The facts seems well established that
certain articles, such as old apparel,
welldried wood, etc, are capable of
generating sufficient heat to induce
combustion without the application of
fire. We think that not few of the
numerous fires, supposed to be the
work Of incendiaries," are caused by,
perhaps, rag which had been used
with benzine by the frugal housewife
TO clean coat, or by the heat which
is known to be generated from articles
of silk, cotton, etc., shut up in a close
room.

says that the cotton reports for October
have not improved. The average of
September is not sustained in any state,
being for the first week in October 76
per cent, against so per cent. in Sep
tember. The injuries reported are
from rust, shedding of the bolls. and
prematurely cool weather in the north-
ern ATTITUDES; floods and inundations
in Florida and Georgia, and the boil
and army worm in portions of Missis-

losses by insects are not very serious

From present indications the crop viii

the remainder of the season unfavora-

The New York Tribune holds that

The New York Tribune holds that
the radical victory in Ohio, so TAR from
being a triumph for the administration,
was an anti-Grant victory. Says a
correspondent of that paper; at is
well known that Gen. Noyes was not
the presidents choice. He wanted Ben
Wade nominated as an Endorsement
of bis Santo Domingo policy, and for
that very reason the convention would
not nominate him, and chose a man
who had no 'entangling alliances with
the White House" The presidential
question, he adds, was carefully kept
out of the radical state convention, and
as carefully ignored in the canvass by
the radical orators. Nobody Showed
the bad taste and lack of good sense to
say in public speech that the chance
of Grant or any other man for the
presidential nomination next year
would be improved by a republican
victory in Ohio"
