The July re port of the Department of Agricuituie indicates a very general Improvement in the condition of cotton. The rains were general up to the 15th or 20th of June, and local showers have been fre quent since. ; There has been an excess of moisture interfering with the culti vation and promoting tbe growth of grass. Clean fields are found only in favored districts, and on the lands of Srompt and pushing cultivators. - Since une 20 ih the growth has been rapid. In grassy districts the plants are still small but. healthy, and making great progress with the recent cultivation. The only complaint of drought comes from cental and southwestern Texas, from tbe Colorado to the Guadaloope rivers. Few counties in South Carolina and Georgia report tbe present need of rain. The recent distribution of moisture has been quite unequal.. Adams county, Mississippi, has had showers daily for five weeks, and Pike county for six to eight weeks. - The general average of the condition has advanced from 89 to 90. Last July there was an improve ment of three points, from - 83 to 92. The returns of July since 1870 have in dicated a higher condition than In June, except in 18714873 and 1879. The spring weather was too variable In tempera tore and moisture, as it usually has been in former years, for the highest condition of the plant. The only retro grade is reported for Arkansas, where the loss of three points Is made from excessive rain, cool nights and Injuries from chinch bugs, red ants and rust. There is promise of improvement dur ing July. A gain of ten points has been made in the northern zone, North Caro lina and Tennessee; seven in Georgia; six in Sooth Carolina; four in Texas; three in Mississippi ; two In Virginia, and one in Florida; Alabama and Lou isiana stand as in June. Tbe July State averages are as follows: Virginia, 83; North Carolina, Si ; Sooth Carolina, 01 ; Georgia. 93; Florida, 95; Alabama, 87; Mississippi, 89 ; Louisiana.91 ; Texas.93 ; Arkansas, 84; Tennessee, 88. Worms have wrought bnt little In jury as yet. The caterpillar has ap peared at a few points from South Car olina to Texas. In Butler county, Ala, a i second brood of worms appeared June 20th. The boll worm Is at work in Denton county. Texas. Picking will commence in south western Texas about tbe 20th of J oly. There has been some improvement in winter wheat in Connecticut, New York, Virginia, South Carolina, Texas. Ohio. Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Mis souri, Kansas and California, which ad advances the general average ot the condition from 75 to 79. Tbe spring wheat average has advanced from 98 to 100. The indications of J uly point to tbe winter wheat crop of fully three hundred million bushels and the pro-1 duct of about one hundred and twenty five millions of spring wheat. The area of the corn crop has been increased about to hundred i and fifty million acres, making an aggregate of sixty eight million acres. There has been some extension of area in nearly every State. Tbe proportion of increase is large in the' northwest and in the southwest. ? ... "i . --. ' M-i : . On tbe coast from .Virginia to tbe Mississippi the advance has been smalL In some places tbe rednction of price rrom tne enlargement or me snppiy last vear had" a discouraging effect. There has bees too much rain in the geat western maiz districts and the i failure of stands from planting poor seed, making the crop lata and the growth small, but the improvement has of late been repaid. Taking all the States together the average for corn is 88 against 85 last July, 00 in 1881, and 100 in 1882. Averages or ; principal States are as follows: New York 84, Pennsylvania 89. Ohio 13. Michigan 73, Indiana 80. Illinois 82. Iowa 80, Mis souri 82. Kansas 93, Nebraska 87. Da kota 78. In the South the averages range from 90 la . Tennessee to 103 in Louisiana. - i ' 1 The broanects for oats are nearly as good as in J uly of last year, the average being 99 against 103. The condition of barley Is represented by 97, last J my vo. The average in New York is 103, in Pennsylvania 91, Wisconsin 102, Cali fornia oa There has been su increase of about 5 per cent. In area planted in tbe Northern catea. tney are reporrea in high condition, averaging 101. The area of ' tobacco appears to have been diminished 7 per cent; condition 05. ' !

The play is familiar to most of our people, who have seen it - often before, . but never with more real enjoyment, per haps, than . last , night. The company have been in preparation for the play under 1 Dr Bidex's management : for about two months past, and the suc cess scored by each Individual actor in tbe play last night must nave been a source of pride and gratlBeation to the patient and persevering Dr Bidez. There were thirty-two , voices on the stage, and the ; choruses were well brought out, the voices being full, clear and in perfect accord. Ralph I Rack straw's (F Smith) falsetto was admira ble and fairly charmed tbe house.- F L Simmons impersonated Capt Corcoran in a most excellent manner, and Mr L Perdue, as Sir Joseph Porter was first rate, bnt perhaps the most perfect char acter, the ore best sustained : and most successfully carried out, was that of Dicki Deadeye, by Mr Jimmie New combe. 'Miss M Frailer made a charm ing Little Buttercup, while Mies C Fra iler made a Josephine second to none that have been seen here in profession al troupes. " Miss L Bernstein was sweet and winsome as Cousin Hebe. Mr W Bradshaw as Boatswain, and Mr B Bernstein as Boatswain's Mate, and Mr D W Rlntels as Mldshlpmate, were each fine In their several parts. : - ' 'h Between .. the ; two acts Prof. Lasne treated the audience to a flute solo "Home Sweet Home," that was most Toclferously. encored. . Prof. Lasne's performances - on tbe flute are nothing short of grand and his equal Is hard to to find. ' The play may be set do wn as a rare success, and one that was enjoyed with genuine pleasure by a large house. . A, matinee performance will be given this afternoon, commencing at three o'clock., ;:.V;;;i ; ' Death ef Mrs. A. F Grimsley. j , Mrs. Anna Pickett Grimsley,! wife of Mr. P. A.

We find in. it a neat compliment from an exchange (published in South Carolina) which we fully endorse: "An examination of this excellent publica tion for sometime past shows it to be the foremost journal of Its kind in the South, and for this section is unsp proached by any agricultural paper of which we have any knowledge." Among the many interesting articles of this number are Dr Jones "Thoughts for the Month,1 and the "Inquiry Depart' ment" conducted - by him, the latter a most admirable feature of the paper and one which we find In no other paper anything like as extensive as in the Cultivator ; editorials on various subjects, including eotton, the grasses etc, a full discussion of Jute culture, Poultry, Stock, Grange and Fashion Departments, further discussion, of -Dirt Roads," "The Family Orele "Children's ' Department," and much else which we have not spsce to men- tiOn.' - ' ' - - '..'' . . , '. i . Bill Arp's Letters, written especially for the Cultivator, appear regularly." Mr. David Dickson continues his spe cial contribution, giving his brother farmers the result of many years exper rience as a practical farmer. A page is set apart to "Education" in this issue. with a fine portrait of Prof. Mai km, the pioneer of : Public Schools in Georgia, and the man above all others who gave to the common, schools the efficiency and popularity which they: have at tained. .
