The weather during the month has been unfavorable, and comoared with last year less favorable. The plant dur ing the latter part of the month was fruiting well and retaining its squares and bolls. Many complain of shedding during the first half of the month, caused by contlnuous rains. The present condition of the crop is good and better than last year, though grass is com plained of in many instances. Picking has commenced in most counties and will become general about September 10. Worms have ap peared in 27 counties, and, while the caterpil lars have done no harm as yet, the boll worms have caused considerable damage in several counties. Much injury has been created by rust, shedding and rot, the average damage from these sources being fully 15 per cent. Replies dated on and after the first instant from Amite, Calhoun, Claihorne, Copiah, Pike, Simpson, Wilkinson and Yazoo counties state that severe damage was done to the cotton crops by the storm of September 1.

[New York Herald.l A few days ago John Doyle, of No. 63 Co lumbia Place, Brooklyn, was reported misE ing. Yesterday his mother called at police headquarters and stated that she had discov ered her son, who was under treatment at the Chambers Street Hospital. Young Doyle, who is an expert swimmer, left his home on the evening on which he disappeared and un dertook to swim along the New York shore in the East river. While enjoying himself in the water he was suddenly attacked by a swordfish, which struck him on the right leg, just below the knee, inflicting a deep and painful wound. He struck out vigorously for the shore and landed in an exhausted condi tion. He was removed to the hospital, and is now rapidly recovering. A New FoPerm of insanlty.

Salamander Catfish. ['Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise.] The catfish planted in the cooling pond at the Overman works thrive remarkably, though in places the water has a temperature of 130°. This is at and about the point where the water comes from the condenser. Hav ing grown in the pond, the fish are accus tomed to the water, and sail through even the hottest spot with perfect impunity and with out even so much as an extra wiggle of the tail.

