South Carolina Crop Prospects

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 5.-The state
DEPARTMENT of Agriculture furnishes high"
" encouraging information regarding bna
growing crops The favorable condlSiOA
of the cotton crop during June has DeeD
fully maintained in July. GeneraHy
throughout the State the plant SHOWS .
rapid and healthy growth, and 1ne F0~
ports indicate one of the hnes6 crops
grown for many years. In some seceion@
the rains have been excessive and IN oGherS
there has been insufficient rainfall, onS
these conditions exist only in few locai"
titles, and are not general enough TO ap@
preciably affect the crop. Inc corFe~
spondents, with scarcely an exceptions
report that where the crop has been wen
worked-and this has been done very gen.
eraIly-the prospects for q full yield are
very promising. Caterpillars have up"
peared in Aiken, Darlington, Oran geburg'
Sumter, Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston
Colleton and Hampton but so far havs
done no serious harm, though farmers are
apprehensive of the damage that may Do
done by the second brood. The planters
have begun the use of Paris green
in some of the lower counties, and this
will be resorted to in other sections
if necessary. A slight shedding is no
ticed in localities, but the crop has sus"
tanned no injury from this cause. Some
correspondents say that the crop is grow
ing too much too weed out, and is NOS
fruiting we'll. The condition August 1st
is reported IN Upper Carolina at 1o1, Mid
die Carolina at SO, Lower Carolina at 98-
average for the State, 80 The following
was the condition reported on the 1st OF
August in the years mentioned: 1884, rs
1882, "a; 1888. 70; 1884, 81. The condition
is higher than any report by the National
Department of Agriculture since 1870. In
that year it was reported at 1o1. The
next highest reports made by that de-"
partment were in 1872 1889 and 1892 when
it was estimated at 9S
The corn crop is unusually good, ana
many of the correspondents express the
opinion that it will be the largest yield
ever obtained in the State. The early
corn is safe for full crop beyond an
contingencies and the late planting
promises equally as well. The condition
is reported in Upper Carolina at 100, Mid
| die and Lower Carolina at 1O1; average
for the State, 1O2, against 81 for the same
| period last year.
! The condition of rice is reported at ~
in the upper counties, and in Lower Caro-"
| lima at 81.

A Momentous Cigar.

1t had become the fashion in the sit
tings of the Diet for only the imperial
Ambassador to smoke; one day Baron
Won Bismarck drew out his cigar case
and asked his Austrian colleague for .
light, which, of course, could not be re.
fused. Hencefor tn Prussia as well as
Austria smoked. but one by one the
smaller States of Germany felt the dis
tinction thus made between them and
the great powers to be invidious, and
lighted their cigars. One elderly gen
tleman, who had hitherto been guiltless
of tobacco, is said to have suffered Sc
verely from the energy with which he
pulled away at an enormous cigar in
order to assert the independent SOW
ereignty of his Government. He was
one Of those mute, inglorious patriots
whose self-sacrifice even posterity fails
to recognize. Temple Bar.

An Incident of His Last Appearance In
Public.
On one Of the last appearances of Bee
thoven in public, he was announced to
play new work of his composition for
piano and orchestra. Tt having been
reported, and truly as it turned out, that
owing to his increasing deafness he
would seldom be again heard in con-
cert-room, the attendance was naturally
large, and the reception of the composer
when he took his place at the Instrument
was most enthusiastic. By some unac-
countable freak of imagination, how
ever. he fancied himself officiating as
conductor, and on coming to FORTS
sirno'' passage suddenly crossed his
arms, and let them go right and left
with such force as to send the candles on
each side of the piano flying about the
room. Irritated by this interruption, but
happily unconscious of the merriment
he had excited, he recommended play
ing; two boys, candle in hand, having
meanwhile by way of precaution been
stationed beside the instrument. On
the recurrence of the passage in ques-
ton he performed the same man@uvre
as before, and although one of the
candle-bearers prudently kept himself
out of harms way, the other, less
fortunate, was literally knocked head
over heels. This time the mirth of the
audience knew no bounds, and Bee.

A KENTUCKY BEAUTY.

Her eyes have caught the peerless light
That Sparkles on the skies at night.
She smiles, and stars at once grow dim;
A CLEAN, a fiash-your senses swim.
A voice as soft as silver bells
Rolian harps and ocean shells
Breathe music less beWildering;
1t conquers care to hear her sing.
Her steps as if q snowflake fell
As graceful as the wild gazelle.
That form, We gods! 'twould wake the smar'
Of envy in h0uri's heart,

Their cherry charms; one rapt caress
Would warm a. frozen heart, I Ween;
But, misery! how they melt ice-cream!

Body and Brain.

Motion is the exercise of the body.
Thought is the exercise of the brain.
Motion at length exhausts the body.
Thought at length exhausts- the brain.
Cessation of motion allows the body to
be invigorated. Cessation of thought
reinvigorates the brain; the body must
have rest. The brain must have sleep.
When the body can not rest, as in con-
vulsive diseases, it dies. When the brain
can not rest, when a man can not sleep,
every hour is step nearer to the mad
house. When you are in this condition
you will find friend in PERUNA. It will
strengthen the body, build up the worn
out system, and as a remedy for brain
trouble it has no equal. Thousands are
being cured by this great remedy every
