characterized by the sharpest irony and
the keenest sarcasm ever uttered in the
Senate As anextemp6ra1sou debater,
il is safeos cay that FessendeRg never

A story is told of Fessenden which so
well illustrates HE irasciLle temper that
few who knew him will disbelieve it.
l heard it not long since from one who
Was an eyewitness ofthe scene to which
it relates. Nj. Fessenden, as it il pre-
haps known, was the natural son OF a
distinguished New England lawyer, from
whom he inherited both temper and
talent. Father and son were at one
time engaged on opposite sides OF an
important law case. The young man
was then addicted to indulgences, not
uncommon then as now with those OF
his age and class; that is to say, he was
inclined to be fast. 10 the cross firing
of the suit the father made some refer.
ence TO this fact, though in what man.
ner and in what words my informant
did not say. But it was sufficient to
sting young Fessenden to the quick, and
he was not the man-to let even his
father get the better of him in such
matter. So when his turn came for
reply he determined to square accounts
with the old gentleman, and looking
and pointing directly at him, he said:
What you arraign my moral character,
when the proof OF your early guilt stands
before you in this court, to-day" |
doubt if a parallel to this can be found
in history; and yet, as l have said, it
was the stamp of William P. Fessenden
upon every syllable to such an extent
that men who knew the Senator will
not doubt the story Washington corr

me crons in me state.

The monthly report Of the Department
Of Agriculture for August and September
came to hand some days days ago, and q
brief summary of its statements with re-
gard 10 the condition Of crops in this State
may be interesting, though we much
doubt If they are entirely trustworthy.
OF corn It says Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia are the only States between
Maine and Georgia which report the corn
prospect unfavorable. The report states
however that the Department only has re-
ports from two Of our three counties.
The item with regard to peaches is very
brief and represents the crop as having
been injured more than 1t really was. The
tables showing the condition OF scrops on
the first of September show corn poor
Wheat good, oats fair, buekwheat good
potatoes fair, hay poor, beans good, sor'
ghum fair, hogs very good, wool product
good, apples nearly double crop peaches
very poor, grapes very good.
As we have intimated we greatly doubt
the trustworthiness of the report and are
sure the portions relating to peaches par
ticularly ARE to be taken with much allow
ance, for though the crop was far from
being a full one 1t was full enough to glui
the New York market more than once
during the season, and peaches sold il
this city for nearly two months at from
so to rs cents per basket, which is not The
case during the years of the poorer yield
