4 Slight Difference.


In . certain family, where the good
lady prides herself upon the excellence
and tiaintiness of her salads, she sent .
new servant, the other day, for oil for the
caster. The servant went as directed,
and returned with q rather thick looking
fluid, which was, nevertheless, used. At
dinner the guests partook sparingly Of
the salad. The first taste seemed to pro-
duce the most unpleasant sensations. The
good lady perceived that something was
wrong. She urged the salad on her
guests repeatedly, hat without avail. AZ
last she tasted it herself; the rancid tasts
was horrible. Calling to the servant, she
demanded what was the matter with the
salad. ~ don't know, madame, unless it's

ed the lady. "The castor oil. ma'am.
Didn't you tell me to go and get
some castor oil ?" replied the innocent
daughter of Ham. "No; I told you TO
get some oil for the caster" ~ thought
it was castor oil you wanted" The effect
Of this announcement may be readily con-
ceiyed; and the good lady from thence
forward has had q wholesome horror of
salads and new servants.

Agricultural report.

WASHINGTON, July II.
TEE following is from report OF the
Department of Agriculture for July, Just
issued
average in the following States Maine,
spring, per cent; New Hampshire, 2
| Virginia, winter, /; North Carolina, +;
Georgia, 10; Alabama, 8; Tennessee, 9;
West Virginia, 3; Kentucky, 3; Kansas
2; Nebraska, 2: Oregon, 3. An average
crop is indicated in South Carolina and Ar.
kansas. and the following States fall be-
low an average: Vermont, spring, 9per
cent; Massachusetts,, 8; New York, ~ !;
New Jersey, winter, 20; Pennsylvania,

diana, winter, 10; Ohio, winter, 9; Michi-
gan, is; Wisconsin, winter, Is, and spring,
Is; Minnesota. Is; Iowa, IS; California, o;
Oregon, f. The great wheat growing dis
tricts all show reduction in their condi.
ton, rendering it certain that the crop OF
the year will be materially less than that OF
1869. Future reports Of the condition at
and after harvesting are still elements OF
the ultimate estimate, but the average de-
probation of Is per cent, and diminution
of breadth Of about 9 per cent, would
make the present estimate about 100000
600 bushels, the decrease being at least
as, 100000.
The increase in breadth of corn is great
er than the decrease in average OF wheat.
It may be placed at per cent, or about
1,159000 acres. There appears TO be a
very slight increase in New England,
about per cent. in the Middle States, g
decrease in the cotton States east OF the
Mississippi, and a much larger increase
in the heart Of the West. 1t is estimated
at 10 per cent in Illinois. 10 IL Indiana, 5
in Ohio, 2 ia Michigan, 8 in Wisconsin,
20 in Minnesota, Is in Iowa, % in Ne
braska and Is in Kansas. Throughout
the West the indications Of good crops
have never been 30 general since the in
auguration Of the official crop returns.
The increase of the acreage OF cotton,
IS indicated by the returns, averages IL
per cent. and aggregates nearly million
acres. The condition of crops is favor
able; neither the caterpillar nor the boil
worm has yet appeared. With an aver
age season present acreage should give
nearly 100000 bales
The oat crop is looking better than was
expected. It's condition is full average
in about half the States. including al
New England, except Vermont; also,
New jersey, Pennsylvania. Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee, West Virginia, Ken
lucky, and Oregon. It is less prominent
in New York, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Texas, and all the Western States,
in which the deficit ranges from 0 to %
per cent.
There is an increase of acreage of to-
bacco in Virginia and Kentucky. Our
returns show an aggregate increase OF
about 5 per ceut.
The prospects of the apple crop are TN.
in Illinois and Michigan, where the pros
pect is s to 10 per cent. below the average.
Grapes promise an abundant yield
throughout the country.
