aRANr's THIRD TERM.-A special dispatch
from washington to the Boston Post says: SIT
anne annears that the meyementoft the Office holders
to secure the renomination of Gen. Grant for
third term has already commenced. 1t Is stat
ed that the preliminaIies were arranged at
Tone Branch several days ago, and it is:not
denied that the President. is. cognizant OF IT.
THOSE having the matter in charge seem to
count very largely upon the diyisions'snpPos
to exist in the ranks of the opposition, and
upon their ability to rally the moneyed inter-
ests of the, country to the support OF. their
scheme. Under the head of "moneyed inter-
ests,n they include the national banks, the
railroad corporations, and large capitalists.
These. they allege, are for Grant, because un-
derhis administration it is not likely that any
Hesitation will be enacted hostile to these in
stitutions. Another argument used is that
there is no mansin the Republican ranks, who
ilas developed greater popular strength than
Grant. and it is hardly probable that within
the next three years he will have dangerous
rival. of course the official patronage will be
used in manipulating conventions, ana IN Sc
curing delegates. Some of the Presidents
friends think it is too soon to agitate the ques-
ton -of succession, but the matter has been
Kept very quiet, and it was not expected to be
made public until at least year hence. III
Grant should fail to get the nomination" his
friends assert that he wi illsat least, be able to
name his successor.

The TEMPERANCE QUEsTIoN.-The Atlan-
tic Monthly comedies that the temperance ques-
tion is growing in interest, and the issue must
be met sooner or later. It says:
sThe war against the liquor dealer bids fair
to spread over the surface of the habitable
globe. Beginning generation ago in an OBJ
scure community on Ahis side of the Atlantic,
It rapidly extended itself throughout most of
the Northern States of America, then through
England, and now we hear of'deyotees of the
cause making. their appearance even in Russia.
The length Of time during which the cause has
maintained itself; the ardor of the prohibit
tionists, and the importance of the subject
itself, all show that the popular feeling is no
,momentary whim, buta genuine and deep SEN
timent which must be taken into grave conside-
ration by all those who are interested in gov
ernment. It has been laughed at, reasoned
against, and voted against for generation,
and is to-day stronger than ever. The parallel
which we have just uggested-between the
zeal which now animates the vast legions OF
the Alliance in England, of the Prohibition
lists in America, and their new allies in Russia,
and the zeal which thousand years ago ami
mated the hosts which marched out of Europe
under Peter the Hermit to rescue the Holy
Land from the Panyim-though curious, is
not in reality very far-fetched.
cat the present moment, parliamentary
bodies all over the world are engaged in enact
ing laws for the prohibition or restriction OF
the sale of intoxicating liquors. In Massachu-
sets controversy is ragingNow in the Legls-
lature and now in the courts, over the excep-
ton of malt liquors from the prohibltory
statue in force. In New Jersey constitu-
tional war over the local option clause, has
been going on. In many of the other States
some legislation will probably be had during
the next few months"

HOOD AND, JoHNsroN.----A correspondent
writing from the Allegheny Springs, Virginia,
says:
Just now there are not more than one hun
dred and fifty people here, Though nearly all
the best quarters are engaged, and among
them I find several distinguished families from
the South. General J. B. Hood is here, with
his wife and family, which is thoroughly rep
resentative one. Mrs. Hood is q tall, elegant
and beautiful lady. The General uses crutches,
though wooden leg supplies the place of the
one he lost at Chickamauga, and the strength
of his arm is impaired by the wound he re-
;ceived at Gettysburg. Otherwise he is as
healthy, handsome and hearty as. he ever was
in his life. Though only married since the
war, General Hood has four of the prettiest
children I ever laid my eyes on-two of them
twins-and all so near of size that it is hard
to tell which is the oldest. But what aston
ished me most were the nurses-four nurses to
four children; and they all seemed to be busy
lin fact, to have their hands full. Three of
the nurses. are as jet black as coal, and are
Young plantation negresses' from Louisiana,
While the fourth is an old plantation nanny,
evidently O family relic, who will die as she
has lived among her old people and her best
friends.
Many poor old Southern negro woman re-
grets the day she forsook her old owners, when
emancipation proved rather a curse to her than
the blessing for which it was intended.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, now visiting at
Arlington, has engaged rooms here, and, with
his beautiful and accomplished lady, will spend
the season here. And this is coincidence
Hood and Johnston hob-nobbing it together at
the same watering place. Johnston, the most
distinguished of all the living officers of the
late Confederacy, Hood, the brayest and most
gallant, who; by virtue of JEFF. Davis, super
ceded Johnston in command of the army at
Atlanta and left the way open for Sherman's
march to the sea. Had Johnston been in COM
mand the way would not have been so easy,
and the distractions might not have been Gu.
rious enough to thwart the Lieutenant General
Hoods design. But, suppose Hood and John.

