The Crops of the South.

D. The Columbus Gal Enquirer of July 2ith
says:
From all parts of the Southeast of the
Mississippi River comes the welcome re-
port that such fine crops of corn have not
been seen for many years, If ever before
The wheat crop. already gathered, has
turned out above the average, and the pea
and potato crops are promising. The cot
ton crop has vet difficulties and perils TO
encounter, and Is not now in condition
promising a very large yield. We have
seen. however, by the experience of the
last Few years, that a small general crop
will sell for nearly as much money as a
larger one, and we may. therefore, con-
graduate our planting friends on the fact
that the crop will probably rring them in
the neigh borhoOd of two hundred mill
lions of dollars, whether the whole crop be
100000 bales at Sl30 per bale or 20OJ,00
bales at 500 per bale, or 100000 bales at
$40 per bale. ~w sr..,HT 4AsF fs 8 sssEr
1t is, happily, not the amount of the
general cotton crop that the planters now
depend upon, but the extent of the food
crops by which the planters can save the
outlay for provisions and thus realize a
clear profit from cotton. And smiling
Providence, more wi e than human greed
or short-sightedness, has this year gra-
ciously given azr abundance OF the pro-
du cts that constitute the real wealth aud
Independence of the people, and left yet in
an uncertain state the crop that will bring
about the same amount of money. whether
il be large or small. At ttl 1A -

A COLORADO LOCAL DESCRIBES BALL
The scene "was last night brilliant with
the light of beauty's eyes and booming
with the sound Of Babcock's brazen instru-
ments.". One gentleman wore broadcloth
from top to toe, barring the boots. Another
was the cynosure Of all eyes, wearing a
cameo ring on his left little. finger, and
having the cuffs of his shirt held in the
loving embrace of mother of pearl. Another
wore a shirt of Irish linen that had Just
been ironed, and impaired very unique
appearance his pumps-what name
were genuine rights and lefts. Miss Blank
was there, with an aggravating eye, which
was as cute as it was soft and as soft as
twas cute. She wore No. 3 high-heelers.
Another belle, who walked in beauty like
the night, was decked in a pair of pink
streamers and point-lace handkerchief
which was hemmed on a sewing machine
and had her name on the corner in indeli-
bic ink.

ADVICE To MARRIAGEABLE GIRLS. -
Punchs Pocket Book contains the follow
ing from the pen of single woman OF
the world -: off man wipes his feet on
the door mat before coming into the room,
YOU may be sure he will make good do
nestle husband. If q man, in shutting the
candles. puts them out, you may be sure
he will make stupid husband. If a man
puts his handkerchief on his knees while
taking his tea, you may be sure he Will be
prudent husband. In the same way, al
WAYS mistrust the man who will not take
the last piece of toast, but prefers wait
ing for the next warm batch; it is not I'M
likely he will make a greedy, selfish hus-
band, with whom you will enjoy no brown
at dinner, no crust at tea, no peace what
ever at home. The man, my dears, who
wears goloshes, and is careful about wrap
ping himself up before yenturing into the
night air, not unfrequently makes good
invalid husband, that mostly stops at home,
and is easily comforted with slops. The
man who watches the kettle, and prevents
il boiling over, viii not fail, my dears, in
his married state, in exercising the same
care in always keeping the pot boiling.
The man who doesn't take tea, ill-treats
the cat, takes snuff, and stands with his
back to the fire, is brute whom | would
not advise you, my dears, to marry upon
any consideration, either for love or
money; but most decidedly not for love.
But the man who, when tea is over, is dis
covered to have had none, is sure to make
the best husband. Patience like his de-
serves being rewarded with the best of
wives and the best of mothers-in-law. My
dears, when you meet with such man, do
your utmost to marry him. In the severest
winter he would not mind going to bed
first

lSoPRANos.-The New York Evening Gd-
zette has a capital article ION the various
styles of sopranos who sing at our churcnes'
and, thus photographs the most offensive
and perhaps best known class of all
laA very numerous class, alack! is that
for which wecan devise no more expressive
and truthful title than that of the impu-
dent soprano. This creature usually sings
with energy, vigor, and often with good
taste, and is popular with the congregation.
In the choir, however, she is Bosom OF
destruction. To be associated with her
there ia to be tied up in coffee bag with
6 scorpion. She knows, in her own opinion,
far more than anybody else in the choir.
She wants 10 sing all the solos, and is bitter
and undesirable to every singer who at
tempts Gle. As to other sopranos, she is
pitiless. fShe was never known to say q
kind word to any professional sister.
"Sho refuses to sing the music selected
for her by the chCri5ter; and if he insists,
she declares he is no gentleman. Then
she runs with garbled story to the minis
ter or music committee, and assumes the
air OF injured innocence generally.
She is generally spoken of as a Tartar,
which is an unjust aspersion upon remote
and comparatively inoffensive people OF
Asia. She affects great intimacy with
the clergyman and his family. By her
constant efforts at predominance in the
choir she acquires masculine and for
ward style of behavior, which she mistakes
for dignifed independence. She thinks
the other singers are intended by Provi-
dance ne arcomnanyists to her own singing,
and is vehemently opposed to singing any
music not calculated to show off her own
ability. She is altogether mysterious
dispensation of Providence-lke mosque
toes, smallpox, or the income tax"
