6HAF AB0UF CROPS,
With Various Persons FROM the
Surrounding Countrywide
Prospects Not Very
Flattering.

OeVeIal gentlemen IT0m the valley
below are in the city, and they give
very gloomy reports Of the crop out
look.
Mr.. D. ]. Allen, of Australia, Miss,
150 miles below, said yesterday that
the plantations Whereabouts cannot
stand another foot of water. The
levees are in a miserable condition"
he said. Little has been done TO-
ward repairing them since the water
went down from its big swell in March
last. Much Of the country on all
sides of us is under water now.
Usually we waste more cotton down in
that country than you raise here, but
nearly every lock of it will be picked
this year. The crop actually raised
will not be near so large as usual. We
are anxious to have the levees built
higher han ever before, or have them
demolished altogether. The levee tax
last year was three dollars on every
bale Of cotton, and will probably be
the same this year. The people would
not object to the tax if it benefited
them any, but they are very much
dissatisfied with the way in which the
Levee Board is running things"

returned Sunday evening from
a business trip down the river.
says the COWS down in the country
where he went are all drowned, and
consequently there is no milk and but

spring that it drowned the hens on
on their roosts and chilled the eggs SO
the old experienced ROSTERS couldn't
hatch them. The crop offspring chick
ems and eggs is consequently ruined
and he is broken-hearted. He had
failed to notice the cotton crop. He
couldn't eat cotton anyway-hadn't

A number of travelling men who
we're interviewed about the upland
country gave anything but aattering
accounts. 1.-THE crop along the NJ. &

did see. That in North Alabama
is fair, though below the average. In
the lower counties Of West Tennessee
the crops look poor, and throughout
the northern half of Mississippi the
stand Of cotton is miserable. But
little is growing on the lowlands, and
the dependence is likely to be upon
the hills this year. Grain dots we'll
enough, but the cotton interests in
my territory are suffering from the
combined cold and wet which stunts
the cotton. Merchants are doing a
more careful business than ever be
fore, and few of the country mer-
chants are now able to assist the small
farmers, as they have been doing in
past seasons. The consequence is a
great deal Of distress. In some places
po%tatoesf form the chief dish on farmers
tables, and the working stock have
little to eat except grass. Many Of
the farmers work their mules to the
pillow from 6 to 10 ard her turn them
out to Craze until 2 in the evening,
allowing them to run in the pasture
all night. Near TaylorSville, Miss,
about ten days ago, some rather sus

the poor whites, which caused the
merchants to feel somewhat uneasy

VennOr's Midsummer and Fall.
Montreal Letter to Cincinnati Commercial.
Just as stormy and backward
weather characterized the spring Of
1882 and the whole northern hemis-
phere, so in like manner will the
stormy and severe autumn of the year
1882 be as extensively experienced.
Why2 Is it always the case that cold
and backward spring is succeeded by
a cold and stormy autumn No, not
always; but you see this spring had a
weather relationship in my system
Of working. The general law Of COM
%pensation is acting pretty much in the
same manner as it did in another in
stance | have before me, and it has yet
got to finish its programme. People
laughed at the 'late frost and snow
falls in Southern sections" predicted
by the same theory, but the laugh has
ceased. Now again they smile (not
laugh this time) at the idea Of June
frosts. Let us wait and see. Possibly
we may have a "broil up" towards
midsummer for a briefperiod, and just
before the relapse to cool and cold
weather, but this will hardly consti-
tute a warm summer. Bear in mind.
We do not dogmatically assert the,
foregoing, but merely offer it as u
opinion, which most people have now
had a chance of testing to some extent.

Crossed in prayer are her earnest hands;
Fair as a lily, tall and calm,
As # the world had not power to harm.
Her own words now, distinct and plain,
Draw closer her first baptismal chain,
And we feel that the confirmation vow
Comes from heart that is pare as snow.
ROBBED in white she stands once more,
But not alone as she stood before;
Her hearts pure choiceis by her side
And she is radiant, happy bride.
No more may call her quite my own;
Her poor old father is left alone,
And / cannot see her so plainly now,
Yet through my tears she is fair, know.
ROBBED in white but fairer far
Than ever before her features are.
