Ofllciiti Report ortho I’nlti-d Staten Depart¬
ment of Agriculture.
The report of the department of agri¬
culture lows: Cereals—The at Washington, D. C., is ns fol¬
prospect a month ago
was for a very heavy crop of corn, and
the rate of yield about the average. Its
condition in all the states of the Atlantic
coast is now unimpaired, and of 1
a very
high promise. In Texas and Tennessee ■
the condition has declined materially.
The past month has been favorable for
cotton, except that the rainfall has been j
unequaily distributed in point of time—a
drouth threatened at one period and
damaging floods following. In the east
era belt the excess of moisture predomi
nates as a factor of the depreciation. The i
weed i«, therefore large and sappy, and
the fruit fall appears in some fields scri
ously, and in some cases rust appears. In
Louisiana similar conditions have
vailed, , and , only , partially . ,, . Missis
Texas very in
JJPPJ has been too dry, though
the drouth has not as yet been disastrous
or severe. The prevalent status of the
crop is very good for the first of August,
while reporters recognize this as a criti
cal time, and fear the effect ot subsequent
drouth upon the green and succulent con
dition of the plant. In a comparison of
ton years, the August condition is only I
excceded by that of 1882 and 1885, one
producing conmtionVaat a large which crop, the other undei j
points than that of July. The by

LOOK OUT FOR HIM!
John W. Hallock, a compositor, whc
went from Atlanta, Ga., to Montgomery,
I A hi., was urrested at the latter place on a
. warrant which read as follows: “One Juo.
W, Hallock, did unlawfully and mali¬
ciously utter incendiary and inflammatory
language, by sending assassin-like docu¬
ments and delivering through the United States mails,
this copies State, of the same to the
youth of against the peace
and dignity of the State of Alabama.”
The following card speaks for itself:
“John W. Hallock. I am in fa¬
in favor of revolutionizing the existing
condition of society ; undeniably, it con¬
flicts with the liberties guaranteed by our
ancestors, and infringes upon the rights
of the American people, in violation of
the faith due to t he Constitution of the
United States.” Judge Screws, before
whom Hallock was arraigned, had to
discharge him, and said: “I dismiss this
case because I am powerless to do other¬
wise. There seems to be no law in Ala¬
bama to overtake anarchists, cowards
and assassins. That there is no such law
is not the fault of this court. This man
Hallock is evidently a dangerous charac¬

Great Comment.

meet him in a dark room where should be
placed a hundred tarantulas of most,
poisonous character, and that each should
devote his energies to killing tarantulas
instead of fighting his opponent, and
neither must leave the room till a’ll the
poisonous spiders were killed. The duel
was fought iu a room dark as a dungeon.
There were no seconds, and no one in
doors Tampico suspected the fact. When the
were broken open both men were
found dead, surrounded by horrible spi ¬
ders, some dead and some alive.

A LITTLE FEATHERED DETECTIVE.
Tho Cute Tricks of tho Honey Bird
to Obtain Sweet Morsels.
We came, to a large piece of timber,
and while passing through it I had my
first experience with the honey bird of
South Africa, says a writer in the Amer¬
ican Field. This curious little bird is,
in size and plumage, about like an En¬
glish sparrow, and gets liis name from
the fact that the little fellow, who is very
fond of honey, being unable to obtain it
for himself, will lead men to the places stores
where the wild bees have hidden
of rich wild honey.
Whenever this bird sees a man he will
fly close to him, hovering around, litter¬
ing a twittering sound; then he will go
off in the direction of the place is, (gener¬ flying
ally a tree) where the honey
backward and forward in a zigzag fash¬
ion. Then back he will come, twitter¬
ing in the same manner, as if to say,
“Come along, I’ll show you where it is.”
These actions are repeated nntil the tree
is reached, when the bird will indicate it
very plainly by flying to it and hovering
around it.
If the distanoe is great (and sometimes
the honey bird will lead a person who is
willing to follow a distance of ten miles),
he will wait on a tree until the follower
comes up and will then continue his bus¬
iness of piloting. He is very persistent
and will do his best to draw any one on,
bnt if the party is not posted alx>ufc
honey birds 1 and refuses to follow, or
goes in the wrong direction, the bird
will leave, probably in search of some
person who will appreciate his efforts to
provide him with sweetmeats.
While the bees are being smoked out
and the honey taken up, the bird will
hover in the vicinity until the job is
done, when of course his reward comes
in the shape of a feast on the fragments hives,
that are left. If he knows of other
just as soon as one is disposed of he will
lead the way to another, and I have,
since this time, known as many as four
trees to be taken up by a party in one
day. the honey bird has shown
When one
tree, if the hunters are satisfied with
that and refuse to follow him further,
he leaves them; but I have never heard
of an instance in which the bird misled
any one in regard to finding honey. It
frequently happens, however, that a
honey bird will lead a person into very
dangerous places, and unless the hunter
keeps his eyes alxrat him, when follow¬
ing this bird, he may run right on other to a
lion, venomous snake, or some
qeually undesirable acquaintance.
