear. When ground, several pounds are gained. When it is in ad? dition, steamed or scalded, there is an addi ! tional increase, running the bushel of corn up to twenty pounds?double the amount of the same corn when fed in the ear, much of which will then only be cracked, and some pass away whole. Grinding and steaming or scalding 1 well will give nearly all the strength of the corn, if not fed too plentifully, or crowded in feed? ing. Fed regularly, and eaten clean, and with ! easy and perfect digestion?this is the way to get the full strength of the corn. The manure is worth less, but this is by no means to be con? sidered, especially where farmers rely on com? mercial fertilizers, instead of home-made com? posts. It may be expensive to steam food ; to scald it can hardly be so considered, as it only requires a little daily care, which there is usu? ally some minor member of the family to be? stow. It is of course easier to fling down the the ears in the dirt, in the old wasteful way our fathers followed, when corn was cheap. But the application of heat prepares the food for the stomach, and makes piggy grow like magic. It is considered good economy to fatten spring pigs. They certainly make the choicest bacon for family use.?Farmer and Artisan. How to Eradicate Sassafras Bushes.? George Levy, writing to the Baltimore Ameri? can, gives his mode of destroying this trouble? some bush : Many farms arc infested with sas? safras bushes, ana plans have been adopted for their destruction with little success, the trouble being that when they are grubbed ufJ every small root left, will, the ensuing spring, produce a separate shoot and thus the numbers increase. Thirty years ago a practical farmer, who had seen four-score years, told me that, if the bushes were grubbed up the day before and the day af? ter the full of the moon in July, and the day before and the day after the full of the moon in August, the small roots left in the ground will never germinate again. After thirty years' ex? perience, I am prepared to say to all who are troubled with them, suspend all other work; embrace the opportuniiy offered during the four days I have named ; and, in the coming spring, you may see one in a thousand; but fol? low the same course next summer, and you shall see your enemy no more. I speak from expe? rience?I leave others to philosophize and theo? rize upon it. ? The Boston Bulletin tells this : Old Judge B-, of New Hampshire, was what Artemus Ward would have called a "sociable cuss," off tbe Bench, and was noted for claiming acquain? tance with any one whose appearance happened to please him. Entering a crowded car on the Boston and Maine Railroad, one day, his Honor found the only unoccupied seat to be by the side of a smartly-dressed and rather good looking young woman. Ascertaining that the seat was not engaged, the Judge settled himself comfortably in it, and turning with his accus? tomed bland, fatherly smile to his fair compan? ion, said: "Your face seems familiar to me, my dear; I think I must know you." "I should think you might," said the un? known, in a hoarso, whiskey, contralto voice, turning a vindictive pair of eyes on the aston? ished Judge; "I should think you might; you sent me to the house of correction for three months, last winter, you infernal old scoun? drel." The Judge did not press his claims for ac? quaintance any further in that quarter. -? ? What a nuisance that word "If" is; it stands in the way like the danger-signal of a railway, and stops everything! ? The difference between war and peace has been well defined by one of the ancients: "In time of peace the sons bury their fathers ; in time of war the fathers bury their sons." ? In general, that man is a coward who shapes his course of action by his fears; and he alone is a man of true courage who dares to do right. ? A young lady being asked by a rich old bachelor, "If not yourself, who would you rath? er be ?" replied, sweetly and modestly, " Yours truly." ? Our friend Guzzler, whose eyesight is fail? ing him, was recommended to try glasses for its improvement. He says he went and took five or six directly, and the result was that his eye? sight was bo much improved that he could ac? tually see double! A Short Sermon. There's nine men standin' at the dore, an' they all sed they'd take shugar in t:ier'n. Sich, friends and brethering, was the talk in a wurldli cens, wonst common in this our ainshunt land, but the dais is gone by and the sane run dry, and no man can say to his nabur, thou art the man and will you take enny mure shugar in your kaughey? But the wurds of our tex has a difirunt and a more nertickelur meenin than this. Thar they stooa at the dore on a cold winter's mornin, two Baptiss and two Metho diss and five Lutharians,.and the tother was a publikin and they all with one vois sed they wouldn't dirty their feet in a dram shop but if the publikin would go and get the drinks they'd ! pay for 'em. And they all cried out and every j man sed, "I'll take mine with shugar?for it I won't feel good to drink the stuff without sweetenin'." So the publikin he marched in and the bar? keeper said, "What want ye ?" and he answered I and .ted, "A drink." "How will ye have it?" I "Plain and strate," says he, "for it ain't no use in wastin shugar to circumsalivateakafortis. But there's nine more a standin' at