THE drought now affecting this
section Of country seems to be gen

from Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michi-

drought in some places is reported
to be the seyerest ever known.

THE DROUGHT.

We are now affected with a severe

posed TO say such drought was
never before known. It is over four

1t is said that the Mississippi
River threatens to desert New Or
leans and to cut new path to the
sea. The waters of the Red River
and part of the Mississippi already
flow through channel cut where
there was bar year ago, and now
enter the Atchafalaya, and thus ON
to the Gulf. Geological examina-
tions of the delta show that the
great river has frequently cut just
such capers in former ages, and may
do so again. But surely one would
imagine that a few properly con-
structed ietties would relieve the
Crescent City of the dread of being
left high and dry-a mere inland
town. Where's Eads?

LAST WEEK the condition Of the
President was such as to dispel even
the slight hopes that had been en-
tertained for his recovery. His
physicians showed by their bulletins
that they, too, had about given up
all hope. But on Saturday night,
very Unexpectedly, a change for the
better took place, and he has appar-
emily been holding his own ever
since. The latest dispatches are
quite encouraging, and hopes are
now entertained OF his final recoy-
cry. His condition, however, is still
critical, and may change for the
worse at any moment.

THE political campaign now in
progress in Virginia is growing in
excitement and bitterness. The
election does not occur until No
vember, and yet the activity already
displayed by both parties indicates
that the contest will be one Of the
hottest known in the political annals
Of the State. 1t is entirely too early
to horoscope the field with any de-
gree of correctness, but it can be
safely set down that there will be
no "Walk over" for either party.
Neither will victory be won on either
side by loud sounding trumpets and
the blowing of rams horns. The
party that perfects its organization
and gets down to systematic hard
work, is most likely to win in fight
acknowledged to be pretty evenly
balanced. Brag and buster will
count for very little on either side.
The Republicans, having no ticket
in the field, hold the balance of pow
er in the contest, and it is amusing
to see how they are courted and cod
died by both the Democratic and
the Readjuster leaders. General
Wickham, the acknowledged Re-
publican leader in the State, has
come out in a letter declaring his
intention to vote for Daniel, the
Democratic nominee, because the
Democratic platform best suits his
views on the debt question. 1t is
too early to judge as to the probable
following of Wickham in this course
On the other hand, it is conceded
by good judges that Malone will
secure the bulk of the negro vote fol-
the Readjuster candidate, and that
vote comprises fully two-thirds OF
the Republican party of the State
so that in such event Wickham's
following could not be large. But
it is too early to speculate as tC
probable results, as a few weeks may
bring sudden changes in the attitude
of parties.

As regards Hancock and 1884, it
is said the General is III the hands
of his friends.
| The Newspaper press iii the South
is beginning to agitate the subject of
4 revision in the tariff.
u is begirning to dawn upon us
that the country is in the midst of a
disastrous drouth.
The present great maxim in the
South according to the Memphis Ap-
peal, is "More profits and less poll
tics"
George William Curtis, says there
are no professional beauties in this
country, and DR.. Mary Walker says
he is professional liar.
The Chicago Tribune believes ex.
Secretary Schurz as greata man and
as good a Republican as ex-senator
Coukling. Who said he wasn't?
Ex-Goyernor.Jonn J. Jacob, is in
Mexico looking up the interests OF
the Winters heire in the famous
White Oaks mines.
Guiteau was hung in eligy in Jer-
sey City last Saturday night. 1t is
within the range of possibility that
he will yet be hanged in proprta per-
soma.
DR. Bliss says ne was mot misrepor.
ted but misunderstood, when he gave
up the President. Never mind, Doc
tor; go ahead and cure the President,
and all will be forgiven.
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks says
Fessenden, of Maine, was the ablest
debater he ever heard. He would
take up measure, and without
making notes never miss a point.
Thus far during the present year
the aggregate amount Of new railway
stocks and bonds issued in this coun-
try is 500, $3.50, 100. This is enor-
nous, if not actually frightful.
Let us be lenient with the doctors.
They have doubtless done their du-
ty as they understood it. When the
doctors official history OF the case
it will be time enOught TO criticise
them.
Richmond, Va, is having the
worst water famine ever known in
that city. The workshops and man
ufactures are closing and even many
of the residences are without water.
General j. f. Butler has finally
been thrown overheard by the Mass
achusetts Greenbackers, and itnow
remains to be seen which of the 9TH
er parties he will grace with his
presence.
Some Of General A1thur's friends
say that should he become President,
and Secretary Blaine should insist
on leaving the Cabinet, the Hon.
Hamilton Fish would be made Sec
rotary of State.
Foreign crop advices indicate that
the wheat crop in France is better
than last year; in Great Britain, be-
low the average; above the average
in Austria and Hungary; short in
Italy; in the Turkish Danubian
provinces, medium; good through
Germany and Russia; poor in Spain;
good in Holland.
Sessions, the 900 briber and pre-
fessional lobbyist, was defeated for
nomination for the New York Sem
ate at Salamanca, n. Y, on Satur-
day, on the forty-fourth ballot, and
N. NJ. Allen nominated. Sessions
made big fight but the dose was too
strong, even for the Republican
stomach.
The Boston Pilot says: 1.-THE man
to be nominated in 1884 by the Dem
ocratic party is named Winfield
Scott Hancock, who has grown
dearer to the country by his dignity
in defeat and his manful manner in
every public emergency of his life. y
This is not an uncommon sentiment
by any means.

A call has been issued for a Ma
tional Reform Conference, having
for its object prohibition of the liquor
traffic, to be held in New York on
October 10. Temperance politics
have heretofore been active chiefly
in state and municipal campaigns.
What success will attend the agita-
tion in the field of national politics
will now be tested. The call al
leges that "the so called liquor laws"
in the states are "a farce" If this
be true. the first necessity will be to
show why national laws will not be
equally so.
