A Southern Boom.

There is no doubt that the southern
and southwestern states are ina boom
of prosperity the like Of which that
part Of the Union never before exper-
fenced. It is not limited to one or
two states. From the Potomac to
the RIO Grande del Norte all the states
are dressed in the new rig of progress

clothing and -four. They had open
shipping ports only for the export o
cotton, and If the manufacture of the
staple ever entered into the southern
mind q quater of Q century ago it
was only as a vague dream. The
dolce far niente Of plantation life was
content with its semi-civilized sur
roundings, and from its long seclusion
and love of seclusion never aspired to
rivalry with the restless activity of the
outside world. All that, like slavery
and the pet theory of state rights and
q seperate empire, has passed away;
passed almost out of Remembrance
and certainly beyond recall. Virginia

A Great State.

The following capitalists who passed
through this city three weeks ago on
a prospecting trip to Texas, of which
mention was made at the time, re-
turned last night and registered at
the Laclede: DR.. J. B. Adrian, Of
Logansport, Ind; G. W. Washburn,
of %Chillicothe, o.; DR.. NJ. T. Case, of
Attica, Ind; E. D. Steen, E. P.
Steen and D. D. Evans, of Danville,
ILL.,; r. FL. Hazlett and 2. A. Enos, of
Springfield, Ill. The gentlemen
struck Texas at Texarkana and went
through the state, stopping at Mar
shall, Palestine, Houston, Galveston,
thence to Austin, the state capital.
Then they went to San Antonio,
thence up to. Fort Worth, and west
from there to Baird, Abilene and Col.
orado City, taking on this trip several
intermediate towns. They then went
to Dallas, Denison and Sherman.
The party took buggies at several
points and drove into the country to
see the lay of the land. Of this trip,
DR.. Adrian being spokesman for the
party, they were highly pleased with
the country. Some of the party made
purchases at the various places, andlt
is their intention to return during the
season and close up some landed
transactions. The corn and cotton
crops are very promising, and the
wheat yield has been excellent, as was
evidenced by the ripe shocks, Just
cut in the fields, as they went through
in the midst of the harvest. New
towns are springing up like magic;
There is getting to be o wonderful
boom in real estate. For vastness Of
extent, in many places grandeur o.

is unsurpassed, consequently it has =

is not yet a great agricultural state, y

to be the most deadly. It grows to q
length of six or seven feet, and IS some
what thicker than q mans wrist. 1t Is
armed with the whitest and sharpest Of
fangs, nearly al inch. in length. with
c~isterns of liquid poi3ion at their base.
A terror to maj and beast, he turns
aside from nc one, although he Will
not go out of his way to attack any I'M
less pressed by hunger. A description
of his movements by Il Traveller who
has encountered him states that he
moves quickly along, his cleaning eyes
seem to emit agreenish light and to
shine with us much brilliancy as the
jewels of a finished coquette. Nothing
seems to escape his observation, and on
the slightest movement neal him he
swings into his fighting attitude, rails
ing his upper jaw and erecting his
fangs, which in state of repose lie
closely packed in the soft muscles of
his mouth. This snake is not so active
as the famous copper-heal of North
America, nor SO quick to strike, but
one blow is almost always fatal. His
fangs are so long that they penetrate
deep into the muscles and veins of the
victim, who has little time for more
than a single good-by before closing
his eyes forever. In one instance the
fangs were found to be seven-eights of
an inch in length, and though not
thicker than q common sewing needle
they were perforated with a hole
through which the greenish yellow
liquid could be forced in considerable
quantities, and each of the sacs con-
tanned about half a teaspoonful Of the
most terrible and deadly poision.-Lon-

Condition OF His MrI sly on the LIST OF J~nly-The
Country's Other Staple Crops.
WASHINGTON July 10.-The July re-
port of the department of agriculture
indicates a very general improvement
in the condition of cotton. Rains
were general up to the Is or 20 of
June, and local showers have been
frequent since. There has been an
excess OF moisture interfering with
cultivation and promoting the growth
of grass. Clean fields are found only
in favored districts, and on lands of
prompt pushing cultivators. In grassy
districts the plants are still small but
healthy, and making great progress
with recent cultivation. The only
complaint of drouth comes from cen
trail and southwestern Texas, from the
Colorado to Guadalupe. A few coun-
ties i'll South Carolina and Georgia
report the present need OF rain. The
recent distribution of moisture has
been unequal. Adams county, Mis-
sissippi, has had showers daily for the
past five weeks, and Pike county for
six to eight weeks. The general av-
erage condition advanced from Sc to
80. Last July there was an improve
ment of 8 points, from SO to IS. Re-
turns for July since 1870 have indi-
Gated higher condition than in June,
except in 1871, 1878 and 1879. The
spring weather was too variable in
temperature and moisture, as it u.s.
ually has been in former years, for the
highest condition of the plant. The
only retrogade reported is for Arkan-
sas, where the loss is 3 points, made
from excessive rains, cold nights and
injuries from chinch bugs, red ants
and rust. There is promise of im-
%provement during July again. Ten
points have been made in the north
ern zone-North Carolina and Ten
nessee; Texas, 8; Mississippi, 2;
Virginia, /; Florida, Alabama and
Louisiana stand as in June. The Ju-
Iy state.averages are as follows: Vir-
ginia, SO; North Carolina, so; South
Carolina, 81; Georgia, So; Florida, 95;
Alabama, 81; Mississippi, SO; Louisi-
ana, 81; Texas, 50; Arkansas, 81;
Tennessee, SO. Worms have wrought
little injury as yet. The caterpillar
has appeared at a few points from
South Carolina to Texas. In Butler
county, Alabama, the second brood OF
worms appeared June 90. The boil
worm is at work in Denton county,
Texas. Picking will commence in
southwestern Texas about July 20.
+ There has been some improvement
in winter wheat in Connecticut, New
York, Virginia, South Carolina, Tex.
as, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas and California, which
advances the general average of the
condition from Is to 70. The spring
wheat average has advanced from 9e
to 100. Indications for July point te
a winter wheat crop OF fully 800, 900,
600 bushels, and predict 125, OoO,O o(
of spring wheat.
The area of the corn crop has been
increased about $500, 900 acres.

He Remembered

( This anecdote is told of the late
Commodore Vanderbilt:
At Saratoga, on one occasion, when
sitting on the piazza of a hotel, a
somewhat overdressed lady approached
and claimed his acquaintance. The
commodore rose and talked affably
with her, while his wife and daughter
shifted the air with scorn. Father"
said the young lady, al the commo-
dore resumed his seat, didn't you
remember that vulgar Mrs. B as
the woman who used to sell poultry to
us at home?" Certainly" responded
the old gentleman promptly, land I
remember your mother when she used
to sell root beer at three cents a glass
over in Jersey, when I went there
from Staten Island peddling oysters
out of my boat" AS this homely re-
ply was heard by a group surrounding
the family, there a no further at
tempt at aristocratic airs ON the part
of the ladies during that season.
