. Cotton has long since ceased to be king among the crops of the country at large, and there ia a probability that it will soon lose the scepter even in the South. Other crops have proven to be far more profitable, and they arc gradually gaining on cotton in the contest for supremacy. Statistics pi the value of the different products of the soil per acre shows that cotton in South Carolina was worth $12, while Irish potatoes were worth $S8, or over seven times as much, These are figures for 1886. Doubtless a comparison in other States and with ether crops would show cotton to a disadvantage also. The production of cotton, however, has not materially fallen off in the past few years, nor is there a r robability that it will in the near future There will be an increase in the acreage of other crops, and a diversification of products will be brought about, without which no country can be permanently prosperous. The number of miles of railroad actually laid down in the United States during 1SS6 exceeds the record of any previous year except 1SS1 and 1882, and aggregates $,010 miles, bringing the total trackage of the United States up to above 137,000 miles. Much of this consists in paralleling of track by competing companies, which is -little less than insane. For example: The State o Kansas, which at the close of 1885 had 4,441 miles, has received 1,520 miles of new track during 1886$ great corporations reckless by running spurs and feeders into each others territory, in order to be able to force terms. There are more roads between St. Paul and Chicago than are needed to do five times the business, yet a new road has been built during the past year, and at least two more are in process of incubation or erection; the Atchison has decided to build from Kansas City to Chicago, while there are already four or five times as many facilities as are requisite to the business. The St. Paul is building another line to Kansas City, and it looks as though every railway corporation in the Northwest meant to.have.its own line between the Missouri river and Chicago. Next after Kansas in the past year's building, rank Nebraska 737 miles, Dakota 678, Minnesota 586, and Texas 543. These States, with Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Florida, have added 5,528 miles. Georgia, Mississippi and the Carolinas have added 570 miles. California, Oregon and Washington Territory have added 462 miles. ;

The Hon. John Y. L. Findlay, of Maryland, has introduced a bill in Congress (H. E. 10,285) to prescribe the standard silver for certain coins, to make the half dollar full legal tender and to permit the issue of certificates on it, and to regulate the purchase and coinage of bullion, which is a sort of compromise between the views of those who are contending for the cessation of coinage and those who desire the mints thrown open. The notable feature of the bill is that it establishes the amount of the aggregate silver coinage at seven dollars per capita.' This would allow $176,000,000 additional- coinage, making

-tTTa total silver coinage about SoOO.000,-

00, thus preventing an indefinite and perpetual increase! The bill also pro-

vides tnat wnenever jEiUguuiu una, me other nations of " Europe open their minis to the free coinage of silver at the rate of 16 to 1, the United States mints shall be thrown open. It is -quite safe to say that the people of the South and West will not allow the present system to be broken down or changed in any manner. It is reasonably safe and its practical results are not disliked by business men. The present system adds 28,000,000 silver dollars to the circulation each year; but the most of it is evi dently going to be absorbed in the treasury vaults as security for certificates, and so long as people clamor for this, as they evidently do, the theoreti-

vent it.' Polities cannot be divorced from facta with safe consequences to the politicians. IiATE NEWS ITEMS.

THERE COMES A TIME.

TheTe comes a time when we grow old, And like a sunset down the sen Slope gradual, and the night winds cold Come whispering sad and chillingly; And looks like gray . .. A winter's day,. And eyes of sadrtest blue behold The leaves all weary. drift away, And lips of faded coral say, There comes a time when we grow old. There comes a time when joyous hearts, Which Waned as leans the laughing main, Are dead to nil save memory. As prisoner in his dungeon chain; And dawn of day ; Hath passed away, The moon hath into darkness rolled, And by the embers wan and gray, . I hear a voice in whisper say, There comes a tune when we grow old. There comes a time when manhood's prime Is shrouded in the mist of years, And beauty, fading like a dream, Hath passed away in silent tears; And then how dark! ......... But, oh ! the spark That kindled youth to hues of gold. Still burns with clear and steady ray. And fond affections, lingering, say, There comes a time when we grow old. There comes a time when laughing spring And golden summer cease to be, And we put on the Autumn robe, To tread the last declivity; But now the slope, With rosy hope. Beyond the sunset we behc Id Another draw with fairer light, While watchers whisper through the night, There comes a time when we grow old. F. B. Plimpton.

