Tax Journal of Commerce praises a remedy

drop* of the mixtnre in three or fonr teaepoon-
fola of water ia a dose, and the Journal com
mends it to the poople everywhere, advising
them to take it whenever they have occasion.

A CmxXi* newspaper ia to be started in San

to instruct their oonntrymen in their own lan
guage as to their right* and wrongs from the
time they land on American roll. The first

the first journalistic venture in China.
Tux New York Commercial Advertiser, a

many “relics of bar*»rism” are still lingering

oar wade-awake cotempo-*ry, “for the variety
they afford ns. The age Is s.ffocatcd with civ-
ilixitlon. It has unsettled the ‘^eet content

Inst of riches; it has raised false standard* u
society, religion and polities, and it has jostled

Tni gentleman who does the epithalaminms
for the Atlanta Herald, had better look to hia
laurels. There is a genius in Memphis who
get* up obituary notices for one of the local pa
pers, who ia fast treading on his heels. Here
ia a sample of his powers. He is speaking of a
reoently deceased infant, and informs us tha t
“she rose os a star and beamed luoently with a
meteoric resplendency along the hoxixon of her
parent*, lightening their pathway with Ibe sheen
of hope." Farther we are told that the little
babe was “a gentle roes, whoee\ernsl freshness
Impregnated the perecta. heart «iih its fr.-
grance of love blow.ug sweetly in the bosquet
fiowara that garlanded thei bapptnese."
male's Rights Reasserted.
Judge Ward Hunt, of the Supreme Court of
tho United States, tho successor of Judge Nel
son, appears to be a very decided Bute's rights
man. In laying down the law in the case of
kilns Susan B Anthony, tried at Canandaigua,
New York, a few days ago, for bsving violated
the law in casting a vote in the election in Naw
Vork last fell, Jodge Hunt held, among other
propositions, the following:
S. The right or privilege of voting ia a right
or privilege arising under the Constitution of
the State, and not of the United States. If the
right belongs to any particular person, it ia be-
oanae anuh person is entitled to it an a citizen
of the Stale where be offers to exercise it, and
not because of citizenship of the United States.
If the State of New York should prondo that do
person should vote unUl be had reached the
age of 31 years, or after he had reached the ege
of 60, or that no person having gray hair, or
who bed not the possession of all his limbs,
should be entitled to vote, I do not see how it
conid be held to be a violation of any right de
rived or held nnder the Constitution
of the Uoited States. He might say
that such regula'ions were uejusf, iyrran-
nicj, anfit for the regulation of an in
telligent State, but if the rights of a citizso
are thereby violated, they are of that funda
ments! class derived from bis position ay a oiti
zen of the Slate, and not those limited rights
belonging to him as a citizen of the United
States, and such waa the decision in Cornfield
ve CarryeiL If the Legislature of New York
•boald require a higher qualification in a voter
for a representative in Congress than ia re
quired for a voter for a member of the Assem
bly, this wonld, I conceive, be a violation of a
right belonging to one as oitizen of the United
States. Tb&t right is in relation to a Federal
enbjret or interest, and oan be guaranteed by
tbe Federal Constitution. The inability of a
Slate to abridge the right of voting on account
of race, oolor or previous condition of servitnde,
is a Federal guaranty. Ita violation would be
the denial of a Federal right—that is, a right
belonging to the olaimant as a citizen of the
United States. Thia right herein exists by vir
tue of the Fifteenth Amendment only. If the
Fifteenth Amendment bad contained Iho word
“«ex” the argument of the defence wonld have
been potent. She wonld have said an attempt
by a State to deny the right to vote because one
19 of a particular sex. Is expres-ly prohibited by
that amendment. The amendment does not
oontain that word. It is limited to race, color
or previons condition of servitude.
4'h. Toe New York Legislature haa seen fit
to say that the fracobise of voting shall be
limited to tbe male sex. Not only does this
section asanme that tbe right of male inhabi
tants to vote waa the especial object of its pro
tection, bn! it assumes and admits the right of
a State, notwithstanding the existence of that
danae nnder wbiob tbe defendant claims to the
oontrary, to deny to any of tbe male inhabitants
tbe right to vote which is allowed to other male
inhabitants Tbe regulation of the suffrage ia
conceded to the States as a State’s right.
The New York Express regards thia as “some*
thing positively refreshing,” and adds t “The
Judge who succeeds Jodge Nelson, seems to be
imbned not only with some of the old-fashioned
ideas of hia predecessor, bnt to state them with
a force and logie that proves their correctness.
States then have righta of their own, and one
of them is tbe right to aay who shell vote, and
New York having raid who shall vote, it is not
in the provinee of the Federal aonatitntion to
change the use of this right Snoh a deoision,
in the faoe of what we have seen and read for
many years poet, comes to na like good news
