TIE CROPS.

The Revanna Democrat says that the
fruit growers don't think that the apples
are at all injured as yet and number
have said to US that they anticipate very
fair crop of alfsthe fruits, save, perhaps,
peaches.
A correspondent of the Toledo Com
n1erciaL who has Travelled all over North
western Ohio during the last week ortwo
says: II an fully convinced that We will
have from one-third to half an average
crop of wheat There are many fields
that will be an entire failure and many
that previous to the recent rains did not
promise much, will with continued favor
able weather yield from one-third to half
a crop, and there are many others that
present as fine an appearance as could be
desired. Particularly is this the case
where they have been protected by woods.
Barley is an entire failure as far as fall
sowing is concerned. There Is greater
breadth of oats sown than 1 have ever
known in this section, and they promise
remarkably well. There is prospect of
a remarkable heavy crop of apples, and l
do not think the recent frosts have done
them much if any damage. There will
be no peaches, although the trees do not
appear to have been killed. The cherry
crop is almost failure. The farmers are
nearly done planting corn, and good
part of it is up, and presents fine appear

New YoRK, May 24.-Posmaster General
Dennison in the concluding portion of his
speech at the serenade in Washington last
night, said the theory of the Executive
programme for the restoration of the South
ern States looks to an early admission Of
loyal Senators and Representatives, while
the Congressional programme looks to de-
lay, conditioned upon the adoption of cer-
tain Constitutional amendments. He thought
unless this difference was adjusted it would
lead to unfortunate results to the whole
country; still he did mot think these diff
culties were irreconcilable-indeed Con-
gress and the President vera nearer togeth-
er now than they were at tho meeting of
Congress.
Secretary Harlan did not speak; he sent
a letter in which he referred to his position
in the past as shown in his public Speeches,
and of course he could not change that po-
sition without betraying the confidence re-
posed in him. His opinions being so fully
known he did not deem it worth while to
reiterate them.
Mr.. Speed also sent letter saying he
had not time to give fitting address.
Various Items,
A Washington special to the evening
papers says Mrs. JEFF. Davis arrived there
this morning, seeking an interview with
the President respecting her husband.
Foreign dispatches received at the State
Department are unfavorable for the preser-
vatiOn of the peace of Europe. A war is re-
garded as imminent, and the mercantile
and financial classes are strengthening g
themselves for tie strain upon their re-
sources. The report of foreign gold causes
no uneasiDess however, and the condition
of our foreign affairs are regarded as sound.
The Treasury Department will continue to
sell gold freely to sustaid e temporary drain
of specie that may soon turn in our favor.
The Senate will reject the reconstruction
amendment or overload it with clauses that
will create an issue with the House, and
postpone action during the present Con-

Charles Dickens.

most fashionable of the large assembly
rooms of the metropolis, holding about
$4,000 people. Long before the doors
were opened, they we're besieged by an
eager multitude Of ladies and gentlemen.
The price of admission ranges from
twenty-five cents to dollar and half.
The larger ami better portion of the seats
were preserved" and were filed with
people, the feminine portion of whom
were most brilliantly dressed. It was
amusing to hear the jokes and outcries Of
the people, in the back part of the room,
among the unreserved benches. They
were all illusions to characters in Dick
ems writings. This was beforethe arrival
of the great man himself. If q person
stood up in front, he wss saiuted by such
fire in the rear as this: HSit down, Peck

course, at these tremendous hits there was
great laughter. Almost at the moment
announced Mr.. Dickens advanced upon
the platform. He was in elaborate even
ing dress, wore gloves, and had 8 rose
upon his left breast. Though he steps
with an elastic tread, and all his bearing
is vigorous, he is showing signs of years
in his face, and in the increasing bald
ness of his head.
As the audience in the reserved seats
were not all in their places, he stood be-
hind the little table in silence for nearly
five minutes, eagerly looking about the
hall, every now and then his face lighting
zp with playful smile as he recognized

the fullest corstrol over his audience, and
brought tears to their eyes and laughter
from their lips at his will. His sustained
vivacity, his ease and force, the fun OF his
look and manner, the delicacy of his
pathos, and the intensity of passionate
ioy, particularly when DR.. Marigold finds
that the child of his dumb ward has a
voice, united to make Mr.. Dickens recita-
ton perhaps the most perfect and mas
terly display of histrionic genius, which
London has witnessed for many years.
This, at least, Is the decided verdict of old
play goers and theatrical critics, such as
Edward Yates, who is THE Flaneur' of
the Mornino Star.
It took Mr.. Dickens an hour and ten
minutes to give DR.. Marigold. After
few moments retirement, he. came on
again and read "Mr. Bob Sawyer's Par
ty," and then sent US away home in high
glee and admiration.

Superstition Versus Faef.-Among the
many instances of the peculiar tenacity with
which the mind cIings to youth, Is perhaps that
related in history, Of Ponce de Leon, an early
Spanish sdventurer. 1t seems he was 50 much in
fatuated with this hope, that it finally became
belief with him that it vas attainsble. Under
this impression history speaks Of him, a. having
embarked upon an expedition through the beauti-
fuI and ever blooming FlOridas, with the idea Of
finding spring, the water of which he. had taught
hinselfto believe would give him psrpetEal ssuth.

plainly discover that We must look to the develop

toa toward this desired end and If it is to be

to accomplish their purpose, Roberts, him
