Damage to Crops.

The same dispatch says the late frequent
and heavy rains have completely flooded
the country, causing great damage to the
growing corn and cotton crops. Many
parts of the State have been visited by
more severe hail storms than were ever
known there, entirely destroying the grow
ing crops. The rivers and creeks are very
heavy, and there are prospects of continu-
ed rains ~ 15tf r. -

WEEKLY, SEMEWEEKLY and DAILY

'aNHE WEEKLY SUN IS TOO WIDELY
= known to require any extended re.
commentator but tie reasons which
have already given it fifty thousand sub
Iscribers, and which will, we hope, give it
many thousands more, are briefly as
follows:
1t is n first-rate newspaper, All the
news Of the day will be found in it, con.
densed when unimportant, ut full length
when of moment, and always presented
i'll - clear, ineligible and interesting
manner.
1t Is firSt-rate family paper full of en-
Pertaining and instructive reading of eve
ry kind, but containing nothing that can
offend the most delicate and ScrHpul0uS
taste.
Ii is first-rate story paper. The best
tales and romances of current literature
are carefully selected and Iesibiy printed
in its pages.
1t is IL trst-rate agricultural paper
The most fresh and instructive articles oil
agricultural topics regularly appear in
this department.
1t is an independent political paper, be-
longing to no party and wearing no col
lar. 1t fights for principle, and for the
election of the best men to Office. 1t es-
pecially devotes its energies to the expo
sure OF the great corruptions that now
weaken and disgrace our country, and
threaten to undermine republican inst itu-
tions altogether. 1t has no fear of knaves,
and asks no tavors from their supporters.
1t reports the fashions for the ladies
and the markets for the men, especially
the cattle markets, to which 1T pays par
ticuar attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper pub
lished. One dollar year will secure it

"When was a poor girl" relates
Mrs. Siddons, the actress, working
very hard for my thirty shillings a
week, [ went down to Liverpool dur
ing the holidays, where I was always
kindly received. I was 10 perform
in new piece, something like those
pretty little affecting dramas they
get up now at the minor theatres:
and in my character I represented a
poor friendless orphan girl, reduced
to the most wretched poverty. A
beartless tradesman persecutes the
sad heroine for heavy debt, and
insists on putting her in prison un-
less some enc will be bail for her
The girl replies, S'Then I have no
hope-I have not friend in the
world" "Wbat! will 10 one bail for
you to save you from prison ?" asks
the stern creditor. Il have told you
| have not a friend on earth," was
my reply. But just as l was utter
ing the words, [ saw sailor in the
upper gallery spSinging over the
railing, letting himself down from
one tier to another, until he bounded
clear over the orchestra and foot
lights, and placed himself beside me
in a moment. eyes, you shall have
one friend, at least, my poor young
woman!' said be, with the greatest
expression in his honest, sunburnt
countenance. Il will go bail for you
to any amount! And as for YOU"
turning TO the frightened actor, ''if
you don't bear q hand and shift your
moorings, you lubber, it will be the
worse for you when ! come atbwart
your bows Every creature in the
house rose; the, uproar was perfectly
lndescribable = peals Of laughter,
screams Of terror, cheers from his
tawny messmates in the gallery, pre-
paratory scraping Of violins in the
orchestra; and amidst the universal
din there stood the unconscious
cause of it, sheltering me, "tbe poor
distressed young woman" and
breathing defiance and destruction
against my mimic prosecutor. He
was only persuaded to relinquish his
care of me by the managers pre-
tending to arrive and rescue me with

Yesterday was . busy day In Washington on
the part Of those who were engaged in utilizing
the Thanking privilege mp to the last moment Of
ats Official existence. A large force were en-
gagged at TIE Capitol essayfng 10 get of the mass
OF documents bearing the congressional frank,
before p. m, the hour at which, By under
standing. the Post Office would close the mall
ing Of free matter. 1t Is stated that the Senate
documents were mostly started of in season,
but that few hundred tons Of House matter
failed to reach the Post Office in season to Sc
cure free transit and happy delivery. These
documents viii remain in limbo until the next
session, awaiting the possibility Of q release by
q revival of the Thanking privilege.
The departments commence to-day the use Of
postage stamps, and the newspapers from
this date will prepay their exchanges. The
question viii now be tested whether there is
any great saving to be made by the abolition of
the T. aDking privilege; OF whether Ii will in one
way and another, "cost more than it comes to-,
To begin with, ii Is going to cost the govern
ment pretty round sum for postage stamps,
and for the employment Of special messengers
for city delivery; and as il does not seem prob
able that the mail contractors will consent to
perform the mail service for any less sum than
heretofore, IL does not seem quite apparent
where the great saving will come in. But we
shall SEE.

The Presidents proclamation in to-day's
STAR announces that Articles II to 25 inclusive
OF the Treaty OF Washington go into effect to-
day. These are the fishery clauses OF the treaty.
Certain legislation was required on the part of
the British Parliament and the legislative
bodies OF Canada and Prince Edward Island
and the United States Congress, before these
articles could become operative, all of which
has been accomplished, and so the various
questions for the settlement of which the
Treaty of Washington was framed are nearly
all adjusted. The last act in the most import
ant of these-commOnly known as the Alabama
claims-will soon be performed, by the payment
of the money awarded to the United States
government at Geneva. The northwestern
boundary dispute was disposed OF some months
ago by the decision of the Emperor of Ger
many, and the mixed commission to hear and
settle all claims on the part of corporations,
companies or private individuals Of either
Great Britain or the United States will proba-
bly, finish its labors on the 18th of next Septem-
Der, according to the terms of the treaty.

Smith, who sold the New York Tribune on the
Corcoran interview, must be again employed
rs the Truthful James of that paper in this
city; at least, a paragraph in the Washington
correspondence Of yesterdays issue, on District
affairs, conveys that impression, as il contains
greater number Of misrepresentation to the
square inch than any correspondent with less
invention than Smith could possibly originate.
One or two samples will do. Thus it is said
that the general sewerage bill, which recently
passed the District Legislature, lays "two cents
asquare foot on all property in the city, with
out regard 20 position, or whether all the sew
erage about . lot had been finished" On the
contrary, the rate varies from a quarter of .
cent to two cents, according to position, and
the sewerage must be finished so far as to bene-
ut the property before an assessment can be
made. Again, it Is said that Gov. Cooke had
not signed the bill, and that there ere strong
hopes that he would not. The Governor had
signed the bill. The truth might have been
easily ascertained by this correspondent If he
had wanted 10.