trom a far country, or oold water to • thirsty
soul.”
Tbe Cholera fa Tennessee.
In Nashville, according to a dispatch received
at Knoxville, pbysiciana say cholera has modi
fied to tbe form of a flax whlob is giving a good
deal of trouble. In Chattanooga, on tbe 2G:b.
there were many cases of cholera and seven
deaths. The day before there were three chol
era dealbs. Diarrhoea waa almost universal,
and tbo physicians complained that tbe nte of
opiates to oheck it rendered reaotion impossible
in cholera cases Tbe nnmber of cholera deaths
so far in Chattanooga has been tbirty-fonr. In
Greenville, East Tennessee, two deaths and two
hopeless cates were reported on the 25th. In
Knoxville, only one death Is mentioned by tbo
Press and Herald of the 25th—that of Mr. R. H.
Brown—a oorpolent man—who bad been eating
recklessly of vegetable* and fruits—hail over
heated himself and drank immoderately of Ice-
water. Tbe Frees and Herald claims that there
is no cose of real oholera in Knoxville.
Utilizing Sewerage.
Tho New York correspondent of the New
Orleans Herald writes that the question of
ntilizing the waste of oitiee i* attracting much
attention in that oity in view of the filthy condi
tion of tho streets and tho reeking filth that ia
exudad from tbe sewers. The Herald has re
oently devoted considerable spaee to the quea
tion of sewer ntilizition, and the World is now
engaged in a stiff crusade against the health
authorities in not cleaning the streets. In thia
matter England ia far ahead of thia country. A
five years trial in English oilies shows that the
waste of eities worked np Into fertilizers, yield*
a profit over and above expenses of $4 for each
inhabitant per year. New York, with a million
population, can aasiiy make Us waste worth
$4 000 000 per yeer, end I learn that an English
company is now endeavoring to introdnoe that
system here, with the ultimate view of extend
ing it to all tbe great cities of this continent
There ia no reason why New Orieans should not
realize fonr dollars a year upon the basis of ench
inhabitant Baltimore, by an expensive proceas,
is saving nearly a quarter of a million by work
ing np it* waste into fertilizers, and probably
by tbe English process wonld derive a revenue
of $350,000 or $400 000 yearly,
AUnlrii In’ Mississippi.
A Mississippi letter rays: “The situation of
State polities Is very oomplioated. Along
the Mississippi and Tombeohee rivers are lo
cated a large nnmber of negroes, who in elec
tion time* make np a State majority of 20,000.
Tbe result ia, that while the negroes can elect a
Governor and control the State Senate, they
cannot chooae a majority of county representa
tives. United States Senator Amoe’ term is
aboot to expire. His sneoessor must bo rati
fled by the Lower House. Thie will necessi-
tale a ‘scrub race,’ and B. D. Nabors, who once
defeated Jacob Thompson, has been brought
forward, almost from tbe catacombs, to manip
ulate the negro vote, and perhaps to go to the
United States Senate. No other man, white or
black, is so popular with the Mississippi ne
groes as ia Nabers. Ex-Govemor Alcorn, fiod-
ing the prospects decidedly against his election
to the United States Senate, has persnaaed hi*
friends to influence parties who wonld not sup
port him to veto for Naber*. Ames and Pow
ers are both seeking the Senate for tbe next
term, and if Nabera can succeed—a3 many
think he will—in securing the white vote and
that of Aloorn’a friends, Amss and Powers
have no chmee. Indeed, the situation is so
actions for Ames that Ben Bntler is coming here
to canvass the Stato in tho interest of his son-
in-law.
For tlie Cholera.
From the New York Journal of Commerce ]
More than forty years ago, when it wra focnl
that preventation for the Asiatio cholera wks
easier than rare, the learned doctors of both
hemispheres drew np a prescription, which was
published (for working people) in the New York
San and took the name of the “San cholera
mixture.” Onrcontemporaryneverlentit3name
to a better article. We have seen it in constant
use for nearly two scare year*, and found it to
be the beat remedv for looseness of the bowels
ever yet devised.' It is to be commended for
several reasons. It is not to be mixed with
liquor, and therefore will not be used as an al-
cobolio beverage; its ingredients are well known
among aU the common people, end it will have
*o prejudice to combat; each of tho materials
is r. equal proportion to the others, and it may
therefore be compounded without profesaional
skill; and. as the dose is so very email, it may
be carr»a j a , tiny phial in the waistcoat
pocket, a-a be always at band. It ia:
Tinct. opii,
Capsid,
Rbei co.,
Janth pip.,
wiipjjo.
Mix tho above in equal parts; dose, ten to
thirty drops. In plait, terms, take equal parts
tinotnre of opinm, red (bpper, rhnbard, pepper
mint and camphor, and n; X them for nse. In
oase of diarrkei, take a di*e of ten to twenty
drops in three or fonr terapomfol of water. No
one who haa this by him, and takes it in time,
will ever have the cholera. Wt oommend it to
oar Western friends, and hope *iat the recipe
will be widely published. Even wL>n no cholera
ia anticipated, it ia an excellent remedy for
ordinary summer oomplaint.

