Grain Crops i'm Europe. ID,
= LeNpofS, Aug. 26 Reports of the condition
of cereals in France are favorable. The crops
are pronounced as very good in AZ departments,
good in 81 and passable in 6; good in Corsica
and excellent in Algeria, yet the estimates of
the probable. yield in Europe indicate that those
count tries, cannot furnish the customary sup
plies of breadstuffs, and Italy and England will
require more than usual, ID The export from
France may possibly exceed 10000, 900 heotot
litres, but it is feared that the increased French
taxes on foreign bottoms will have a bad effect
on commerce and restrict the facility of trans
portaton

CIVIL RIGHTs.-We are credbly informed
that Frederick Douglass was insulted by the
employees of the Dining Saloon at Brunswick,
Monday, where he went with parties acquaint-
ed with him and took seat at one of the ia
bles A waiter came along and soon took the
orders, Mr.. Douglass giving his with the 9th
ers. The waiter soon returned with the din
ners of all the others emitting Mr.. Douglass,
who again repeated his order, but the waiter
paid no heed, going to another table. A gem
tleman at the other table called the attention
of another employee to the slight which by this
time became so generally noticed as to make it
embarrassing to Mr.. Douglass and his friends;
but no immediate measures were taken to rem
edy the slight, and he was neglected until it
was too late for him to be served. After hear
ing about the affair, the proprietor furnished
Mr.. Douglass lunch to take in the cars. The
matter caused considerable indignant comment
We do not understand that the proprietor is in
any way responsible for this insult to a gentle
man, but so great, though so recent an admirer
of Mr.. Greeley and Senator Sumner. should in
struct his employees to accord impartial cour-
tesy to every citizen who conforms to the rules

Mrs. ANNIE GRANGER Dow.-The worship
pers at State Street church last Sunday were
charmed and delighted with the singing of
Mrs. Annie Granger Dow of Boston, who it
will be recollected won such applause at the
first Cary concert here last year. Since that
time Mrs. Dow has been to Italy and has made
great progress in the cultivation of her voice
and in her style of sin ing. At the evening
service in the church she sang with tenderness
and effect that beautiful hymn "Jesus lover of
my SOUL" The house was crowded both at
morning and evening service and every one was
enraptured with the strong, clear land birdlike
notes of the fair vocalist.
