The General Avar.-.are for the Whole Breadth Shows an Advance of 3 Per cent—The Returns and Condition by states—The Report on Other crops. Washington, July 10.—The July returns to the department of agriculture show some improvement in cotton’s oonditiou during the month of June. The goneral average for the whole breadth has advanced three points, standing at 88.6. This is three points beiow the July returns last year, and oue above that of 1889. In but four seasons since 1871, have the July returns been so low. Slight improvement has been quite general throughout the whole belt, the result of favorable weather during the month. The crop U universally late, rangiug locally from a few days to two weeks or more. In the Atlantic and Eastern Gulf states especially, the plant is small and backward, and lack */ suitable weather for choppi g out has made the fields very grassy. Germination was slow and imperfect, and replanting failed to secure perfect starts. SOME AREAS PLOWED UP. Locally considerable ureas have been piowed up and given to other crops, or abandoned entirely. From Mississippi westward the plant, while somewhat back ward, is of good color, and is making gen erally a vigorous grow th. While planta tions, running a suliiciei.t number of plows are reasonably clean, thore is some com plaint of lack of labor. The outlook in Texas is especially good. The plant is vigorous, ti e fields well worked and fruiting has begun. Worms are reported from but two coun ties, oth in Texas, not even the invasion of the first brood being n >ted anywhere else. The returns of condition by states are as follows: Virginia 82, North Carolina 77, South Carolina fed, Georgia 85, Florida 94, Alabama 87, Mississippi 91, Louisiana 90, Texas 95, Arkansas 98, Tonne .see 82. The temperature of the month was above normal throughout utmost the entire region. The rainfall, while rather short generally, was sufficient, and this fa ornble combination of meteorologi cal conditions enabled the crop to re cover somewhat from the unfavorable earlier senson. The lateness of the plant will make the final outcome unusually de pendent on the length of the season. CONDITION OF OTHER CROPS. The July report of tiie department of agriculture makes t'ue acreage as compared witu tie brev :th harvested last year: Of corn 108.3, po atorai 102.3, tobuaeo 101. li. Condition—Corn 911.8, winter wheat 9C.il, spring wheat94.l, rye 93.9, oats 87.6, bar ley 9 i.9, potatoes 95.3, tobacco 91.1. The heavy i crease in the corn acreage is more apparent than the real comparison is with the breadth harvested last year, when there was a loss of 6,000,000 acres by abandonment on account of drought. The present returns makes the aorouge less than 7s, IXIO,OOO acres, or somewhat smaller than the area actually planted last year. Kansas ari l Nebraska naturady show a large in crease but this area apparently dee* not exceed that harvested in JBB9. THE CROP LATE. Tho crop is late in all sections on aooount of drought and unfavorable conditions cf the tune of planting and cool weather dur ing May, but June was warm, with abund ant moisture, and the crop was coa.iug forward rapidly on July 1. Iu the Ohio and Uppor Mississippi vulieys the progress dol ing the mouth was especially' gratifying, but iu Kansas and Nebraska considerable damage resulted from excessive rainfall. Iu many districts tho June rains prevented proper working, leaving Iho Holds foul, but a few days of sunshine would remedy tnis. The general average is a fraction below that of 1888 and 1890, and slightly nb .ve that of 1889. WINTER WHEAT. The coudiion of winter wheat is returned as practically the same as In June. The crop is harvested except ill its more north ern habitat, with the condition the highest reported since 1879 with one exception, fcSb far as can bo judged at the time of the harvest the berry is reported generally plump and iu keeping with heivy struw, but occasional mention is made of short bawls. The averages of the principal states are: Pennsylvania, 98;Ohio, 97; Michigan, 89; Indiana, 99; Illinois, 98; Missouri, 98; Kansas, 94; California, 93. The condition of 6prmg wheat improved daring June, tho advanco being in Minne sota and the Dak ;tus, where the month was exceptionally favorable. Chinch b igs have appeared in portions cf the northwest, but with no upprecioble damage yet. The stato averages are: Wisconsin 77, Minnesota 93. Tuva 98, Nebraska 96, North Dakota 98, South Da.iota 97, Washington 98. OATS AVERAGE LOW. Oats have improved during the month, hut the general average is the lowest re ported since 1879, except in 1887. and last 'oar whoa the July condition of 81.6 was followed by the nracrical failure of the crop. I he noor condition is generally the lesult of drought early iu the season, the present im provement having followed the seasonable rains and high temperature of June. The first return of potatoes shows the condition higher than the average of recent years, while that of tobacco is higher thn In any year since 1886. ..Th® fruit prospect is very flattering in New Lr.giand and the North Atlantic states ana west of the Missouri river to thel’ucitio coast. A special cable from the European agent indicates a heavy deficiency in tho European rye crop, * TOBACCO IN GEORGIA.

