THE WEATnEE.--The storm centre which re-
NAMED SO long west Of the Mississippi has
reached the Atlantic coast via the region north
of Canada, and has descended 10 the latitude Of
Nova Scotia, attended by light rains. The low
pressure in the Northeast has caused brisk winds
along the coast OF the Middle and Eastern
States, with light morning rains as far south as
Washington. A local disturbance in the Central
Mississippi and Ohio valleys has caused heavy
rains to fall in these regions waterspout
in Iowa caused great damage along its path.
These disturbances predicted recently in
the HERALD, the attention Of the residents of
certain States being called TO their probable
occurrence. The terrible disaster reported from
Mount Carmel, H., furnishes ghastly fulfil
ment of our predictions. The heat area Of 40
degrees embraced tho New England and Middle
Atlantic coast and the Upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys, excluding the lake region
The isotherm OF so degrees commenced on the
coast abont New Haven, Conn, passing thence
through pittsburg. southwark Of Louisville, KY,
north of Cairo, ILL.,, and thence westerly and
soutberly to Northern Texas. Other local storms
arc probable for the river valleys Of the central
regions and along the Middle Atlantic coast.
The weather IN New York to-day will be warm
and partly cloudy, or clondy, with threatening
Ipdiceticns toward night, possibly with rain.

DECISION OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE
to trade unions and organizations of . similar
character was rendered yesterday by Judge
Barrett The suit was brought by two long
shoremen. who had been expelled for having
worked at rate less than that prescribed by
the association, to compel its officers to recog
nize them members in good standing Judge
Barrett held that the bylaw under which they
were expelled was contrary TO good policy, IN
reasonable and oppressive, and directed a man
damus to issue compelling their reinstatement.

Pios,shing Cotton.

We have received letter from young
farmer, asking us with what kind o.
plough would we plough cotton the
second time, and whether we would use
a sweep eighteen inches broad to lay by
cotton
There are hundreds of contingencies
resting upon the points contained in
these simple questions. First, what il
meant by the second ploughing of cotton
The first work usually given a cotton
crop is couple Of burrows to the row,
designed to threw the soil away from the
plants so that the hoe hands may easily
get at them to thin out the growth. This
working is frequently not considered as
aploughing, but siding" barring" "
running round" etc. When the
hoe hands have chopped through the
crop, the genuine ploughing then begins,
and we would reply to the above inquiry
by saying that much depends upon the
seasons, the condition of the soil, whether
in high season or otherwise, the advanced
or backward stage of the crop, and the
kind of soil.
If the seasons forebodc dry weather we
would advise deep ploughing; if the soil
is high in season, plough shallow, if the
crop is backward, plough deep and close !;
ii advanced, plough more shallow and at
greater distance from the crop; ii the
soil is light and sandy, use a sweep il
clay or heavy loan, plough deep and
close. 1t will be readily seen that we
are of the opinion that every farmer if he
observes closely and studies carefully
the nature of his soil, can know better
how to treat it than Others can who are
unacquainted with it.
As to "lsying by" with a sweep,
there can be no difference of opinion on
this subject. If the cultivation up to
that time has been thorough, and the
crop is clean, there IL no necessity for
doing more than dragging sweep as
wide as possible through the rows. This
working will efectually destroy any
young grass, and leave the soil so that
the loose top soil will act as mulching
to the roots of the cotton plants in the
event the next few days or weeks may
be dry and hot. as is usually the case at
that season. The wider the sweep the
less injury is done to the limbs, blooms
and bolls at this working of the crop

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
ChePpi~s Out CsasSs.


