THE CROPS.

A synopsis Of tho October crop. re-
port Of J.R. Dodge, sta,iscican Of the
4 Dep,rtmsnt Of Agriculture, indica,s,.
the comparative production Of wheat,
oats and barley aud tho condition Of
the corn crop on the lst Of October.
The record Of the yield Of wheat is
quite as variable as was that Of its con.
d,tiou during the summer. Some OF
the States have made superior crops
and others almost the poorest ever
groxo. The New, England States have
nearly sustained tho usual average!
The Middle States and Maryland, to.
gether, reduced their last years aggre.
gate from 81, 900, 900 bushels to g..
100000, Or thirty .ave per can't.
The Southern States, from Virgiuia
to Tennessee, which we're known to
have increased largely their wheat
area, appear to have enlarged tbei'
production fifty per cent, or from 49,
ooo,O to 27,000,0 900 bushels.
Calitorni. h.s increased her pro-
duct At least seventy five per cent.
Minnesota and Iowa have made Z
material increase, while Missouri and
Kansas, the former growing winter
wheat mainly, the latter both winter
and tpring, have had comparative fail
ures in both varieties.
Virginia aud Kentucky have hac
good crops, while Maryland and Ohis
! return diminished yields, as does tht
entire district between the Ohio and
the lakes. The Miami and the Hud
SOD returos have been received tron
counties representing a large propor'
tion OF wheat Of each State, which TO-
dicste an increase Of about 6ge PEI
cent. over the product Of last year
which Vas estimated at 23,000,OO(
bushels.
1t is probable that the completed e.
ti,nate will not fall short Of 240, ,000,
900 bushels, upon an area Of lit,l'
less than 2o,000,o0o acres. This Wi
make the yield between twelve an.
thirteen bushels per acre, vhicl
may be considered al average for tn
United States.
The increase ia tho States west 0
tho Mississippi appears to BE- about Is,
100000 bushels, or, in comparison
With last years product, IS, ,000, ,00'
nov to 100000 bushels ,heu.

The CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGEs.-The
New York Post is severe on the declared
determination of the Government to ad-
here to its original position at the Gone
va Conference. The editor says: "The
peace and good will existing between two
gre"t nations, the amicable settlement Of
a subject Of international dispute, and
the precedent to be established for simi-
lar difference between other nations, are
to bo endangered, il not sacrificed, for
the sake of mass OF rhetoric. nut in.
undoubtedly, simply to increase the sum
lin gross to be awarded. A nations
honor is sacred, and should be jealously
guarded; but if the Washington treaty
fails, through an obstinate adherence to
claim which even those who support it
admit to be useless, it may we'll be
doubted whether the honor of the Ame-
rican people will be truly maintained.

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED W1FE's
SISTER. Marriage with deceased wife's
lister has again been agitating the minds
OF the folk of England. Queen Victo-
ria. having legolized the practice in Aus
tralia, is now in the pretty prelicament
that If she ever has an English Premier
and an Australian Premier who marry
their deceased wives sisters, the English
wife will be considered by her Lord
Chamberlain as living in sin, and unfit
to attend court; while the Australian
wife might be tho Queens most virtuous
Mistress of the Robes. One defective
argument against the bill is, that rela-
tions by affinity are the same as relations
by oonsanguinity. The weak point here
is. that while mans wife's sisters are
his sisters, they are not his brothers
sisters; hence several brothers may marry
sisters--A mans brothers may marry his
sisters by law, but not his sisters by
blood. The relationship, therefore, of a
man to his wife's family, does not and
cannot become the Same as that to his
own sisters. He may marry one sister.
his brother q second, his father thi.d.
and his grandfather fourth, all acting
legally; but the same relationship to real
sisters would be abhorrent. AS Dues
ton OF logic. the argument, therefore, is
worthless.

A BALTIMORE AND NEW YORK Rail-
RoAD.-The New York Tribune, of YES.
terday, says:
"Those two eminent railroad mana
gers, Messrs. Thomas A. Scott, of the
Pennsylvania Central, and John W. Gar
rett, of the Baltimore and Ohio, lately
locked horns in Washington, and the
former, after protracted, desperate con-
test, triumphed. He asked of Congress
permission to run his trains (over q sub
sidiary road) into the heart of the Fede-
raj oity, through public grounds of de-
clded value. without paying q cent for
the privilege; and Congress gave him all
he wanted. So he can run from Phila-
delphia into Washington, asking no odds
OF the Baltimore and Ohio or of it's
Washington branch. We now hear that
Mr. Garrett has countered this rap by
getting through the late New jersey Lee
gislature charter for short, apparent
ly insignificant road, whereby, through
connections already bargained for, the
Baltimore and Ohio may run its trains
right into Jersey City in utter indepen-
dence of the Pennsylvania Central and
its henchman, the Camden and Amboy.
More succinctly, each of the two rail
road kings has secured clear track from
the Hudson to the Potomac, and will
soon be running through trains from the
commercial to the political metropolis in
unembarrassed competition with his
great rival Most heartily do we con.
gratulate the public on these facts"

That was most swashing blow from
the English quarterstaff when it was re-
Piled to the "case" OF our misadminis-
tration that the Americans sought to
make the British pay the consequential
damages resulting from "the lack of skill
and enterprise in their generals" Be it
remembered that the man under whose
auspices the case was gotten up was that
same general thus oomplim ented. The
'blarsted Britisher" is evidently unwil.
ling to pay the expenses OF the campaign
OF Grant with 100000 men against Lee
with 10000. He can't see how the
escape OF the Alabama took away the
brains OF our Second Washington, if
he ever had any.