Blackberry jam and pies next winter will make

Theez la hard sense In the following from
tho Coiambus San, and it suits all latitudes
too:
Colton fields are fall of grass. The greatest
exertion ia required to get it out. Labor is in
great demand and at high figures. Such ia the
condition, and while the situation is so critical
the colored troops are hiring trains and making
excursions all over the country, careless of what
becomes of com and cotton. Snch things are
nuisances. It wonld pay farmers to hire trains
ahead of them and refuse their nse to the ool-
ored troops; cotton plantations would be much
better off thereby.
The same paper says there is now little doubt
of the Guards of that city contending for the
$500 premium offered to tbe beet drilled com
pany at tbe State Fair in October.
Thst is a very “film boy ant" yonth who
does" the Athens marriages for the Atlanta
Herald. His lset performance is to compare the
bride to a “lily cradled in the golden glimmer
of some evening lake—a foam fleck anowy yet
ana-flashed, crowning the ripplings of some soft
sonihern seawhile the poor groom is repre
sented ra looking “dazed and bewildered, as if
crouching in the too strong sunshine of some
whelming happiness.” Can anything bo more
*sveetly pretty,” more meliflaonalv gushing ?
Commenting npon the settiDg of tbe late
San, of Atlanta, the Chronicle and Sentinel
aays aU the dead are not yet numbered and adds:
“Papers ere ceasing to be political machines.
Journalism is becoming as legitimate a business
aa tb&t of the dealers in drags or dry goods, and
requires first a field and then ospital, energy
and industry to make it a success. Without
the employment of these requisites, all efforts
will be futile, nnocess be an impossibility.
Attempts rosy bo made to establish papers
where the field is fully occupied, but though
the; mty straggle along for a while, and eke
oat a precarious existence, they mart eventually
anocamb to the Inevitable, and entail loss npon
those who make tbe dangerons experiment.”
The Albany Central Oity reports a freshet in

Ohoueba.—The Atlanta Herald of yesterday
reports six deaths in Chattanooga from cholera
on Thursday, and adds:
SiNTTABT PnzcauTxoNB xs Atllnta On yes
terday there was another rnmor (hat a case of
cholera bad appeared in this city, and again,
npon investigation, the report proved to be ut
terly false. It appears that the person who was
supposed to hnve oholera had eaten heartily of
watermelons on Tuesday, and was attacked by
diarrhoea on the following merning. A physi
cian was oalled, and yesterday morning he was
jerfectly well. The action of the City Connell,
n prohibiting the sale of watermelons, nnripe
fruit, stale vegetables, fish, eta, created mnoh
excitement yesterday among dealers in those
articles. Several persons who had invested
largely in watermelons and bad received large
numbers of them, were in a state of consterna
tion at tbs prospect before them, aod were en
deavoring to dispose of what they bad on hand.
Some of them declared their intention of suing
the oity for damaoes to the extent of the loss
'hey will inoar by the ordinance. Should they
dr this and gain their units, it will be batter for
the city to pay the money than to havo permit
ted the sale of any article calculated to breed
oholera By tbe great majority of our citizens,
the aetion of the Connoil was heartily endorsed.
As will be seen by Mayor Hammock’s proclama
tion, tbe ordinance will be rigidly enforced. It
is, therefore, to be hoped that dealers in fish,
vegetable and frnits, will be carefnl and not sell
any of tbe inUrdioted articles.
Or Colonel Hardeman’s address at the late
commencement of Yonng Femalo College, at
Thomasvills, the Enterprise says :
The wide reputation of this gentleman, as a
scholar and statesman bad already prepared onr
people to expect a rare entertainmont on this
occasion, and they were not disappointed. His
address was peculiarly appropriate in anbstanoe
and felicitous in expression, thrilling the whole
andienoe with his eloqneoco, and greatly in
creasing his reputation and influence in this
section.