With the usual method of sowing cot
ton seed quickly in the drill, it is very
important to chop and thin out at the
earliest possible moment. II Is very de-
sirable that the young plants should
grow off rapidly, but it Is impossible for
them TO do this If crowded together.
They struggle against each other, grow
up tall and slender, and, when finally
thinned out, are disposed to fall over.
Whenever this happens some time elapses
before growth fairly begins. Go over
rapidly then, and thin down, not to q
final stand, but as near 70 II as can be
safely be done. Chop out with wider
hoe than that subsequently used, that
the spaces between hills may be wide
enough to admit the hoe without danger
OF bruising the plants. II takes both in.
creased care and time to hoe between
two hills Just far enough apart TO admit
the hoe between them. II the ridge is
sharp enough, and soil sufficiently loose
for the hoes TO chop advantageously, II
may be done before plowing the cotton ;
but IL the ground is hard 1t Is well to
"run around" the cotton in advance OF
the hses. 1t is thought by many that
"barring OFF, and leaving the cotton on
a rather high and narrow ridge has two
feld good cfiect-the first to make the
soil about the plants warm up more
rapidly.
This Is probably true, a. in the spring
the air is generally warmer than the
earth, and the more the latter Is exposed
to the former, the warmer 1t will get.
The second advantage is that the roots of
the plant are thereby forced to run deep
and this guards the plant measurably
against subsequent drouth. The chief
objection to barring off" is the increased
liability of the young plant, not yet
strongly rooted, to fall down when the
cotton is chopped out. We repeat the
remarks made in connection with the
first working of corn: II the land is
hard, run close to the cotton, and plow
deep and thoroughly; il it is friable and
loose, use any plow that will facilitate
work and kill the young grass-the ter
rible May grass which will now spring
up, and is, by long odds, the most trouble
some 10 contend with ia working the
crop. Go over the cotton very rapidly
at this working, as 1t is very important
TO give corn its second plowing and get
back to the cotton again at an early day.
The second working Of cotton is the i'm
portant one, requiring unusual care and
demanding more time, which must be
secured by hurrying over quickly at its
first working.-'Southern Cutticdtor.

DIR. RICHARDSON, Of England, who is
now recognized as a high authority on
matters Of domestic hygiene, says that
sixty-two degrees Fahrenheit is the right
degree of temperature for health, and
that those engaged in literary or artistic
work cannot possibly be to careful on
this point. II their labor be prolonged
or severe, the temperature may be al
lowed to run up to sixty-iive degrees, or
even seventy degrees. The same rule
applies to all sedentary persons and
children studying. Our rooms here are
apt to be at least ten degrees too hot for
healthy persons.

Brief Words of Advice from the City
Physician.
AS there seems to be great lack of gen
eral knowledge as 10 the proper care Of
persons suffering from the effects Of long
and severe exposure to intense cold, it be-
comes my duty to make known az far as
possible the more important rules and pre-
cautions necessary in such accidents.
In cases of simple frost bite, as frozen
fingers or hands, or ears, the all important
rule is to restore the circulation very slow.
ly, as may be done by putting them in cold
water, rubbing them very gently with snow,
or with wet cloths. The colder the water
the better. No warm applications what.
ever should be used; nor should the person
affected 60 near the fire until the parts are
as nearly restored as possible to their nat.
ural condition. Such course would usual
ly prevent the bad consequences from ex-
posure to cold, so often seen in a severe
climate. When the exposure has been ex.
ceptionally severe, and the patient nearly
or quite unconscious, he is very likely, il
carried into warm room, to die suddenly
much to the surprise of his we'll meaning
friends. The same general principles ap
ply. Stimulants may be given, but very
moderately. The room should be cool, and
gentle, but persistent, rubbing kept up with
soft flannel wet with whisky or brandy, and
the warmth of the room gradually increased
Persons have been restored to life by pa.
tient care of this kind even after apparent
death had taken place. For details consul,
any we'll informed physician.
In regard to diphtheria, of which there
have been lately some few cases in the city
I will only say at present that among the
most effective causes of this disease are es
pecially recognized uncleany surroundings
and imperfect ventilation.
And in view of the fact that small .pox i.

every citizen to see that all persons neglect