A Fatercon couple Who Constructed a Bed of Coffin Boards. Front Pip Philadelphia Times. Paterson, N. J., July 7.—For several weeks past Patrolman Lord of this city, whose beat is fn the vicinity of the old bury ing ground, night after night saw a strange couple enter tbe Episcopal graveyard, but would never see them leave it. Las! even ing they entered it as usual, and the officer decided to wait until darkness set in and then make an investigation. At 11 o’clock Lord and a companion secured a lan tern anti started on a tour of investigation. When almost on the point of giving up the hunt they discovered the man and his companion fas asleep in a vault. They had torn the board* from the coffins and from them constructed a bunk, on which they siept for eeveral weeks. A number of cof fins lay scattered about, while on the stone Hoorlay human hones and several grinnitjg skulls. Why they selected such a gruesome spot, as a resting place is a mystery. This morning when taken before Judge Stewart the man said his name was Jotin Purvey and that of the woman Kate Walls. They were sent to prison for one yoar each. S’OwNED HER SISTfcR.

Kew York, June 29.—Miss Lizzie Cun ningham, a pretty brunette from Ireland, received the surprise of her life at the barge officer yesterday. Lizzie with a cousin, ar rived on the City of Chicago, and the pair waited at the barge office for the arrival of relative*. In the afternoon Lizzie’s sister turned up and the greeting was very cordial until tbe latter pulled theccveriugoff a 2- mo.iths’-o!d babe which she carried in her arms. The babe was ebony in its blaozness and Miss Cunningham fainted at the spec tacle. The mother of the infant tried to ex plain to Lizzie that th child was well do rivod, at the same time beckoning to a sturdy colored man who stood In tbe t aek grou td. The colored man approaohed to bo introduced to his sister-in-law, but Lizzie refused to notice him. The colored man said he was not a Hibernian, but that his name was McGraw.

Reieocs for Supposing It W ill Not i Thrive—Northern Flowers In Florida. Florida Letter in the .Veto York Sun. The project that has been started for raising cocoanuts on a largo scale in Flor ida is, as the Sun says, very interesting, | but there aro eertiin conditions there which make the project one of doubtful success, aud these conditions ought to be under stood by capitalists about to put money into such a venturo. 1 have soma practical i knowledge of t ie capabilities of Florida aud I have passed considerab e time among the i islands of the South Pacific where the cocoa ; palm has its home, and what I say is not a ; mere matter of theory. The tree is essentially a tropical produe ! tion, and, although there are some spots outside the limits of the tropics w here it is to be found, it cannot bo said to thrive iu those places as it should do to make it a commercial success. But even within tho tropics it is a fastidious tree —even more so than the olive, and it must have ex.ctly the conditions that it wants before it will do its be-t as a fruit b arer. Are tiiose conditions to be found in Flor ida* In my answer to this I w ish it to be understood that my remarks apply to a latitude south of St. Augustine. The coral formation of Florida is very differently set from that of most cf the Pacific islands, aud I know from personal investigation that much of tho calcareous mail that we hear of in tnat state has no exist ence except in the circulars of land specu lators. It is most abundant in Union county, but generally the coral formation, where it occurs, lies deep, and the following analysis of soil from Volusia, one of the most praised counties in the peninsula, will, perhaps, serve to correct s me too popular improssions. It was mado by the agricul tural department, as follows : Moisture 1.05 Organic matter . 7.00 Matter soluble in acid 2 : 0 White sand 89.33 Total 100.00 Florida has not a tropical climate. It is hardly semi tropical. It sounds well to La told that the average temperature in m .i --mer is 82“, and in winter 59", but I have seen the thermometer at 10" in Alachua cuuntv. In ISSO and 1881 ice three inches thick formed, iu 1878-’79 there was a long and severe frost. A winter without frost is rare, and the cold may extend down to Key West. In 1881 lea .v icicles more than a foot Img hanging from the house roofs. 