ing animals, look aud laugh.
Always tell them to hit back when an.
poyed by neighboring children.
Tell them all the lies you like and half
kill them if they tell you one.
When they tell you they won't do a.
thing, laugh at them and let il 90.
When they fall and hurt themselves
soold them for their awkwardness.
Dress them in style that they will be
afraid to play for fear of eoiling their

Make religion suoh long faood pokey

Don't give them anything to read but

Don't give them tho habit of kissing

TIE WEATHER.

One hundred and tbirty.thrce cores
poudonts report the weather for the month of
July favorable and twenty-five unfuvorablc.
Three correspondents in Darlington county
report that the rains huve been go frequent
and heavy as to cause some slight damage
to crops and five correspondents 10 Andcr-
son, Chester, Laurens and Spartanburg
counties report that drought prevailed for
about three wceks, somewhat reducing the
condition of all crops.
COTTON.
The condition Of cotton is below an aver
age, owing almost entirely to the cool spring,
which injured the "stand," and from the
tho effects of which it has not recovered.
The greatest injury was sustained by the
Northern counties. The plant for tho past
month has been growing finely aud truit-
ing well. Some apprehension is felt on
account Of continued rains, but no damage
of any consequence is yet reported from
this cuusc. -Four correspondents in Oar
liogton, COLLECTION and Hompton counties
note the appearance of the worm, but in
very small numbers, and they have not yet
injured the plant. Rust is reported by
four correspondents in Anderson, Spartan.
tanburg, Nowberry and Hampton countiea,
rinc correspondents in Darlington, Fairfield
Berkcly, Charleston, Clarendon, Colleton
and Williamsburg couDtics report that the
plant is shedding lcaves and fruit, but no
uneasiDcss is felt from either rust or she'd
ding unless the rains during August arc
EXCESSIVE. The plant is generally small
throughout tho State but we'll fruited. The
condition is reported in Northern
Carolina at 88, Middle Carolina at 96 and
Lower Carolina at 90-an average for the
State Of 81, against II for the Same time
last year.
The seasons have been remarkably foe
for corn. In addition to favorable seasons
better land was devoted to this crop, cul
tivation has been far better and a larger
percentage Of the crops fertilizcd than
formerly. All of these causes have made
the crop an unusually fno one, and tho
present indications are that considerably
above an average crop will be harvested.
Early corn is made beyond al, contingencies
and seasons have been very favorable for
tho late planting. Much of tho oat stubblo
was planted in corn and peas, and the
prospects for full crops of both are vory
encouraging.
Ono correspondent in Colleton county
reports that farmer in his vicinity
harvested forty bushels of oats per aero and
will realize an equal quantity Of corn and
peas.
The condition is reported in Northern
Carolina ut 100, Middle Carolina 1O5, aud
Lowor Carolina Il1--an average for tho
State of los against So for the same period
last year.
RICE.
Upland rice is generally reported in good
condition, is growing well under the
stimulus of favorable seasons and good
culture, and tho prospects are very prom
lslng. In tho low country il is not in as
good condition, but full crop is not i'm
probable. A correspondent 10 Beaufort

Strange that summer skies and sunshine

Never trouble US again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch tho frown upon our brow7
Would the prints of rosy fingers

All! those little ice cold fingers,

Not to scatter thorns-but roses

health and avoid sickness.
Instead Of feeling tired and
worn out, instead Of aches
and pains, wouldn't you
rather feel fresh and stronga
You can continue feeling
miserable and good for no
thing, and no one but your
self can find fault, but if you
are tired Of that kind oflife,
you can change it if you

Michael Dayitts Arrival In New

The steamer Germanic, with Michael Davitt,
the Irish leader, on board, arrived at quaran-
tine Saturday night and reached her dock SUM-
day morning. Mr.. Davitt was driven to the
Everett House. There was no demonstration,
Mr.Dayitt VIII lecture under the auspices Of the
Land League. The object of his visit is to con.
tradict the report Of dissensions at home and
to explain the work Of the Ladies' Land League
In ireland In sustaining evicted tenants. He
said there was no rupture between himself and
Mr. Parnell. He quoted his Liverpool speech
TO show he was In favor of the land In Ire
land becoming the national property,
while Mr.. Parnell was in favor of a
peasant proprietary. The former plan,
instead OF requiring tenqnt-farmers
TO pay the purchase money for the fee-simple
OF the land, would call for o land tax, which
would give perpetual possession. Mr.. Davitt
said the Coercion bill would arose tho people
10 outrages. He condemned the Phoenix Park
murders, and said there was q growing belief
that they were the work OF the landlords. Mr.
Gladstone's position he considered very crit.
lcal, especially on the Egyptian question.
Speaking OF Minister Lowell he said the fault
was not so much with him as with the Govern
ment at Washington. Mr.. Dayitt says he will
not re-enter Parliament, as he can do more ef-
fectiye work outside. He Will return to Eng
land at the end Of two weeks to hold confer.
ence with Parnell after the passage OF the
Coercion act
