ARKANSAS

From nineteen counties twenty-nine
answers. The weather has been dry
and warm, and caused the crop to ma
ture rapidly, though some few COM
plants are made in the uplands that dry
weather caused shedding. Very little
or no damage done by worms, rust or
rot. Picking generally commenced be-
tween the fifteenth and twentieth in
stant. Six counties report an average
increase over last years crop Of eleven
per cent; five counties report the same
yield, and eight counties report an aver
age decrease of ten per cent, making
the general average about the same as
last year.

LOUISIANA.

From twenty-five parishes we re-
ceived thirty answers. Thirteen report
too much rain and nine dry and more
favorable weather. The caterpillar
which are reported in great numbers
throughout the State have already done
considerable damage and still continue
their deyastations. Rot and rust have
also injured the crops to some extent,
especially those parishes reporting rainy
weather. Picking has generally COM
meneed. Only one parish, that of
Union, reports greater yield than last
year while the balance shorter crop.

TENNESSEE.

Thirty-one letters received; favorable
effect on the plant, though local rains,
cold and cloudy days also increased the
number Of caterpillars and bollworms in
a majority Of counties, and many re-
ports complain of great damage from
these sources now. Complaints Of rot
from this State, and but little damage
from rust reported. Picking was already
progressing rapidly in a number of
counties, but viii not be general before
the fifteenth instant, and in some cases
before the first of October. In compari-
son with the bad prospects at this time

CHICAGO, September 1.-THE fire
broke out about three o'clock in the
lumber district near the corner of Sew
enth and Halstead streets, and has been
burning ever since with the greatest
fury, having spread over at this hour q
distance Of nearly mile. The wind is
blowing a gale from the southwest and
carrying burning brands long distance
in advance of the fire. The entire fire
department is on the ground and doing
everything possible to stay the advance
of the flames. There is considerable ex-
citement among the people.

CINCINNATI, September ia large
fire is now raging in Chicago, near
Halstead and Twelfth streets, about four
blocks from where the other fire origi-
mated. Two blocks have already
burned. The wind is very high and the
firemen seem to have no control over
the fire.

NORTH CAROLINA.

We have fifty-two letters from forty
counties. All hut three complain Of
excessive rains causing the plant to shed.
The weather in this State is generally
warm and dry, and its effects are
represented as rather favorable. Neith-
er worms nor rot nor rust are complained
of, the only cause OF dissatisfaction be-
ing the shedding of young bolls and
forms, reducing the prospects for a top
crop. Picking has commenced and
will be general about the twentieth in
slant. The yield will be about equal to
last yearl with frost at the usual time.

We received twenty-eight answers

since August fifteenth, with few excep-
tions, seems to have been bad. There
is no complaintOf of worms, but consider
able complaint of damage from rot and

There is continued excitement among
all classes of people in the locality Of
the fire, and this with the direction of
wind, present nearly the same condi-
tions as those of the great fire of two
years since, Many people living in the
line of the fire are packing up their
household possessions and moving TO
place Of greater safety, The point where
the fire started is about half a mile, and
nearly due south, from the point where
the great fire Of October 1871 originated.

In Western Pennsylvania, some years ago. a
notorious criminal, who had taken to the woods
and desperately resisted all efforts to capture
him, was finally brought into the town of Som
orset by . boy Of sixteen. The lad had gone
out cunning, chanced to encounter the despera-
do, and unhesitatingly drawing bead on him, 2"
marched him increasingly into town. The
outlaw, when questioned why he allowed him
self to be captured by so weak an antagonist,
replied that IL man had pointed the gun at
him, he should have attempted resistance or es-
cape, for men are 10th to take life in such a
case; but q boy, he knew. would rather ehoot
him than not, and count II "fun."
It is such recklessness, such want Of the feel
ing of responsibility, that makes half-grown
boys the most dangerous members of the com
munity. Men, even bad brutal ones, arc held
in check, In some measure, by . realization of
the penalties of the law, il by nothing else but
reckless boyhood realizes nothing but its own
impulses. A large proprotion of the rows, as
sAults and ARRAYS of this city are due to it's bad
and ungovernable boys; and yisitants from 9TH
or places do us the honor to say that our young
rowdies, our ''Sixth-Streeters, ,""Old. Churchers
or what not, bear away the palm for reckless
misconduct from those Of most other cities
What can we do to bend our twigs that they may
not produce hopelessly twisted, mis.shaper

PuluehOOdu About the President.

The following from Hdrper's Weekly Of the
present week we commend to the reader The
too common habit Of newspaper correspondents
at Washington in sending out reports based on
the merest rumor is justly treated. The Weekly
says: During the height Of the Presidential
campaign, last year, friend Of tho President
asked authority to contradict some of the per-
sonal falsehoods about him which were 80 rife
The President smiled and said, what Ia tho use
They will invent twenty while You are denying
one.' He held his peace, and gradually, one by
one, the stories OF the Seneca stone and the
Long Branch Cottage. and the Chicago lots,
and the Ministry to Belgium, and the rest, were
shown to be utterly false and the President
wholly innocent. The came old spirit of defamR-
tion begins to show itself again. After the re-
cent suspension of the First National
Bank in Washington, it was said that a little tin
box, containing the Presidents special deposit
Of some thousands of dollars, had been hurried
ly returned to him early on the morning OF the
failure, while the other depostors, including ex-
Prest johnson, who bad sixty thousand dollars in
the bank, left to whistle for their money. Ii
was alleged that the President was allowed in
terest on his balances. This story turns out to
be OF the Seneca stone variety. The President
had no special deposit in the bank and was not
allowed interest upon any balance, and had no
balance when the bauk stopped, and had no lit
tie tin box there. But he did have a little tin
box in the bank Of Jay Cooke Co., containing
private papers. and not balance, nor had he
any money with the house and that little tin
box was returned to him about the time the
First National Bank closed. 1t is very safe to
disbeheve the personal scandal about the Presi-
dent. Nothing is eaissr than to invent and diff
fuse it. and there are plenty Of persons who are
diligently engaged in the business. Washing
toD correspondent has but to obtain one fact
one little tin GUK--and he will fill it full OF lies
Aud If 10 itle lin box can be found he can still
say that 1t is rumored' and lit is whispered, -
and it is understood The daily life of no man
Ia the country is exposed to such minute and
malevosut scrutiny as that of tho President
1.-The fierce light that beats upon a thorne" il
that in which lie lives He is beset with slam
ders. But those who invent the false-hoods TO
injure him do not seem to see that the President
