The CROPS ON THE THKATER OF WAR-A
Frankfort letter of July 80 to the London Neus
says: more unfortunate time for the outbreak
OF hostilities could hardly have been selected.
The crops are nearly ready for the sickle, and
there is but scanty supply of labor. Through
cat the vast tract of country | have trsyersed.
from the fertile valleys of the Rhine and Mo-
selle to the sandy plains which encompass Ber-
lin, the sight of waving cornfelds was the one
which uniformly met the eye. Here and there a
few women were cutting down the ripe grain yet
in the majority of the fields there were no signs
OF the husbandman plying his necessary task.
In the vicinity of the Rhine the crops appear to
be unusually luxuriant. The drought, of which
complaints are made here as well as elsewhere
does not seem to have proved very I'M curious.
Ii IL expected that the vintage will be unexcep-
tionally good, provided opportunity is
afforded for peaceably plucking the grapes.
When gazing upon the glorious promises of the
prolific earth, il Is almost impossible to realize
the fact that n tremendous effort Is being made
to undo the work which has been accomplished
with much toll, and to convert the smiling corn
fields and vineyards into a barren and black
ened battle-ground.

The rapid progress made In the work or en-
closing and putting in proper order the Circle
at the intersection OF Massachusetts, and Yer
mont avenues and Fourteenth and NJ streets is
gratifying in the highest degree, but consider
able surprise is manifested that so far there
should be no indications of an intention ON the
part Of the street railway company to lay their
track on the outside OF the reservation. Is II
possible that the rails are to be allowed to run
straight through the ground, as at present? or
will :hey be removed in good time to allow the
entire completion OF the work without DELAY L?
We presume, however, the latter Is the course
TO be adopted. The beatty of the spot would
be forever marred under any other arrange
ment.
Particularly would this be the case if the ex-
pectation entertained by a large number of our
citizenS, that the proposed statue OF General
Kawlins is to be placed in this reservation, Is
would be so appropriate. Situated, as il thus
would be, at the intersection OF two OF the tines,
avenues in the city with two of the finest and
most frequented streets, and occupying a COM
handing position in the magnificent sweep of
the eye from Lafayette Square towards the
Soldiers Home, the tribute to the dead soldier
would be seen and appreciated by more per sons
daily than ii placed in almost any other local
ity. What the intentions of those in authority
may be, We have no means of knowing; but in
selecting site we trust that so reasonable An
expectation and 80 Just a desire on the part of
the public will not be overlooked or unheeded

CONGRESSIONAL NosTSATIoSs.-Gen. Lew.
Wallace, well known here during the late war,
has been nominated as the republican candidate
for Congress in the seventh district Of Indiana
which IL represented in the 4lst Congress by
Hon. Godlove s. Ortiz, republican, who was
elected by about 800 majority over his demo-
cratic opponent.
The democrats of the eth Ohio district yester-
day nominated Hon. Hugh j .Jewett as their
candidate for Congress. Mr.. Jewett. who is a
gentleman OF high character, has been long an
prominently connected with the financial and
railway interests OF the eastern and central
parts Of the State, and II is believed by his
friends that he can carry considerable strength
outside Of his party. This expectation is not
unreasonable, IN view OF the support he will
undoubtedly receive from railway men ,irrespec-
tive Of party predictions. As Judge winans
carried the district two years ago by ONLY los
majority, and the republicans last year by a
little over so, there would seem to be pretty
strong probability OF Mr.. Jewett's election: but
whether he is elected or not 1t is q hopeful sign
In politics TO see men OF his high Character
placed III nomination.

The matter with the Labor Convention at
Cincinnati Is that it scatters its fire upon too
many points. Instead of dealing directly with
labor questions proper, it enters upon the
illimitable field Of national finance, and under
takes TO deal with railroad and canal matters.
the public land system, &c. &c, and the result
Is that nothing practical is done. and the whole
convention resolves itself into an opportunity

national banks, steamboat subsidies, a metallic
currency, government system of railroads and
canals, and a thousand and one questions they

Amateur horticulturists are somewhat shocked
at the condition of the dwarf pear trees in the
grounds Of the Agricultural Department. That
the shrubbery and shade trees scattered through
out the city should be disfgured BY the ugly
webs which are 50 common at this season of the
year does not surprise them, but that the foliage
in the very abode Of care, taste, and knowledge
should be destroyed in that way rather jars
their sensibilities.
