$ _, \T AN UMPIRE'S VALEDICTORY. An umpire went.sallying out into the east, Out into the east ere the sun went down. He thought of the club that loved him least, And the quickest way to leave the town, But men must chin and boys must cheer, And the umpire's lot is hard and drear, Along with the crowd and ita groaning A map stood up and called out Foul ! And called out Foul! with an angry frown ;. Then made for the gate with a sudden howl, While the mob with bricks tried to knock him down. For men will fight and boys will jeer, And luck is best when the gate ia near, To escape from the crowd and its groan ing. A doctor waa working the best he knew how, The beet he knew how, aa the sun weat dow^n, He thought as he plastered the broken brow Of the awful yells aud the missiles thrown. . : Fir clubs will play and mobs will fight, .a.nd the' umpire's lucky if he lives till night To escape from the crowd and its groan ing. [Philadelphia Call. The CopdiUatt of Crops fo sooth | carolina. COLUMBIA, S. C., August. 4.-The State Department of Agriculture fur nishes the following information re garding the growing crops, derived from the reports of its county and township correspondents. Colton. Thc favorable condition of the cot ton crop during June has been fully maintained in.July. Throughout the Slate generally the plant shows a rep id and healthy growth, and the re ports indicate one of the finest crops grown in the State for many years. ?-In some sections the raine have been excessive, and in others there has bseu insufficient rainfall, but theee cindi tiona exist only in a few locali ties, and are hot general enough to appreciably affect the crop. The correspondents with scarcely an exception; report that where the trop has been well worked, and this has been done very generally, the prospects for a^ foll yield: are very promieiug. , Caterpillars have ap peared in Aiken, Darlington, Orange* burg, Sumter, Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Hampton, but so far have done no serious harm -but farmers are apprehensi .'o of damage that may be done by second brood. The planters have begun the use of Paris green in aome of the lower ,_counties, and this will be resorted to iu other sections if necessary. Slight Sledding ie noticed in localities, but the crop baa sustained no injury from " earo'cauae. ooma correspondente pay that the plant is growing too much to weed and is not fruiting well. In a few townships labor baa cot been sufficient to work the crop, a: d that ie still grassy, and a small ana has been abandoned from thia cause. The condition, August lat, is re ported: In upper Carolina at 101, middle Carolina at 99 and lower Caro lina at 98, average for the State, 99. The following was the condition cn the firet of Auguet in the years men tioned: 1881,72; 1882,94; 1883, 79 and in 1884, 84. T?e condition is higher than any repored by tbe Na tional Department of Agriculture 6ince 1870. In that year it was re ported at 101. The next highest re porta made by that department were in 1372.1880 and 1882, when it waa estimated at 98. Com. The corn crcp is unusually good, and many of the correspondents ex press the opinion that it will be the largest yield ever obtained in the State. The early corn is safe for a foll crop beyond all contingencies, and the late planting premises equal ly as well. The condition is reported in upper Carolina 105, middle and lower1" Caroliifa 101"; average for the State 102;-'.against 87 for the esme period last year. Rice. The condition of rice ia reported 92 in the upper counties, and in lower Carolina at 97. A correspondent in Berkeley says : "It baa l&en almost --~itripo^ibki owing to the frequent rains, to destroy the grasa infthe rice crops, but the prospects now Le V6iy fine." -", . Other Crops. The emaller crops have been necea sarily neglected on account of the la bor needed to keep the more import ant crops well worked, and the condi tion ie consequently lower than il WGuld otherwise have been. Sorghum ia reported at 98, augar cane 95, peas 99, Irish potatoes 97 and sweet'r-otat'oea 99. Facts About Hops. ?5 ii 5? ft . ii From an, article on the position ol the hop trade in Bradstreet's, we take the following : The American crop of 1884 was estimated in round numbera follow? ; New Yoik State,- 135,000 bale? ; Pa cific coast, 75,000 bales ; other States, 10,000 ' balee ; total, 220,000 balea. At present writing there aro probably 33,000 balea Pacifies, and 40,000 New York St atea Bli ll in first bands at a conservative estimate. Few deal era hold any hope to mention, but th? brewers are almost all stocked up to the fall. The new orop will be met, therefore, by a surplus of about 70, OOO bales on hand, or one-third of the largest crop ever grown in the States. The cost of raising hops in New York State is given at 12j centtt per pound, against 10* cents on the Pa cific coast. The latter is so isolated ?rom the centra of consumption, how - eyar, that 3 cents per pound must be r< lil a n tl G cl add?d for freight charges. Curre quotations are 12 cents for clio States, and 10 canta for Pacific-bei below the coat of production, and r lees the new crop should fail, pri< moat inevitably go lower till nt season. With a good crop wo shall not surprised to soe prices drop fivo cer per pound, which will barely cov the cost of preparing tho hops I inaiket, after taking them from t polee. In any caae, however, it not anticipated that good hops w be left standing on the polea, even the Pacific coast, where labor is scarce and dear. Human nature the same everywhere, and there a few farmers who will not take t chances of the future, and incur little extra expert;e, rather than fa a dead loss. The best qualifi?e never go a bc ging, but with the present accomoi tion of stock, another season of ov production will cause the lower grad to be almost wholly neglected, unh they sink to a sufficiently low ebb induce speculation. There is probat no other farm product which di flt ao widely aa hops, between the big est and lowest grades. florida Oranges vs, Nf w^Eogl Apples, S A correspondent of theMponnecfi fiaaaqgj Tnbi,kj?ttrii?^?e Flor has evidently caught tSl?rai "fever," as he says it ia impoeaiiWS go into the orange growing seciic without catching it. He writes hoi that ''if an ambitious, industrio! enterprising young man would ta $1.000, go to Florida, buy the lat art an orange grove, and give it t years of labor, ho could retire frc active business. In the same letti he mentioos the case of a co un judge, a grandoon of John Quin Adams, who occasionally has to ser bia own warranta because the const blee are afraid lo undertake the y In the front hall of his residence n displayed three heavy revolvers, t< rides, one carbine, Baverai knives a two aw. rda.