"I guess I never told ye 'bout my fust deer hunt, an I'll tell it tew ye now,and I'd jest as leaves ye'd print it as not ef ye want tew," said Dr. Banty Hull, the famous "ager" doctor of Carbondale, Pa., the other day. "I wa'n't into Wayne county and settled on the Panpack more'n forty years ago, fur I never seen a deer down where I was raised. 'Fore I'd lived there long Jeff Bostwick told me some almighty exeitin' yarns 'bout huntin' deer over on the ridge, an' ev'ry time I heerd him tell 'em I'd git waked up so mucti that I wanted tew larn more 'bout the run than he could tell me. I didn't take as much stock in some of Jeff's yarn's as I made him believe I did, but I hankered f ur a hunt myself, an' so, when Jeff give me an invitation late in the fall of '44 tew go over on the mountain an' hunt deer with him fur a hull day, I was tickled half to pieces, but I didn't let him know it. "There was a nice snow on the ojoun' when the day irrovc forme an' Jeff tew start out fur deer. I was feelin' a leetle out o' kilter when Jeff an' his noun' got tew my house airly that mornin', but as I'd told Jeff th day before that I'd go, I wa'nt goin' tew back out ef it took a leg. Wal, JefTn I'n the dog started out a leetle after sunrise am made tracks fur th mountain, where Jeff 'd said he'd killed more'n a hundred deer. On the way over Jeff told me all 'bout runways, an' how the deer would frisk 'round as soon as they seen the dog was on their tracks, and thinks, sez I, 'taint no use fur me tew know much more 'bout deer-huntm' than' Jeff's ben tellin' me. But I foun' out furder on in the day that Jeff didn't tell me one or tew things I ought tew 've know'd. I calculated Jeff'd be square with me 'cause I was a greenhorn hunter, an' I didn't s'pose he'd play any tricks on me-but never mind that now. "I hed a plaguey good sort of musket that I'd brung with me from my hum in Jersey, an' I'd polished an' iled it till it was slick as a whistle, an' I kinder thought I'd open Jeff's eyes a leetle ef I got any kind of a chance to pint it at one o' them air deer Jeff'd ben a bellerin' so much 'bout. "Wal, arter we'd got in the woods an' Jeff'd put the houn' on a track, he showed me a runway, an' then he said: 'Now, Banty, you stan' right in the middle o' that runway, an' don't leave it fur a minute. The deer'll come down in this way. and when he pits close 'nough fire at him. I'll go over on that air hill vender an' stan' on that runway, an' ef I hear you shoot 'fore I see any deer, I'll run over an' see what kind o' luck ye've hed.' , - "So I got right in th' middle o' th' runway, 'cordin' to Jeff's orders' an' Jeff trudged off tew find his standin's spot, burin' th' nex' hour I could hear th' dog a yellin', now in one direction an' then in 'nother, up on the bj)l 'boye me now, an 'way down in the' valley a few minutes later, an' all this time I stood

-right in th' rriddie of th' runway an' jest

trembled, 'cause I was afraid I might miss the deer ef I got a shot at him. I was a tarnel sight more anxious to kill a deer so's tew let Jeff know I could shoot a leetle than I was tew murder an innercent animal for his meat, an' so I kep' up courage an' waited. I'd ben there nigh on to three hour, when Jeff come near 'nough to ask me if I'd seed any Aecr yet, an when I told him I had't he apoke a few cheerin' words an' went 'way. It was as $)Jfired cold day fur that time o' th' year, an' stand in' still in that one spot made me numb all over. But I was grftty and tough in them days, an' I made up my misUew stan' there till dark 'fore I'd give in. t:I could see by the sun it was a good ways after noon when I heerd th' houn' a-yelpjn' way up on th' hill 'bove where I was: He'd been up an' down so many time3that I didn't .count on his scarin' any deer down my way jest them My fingers" were like so many clothes-pins, they'd got so cold, an 90 I laid down th' muskit, took off my mittens, 'an' slapped my fingers agin my body to limber 'em up a little. Jest as I was pickin' up my gun agin J heerd a rattlin' of lioofsin th' runway right 'boe wje, an' when I looked up there was a strappin' Jvig buck deer arip4n7 for "?e at a rate .that made

