"PETERsoN" FOR SEPTEMBER is on
hand. We always feel that there Is Il
lack in the month till this old favorte
reaches us. 1t Invariably keeps up to
the mark, year after year; for ffrst-class
writer's and artists furnish the literary
matter and the illustrations. No pains
or expense is ever spared in any depart
ment; there is only one cheap thing about
"Peterson"-that is the price. 1t never
fails to catch hold of any salient point in
which people interested; John Bunyan's
bi-centennial is just attracting attention,
and peterson" opens with beautifully
illustrated article on the famous man,
written In charming style and giving
numerous details of his life which will be
new to American readers. The whole
number is exactly what September
magazine ought to be-breezy, fresh, and
altogether delightful. No lady who
wants the best stories, newsiest items in
regard to dress and society -doings, as
well as ample information in matters
connected with the identifying and ele-
waiting of home-life, can afford TO do
without peterson" Scores of thousands
have long known the fact, and each year
adds to the list of those who find this
unique periodical an absolute necessity.

WIND AND FLOOD.
A Terrible Wind and Rain
Storm---Immense Damage to
Crops and Other Property.

On last Sunday night abOut IL o'clock
heavy south wind began TO blow &C
companied by binding sheets of rain
and continued throughout the night and
the greater portion of Monday. Monday
morning the wind shifted from south t.
southwest and then to west. Much OF
the time 1t blew q regular hurricane, and
its great force and persistency, combined
with the heavy, cold rain which accom-
panied it, reminded one more of March
weather Than anything ever witnessed in
August. The rainfall here from Sunday
night to Monday afternoon was inches,
and the thermometer Sunday night fell to
40 and all day Monday never rose above
81.
There is no calculating yet the amount
of injury done to crops and fencing. All
corn, especially when not stripped of the
fodder, has been FRUSTRATED in the fiIelds,
aud the cotton is blown down and about
and in some instances badly overlooked
along the creeks and branches. Some of
the farmers we have seen estimate the
damage to crops at from 25 to 30 per cent.
The storm seems to have been general
all South of roOkhaven, and there is no
telling yet how far it extended in its de-
structive course nOrthward. New Or
leans was submerged for hours, boats
were sunk, and great damage done to
houses and other property; while points
bordering directly on the Gulf Coast have
probably Jared still worse. The Illinois
Central Railroad track was washed up
a mile and half between Manchac and
Premier, 10y the water driven by the wind
from Lake Pontchartrain, and no through
trains passed from Sunday evening to
Tuesday night. All other railroads were
also cut off from communication with the
city. Altogether, the storm will be a
memorable one.

out. Miss Ragsdale made an excellent
Galatea, her posing as the statue before
it was called into life being really high
art, while her acting i'll the following
scenes was graceful and effective. Miss
Sones' Cynisca was also strongly delin-
Gated, every line being delivered with
spirit and feeling. and Miss McGrath as
Myrine was charming. Her Greek love
song fully deserved the encores it re.
ceived.
Mr. McGrath as Pygmaion made the
best of some very embarrassing situations
and threw considerable fire into his lines.
Mr.. Alcus WAS n very gallant and
handsome Luoippe and made the most of
his role.
Tue comic characters, Daphne, Miss
Flood, and Chrysos, Mr.. Gillespie, were
infinitely amusing. The latter is an ex-
pcricnced actor, and his makeup and
bearing on the stage were equally good.

ceved from the press, and should it give
