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 BEYERLY & BURGH, -DEALERS IN- - Hill located 8 miles north of Thomasville.

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.
