The Peach Crop.

The peach crop in this vicinity gives greAi
promise Of RR abundant yield, The croakeri
have. thus far, failed 10 do any considerable dam
age to the buds and il may now be said to be
9 ettled that taking viii not kill fruit At any
time during the rumors about the killing Of the
early fruit buds, tho ialsity Of the report could
have been shown on examination Of the buds
II we have no bad luck after this, we will
have the largest yield, Of all kinds Of fruit, OBJ
tanned for many years past.
South Of this city, in the neighLorhoods Of
Miamisburg, Germantown, franklin, Middle
town. to-, the prospect for large yields Of
peaches is bright, indeed. We learn that a
gentleman near Germantown, who has one Of
the most extensive and thrifty peach orchards
Ia this portion Of the State, estimates that he
will have, with anything like the ordinary
luck Of fruit growing years. between three and
four thousand bushels Of peaches this season.
he is an intelligent fruit culturef, and his
judgment In this regard, is taken as a standrd
by fruit men in this valley. Other culturists
Of intelligence and experience corroborale his
judgment in reference TO the probable yield Of
the peach crop this ssason. We will probably
have good fruit this year, at prices which will
place It In plenty in the reach Of all. This will
be great blessing to the animal creation and
We trust humanity will be sufficiently grateful.
II is probable that those fruit tree depreda
tors, caterplllers, will again make their appear
ance this spring. Our frait men should care
fully watch their trees, aud destroy the first
vestiges Of them. This can be easily accom-.
plished when the eggs are deposited upon the
trees but il left until the insects begin to crawl
II will be almost impossible TO destroy them
and Il they then do not utterly destroy the
fruit, they will deteriorate it, and make the
yield worth next 10 nothing See TO the cater
piller deposites, II ycu would have good fruit

Foreign Loans in the London Market.

The result of the recent Offering of two pub
lie loans in the London market, has polltl-
cal significance which is worthy Of attention.
Two governments come before the money
lenders with their drafts upon futurity. Eng
land wanted twenty,t five millions Of dollars to
settle up her India bills; Russia asked for
sixty millions for general purposes. The
rates of interest promised were nominally
different, one being five and the other three
per cent but these were equalized by the
price set upon the stocks. Between the two
Governments, in point of stability, credit and
future prospects, there is no difference. Yet
John Bull was willing to open his purse
strings and shell out, not twenty-five but thir-
ty-fiye millions of dollars, to sustain doubt
full empire in India, while for the Russian
loan, only two millions and half could be-
picked up on London change.-N. I. Herald.

The Mails and the Presidential Campaign.

The republicans Of Washington are max
ing fuss about the recent stoppage of batch
of bogus franked electioneering documents.
They are exceedingly indignant at this pro-
ceeding, and have come out with manifesto
on the subject. But all this talk will be ofno
avail for it is high time that the nefarious
frankiug privilege should be eradicated.--
1t would be the best thing for the country if
the Post Office authorities had the power of
stopping all these franked lectioneering docu-
ments 1t can scarcely be conceived to what
an extent the mail cars are loaded and encum-
bered by them in every Presidential campaign
All who receive newspapers and letters by
mail, are seriously injured in their business
their postage-paying letters being delayed to
make room for these electioneering papers and
pamphlets While politicians are allowed to
crowd the cars with their documents, the gen
eral revenue must suffer. There can be no
doubt that between this time and the next
election, the tons of electioneering documents
that will be circulated by means ofthe public
mails will have to be counted by hundreds
Let the bogus franks be stopped by all means

apples? No one can tell. But none must
be wasted. Every one who has them must

The New Difficulty,

The facts of the armed occupation Of San
Juan, rs we gave them yesterday, are IL fol
lows: In July, Gen. Harvey visited Veto,
ria, where he WAS courteously received by
Gov. Douglas. \ few days subsequently, q
party of e. s. troops was landed on San Juan
where they were joined by other troops from
Fort Bcllingham. our extreme Northern post
in Washington territory. American settlers
cmigrated to the island and clustered abou,
the military. The officer in command, Capt
Pickett, posted notice to the effect that he
was about to establish military post ON the
island, and asserting the jurisdiction of the
United States over it. When intelligence OF
this reached Eancouvers island, Gov. Doug
las issued his protest, summoned the Colo
NAL Assembly, and sent message to that
body British war vessels proceeded to San
Juan, and mt last accounts the officers and
men Of the opposing forces were indulging
in the ordinary courtesies of social life. II
is just possible that some precipitate action
may plunge the forces into hOstilities, pend
ing the diplomacy to which this vexed ques
ton must now be submitted, and by which il
can BE settled without bloodshed.-N. y

Stage SCENERY IN SHAKSPEARE's Tine
1t appears that Shakespeare, our great master
of picturesque situations, was but little aided
by the artistic ability of his age. Sir Philip
Sydney says, speaking of tragedies and
comedies rs exhibited ut the public theatres:
"Now you shall have three ladies walk to gath
or flowers, and Their we must believe the stage
to be n garden. By-anl-by We hear news Of
shipwrcck in the same place: then we are to
blame if we accept it not for n rock. L pom
the back Of that comes out hideous monster
with fire and smoke and then the miserable
heholders are bound to take it for a cave. -
There seems to have been almost as great
scarcity Of supernumerary actors as OF scene
~, for he adds: while in the meantime two
armies fly in, represented with four swords
and bucklers and then what hard heart will
not receive it for pitched battle field" a
writer in the Somerset House Miscellany,
published some thirty years ago remarks
that the Scotch used painted scenes, FOR. the
royal stage at least, before they appeared in
our theatrical representations, for some dra-
matte pieces performed at Hollywood House,
by order of King James before his accession
to the throne CT England, designed. it is
said. by Mytens, and painted by some foreign
artists. - London paper.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE At SEA.-On the
last trip of the steamship CircaSs'an, to Gal
way, second night out, a strange light was
discovered at distance of six or seven miles,
presenting an occasional glare, as if from II
ship in distress Captain Campbell immedi-
ately signalizcd her by burning u blue light,
expecting if she was i'll trouble, TO see it return
ed by display of rockets; but no response
was made. BY this time the glare became
more alarming, and Captain G. fearing the
vessel had no facilities Of making the signal
called for, with true humanity, turned his
steamer out of her course and bore down up
on the object. As the CurasSian nearcd the
glare, it appeared in every respect like i
burning ship. The passengers and crew wer"
likewise alarmed, their feelings of humanity
excited to the highest pitch, all preparing to
render assistance to the half charred suffer
ers they soon expected to meet. The steam
or had now got quite near, i boat was man
ned and ready to lower at a moment notice,
passengers in breathless silence clasped their
hands at the horrible spectacle that threaten
ed to present itself a ship was in the dis
lance, rs her sails Illuminated on the opposite
side, looking like transparent light, soon
showed, but she was not or fire. As the
CircasSian ran slowly round her. Captain
Campbell asked what was the matter? when
the answer came quite cody that she was an
american whalcr, burning scraps to try out
her oil."-N \. C"Wier.
