A Blow to Arkansas.

New ORLEANS, September Reports
have been received from various points
in Arkansas between Buncher's Bend and
Arkansas City, all complaining of having
too much rain. Many of the cotton
fields that two weeks ago gave promise
of fair harvest are now impossible on
account of mud and water. Picking,
which was about to begin, has been
postponed. Heavy grown bolls are near.
iy all rot,ing and shedding. Caterpillars
have made their appearance in Chicott
County and are eating very fast in som e
localities. From along the Sunfower
Riyor some reports have been received,
and in some very low lands cotton is
shedding rapidly. In many fields sprouts
IN the hollis are as numerous az blossoms
in June.
A special to the Times Democrat from
Vicksburg says: For several days past
heavy and incessant rains have prevailed
throughout the whole of the agricultural
regions surrounding Vicksburg, and the
greatest damage is reported.to have been
done to crops. The recent storm did great
damage, and following on the heels of
that came excessive rains, and they have
about completed the damage 80 disas-
trously done. 1t is impossible to pick
cotton in such weather and no one is
attempting it, and, as consequence, the
crops will be late, Damage and falling
off in the crop, oocasionsd by the storm
and rain, are yariously estimated at from
25 to 80 per cent.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug 3l.-The follow.
ing interesting facts in regard to the late
Mr.. Clemson are worth publishing. he
was Philadelphian, possessed Of some
talent and possibly more perseverance.
he first came into prominence in Paris,
where, among certain set, be became
quite popular, and was considered by his
society friends as genius, certain of a
brilliant future. He met there Miss
Lynn, the accomplished wife of Senator
Lynn, of Missouri, consummate match.
maker, who vas charmed with him, and
so sure of his political success that she
determined to marry him to the brilliant
daughter of the greatest of American
statesman, John G. Calhoun, with whom
she was on the most intimate social terms.
She wrote many aattering letters to Miss
Anna Calhoun, praising her hero, for she
imagined be was to be hero, telling of
his great ability, and dwelling With signif.
icant emphasis upon his manly graces
and handsome features.
After Mrs. Lynn's return to America,
she invited Miss Calhoun to visit her in
Missouri, where they we're shortly Joined
by Mr.. Clemson. 1t is related that he
was completely captivated by the beauti.
full and accomplished young lady as soon
as he had been presented to her. A pro.
posal Of marriage followed. Miss
Calhoun had not been 80 enamored of her
new friend, and possibly, woman like, did
not like to be considered too easily won,
30 rejected her suitor. Finding her
obdurate, Mr.. Clemson retired to the
wilds of Missouri, and engaged in lead
mining and acquired small fortune.
During his banishment he wrote con.
stantly to Mrs. Lynn, telling her that he
was dying of broken heart. He was
encouraged to send these pathetic letters
often, and they all reached Miss Calhoun,
with postscripts from Mrs. Lynn, urging
the young lady to have proper compassion
on the man who made such passionate
professions of his love, and who vas will.
ing to become her abject tslave. The lady
impressed Miss Calhoun with the idea
thst she had it in her power to make or
mar the future of the most promising
young man ofhis day. Thus importuned
Miss Calhoun finally relented, the wan.
derer was recalled and the wedding fol.
lowed.
1t is said Mrs. Calhoun never liked her
son-in-law---in fact always had an
aversion to him. Mr.. Calhoun, then in
the zenith of his glory, had Mr.. Clemson
appointed minister to Belgium.
Years after Mr.. Calhoun's death, Mrs.
Calhoun became financially involved.
Mr.. Clemson assisted her by lending
money on Fort Hill, taking mortgage
therefor. This was afterwards foreclosed
and the property thus came into Mr.
Clemson q possession.
Another interesting fact in connection
with this property WAS recently related by
Charlestonian, who before the war was
one of the wealthiest merchants OF that
city. He says that at one time Mr.. Cal.
houn was heavily burdened with debt
His friends in South Carolina raised 8
sum sufficient to cancel his obligations
the gentleman himself contributing $1,000
and turn over: TO him the Fort Hill
estate upincumbered. This is the prop.
erty now known as the "Clemson Be-
quest" Correspondence Of the Augush

