WASHINGTON. July 10 The Department
OF Agriculture has returns up to July lst.
which show an increase in the condition OF
cotton since the reports OF June. The
average condition is %. against 100 at the
same time last year. The following are re-
ports by States Tbirtyfour counties in
North Carolina average o., 10 counties in
South Carolina average 90, 81 cOuntifs in
Georgia average %, 10 counties in Florida
average 90, 30 counties in Alabama average
1902, 80 counties in Mississippi average 81, 18
counties in Louisiana average SO, Ga counties
in Texas average SO, 30 counties In
Arkansas average 90, IS counties in Tennes.
see average 105. The plant Is generally re-
ported small and ten days late. Hot and too
dry weather is almost universally noted ;
but except in Southern and Western Texas
little injury was reported for that cause at
The date OF the returns. Alabama and GeOr-
gia each report a better condition than last
wear, while Texas and Arkansas are lower.
The insect injuries are seldom mentioned.
The condition OF the wheat crop, as re-
ported July 1St, is much better than on
June LIST, and averages SO per cent. for the
whole country. The Atlantic States fall
off slightly as compared with the re-
turns for the same time last year, but
the large wheat region north OF the Ohio
river and west Of the Mississippi reiun
low condition as compared with 1880.
Michigan reports only "a per cent. and
Illinois 90. Ohio and Indiana are below
last year, but report fair prospect. Mis-
souri, and Kansas each make great
complaint Of damage from insects. In
the spring wheat States Iowa alone
returns condition much lower than last
year, and which is only y. The increase
of area planted in corn is nearly per cent.
over that planted in 1880. The average con-
dition Of the crop is not so high as the last
two years. and is 80 against 100 last year.
In all the North Atlantic States the crop Is
backward, owing TO the cold, wet spring,
bit in the States south Of the Delaware
river and on the Gulf OF Mexico 1t is re-
ported as fair. Texas, however, reports
serious injury from the drought.
In the great corn-producng region Dor
dering on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
the average is below last year, particularly
in the State OF Iowa, which only reports
condition Of II per cent, caused by the
cold spring and toe much rain IN June. In
Illinois and Missouri the condition Is re-
ported very favorable,

The Sad story of Mrs. O'COnnor.

A correspondent writing from Sommer-
SET county to the Louisville COurter'J0ar-
nal says:
Mrs. O'ConnOr, an old Irish woman. was
found dead near her home, IN the southern
norton Of this county, whose life wouId
furnish a sad chapter. Coming TO tbls coun-
trv when Young. she and her husband set
lied in Tennessee and raised family OF
two sons and one daughter. At the COM
mencement OF the rebellion the father ana
sons enlisted under Stonewall Jackson. Inc
father was shot at Bull Run, While the
sons were both killed during the seven
davs' fighting around Richmond. Hardly
had the widow ceased mourning LOT
her husband and two sons WDeh tne
terrible truth dawned on her that her only
daughter, aud the pet Of the household, was
enciente. The daughter died during the
labor Of child birth, leaving her mother De-
reft of any support. Soon after her daugh,
ter,s death she removed TO this State and
honOht a farm in the mountainous portion
Of this county, but her cup OF bitterness
was not yet filled, for short time ago
Aaw was found in the title OF her home, ana
She was turned out upon the cold charity
the world TO die. A neighbor bad given
her a hut that was on bis place to live in'
and that was her only shelter until she dled.
She had been picking blackberries when
found. and had cup OF the fruit IN her
hand. She bore the traces OF having once
hecn very beautiful, but all such comellness
had faded long ago, leaving only an express
sIon OF patience and long suffering.

What IL wanted Is some check 20 the I'M

we may expect TO see next year, II the crop
OF dark tobacco turns out as small as pre-