Preparations for Another Afghan Campaign-The French Grain Crop--Labor Troubles in England and Race Troubles in Turkey. THE UNITED KINGDOM. Lo'7ool.. Sept. 11--Up toll o'clock to-night no information had reached the government regarding the announcement of the death of the Ameer. The rumor is discredited In ofi cial quarters. Notices of 5 per cent reduction in the wages of operatives have been posted by nearly all of the Wigan cotton spinners. The reduction affects 7000 operatives. A number of tenant farmers selected as delegates from Scotland, England and Ire land, sailed on the steamer Peruvian, which left Liverpool to-day for Quebec and Montreal. The delegation goes to America under the auspices of the Canadian government to in vestigate and report to their constituents the advantsges which the Dominion presents as a place of settleruent. LoNDO. , Sept. 12.--Evidence accumulates, going to prove that the revolt in Cabul is due to Rissian influences. Serious riots are now proceeding in Cabul, and many traders and citizens are reported killed. A movement for a general rising against the British on the fifteenth is now making. The story of warlike measures by the Brit ish in Morocco is denied. A dispatch to this evening's Sthndard from Bombay say s: Reports from Mo oltan state that Herat, Badakshan and Balkh have all revolted against the Ameer. A holy war is being preached throughout Afghanistan. The Press Association announces that tele grams to the government confirm apprehen stona of organized opposition by the populace. The Viceroy, however, is sanguine of speedy success. It is believed that preparations are making for rn advance in suflicient force to pursue the Hieratee regl.iwnts. It is stated that (Gen. Donald Stewart will have supreme command in Afghanistan. The Viceroy of India telegraphs the state of military arrangements up to September 11. Gen. Roberts will have .r,00 men, consist ing of two brigades of Infantry and one brigade of cavalry. This force takes posses sion of the country from Shutuartan Pass to Cabul. From Shutagartan Pass to Thull the country will be held by 4000 men under Gen. Gordon. The Khyber line from Peshawaur to Gundamak will be protected by 6600 men in addition to the Peshawaur garri son. This force will provide a movable column to hold Jagalalak and communicate with Cabul. Reserves at Pa.hawaur and Rawulpendi will number 5000 men. The above force will represent a division capable of meeting all opposition. It will have its headquarters at Cabui, and an army line tolts base at Peshawaur. It will have a second line by way of Shutagardan Pass till that pass is closed; after which Gen. Roberts must look for maintenance to Cabul and Peshawaur. The Khyber column is in active organization, and the troops are now advancing to occupy Bakha. Guides are pushing on to Basawal. The correspondent of the Daily News at Alla habal says: The orders are to occupy Cabul with or without the Ameer's consent. The Reservoir cotton mills, near Manches ter, have been buried. The loss amounts to from £15,000 to £20,000. The earthenware manufacturers of Hanley have unanimously resolved not to renew con tracts with their workmen except at 10 per cent reduction of wages. This movement af fects 60,000 work people. About half of the cotton operatives at Ashton came out on astrike yesterday. The rest will follow suit to-day. Reports relative to the movements of th'e mutineers in Afghanistan are conflicting. Some special dispatches revive the rumor that they are approaching the frontier. As the Viceroy's dispatches to-day do not mention the death of the Ameer, it is thought the repo;, of his murder is unfounded. The Times, in an editorial on the future of the Afghanistan campaign, says: The plan of operations successfully followed last autumn will be repeated now, except that the three advancing columns will start from the scien tific frontier instead of from their canton ments, as before. Len. Roberts's movements, it says, must in a great measure depend on the temper of the hill tribes and the news he may receive from Cabul. If the hill men co operate with him or even remain neutral, a rapid advance with a small force is feasible. If, on the contrary, current reports be true, aid the Ghilzals and others have joined the revolt, GeO. Roberts will be compelled to hold his chain of communications in great force before venturing to advance. The Ghilzas are the most powerful tribe in Afghanistan. Their territory extends six hundred miles in length by thirty in breadth, and their fight ing strength is 50,000 well armed men. SIMLA, Sept. 12.-Yakoob Khan has written to the Governor of Candahar, Informing him of the massacre at Cabul, and ordering him to follow the advance of the British author itites. The government has sanctioned the con struction of a railway in Bolan Pass. The meeting of the Home Rule League In Dublin yesterday, at which Messrs. Power, Parnell and O'Leary were present, appointed a committee to arrange for calling a popu larly elected convention of 300 members, the same number as composed the former Irish Parliament, to discuss Irish questions before the next session of Parliament,. An explosion has occurred in the colliery pits of the CreeveSCoal and Iron Company, at Leycett, Five persons are already known to have been killed. TURKIY. PHILIPPoPOIAS, Sept. 12.-A collision oc curred yesterday near Aides, between some Roumelia militiamen and a band of Mussul mans. Two officers and eight men of the militia were wounded and ten men are miss ing. RUSSIA. ST. PETEBBURB, Sept. 12. - Important changes in diplomatic services are still ru mored, including the appointment of the Zarowitch as chief of the Imperial Guard and commander of the military district of St. Petersburg.

FRANCE PARJI, Sept. 12.--The transport Sendre will arrive at Port Vendres to-day, having on board another company of amnestied Com manits.

