This summary is made from special reports on the condition of the crops by two huudred and forty-six township correspondents. The average date of these special reports is July 1. The first part of the month of J unc was dry and very hot, followed by cool nights,' which retarded the growth of cotton, but did not injure it in fruitage. During the latter part of the montli copious rains have fallen in nearly every section of the State, and the reports show that the percentage of condition for May has lieen maintained for June, 101 per cent, for the State. It was thought that the hot dry winds had somewhat injured the early corn, but the rains in the latter part of the ANOTHER WAR STORY.

In these interviews Mr. Davis, among many oth er things, charges that the Federal gov ernment conspired during tho late war to have him assassinated. On this sub ject Mr. Davis says: “While tho Confederate government was at Montgomery, Ala, in 1861, I re ceived an aronymous letter from Phila delphia, the substance of which was that the government of Pennsylvania had re leased a noted desjierado from the peui- | tentiary upon the condition that he ^wonld gb to Montgomery and aasassi- 1 uate me, with the promise of a reward of 8100,0110 if he succeeded; that after release the man stated that he could not pro I «Lly succeed alone, and gave the name of another convict of character like Ida own with wboec aaMatauce he !«it sure of kii-vs ae, aad that the stcoud convict was n leased to drat. t '‘About tin liUM- wbei cape a last resort to the arbitrament of arms. »i- Mr. Davis discusBos his experience as secre and as uasippi is etarv of war in Mr. as United 8tales Senator from Mis- accompany the tens letter ived i h m my oflii was l to «1 a man a|aat- wall, which was od u|«on which I Lad gone a itioti of this m in L.I to d th Ui '1 I* > **i Southern Confederacy, and is eloquent in his praise of General Albert Sidnev Johnston, Lee, Jackson and A. P. Hill. He says A. S. Johnston had no peer on either side during-the war, if he ever had in American nistory, and his lors to the Confederacy was imqiarable. Speaking of the seven days' battles around liichmond, Mr. Davis says Gen eral Lee conceived and executed the desperate plan to turn the flank and rear of McClellan's army, and adils that tho failure to annihilate the Federal army was due chiefly to the faot that General Lee had uo maos of the country bolugr Richmond, and that his army moved m ignorance of the country and i who for the most part proved utter It ineftieient. .

Tho politicians had wrestled with him in vain. The Pierce's cabinet fmient vigils of the sentries who paced night and day up and down in front of his career as President of the Mi* residence on I Street saw men like Simon Cameron, Zach Chandler, Charles Snmner and the distinguished coterie of Senatorial oligarchs of those days past ing ih to plead as a reason for entering the less congenial walks of civil life, the extremities of tRe Republican party and of their inability to nominate a man wbo could give them the same assurance of a perpetuation of party domination as WHY THEY WITHDREW.

If there; occur prolonged spelts of dry weather, and tho clean condition of the crop—the absence of grass and weeds— makes it unnecessary to use plow or sweep for their destruction, the question will arise whether it is a good general rule to plow a Cotton-field when tliere has been no rain since last plowing and the field is absolutely^clean of weeds. The question will occur to any farmer of a few years’ experience, and it is cer tainly a practical one.' .Some farnurs believe in plowihg deeper as the ground becomes dryer, claiming that deep plow ing will “bring up the moisture.” Now, deep plowing will “bring up the moist ure,” in the sense tl.at the moist soil that lies several inches below the surface will be brought to the surface; but we can see no benefit or advantage in removing the soil with its contained moisture from the ueighboorhood of the plant roots v where it can do the most good), and bringing it to the surface to be immedi ately‘clriod by the sun and wind. Oilr own experience and observation are op-i. pooed to the practice ol Allowing u field 7 Uat has been onoo thoroughly pin wifi since any rain has fallen. It may not result in aotual harm to the growing crop, and the latter may even 'bo Is-ne- flted, bat it .T extremely doubtful if-ttir “game be worth the candle.” SOW INCi PEAS—CLOVZU.

Alter returning to the city in the evening Colonel Johnston went to the provost marshal, who sent out some men more skillful than we had been to make a fur ther search in the house. “They found in the upper story some plank out of the floor so that they could be removed, and underneath that found a man with a rifle, who gave a lame ac count of 1 uni self as hiding there to avoid eonscriptiou. His story of being em ployed at a bakery in the city was found upon inquiry unfounded. The next morning l was notified that the man, with a liberal retainer in gold, had em ployed a lawyer to sue out a writ of Habeas corpus. Aware that though tho circumstantial evidence might produco moral conviction, that he would proba bly be discharged in compliance with the writ, and that the man was of proper age and physical vigor for a soldier, I directed him to be sect to General Lee at Petersburg, with an explanatory note, and the hope that he would be put in the front line to stop a bail intended for a better man. What became of him I never learned, matters of larger import ance engrossing the attention of General Lee, as well as myself. ' “On another occasion, returning from an aftenioon ride with my aid.

It was twilight, and the shrubbery afforded some means of concealment and escape. “Tliere were many reasons before the Dnhlgren raid for believing that efforts inconsistent with the rules of war as pnM&ayi by civilized nations were made to Secure assassination, especially of the president, and to acquire information by spies, reside: t and transitory, and that large rewards were offered for vioth. including nason and murder.

In view of the (act that nil the bonds duo and available for payment have been colled and will soon be paid, the ques tion of what to do with the more than one hundred millions of annual surplus certain to be realized from existing reve nue laws becomes a very pressing one. No more bonds can be called until the $25(^000,000 of four and a half per cents become due in 1891. If the present sur plus were allowed to pile up until that time there would be enough to pay off tho bonds then available and half ns many more. But the next bonds avail able for payment are the $737,000,000 of four per cents, which are not payable until 1907. A ml action of taxation is thus made imperative, as it would certainly be dis astrous to allow the present surplus to pile up in the treasury, white to spend it on all sorts of wild schemes ’would be demoralizing in the extreme. Something may be judiciously applied to increasing our navy and perfecting our coast de fenses, but the sum that xfiould be spent for these purposes should not be large in any one year. The best way to dis pose of a good many millions of the sur plus is to leave it in the pockets of the taxpayers. -t- = Ladle* Of the White Hou*e Have found that their sometimes ex- oessnre duties produce a low, weak, tired aud tremulous state of the system, and that iron restoiw richness and color to the blood, calisayatortka natural health ful tone to the dtowtrire organs, and phosphorous mildly , stimulates the brain—all coifibined in Dr. Hstrter’s Iron Tonic. -- _ • Tux London Baptist gives the prices paid at different times for seats to view the royal processions.

The prooesaioo, with strtuea of sauits and the virgin, proceeded as usual to the chapel at the castle. Princess Cariotta witnessed the sight from a window, caged in by thin bare, her ladies in waiting holding each of her hand*. Physically she appeared well, though she is becoming very gray. Hhc wore a maueo silk dress and white cap, which she bolseves to be the same that she wore at tho time of Maximilian's death. Un the passage of each statue she nodded her uead absently iu a doll-like, mechanical way, and when the prooe* sion waa fading away she followed it with her eyes; but her appearance and the information gathered on the spot show that her mental condition is be coming worse rather thau better. The Queen of tho Belgians, the King and the Count of Flanders frequently visit her, the latter spending at least two days at Buchout every formgLt; but the queen no longer cares to take Cariotta driving, as she did frequently before. Cariotta never goes out except in the park of the castle, with a watchful body guard. She sometimes stops and stares before an enclosure where the sick horses of the queen’s stables are sent to recu perate and to run about in freedom; but generally her sole occupation during her walk is picking up acacia leaves, which she puts on her hand and then blows off one by oqe.
