Madame George Sand is an elderly lady
with peculiar physioguomy, face that at
tracts your attention Immediately. This
famous painter of the passions, the high
priestess of the free-love Sect is curious
study. Her physique does not betray her
age. Her hair is thick and dark, although
she is past slxty-fve, and is worn in puffed
bralds. Her forehead Is wide, but retreats,
while her eyes are very large, llmpid and
dark, suggesting the idea of absorption. She
has delicate, soft, white hand, that bestows
the gentlest sort of shake when you are in
troduced She dresses in heavy black silk
without trimmings; rich point lace collar
and cuffs of antique pattern relieve the SOM
berness. A black Cashmere shawl, bordered
with deep guipure iounce, was over her
shoulders, and neat cap, with tea rose on
top, completed her attire. Madame Sand sell
dom takes the initiative in conversation, but
when she speaks, torrents of eloquence flow
from her mouth in fine, round accents, lend
ing additional interest to any subject. She Is
great admirer OF jewelry, and deems "gold
turned from its true purpose when sent to the
mint, for such fafry-llke creatures can be ere
ated out of the metal"

In yours Of the 7th you desired statement
of the condition of the crops at this date, DC.
Since our last, as to our own and adjoining
counties-for we have not been much about
we may report that the all absorbing cotton
crop will probably turn out half crop; IN
other words, half of what it would have been,
II the season had been favorable. And ut least
half of it is now housed, and much OF that
ginned and in the hands of the merchants,
who seem anxious to buy, and no wonder, we
think. We're we O planter we would not

PEELED, as most of our small planters and far.
mers hereabouts, are for money is scarce anu
the demand pressing. AS it Is, so II goes, ike
hot cakes, for the benefit of spectators.
Corn will probably, on bottom lands, yield
an average crop, but on uplands not more
than one-third of fair crop for the land.
Looking to scarcity of forage next winter,
much of the corn on most upland farms has
been cut up at the roots, and stalk, blades, &c.,
cured for fodder; much better than pulling
and curing the few blades that such stalks
would have produced.
The pea, potato and turnip crop on upland
is almost an entire failure.
We have commenced sewing wheat, oats,
rye and barley. If seed sufficient can be pro,
cured larger space than usual will be devoted
to their culture to meet the threatening wants
of next spring and summer. We are plcaSeo
to see that many of our farmers are turning
their attention 10 the culture OF clover ana inc
grasses generally-an encouraging omen o.
our future prosperity as farmers, graZcrs and
stock raisers. Ours is not q planting country
by nature, and cotton we consider an intruder