Pras Sept. 1 -Th-ae a a newer tbie tr-opeus, says: T'wet~oy-eighit a francs worth of French gold will leave for the United States this week. In a detailed annual statement relative to the French harvest, M. Estlenne, the great agricultural authority, says: "This year's aggregate crop will be 90,000 000,hectolitrese against 95,000.000 last year. This will neces sitate the lmportation of five or six mlilion hee tolitres. FOREIGN ITEMS. Last session the British House of Lords sat 206 and the Commons 1010 hours. The harbor of Melbourne, Australia, is tobe improved at a cost of $6,000,000, so as to ad mit of ships of any burden coming right up to the city. The annual rate of mortality in England and Wales was 22.26 from 1840 to 1850; 22.24 from 1850 to 1860; 22.51 from 1860 to 1870; 21.64 from 1870 to 1877. Truth says that the Hereditary Grand Duke of Baden was the first favorite, among possi ble candidates, for the hand of Princesse Bea trice, but itis asserted that he wishes Queen Victoria's granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the Princess Alice. Another phase of the Antonelli case is promised by Countess Lambertini's applica tion for a new hearing on the ground that she has additional evidence that can reveal her mother's name. The mother, it is said, is married to a Roman gentleman, to whom she has borne several children. Acc6rding to official statistics furnished by the French War Ofice, 769,140 men will spend more or less time under the flag this year in conformity with the new military law. The active army is set down at 479.100 men; the reserve of the active army at 144,5701 men and 2850 officers; the territorial army at 117, 800 men. "The erection of the colossal head of 'Liberty' designed by Bertholdl for the New York roadstead is," says (alignani, "making rapid progress at the back of the Palais de l'Industrie, and the public will shortly be able to visit its interior. Thanks to the suc cess of the Franco-American lottery, the whole of the monument will be completed in less than two years, and before its departure for its transatlantic destinati n will be put together temporarily for inspection by the Parisians. The height of the monument, it may be remarked, will be about that of the Vendome Column." A French lass was at school, and during a thunderstorm the electric fluid fell close to her. For a moment she. seemed to be suffo cating, but this sensation soon passed off in to a fit of hiccups. Th'se became so distress ing that after ttiree days her mother took her to the children's hospital in Paris for advice. The surgeon ordered her to be taken to the operating theatre, where, on seeing the medi cal man standing at a table covered with some awful-looking instruments, and sur rounded by a number of assistants in white aprons, the child became so terrified that she forgot tiher blhccups, and she was thus cured. "The first Napoleon," remarks the Conti nental and Swiss Times, "endowed all his family splendidly, as the master of Europe might have been expected to do. The records of St. Hlcena show that a sum variously esti mated at from $20,000,000 to $100,000,000 of money was at the command of the exiled Emperor in Amsterdam, Frankfort and Lon don. Notwithstanding the idle stories which have been current for years as to the pecu niary embarrassments of Napoleon III before he became ruler of France, it is absolutely certain that at the death of his father, the ex King of Holland, at Leghorn, in 1e46, he in herited a very handsome property." Wild beasts make awful havoc among the cattle of some of the Russian provinces. In the province of Novgorod, for example, the horses and cows of the peasants daily fall victims. The authorities of that province have during the past ten years tried every possible way of rooting out the wolves and beasts, but without any noticeable success. In the year 1878 the loss then ran as high as 1500 head of cattle. At its last session the Zemstvo decided to offer a reward of five roubles to every person who shall kill a wolf, old or young, and ten roubles for each bear killed during the summer, the money to be paid from the provincial fund. Strychnine pills are recommeneed for the destruction of the wild bea-ts. Russian papers report that during last month no less than nine persons were bitten by a rabid wolf in the hamlet of Bogoljubow, In the Vladimir district. They were taken to the hospital, where five of them died in dreadful agony soon after their admission. The doctors resolved to try in the other cases an experiment which a German physidan had employed with success against hydro phobia. The experiment consisted in admin istering to the patient a dose of the Indian poison eurare. The Russian Pravda says that this was administered at Vladimir to the remaining four persons who had been bit ten by the wolf. They all died, but without the preliminary torture of hydrophobia. The paragrapher of the London Truth in forms the world of the followinog facts, which may be of interest to some Americans: "A great-grandson of Racine, I see, has just been helped to a title of marquis by the Pope. For the benefit of my countrymen and others I may as well state here that any person who wants to obtain a similar distinction from the Vatican can purchase it on comparatively cheap terms. The list of prices is as follows: For a duke's title £E80, marquis £320, count $240, baron £160. Iuch titles have currency in continental society, are a sure ladder to the hand of an heiress, and on the whole seems to pay well. There are certainly worse invest ments in the market." What France Will Bay in Amercla, [Chicago Tribune.] It is admitted by a Paris journal that France will be compelled this fall to purchase, almost exclusively in America, about 5&,0l0, 000 bushels of wheat, thus coming in direct competition with England, whose demand will he great. Besides these markets for the United States crop surplus, Spain, Belgium, Holland and Italy are expected to appear as large buyers of food supplies on this side of the ocean. Extensive as was the harvest here, the product will be found none too great to meet the demands made upon it. Upward of 1000 letters from the West have been forwarder to the dead letter ofLice, bear ing the address of Messrs. Stone & Smith, Chicago. The fact that they always con tained .daguerreotypes, with instructions as to how they should be enlarged, caused an in vestigation by the postoffice officials. The re suit shows that George C. Ford is traveling throughout the Western States representing himself to be the agent of the firm men tioned, and solicits orders on commission. After receiving the commission he writes qut a memorandum to the firm, and disanpears for a new field of operations. No such firm as Stone & Smith exists, consequently the persons transacting b'.siness with Ford are swindled. The special agents are on the alert for the impostor.

