TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
The Crop Report.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 2.-The rains dur
ing the past week have been in the form
of widely scattered showers.
The central counties have been the
most favored portions of the State.
These showers have been the heaviest
along the Cumberland valley. The
wheat crop is about all threshed and
stored in excellent condition. Corn
looks promising, but in good many
localities is still needing rain. Peaches
are plentiful, but apples are scarce.
Gardens are looking fairly we'll, but
most of them would be greatly benefited
by seasonable showers. Cotton in Ruth
erford County is good, but the stalk is
rather small. Oats are very fine and the
yield is above the average. The prices
are SO low that farmers are holding back
their grain, hoping for an increase in
demand. Hogs and cattle are in good
healthy condition.
Dry and hot weather continued IN most
of the northern counties until Sunday,
when the drouth was temporarily broken
in many localities by local showers,
which have greatly revived corn and to-
bacco. Corn had suffered seriously, but
whore rain has fallen fairly good crop
is assured. Tobacco has stood the dry
weather better than corn. Wheat has
been threshed and some sold, though the
low prices have caused most farmers to
store it. Pastures are pretty good, and
stocking is looking we'll. Peaches are
ripening slowly, and apples are drop
ping before ripening. Melons are now
plentiful Grapes are rotting badly.
In the northeastern counties favora-
BILE weather has prevailed. Tobacco is
looking very we'll and much of it is
ready to top. Rain is now needed to
enable farmers to plow their land for fall
seeding. Corn is doing nicely, especially
on the low lands.
Throughout the eastern counties the
rains, which have all occurred during
the past three days, have been scattered
and generally light. In some localities
crops are still suffering for want of suf-
ficient moisture. The week has been
favorable for saving hay and threshing
oats and wheat. Apples are very scarce
and the grape crop is short and inferior.
AAO COu0AnuCO uEy WCdOAOI oAA hiS II
temperature has been injurious to crops
in the southeastern counties. Corn is
seriously damaged and pastures are
drying up. A large crop Of hay has been
saved without injury. The fruit crop is
very short.
All crops in the southwestern counties
are suffering from the effects of the con-
tinued drouth. Cotton is looking we'll,
but is needing rain. 1t ia now fruiting
quite heavily. The stalks are generally
small. The wheat crop is about all
threshed, and the yield is fairly good.
Pastures are dying out, and stock water
is becoming scarce in some localities.
Hot and dry weather has prevailed
throughout the western and northwest
ern counties. Pastures and gardens are
badly parched. Tobacco, corn and cot
ton all need rain. Hogs are quite plen.
tiful in Dyer County, and are free from
disease of any kind. A fine melon crop
is now ripening.

saying goes. After sufficient time in

Mr.. Willard as there is no other actor in
America at the present time that is bet

The accidental falling of bottle of alco-

but failing he turned in the alarm and
the fire department promptly responded
and succeeded in confirming the fire to
the room. The loss sustained by Mr..
Monaghan on stock and machinery is
about $500. fully insured. The room

r, p. O'Connor, M. p.

The following sketch of Z. p. OCon-
nor is given by u. B. L." in the Chicago
Evening Post: The most brilliant men,
Der of the Irish parliamentary party is T.
P. O'Connor. He is affectionately known
as ''Tay Pay" Here is an Irishman of
Irishmen with a double d;stillation of
the humor, pathos, passion and pugna-
city of his race, O'Connor is made up
of equal parts of fire, mercury and Wit
riol. That he should explode OCCASION
ally as he did during tue Judas incident
is the most natural thing in the world.
A few years ago he might have been
seen walking along Fleet street in q
shabby suit, with trousers frayed at the
bottom. His ascent has been rapid. 1t
was under his editorial management
that the Star newspaper, the half-penny
organ of l. ndon radicalism, achieved it's
great reputation and became the scourge
of Tory tyranta. Since his connection
with that paper ceased and the success
sion to it's editorial chair of his dearest
foe in politics. James Stuart, there has
been slight check in O'Connor's ad-
vance. But Irish audacity, supple
mented by the adroitness of an Ameri-
can wife, has sufticed to keep him at the
front holding his own.
As popular speaker--in the oratosy
of the stump and the hustings-he has
few equals and no superiors in England.
When the theme is the woes of Ireland
his eloquence is burning and electric.
He is master of the rhetoric of denun-
citation. He tells a story remarkably
we'll and keeps on hand stock of effec-
tive illustrations that might stir the
envy of Chauncey Depew. He bubbles
over With humor, yet the excellence of it
seems to be that it is unconscious.
EO'Connor is 80 gravely severe when he
makes joke that the fun of it is inten.
sifed. The words "Tay Pay" are q
signal for applauding laughter in every
music hall in London. They stir the
Irishman's soul like the sight of sh1l-
lalah. It is very amusing to watch
O'Connor during speech against the
Home Rule bill in the Commons. He
scarce contains himself. His fine face
Pushes crimson; his hands clutch the
bench in front Of him as he leans eagerly
forward; his eyes blaze with holy wrath;
his very souls in arms and eager for the
fray. IL the orator happens to be JOS
eph Chamberlain, O'Connor yells and
foams at the mouth. O'Connors
friends predict that IL he continues at St
Stephens he will yet wear the mantle Of
Ourran.

What Local Papers Say.

Tribune: The Presidents message to
the special session of the Fifty-third
congress is one that will be satisfactory
to business mon everywhere-always ex
cepting those directly interesed in the
silver mining industry. 1t goes straight
to the seat of trouble, even as the sur
geon's lancet darts to the storm center
of a boil.
Times: President Cleveland's message
is clear, concise, mastery analysis of
the financial situation that confronts the
country, and frank, plain and vigorous
statement of the duty which devolves
upon congress in the present grave emer-
gency.
Journal In it's remedial suggestion
it has met the views of the most sub
stantial element in the country. But
while this is the case it is not certain
that congress will recognize pressing ur-
gency in the matter as the President
does There are indications chat there
may be long and protracted debate.
Globe: 1t is worthy Of it's author:
Those who expected that he would trim
or hedge on the silver question, try to
placate the fierce selfshness of the min
ers or equally fierce delusions of the
Populists, will be disappointed. He
speaks plainly and directly, as those WHO
knew him knew he would speak. His
resume of the conditions is terse ana
complete; the picture will meet univer
sal recognition.
Pioneer Press; The message of Pres
ident Cleveland to congress is the strong
est of all his public Documents The in
tensity of a mans convictions and de-
sires has an appreciable effect upon his
style. When he feels that everything is
at stake, he has no place for stage effects
and platitudes. 1t has been the misfor-
tune of Mr.. Cleveland hitherto to be
able to express himself, even upon
really greet occasions, only in the most
involved and ineffective manner. The
special message departs from his stan
dards, and is almost a model in it's way.
