NDEscOuragfSx feport OF the cOadi
ton of the Crops.

The Kentucky Bureau Of Agriculture,
IN its report for July, sage that, since the
issuing Of the last m onthly report from
that office, there has prevailed through
out Kentucky, and throughout almost the
entire grain growing section, West and
South, an unbroken drought The dam
age wrought has been as widespread as
the drought itself True, there have been
here aud there light showers, but these
have been rs nothing compared 10 the
great breadth affected by il. Taking into
account the already harvested crops and
almost unerring indications as TO the
crops yet TO mature, and there has been
no such failure of the crops since 1854
The result Of so general a failure cannot
be otherwise than depressing and disas-
trous upon the entire business interests
of Jhe country. All branches of business
must be more or less affected by it, AL
ready merchants are talking about short
ening their fall stock 1Isn can not buy
without money, aud with every money
crop reduced to half, where are the money
supplies TO come from? With the excep-
tIon OF hay, and there is an abundant
supply or l. laid away in store for win
ter, avery other crop is more or less
failure. Il is especially TO be rejoiced ut
under the circumstances that all reports
OF European crops up 70 tits tine are
favorable. In ny last repo. I The opinion
was venture that the wheat crop would
fall proportionately below the estimates
OF correspondents. That opinion has
proved % have been correct, and il il now
conceded that there was not more than a
half crop roised. l. may be remarked
. hat hemp is not SO seriously damaged by
he drought as either corn or tobacco.
The fbre is likely to be thick and heavy,
compensating in large degrse for the
Iack Of lenrth.

simpsonburg's Conundrum.

Simpsonburg Is not noted for his activ-
ity; quite the contrary. At the club the
other evening he got UP energy sufficient
to PROFOUND a conundrum. Said he:
Boys, why am like a torpedo?' After
having recovered from the shock pro-
duced by Simps3nburg's unwonted ac-
tivity the guesses flowed Ia quick sue
cession. Jones thought 1t was because a
torpedo IS full of empty noise: but that
was not right, Simpsonbmg said.
Neither was Robinsons guess, that 1t
was because q torpedo dOesnt say any
thing when it speaks. Smith tried to
work out a pun on torpedo, torpid oh,
but failed miserably. Everybody began
to look sick. Then Brown tried. He
said it was because a torpedo was not
good for anything till its neck is twisted.
Simpsonburg shook his head with some
thing like animation One of the boys
said it was because it was relief when
either went off, and another ventlued the
guess, in an undertone, that 1t was a
blasted nuisance. Finally Simpsonburg
had to divulge; he couldn't contain him
self longer. He said it was because he was
full of snap. The boys yawned Ian
gmdly; every one OF them acknowledged
to Simpsonburg that he should never
have guessed it, which pleased Simpson
burg nightly.

Oar Health.

The annual report Of the Kentucky
State Board of Health, just issued, asserts
Ms the proof or experience that close
quarantine will check the spread OF vel
low fever, ana that the most important
factors are cleanliness and pure air. Speak

but the best thing about that sauative
work was the thorough cleaning up Of
the city and its surroundings. The pes
tiserous uuisanees which are believed TO
have furnished the indus of the epidemic
Of 1878 were vigorously abated. Hick
man is as clean and healthy city as the
u ost fastiiious could desire. The health

the oldest mem Der of the Bankers Asso-
citation, read paper on "Panics" at the
Convention at Niagara Fails. II was
rather a warning that there would sho TT
ly be a panic here than q discussion of
pauics in general. He declared that "the
signs Of an approaching blizzard are
numerous, bat very dehcate as yet" that
"the negotiations, the issue of stocks and
bonds, are fourfold what they were in
1873, and as he thinks ''panics occur
every decade" he evidently looks for
other in about two years. But then he
is mistaken about the period of recurrence
in panics. 1t is ten years in England in