1 mention these facts merely to show that it is an error to suppose that Florida partakes •if the climate that prevails in the West Indies. 11< rficulturists know that neither latitude r.or the thermometer is always a safe guide t > the possibilities of vegetation. Main' plants can withstand a New York winter that oouid not be left out with safety iu Germany, and, conversely, some that are hardy in Europe would perish hero. The c (fee pluut, whose habitat is 8° from the equator, will grow in Florida, although lam skeptical of its value there; and, on the other hand, trees which are indigenous on the most southern shores of Tasmania will not survive a Florida winter. The English walnut is grown with some success iu Texas and California, but thus far it has completely failed in Florida. More than a century ago the olive was introduced there, and in 1817 congress voted some money to encourage tho cultivation, but it has not succeeded; though iu Mouth Carolina Mir, R. Chisholm has some fine trees. A Few years ago I experimented with about forty species of foreign trees, chiefly from Australia and tho South Pacific islands. I selected them for utility either as ornament or timber, or on account of the commercial value of their products. At first I estimated my success at about 20 per cent. The seed had come to in* froul the Pacific countries direct or from Kew or from Washington. Sixty per cent failed to vegetate, and at leas 1 ) half of the young plants soon decided that they were in the wrong place and died off. The several species of eucalyptus,acacia, casuarina, pit tosporum, meleuea, oallistemon aud a few others promised weil. The acaoias grew rapidiy, and pro duced an abundance of flowers iu tho second year. Several specimens of the eucalyptus globulus attained a hight of thirty feet iu four years. Somewhat to my surprise a few W eliingtouias or sequ ias seouied well satis fied with their surroundings, aud for a while I had hop* sof being rcaliy a boae factor. But the winter of 1880-’Bl killed every troe I had. The frost struck ail to the ground except one euoalyptus, and about live feet of that had enough vitality loft to try to produce a now foliage. But It ul timately gave up the tusk and died. Yet some ot the plants which thus failed to with stand a Florida winter are indigenous in 4'>’ aud 43" of south latitude. After this experience L cannot fee! much confidence in the eoeoanut palm on Florida soil, although 1 should be glad to see it suc cessful there, for, apart from its oommorcial value, it would be decidedly ornameutal on the sandy shores of the peninsula. But, without riiy own experiments to influence me, I should still be doubtful, for Ido not think that either the climate or the soil is such as to make the cocoauut commaroially valuable. It is one thing to grow a fruit aud quite another thing to grow it to pay. I have grown onions in Florida that were nearly sixteen inches in circumference, but they cost mo 11 14 each. It may interest soma of the Sun’s readers if I add a few observations oil tbo effects of soil and climate in Florida. Roses deterior ate rapidly there. Such favorites as La Rein*. Perle des Jardins, Letty Coles, Em pres* of India end Jules Margotton passed out of recognition in two years, while the old damask and a few of hors blossom freely aud retain their character. Dahlias, pema teinons, also tho fusohla, tritoma (so abun dant at Gibraltar), pieony, caiceolaria, hol- Ivho -It, cineraria, and some lilies were almost certain failures; carnations, siniiax and even pansies were less uncertain; verbe nas, balsams, zinnias and celosias do well; petunias thrive luxuriantly, aud malvas,’ inarantas and ealadiums are at home. Tuberoses are easy of culture, but the funkia dislikes the sun, and tigridias, though so close to their native place, cannot withstand ihe summer rains. Tho several magnolias, noriura, gardenia, craps myrtle and pomegranate, and even the laurustinus manages to got along, but such shrubs as the evdonia, syringa, dentzia eytisas kalmlc, azafia, lilac and rhododen dron must be reserved for other state*. By the way, why is not the laurustinus more frequency growa in the middle and northern states? METEORS AND METEORITE?. A Mine of the Latter D'scovored Out in Oregon. From Vie Washington Star. A handful of small meteorites was re ceived the ether day at the office of the geological survey in Washington from a man