The tobacco culture in Virginia has no
ticeably deprecated the last two seasons.
The present crop, it is feared, will become
less than the preceding year. Of less vigor-
Gus growth than formerly, the ravages of
the worm are more destructive than in pre-
vi0us years.

THE FLOODS RECEDE. = The food-periOd
in the Southwest appears to have reached
its height, and the waters are now receding.
In PlaquAmines parish La, all the crevasses
are reported closed, the work of replanting
rice has commenced, and it is stated as a
comforting fact, that the sugar cane in the
inundated parishes has not been =" entirely
ruined" 1t is by no means flattering to
New York to consider how little hand we
have had in the relief so lavishly afforded to
the citizens of the flooded districts, as we
read the eloquent and earnest acknowledge
ment written by Mayor Wilt, of New Or
leans, to Mayor Cobb, of Boston. Boston
has certainly displayed noble charity and
humanity in this matter, and it is little
creditable to New York that her wealthy
citizens have failed thus far to come forward
with any reasonable amount of lberality to
the aid of the suffering ones of her sister
city and of the sorely afflicted districts along
the Mississippi. The United States Govern
ment, and many of the leading cities of the
country, have given generously to this cause.
The Metropolis of the country, alone, stands
aloof, and views dry-eyed the sutferings she
will not help to assuage.
A writer says " Three of the finest of the
club houses in London are pOlitical-the
CONSERVATIVE, Uuc CudTltOu duu luo hc-
FORM" The two first are Conservative and
the last is Liberal. All these count among
their members noblemen, cabinet ministers,
leading statesmen and members of Parlia-
ment. The building and furnishing of the
Conservative cost upward of 81, OOO, 900.
No expense was spared upon the dining
halls and cuisine of the club. Five or six
hundred persons dine every day at each of
the three have named, and the club din
ners are said to surpass those of the first
class hotels. There is one club of which only
naval officers can be members and another
the Oxford and Cambridge where men in
the highest walks of literature assemble in
large numbers, to the exclusion of all others.
Only graduates of the English universities
can become members of the University Club,
while there are numbers of others, composed
exclusively of persons distinguished in art
or science, and others designed especially
for lawyers, physicians and high-class COM
mercial men. The 'Garrick' numbers among
its members some of the hest known actors
and dramatic authors of the day. In this
club there is a gallery containing a very fine
collection of portraits of theatrical celebri-
ties. The very Fashionable clubs are the
Oriental and the Travellers Both re-
quire foreign travel as qualification for ad-
mission. Any one seeking to gain an entree
to the first must have been in the East In
dies, while journey of five hundred miles
in direct line from London is deemed suf
ficient by the 'Travelers'.'

A Terrible Story from the Sea.
From the Manchester uardian, April 80.


Mr.. Webster, Broughty Ferry, near Dun
dee, has receivtd letter from his son, who
was second mate of the Clyde ship Arracan,
burned at sea on her voyage from Shields to
Bombay with Goals. The Arracan left
Shields on the 18th of September last. On
the 14th of February her cargo ignited. On
the Goth she was on fire from stem to stern,
and the crew were compelled to abandon
her. They left in three boats. The first,
under the command of the captain, was
picked up by the City of Poonah, and the
men were landed at Alden the gig, COM
manded by the chief officer, made the land
charge Of the second mate, Mr. Webster,
provisioned for only seventeen days, drifted
about in the Indian Ocean for thirty three
days until fallen in with by the City of
Manchester and landed at Calcutta. When
picked up the poor fellows were 600 miles
from the nearest land, and were in a sad
condition. Mr.. Webster, in his statement,
says:
In addition to myself, there were three
men and boy on board on the 10th of
March. The men cast lots as to who should
be killed. and the lot fell upon the boy. l
would not allow them to kill him, and
should lay hand upon him. Things went
on this way for two days, when one of the
men tried to sink the boat and said he
would have the boys life in twelve hours.
l presented my gun at him, and had no
sooner done so than bird flew over the
boat. fired and killed it. 1t was instantly
secured and devoured, feathers, bones, and
all. We subsisted after this on barnaces,
which adhered to the sides and bottom of
the boat, and on sea blubber, which was
ravenously laid hold of as it floated past
Delirious with hunger one of the men
named Layford asked to be killed. Another
named Davies struck him on the head with
Delaying pin. The blood was caught in a
tin and eagerly drunk between the two. l
threw the tin overheard.
The same day these two men fought and
hit one another. They then shook hands
and laughed and kissed each other like
madmen. AT last" says Mr.. Webster, eve
were, through the mercy of God, picked up
by Capt. Hardie of the City of Manchester,
by whom we were very kindly treated and
brought to Calcutta"
The surgeon Of the steamer which res
cued the men says they were in wretched
condition. They could not stand on their
feet, their eyes started from their sockets,
and they we're perfect skeletons. Altogether
they presented the most painful sight he
ever beheld. The most cautious treatment
had to be employed in bringing about THAR
recovery.

THE HOME OF JOsEPHINE.-The chateau
and estate of Malmaison, at present the
property of the State, is to be sold, and the
bidding is expected to be high and warm,
The upset price is said to be million and
q half of francs. 1t is one Of the most
historical spots around Paris, fiom which it
is nine miles distant. 1t was known in the
thirteenth century as having been pillaged
by the Normans, but its celebrity dates from
its having been the favorite residence Of
Napoleon and Josephine, who inherited the
property from her first husband: 1t was in
this tranquil retreat that Napoleon planned
his most celebrated campaigns, and where
call the glories military, literary and
artistic-of his reign found cordial
welcome. Josephine occupied the palace
after her divorce, and in 1874 the Emperor
Alexander dined with her three days later
she died, and is buried in the neighboriDg
parish church. The property suffered from
the invasion Of 1870, as from the allies in
1915.

| Washington, :. John ID. Sanborn was
| again before the Ways and Means Committee
| to-day, and was cross-examined for several
hours, but without anything Of Importance be-
| ing elected from him. He still declined to
give detailed statement of his expenditures.
All efforts to make him admit anything that
would connect Butler Of Mass, or any other
member of Congress with his contracts, were
futile, either by denial that Butler had given
him advice or the favor of his influence, or by
answering that he did not remember it. Want
OF memory and general indefniteness of
statement were the main characteristics de-
yeloped by the examination.

The delegation made long statement to the
President, based mainly upon the documents
that they presented to the effect that taxation
was not SO burdcnsome as had been represen-
ted, and that they were imposed for the best
interests of the people and State. They de-
, MED that the other delegation represented al
most entirely the tax paying citizens of South
Carolina, and declared that they CHE Rspub-
lican delegation) represented the substantial
| interest in the State, as they represented the
great majority of the people. The President
replied that he regarded their statements as
complete answer to the other side, and he
would also say that his reply to the former
delegation, had, in several instances been
misrepresented, particularly with regard to
his remarks upon the State Governments Of
Louisiana and South Carolina, as he had not
intended to make any reflections upon them.
