The Harvest In EureDe.

By mail from Europe We have the follow
ing resume of the harvest prospects prevail
ing ct the great food supply centres on the
LIST of October, as reported in Paris:
The accounts of the harvest in GERMANY
are very unequal, varying In different dis
tricts from good to far below the average
yield. On the whole, the grain harvest of
middle Germany was below the average;
that Of the Southern States was far better.
From Austria we hear that the yield Of corn
is considerably smaller than in the last two
years; the same is true of Roumania. The
Russian harvest is stated to have been good
and the crops have no where failed so COM
pletely as in some places last year. The
fodder is everywhere poor, with the excep-
ton of . few mountainous diatricts. There
has been very little clover, and both the hay
and surrogate have been much injured by
the unfavorable weather. On the other
hand there has been q good deal of straw.
Both potatoes and beets have suffered from
the heat and drought of July and the rains
Of August. The disease has also appeared
with more or less virulence in some parts.
The hopes entertained for the potato har-
vest are not, therefore, high; but it is said
that the beet is improving. The hops are
said to be in very poor condition, partly
on account of the weather and partly from
the insects and the disease, which have ap-
peared in many gardens. Scarcely quar-
tor of the usual yield is expected. But lit.
tie fruit has been gathered, and even what
was IL poor in quality. This il particular.
~ the case with apples and plums. Nor
will 1869 be numbered among the select
vintages, a. the quantity of grapes is small
and their quality interior.

just then entered the car to look Of
our tickets, removed his cap and took the
nearest seat, Gud everybody was as orderly
and reverent as If the car had been q

exeursionists prayed for about ten minutes

Tho Pantin Murder.

A Paris correspondent gives summary
of the horrible murder committed near
Paris, some weeks ago, and which has
caused more excitement than any other af-
fair Of the kind for many years:
1.-THE murders at Pantin, or d'Anbevil-
liers, as it is called, still absorb public Gu
riOsity to degree which can be explained
by the state or troubled over.excitement
in which the public mind now is. Not
only do they speak but Of that, but we
might soy that the life Of the nation hung
upon that one crime. The papers devote
half their space to it, and give engravings
showing in succession the victims, the a.
sassination, tho scene of the murder, and
even the instruments with which the muir
der was perpetratsd. Thanks to all this,
some have doubled and TIRE bled their sales.
and even issued two editions day. They
really talk of nothing else; SO that it is inn
possible to have = conversation on politics
or business without this Pantin matter
serving Is exordium and peroration. In
the streets, on the railroad, and in the
country We see only people reading the
papers. Never has any great man or any
great event had, for q few days at least, a
more sudden and universal popularity than
this foul murder.
The assassin, who Is now arrested, and
almost all the details of whose crime have
been discovered, is q yourg man. the son
Of an honored artisan, and machinist by
trade. In order to gain the fortune of a
whole family, and to put himself in the
place Of the supposed survivor, he hit on
the idea of removing the family by killing,
successfully. father, mother, and six child
To l~ 90 hoa 49,
another, into series of carefully-premedi-
tated snares. He buried them in bitches
which were all ready, and then carried off
their papers. Thus armed he proposed to
go TO America, and thence obtain their
property BY passing hinisel: of for one Of
his victims. They arrested him at Havre
by the merest accident the evening before
his departure. Al to his yet uucaptured
accomplices, it is belivedd that there were
two of them, but both playing sub
ordinate parts. The offender. though
confessing his crime, conoeals a.
much as possible its horrible
character, which he attributes to the VIC
TINS themselves; and such was his shrewd-
ness in this drama that it was but step by
step and with difficulty that the truth was
discovered. It was, to great degree, the
mystery and the varied progress of this
murder, or rather of its discoveries, which
caused the effect that it produced on the
public.
Now, the different parties are using this,
and reproaching one another with it, with
equal injustice. -
If you did not constantly excite disor.
der and evil passions" says the government
TO the opposition, eff you watched ovel
the lives Of the citizens a little more, and
their political opinions little less," says
| the opposition to the government Thu
fact is, that the murder is the fault o.
neither. but is due solely to human greedi
meas, aided by q perverse. skilled, deter
mined and persevering nature.

Decomposition AFFECTED By L1aHr.-It
has been generally accepted that sunlight
was necessary to enable plants to decom.
pose carbonic acid, but NJ. Prilleux has
found that such artificial flames as contain
chemical rays-the electric light, and that
fir I'm burning magnesium, for example,
are sufficient to enable plants to carry on
such action, though at slower rate. A
branch of potamo geton, for instance, in
water, and exposed to sunlight, gave twen-
ty bubbles of oxygen in q certain time,
while exposed to the electric light, but
eleven bubbles were evolved in the same
time. Even under gaslight an exceeding

Effects Of Hashish.

A writer in the last number ofAppletons'
Journal says Of hashish: -. y
have often taken the drug, rather for
curissity to discover what its attractions
might be than for aught of pleasurAbls ex-
element ever experienced. Tho taste of
the potion is exactly what mixture of
milk, sugar, pounded black pepper and a
few spices would produce. The first result
is q contraction Of the nerves of the throat,
which is anything but agreeable. Presently
the brain becomes effected; you feel an ex-
traordinary ightness of head, as it were;
your sight settles upon one object, obstinate
" refasing to abandon it.; your other senses
become unusually uncomfortable
sensible-ond you feel tingling, which
shoots like an electric shock down your
limbs till it voids itself trough the extremi-
ties. You may stand in the burning sun
shine without being conscious of heat, and
every sharp pain is instantly dulled. Your
cautiousness and your reflective organs are
painfully stimulated; you fear everything
and everybody, even the man who shared
the cup with you, and the servant who pre-.
pared 1t; you suspect treachery everywhere,
and in the simplest action detect objects the
most completely villainous. Your thoughts
become wild and incoherent, your fancy
runs frantic. If you happen to exceed q
little, the confusion Of your ideas and the
disorder Of your Imagination will become
intense. -.t
recollect on one occasion being Der.
suaded that my leg was revolving upon its
knee az an axis, and could distinctly feel as
we'll a. hear it strike against and pass
through the shoulder during each revolu-
ton. Any one may make you suffer agony
by simply rsmarking that Z particular limb
must be in great pain. and you catch at
every hint thrown out to You, nurse it and
cherish it with morbid eagerness that
savors strongly OF insanity. This state Ia
10 very dangerous one, especially to novice;
madness and eatelepsy being BY no means
uncommon Examinations to it. II an as.
