CRops IN KANsAs.-The crops thro'-
out the country look very promising, and
we may expect u good yield. The late
wet weather has somewhat retarded the
planting of the corn, and its subsequent
growth, but only in low and wet locali-
ties has il been materially injured that
on high ground is growing finely. We
have never behcld better wheat in any
country, than is seen on the prairies OF
Kansas at this time. The wheat harvest
will ommence in about two weeks. The
present crop proves that Kansas is as
well adapted 10 wheat growing as any
other State, and that its cultivation will be
a considerable item in the farming BUSH
ness. Oats look well and promise II good
crop. Many of our farmers have sowr
the Hungarian Grass, this season. We
see fields of this grass in every direction
and if turns out as well as represented, i
will henceforth be raised by all our far
mers. The prairie grass is better at this
early date of the season than it was a
cutting time last year, and we may ex'
pect a large amount to be cured and pu
up.-Leauenworh Herald.

THE WHEAT CRoP.-We have, from
time to time, alluded to the prospects of
the harvest in the North West, and a few
weeks since, predicted that the damage
from rust would not b. so serious as had
been apprehended by the farmers. In this,
our prediction was at fault. The damage
to the crop has been heavy and, as we
learn from a variety of sources, very
general. We know of some fields near
this city, which, a few weeks since, prom
ised an extraordinary Yield have not been
deemed worth cutting, and have been left
upon the ground.
The Spring wheat has not, and will not,
suffer to the same extent that the fall
wheat has. Will, the product of this crop,
and that of the fall crop, which has not

THE STRUGGLES OF GENIUs.-There
is q golden volume yet to be written on
the first struggles of forlorn genius in
London-magni6cent, miserable, emo
bling, degrading London. If all who
have suffered would confess their suffer-
ings-would show themselves in the stark
shlvering squalor in which they first walk
cd her :treets-would paint the wounds
which first bled in her garrets-what a
book might be placed in the hands of
pride! what stern wholesome rebukes for
the selfish sons Of fortune what sustain
ing sweetness for the faint of spirit How
often should we find the lowly comfort
ing the high-the ignorant giving lessons
to the accomplished-,he poor of earth
aiding and sustaining the richly endowed.

CAucus.-The American word caucus
is introduced into English politics. The
London Star speaks of a " caucus of Lord
Palmerston's friends" This word (Which
Webster is at a loss to explain in his die
tionary) is derived from early revolution
airy history. The North part of Boston,
which is celebrated from its a%nti-tea de-
monstrations, was the field Of labor Of the
cduikerS and other mercantile laborers.
These caulkers were the most active in
patriotic movements against British OPP
preston, and a "caulker's meeting" be-
came gradually to be called a caucus.
The word thus derived from revolutionary
patriotism, is now adopted even in the
land whose tyranny gave occasion to its
origin.