out in tho northeast corner of Oregon. Ho Baid that they were loose specimens from a nickel mine that he had discovered, and he wanted them assayed, beoause there were vast quantities more in the place ho got them from. Mineralogist Day Is under the ! impression that, for the first time in ecien tillc history, a mine of meteoritou has been | struck. It is not surprising that the floder should ! suppose ho had lighted upon surface indiea [ tions of nickel, afier a rude asay, inasmuch as these projectiles from the heavens, though consisting mostly of iron, contain usuallv a large percentage of the substance so com monly used us a metallic i oneer. The hand ful in question are about 65 per cent, iron, 30 per cent, nickel and the rest cobalt, which last is a metal somewhat resembling nickel. The proportion of nickel is uncommonly large for meteorites. Dr. Day believes that the Oregon man ; must have come upon a gully, into which, j uuiier very extraordinary conditions, a great number of meteorities had been drifted by the action of water from a vast expanse of hillside where they had fallen. Hail stones are often similarly plied up. There is no difficulty in determining tho faettha t the specimens discussed are ru-teoritns, in asmuch as such bodies are nearly alnvs composed of just about the same materials in definite proportions, though wtiv no oue has ever been able to explain. Meteors are very curious things. The or dinary ones, called “Shooting’’ or “falling star*,’’ mostly are consumed before they reach the earth. They take fire In passing through the atmosphere by friction with I the air. On any fine night one mav see an average of eight or ten f them in an hour, while a practical observer will catch sight of twioe that number. At intervals the earth passes through great meteor trains on its passage tUrougu suae - in the tremendous journey the solar system is making towaid the constellation Hercules, iu the north, and on Such o cations tho display of celestial fireworks is amazing. As many as 10,090 i(letters have been observed within two hours. But the most interesting meteors are the big o es, naturally. One such is an event. It traverses the sky in a flame, usually ex plodes with a detonation, and finally buri s Itself in the ground. Sou etimos it explode* before renohing the er.rth. The gigantic niotor known historically as L’Aigle, burst over France in 1803 and scattered its ina torial over seven miles square. The average distance from the earth of the meteors called "shooting stars"’is about sixty miles, aud tliolr rapidity of motion varies from ton to fifty mile* a second. The earth’s rate of progress in its orbit is nineteen miles per second. There is upon the earth a contin uous rain of meteorites iilway*, and it has been estimated that 20,000,000 such, big enough to be called shooting stars if seen at night, fall upon tptt plHuet every twenty four h6urs. 8 • Tho appearance of a really big meteorite is always au event worth recording. From time to time such monsters tr on outer space alight upon tho earth and occasion a sensation. For example, on the ovening of Dec, 2. 1876, people iu Kansas taw a bright ball cf fire at about 8 o’el rk riling in tho the western sky near where tho moon was setting. It grow iu brilliancy as it rt>so, draw ing everybody out of doors. Suddenly it pulsed overnaad, dioppii.g into (ho south east and taking about two minute- for it* passage. It was seen to pas* by the inhabitants ot Nebraska, lowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illi nois, Michigan, Kcntacx . India a, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, in the meteor a path, four or five minutes nftor its passage, were beard loul explosions, like distant cannonading, thumlsr or the rat tling of empty wagons over st no roads. So loud w ere these sounds that beasts were frightened. Over Central Illinois tho fire bail was seen to breek into fragments llko a rooket, and over Indiana and Ohio it formed a flock or cinder < f meteors forty miles long ar.d live miles broad. O ditinrily, such great meteor* as these drop stones, of which six nr eight each year aro big enough to find places ia the musoums of the world. The biggest oue ever picked up is a mass of iron and nickel weighing 1,200 pounds. Local Record lor tbs Morning News . . 1,, Special forecast for Georgia: rAid Fair, slightly warmer, northeast wind*.
