The Cotton Crop.

The Department Of Agriculture has
issued u circular setting for,h that the
cotton crop reports, purportlng to have
come from the Department of Agricul-
ture during the past month, have not
been genuine. The items in circulation,
often contradictory in tenor, and assum-
ing to be official, have had no origin in
the statistical data of that office. The
returns of september include reports
from about 4lo cotton-growcrs' counties,
representing n very large proportion of
the cotton area. Those for August
point an average condition of the crop
almost identical with that of the pre-
ceding reports the averages for Alabama
and Mississippi being the same, those of
Louisiana and Tennessee being lighter,
and those Of other Cotton States lower
The State averages of the September re-
port are somewhat lower than those Of
August, though the principal deplecia-
tion occurs in the States which yield n
small proportion of the crop, while the
reduction is slight in the important dis
trict represented by the States of Geor-
GA. Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisi-
ana. The percentage Of full condition
in the first week of September, rs
averaged from all the obtainabIe data,
is thus stated: North Carolina, 50 :;
South Carolina, so; Georgia, rs /;
Florida, 70 ; Alabama, 50 Mississippi,
80; Louisiana, II Texas, 81 Arkan-
sas, % Tennessee, 96. There are re-
ports of injuries by the boll-worm and
caterpillar, mainly in Mississippi and
Louisiana, but no evidence that a general
or very serious loss from insects is prob
able. Rust is common in the Atlantic
States, and to some extent on the Gulf
coast. Drouth has been injurious in the
Caroiinas and Texas, though the reports
of rainfdlls through the South indicate
a fair supply of moisture, the distr-
button of which has been somewhat
more unequal than usual. At one point
in Georgia the fall in August was nearly
II inches, and in parts of Florida it
amounted to 33 inches. The variable
atmoe heric conditions have increased
the prevalence of rust, and caused the
destruction of both leaves and fruit,
These drawbacks, though greater than
those repor' in September of last year,
are not suilic. atty serious to excite ap-
prehensions of a greatly deprecated
yield They are reported each year in
some portions of the cotton area. In
the records last year there was consider
able complaints of damages to the cotton
crop from rust, worms, and unfavorable
August weather. These facts do not
point to an enlargement of the expecta-
ton hitherto INDUCED in. If they are
trustworthy, the most favorable season
could scarcely bring a crop exceeding
3,3j0,000 bales. If the growing season
should he short or unfavorable, 5000,
600 bales, would be good result and
with "A combination of unfavorable cir
cumstances, the product might be still
further reduced.

TIE American Institute Fair.

The annual fairs of the American In
stitute seem now likely to be us regularly
held at the Empire Rink Third Avenue.
New York, ns they were in old times Mt
Castle Garden That is, they will be
held there until the Institute erects a
building for perpetual Industrial Ex-
hibition, for be it known that the drec-
tors have such a plan under considera-
ton, and although it can only he carried
out at an estimated C st of S2,0OO,0OO
the project seems to he in a fair way of
realization While this perpetual exhi-
bition is assuming definite shape and
approaching accomplishment, they are
contented to accommodate themselves
with the Rink, which is each year en-
larped for their accommod alton. The
original interior area of this building
was 81 go square feet To this 9,720
square feet were added in 1869, and a
similar amount IN 1870; and at least
-, 900 square feet of floor and gallery
have been added this year, TO meet the
increased demand for space. This last
increas,. has been made by extending
the building up to Third Avenue, which
involved the erection of n wooden adj
dition los feet deep by A. wide. forming
a spacious entrance and providing room
for suite of offices and a dining-room
on the ground floor, with an extensive
art gallery on the second floor.

own house, in the western part of Jackson
township, Mo. There were about sixty
persons engaged i'll the affair. They
tied a gag in his mouth, to prevent him
calling for help, and tied his hands Sc
curely behind him. The limb to which
he was hanged was more elastic than was
supposed, for 1t appears that when sns-

Russia aud Prussia.

"Thcrc seems to be something wrong
about the relations between the Russian
Court and that of Berlin. First, the
proposed meeting of the two Enperors
at Ems was not held. and now it seems
settled that the Emperor William will
not come to ST. Petersburg for the
autumn mmmuyres though his arrival
was looked forward t. as Il certainty.
There is unusual hustle, too, in military
quarters. On his return from Norway
the Czarwi'ch went straight to the camp
without calling at the palace. The mill
tly manGuvres have already begun, and
will be more expensive and prolonged
than was mt first intended. But the most
evident sign Of coolneSs toward Prussia
is the reappearanee of anti-Prussian
articles in the Russian press. Last
December, as ! wrote to you at the time.
the Chief Censor announced to the edi-
tors OF all the Russian newspapers that it
was the will of the Gar that all attacks
on Prussia in the Press should cease The
order was faithfully obeyed, and even
some journals which had formerly been
declared adversaries of Prussia went SO
lar as topublish articles setting forth the
advantages of Russo Prussian alliance,
Directly the Car returned froll his

Gdios, which is known to be inspired by
General Milutyn, the Minister OF War,
openly declares in its nns.> her Of the Sd
inst. that the policy of Prussia is danger
ons to the very existence of the Russian
empire The events of the last ten years,
it says, prove that during the whole of
that time Prussia has had one leading
principle of action-that of securing an
ally before war and breaking the alll-
ance as soon as it is victorious. In lS62
she entered into an eternal alliance with
Austria against Denmark, aud in 1866
She concluded n similar alliance with
Italy against Austria. In 1870 she made
friends with Russia, and now that she
has gained a victory which she owes
almost entirely to Russia's conservative
policy she is endeavoring to form an alll-
ance with Austria against us.

PETROLEUM The industrial ses and
applications of petroleum, i'll addition to
its vast consumption az an illuminating
material, continue to multiply almost
indefinitely. 1t is stated that Mr.
HauSel, architect at Neustadt, Grand
Duchy of Hessen, being Unexpectedly
in need of some tracing paper on a GER
tam occasion IN small VILLAGE, where
none could be obtained, thought of using
As substitute ordinary writing paper
saturated with petroleum by means OF a
brush. The effect was a surprising sue
cess. 1t did not take him more than
four or five minutes to paint sheet OF
writing paper with petroleum and to
wipe it off till it was dry. He thus OBJ
tained an excellent tracing paper, on
which he could write and print just as
easily us if it had not been subjected to
any such PROGRESS. Drawing paper, also,
when impregnated with pretoleum, be-
comes sufficiently transparent to he used
for tracings. Since Mr.. Hausel made
this discovery, he has entirely abandoned
the use of manufactured traclng-p paper,
preferring the quality of the article thus
treated with petroleum.

ceedinglv rare, as might be expected.
Alice Cary use d to receive from twenty
dollars upwards for her short poems,

the same rate. Sheppard, and writer's
of his class, for the weekly papers, were
generally satisfied with ten or fifteen
