The August report of the Oepartment of Agriculture at Washington, Issued on the 11th Inst., shows a reduction in the condition of cotton during July from 86.9 to 82.3. This is the lowest av erage since August, 1888, when the gen eral condition was one point lower. The reason of reduction is that It has been too wet almost every where, though In Georgia and South Carolina alterna tions of excessive rainfall and blistering efcoshin* have been Injurious.

I had my doubts; but the prospect of staying all night with Meades some what reassured me, and 1 started off ta very good spirits. My road took me through a scene of bewildering beauty. The tropical foliage round me glittered with all the hues of the rainbow. Un known flowers of gorgeous magnifi cence and overpowering fragrance brightened the roadside. Suddenly I came upon a pond of clear water in an open space. Hot, dusty and travel-worn, I could not resist the temptation. Without counting the con sequences I fastened the mustang to a sapling and undressed in % hurry, plac ing my revolver under my clothes on the edge of the water. Then I plunged In and enjoyed a refreshing swim. One thing annoyed me. All along the way I met with monkeys every where.

At length silence prevailed, and I knew that all was over. My last mateh waa gone, but to my great delight it was almost morning. With the first rays of .daylight I peered through the hole in tho floor. It was a ghastly bight that met my gaze. The two Mexicans lay on tbs floor quite dead.
