The August crop report OF tho Department
Of Agriculture says corn has m ,de an i'm

points, and is now less than one point lower
than at the same date last year. The August
return Of condition has not stood more than
one point higher during tho past nine years,
and the present return has been equalled but
three times during that period. The i'm
provement Is quite generally distributed
throughout the country, following favorable
growing weather and sufficient rainfall
Spring wheat has suffered a further falling
Off during the month, the decline amounting
to nearly three points Condition is now
nearly three points higher than 1887, and one
above that Of 1886. With these exceptions,
1t is the lowest since the very small crop of
1881. Minnesota records some improvement
nee last report, but in Dakota ther, is a
further decline from tho same causes noted
last month. Dakota is now the largest spring
wheat State, and the very low condition
there reduces the general average. In the
rest OF the spring wheat district condition is
generally good.
The quality Of the crop will be better than
usual.

North Carolina has had too much rain, de-

the crop promising. Mississippi reports con-

Louisiana had rains rather too much for bot.

One of Our Social Weaknesses.

there were some hundreds of invited
guests, A young man who was present

very slightest previous acquaintance.

other person; and then he seemed to 60

other people up to introduce them.

utes Having got done with these mis-
cellaneous introductions. he paid no
further attention to the entertainment
in hand, but bolted for the door and
street. having accomplished probably
as much small havoc as he could have
contemplated II he had been thinking
about 1t for months. There is no right
to introduce an acquaintance to u street
full OF people. 1t takes up time, Is
without any reasonable motive, and IA
a species Of familiarity which breeds
more than contempt In this way inn
posters get their opportunity upon
these instantaneous acquaintances. On
the other side OF the water the matter
Of introducing people to each other is
made too formal, perhaps; but there is
a golden mean somewhere which ought
to put It out OF the power Of an un-
blushing person to rush upon gentle
men In conversation that one OF them
may be compelled to introduce his cor

''is he n slugger." II you read the reports
about Killen, Cardiff aud other men OF
recent pronineIce, you will find this TO be
the only point dilated upon.
The credit Of making science subordinate
to smuggling Is undoubtedly due TO John
L. Sullivan, although strange to relate, he
is gradually giving up his own system and
becoming n careful and scientific fighter of
the old school. When he finally abandons

regard are even worss than professionals.
Some amateur champions are really

pugilists follow the old school aud do sx.

Another difference worthy Of comment
Is that between present and past modes OF

Is far ahead. In the old times man was

made miserable. To-day he goes through
treatment which Is really pieasurable,
In fact he simply IL obliged TO lead what
may be termed very quiet and moral
life. Il is hard 70 appreciate ths change.
Formerly The man was watched as care

and was liable to be overtrained. weakened

present there 10 no such danger. The only
trouble Is that he mar remain too 'beefy"

As regards the great coming match be-

little to be said In favor Of either one.
Four years ago II would have bean differ

His progress In the ring and his success

Virginia and invited her with fearful

Mr.. Harrison couldn't do, on account of

the party leaders to do for him.

tentation OF the case. Mr.. HARRsoS
and the party leaders propose through
the grip of MALONE to fastcn the talons
OF Republican hate in the breast Of Viz

couragement TO the Virginia Democrats