me shiver wus'n evev Tfee 'vay ie was

bcarin' down on me je3t paralyzed ine through an' through, an he 'poured as big as Jn' elephant. His head was throwed 'wa-y l;clc, his big horns stuck out on both sides, arf see me

nbrnotijja1 etee. It wasn't fite seconds:

fum ,th' time ius seen th' buck till he banged agin me; knqekin' i;e?nd over end two or three rtods down th hill. fi'iie

gun flew out o my hancjs, struck agin a

rock, an jrent off. As good luek would have it, th' muzzle was p'inted down the hill directly at the runnin' buck, an', by Jhunder, as trne as I'm lookin' you in the eve tb is very minute the .bullet an'

iyo buckshots hit the deer right bacfe o' tiie foyrsd leg, an' killed him in his;

tracks. He wet bead oyer heels when the shot struck him, but ha n.eyer got on his heels arter that. "I pieked myself up quicker' n a flash, brushed qff my clothes, picked up my

gun, and run down tew where th' dead buck laid. Jeff heerd th' shot an' hurried over there. , He was a sleepishlookin' felier when he seen me a-leanin' oyer th' buck. He was a-laffin' out loud 'fore ho'd got near enough tew see th' dead deer; but he raffed out o' t'other corner of bis mouth a little later. Jeff'd a put me in the middle 0' th' runway to git knocked over, don't yo see? An' when he seen 3 M .killed a deer as slick as grease lie wa$ so discomboberated he couldn't speak. The joke was on Jeff, but it was live year er more 'fore I told him 'zaetty how th' deer met his death, an' then he wouldn't believe mo. It was the peculiarest way oi; killing a deer Fv heerd of an' I wouldn't' Ye believed it myself ef I hadn't ben there an' seen it done." 1 The Wearing of the Silk Gown. N. X. World. When Justice Miller related this story I asked him to give me his opinion about the wearing of the gowns. Did he think that they were necessary to the dignity of the court, and did he not think that it woulr! be much more in accordance with li e simplicity of our republican institutions to have them done away with. He said that this was a subject to which he had given a great deal of thougbt and ho he made an elaborate reply. ; He said: "In nearly all; countries on

the face of the globe l here ; is a certain

amount of respect paid Jo the exercise of power and authority. Iii. some countries outward symbols were; necessary to preserve popular respect for the instruments of that power. I . doubt very

