livens these Western plains with many a
ballad and selections from the operse.
Them trains of people—moving pano-

Rmthljr Report.
Washington, July 15.—The ootton
planters' report to the Department of
Agrionltnre show* an increase in the oon
dition of the plant in every State, the
peroentage of average condition being
higher than in Jane by the following
figures: Ia Louisiana 8, in Arkansas 4, in
Florida 6, in South Carolina 7, in Missis
sippi 9, in Alabama 10, in Georgia 11, in
Tennessee and Texas 12, in North Caro
lina 18.
As compared with Jnly of last year, the
condition is higher exoept Florida, Lou
isiana and Arkansas, though the deficit is
light in Tennessee and Georgia, and not
very wide in Mississippi and Alabama.
In North Carolina the temperature haa
been high, raina seasonable and growth
rapid, though the plant is still small and
tender, and late in certain counties. The
fields hsve generally had good prepara
tion and clean culture. Edgecombe,
which produced one-eighth of tho oottoo
of theStato, returns condition 110.
The improvement has been repid in
South Carolina aud ia still progressing,
though the growth is not advanced to an
average. Lioe infest tome fields. Dar
lington, in which the yield- was one-
seventh of the fibre of the State, returns
the condition at 90.
Seventy-three counties in Georgia,
representing two-thirds of the crop, re
port a backward season, with too muoh
ruin; a belter and oleaner tillage than last
year, loss of fertilizers tnd rumors of the
eatorpillar come np from Southwestern
Georgia. Improvement is manifested in
Floiida, with too sbnnbaot rains io some
oonoties, and a tendency to the ahedding
of forms, while rains bavs baen freqnent.
In Alabama, the fields have generally
beon kept clean. Of seven oonoties,
whioh yield a third of the orop, of the
State, the condition is placed at 90; in
Bullock, Barbour, Montgomery, MareDgo
and Russell, 80; in Hall and Dallas, 100.
None are lower than 75 or higher than
110.
The crop is late in Mississippi, but
growiug rapidly. It is grassy in places,
yet much cleaner than last year. The
condi'ion ranges from 50 in Tnnioawhere
it was destroyed by overflow, to 110 in
Desoto and several other counties.
In Louisians planting was continued
after the overflow until Jane 15th, and
tbe crop is tbersfors later than elsewhere,
and has suffered in places from cut worms,
drouth and excessive rains. The catter-
piliar has appeard in liapide*.
Barely baa Texas had a better promise
of a fine crop.
In some counties the growth is not well
advanced. In a few localities plants made
tbeir appearance late in Jane. Tbe stand
is generally better than in other State..
Drongbt has been injnrions in Arkansas;
some looalitioi have bad no rain in eight
weeks. In one township (Independence)
ten thousand aorca were left uncultivated
on account of drought. Raice have been
more gouoral of late in portions of the
State, yet fully half tbe counties report
100 tnd above.
A majority of the counties of Tsnnessoe
return an average oondition ; a few raoge
from G5 to 100; and Shelby oonnty, whioh
yields one-sixth of the Btato's aggregate,
is placed at 110.
Philadelphia
Fhil.dzu’Hia, July 15. — Tbe Demo
cratic Convention to-day nominated Tar
mac Shepherd for Distriot Attorney; Jas.
B. Robinson for City Commissioner; W.
B. Chandler for City Comptroller.
Chicago, July 15—2:30 A. K.—The
limits of the fire are aa follows: On Clark
street, No. 585, whioh is about Twelfth
street on tbe south and about Folk street
on the north; on Dearborn street, the
southern limits are near Twelfth street
and the northern limit Folk street; on
Wabaoh aveaae, Hanover Court forms tbe
southern bonudary, and the northern
limit being between Jaokeon and Van Ba
ton streets; on State street, the southern
limit is Hanover oourt, the line extending
on the north nearly to Jackson street.
Third and Fourth avenues are burned
nearly tbeir whole length.
Tbe fire burned a number of houses on
Uiohigan Aveuue, bat has not damaged
that streot to any great extant.
Some twenty bloeks are burned. The
loss is variously estimated, bnt can not
be given with aoonraoy. It will not be
less tban $4,000,000 and will not be over
$6,000,000.
This is covered by abont two-fifths of
inanranoe, whioh is divided among numer
ous companies. Sinoa tbe greet fire the
companies have been very careful not to
take large risks in one looalily.
The following are the largest losers :

000; St. James Hotel and furniture $150,-

ported, and several persona were doubtless
lost in tbe flames.
Tbe fire ia now completely under con
trol, and no further anxiety is felt for the
safety of property on tbe north side of
the city.
The newspapers comment in strong
terms on the folly of allowing wooden
buildings in the ei^y limits.

The Origin mt tho Fire and lie Pre-
areas—The Principal Lasers.
Chicago, July 15.—The fire yesterday
originated in a low frame building used
for storing rags, and an adjoining oil
faotory that stood between Fourth avenne
and Clark street, on Taylor street. There
was a stiff southwest breeze blowing, so
thst by tbe time tbe flames bad consumed
tbe email dwellings and stables, carpen
ter shop and buildings filled with oil,
paper and' rags, and reached State street,
whero there were substantial businsss
houses, they were like the heat of a fur
nace and all-consuming in power.

Prominent Incidents
IN THH
History of Columbus
From its Firet Settlement in 1827, to the
Wilton Raid, m 1805, compiled by Joen
H. Martin.
The undereigned propotee to publish, in a
volume of 150 or more pages, a work under
the above title, covering the period from tho
selection of the locality for a “ trading town,"
in 1827, to the capture and partial destruction
of the city by the Wifnm Raid, in 1805.
The incidents will be derived mainly from its
newspapers, which will be gleaned for this
purpose with muck eare. It it belitbed that
most of our citizens would tike to have such
incidents in this compact and convenient form,
and will encourage the undertaking to tho
extent of the small amount askedfor the work
Each chapter will contain short biographi
cal sketches or notices of the principal citizens
mentioned in it, who have since died. The
volume will also embrace full information
concerning the churches, factories, dec., now
existing.
We do not propose to publish this compila
tion with a view to making money, as the
small price asked far il will show. Rut at
the came time we do not leant to lose money
by its publication, and therefore we wish to
limit the number of copies printed to the de
mand for the work. With this object in view,
we issue this prospectus, inviting those who
desire copies of the volume to send in their
SMI.
The price will be one dollar per copy far
pamphlet bound volume, printed on paper
like Ike specimen sheet issued. A email
number of copies will also be issued on a su
perior article of paper far $1 80 per copy.
Payable when the work is delivered, which
will be some time next Fall.
