THE FEAT, CROPS, ETC.

Friday brought us to the midway of
summer, and before we reached the noon
of the fifteenth of July, the sun shone
with heat'and brilliancy that must have
placed our Oldest and most experienced
citizens in a somewhat melting mood.
But shortly after noon it became evident
that "Old Sol had done his best, and that
his fervency would have to cool down.
According to the rulings Of nature, the in
tense heat produced by the sun had the
effect to cause a thunder shower some
where near us-and the effects of it were
most refreshing to people that can
stand a good deal Of heat without be-
coming oppressed, or murmuring at the
mysterious ways Of Providence. Having
passed the meridian of summer it is more
than likely we have experienced 'the
hottest weather Of the season, and unless
we are very much Mistaken Friday, until
after twelve O'Clock, and before the thun-
der storm came to relieve the heat Of its
fierceness, was ''the hottest day of the sea-
son." We say this coolly and deliber.
atelp after having experienced the pleas
an. effects Of the thunder storm that pre-
vailed somewhere in our neighborhood.
As it is said experience teaches that the
rain which falls during a thunder storm is
productive of the greatest fertility to the
earth, have we not hope for most bounti-
full crop season this year? The saline and
sulphurous particles which fill the atmos-
phere during a storm are said to be col
lected and drawn down by the rain, and
become an excellent source Of nourish-
ment to plants; to say nothing of the i'm
mense multitude of little worms, seeds and
insects which are forced into the earth by
the rain, and which, by the assistance of
microscope may be easily discovered in
the big drops Of water that come tumb-
ling down from the clouds that have been

THE KING AND BENEDETTI.

The embers of this war have been
smouldering in France for many day, and
the Emperor, if he would, is powerless to
arrest their progress as they now blaze
forth throughout the length and breadth
Of the land. It is fire that will be
quenched only by blood. The diplomat
now retires from the scene, and the war
rior takes his place. The functions of
the latter always begin where those of
the former cease. Benedetti's occupation
for the time is gone, but we shall now
hear no end of MacMahon. There was
no opportunity for this French diplomat
to achieve diplomatic distinction by
drawing up conventions Of peace. He
was instructed to goad the irate king into
war, and faithfully he obeyed instructions,
bluntly and independently, as the sturdy
old monarch was taking glass Of water,
and doubtless as he pronounced the
offensive words there was mourning in
his heart for the present death OF his
diplomatic career. This interview must
have been fraught with interest. The zeal
Gus diplomat did not wait until the med
icinal water had passed down the royal
throat, but proceeded with precipitate
haste to deliver his masters message. 1t
is fair to presume that that water stuck in
his majestys throat, or nearly strangled
him. No doubt, with suffering voice
and red face, the old king gave the
Frenchman an ugly piece Of his mind,
which we shall never see in print, for
reasons which the reader can easily fancy.
Benedict might have waited until 1.-THE
man for whom Prussia was created had
assuaged his royal thirst. 1t would have
been more polite. At any rate the antici-
pated result was produced, and the SOW
ereign grew angry to the fighting point.
He will now have something else to do be-
sides taking pacific draughts of pleasant
waters. He is belligerent, as is well
known, and Of course, will put on his
spiked helmet and fighting harness, and
90 forth to the field of battle, and be
grand central figure in the coming
struggle.
As the Prussian king comes on, Bene-
detti goes off the stage, to reappear only
when the bloody drama shall have finished,
and then, with the olive branches in his
hands. For the present, he retires to the
shades Of obscurity, where he will re-
main as unheard Of as if he were behind
the clustered walls of convent
To true diplomat, it is unpleasant
duty to be charged with bringing on war,
for any tyro can do that The 'high
art" in his calling consists in preserving
peace. 1t is to be hoped that the services
of Benedict may soon be called into
requisition again to patch up peace, after
a sharp and decisive war, as this one is
expected to be.

