Returns give jiromiie of a full average,
crop of good quality. On the Atlantic
coast, from New Jersey to South Caro
lina inclusive, the condition ranges from
104 to 97 It has been reduced iu Geor
gia to 91 ; Florida, 84 ; and Alabama, 87,
by n geueral and protracted drought.
In Mississippi the drought was! severe
aud disastrous to the crop in localities,
but being less general in extent, the con
dition falls only 2 per cent ; in Louisiana,
the same cause briugs it down to S3.
Texas averages 96; Coryell reports the
beet crop ever raised, all iu fine condition;
Upshur, a yield equal to that of last year,
with an increase of 100 per cent, in acre
age: Bexar, a failure of the crop from a
W - ' . a
drought of three months continuance.
The condition is 90 in Nebraska, and 94
in Illinois; but in all the remaining
Slates, in which the crsp is of any ac
count, the range is from 98 iu Ind'ana
aud Kansa", up to 109 in Tennessee and
California. There is scarcely an excep
tion to favorable returns respecting qual
ity, so far as it is referred to.

HORACE MANN ON TOBACCO.
Did you ever sec a moth fly into a
candle aud burn is wings off? You say,
'I have, and a foolish creature he "was,
too," But why do you call the moth
foolish? Did ho mean to burn off his
living? "Ob ! no," you ay ; "but he
Saw how bright the caudle was, aud he
bad no more brains than to think it would
feel as pretty as it looked." Ay, that was
the mistake, was it ? The bright candle
was a temptation to him, and be only did
what people who have a thousand times
more brains dp, he fell into temptation.

I said that tobacco is a poison. In one
of the'reports nf Dr. VVi.odward, the late
excellent superintendent of the Maosa
chusi tts IIo-piial for the Insane at Wor
cester, when speaking of tiftiacco as one
the tauses of insanity, he quotes the op
inions of a large number of the most emi
nent medical meii, who pronounce the
same opinion. When first taken into the
system, it produce; nausea, vomiting, and
and a deadly sickness ; aud puts all the
organs in toj a perfect agony of effort to
exoel the invader. The heart beats to
amis. The stouh ich cascades. The
lungs pant. The eyes oveiflow with
rheumy tears, the iuoutli was saliva, the
nostrils with mucus, and the skin with
offsensive perspiraiion. ; Every organ is
put on tenfold duty that the enemy may
be duveu out.
Tobacco is! highly injurious to the brain
Those who iudulga in its use, indeed,
sometimes pretendh hat tobacco does not
j injure I he brain but this must be in the
8-nse ol the anecdote told of the old wo-
f Ilarf that the ! U,H"' w" iX?v o'T physician if euuff
10,000 gallous ever ''ijured- folk' brains. "Oh ! no
lii idam,', said he, 1'for folks who have any
brains don't take jl "
Even if the use of tabacco were decent,
its costliness would render the indulgence
criminal.' For the single item of cigars
there id more money spent iu these Uni

PORTLAND CEMENT ON WOOD
WORK, Portland cement has many uses in the
garden and elsewhere, not generally ap
parent. Some of them are enumerated by
the Garden as follows : When made in
to a thin solution like whitewash, this
cement gives woodwork all appearance of
having been painted and sanded. Piles
of stoue may be set together with common
mortar, and theu the whole washed over
with this cement, makiug it look like one
immense block of gray sandstone. For
temporary use, a Hour barrel may have
the hoops nailed, so as not to fly apart,
and the inside Washed wilh a thin paste
of Portland ceraentand it will serve for
a year or more to hold water. Boards
nailed logelber aud washed with it make
good hot water tanks ; and it is of use
iu so many ways that it may be regarded
as one of those peculiar things in a gar
den which it is always good to have al
hand.
A SOLAR DISTILLERY.
M. Mouchot whose steam boiler, heat
ed by ihe sun's rays concentrated by a
concave minor, we described not long
ago, recently exhibited to ihe French
Academy of Sciences a new apparatus
wheieby by solar heat he distilled excel
lent brandy. 1 be mirror was but 19
? 1? a l t
nicues in diameter, a lime over a quart
of wine was placed in the boiler, ami
brought to boiling for 15 minutes by the
concentrated rays. The alcoholic vaper
entered a tube placed iu the center of the
boiler, traversed the supporting foot of
the minor and descended into a room
where it condensed. The liquor was o
remarkably good flavor, free from the
disagreeable taste of alcohol peculiar to
that obtained from wine i i the usual way
and savoring strongly of the best cherry
brandy.
M. Mouchot afterward placed flowers
and-ordoriferous leaves in his boiler, and
made a variety of perfumes and essences
r mally leading the steam into a cooking
apparatus, ue prepared an entire dinner
by the agency of the sun's beat.