mucn wneiner a i'rencn policeman or judicial officer could command the same respect in plain clothes than he could in a uniform. I do not think that our police officials cculd command the same respect without their badges and evidences of office. Now the Anglo-Saxon people are the only people on the face of the earth who have much respect for law in the abstract, and for men because they simply represent the law. Other nations have it in a meaisure, but such is the respect of the Anglo-Saxon mind for abrtract law that I teiieve that the future development of the world depends largely upon the predominance of the Anglo-Saxon element. If the Socialists and proletariat of foreign countries are permitted to overthrow the AngloSaxon element here then we are gone. If we had predominant in this country at the present time the Puritan element, the devotion to one idea as represented in the Anglo-Saxon type, then I feel quite certain if the judges sat upon the bench in plain clothes they would exercise as much influence as they ought to. The judges of the Supreme court represent pure law. Through them all law, except that pertaining to the operation of the Executive Department, is forced The people should be encouraged to have the highest respect for this court, for its members are the most helpless except as they have the confidence of the people. The judges have no army, no patronage and no control over the Nation's purse. There bas crept into this country from abroad a lowering of respec t for official life, a tendency to lesson the respect due to those who are called to assume responsibilities of official station. While I would not inaugurate it I do not think that it would be wise to discard the gown. There is no man who is acquainted with the human nature who does not understand the eflect of that outward presence and dress in inspiring respect for high office. I am therefore against making any change at the present time." Stingy Wheeler's Way. Chicago Herald. "Funny ..thing occurred down at our house Christmas," said the brakeman. "I'm away almost every night hi the year, but Christmas night I got a lay-oil and stayed home with the wife and babes. Next door to us lives one of the stingiest old codgers that ever was. Wheeler is his name, and everybody calls him Stingy Wheeler. He is an old chap who has no chidren and no friends, and who is said to be worth a good deal of money. I've had a good deal or sickness in my house this winter, and times have boon right hard with us. It was mighty little Christmas we . had, I can tell you. . '"Well, there's one thing we can say, Henry,' said my wife to me, and that is that our house is not hard to warn. It beats all, the way coal does last us here. That haif-von you got a month ago isn't nearly all gone yet.' 'That's the wray pqal lasts when there's nobody to steal it, as we had where we lived last I replied. 'Now there's only one man in this neighborhood I'd saspect of staeling coal and that's Slingy Wheeler. I wouldn't trust that old codger very far.' " Neither would 1,' said my wife, "That night after we had got in bed my wife woke me, saying she was sure she heard some one in the cohl-house. t('I believe it's old Wheeler,' I said. " 'So do I,' my wife replied; 'but, be careful, Henry, and don't get into any trouble with the old skinflint,' she added as I hastily dreased myself. "Softly I tiptoed out to the coal-house and sure enough there was a man there, hard at work with a shovel It was Stingy Wheel ejr, and he was throwing coal from his bin into mine!"

Kev. Dr. Talmage preached at tho Brooklyn Tabernacle last Sunday. Subject, "Broken Pieces oi tne Ship." Text: Acts xxxii, 44. He said: Never ofl Goodwin Sands, or the Ekerries, or Cape Hatteras was a ship in worse predicament than in the Mediterranean hurricane was the grain ship, on which two hundred and seventy-six passengers were driven, on the coast of Malta, live miles from the me tropolis of that island called Citta Vecchia. After a two weeks tempest, and the ship was completely disabled and captain and crew had become completely demoralized, an old missionary took command of the vessel. He was small, crooked-backed and sore-eyed,according to tradition. It was PaulJ the onl nnscared man aboaid. Ho was no more afraid of a. Eurociydon tossing the Mediterranean! Sea, now up to the gates of heaven, and now sinking it to the gates of hell, than he was afraid of a kitten playing with a string. He ordered them all down to take their rations, first asking for them a blessing. Then he insured all their lives, telling tnem that they would be rescued, and, so far from losing their heads, they would not lose so much of their hair as you could cut off with one click of the scissors; aye, not a thread of it, whether if were gray with age or golden with youth. "There shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you." Knowing that they can never 'get to the desirftd port, they make the sea on the fourteenth night black with overthrown cargo, so that when the ship strikes it will not strike so heavily. At daybreak they saw a creek, and in their exigency resolved to make for it. And so they cut the cables, took in the two paddles that they had on these old boats, and hoisted the main sail so, that they might come with such force as to be driven high on the beach by some fortunate; billow. Crash! went the timbers, till, the seas rushed through from side to side of the vessel. She parts amidships, and into a thousand fragments th vessel goes and into the waves two hundred ami seventy -six immortals are precipitated. Borne of ihem had been brought up on the sea shore and had learned to swim, and " with their chins just above the waves, and by a stroke of; both arms and a propulsion of both feet they put out for the beach and reached it. But alas for those others' They have never learned to swim, or they were wounded by the falling of the mast , or the nervous shock was too great for them. And others have been weakened bv long seasickness. Oh, what will become of them! "Take that piece of a rudder," says Paul to one. "Take that fragment of a spar," says Paul to another. "Take that table." "Take that image of Castor and Pollux." "Take that plank from the life-boat." "Take anything and head for the beach." What a struggle for life in the breakers! Oh, the merciless waters, how they sweep over the heads of men, women and children! Hold on there! Almost ashore, keep up your courage! Remember what Paul told you. There, the receding wave on the beach leaves in the sand a whole family. There crawls up out of the surf the centurion. There another' plank comes in with a life cling

