HAVANA, Sept. rs, 1869.
Havana has been in the greatest state Of excite
ment for the past thirtyslx hours. The political
news from the United Staes II any, was suppressed,
while the market reports told OF gold at 65, 0nd
the widest coniectures were indulged IN, amid
them all the one prominent idea "war with Spain."
Late last evening 1t was announced that the panic
In New York was ended, and gold had fallen to SO.
This has allayed the excitement somewhat and
many Americans have temporarily suspended their
preparations to leave. Strange TO say, war with
the United States ia looked forward TO with the
most pleasing anticpations by the people here.
The idea Is Immensely popular. With the mass this
is the result Of ignorance Of the relative strength of
the two Powers; with 1t the Idea is actually enter
tanned that the few iron-clad ships Of Spain-there
are three, believe-coud sink the whole American
navy and destroy after another every city on the
Atlantic coast while the formidable old huks that
are floating around these waters to the imminent
danger OF all board Of them, would sweep Amerl-
can commerce from the seas. With the more intel.
hgent this idea Of war ia popular, as it would fur
nsh pretext for accepting the inevitable with aig
nifty. Nor is this feeling indefinite and underlined.
1t has taken shape and expression In the municipal
body this CITY, which, 1t may be said, has already
declared war. Yesterday 1t had meeting and pre-
sented, the result Of its consultations on the
present grave state OF affairs, the following TO the

on the River Fronts Of
the Metropolis.

u ,s doubtful II there exists another maritime
city in the civilized world that present the
spectacle OF so many mean, dilapidated and rotten
wharves and piers as this, the great commercial
mart Of the western Hemisphere.
Along both the North and East rivers, as far as
the eye can reach miserable specimens OF New
Yorks wealth and greatness In the shape OF decayed
docks and piers may be seen. why 1t IS that this
state OF aairs should exist IN city where so much
OF the wealth OF the world Is stored is a mystery
that wiser heads will have TO solve. Babylon and
Tyre, which have passed away and Venice, which
still remains monument Of her former greatness,
after having each attained the zenith OF prosperity,
dwinded into ohscurity. But 1t canno. be possible
that New York is following IN their footsteps yet
the present state OF the commerce OF this city and
the diapidated appearance Of its wharyes almost
warrant the belief.
Foreigners who land mere from alnerel2t seaports
Of the globe are struck with the miserable condition
OF our wooden piers or landing places and ridicue
them Liverpool can boast OF granite piers that
have withsto0d the test OF centuries. Bayrc, Bre.
men, and even Rio Janeiro, whose shipping interests
cannot be placed IN comparison with those OF New
York. have each their docks built OF substantial
masonry. and, In iact there is scarcely seaport OF
any pretenson In Europe but can put to shame this
city on the subject Of docks The Improvement of
the wharves has been the subject OF earnest discus
sion In both the Legislature and Common Council,
but nothing or dennlte character has been accom-
plished. Last winter, in the Legislature, an clabo.
rate bill on the subject ofwharf improvements In
this city was presented and Its passage warmly
urged. The bill advocated the granting OF more
power to the Commissioners OF the SINKING Fund,
allowing them to act with greater liberty, but by
vote OF the majority OF the members OF that Legls
lature the bill laid on the table for an indefinite
period.

Our Oliu,
A Diamond story.

Nearly century ago, an old gentleman
in the lower part Of Virginia, picked up
stone to throw at rabbit it glittered in
the sun, and the old man concluded to
take it home for his children to play with.
Shortly after, the family physician hap
pencd to see the stone, and offered six dol
lars for it, but the family would not sell
it. Subsequently trusty friend about to
visit Europe was given the stone, and upon
reaching London, he consulted Il noted
lapidary named Nox, who utter examining
it declared that all America is not able to
buy that stone
stA jew, whom the trusty friend consul
ted afterwards, warned him not to como
out with that stone again without guard,
as he would be robbed were it known he
had it. The friend returned home and de-
livcred up the gem, Some time afterward
q party of Marylanders offered for the
stone in lands and negroes the equiyalent
of one hundred thousand dollars, and wa.
refused The old man died, and the stone
las remained in the family for several gen
erations, and recently, so the story runs
it came into the possession of DR.. Dough
erty. of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
wose children are legal heirs. 1t is elaine,
to be diamond Of first quality, and weigh
four hundred carats, whilst that of til
Rajah of Mattan, said to be the largest i
the world, weighs only three hundred an
sixty-seyen carats The stone has bee
sent away to pass the scrutiny of the ables
scientific men of the country, and the Hal
risburg State Guard, which is responsible
for the story, of which the above is an ou
line, says, .sthere is no reason to beliey
but that America can boast of the large
diamond in the world"

An EASY METHOD TO HAVE HEALTHY
FRUIT TREEs.-An experienced fruit
grower, who possesses a beautiful orchard
near the Niagara River, Western New
York. has used one simple method with
success. lie takes lye from leached ashes,
mixes little grease with it, heats it quite
warm, and with syringe throws it up
into all parts of the trees, branches and
trunk. 1t will efectually kill all cater
pillars, all kinds of worms that are either
infcsting the trees in nests or running
over the bark. Trees treated in this man
ner we're exceedingly healthy, beautiful,
vigorous in appearance, possessed a
smooth, glossy bark, and bore the best
apples of the country. The remedy is
easy and cheap.