Bibb Count! Faib.—The Dawson Journal
has the following notioe of the late fair:
It was onr pleasure to be in attendance the
last day at the Bibb Oonnty Fair, and if we wero
not afraid of being accused of over-reaohing in
onr remarks, we wonld specify in detail the
sights we beheld. Being jealons, however, of
onr repntation for truth, we leave the reader to
imagine what is perfection in the way of veget
ables, flowers, farm prod acts, eto , and if yon
have not the gift of ttretehing the imagination
beyond anything ever seen or rend of in this
section, it will be impossible for yon to con
ceive of what we saw as prodnota of the farm
and garden at the Bibb Oonnty Fair. Added
to these was a varied display of the works of
art and mechanism which made a show worthy
larger pretensions, A heavy rain in the even-
tng eerionsly interfered with the carrying ont
of the programme—entirely doing away
with the regatta, and detracting some
what from the interest of the milking
contest, the baby show and horse-back riding.
So far as the milking was concerned, if we
knew of a man who wanted twenty milk-maids
and would not take either of the yonng ladies
who entered the contest for the soore, we wonld
conclude that he was not anxions to employ.
The baby Bhow was limited as to numbers of
contestants, bat cot s few remarked that many
others wonld have entered for tbe beautiful car.
riage if the rain had not kept them at home.
Among those who entered we raw beauty rep
resented in all its forms, and the greatest marvel
to ns was how their fond parents, with the em
barrassments Bnrronnding ns all sinoe the war,
conid have saved cnoogh from their income to
attire them in Bnch rich costnme. Altogether,
the fair was a success beyend the expectations
of its moat ardent supporters, and we have yet
to see the vieitor who does not feel benefitted
by his attendance.
The Journal calls onr Park the “Eden of the
South,” and says the people of Macon ought to
erect a atatne to Mayor Huff, in honor of his
labors in laying out and beautifying it.
Coma Mine in Gbeexe Cocntt. — The
Greensboro Herald asys abont fiity years ago
considerable pore copper was discovered on
the surface of lands reoently owned by Jndge
Tngg’e, situated in Greene county about three
miles from Union Point A company waa
formed and a shaft fortyfeet deep was opened,
going below tbe copper vein without touching
it; the work was then abandoned. The works
remained intact. Quite reoently a new com
pany has been formed with a capital of $10,000,
all cf which will be expended, if necessary, in
fully developing the resources of the mine.
They have a twenty horse power engine, and
are slowly progressing with their work. A tun
nel of 28 feet carries them to tbe bottom of the
vein, which is exceedingly rich in pure copper.
They have already brought to the surface many
tons of ore mixed with dirt. The valoe of this
mixtnre is estimated at$73per ton, yielding from
15 to 35 per cent of copper. This estimate ia
not from their last analysis, which ia ranch
richer. It also contains sulphur in large quan
tities, which may readily be converted into sul
phuric acid, for which there ia great demand aa
s moans of converting the bone phosphate into
soluble rnstter resdy for the fanner. As yet
cone of the ore haa been shipped, bnt arrange
ment* are making to do so at onoe, making
Baltimore their market. According to ita pres
ent measurement and estimatedTalne, it is placed
at $800,000.
A Brr or Yillunt.—A few weeks sinoe, rays
the Sandersville Herald, a yonng man, Aaron
Peyser by name, came to this place, for the
purpose of doing some work for a gentleman of
thia city. Hia wardrobe being rather scant, we
presume, he concluded after ■ stay of a few
days, to replenish from that of a gentleman to
whose bed room be had aoeeas. He waa detec
ted in the theft, the stolen goods being found
safely, as he supposed, donbUees, deposited in
hia valke. Being a yonng man, a stranger and
friendless, tbe sympathies of the people ware
aroused in hia behalf, and ha arms permitted to
depart in peace, after paying the oost of inves
tigation and returning the stolen property. For
this leniency it is natural to suppose he wonld
have felt very grateful. It seems, however,
that hia sentiments were quite the reverse.
Upon leaving here be hies away to a Federal
official and prefers charges against two of onr
beat citizens—men above suspicion, on* a lead
ing member of tbs Bar snd the other a promi