THE COTTON CRoP.-There is nothing in
the report of the Bureau of Agriculture, just
published, which encourages the belief that
the cotton crop of 1S73-74 will be large one.
The main reliance of the Northern bears was
the increase of acreage, as compared with that
of 1928, from which they figured out crop
of four and half or five and half million
bales, according to their fancy. This prop is
swept away. The, Agricultural Commissioners
says that enough land, planted in cotton, has
been abandoned "to bring the acreage down
to what it was last year." All, therefore, that
we have to rely on is crop equal in amount
to that of 1928, if the season be as fayora-
BILE to the staple, and if the labor of the coun-
ltry be as plentiful and as efficient as it was
last year. What information have we upon
these two points
In the first place the present season has
unouestionably been, so far, less favorable than
the preceding season. The Agricultural Com
missioner only confirms the. letters of private
correspondents, and of the acute correspondents
| of the Neus and Courier, in saying that the
crop is from two to four weeks late, that the
wet weather has given the planters more work
than they could do, and that cotton worms and
caterpillars have made their appearance.
Add to these facts the further fact that labor
is dearer and more scarce and less efficient than
it was last season, and the public, who wear not
the speculators spectacles, willsee at once how
poor is the chance of making crop equal to
that of 1928, unless the rest of the. current
season be as extraordinarily favorable as the
season of 1901, when over four million bales
were made.
The bears and the spinners may say what
they please about four and five million balesin:
1874 Estimates are mere guesses at this
stage, but as things look now, three and half
million bales will be nearer the mark than
four and half Millions Charleston Ne,os

Average Condition of the Cotton Crop.
WASHINGTON, july Is


The report of the condition of the cotton
crop to the department of agriculture, for July
LIST, are summarized as follows: Owing to
causes reported in June, the crop is generally
from two to four weeks later throughout tht,
cotton States. The weather was unprecedent-
edly wet for period varying from twenty-five
to thirty days, ending about the 25th of June.
The area of cotton planted was sufficient to tax
the available labor to the utmost under the
most favorable circumstances, consequently the
excessively wet.weather, preventing work and
stimulating grass and weeds, has not only
caused poor stands, and grassy and otherwise
unfavorable condition quite generally, but has
necessitated the abandonment of large portions
of the area planted, probably enough to bring
the acreage down to what it was last year. The
reports, with rare exceptions, are despondent
in tone, and picture somewhat gloomy pros
pect. Doubtless the majority fall in with the
common tendency to exaggerate the bad effects
upon the crops of unfavorable weather pre-
vailing in the present, and to underrate tho
future chances of recuperation from these eff.
fects. The reports show generally that the
favorable weather in the last days of June was
having the effect to change the condition some
what rapidly for the better. Cotton worms,
caterpillars and lice had made their appearance

had not occasioned much apprehension of se-
rious damage. The average condition for the
cotton States, not counting the average made
up from all the counties reported, was ninety
FIVE. In detail the condition reported by figures
gives the following results: Virginia, ten coun-
ties reporting an average condition of 10S, two
being placed at 100, six above and two below.
North Carolina, forty-three counties average
81, fourteen at 100, seven above and twenty
two below. South Carolina, sixteen coun-
ties average 80; Laurens County 100; all
others below. Florida, ten counties average
SO, three at 100; three above, four below.
Georgia, ffty-eight counties average SO, seven
teen at 100; ten above, thirty below. Ala
bama, thirty-six counties average rs. six at
100; three above, twenty-seven below. Mis-
siesippi, thirty counties average 83, eight at
100; two above, twenty below. Louisiana,
nineteen counties average 80, one at 100; three
above, fifteen below. Texas, fifty counties av-
erage 7S, two at 100; eight above, forty below.
Arkansas twenty-nine counties average 106,
nine at 100; four above, sixteen below. Ten
nessee, twenty-four counties average 96, seven
at 100; FIVE above, twelve below.

