War.
WASHINGTON, August 4.-Reports re.
ceived here from the cotton region of the
South state that there has been, rain
enough to keep the cotton generally in a
fine growing condition, but considerable
damage has been done in some localities
by rust and caterpillsrs. In many sec.
tions the rust is worse than the worm. The
general condition Of the crop throughout
the South is good, and it is not believed
that the damage by rust and worm will
materially affect the yield which, 1t is
thought, will exceed that Of any other
since the war. The average condition in
the different States Is about equal to that
reported by the Department Of Agriculture
for the month OF july.

OF personal adurnment which are most In

capital: Never has there been greater ex-
travaganee displayed In dress than In this
year Of grace. 1880. Black coats and white
cravats still remain the rigorous costume for
weddings ind funerals, and somebody who
had spOuted his own watch, wishing to con
ceal his impeenniosity, has started the notion
that Watch-chafns are vulgar 50 that. the

American Women Growing Fat.

A correspondent who writes of the recent

his observations there that American men
and women are not as thin as formerly. CAS-
the throng wound round and round the floor
in grand procession, one could not but be i'm
pressed with the enormous increase of adj
pose among both sexes. The pale, anxious
looking business man of some years since has
entirely disappeared, and In his shoes-so far
as he can get them on-stands a ruddy, alder
manic, roHnd-taeed, bald headed parsonage
redoent of good dinners and generous living,
whom you find 1t hard to believe was ever
like his predecessor. As for his wife-what q

arms, that waspish waist, really not laced
half SO mueh as it appeared to be-where are
they Who Is this, standing III her place,
with plump shoulders, pudgy arms and ex-
nially rotund matron could ever have been
