Poor Prospects for the Crops.
MEMPHIS, June 1.-Gloomy reports of the
crops have been received from Pulaski, White,
Woodruff, and jackson counties, Ark. Owing
to the incessant rains and late frost the stand
of cotton is very poor, and many plantation have
been ploughed up and planted with cotton. The
Fort Smith Herald says the reports from coun-
ties of the mountains are gloomy enough, espe-
cially wheat, and it is doubtful if even the seed
can be saved.

Massacre In Algeria.
Malta Correspondence Of the London Times.
Accounts from Algiers to the 9th of May state
that the insurrection continues to rage as
fiercely as ever, and some dreadful massacres
had been perpetrated by the Arabs at belly,
Bougie and Paestro. At the aforementioned
village the whole male population, consisting
of 46 individuals, were murdered with the
greatest brutality and the women and children
carried off into the interior. 1t is satisfactory
to learn, however, that in almost every engage
ment with the French forces the kabyles have
been driven back with loss. The Italian iron
clad frigate Roma and Spanish iron clad Arpides
were in the neighborhood for the protection OF
the interests of Italian and Spanish subjects.
The English iron-clad Defense left Malta for
Algiers on the 9th inst.

PLEA FOR HELP.

Relief Asked for the PittstOn Sufferers.
This morning the Mayor issued the following
self-explanatory appeal
OFFICE OF THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF
PHILADELPHIA, June l, 1S71.--A terrible Gala
nifty has recently happened at Pittston, in the
interior of our State.
Whilst large number of poor men were en-
gagged in their laborious vocation as miners in a
coal shaft over 500 feet below the surface of the
ground, fire occurred at the mouth of the
shaft and the burning timbers falling in upon
them, many of the poor men met with a most
dreadful death, leaving their families destitute
and helpless.
The condition of their widows and orphans is
deplorable in the extreme, and their cry comes
to us in agonizing tones appealing for help.
Though we cannot restore to them those whom
they have thus lost, we may do something to
temporarily alleviate their sufferings.
Philadelphia has never turned a deaf ear to
the voice of distress, and feel assured that the
appeal now made will not be disregarded.
Any donations for the purpose left at this
Office will be promptly forwarded to the local
Committee of Relief at Pttston.

This gives a mean temperature for the month
of 66'25 deg, which is unusually high, but not
by any means the highest on record, as some
might have been led to expect. The average of
the mean temperature of the month Of May
since $780, or so years, has been 62'69 deg, and
since 1926 or AZ years, 60 '7S deg, thus making
the mean temperature of the month just closed

mean temperature on record for MAY was II

mean temperature of May 1870, was 65.2S deg,
or one degree only below that of the past
month. The highest point attained in May,
1870, was 81 deg, on the 21st, the lowest being

lowest 40 deg, on the 4th. During May 1870,
the thermometer stood at and over 70 deg. on
10 days, on of which it went above so deg.
during the past month IL went up to and above
20 deg. on 30 days, on 10 Of which it exceeded

IN.GROWING TOE NAILS.

This most painful of all the diseases of
the nails is caused by the improper man
ner of cutting the nail generally of the
great toe) and the wearing a narrow, bad
ly made shoe. The nail, beginning to
grow too long, and rather wide at the
corners, is trimmed around the corner,
which then gives temporary relief. But it
then begins to grow wider in the side
where it was cut off; and as the shoe
presses the flesh against the corner, the
nail cuts more and more into the raw flesh,
which becomes excessively tender and
painful If this state of things continues
long, the toe becomes more and more
painful and liberated. and fungus (proud
flesh) sprouts up from the sorest points.
Walking greatly increases the suffering,
until positive rest becomes indispensable.
Treatment We omit all modes OF
cutting out the nail by the root, and all
other cutting or torturing operations. Be
gin the effort at cure by simple applica-
tion, to the tender part, of a small quantity
of perchloride OF iron. 1t is found in drug
stores i'm a fluid form. though sometimes
in powder There is Immediately a mod
crate sensation OF pain, construction, or
burning. la few minutes the tender
surface is felt to be dried up. tanned. or
mummified. The patient, who before
could not put his foot to the floor. now
finds that he can walk upon it without
pain. BY permitting the hardened, wood
like flesh to remain for two OF three weeks,
it can be easily removed by soaking the
foot in hot water. A new and healthy
structure is found firm and solid below.
II thereafter the nails be no more cut
around the corners OF sides. but always
curved in across the.front end. they will
in future grow only forwards; and by
wearing shoe OF reasonable good size
and shape. all further trouble will be
avoided. Medical and Surgical journal.
