The weather of August, thus far, has
been extremely favorable, on the whole,
to the growing crops. A scarcity of rain
is complained of in some districts, and
too much in others, but generally there

for vegetation. 4 month ago there was
great anxiety felt regarding corn. Itwas

The late Senator Hill of Georgia inher-
tied a predisposition to cancer, having
lost sister several years ago by the
same disease; but the exciting cause in
his case was the long continued applica-
ton of a nicotine irritant. He had the
peculiar habit of holding a cigar almost
constantly in his mouth, and keeping
side of his tongue. He gave up this
practice and smoking as well, when his
generous trouble was discovered, but
it was too late,

The vast and varied area ofthe United
States and the fact that our agricultural
productions are immensely increasing in
volume, puts beyond preadventure any
probability of famine or of extremely

droughts nor vexatious insects will be
able to do more than to destroy the

1t was the privilege Of the writer to visit

surprised, is but to express what we really
felt. We have been reading some time
past Of the beauties Of the place. its i'm
proved appearance, but we felt while walk
ing here and there over the beautiful
grounds, through the streets and avenues,
and within the enclosure dedicated 10 the
service Of God, that the half had not been
told. We also felt that no pen OF ours
could convey even faint idea OF the scene
to those who have never seen it. We felt
that on beholding it that we had right at
our doors more beautiful summer resort

sands for health and pleasure. One might
ask how can the old camp ground be more
beautiful than it was two, three, four or
six years ago? Simply because the young
shrubbery is growing rapidly, giving a
pleasant shade to every NOOK and corner OF
the grounds, new and handsome cottages
are being built year after year, and the
approaches to the grounds are being made
better at each returning camp meeting. II

Is the fact. The law says: 1.-THE Board Of
Supervising Inspectors shall be ten (l0) in
number and shall be men OF
practical kai and knowledge OF
uses Of steam for navigation Has
the law been regarded in this matter ?
Have the Supervisors of the Sixth and Sew.
enth districts ever been employed on any
steamboat as master, pilot, mate, or eugi-
neer? Have they practical knowledge or
skill as the law requires, and are they COM
petent to make laws for the government OF
steamboats, The blood OF the Scioto vic.
Tins stands in answer. The recent rule for
flue thicknesses shows their ability to steal
old formulas long since known to be false.
We want men who have experience and
not political bummers Petitions were
forwarded to the Sscr,tuy to prevent the
change in signals, because no bene.
lit could arise, while injury might,
as the sequel has shown. The vote
on this question was decided by Mr.. Do.
mont, and his vote was cast changing the
rule. Now We ask the Government where
Mr.. Dumont got his knowledge and skill in
steamboating? To our certain knowledge
Mr.. Dumont had never seen the Ohio or
Mississippi rivers until on brief railroad
visit to them some three years since. We
claim that every Supervisor who sustained
the change in signals, and particularly the
one who originated it, should be held re-
sponsible and removed at once, because Of
his neligibility under section 4,4Oi. 2
The changing OF signals causes the col.
