The State Department of Agriculture
has just published its crop report for
June. 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,

lishes a six-column contribution giving
au account of recent important inter
views with Jefferson Davis. 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

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. .

The mention of the name of Lieuten

tho Kepnblican nomination to the Pres

the nomination of General Grant It
will be remembered that the latter was
very determined in his opposition^ to
leaving the army for a civil place, even
if it were the highest. 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

Simon Cameron, Zach Chandler, Charles

PLOW1NU Hi* I»HV W EATHER.
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.

Uat has been onoo thoroughly pin wifi

The All-Healing Spring*.
The proprietors of the All-Healing
Springs, Gaston county, N. 0., have
made every effort to make tins resort,
always popular, more popular the pres
ent seasou than ever before. The build
ings are in better condition than ever
before, and the management have great-

the comfort of their guests. They have

feet sbove s»-level, and are rated for the
JM qualities of the waters.
Oommaaionlon with the Springs is easy

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. Colonel
Joseph R. Davis, just as we entered the
suburbs of Richmond a shot was fired
from behind a high garden wall at very
close range, but without effect We rode
up to the wall, and by rising in our stir
nips, looked over into the garden, bat
no person could be seen. It was
twilight, and the shrubbery afforded
some means of concealment and escape.

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- =

There was a religion*procession going
on which, according to old custom, ha*
token place for*t*o oenturias ovary sec
ond Sunday in July. 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. Despite the kindest treat
ment, art hope of mental recovery, is
forever gone.
