The Com and Cotton Crop.
Washington, December 15.—The fol
lowing is the condition of tho cotton and
com crop as furnished by the Departmenl
of Agriculture:
The cotton returns from correspondents
for the month ending December 1st, 1879,
substantially confirm the report of the
month previous. The weather has been
favorable in all sections of the cotton belt.
Reports of the product west of tho Missis
sippi river are more favorable and will in
crease the aggregate of Texas, Louisiana
and Arkansas over that reported last
month.
Thc following is a synopsis of the re-
orts:
'' North Carolina—Five counties re
port the product averaging 5 per cent,
more than last year. Twenty-two coun
ties average 25 per cent. less, and six the
same.
South Carolina.—One county re
ports 20 per cent, more, eleven an average
of 17 per cent, less, and two the same.
Georgia—Twelve report an average of
12 per cent, more; thirty-two report 20 per
cent, less, and nine as last year.
Florida—None report more; eleven
report an average of tenper cent, less, and
two the same.
Alabama—One reports 10 per cent,
more; fifteen average 16 per cent, less,
and eight the same.
Mississippi—Fourteen average 20 per
cent, more; fourteen are 10 per cent, less,
and three are the same.
Louisiana—Four report an average of
15 per cent- more; ten report 10 per cent,
less, and one the same.
Texas—Nine counties report an aver
age of 24 per cent, more than last year,
thirty-five counties report an average of
39 per cent, less, and eight the same.
Arkansas—Nineteen counties report
20 per cent, more; six average 16 per
cent, less, and five the same.
Tennessee—Nine report 15 per cent,
more; two average 20 per cent, less; seven
the same.
Com.—The com crop during November
depredated through imperfect ripening in
our heaviest growing regions—the States
north of the Ohio river and Missouri,
some States falling off 10 per cent. This
will reduce the average yield per acre of
the whole country to twenty-nine bushels,
which is exceeded by that of only one
former year—twenty-nine and four-tenths
In 1875. This reduces tho aggregate pro
duction about 55,000,000 bushels from the
November figures, but still leaves the crop
larger than any previous year by 150,000,-
000 bushels. Tho States and Territories of
tho Mississippi return orer 100,000,000
bushels more than in 1878.

duced an amendment to tho Senate joint

otherwise a legal tender, and any of said
notes that shall thereafter lie issued, shall
bear this subscription.” Referred to the
Finance Committee.
The Vice President * presented a com
munication from the Postmaster General
recommending deficiency appropriations
of $205,212 for exigencies of service
caused by the extension of star routes and

Sew Books.
The Abbe’s Temptation, by Emile Zola,
translated by John Stirling; T. B. Pe
terson & Brothers, Philadelphia. Price
75 cents, in paper.
The above is the title of the latest pub
lication of the translation of the great
French Novelist, Emile Zo^t, by Messrs.
Peterson, of Philadelphia. The present
work stands out in striking contrast to
L’Assamoir, received a few days since.
There the scenes depicted areTound in pla
ces where harsh lines cannot but be seen,
and places described which are full of
crime and degradation.
The Abbe’s Temptation, however, while
dealing with lowly life with hardly the
rustle of a silk dress or the flash of a dia
mond about it, though depicting the de
graded condition of the French peasantry,
paints, in the hero of the work, a charming
picture of purity and teaches a lesson well
worth the learning. The general reader,
who is but slightly acquainted with the
genius of M. Zola, wonders that he is the
author of both.
The Abbe Mauret is the devoted cure of a
poor village whose people are steeped in
vice and degradation. He leads a blame
less life. Arduous toil and midnight vig
ils dethrone his mind and he is taken to
a deserted village, where he is placed in
charge of a half wild neice of his uncle,
Dr. Pascal. Here his mind is gradually
restored, and with it comes strength and
love. The remainder of the book should
be read to fully appreciate its pure, simple
and pathetic love passages.
What a Pily;
that the otherwise beautiful girl should
have such bad teeth. And all because
she did not use SOZODONT. It costs so
little to buy it considering the good it
does, and its benefits stretch out into her
uture life. Poor girl! declOlw