It is true hat we have practised feeding dry odder more or Ices, in the summer eason, for many years, not. because vs have believed it in every case bet er than green food, hut as a matter f convenience. Like oar correspond ?nt, we have soiled or stall fed our tock chit-fly, for many years, during he nnramer sea-on, using large quat. ities of green food, such as green rye, lats, barley, corn, millet, clover and ll the common grasses gnwn on the arm.

It s s. v. s ia much lesa work to care for a cow by this method than to cut green food for her daily, or to drive her even a short distance to pasture. Then the manure can all be saved and applied where it will be of mest use, instead of being scattered about among weeds und bushes, and in the pasture brook or spring. The oiling system is sure ly gaining favor through the country year by year, and is being adopted in part by a great many cow owners. No more grain is required with dry fodder than with green, but most farmers would find it profitable to feed cows more grain in summer than they do. Their milk yield would be greater, and the cows would keep ?ii better condition.-New England Fat mer. Helpless Upon a Friendless Sea !

DU NO VA NT, A gt, EDGEFIELD C. H., S. C. AYER'S Hair Vigor vi toro?, with the gloss and freshness ot youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, ns may be desired. Hy ita use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cared. It'(chccks falling of the hair, and stimu late^ weak and sickly growth to vigor. It -pn?uu and cures scarf and dandruff, and huajs nearly every discaso peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladles' Halr~T)rc8*rng7~tbe Vicoa is unequalled ; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders tko hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance,and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume. Un. C. P. BRICBTO writes from Kirby, 0_ Jula 3, \W1 : " Last fall my hair commenced tailing out. ami lu ii short timo 1 becaino nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of AVKK'3 HAIR Vionit, which stopped the fall ing of thu hair, mid started a new growth. I have now a full head of bair growing vigor ously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation 1 should have been entirely bald." J. W. BOWKS', proprietor of the McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says : " AVES'S HAIRVIQOB is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience. Ita use promotes thu growth of new hair, aud makes lt glossy and soft. The VIGOR is also a ?uro euro for dandruff. -Not within- my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give eutire satisfaction." MR. ANQUI FAIRBAIRN, leader of the celebrated " Fairbairn Fondly " of Scottish Vocalist*, writes from Itostou, Matt., h'tb. 6, issi) : '. Ever since my hair began to giro sil very evidence of tho change which fleeting time proenreth, I have used AVKB'S HAIK Vicoit, and so have been ablo to maiutaia an appearance of youthfulness-a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, ora tors, actors, and in fact every ono who lives iii the eyes of the public." Mus. O. A. PnESCOTT, writing from 18 Elm St., (-'luirlesloieu. Mau., April 14, 1882, says : " Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came o'ir. It chinned very rapidly, and 1 was fast growing bald. On using AYKR'S HAIR Vinoa tho fulling stopped mid a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair, lt han continued to grow, and is now as good RS before it fell. 1 regularly nsed but one bottle of thc VIIIOR, but now use it occasionally as a dressing." Wo hare hundreds of similar testimonials to tho efficacy of AVER'S HAIR VIGOR. It needs hut a trial to convince the ?nest skepti cal of its value. * . PnEPARED BV ( / Dr. J.C.
