RICHMOND, VA, September g.
From all parts Of the State come
the most discouraging reports Of
Il continued destruction Of the
crops, in consequence Of the pro-
tracted drouth. With some very
slight exceptions, the drouth has
been universal in Virginia. Corn
and tobacco on the low grounds
are fairly good, but on high lands
the corn is q failure. Much of it
is being now cut down for fodder,
and the tobacco cannot make over
a half crop, and that Of a very
poor quality. The drouth has been
especially severe in five yellow
tobacco districts.
Reports from North Carolina
show that the season along the
coast has been good for both cot
ton and corn. The rest Of the
State has suffered dreadiully for
want Of rain. Cotton is small and
shedding. highland corn Is Az
solutely nothing and tobacco be
yond precedent. The latter crop
may reach half an average in
pounds, but will be Of an indiiler-
cnt quality. In South Carolina,
the region west orColumbia is re-
ported as having suffered most,
and parties who have ]trayersod it
for the purpose Of finding out how
matters actually are, report that
there will be no corn and that
cotton Is short about 20 per cent
From East Tennessee and West
Virginia come similar complaints
in relation to The drouth and the
failure OF the corn, tobacco and
grass crops, If rains come soon,
and there should be Il good late
season, much Of the cotton will
come out and make a second top
crop. Tobacco will be added to
in growth, but being full Of sap
will not cure well, Nothing will
n w save the highland corn.

From Franklin Kentucky.

In every sense Of the word, this is
certainly the drycst town and county
in Kentucky, Our corr crop is liberal
ly estimated to average from five to ten
bushels, and the tobacco is even a mean
failure. Rain at this time would dc
neither much, if any good, but would
aid materially in the summer and fall
blowing, none Of which has ssyet been
done. The farmers have been Coiupell-
ed to discharge their hands, and the
consequence is our towns full Of idle
negroes, who, now and then, break
into mecthouses and grainerics. Las!
week they made an even division with
Judge Bogan's meat, but another OF
our citizens had the misfortune to lose
all he had.

New York, September 3.-Ata
meeting of the Tammany general
committee, last night, resolutions
were passed expressing abhor-
euce at the attempted assassina-
ton of President Garfield, tender
ing him and his family sympathy,
and expressing the hope that his
life might be spared for an adj,
mini5tration Of patriotism and
usefulness. John Kelley made
an address, in the course OF which
he said; referring to the Prosiden-
tial election, that Hancock was
not defeated in this city, but that
the detection was due to the ac-
ton of the rest OF the State, the
rural Democrats being accounta-
bic for the enemy'S victory, and
claiming that Tamany Hail had
done everything possible to help
the Democratic case.

Shot Accidentally

A special from Gallatin says
G. B. Gamer, who keeps a little
store on Railroad avenue, near
the depot, this morning at s
o'clock accidentally shot himself
with a pistol, the ball taking eff
feet right above the heart. The
ball was probed for by DR.. W. r.

The wound will not prove fatal.
Gamer it seems had frequent
~quarrels with his wife who was
making preparations to leave him.
when he drew his pistol and
threatened to shoot her and his
child, but finding this insufficient
to scare her, placed the pistol to
his breast, and said he would end
his own existence, when the pis-
tol was accidentally discharged.
Gamer says he did not intend to
shoot himself, but merely wanted
to scare his wife. r.

WASHINGTON, August 28.-None of

father for three weeks until this after
noon. About the middle of the after
noon the President expressed a desire
to see his daughter Mollic, and when
she entered the room and came to his
bedside he took her hand and asked
about her health. She replied that she
was well and inquired how he himself
felt. lie said 81 am better. Ask your
mother if the boys cannot come in"
She Went away saying she feared she
should tire him. GLOW absurd,' said
the father, "thc idea that such u sweet
child could tire anybody" Soon after
ward James came to the bedside, and
was greeted by his father ~ancctionatcly.
The Presidents pulse, however, began
to rise with the excitement and emotion
Of this interview with his children, and
it was thought best not to allow Harry
to see him.

Importance Of Thoroughness.

One of the most useful lessons boy
can learn, whether on the farm or else
where, is to do well whatever he under
takes. There is growing tendency in
all departments of labor to slight the
work, to get along with as little manual
labor as possible Every progressive
person welcomes the substitution of the
use of machinery whenever it is possi-
Bile for human labor, but whenever
manual labor must be employed we
would insist upon its being well done.
We would also insist upon any machine
used to facilitate work being SO adjusted
as to be the best of its kind, and capable
of being run with the smallest possible
expenditure Of power.
Aids in farm work are seldom auto
matte the use of animals, or of maehi-
merry, demands individual thought, skill
and careful attention to detail. Even
in the employment Of horse or an OK
it is important that the teamster or
plowman should SO drive the team or
attach it to the plow that the power
shall be economical to the best advan-
tage. Careless indifference is an offset
to the best mechanical appliance. The
economic value of cart OF wagon may be
lessened materially by neglect in oiling
the axles. In hundred ways may
careful thought and study add to the
power of team or machine.
It's never too early in the life of a
boy to form habits of care-taking and
thoreughness. There is an enormous sur
plus power stored in the strong, active.
healthy boy, and if directed in proper
channels it is capable Of becoming an eff
cient force on the farm. A reckless boy
will almost certainly become reckless
man. Caution and Thoughtful considera.
tion of matters in hand increase by cnl-
tiyation, hence the importance of incuI-
eating correct principles in the youth
ful mind.
The practical education of boy were
better confined to a few subjects.
thoroughly mastered, than a superficial
knowledge of a multitude of facts. To
do few things we'll is Of more import
ance to youth or man than to perform
all work slightingly. Proper attention
to little things, a place for everything
and everything in It's place, are impor-
tant Items In farm economy. Many
boys and hired. men have provoking
way of carelessly throwing down tools
and implements where last used, and
when subsequently wanted not knowing
or remembering where to look for them.
Beside the damage to the tools from ex-
posure, the loss of time in hunting them
up is very considerable.

Inconvenience Of Life In India.

People in the tropics are supposed to
get accustomed to centipedes, snakes,
and the like for bedfelIows, and BY and
bye think little about them but most Of
us would prefer to take our nights rest
in the temperate zones. A recent writer
gives us an idea Of the experience one
may have when trying to get his natural
sleep in variously populated India
What would some of your readers
think, while lying quietly in bed beneath
the inevitable mosquito net, if they were
to see gazing intently from the ceiling
right above long, green lizard and q
centipede, challenging each other to
mortal combat the centipede loses his
hold, drops down on the net, and whips
under the bed you involuntariIy shut
your mouth quickly and turn over on
your face, wondering whether or not he
went down your throat or under the
bed; you next closely scrutinize the
horizon line Of the mattress, and not
being gifted with power to see but one
spot at time, you pivot around on
your knees with pillow appraised ready
to smash him the moment you see his
eye peering over the edge but he comes
not.
Your attention is next called to half
hundred large black bugs, which are
