In the Woods.

Chicago Herald.
When last seen by a correspondent
President Cleveland, now buried deep
in the Adirondacks, was chopping
wood with which to build the fire for
the evening meal.
Mr.. Cleveland's life has been spent
mainly in towns, but practice in break
ing office kindling may render him ex-
pert in chopping wood, and if the ex.
ercise is a little trying on a man fat
and scant of breath it will be an agree.
able diversion from the hard routine
of the Executive Mansion. When
President Arthur journeyed in the
Yellowstone two years ago he was &C.
companied by the Lieutenant General
Of the Army, a cavalcade of orderlies,
a retinue of servants and a great mill
tary historian, Col. Sheridan, whose
vivid description Of the scenery of the
Big Horn range is the finest modern
English extant. It is nowhere re.
corded that Mr.. Arthur soiled his
dainty hands by chopping wood. 1t
was enough to compass his idea of
roughing it that he donned a wooden
shirt and a sombrero like a cowboy and
made no complaint because the cham.
payne frappe had not been taken from
a silver cooler.
Unattended save by a guide and a
friend, President Cleveland's trout
catches in the Adirondacks are not re-
corded as were Arthur's casts in the
brawling waters Of Wyoming. The
only news the Republic gets of its
present Chief is the story Of the wood.
chopping, which the Democratic
friends Of the gentleman from Buffalo
will fondly hope is from the most YER
acious Of correspondents.

his favorite ~cacodemon, "the South

that "a thoroughgoing, fearless and
untrammelled Republican paper is one
of the missing institutions in New
York City" The Mail is the Mother

vertiser lost its teeth when Hugh
Hastings died, the Tlmesi is ballooming

the Tribune is half crushed by the
weight of David O. Mills cash box

A more pitiable condition would be

The Future Attitude Of the Knights
OF Labor--Basis Of the Late Set
Element,
DALLAS, Sept. 2.-The first annual
convention of the Knights Of Labor Of
Texas met here yesterday, for the pur-
pose OF organizing a State Assembly.
One hundred and four delegates, in.
Guiding 8 colored men, were in attend
ance. The proceedings were secret.
All the delegates are extremely
non-committal, being bound by an
oath not to divulge anything. Much
speculation is being INDUCED in by
outsiders as to the probable coalition Of
the Knights of Labor with the Prohi.
bltionists, owing to the fact that the
knights OF Labor throughout the State
generally are refraining from the use
OF Intoxicating liquors. Its surmised

lures to the Prohibition party.
especially as a number of
brief interviews show a large majority
OF the delegates sympathize with the
Prohibition movement, which is as.
Stunning wide spread proportions in the
State. Another report current states
that seeds are being planted for a
Farmers Union, with the hope of
making a common crusade against
what is described as the excess Of cap
ital. The agreement entered into be.
tween the executive committee of the
Assembly of the Knights of Labor
and the officers of the Texas s. st,
Louis railway last Saturday will, it is
throght, be proposed by the State AS

quit work by a strike shall be rein

cover negligence, intemperance or
neglect Of duty; that thirty days notice
shall be given to men before
discharged, except for cause, and in
case of a raise or a reduction in wages.
similar notice shall be given. Old EN-.
ployes are to have preference of work
and all differences between companies
and the employees shall be settled bv
arbitration. The convention will be
continued to-day, when an organization

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense of weight in the back. loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some at.
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms Of
Indigestion are present, as tlatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like persriration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get.

dant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching

OF Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which

The curious feature Of the Romance
is that instead Of proposing for the

young Englishman has written home
for a younger brother to come on and

not such a curious thing after all.
Reasons exist for the belief that after

MADISON VGa.) Madls0n1an.
The following origin of a Jersey
cow, as given by a farmer of this
county, is strikingly original: A party
were discussing the mild-eyed cattle
and this individual spoke up excitedly:
"Well, does any man know how the
Jersey became a separate breed of cat
tle?" One of the gentlemen gave the
origin as he supposed, stating that it
was not the Jersey at first, but called
by that name in consequence Of the
cattle being perfected by the people on
the Jersey isle. "No, that isn't the way
they originated" remarked the first,
"as MI. -, who is posted, told me
that it wasn't. He said that the Jer.
sey was a cross between a buck deer
and a common dung-hill cow" and he
bore the air Of one who thinks that

It Is pretty generally admitted that
blood is a good thing to a certain
extent, either in a German sausage or
the veins Of a foreign a%ristocrat.
There is also a vague impression
abroad that money Is a somewhat
convenient article in this mundane
sphere, and agreat scientist has made
the discovery that blood and money 20

To the Editor Of the Herald:
Very respectable Sir-In Italy, at
Milan, a young English lady, posessor
of several millions, married a hotel
waiter. This eccentric action caused

III UHOWINU COTTON CROP
The circular Of Allen & Co., Of the
New York Cotton Exchange, of date
August 18th is before us, and gives
the present condition of the growing
cotton crop, based on replies to in.
Qulries from every section of the cot
ton belt. These replies are full and
explicit and from thoroughly reliable
parties. The general prospects up to
August LIST were the most promising
known. These prospects have in
few instances been improved or
advanced in the answers TO inquiries
since that date.
Hence the circular deals with the
decline from this reported almost
perfect condition, and the causes for
such decline.
In sections favored with seasonable
rains, the decline from the high aver
age Of August LIST has been small, but
even they have suffered some from one
or other Of the causes which have ma.
terially affected neighboring sections.
Generally all damage has been brought
about in this way: favorable rains
have been followed by severe drought
in the eastern section, and a severe and
prCtracted drought in the western Sec
ton, while in the middle section
rains have been excessive up to a late
date. with local exceptions in all these
sections.
Rains have been partial throughout
every State. In many cases they are
reported as having been favorable up
to August 1st. Since then there has
been a sudden and protracted drought,
causing the plant to stop growing,
and as a result Of this sudden check,
the forms an d young bolls have been
thrown off rapidly and no more fruit
is making. When this is the case
there will be little or none Of the
August fruit to mature, and we will
have to depend upon the July fruit
alone for the promised large yield.
The latter Is being forced by the
drought to mature very rapidly,
much Of it pr%ematurely, which
we fear will begin to show itself loon
by its inferior staple. This character
Of damage is most apparent in certain
localities Of Georgia and Alabama.
When the rains have been very excess
iye, extending Up to a late period, the
fruit was abundant, but rust has
spread rapidly, checking the growth
ofthe plant and fruit. and causingit to
shed heavily both forms and young
bolls, and the elder bolls to open prema.