sician—as violators of the Infernal (beg par
don, that f ought to have been a t,) Revenue
Law. On Monday last two United States offi
cers were here to require the presence of these
gentlemen before a Federal tribunal. It is
useless to say the entire community is perfectly
indignant. That the gentlemen will be able to
establish their innooence, there can be no
donbt.

News of yeeterday Bays:
Yesterday morning onr attention was oalled

the fatal prevalenee of Asiatio cholera in lh a

and suggestions are taken:
'' To oombat and arrest the progress and pre
vent the epidemic prevalence of this soonrgo of
sanitary negligence it is necessary that the in
habitants of every city and town should promptly
resort to the most effectual purification, and the
best known means of disinfection, and that this
sanitary cleansing Bnd preparation should be at
onee and very thoroughly oarried into effeot—
before any oases of cholera ooonr— and that in
tbe presence of the disease these sanitary duties
should be enforoed in every bonsehold and
throughout the entire district. Experience has
proved that tbe best way (o prevent both pesti
lence and panic ia to know and prepare for the
danger. It is the only way to deal successfully
with cholera.”
After enumerating tbe local conditions that
chiefly promote the outbreaks and propagation
of oholera, snch as foul cellars or drains, decay
ing animal and vegetable matter, unventilated
and damp bnildings. eto., the circular prooeeds
to insist npon the necessity of personal cleanli
ness and temperanoe to ensure health. The
disiofeotsnt recommended by tbe oironlar is
composed of .eight or ten pounds of snlphate of
iron (copperas) dissolved in five or six gallons
of water, with half a pint of erode carbolio add
added to the eolation, and briskly stirred, makes
the cheapest and beat disinfeoting fluid for com
mon nse. It oan be proenrod in every town
and by every family, and if the oarbolio acid is
not at haul, tbe solution of copperas may be
need without it.
The oironlar, after reiterating the absolute’
necessity for closnlin°sa and tne immediate
disinfection cf all matters discharged from the
stomsch and the bowels of the patient, con
cludes with the following hopefnl paragraph:
“From being tbe most feared and destruc
tive pestilence, cholera, has beoorns entirely
submissive to sanitary measures of prevention,
and oan now be controlled with snch certainty
and completeness as to prevent Us ravages as
an epidemlo. Believing, therefore, that tbe
people of the United States will wisely apply
tbe suggestions which are given in this mem
orandum, tbe committee presents them for tbe
pnrpose of hastening and making sure the most
extensive, thorough and speedy ooctrol of this
destroyer.”
A Great Flower Garden.
Colonel Avery, of the Atlanta Constitution,
who is roaming through the West, writes tbns
from Sk Leu's abont Shaw’s Garden:
You have heard of old bachelors’ whimsies.
There are lot* of them on record. Bnt Henry
Shaw, of St. Louis, haa given practical execn-
tion to the most remarkable bachelors’ crochet
of tbe age.
He is a Scotchman, a millionaire, and some
75 years old. He has constrnoted tho fineBt pri
vate flower garden in the world. It has 350
aores in it, and is a gorgeous marvel of a gar
den. It has every flower in it, obtainable over
tbo world, that will live in the St. Lonis oli-
mate.
It i* a bewildering paradise of floral beanty.
The flowers nnmber by tbe millions. Its cost
no one can tell. Shaw himself don’t know. It
is threaded by walks and adorned with observa
tories and hot bonses foil of the rarest exotics.
A force of a hundred gardeners is needed to
keep tbe place in order. Shaw, it is said, spends
bis entire income from bis millions in keeping
it np. He began the thing after the war, and
for several years he hss opened it to tbe pablio.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors resort to it.
It is the chief attiaction and cariosity for the
stranger in St. Lonis to visit And, strange to
say, no police guard it. and no flowers are pil
fered. This is tbo pnblio’e reverenoe to the
man’s generous enterprise.
We visited tbe elegant house at the head of
the garden. A picture of Shaw represents him
standing amid his flowers. Two elegant por
traits of beantifnl ladies in the garb of a past
day represent some of his female progenitors.
A huge book is kept there for visitors to record
