President Harrison has just celebra
ted his 57 th birthday.
The Pope has forbidden Catholics
to cremate their dend.
It is understood that the ac.ress,
Mary Anderson, will make one more
postively last appearance. The rea
son assigned for this curse, is that
she is under obligations to her old
manager, Mr. Abbey, and is unwilling
to break iaith with him.
“A rich lady of New York proposes
to endow a home for indigent cats.
She says it almost breaks her heart
to think that there arc 50,000 home
less cats in that city.”
She had better expend her charity
on the half-starved, hard worked
women nnd girls in the great.metropo-
lis. Let the cats go to mousing.
True friendship is perhaps rarer
even than true love ; but where it ex
ists it is one of the most beatiful
things in the world. “A true friend
ship is for aid and comfort through all
the relations and passages of hie and
death. It is fit for serene days, and
graceful gifts, and country rambles,
but also for rough roads, and hard
fare, shipwreck, poverty and persecu
tion. There is something sublime in
the humanity which can be and do all
this—which is capable of that glorious
relation between two souls known as
friendship.”
Mr. Stanley is a man of big ideas
Most of men would be satisfied with
what he has already accomplished
but he cherishes some other b;g
schemes which he hopes to carry out.
One of the mo.t daring of these is the -
construction of a railway across the cr °P
Desert of Sahara. It is estimated
Cotton Progressing Nicely and an
Improvement in the Corn Crop.
Washington, August 30.—The
week ending August 30th has been
cooler than usual over all the agricul
tural districts east of the Rocky moun
tains, the only regions reporting nor
mal temperature being Florida,south
western Texas and eastern Maine.
Over the corn and wheat region of the
central valleys the daily temperature
ranged from six to eight degrees be
low normal; and in the cotton region
it was only from one to three degrees
below the average for the week. On
the Pacific coast the week was warm,
the average daily temperature being
three to six degrees above normal.
Light frosts occurred in the extreme
northwest and in the northern por
tions of the Lake region.
The rainfall was in excess over the
Ohio, lower Mississippi and lower Mis
souri valleys, northern portions of the
cast Gulf and south Atlantic states,
Arkansas, eastern New York and in
the interior of New England, Kansas,
Nebraska. Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Excessive rains occurred in Mississip
pi, Tennessee, northern portions of
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
eastern Kentucky, and western North
Carolina, where the rainfall generally
exceeded two inches. Heavy rains
occurred over the southern portions of
the corn belt, but only light showers
are reported from northern Ohio west
ward to Iowa. Very light showers oc
curred in Texas and the eouthern por
tions of Georgia and South Carolina.
The weather during the past week
in the wheat and corn regions of the
central valleys and northwest was
generally favorable, and the condition
of all crops was improved. The har
vesting of wheat was interrupted in
Minnesota and North Dakota by rain.
The corn crop was greatly improv
ed, although the weather was too cool
for rapid growth. Iowa reports “corn
and potatoes improving; better crop
than was expected a month ago, hut
two or three weeks of favorable
weather will bo necessary to place the
corn crop out of danger.” From
Kansas, eastward to Ohio and Ken
tucky, the corn crop was much im
proved. Missouri reports the pros
pect of an average crop, and in Ken
tucky corn nnd tobacco were greatly
improved, with a prospect of a better

Our Cotton Packing Blamed.
London, Sept. i.—In the course of
the Board ot Trade inquiry into the sen
sational burning of the steamer Egypt,
some interesting testimonials has been
given as to the causes of such occur-
rences. An insurance expert testified
that there were records of seventy-
seven fires similar to that which de
stroyed the Egypt. The trouble was
due he said, to the American system
of packing cotton.

The crop is opening well in Arkansas
and picking has progressed rapidly in
Texas. Some damage was caused to
the colton crop in Mississippi, Louis
iana nnd Tennessee by the recent hea
vy rains, and iujury from boll worms
is reported from portions of Mississip
pi and Louisiana. All crops are im
proved from Alabama eastward to
North Carolina and South Carolina,
and cotton picking is progressing rap
idly.
How the Bustle Was Discarded.
Ed Barrett.tells this story about
how the bustle was discarded:
“Did you ever hear the cause of the
bustle being discarded in America?”
said a well known newspaper corres
pondent yesterday. “Well, I will tell
you. One Sunday afternoon Fletcher
Hodges, of The Courier Journal, Jay
Durham, of The Galveston News, and
myself were in the ‘fake mill,’ when
Durham remarked that a story was
needed for a weekly letter and asked
for a suggestion. Durham said that
a white house fake was the best, when
Hodges laughingly said, ‘Let’s make
Mrs. Cleveland discard the bustle and
see how it will take.
"The suggestion was adopted,
Hodges wrote the story, and the three
of us sent it out simultaneously. Im
mediately it was copied and recopied!
there were editorials on it, fashion
journals took it up and women all
over the country commenced discard
ing the bustle. Mrs. Cleveland was
one of the last to do it, but even she
eventually came into line, and now it
seems to be the universal custom.
Thus you see the benefit of an occasion
al fake."
Great is the power of the press.
Co). Norwood’s interview, which is
generally regarded as a bid for the
Senatorship, has created something of
a sensation. It will not create enough
votes to elect him.
