Variety of EooJ

The Scientific American is of the opin-
ion that we require variety in our food
1t says experience has proved that, for
some reason unknown to science, variety
is essential to health after reaching the
age when we are free 20 choose our food.
The perpetual recurrence of the same
edibles, even through their number be
considerable, becomes in all periods of life
except infancy, not only wearisome, but
positively injurious. Salt pork, salt fish
and potatoes, with pies, poor bread and
japan tea, are the staples of food of
thousands offamilies during our long win
tiers. 1t should be understood how need

and should be unsparingly used. The
edible roots, as turnips, carrots. onions
and beets, and cabbages are as well worth
preserving as the omnipresent potato.
All these vegetables need thorough boil
ing, and more then they generally get.

THE CROPS.

The July agricultural report repre-
sents improvement in winter wheat, but
a decline in the prospects of spring wheat,
on account of unreasonable weather in
some quarters, and insect enemies in
others. The average In CORE is increased
in West Virginia and Minnesota, and de-
creased in all other states except Florida
and Arkansas, where it remains the same
as last year. Corn planting was every
where retarded by the weather, and in
many cases corn has been several times
replanted. The unusual complaint of de-
fective seed is made in all parts Of the
country. The condition of cotton has
been previously given. The prospective
yield of oats declined during June in New
Ensl land, the Middle and Northwestern
States, except in Wisconsin 1t was en-
HANGED in all of the Gulf States except
Mississippi, and winter rye improved in
Rhode Island. Connecticut, New Jersey,

ry in Georgia declined in all other
states. Spring rye was below its average
in all states but 5, the minimum, 10, be-
ing in California, and the maximum, 10,
in Nebraska, winter barley generally de-
clined in the south and west where
heavy rains prevailed. The grass crops
generally improved in New England and
Middle States. However, they were
greatly shortened by drouth. The late
winter told disastrously upon the fruit
crop. The injury was more extensive to
apple trees than was apparent at the last
report. The condition of grapes ranged
from 81 in California to I27 in Nebraska,
100 representing the average. Potatoes
remain the same as last year, or increas-
ed in % states and decreased in all Others
The Colorado beetle has extended its
ravages eastward. being reported for the
first time in several counties of New York.

ties how to destroy it effectually The

found in Georgia, and the minimum, T6,
in Delaware.

HOW TO KEEP HONEY COMBS.

A writer In the American Bee Journal
for several years ha practised the follow
ing method ofpreserving old combs from
the depredations of the moth when it is
not convenient to melt them up at once.
Lay them in the sun until they become
softened, then roll them up and press
them with the hand into hard, round
balls. In this condition they may be
kept without loss or danger for years. A
wholesale honey dealer says honey will
not candy if a teaspoonful of cream tar
tar dissolved in water be mixed with a
gallon of honey when scalding hot. Care
must be taken not to scorch the honey.

EXECUTIVE INTERFERENCE.
SENATOR MoRroN's VIEWS IN REGARD TO

SENATOR MORTON's VIEWS IN REGARD TO THE
PRESIDENTS FUTURE COURSE.
Senator Morton is still in town, watching the
financial situation with great interest. ATRIBUNE
reporter called upon him last evening at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, to inquire whether he had received
any intimation of further action by the President.
The Senator said that he was not authorized to
speak for the President or TO say that he was pre-
pared to do more than he had done. He had
thought when he left town on Sunday night,
that the remedy adopted would prove sufficient. IL
he should become convinced that 1t was
not enough, and that the panic was increasing the
Senator thought he would do whatever he could.
within the law to restore confidence. Senator Rev
erdy johnson was of the opinion that the President
was not authorized to take the money from the
Treasury and deposit it in the National banks there
were also doubts about the legality of purchasing
bonds not yet due 1t was therefore difficult to de-
wise way of relieving Wall Street with money from
the Treasury. The President would do all that he
could but was very DESTROYS of keeping within the
letter of the law
Reporter-What effect do you think the excite
eut of to-day and particularly the failure of Henry
Clews & Co.. will have on Gen. Grant,
Senator MOrton-rl failure of Henry Clews will
hit him the hardest of anything. Poor Henry! Tn
very sorry for him.
Reporter-I see that the President has returned to
Long Branch to-day. Do you expect him to come
over tomorrow and look after matters for himself
Senator Morton-No, doubt If he will come. As
soon as he gets here he is at surrounded by n
crowd of self-constituted advisers, and | think he
can decide what to do as well away as here.
Senator Morton expressed the earnest hope that
the outlook might not be so discouragng as was
thought. and that things would open much better in
the morning than they had closed in the afternoon.

The result of the suspension of house which had
speoulated so largely and been otherwise prominent
could not but be depressing. The excitement was
renewed and increased by this disaster and at once
there were general croakngs heard Saturday
and Sunday. Senseless confusion, wild speculation
absurd proposals, ominous propheces-these swelled
the camOr raised by mob of small brokers and
their clerks congregated at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
last evening. The prospects for this morning are
not bright, but thev do not seem as gloomy
as the croakers tried to make them APP
pear. 1t cannot be said that the actual
financial situation in New-York warrants this depres
sion. After the failure of Clews Co. was announced
the city was flooded with a great many rumors,
involving the credit of such houses as George OPP

Others But these we're no sooner started than they
were denied, and finally the truth being tracked
down. resolved itself into the single fact that Henry

HUGH McCULLOCH HOPEFUL.

THE PANIC CAN BE STAYED If THE PUBLIC WILL
TAKE COURAGE AND NOT LOSE FAITH.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury, Hugh McCulloch, a
member of the London firm of Jay Cooke, McCu-
loch g. Co.. was questioned, yesterday, by reporter
of The TRIBUNE relative TO the report that the
fiscal agency of the Navy Department in Europe
had been removed from the house of which he was
a member. He replied that there was no truth in
the rumor. In response to the inquiry whether or
not the London house was much affected by the
panic here, he said that the advces were of
the most cheerful character. When he left
London there was no suspicion that a
financial revulsion was imminent here. There
seemed TO be more of disposition TO practice econ
omy on tue part of Americans. Crops are abundant,
there is demand for them abroad at good prices.
and trade is prosperous Under these circumstances
there was no ground whatever for expecting dis
turbanee in financial matters. Had he supposed
that there was any likelihood of such contingency
he would have remained in London TO attend TO the
business of the house there. He received his first
intimation of any disturbance when the steamer
reached Quarantine on Monday He had scarcely
recovered from the stunning effect Of the unex-
pected news.
He was asked whether he thought the present
panic would become widespread and seriously affect
the mercantile as well az the financial community.
Mr.. McCulloch replied that he could zee no reason

IMPORTANT THEORY OF THE PANIC.

PRIVATE BANKING HOUSES AT FAULT.
TRIBUNE reporter called last evening upOn q
gentleman at the head of one of the largest, most
conservative and strongest financial institu-
lions in the country for the purpose of eleiting
his views upon the financial situation. At first he
deprecated speaking upon this topic. bnt upon
being pressed, and STIMULATING that his name
should not be used, stated that the present situation
arose out Of this fact that the private banking
houses have been allowing interest upon deposits
liable to be checked for at sight, and sure TO be
checked just at the time when il is most incon-
venient to pay In order to raise money for this in
terest, they have been compelled to loan their
money on stocks, and just at this time, with the
Stock Exchange closed, they cannot realize upon
them and don't respond to these drafts.

"The result is that if they cannot
pay their correspondents in the country. the
effect spreads through the interior; il
becomes difficult for them (the corros?ondentsl to
obtain money and if they cannot ge, money, the
farmers do not obtain any, and they Canno: pay the