MOONSTROKES.
o
Every one has heard of sunstrokes.
Bat it will he difficult to convince roman
tic lovers, and other scntimeutal people,
who are fond of "Cynthia's beams," that
there is danger from the moon as well as
rom the suu. And yet in some warm
atitudes people have been known to die
of moonstroke. Several cases have been
recorded at Sierra Leone, and an old
number of the United Service Journal
ivs the following facts :
Eight or ten private soldiers had taken
passage for Calcutta, and th night that
the vessel quitted Madras roads two of
them, fresh young Englishmen, fioding
the heat intense, brought" their mats on
deck, and lay down to sleep in the full
ncod or moonshine. Men about them
looked at them as they slumbered, and
remarked the contrast between their florid
English faces and that of those who had
passed many years io Asia. At last one
who knew the danger of their position
arrived on the scene, and with horror in
his countenance tried to arouse them:
calling out." lis odd if vou don't suffer
for this." He succeeded in awakeuing
them, but, on arising, they found that
they could not stand, and though one of
them recovered, the other died in a few
hours of lockjaw.
THE THREATENED REPUBLU
CAXREBELUON.
Following the lead of Senator Blame
and of the Globe Democrat, of St. Louis
Mr. Marat Ilalstead, of the Cincinnati
Commercial, plainly menaces the country
with rebellion on the part of the Republic
can managers in case of the election of
Mr. Tilden.
The Sun here gives Mr. Halsteada
language, and says by way of comment:
Now what does this extraordinarr de
claration of Mr. Halstead's mean 7 What
does this cool-headed man, prominent in
the councils of tbe llepubiican party, the
friend of Hayes, and the strongest news
paper advocats ot his election m the West,
intend to convey to the people of the
country. It is simply this: If Hayes
is defeated, tbe Republicans will begin a
new civil war. They proclaim through
Mr. Halstead that they will refuse to ac
ce.pt tbe Constitutional decision of tbe
ballot-box, and that, following the ex
ample ot the slaveholders in 1861, they
will revolt against the President chosen
by tbe people. 1
The Sun adds: We believe these
threats are empty words, that even the
most lunatical Republicans will not dare
to begin their threatened insurrection,
that the thought of it is born of tbe des
peration of a corrupt partynow standing
on the brink -of justice and of ruin. But
to surely defeat in adyance their avowed
treasonable scheme, and to silence their
traitorous voices, let the people elect Til
den by a majority so overwhelming that
not even Grant, and the most reckless of
his crew, will dare to stand ont against
the will of the country. Grant will leave
the White House unwilling, and. the
Grant party will die hard, but both
Grant and Grantism must fall under the
blow the people will give them next
Tuesday.

The Christian Weekly says : What
is meant by "Speak evil ol no man ? '
Certainly it is not meant that we are
never to speak of any fault or sin of any
person to another, even with the added
qualification, "in his absence." May
not the father and mother talk of their
children's faults one with another ? May
1 not go before the grand jury and teati
fy to the crime I have witnef Sed ? May
I not speak to my pastor of the faults of
one of my fellows in the church for bis
correction, or for the better preservation
of thechurch itself from scandal or cor
ruption ? May I not tell an inquirer the
true character of a discharged servant or
clerk ? Christ spoke evil of Herod when
He said to the Pharisee, "G tell that
fox." Paul spoke evil of Demas and
Ilymeucus and Philetus, ia tbei r absence,
when be wrote to Timothy. We must
use common sense iu the interpretation oi
Scripture, even if some eminent interpre
ters do sometimes dispense with it.
There is no absolute rule for deter
mining what evil speaking is unchristian.
The Christian cannot live by rules.
'Why, as though living in the world,
arc ye surj-pt to ordinances ? If ye be
risen with Christ sut your affections on
things aboye." Out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth spcaketh, and no
rule will regulate the tongue if the heart
is not nure. If the reservoir is full of
pure water then pure water will run from
the faucet. A filter is a poor contrivance
at the best. 1 here is only one Christian

that ever set a Tillage by "the ears did not

COTTON; FACTORY IN CIIARLO TTE.
The Southern Home has the following
in icfereuce to a new cotton factory ;
"Mr. O. H. Sampson, a large capitalist
of Boston has written to the owners of
the Rock Island Factory in Charlotte to
negotiate a purchase or lease, for the pur
pose of establishing ji cotton factory. Mr.
Sampson and Mr. Hall bought the Camp
perdowu Factory in Greenville, a few
years r.go, and enlarged its operations, so
as to make it a brilliant success. The
citizen of Greenville took slock to the
amount of $50,000. Mr. S. wishes to
start here with a capital of 8150,000,
three fourths of which he will put in him
self, if our moneyed men will raise the
o'.her fourth. Charlotte has grown as far
as it can grow lis a commercial centre.
Its-future growth must depend upon the
establishment of factories. Mr. B. R.
Smith, who has been residing in Boston
for eight years, tells us that Mr. S. is a
thorough busiuess man, trustworthy and
capable, and that he is iu earnest iu this
scheme." '
We heartily endorse the comments in
the above and hope that when tbe election

business men will laktThold of this enler?

PURE IRON.
It is a remarkable fact that pure iron
is nn article unknown; what is called iron
is a metal combined or associated with
other elements, which, though present
only iu small quantity, may, according to
their number and proportion communi
cate to it widely different properties, it
being a simple. variatioiMii tbe proportion
of carbon, tay within the limit of about
five per cent., which causeslbe metal to
appear in three well known states of
wrought iron, steel and east iron, aud
just as the proportion. of carbon increases
the metalpasse8 insensibly Throught these
successive stages. One part in a tbov
sand of any of these elements will pro
duce a decided effect on ihe qnality t-f
the iron, either separately or xombiued j
hence, the endless diversity of the iron,
steel and pig iron met with in commerce.
So far as our knowledge extends, jrou is
tbe only metal which is capable of thus
acquiring such varied and useful proper
ties by ihe operation of such simple and
apparently trivial causes.