made tos temporarily curtain the azure
dome OF heaven for wise and benefcent
purpose. From all the surrounding States
the information reaches us that plentiful
showers Of rain have blessed the land with
most promising prospects Of good crops.
If nothing intervenes between this and
the time for harvesting, to blight present
anticipations, the labors Of our husband
men will be crowned with just and bounti-
ful rewards, and the South will have made
another excellent step in the direction of
general prosperity.
Considering, in connection with these
things, the general good health that pre-
walls throughout the country, the people
have real cause for returning thanks to
the Supreme Ruler who holds and shapes
our destinies in spirit of mercy and
justice. If all men would properly reflect
upon these things, much of crime that
now stalks through the land would cease
to be proud of its infamous work, and
criminals would turn themselves to some
occupation that would help to swell the
general prosperity and happiness of the
country

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The business of Saturday was almost
the counterpart Of that of Friday. Among
financial operators there was a deal more
talk of the chances of the belligerents near
the Rhine, than Of the probabilities of the
rise or fall of home securities. Questions of
military science, are becoming as popular
upon the street as legal problems were a
few weeks ago, when the fate of Slaugh-
terhouse trembled before the legal tribu-
nails, The merits and dement's of the
Chassepot rifle and needle-gun are dis
cussed as learnedly by the body of bro
kers, as little while ago., the same sages
descanted upon writs Of injunction
and wits Of error. 1t is thou
sand pities that some Of our street
talent could not be transported to the cab
inets of Paris and Berlin. Even Won Bis
marck and Napoleon would not despise
counsel from such sources. Of course,
until we get accustomed to the thing
somewhat, We must let all other business
alone while settling European difficulties.
Bets are up as to the result of the first bat
tie, and perhaps that is as safe and profit
able an operation to go into as humdrum
stock speculations.
Gold was again the leading matter of
interest. Following New York, our mar
ket was altogether with the bulls, the
rates for the day being from 1852 to 116l.
A considerable business for this place was
done in the auriferous coin.
Slaughterhouse was perfectly quiet all
day. No sales were reported Bulls and
bears differ widely in their estimates of
the present value of the stock, but these
opinions are nothing but guesses. With
out some actual transactions, there is no

on which sheeis to operate in all impor-
tant measures is vital to her. She must
measure her future, not her present, and
regulate her scale by it. Hesitation about
cost from apprehensions of taxes argues
timidity, argues ignorance Of the laws OF
growth, argues incapacity unknown to
Northern enterprise. Contemplate the
grandeur of that expression of COM
mercial pride, will and skill, the Central
Park of New York, not to initiate, but to
appreciate it, that it may lead us to feel
the influx of like influences now approach
ing our great section and give them scope
for unfolding into demonstrations even
more glorious and sublime.
Let US, therefore, have our commits
sioners. Let us have the right sort OF
commissioners-ofl large prospecting pow
astle-builders even, for our great
city is going to Guido all that business ''of
Spain;" dwarfng the imagination, throw
ing dreams into shadow. And as soon as
we have these five large, fit men for COM
missioners, things will move at once. We
shall require more area than the New
York Central Park, as the distance be-
tween the Mississippi and Lake Pontchar-
train is three or four times that between
the East and Hudson rivers. If any mis-
takes are to be made, let them be in over
not UNDERGOING, as easier Of correction;
let them be large not little ones; buy or
appropriate more land than the future will
need, not less. And then at once put to
work designers, architects, engineers, hor-
ticulturists, aqueous professors, and all
sorts of outdoor connoisseurs. Time flies,
and the moment that is lost is lost for
ever

BYRNES'
IMPROVED CONCRETE PAVEMENT,
LAID BY
PAGE G. CO.,
IS Camp street, New Orleans.