It would have been as much as the party could have done to get a majority, even with union and harmony- Let the convention and those connected with it now take the consequences of defeat."

A (CALL FOR A PARISH CONVRNTTON--VOW DELE'OATES WILL RE ELECTED - THE TIMIES" IN BAPIDES-FAVORITE CA iDI DATES. [Correspondence of the Democrat.] ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 8, 187. The Parish Democratic Central Committee for Rapides met on Saturday, sixth Instant, and took action as follows to organize the party for the campaign: They ordered that, on the twentieth of Sep tember, a mass meeting be held to elect dele gates to the State convention; on the eleventh of October, a primary election for ward dele gates to the parish convention; on the eighteenth of October, a parish convention to nominate candidates for the parish offices and to select delegates to the judicial and sena torial conventions; on the twenty-first of Oc tober, the district and senatorial delegates will meet in Alexandria to nominate candi dates for judge and district attorney of the Twelfth Judicial District and Senator for the Eighteenth Senatorial District. The executive committee is composed of able, upright and experienced gentlemen, and the party here will be thoroughly organized and will present a ticket of influential aid capable candidates. The recent advice of the New Orleans Dxx OC.RAT to the parishes in regard to free and fair nominations will be rigidly observed, and the party will confront the foe at the Decem ber election with solid ranks. The people, as far as Rapides is concerned, are determined to check the influence of the New Orleans Times in spreading discontent in our party. Its stupid and persistent prat tle about "machine politics," "ring rulers," etc., is looked upon as only a cloak to cover Its malicious and hereditary hate of the Dem ocrat i party. It is a badly disguised struggle to defeat the nominees of the convention to be held in October at Baton Rouge, and its pretext for attacking tnd party, however specious, does not possess the requisite thickness, so to SGen. Fred N. Ogden will receive enthusias tic support in the Baton Rouge convention. from this portion of the State for the nomina tion for Governor. W. C. M. In the City. A meeting of the Malloy Guards, of the eleventh ward, was held at their hail, corner of Ninth and Tehoupitoulas streets, last night, with 173 members present.

Brown. iA meeting of the Fitzpatrick Invincibles was held at Turners' Hall last night, with a large assemblage of the voters of the third ward. The meeting was held for the purpose of appointing committees, and not for the in dorsement of any one. It adjourned subject to the call of the president. THE REPUBLICAN CAMP. A Lively Meeting of the Parish Com mittee. The Republican Parish Committee met in regular weekly session last night at Violet Hall lcorner otRampart and Common streets, J as. Lewis, president, in the chair and twen ty-one members present. The report of the committee on clubs was called for, and two-a majority and minor ity-reports were submitted. They were both on a contest for the officers of the Third Ward Central Club. The majority report recommended that the matter be referred back to the voters of the ward and a new election ordered, and the mi nority report recommended the recognition of the officers headed by Charles H. Cripps as president. A motion was made to adopt the minority report, and Devezin, of the third ward, took the floor. He holds his seat in the committee on cre dentials signed by Crippe, but notwithstand ing he argued against his recognition. The position of Devesin is explained by the fact that Crippe Is a pronounced op. ponert of the Custom-House faction of the party. Devezin was on thtlcket with Cp as delegate to the Pariah Committee, btt sirce theelection he has been given a place in the Custom-House.
