Our 'Na11onal Dis!' -AbroA. Some one writes to an English paper .or a receipt for "Ancrican dry hash," anmost furbidding and unfamiliar title; and the reply comes &.s follows: I do not know this dish by name, but is it anything like the following, both real Atnerican dishes? Chop a pint ef LnI cookedpotatoes, and stew thcm for five minutes with a pint of water; now add 'a quart of cold cooked beef chopped fine, ant a litLe more water if necessary; then lift it off the fire, stir into it two --hole, well beaten eggs, a teasooon"ul. oi salt, and three dashes of black pepper. Turn the mixture into a bating dish, and bake twenty nuutes in a quick even. Another re cei-t known as "Boston brown hash," is more like our "Shepherd1's pie."

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN. Issued by The North Carolina State Weather Service. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina State Weather Service, for the past week, are very favorable. The first two days were cool, with a few scattered showers, but the last five days were characterized by extreme heat, unusual dryness, and excessive glaring sunshine. It has unquestionably been the most abnormal week on record for September. The maximum temperature varied from 90 in the mountain section to 100 in the east, and for five days the mean temperature averaged 15 degrees per day above normal. Serious drought prevails.the deficiency in precipitation since September 1st being over 2.50 inches. All growing crops are suffering;< cotton is opening prematurely and fall plowing and seeding are impossible. A decided fall in temperature will i set in on Tuesday and the present week will be much cooler, with light showers during the middle portion. Although the fall will be only to the normal, or slightly below, it will appear decid'ed by contrast with the excessive heat of his week. EASTERN DIsTricT.-The first two davs of the week were cool, but the temperature rose during the following five days to a very unusual point for Sptember. There sae ne rain during the week. Cotton is reported to have - uffred from the dry, hot weather; it is opening very rapidly and premature l; young bolls are falling off in some laces. It was too hot and dry for all growing crops, such as turnips, pota- I toes, peas, etc. Rice is needing rain. The harvesting of rice is in progress with fine yield. The weather has been I fer- good for finishing fodder pulling in fhie iorth and for cutting hay. Peas re being picked. tew cotton comin ito market. CETsAL DisTRICT.-The first two days of the week were cool, and some scattered light showers fell, but since Tuesday the weather has been ex tremely hvt and dry, and drought is seriously affecting everything. Tur iips and potatoes are needing rain badly, and aome very late corn will be cut short. Tobacco is about housed; cures are generally bright, but some orrrespondents say light and papery. Cotton .is being much damaged by the drought and intense heat; top blos soms are falling off; afid it is opening too rapidly. The crop is being pick ed out and gins are starting up; crop 10 t about twelve days late. The weather has been excellent for fodder-pulling and making pea-vine hay, but no plow ing could be done, as the ground is too hard and dry. Streams are extremely low. WESTERN DISTRIcT.--The week open ed cool with a few light showers, but t the last ortion was very hot and dry. and the ~drought is seriously injuring growing crops and delaying fall plow ing and planting. Some. oats sown in August are perishing. Corn in genera al is a fine crop, but some late corn is cut short by drought- The cotton crop has already been much damaged by drought. It is opening too fast. The late crop has not sufficient moisture to develop the bolls, hence it is feared seeds will not be well enough matured to grow, except from crop first opened. Foder and hay are nearly.all made in eastern counties, but still in full blast i the test. Sweet potatoes, turnips and celerf are being iuch injured by dry weather. No fall plowing or seed ing can be done. Rain is very badly needed. COTTON GOES HIGHER. Prospect of an Active Eualish and Con. tinent~al Demand. southern spot markets in New York n Saturday *ere reported by At wood, Violet & Co., to be 1-16 to % highet, and Eastern Spinners- buying freely with in dications of a continuance this week. They are evidently repeating their foresight of last autumn, when they bought the cheap otton largely, whereas their English com petitors, unwilling to buy -cotton when it was ive cents a pound, waited until the miarket has re-acted-an1 experience that is likely to occr tamin the near future. We anticipate a large and active demand from Inglish and continental sources within the net ten.daym Sun Sets a ilouse on Fire. At St. Louis, M~o., the sun set fire to the residence of E. HI. Warner, causing $10,000 damage. On the. upper floor was a large as-I sembly-room. The windows contained a number of circular glasses about six inches in diameter, with convex surfaces. These acted as so many "bull's eye" suna glasses,and the rays ofth sue lwere brought to a focus on the floor, setting it on fire.
