The Tribune SIRnder - Mr.. Greeley
Writes Gard.
NEW YORK, May I.-Mr. Greeley, 10
an article signed with his initials, in the
Tribune, says three-fourths of the Young
correspondence was matter in which the
public has and could have no legitimate
interest, the blaZoning OF which could
crafty no decent curiosity, and TO print
which at all is simply an outrage. Mr.
Greeley expresses the belief that
the statement that Young has been abusing
his position on the Tribune or his influ.
eBee as journalist TO promote his private
ends, and especially 10 procure loans or
subsidies for himself or his friends in Phil
adelphis, is false AMI unfouaded, and
trusting that the one touching the Associ-
ated Pres will prove equally SO, calls for a
full investigation Of the same by the mem
ber5 of the Associated Press before some
impartial arbiter or tribunal, proposing 10
take DO part in that scrutiny unless we
are made party defendant, but insisting
that Mr.. Young shall not be stabbed
in the dark, but shall have the
fullest opportunity for explanation
and defence. Mr.. G. concludes a.
follows: We beg that it be understood
that the Mr. Young has not been removed
nor suspended nor in any manner con-
demned by rs, as has been mistakingly
asserted by the Sun, and telegraphed all
over the country. Ii ia not our custom TO
pass judgment on any one on the strength
Of mere indictment, especially when the
finding Of it was plainly impelled by envy
malice and blighted aspirations.

CROP PROsPECTS.

For many years the crop prospects, at
this period of the season, have not been
near so favorable as at the present time.
Last fall the weather was exceedingly
favorable for planting wheat Crops
were put in early, and, owing to the late
ness Of the season, the plants obtained u
vigorous growth before cold weather set
in. This saved the crop from the usual
mishaps of winter, and complaints of
freezing out have, consequently, been
rare. The late spring has also been fa-
vorable, the cold, wet weather having
prevented a too rapid growth The pros-
pect, therefore, as already stated, for an
abundant wheat harvest, are all that
could be desired Fall barley also
promises well.
Owing to the wet weather in March
very little field work was done, but for
two weeks farmers have been able to
work out of doors, and fine progress has
been made In getting in small grain and
potatoes and making the ground ready
for corn. Ia this respect the country is
far in advance of last season, and with a
continuance Of good weather corn plant
ing will, in the main, be completed by
the middle OF May whereas last year
very little corn was in the ground as ear-
ly as that period, and planting was mol
completed until in June.
The fruit prospect is also very good in
this section, and if We escape an untime-
ly frost, the yield Of all kinds will be very

HEAVY RAINS IN ALABAMA.-The
Montgomery Mail of April %, says the
heavy rains on Friday evening and Fri
day night will not only interfere with
farming operations generally, but they
will cause the Alabama river to overflow
all the lowlands subject to inundation
that were not already under water from
previous rains. A good deal of damage
to young crops, besides extra work, will
be the result.

THERE are few things new under the

the Modes, and the slang term of going
snaeks is traced back to the great Lon

TERRIBLE FAMINE IN THE NORTH OF
EUROPE.-Advices by mail from the
countries on the Baltic sea tell of ter
rible and widely extended famine now
existing there. A letter says that the
distress is indescribable. From the 23d
of May TO the 18th of August, last year,
no rain fell, and the summer crops were
scOrched. Bread can now be scarcely
got, even at the most exorbitant price,
and, as the rords are impossible by rea-
son Of the extraordinary wet weather,
no help from abroad can reach the peo>
pie. The debilitated condition Of the
population and their herding together in
the larger villages, in the hope of get
ting food and shelter, has engendered
disease, which is making fearful ravages.
