DIseOUragiDg Report from Kentucky.
By Telegraph.
LOUISVILLE, June 1.-the State Com
missioners of Agriculture, in their month
.ly bulletin Just issued, say: We have de.
leyed issuing our monthly report in the
hope that something would occur to
brighten the look of crop prospects. At
the time Of issuing last report re-
sponses of correspondents, covering the
entire State, were in a high degree cheerful
as touching the the small grain crops. Six
weeks ago everything was being pressed
forward by the unusually se&sonable
weather, and the hopes of the farmers
kept pace with the growth of the crops.
A dry June for a good crop is a saying we
have heard all our life. Certainly small
grain crops could not be subjected
May. On the 9th of Msy the dry
spell commenced and lasted up to the
Let OF June. The damage done by the
dry spell was of too fixed a
character to be recovered by the rains. OF
course, wheat Teceived come benefit from
the recent rairs; but this much is certain,
it will fall far bslow whs. all had good
reason to hopo for a mouth ago, and can
certainly not turn cut more than a two.
thirds crop. Perhaps within the memory
of the Oldest iahabi:ant there was never
so mocQ OlLucuILy N getting EOOQ STAND
of corn. Thia was the case throughout
the state. Many had to plant as often
as three times. With the defective
seeds and dry May farmers have been
thrown SO late in the season in
getting a stand that the c.op can not
be otherwise thar late in maturing. From
the lessons this year and two years ago
by defective seed corn, if there ID n way to
ssVe the seed SO as to be reliable, it would
be inexcussbly eulpable hereafter not tc

Much ground intended for tobacco could

set than sysr in the State before.

Arctic Explorers.

Lieutenant Schwatka, the young man
who went to the north pole OF there
abouts, awhile ago, is often seen on
Broadway these sharp, snappy days.
He is sometimes accompanied by Colonel
Glider, the journalist who accompanied
him upon that frigid journey. AS long
as the weather was at all mild these
two northerners remained in their
rooms at an uptown hotel, and could
not be enticed into the open air. But
since John Frost, ESQ.,, has asserted
his supremacy in a decided way they
consent to come forth. Neither of them
wears an overcoat, no matter how cold
the weather They saunter along with
Jackets unbuttoned, much as if the air
were balmy and laden with the odors
of the tropics. They laugh at our ideas
on the weather question, and would
rather be stared at than put on season
able clothing. If they could onl y make
people believe they perspired a little in
the open airnowadays think they would
really be willing to die. And every
dav | seriously expect to meet them Ill
their busters and Panama hats. Their
rooms are the most extraordinary apart
ments | every struck. Hides, bits of
canvass, bones, fur clothes, everything
that looks odd and smells unsavory, Is
scattered about the floor in profuson
which is rich if not attractive. A white
man who had never been to the north
pole or thereabout could no more be in
duced to sleep within noSe-range OF
such a collection than he could be made
to fly. And it is no wonder that any
man who can live in such an atmosphere
as this stuff generates has no difficulty
in conquering such tritles as the wealth
er minus an overcoat.-N. Y. Letter.

How One Boy Kept Twenty Indians at
Bay.

A brave boy who kept twenty Indians
at bay died of his wounds, few days
AGO. at Denver, Col. Three days after
the battle of White River, in which the
gallant Thornburgh lost his life, Free
man 4. Wray, who was in charge OF
camp forty-fve miles north OF White
River Agency, was attacked by band
of savages. He contrived to get his
rifle and to make so good defense that
they betook themselves to ravine and
beSieged him at their leisure. After
while he got out of ammunition, and
was forced to climb into awagon to get
anew supply. While he was executing
this movement a bullet struck him in
the calf of the leg, passing directly
through. In another instant another
ball caught him at the hip and knocked
him down. With a whoop and a yell
the savages ran toward the spot, ex-
pecting to take their plucky foe prlS-
oner. But they were again toiled, for
Wray was only down temporarily, and,
getting to his feet again, scrambled
into the wagon where lay his ammunl-
ton. He pulled sack of flour IN front
of him and piled a bag of beans on top
of that and took hold of such other AZ
ticles within reach as made for him a
barricade against the shower OF balls
that was promised. Rapidly cutting
hole in the canvass wagon cover he saw
the Indians approaching. Leveling his
rifle he fired at the foremost of his pur-
suers without the ball taking effect.
This threw the Indians into confusion
and they retreated to the walls of the
ravine. They threw hailstorm of bull
lets into the side of the wagon where
the plucky boy lay intrenched. One of
these leadon messengers caught
young Wray in the right eye,
crashing through his brain. The
Indians finally retreated, After pro
tracted delay the boys wounds were
dressed and the balls extracted, and
after five months nursing he seemed to
be entirely well, although he had lost
the use of one eye. One of the wounds
broke out afresh eighteen months after
the fight ana caused his death.

The American Cotton King.

Mr. Richardson, of Cresson, Miss, is
the largest cotton planter in the world,
and is the cotton king of America. He
has worked hard all his life and IS still
working. He is popular with the
masses and especially so with his col
ored laborers. He is generally believed
to have accumulated from Sl5,O00,00C
to S2O, 900, 900, all made in the South,
the poor South. Eight hundred hands
are employed in the factories, three
fourths of whom are women, gathered
from the surrounding country, good,
faithful, industrious and intelligent.
The remaining fourth are men and boys,
gathered from various places, a few
from the North and a few from En-
gland and Scotland, who work 400
looms and $4,000 spindles. In cotton
these mills consume daily from eighteen
to twenty bales, besides an enormous
quantity of wool, obtained mostly from
the Florida parishes of Louisiana on
Lake Pontchartrain. The prices of the
products of these mills are kept down

savings in freight having to pay none

hands are separate and distinct from
those that work in the day. All hands
work harmoniously together. There
has never been a strike or any threats
of such thing. There is no colored
labor employed, except five men as
firemen. This labor cannot be utilized
to manage the looms and spindles. The
monotonous humming and drOning of
the machinery, it is claimed, would in
variably soothe the negro to sleep and
let the looms run wild and the spndleS

Cresson is a very thriving town and its
population orderly and temperate.
