Cotton and Rice In Carolina.

COLUMBIA, S. O., September 5.-Ac-
cording to the report of the State weather
bureau for the week ending to-day the
cotton crop has been seriously injured by
the excessive and continued rains almost
daily in August, and for the past week.
The condition has not been improved by
the low temperature and little sunshine.
The early cotton has shielded its fruit,
bolls rotted, and seed in the open bolls
sprouted, thereby greatly ipjuriug the
staple. Scald and rust was reported in
many sections. In stiff clay lands the
cotton crop has not been so materially in.
jured. The young cotton has grown rap.
idly, shedding most of its fruit. The in.
Jury to the crop is variously estimated at
from 20 to 30 per cent, some farmers
putting it much higher. Four and eight
one-hundredths inches ofrain fell here
yesterday, the heaviest for years and
the indications are that the rain has
been general throughout the State, in
which event the injury to the cotton
crop will be more than stated above.
Corn crops are fine, the rain having
done them little or no injury. Reports
from the rice districts assert that the rice
crop has been seriously damaged by the
rains. In some localities cutting has be-
gun, and considerable cut rice has lain
two weeks or more In the fields waiting
for sun enough to dry it before housing,
rotting and sprouting meanwhile. The
consensus ofopinion estimates the losses
on the rice crop resulting from the re-
cent rains at from Is to 20 per cent.

A Born Lawyer.

A lawyer advertised for clerk. The
next morning his Office was crowded
with applicants-all bright, and many
suitable. He bade them wait until all
should arrive, and then ranged them in a
row and said he would tell them story,
note their comments, and judge from
that whom he would choose.
"a certain farmer" began the lawyer,
"was troubled with red squirrel that
got in through a hole in his barn and
stole his seed corn. He resolved to kill
the squirrel at the first opportunity.
Seeing him 60 in at the hole one noon,
he took his shot gun and fired away; the
first shot set the barn on fire."
"Did the barn burn ?" said one of the
boys.
The lawyer, without answer, contin-
ued: "And seeing the barn on fire the
farmer seized pail of water and ran to
put it out"
"Did he put it out?" said another.
Gas he passed inside the door shut to
and the barn was soon in flames. When
the hired girl rushed out with more wa
ter"
"Did they all burn up?" said another
boy.
The lawyer went on without answer:
"Then the old lady came out and all
was noise and confusion, and everybody
was trying to put out the fire."
"Did any one burn up?" aaid another.
The lawyer said: "There, that will
do; you have all shown great interest in
the story" But observing one bright
eyed fellow in deep silence, he said
"Now, my little man, what have you to
say?"
The little fellow blushed, grew uneasy,
and stammered out:
IT want to know what became of that
squirrel; that's what want to know"
"You'll do," said the lawyer; "you are
my man; you have not been switched of
by confusion, and d barn burning, and
the hired girls and water pals. You
have kept your eye on the squire"

A Bonfire Of C0rsets,

KINGSTON, ONT, Sept. ga few
weeks ago the Free Methodists began g
series of revival meetings in Sydenhan
and made many converts. Women
seemd particularly anxious to be gather
ed into the fold. As the number of con
verts increased the excitement grew, and
the meetings, which we're held in the
town hall, grew 80 noisy that complaint
was made to the authorities, and the
revivalists were notified on Tuesday that
they would have to hold their meetings
elsewhere.
Nothing dauuted they left the place
after putting out scouts to advise their
friends where the meeting was to be
held, and adjourned to large vacant lol
in the edge of the town. Here they
we're addressed by J. F. Frasier, revi-
valists, who sailed into the prevailing
mode of female dress and said women
are born beautiful and die misshapen be-
cause of the wearing of corsets. Frasier
is an earnest and powerful speaker and
his words created great excitement among
the women present.
"Throw off the accursed iny ention % he
cried, "throw it off and 60 to God as you
left himl Burn them rather than burn
yourselves in everlasting fire!"
This suggestion struck responsive
chord, and be had hardly ceased speak
ing when an enthusiast piled up mate.
rial for bonfire and applied q match.
1t was a weird scene, the dusky evening,
the crowd of religious enthusiasts, quiver-
ing with excitement, surrounding q fire
which shot up long tongues of flame.
"Throw off the garmentp shouted the
revivalist.
"Burn them |" hystericslly cried a fem.
mime voice in the crowd, and pushing
and painting a young woman of 25 forced
her way to the centre near the bonfire.
She was tugging at her dress. There
was sudden gleam of white shoulders In
the glare of the freight and she flung
her corset into the flames, saying she
would die as God had made her and not
as she had made herself.
Her example was contagious, and in
less than half an hour not a woman in
the crowd wore corset, and nothing re-
NAMED in the blaze but q mass of gro
tesquely twisted corset steels, amid which
the flames plsyfully Aickered. The ex-
citement was so great and the nervous
strain so tense that several women grew
faint, but they have burned their corsets
and were happy.
The Free Methodists consider the
revival a great success and talk of carry.
ing the war into the States.

