husband no stigma rested upon the fair fame
OF Mrs Wharton. 1t may be that his death.
and the sorrow occasioned by that painful
event, developed the insanity latent in her
nature It may be proper here to state that
her father more than once during her grlh0od
applied to physicians for authority to have her
confined In an insane asylum, her pranks and
ysgaries having destroyed his happiness and
impaired his fortune. Although medical men
believed her brain to be somewhat affected,
they could not pronounce her mad, her con-
versation being intelligent, her wit keen, and
her department In society unexceptionable.
All her friends, however, regarded her as
morally irresponsible, and CLOSED over her
peccadilloes because of this belief.
Mrs. Wharton may be criminal, but If she
be she is doubtless an insane one. No other
theory will account for her peculiar actions;
and the fact that the friends Of her youth
condemned her offences because of her sup
posed insanity should 60 far towards inducing
ajury to examine carefully, but conscientious
ly, all testimony that may be offered in proof
Of mental disease as opposed 70 voluntary
crime. If 1t could be proved that she Inherit
ed from her mother African blood, this should
tall greatly In favor Of the insanity plea, as 1t
is we'll known fact that the issue Of the
quadroon and white are more liable than
others to become insane. This at least has
been 80 frequently asserted that observation
has compelled recognition of Its truth. N.

RATAGES OF THE WORM.
Torrible Accounts from Georgia and the
Southwest.

A circular dated August 26th, from Messrs.
Epping & Hanserd, of Columbus-one OF the
most reliable firms In that section-glEes q
very gloomy account Of the cotton prospect.
It Is stated that caterpillars are devastating
the fields on both banks OF the Chattahoochee
River, thence to Florida. Their ravages as
vet have not been very great on the Georgia
side, where. however, the general condition
OF the crop is very poor. Thousands upon
thousands Of acres which last season produced
heavily, have nothing on them this year but q
stunted growth, stalks ten to twelve Inches high
with scarcely lateral branch, thus presenting
but little attraction to caterpillar. Picking has
commenced In some sections, chiefly on planta-
tlons, where rust has caused premature open
ing of bolls. Forward cotton on stiff lands,
which had been worked during the rainy sea-
son In Hay and June, is not well fruited, while
late cotton on prairie, canebrake and lime
lands, is now blooming and taking on fruit,
though the plant is still small and now IN
much danger of injury from caterpillar and
boil worm. Columbus the past year has re-
ceived $4,000 bales; the highest estimate for
the coming season do not exceed As 900.
AdvIces from Western Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana, announce that caterpillar,
army worm and boil worm are destroying the
cotton; and dispatches from Galveston state
that estimates Of the Texas crop Is reduced
fully one-thlrd on account Of raVages OF
worms.

Esq, writing from Allendale On the 26th,
says:
estimate that the acreage rate OF fertili-
zatlon and yield of cotton for 1901, In this
vicinity, will be approximately represented ~
1870 say 100 per cent; acreage of cotton for
1871 mol more than IS per cent. Rate Of fer
tIlization for 1870, say 100 per cent; rate Of
fertilization for 1871 not more than 20 per
cent. Yield for 1870, say 100 per cent; yield
for 1871 not more than go per cent.
the planters In the spring and early summer;
nevertheless the prospect was not q bad
one up to the 2lst of July. Then came cold
snap of several days, followed by drought,
an extremely hot .sun Of eighteen days In
some places, and twenty-five in others, which
brought all advanced cotton to stand.still,
and a state Of nudity from rust on oil hom.
mock and low lands. Even that on the clay
land which has retained Its leaves, Is dark OF
brownish from dead bolls and squares.
We are now undergolnga deluge Of rain for
the past twelve days, causing our later cotton,
upon which We had placed some hope, to shed
It's fruit rapidly.
The Yield of corn will be at least SO per cent.
greater than last year, and the promise foE
field peas Is very fine.
With the same price for cotton this season
as was realized last, we don't expect to make
much money, but will have plenty to eat the
ensuing year.

THE MYSTERY CLEARED UP.


A press telegram from New York last night,
says s'The mystery of the corpse found In q
trunk at the Hudson River depotis clearing
up. The truckman who brought it surrender
ed himself, and the police, acting on informa.
tlon given by him, have arrested an alleged
notorious abortionist, DR.. Joseph Rosenwig,
alias Asher, from whose house, 1t is stated, the
trunk was taken. The people attempt
ed to lynch the doc or as be was being
conveyed to the Tombs, and he was saved
with difficulty by the police. He denies
all knowledgeot of the affair: Rosenwig's house
has been thoroughly searched. The only clue
is some cast-off linen found In cellar. The
servant girl confessed to previous abortions
In the house. The district attorney thinks the
evidence against BosenwIg overwhelming.
The latest theory is that the girl was native
Of Platz, Poland, aged nineteen, niece of
Rosenwig, whom he ruined. The corpse was
undoubtedly taken from Rosenwig's house.