A moderate cyclone passed over the city
this afternoon. After the vortex went by
there was a gale from the Southwest, &C.
companied by loud thunder, keen flashes
Of lightning and heavy rainfall contin-
uing several hours, clearing the atmos-
phere wonderfully and lowering the
temperature, washing the surface of the
streets perfectly clean, as well as carrying
several hundred barrels of lime which
had been scattered abroad, into the
river.
The effects of the storm said leading
Cuban physician, to day, will probably
be excellent on the we'll, tending to lessen
materially the infection, but will be bad
on the sick. Unless watched with great
care, many patients may have serious
backsct in consequence of the change in
weather. 1t is still raining. Clear, bright
moderately cool weather is hoped for to
morrow.
A special train of five coaches left here
at 2 o'clock this afternoon via the Savan.
nah, Florida and Western Railroad, and
the East Tennessee Virginia, and Georgia
Railway, for Atlanta. Owing to the
short notice and a misunderstanding
about free transportation, only thirty
seven people went on it. From the tenor
of the telegram it was generally thought
here that it was government train,
having been furnished on the requisition
of the Surgeon General, but full fare,
$12.9O was charged to Atlanta. Even the
free list was suspended. The incomplete
announcement relating to the train cause
great inconvenience and disappointment
to many persons who expected to get
away, but were not supplied with money
to pay fare or board.
There are hundreds of men, here too,
who want to send their families off, but az
they have no money this cannot be done,
Great fault is found because money is moi
obtained for such persons as it would help
the city if they could be sent off. Those
who remain here do no good. They only
furnish more food for the fever.
Notwithstanding the epidemic, twenty
marriage licenses were issued here last
month, against twenty. five in July.

There is. q great difficulty in dealing
With trusts which is puzzling our legisla.
tors. N Notwithstanding Mr.. Blaine's
declaration in Portland the other day
that trusts we're largely private affairs
and nobody's business, the people who
are robbed by them begin to think that
is is somebody business to look after
them. There is a difficulty in knowing
what it is best to do with them, and while
every one knows what trusts are, it is not
easy to define them legally. Senator
Reagan of Texas has introduced q bill
into the senate that aims to settle both
of these perple1ities. The bill defines
q trust as aa combination Of capital OF
skill BY two or more persons in order to
create or carry ont restrictions in trade
Itolimit or reduce the production or to
Increase the prices of merchandise or
commodities, to preyen: competition in.
the manufacture, making, sale, or pur-.
chase of merchandise or commodities, or
TO create monopoly" J" This definition
Is broad enough to cover any one of the
thirty or more trusts that have raised the
prices on many Of the articles entering
into universal consumption among the
people. The bill makea any person
becoming member Of a trust as above
defined, OF becoming engaged in the bus
iness Of any such trust 10 any trade or
business carried on With foreign countries
or between the States and Territories or
between the United States and any
foreign country, guilty Of high misde.
msanor, punishable by fine of not less
than $1,000 and not more than $4,000,
and by imprisonment for not less than
one or more than five years. The meas.
ure has been referred TO the fnance com.
mittee, and it is probable that it will
hang there until the close of this session
of Congress. The president of the sugar
trust in his examination lately threw out
q hint the might be made useful in
squelchine, these robbers. He said that
without the duty on sugar the trust could
not exist. If lie President or Secretary
ofthe Treasury we're empowered to sus'
pend tariff regulations in regard to
articles which we're being manipulated
by syndicates, it might have salutary
and immediate effect in checking the
rascalities these trusts are guilty Of Eng
land has laws against monopolies that
are effective, and they might be adopted
here. We cannot long continue in our
present prosperous condition with the
leading commodities Of the cou untry in
the hands of set ofrobbers n ho use the
necessities of the people for their own
gain.

The yellow fever is gradually on the
increase in Florida, though it is atpres.
.ent confined to Jacksonville. The pres.
ent outbreak in Florida is its eighteenth
visitation to the United States since 100.
That people are panic stricken by tits
due to the fact that medical science has
discovered no effectual way of dealing
With it, and it is.as much dreaded now
as it was in the earlier days. The
people have no other resort but to improve
the sanitary conditions Of the cities and
towns which are likely to be visited by
the fever. One peculisrity Of the yellow
fever is that it is dependent greatly on
the climate and temperature to spread
it. In this country it is confined to the
Atlantic sub tropical regions and requires
q: temperature above Y degrees to spread
or do much damage. As it will be two
months before the average temperature
of Florida will be below that degree it is
likely to cause infinite trouble. An
eastern paper says: "There is, however,
no need for panic along the lines Of
travel. The question Of the personal
.contagion Of yellow fever has been
decided negatively by DR.. Rohe and
other high authorities. It is infectious
and may be transported in fomites, but
It'll not directly communicated by the
sick. The great peril is in an infected
atmosphere supplying conditions favora.

seldom visits rural regions. Too much