the dore, and they all sed they'd take shugar in ther'n." Friends and brethering, it ain't only the likker ! or the spirits that is drunk in this round-about and underhanded way, but it's the likker of all eorts of human wickedness in like manner. There's the likker of raallis that mcnny of you drinks to the dregs; but yurc sure to sweetin it with the shugar of self-justification. Thcr's the likker of avriss that sum keeps behind the curtain for constant use, but they always has it well mixt with the sweetin uv prudens and ekonimy. Ther's the likker of self-luv that sum men drinks by the gallon, but they always put in lots of the shugar of take keer of No. One. An lastly, thcr's the likker uv extorshun, which the man sweetins accordin to circum? stances. If he's in the flour line, he'll say the porr'll be better of eating corn bread; if he's in the cloth line, wy it's a good thing to larn 'em to make their cloth at home ; if he's in the leather line, it'll larn 'cm the necessity of tak? ing better keer uv shoes. And there's nine, men at the dore, and they all sed they'd take shugar in ther'n. But, friends and brethering, thar's a time comin' and a place fixin whar tha^H be no "standin' at the door" to call for "shugar in ther'n." But they'll have to go rite in and take the drink square up to the front; and the bar-keeper'll be old Satun and nobody else; and he'll give 'em "shugar in ther'n" vou'd better believe it, and it'll be shugar of lead, and red hot lead at that, as shure as your name's Conshunce Dodger. And you'll be en? titled to your rations three times a day, if not more frequenter, and if you don't like it you'll have to lump it, and so may the old Nick close down upon all your slick palavering around the plane old people of brotherly luv andginirosity and fellcr-feelin' and fare play ! Amen. An Irrepressible Newsboy.?Eight days, ago a dilapidated juvenile, describing himself as the "Champion Boot-black" of Chicago, ap {>eared in one of our most popular drinkingsa oons, and stated in a confidential manner to 1 the proprietor that, owing to the somewhat un? lucky vicissitudes in his late career, he found himself "strapped," and begged the loan of a quarter, with which he stated that he could once more put himself upon his feet. He even went so far, did this boot-blacking Bohemian, as to state that in payment of the proposed loan, he was willing to aid in scrubbing out the sa? loon. The cheekiness of the boy decided the proprietor to loan him the sum without securi? ty, and the youngster left. I a new pair of gaiters, a silver watch, $25 in his 1 pocket, and an improved appearance, which I was a sufficient guarantee of his prosperous ab? sence. From his story it seems that with the "quarter" added to the results of such other fi? nancial arrangements as he had been able to consummate, he had invested in a stock of mis? cellaneous papers and taken passage to Keokuk. What with the profits from the sales of these, and other sharp figuring, he had been able to enter himsef as competitor in a boot-blacking match in Keokuk, and had come off winner of the "pot," which was twenty dollars. Some other little pecuniary sharpness enabled him to return to this city in the nourishing condition that we have already stated. He insisted upon paying the loan, which was of course declined, and this irrepressible little chap walked out in? to the autumn air with a confident swagger, which would have done credit to a fortunate operator in Wall street. That the incipient Bohemian will manage to get along in this wicked world there can be no doubt.?St. Louis Times. How Monkeys are Caught.?From the chapter of Menageries, in Olive Logan's "Be? fore the Foot Lights and Behind the Scenes," we make the following extract : Monkeys are such cunning creatures, one would suppose them more difficult to catch than other wild animals. Pitfalls will take a lion, and the famished monarch of the forest will, after a few days' starvation, dart into a cajre containing food, and thus be secured. But how are monkeys caught? The ape family resem? bles man. Their vices are human. They love liquor and fall. In Dufour and Sanaar the na? tives make fermented beer, of which the mon? keys are passionately fond. Aware of this, the natives go to the parts of the forest frequented by the monkeys, and set on the ground cala? bashes full of the enticing liquor. As soon as the monkey sees and tastes it, he utters loud cries of joy, that soon attract his comrades.? Then an orgie begins, and in a short time the beasts show all degrees of intoxication. Then the negroes appear. They arc too far gone to dis distrust them, out take them for larger species of their own genus. The negroes take some up, and then begin immediately to weep and cover them with kisses. When a negro takes one by thehand to leal him off, the nearest monkey will cling to the one who thus finds a support, and en? deavor to go off also. Another will grasp at him, and so on, till the negro leads a staggering line of ten or a dozen tipsy monkeys. When finally brought to the village they are securely caged, and gradually sobered down; but for two or three days a gradually diminishing sup? ply of liquor is given them, so as to reconcile them by degrees to their state of captivity. TnE Mount of Olives?Writing from Je? rusalem. "Eusebius" says: Apart