ing fast to it. There another piece of j

the shattered vessel with its freightage of an immortal soul. They must by this time all be saved, "Yes; there comes in last of all, for he had been overseeing the rest, the old missionary, who wrings the water from his gray beard and cries out: "Thank God, ail are here!" Having on previous occasions looked at the othn passengers, I con line .myself to-day to an examination of those who came in on broken pieces of the ship. There Is something about them that excites in me an intense interest. I am not so much interested in those that could svim. They got ashore, as I expected. A mile of water is not a great undertaking for a siromz swimmer, or even two miles are not. But i cannot stop thinking of those on broken pieces

01 tne snip, xne ereat vjrosnei sinn is

the finest vessel of the universe, and can carry more passengers than any craft constructed, and you could no more wreck it than 3011 could wreck the throne of God Almighty. I wish all the people would come aborad of her. I could not promise a smooth voyage for oftimes it will be the tempestuous or a chopped sea, but I could promise safe arrival for all who took passage on that Great Eastern, so called by me because its commander came out of the east, and the star of the east a badge of his authority.. But I a vast multitude do not take regular passage. Their theologies broken in pieces, and their life is broken in pieces, and their wordly and spirit na! prospects are broken in pieces, and yei I believe they are going to reach the shining shore, and i am encouraged h the experience of those people who arc spoken of in the text: "Some of the broken pieces of the ship." One object in the sermon is to encourage all those who can not ta lie the whoi; system of religion as we believe it, but who really believe something, to com ? ashore on that one plank. 1 do not underrate the value of a great theological system, but where in all the Bible is there 'anything that says; Believe ia John Calvin and thou shalt be saved; cr believe in Armintus and thou shalt be saved, or believe in the Synod of D01I and thou shalt be saved; or believe in the twenty-nine Articles and thou sha i be saved? A man may be orthodox ami go to hell,or heterodox and go to heaven. The man who is in the deep affection of his heart accepts Christ is saved, and the man who does not accept Him is lost, j I believe in both the Heidelberg and Westminster catechisms, and I wish you all did, but you may believe in nothing they contain except the one idea tli.it Christ came to save sinners, and thit you are one of them, and you are instantly rescued. H you can come in on the grand old ship I would rather have you get aboard, but if you' can only find a piece of wood as long as the human body, or a piece as wide as the outspread human arm3, and either of ' them is a

piec-ii 01 tne cross, come m on tnat nieise

I floundered a lone u'itita in the sea of

! sin and doubt, and it ivas as rough as j the Mediterranean oil the fourteenth j night, when they threw the grain overJ board; but I saw there was mercy for a sinner, and that plank I took, and I j have been warming myself by the j bright tiro on the shore for three decades, i While I am talking to another man j about his soul he tells me: "t do not

become a Christian beca use 4 (1 nt believe there is any bell at all," Ah! don't you? Do all the people, of all beliefs and no belief at alt, of good morals and bad morals, go straight to a 'happy heaven? Do the holy and the debauched have the same destination? At midnight in a hallway the owner of a house and a burglar meet each other, and I hoy both fire and both are wounded; but the burgkr died in five minutes and the owner of the house lives a week after Will the burglar be at the gate of heaven waiting when the house owner comes in? Will the debauchee and the libertine go right in among the families of heaven? I wonder it Herod is playing on the banks of the River of Lite with the children he massacred. I wonder if Charles Guiteau and John Wilkes Booth are up there shooting at a mark. 1 do not now controvert it, although 1 must, say that for such a miserable

