Washington, June 24.-7The June report
of the statistician of the Department of

its treatment of wheat statistics. 1t is based
upon reports from 903 counties, of which
l99 indicate an average condition; 270
higher than the average, and 434 low con-
dition, ranging from l00-the standard of
a medium prospect-down to 10, and few
cases down to anentire failure. ' hEa
Ihe State averages are calculated not
simply from the number of counties re-
ported, but from the comparative produc-
ton of the several counties. These 903 ro-
ports include very large proportion of
the wheat area of the country. The sum-
mary of the returns shows reduction of
two per cent. from that of 1871.

in each State is thus given: Maine, l0l;

ANECDOTE OF GENERAL LEE.-N0t
many anecdotes ale extant illustrative of
the humor and wit of the late General
Robert Il. Lee, for the sufficient good rea-
son that the general wore a gravity and Sc
verify of manner toward all but his most
intimate friends inconsistent with the sallies
which at odd times, however, he made in
the happiest style. At the close of the
first session of Washington college after
General Lee had become president of that
institution lin the chapel of which he is
now buriedO about sixteen young gentle
men, all from the south, were graduated
with full collegiate honors, and delivered
public addresses on commencement day.
The General. with the rest of the faculty,
occupied seats on the stand, and the youth
full orators, naturally ambitious of shining
as much as possible on such an occasion
and in the eyes of the Confederate chief
tain, sprinkled their speeches with an unu-
sually large quantity of rhetorical gems
and flowers; in particular alluding very
frequently and pointedly to the General in
lofty terms of eulogium, which, above all
things in the world, he disliked.
AS one after another emptied himself OF
his glittering harangue, the impatienco OF
General Lee obviously increased. Presently,
while the band was performing, he leaned
toward Colonel William Allen, one of the
professors, and inquired, in his peculiar
slow, modulated tone, "Colonel Allen, how
many more of them are to speak"'
"Only four more, general, - replied Colo
| mel Allen.
General Lee hitched his chair little
closer, and, with all solemnity, asked
/" Couldn't you arrange it, colonel, for al
foau' to speak at once 2"
The arrangement was not made, and thu
general had to listen till all four gentlemen
separately had their several full says.