their names in.
A enrions featnre of the garden is beds de
voted to one flower. For instance, there is a
large bed with every variety of cactns; another
with hundreds of verbenas; and so on. Every
thing is in a prodigal profusion.
It is a enrions notion this, that prompts a
rioh man to devote a great income to one pet
caprice, and that principally for the benefit of
others. Bnt in this very caprice, so nnnsnal
and so expensive, is wrapped np ills own per
sonal aspiration. He thns makes his celebrity.
AndwbyBhonld a man not strive to become
known through his mammoth gardens, as well
as through his statesmanship or achievements
of arms or genius.
Sbaw ia near the grave. He baa, in pursn-
ance of his ambition, willed bis gardens to tbe
eity, on condition that the city binds itself to
keep them np. The city has eagerly accepted
the beqnest, and thns, through private liberal
ity, gets without cost, a pablio garden not ear
passed in the world for magnificence and
beanty.
The garden will be forever dabbed “ Shaw’s
Garden,” and he tbns travels on to immortality
on the snocessfal realization of his stupendous
and most beantifnl crochet.
Crops Id the Southwest.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribane of tbe 24th, writes:
I came North from New Orleans by river
steamer to Memphis, and thence by the way of
Chattanooga, Bristol and Lynchburg. While
in New Orleans, nearly fonr weeks, I remember
bnt two days on whioh there was not rain. The
mornings were generally clear and hot until
nearly noon, when the clonds wonld gather and
the rain would deioend in torrents for perhaps
an hoar. In the afternoon the snn wonld shine
ont again, and in the evening we were likely
to have another shower. This excessively wet
weather has greatly injured the prospects for
good crops. All along the sugar coast of the
Mississippi the grass among the cane was as high
as tha cane itself, and in many places water was
standing between the rows. I saw very few fields
where any plowing had been done, and plant
ers were very despondent. I also met several gen
tlemen from the Bayou Teche country, who said
the sugar crop there wonld be greatly injured
unless the rains ceased very soon. The sugar
planters are also suffering for want of money
with which to pay the expenses of running
their plantations. The partial failure of the
sugar crop last year “broke” come of the fac
tors ; the political troubles of the winter and
spring have caused the money market to be
“tight,” and the present unpromising condition
of the crops make* the merchants unwilling to
risk advanoea. Unless the rains cease very
soon many of the planters will be rained, aa the
profits on their crops will not be enough to
pay their taxes. The sugar planters cannot look
forward io high prices to remunerate them for
their short crops, since the amount of sugar
produced in the United States is so small in
comparison with the amount consumed that the
size of the crop haa very little effect on the
price.
North of the sugar belt, along the Mississippi
river, in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, the
northern. part of Alabama, and the southern
part of Tennessee, the rains have also been ex-
oeksive and have already considerably injured
the cottcai crop. In Arkansas around Helena,
and in Misaizaippi north of Greenville, I raw
tbe first cotton fields in which any great amount
of work had been done, and it waa not until
after passing Chattanooga that I saw cotton
field* that did not appear to have been injured.
The ootton planters, I think, have, on the
whole, better prospect* than the sugar planters,
because s short atop of ootton will cause an ad-
vanoe in prioe. Besides this, the ootton
planters have mnoh leas money invested in each
plantation and are leas dependent on the mer.
chants for advanoea.
The last rain that I saw waa at Bristol, near
the line between Tennessee and Virginia. Tbe
grasses whioh oonatitnte the principal crop of
Southwestern Virginia are locking unusually
well, and the yield will, I should think, be above
the average.
The country between Lynchburg and Wash
ington has suffered as muoh for the want of
rain as the Southwest has from the excess of it.
The wheat is generally thin, and the oorn looks
parched and yellow. The tobacco is just begin
ning to show itself above the ground, and it is
as yet impossible io ray what effeot the weather
will have npon tbe crop.
