Many stories are told of Sotherft's original methods of entertaining bis friends at dinner, and possibly the most amusing Is that of tbe belated guest When, late In the dinner, this friend was announced, Mr. Sothern exclaimed, "Let us all hide under the table," and down they all went Bave Mr. Sothern himself, who remained seated. When the tardy guest entered, Mr. Sothepn rose and received him with exquisite courtesy, saying, "When your^name was announced, my guests, for some unaccountable season, all bid under the table." After a few moments of discomfort one by one they crept out and back to their seats. I heard from both Mr. Sothern and Mrs. Vincent this account of an ,out* burst of fun at a dinner given by him In his parlor at the Revere' Honse: As the guests, ten In number, were gath cnu uuvui. ium upuu uro ueiore ainner a stoat, pompous waiter, afflicted with. short breath, added the- last toucnies to hhf dinner table, already spread. Teif large, square pieces of bread were .. placed with mathematical precision one at each plate, and then he left the room to bring Hie wine. Mr. Sothern saw his opportunity and, calling big. dog, cried: "Tiger, the bread! Quieh^ Tiger!" And the nimble little grayhound bounded lightly upon the table again and again as he heard his master's Imperative "Fetch the bread*!" ^ - - until each piece had been removed to ** a dark cortier near, the Are. Upon the waiter's return all was silence. The expectant look upon Mr. Dothefn's face showe^ only that dinner iras awaited.' Standing for a moment, Dewllftered, the waiter,* seeing no bread Upon the table, hesitatingly turned fo the door, then retraced his steps to the table, examined It carefully and hurriedly left the room. He soon reappeared wHh a fresh plate of bread, and again at each plate a piece was carefully placed, and he retired with* the empty plate. "Quick, Tiger! Fetch It again! More bread! More brea^l'.' , And once more each piece wa9.vt&-? moved before the grave waiter reappeared, and all were again silent. One look at the table and one at the guests, and there remained no doubt. Those poor, hungry actors bad eaten It! With a look of contempt he announced dinner, and after all. were eafely seated at the table he btauaht a third plate of bread and with,a-forK placed it, with a gestnre of scorn, piece by piece for each person and for the host. The merry scene soon disarmed bis hostility, and before the evening wns over the bread in the corner Svas revealed.?Mrs. Lucy Derby Filer |n Q?i,fury.

Crop reports indicate that there will be a fair average crop of cotton, but with no probability of a record* dreaking yield. The worlds consumption of cotton during the past season has been fully 10,700,000 ba'es, and this has left the markets nearly bare of old cotton. The consumption of cotton will be greater the coming year than in tha* just closed, so that a crop of 11,000,000 bales will barely meet the worlds needs, and should be sold at good prices. Thus, notwithstanding too mnch rain hero and too little there, the South is certain to be well up in the prosperity procession with her surest and best of all rcady-monev crops bringing in cash four or fire hundred million dollars, and with hogs, cattle and sheep fattening in increasing numbers in almost every section of every State. As long as Southern farmers hold tast to that which is good; in other words, cotton, and at the same time keep a vigilant eye on the garden, the orchard and the poultry yard, tl ? hog-pen, the sheepfold and the cattl. range, nothind can prevent them from becoming more and more pros perous as the years roll by.?Home and Farm.
