I After causing several (lays of apprehension, discomfort and bluster the weather department treated Charleston yesterday to an October day and fall tern perature. The change was most welcome to everbody, and now the wise ones say : uThe cool week in August has arrived." The last vestiges of the West Indian cyclone disappeared yesterday, and there was only enough winu 10 maKe tilings agreeable. A. clear sky was overhead, but the sun's rays seemed tempered, and lor the first time in many weeks the shady side of the streets was not at a premium. Reports that come in from the sea island cotton and rice fields are to the effect that little or no damage has been done to the storm. From the Combahee, Savannah and Cooper River rice plantations the reports are that as most of the rice is yet standing the high tide did not hurt it. Usually these tropical storms find the ric* cut and stacked in the fields, and in this condition great damage can be done.

Two Hundred Infants to He liaised by Deaf Mutes on an Island W here Spoken Words are Unknown. A well known scientist is going to try and find the key to the language spoken in I'aradise. lie intends to find an island sotno where, at present uninhabited, and which possesses a good, healthy climate. This *he will colonize with 100 or 200 children under .he age of two years. These children will he 6olely n the care of deaf mutes, who ?an neither read nor write. No sound of the human voice will be illowed to reach these children. It is thought that the mode of communication which the children will adopt as they grow to maturity will give a clew to the original languarge used by man. They will bo furnished with all the comforts and advantages of modern civilization, save that they will not be allowed to hear the human voice. That this plan svill in a single generation give birth to a new language is open Lo discussion, but it will be necessary to confine this article solely to what the scientist purposes, and to leave the reader to speculate as to the outcome. The professor asserts that the TERF ^ AUGUST12871899T iRow 4bscluteky I M.( iL- * ? IiYiaMes uie 100a more a HQVAt lAKtWO W relationship which exists between all languages leads to the reasonable supposition that at one time there was but one common lan guage. We are told in sacred history that the whole earth was of one tongue, and that at the building of the Tower of Babel the tongue of the builders was confused in order that they might not understand one another's speech. What the original heaven-born tongue was it is believed was then lost. That it must have been the Bweetest language we can conceive there can be no question, j since our first parents were able to converse with their heavenly visitors. And there is no record that they were despoiled of their language upon their expulsion from Eden. The professor seems thoroughly enthused with this project, and believes that in his lifetime he will be able to give to the world a wonderful discovery. "If I can secure proper protective legislation I should prefer to locate my colony in the United States," he said. "There are several spots which would suit my purpose admirably. If that cannot be done I shall haye to locate somewhere upon an island in the east. This latter course would be the safer plan in one way, be cause it would enable me to insure against the sound of any human voice penetrating to the childish inmates of my colony, and also that no books, papers, writing or anything that would give them an inkling of a means of communication ever fall into their hands. "The countrv nrnvwle/l <Y?r J?*wa 'i,vl 1 residence will l>o well supplied with birds, animals and flowers, so that they will have every op portHnity of enjoying and studying natural history. This in itself will insure them a good foun dation for an education which shall be of their own inspiration, as it were. ' I have already 25 deaf mutes who are being trained under my care. What I now require is 100 good healthy babies between the ages of one and two years ; and 1 believe I shall have little difficulty in obtaining these, as there are many unfortunate mothers who will be glad to surrender their infants to my care when they know I can assure them a home in which their health and happiness are the lirdt consideration, and that every provision for their welfare in life will be made.

Mr. Editor :?Notwithstanding the floods in Texas, and drought in South Carolina, and other cotton growing States, and the decrease in cotton acreage the cotton speculators are determined to put down' the price of cotton. They estimate the crop at 12,000,000 bales, and on the publication of this estimate (made to order by Mr. Neill) the price declined CO points. The fact of decreased acreage, Hoods and drought, are ignored in this absurd estimate. Yet the buyers tlx prices in accord with such an estimate. The cotton planters should act in concert, and at once, to pre.vent being robbed ot their honest earnings. The cotton speculators know that the cotton crop is llHirtir-iirf.il fnr onnnlioo mnlrn " i'i'mvo ?w umrvD it. And that the merchant that furnished the supplies is compelled to have his money for supplies as the mortgages (or lines) become due to meet his own liabilities. Hence the cotton will be forced to sale regardless of price. The only relief is bonded warehouses in every market town, where cotton can be stored, and money drawn on warehouse certificates, which will enable the cotton planter to pay the merchant for supplies advanced, and hold his cotton until there is a legitimate demand for it from rv? onnfnotii PK b/\ -11 .i uiaiiuiavyi/Uivio.