LITTLE MIsERIEs. Life would be .misera-.
BILE if men and women had no grievances. 1t
is highly probable, indeed, that large number,
if they could find nothing to gruinble at, would
die of simple ennui. Its a positive enjoyment
to some people to have good growl they
take intense delight in pursuading themselves
and those by whom they are surrounded that
they are martyrs on a small scale. They do
not act thus always with the mere intention of
invoking pity on their behalf; perhaps, if the
truth were to be made known, they are intense
" angry with the being who has the audacity
to pity them. They are actuated by some
what vague feeling of discomfort They feel
that, somehow or other, things are not exactly
as they ought to be- They may have plenty
to eat and drink, they may have good clothes
on their backs, and sufficient money to provide
them with all healthful luxuries they may
have friends who love them, and comfortable
homes, and yet they will be dissatisfied and
seize an opportunity of masking their dissatis-
faction felt They may be good-hearted people
in the main, they may give money to feed the.
hungry and clothe the naked, their eyes may
water with compassion at the sight of suffering,
and yet, unaccountable as it may appear, they
will take pleasure in making those with
whom their daily lives are spent temporarily
unhappy. Human nature is made up of such
palpable contradictions there is so much in
stinctiye bad mixed up with so mnch instructive
good in every one of us-that there is no rca-
SON to be surprised at this. Such being the
constitution of many mems minds, it will read
lily be conceived that even when people are
exceptionally prosperous they make point of
gloating over their trivial trials, making out.
indeed, that they have as large a.share Of the
bitters of life as any of their fellows. Indeed,
we may go step further, and say that those
who have most trials talk least about them.
Those whose lives are one continual grind; who
have to struggle hard to keep the wolf from
the door, have, in fact, little time for grurnb-
ling. They have generally to be content with
things as they are 1t would be found, were
inquiry made, that the honest hard workers are
SO busfly engaged in thanking Providence for
such small mercies as are vouch-safed them,
that they forget to murmur, except at odd mo-
ments, on account of those which are denied

THE PRINTER's EsrATE,-We find the fol-
lowing remarks, which all printers and pub
fishers will agree in calling sensible in an ex-
change. and commend them to-the attention of
the reader. They will apply TO all localities
in which newspapers circulate:
The printers dollars-where are they? A
dollar here ard dollar there, scattered oyer
the numerous small towns, all over the country,
miles and miles apart; how shall they be
gathered together? The paper-maker, the
iiourneyman .compositor, the building owner,
the grocer, the tailor and all assistants to him
in CARRYING on his business, have their de-
mands. hardly ever 80 small as single dollar.
but the mites from here and there must be
diligently gathered and patiently boarded, or
the wherewitt to discharge the liabilities will
never become sufficiently bulky. We imagine
the printer will have to yet up an address to
his widely scattered dollars something like the
following:
Dollars, halves quarters, dimes and all man
ner of fractions into which you are divided,
collect yourselves and come homel You are
wanted. Combinations Of all sorts of men
that help to make the printer proprietor,
rathcrin such Sorce and demand with suctfgood
reasons your appearance at this counter, that
nothing short of you will appease them. Collect
yourselves, for valuable as you are in the aggre-
gate, single you will never pay the cost of collec-
ting. Come here in single file, that the printer
may form you in battalion, and send you forth
again to battle for him and yindicate his feeble
credit
Reader, are you sure you haven't couple
of the printers dollars sticking about your
clothes If you have, order them home imme-
diately. :.