heaven J have '-o admiration. But the Bible does no- ?y: "Believe in perdition and be seved." Because all are paved, according 10 your theory, that ought not to keep you from loving and serviug Christ. Do not refuse to conm ashore because all the others," according to your theory, are going to get ah:re. You may have a different t henry about chemistry, about astronomy, about the atmosphere, from that which others aiopt, but you are not therefore hindered from action. Because your theory of lignt is different from others, do not refuse to open your eyes. Because your theory of air is different, do not refuse to breathe. Because your theory about the stellar system is different." you do not refuse to acknowledge the" North Star. Why should the fact that your theological theories are different hinder you from acting upon what you know? If you have not a whole ship fashioned in the theological dry-docks to bring you w harfage, you have at least a glank: "802&G on broken pieces of the ship." But I don't believe in revivals!" fThen go to your Foom, and all alone with your door locked, give your heart to God and join some "church where the ihermomenter never gets higher than fifty in the shade. "But I do not believe in baptism!" Come in without it, and settle that matter afterward' 4But there are ?o many inconsistent Christians!" Theucofiiein and show them by a good example how: professors oug.t to act. "But I don't believe in the Old Testament!" Then come in on the New. "But I don't like the Book of Romans!" Then come in on Matthew or Luke. Refusing to come to Christ, whom you admit to be the Savior of the lost, because you can not admit other things, you are tike a man out there in that Mediterranean tempest and tossed in the Melita breakers, refusing to come ashore until he can mend the pieces of the broken ship. I hear him say: I won't go in on any of these planks until I know in. what part of the ship they belong. When I can get the windlass in the right place, and the sails set, and that keel-piece where .it belongs, and that floor timber right, and these ropes untangled, I will go ashore. 1 am an oki sailor and know all about ships for forty years, and as soon as I can get the vessel afloat in good shape I will come in." A man drifting by on a piece of wood overhears him and sayS: 41 You will drown before you get that ship reconstructed. Better do as I am doing. I know nothing about ships, and never saw one before I came on board this,anu I can not swim a stroke, but I am going ashore on this shivered timber." The

man in the offing while. trying to mend-J his ship goes down. The man who trusted

to the plank is saved. C, mr brother,!

let your smasheu-up system of theology go to the bottom while you come in -on a splintered snarl Come in on that one narrow beam t he beam of the cross. Let all else go and cling to that. Put that under you, and with the eagerness of a swimmer struggling for his life put out foi shore. There is a great warm lire of welcome already built, and already many who were as far out as you are standing in its geni al and heavenly glow. The angels of God's rescue are wading out into the surf to clutch your hand, and they know how exhausted you are, and all the redeemed prodigals of heaven are on the

Grlffitlis, from the committee on eleetions, pre

sented a very lengthy report hv the contested

election case of Henry Clay Diekerson against

Cornelius Mcagber, which presented ' a comprehensive and exhaustive discussion of the case. It

sets forth at length the faots . regarding the elec

tion of Mr. Meagher to the ofilec of justice df, the peace iu Harrison township, Vigo county, his

qualification aud the certificate of office which he recorded, and the constitutional provision that a person elected to a Judicial office can not be

eligible to another office during the term for

which he was elected. That a justice of the peace

is a judicial as well as a constitutional oflace, and the committee gave reasous for their belle that the fact tha.t Mr. Meagher . did not

attempt to discharge , the duties of

bis office did not make him any the less ineligible to any other office. They concluded that the action of the board of commissioners of Vigo county in incrersing the number of justices to live was legal and yaUil, and. the action oi the board n afterward decreasing tbe number to. the live could not affect the rights of the eoutestee to the office of justice. The report also discussed the right of the eontesior, Mr. Diekerson, to . the scat to. which they found Mr. Meagher ineligible The committee then! recommen4ed that Mr. Diekerson be declared elcl to ihc f eat occupied by Mr. Meaghe THo minorhy of the comuittee oo argued the cage at great length, rinding that Meagher wis clearly entitled to thereat, aud thtaaMekerson had no rights in the case.
