Cotton in South Carolina.

CHARLESTON, September 12.-Ac-
counts coming in from all sections OF
this State continue to show that the
continuous rains for the past week are
very disastrous to the cotton growing
on the Sea island. The expected
yield has been cut off by the untavora-
BILE weather at least one. half, and
from the interior States the report OF
the rust and shedding of fruit by the
plant is universal.
The Board of Health reports no
deaths from yellow fever during the
past tWento-iOur hours.
How is this for High7-A few Figures.
NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
Times says it is now stated, on the
authority of the HOU. Robert B. Roo
sevalt, the Democratic member of
Congress from the Fourth district of
this city, that the debt of the city of
New York is not less than 5000, ,000,-
600, or more than eighteen and half
per cent of the assessed valuation Of
its property and twenty. six per cent.
of the assessed valuation of its real
estate, which is the only part that can
be counted on to pay the debt. OF
this enormous burden, more than
s163, 900, 900, or over four-fifths, has
been added since January l, 1869, un-
der the administration of the ring.
Old Veterans on an Excursion.
WASHINGTON, September l2-This
morning a number of aged citizens of
Baltimore visited this city to celebrate
the defense of Washington, in which
they took part, in 1914. They were
met by their old comrades in arms.
General St. John B. L. Skinner well
coined them, in a brief address. Alto
gether there were nearly one hundred
of the veterans, some OF them scarcely
able to walk from old age. They Wis
tied the Executive Mansion, but there
was no one present to formally re-
ceive them. After passing through
the Treasury Department, and subse-
quently spending a short time at the
Capitol, they sat down to dinner.
The reunion was very pleasant.
The California Election.
SAN FRANCIsCo, September r.
The estimated Republican majority
in the State is 54O0. In the First Dis.
trict, Haughton is elected to Congress
by 1874 majority. Caughlin and Sar-
gent, in the Second and Third Dis.
tricts, are elected by large maiOrities,
The returns are not complete. The
Republicans elected fifteen State Sen
ators, and have three who hold over,
excluding Pacheco, elected Lieutenant
Governor, whose district has gone Re-
publican, In which special election
will be held. The Democrats have
fourteen holding over, and have elect
ed three. There is one Independent,
Tompkins, of Alameda. 1t is expect
ed, with the Lieutenant Governors
casting vote, that the Republicans will
have one majority In the Senate. The
Assembly stands, 81 Republicans, 22
Democrats, independent. The elec-
ton OF Republican to the United
States Senate is certain. The vote of
San Francisco Is being recounted. but
it is certain that the ring has been
broken. The Board will have a ma
iority of one tax-payers' candidates.

1t has been asserted for some time
past that Hall has been anxious to
have the place Of Connolly filed by
some other person, and that breach
had occurred between the ring, which
placed Hall and SWeeny in coalition
as against Tweed and Connolly, and
that the attack made upon the latter
two gentlemen in certain Democratic
papers, and the requests therein for
their resignation were inspired by the
former, who, in some newspaper arti-
cles, were the subjects of cOmmenda-

some one else, soneof the gentleman's

Ballad of a Baker.

Joe Brown he was baker man,
A baker man was Joe;
He ne er was known to want for aught,
And yet he kneaded dough.
And he was rugged, hearty. too,
And had long life leased,
And all because he rose up with
His early rising yeast.
To never cheat his customers
This man was early taught,
And yet his loaves were always light,
His pie crust rather short.
And he was generous hearted, too,
And kind unto the needy,
And neat and tasty in his dress,
Although his cakes were seedy.
With him none dared to handy jokes
Whence er he sought the marts,
For well they knew his repartees
Were sharper than his tarts.
And when I say his skill was great
In getting up a muffin,
His pastry filled the mouths of all,
And needs no further putin.
IT'S said he was temperance man,
If so I can't tell why
He mixed with wheat, and corn meal, too,
A trife of the rye.
When age at last O. ertook the man,
His form grew bent and sore,
And, like the cake he used to bake,
His head was frosted DER.
And when he died, all mourned his loss
With no sectarian bias,
For he had been friend to all,
A good man, and pIe-ous.
HIS EPITAPH.
Beneath this crust of upheaved earth
A well-bred baker lies,
And, like the rolls he used to mould,
We hope, at last, he'll rise.