from the sacred associations of the Mount of Olives, it is one of the most interest? ing places in the region of Jerusalem. The view of the city itself is the finest to be had from any point. The summit of the Mount of Olives is three hundred feet above the area of the temple, on which it looks directly down as upon the whole city which lies spread out like a map before one s eyes. Every point in the city can be distinguished, and every moun? tain roundabout can be seen, and, looking cast ward, we see the Valley of the Jordan. The Dead Sea itself, although nearly twenty miles distant and three thousand nine hundred and thirty-five feet below, is as plain to the sight as Jerusalem. If the Yiew is so interesting now, what must it have ffeen when Jerusalem was in its glory and the land of the Palestines was like a garden ? I was greatly interested when ascending the Mount of Olives at different times, in tracing out the path that David took?which I think may be quite closely identified?when he fled from the treachery of Absalom. "And David went up by the ascent of Mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, ana barefoot; and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up." Nothing in the history of the reverses which kings havo suffered could be more touching than this. The scene was constantly occurring to my mind as I went up the mountain from time to time. I was almost expectingto meet Shimei as I passed over its summit. The Mobammadans were there with their enrees if he was not I Last Monday he walked in, the of Singular Tableau of Death in A Tent. ?About three weeks ago, there passed over Fort Sully a terrible thunder storm, and in it old Yellow Hawk, an Indian peddler, gave up the ghost. On the day following the storm, a party of men happened to run upon a little canvass tent pitched upon the river bank. There was no signs of life about it, and one of the men, out of curiosity, went up to it, and lifted the canvass door and stepped in. There, in one end of the tent, sat Yellow Hawk, erect and rigid as a stature, with his eyes wide open, and one hand firmly grasped on a dog's neck, and the dog standing on nis fore legs, and part? ly sitting on his haunches, staring wildly in the same direction at his master, while on the other side of the dog the wife of Yellow Hawk, resting upon her elbow on the ground, and star? ing in the same direction that the other occu? pants of the tent were gazing. The man was inexpressibly terrified by the spectacle, and his first impulse was to run ; but there was some? thing so widely strange in their eyes and in the general expression of their features, that he was bound to the spot. Not a muscle of their faces moved, and they held their positions like statues?they were dead I It is presumed they were killed by lightning during the storm of the previous night; still there was no evidence that their death was caused in this manner. Their features bore an expression of intense fear, but there were no signs of the lightining's work about them, or about the tent. They were buried on the spot where they were found by the Indians.?Sioux City {Iowa) Times. Samples of tue Wit op the Late Geo. D. Prentice.?George D. Prentice was a man of gay and lively wit, high spirit, tolerable ed? ucation, and great readiness with the pen. In a less provincial atmosphere he might have dis? tinguished himself in literature. As it is, his book is made up of jokes, good, bad and indif? ferent?but all good enough to read as samples of what passed in their day for sharp wit. We give a few of them : About the only person that we ever heard of that wasn't spoiled by being lionized was a Jew named Daniel. An English writer says in his advice to a young married woman, "that her mother Eve married a gardener." It might be added that the gardener, in consequence of the match, lost his situation. Whatever Midas touched turned into gold. In these days, touch a man with gold and lie'll turn into anything. We are often told to imitate nature. Still, we should not imitate her too literally. We needn't dress in green velvet through the sum? mer because she does. "Is it possible, miss, that you don't know the names of some of your best friends?" "Cer? tainly?I don't even know what my own may be a year from now." A gentleman, if aggrieved, has a right to pull a blackguard's ears, but he should not cut them oil'. They should be left on for the ac? commodation of other aggrieved parties. An Old Account.?A rough looking speci? men of humanity was cruising through Chat? ham street, New York, not long since, when he came plumply upon a hook-nosed Jew, a speci? men of his race about whom there could be no mistake. Without a word of warning, the rough knocked him sprawling into a gutter. Picking himself up, and taking his "claret" faucet between his thumb and finger, de? manded an explanation. "Shut up, or I'll bast you again," said the aggressor approaching him. "I never done nodings mit you, und what for you mash me in ter nose?" asked Abraham. "Yes yer have; yer Jews crucified Jesus Christ, and I've a mind to go for yer agin."' "But, mine Cot, dat vash eighteen hundred years ago," said the Jew. "Wal, I don't care if it was?I only heard of it last night," replied the unwashed, again go? ing for his victim, who wisely went a trifle fas? ter in the same direction. ?