The following are few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference to all
other materials:
l. 1t has been tested through one of the hottest of
New Orleans summers, and found not to soften by
the heat of the sun.
z. Being in general use at the North, it necessa.
rily must be proof against cold.
3. 1t is durable stone and much less expen-
sive
4. 1t is perfectly impervious to water and conse.
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
5. 1t makes dust in dry or mud in wet wea.
Their.
6. IT does not creak or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
:. It is impenetrabe to grass, weeds or water.
8. 1t prevents noxious vapors or gases arising
from the ground beneath and affords no reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositions
9. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for use
when finished.
TO- 1t is easily taken up easily relaid and easily
repaired when necessary
Some of the places where this work has been
done, and few of the parties who have had it put
down, may be known by the following references,
and most of the persons named can and will cheer.
fully give all of the information desired. An ex-
animation of the work is solicited:

Pine, the famous New Orledns restaura-
teur. has gone over to Bay st. Louis, and
opened an establishment for the entertain
ment OF the public. Besides keeping first
rate sable. he has horses and carriages at
rached to his hotel, aud some gentlemen of
our acquaintance have just been spending
few DAYS with him. They are quite delighted
with the treatment they received. The
statement that one of Pino's horses made a
mile in one minute and three-quarters, is
obviously an error. But there is no doubt
they are all fast enough for man not in
a tremendous hurry. Pine asks us to come
over and give his table, his deliciously cool
sleeping rooms, his refreshing baths and his
horses trial for day or two, and 1t is
quite probable, that we shall shortly see
about that horse Of the wonderfully last
time.

THE CITY COUNCIL.

The debates in the City Council are
frequently Of most interesting character,
from the fact that they treat Of local mat
tiers, and display degree Of talent for
many years unknown to that august body
OF burgomasters commonly denominated
''Our City Fathers" Since the Alder
manic days Of Peters, Roselius, Caldwell,
Freret, and men of their stamp, it may be
safely claimed the Council has not dis
played as much talent and good working
material as is to be found there at this
time by the appointment Of the Governor.
However much we may admire the popu-
lar elections, it can not be disputed
but that they had signally failed
in this city. for many years past,
to secure good city government, and
that for this cause our city affairs had run
into most deplorable condition, almost
verging on to bankruptcy and ruin.
Since the Inauguration of the present gov
eminent under the new charter, city af-
fairs have gradually improved, and the
government is promptly meeting its cur
rent expenses, so that its employees and
creditors have no longer to suffer the
"shaves that formerly had to be en-
dured through bad administration. The
wholesale system Of bargain and corrup-
ton that brought the credit of the city to
SO low an ebb, finds no favor under the new
order Of things, if we are to judge from
the close manner of scrutinizing claims
which is done in open council, instead Of
being passed upon by committees in
secret session.

THE FLOATING DEBT.

The amount of the floating debt hither-
to audited by Administrator Shaw, and
approved by Mayor Flanders and Admins
traitor Walton, is 81, $50, 767 Is. Of this
aggregate amount S170,92 20 are for
pay rolls of salaries Of city officers,
teachers and laborers, for several unpaid
months Of 1869. They will in few days
receive certificates from the Bank of New
Orleans, which is working with all the
promptness and expedition possible The
number Of entries is immense, the pay-rolls
being composed Of such small sums The
separation, classification and noting of
transfers, so far as handed in, has been
completed under the supervision of John
G. Devereux, Esq, late cashier Of the
Southern Bank, and was indeed a her.
culean task. The amounts due on the
pay-rolls to transferees will be sent into
bank as fast as proper proofs of the sigma
lures to the satisfaction of the city officers
is furnished, as the city must be guaran-
teed against risk of mistake by untouched
transfers.
All the unbonded debt will thus be soon
disposed Of by the new seven per cents
and the -thirties. The whole debt
will thus be in compact and ascertained
shape The resources of the city are
proved to be ample for current expenses
and all interest. With city affairs reduced
to this simplifed condition, the Admins
traitors can turn their attention to ways
and means for a gradual sinking and ulti
mate extinguishment of the debt.