It Was Green Coffee.

ALBANY, GA, August 29.-Monday
morning while Mr.. S. J. Cook, clerk in
the store of J. T. Steele, was opening for
business, he noticed several grains of
green coffee on the sidewalk, evidently
spilled by some belated purchaser.
He paid little or no attention to this,
but when the sidewalk was being swept
off it was noticed that the coffee had i'm
parted brightgreen color to the pave
ment. This was something unusual for
coffee, and at once suspicion was aroused.
The porter who was exercising the
broom called Mr.. Cooks attention to the
fact, and gathering q few of the grains
he put them in water. They were not
long in the water before the liquid had
taken on the bright green color, and
this proved conclusively that the coffee
had been painted with something to
make it merchantable. As soon as the
coloring was washed from the grains they
showed dark, unattractive appearance,
and they had evidently been colored to
make the coffee sell.
An analysis of the coloring proved it
to be Paris green, dangerous poison.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that any
merchant would resort to any such adul-
terating process, but the coffee was 80
adulterated by the original handlers.
1t shows, though, to what extent persons
will 60 to make their goods bring high.
er price and when such groceries are
adulterated in any such manner the
most careful scrutiny should be exercised
by the consumer. Deadly drugs and
poisons are liable at any time to kill
whole families, and no one is safe against
them. Those who buy green coffee in
the future will doubtless give it thor
ough washing to ascertain if it has any
coloring matter on it, and if it has it
should not be used.

His Millions Vanished.

NEW YORK, August 30.--Constantine
Ashsrgan, once millionaire, now ten.
dollar week clerk, called on Interpre-
ter Arberty, ex-consul to Jerusalem, at
the barge Office to-day. Constantine in
herited 81, 100000 upon the death of his
father, wealthy manufacturer of Ath-
ems, whose only son he was, and he pro-
ceeded at once to take all the epjoymenthe
could out of it, He built large amphi'
theatre in the suburbs of Athens, and
besides introducing all the sensual revel-
ries of Eastern Continental countries, be
revived the games known to his ances-
tors. His money went in streams, and
one morning, after weeks debauch,
when be was about 25 years of age, he
came to his senses penniless bankrupt.
Shortly afterwards his mother died aud
left him another million dollars. It took
him seven years to squsnder the first; it
took him eight years to squander the
second. He purchased a costly steam
yacht, furnished it gorgeously, employed
q re,inue of servants and proceeded to
Constantinople, where he emulated his
career in Athens. He fought duel with
a young Russian nobleman, and then,
firing of Constantinople, went to Rome.
His money finally gave out and he came
to this country, landed at San Francisco
and "beat" his way to New York, where,
after roughing it for while, he secured
position as clerk.
he came to see Interpreter Arberty to-.
day with regard to a third fortune which
an uncle of his In Alexandria has left
him. Mr.. Arberty will assist him to re-.
turn to his native land, and If the fortune
shall materislize, Constantine says he
intends to settle down to a serious life,
for he has learned a lesson by his expe.
rience in this country which he will not
forget.-Philadelhia Record.
