A Small speck Of War.

W. have a dispatch from New York
la, NIGHT intimatipg that orders had been
raceived at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Of
, threatening character towards Spain.
Va can hardly regard this news as other
,bsD sensational and should not place any
,plIauce upon IT but for the belligerent
,orc Of the two leading anti.war papers
in New York, the Tribune and E'enfng
P,N. They both talk about full and com.
nle,o rcparstion from Spain for theinsult
n o,,r government in the summary execu-
linn Of the crew Of the Virginius. The
E,,t speaks Of the execution as one that
"mskes the blood run cold" and the 7rs'
buns warns the government against "iall'
Iup into a feeble policy in the Virginsus
matter"
The Herald Is of course for something
decisive, and expresses itself thus:
"Tbe attempt at this hour TO excite
svmnathy for the government at Madrid,
Z the face Of all the insults and injuries
we have borne from Spain on account Of
CSba for five years past, Is simple pol.
,,oonery. We should defend our rights,
AZ England enforccs hers, at the mouth Of
the cannon, and our fret act should be to
extend belllgerent rights to the Cubans
for The safety and protection OF our own
citizens" ls

The Growing Crops,

The chances are that the crops of this
year will be below the average. In the
South n larger area of cotton was planted
than usual, but the extraordinary rains
have prevented the cultivation of much of
the crop. In the Northern Atlantic States
the severe drought is yet unbroken, save
by occasional local showers such as passed
over part of Maryland on Sunday and
Tuesday. The need for rain is felt in
New England, Western New York, Penn
sylvania, New jersey, Maryland and Della
ware. In this now arid belt the corn is
generally of sickly yellow, with leaves
curling; potatoes are stunted; oats small;
wheat fair, but the crop promises moderate;
pasture short, and the rich dairy farms of
New York are barely able to keep up the
milk. The Western States will, however,
make up for the deficiency in the East.
Corn and wheat are fourishing, with but
little danger of damage, From Illinois,
far out into the Territories, the prospects
are all favorable
A correspondent of the n. Y. World
says that the wheat crop in that State will
be very short. John johnson, one of the
best known farmers in New York State,
says to the same paper that in going south
on the Lake road eighteen miles he saw
no wheat-field free from bare spots, and
the clover was naught. He also says that
for sixty miles west of Geneva, wheat will
yield little more than the seed on clay
land, and many farmers have such short
pasture they are sorry they sold their corn
fodder in the winter.

Something about Strawberries.

The New York World says Every
housekeeper knows that the strawberries
this season have been less plentiful than
usual This has been attributed to the
long drought just as the fruit was APP
preaching its period of greatest supply.
The New jersey and New York farmers
suffered most, and their berries have not
only been scarce in quantity but small in
size and Of inferior flavor, most Of the
berries having been without the sweetness
for which they are usually valued One
berry-the Hite seeding new variety,
produced in limited quantity, stood the
drought well and attained full size with
good flavor; but whether the fine speci-
mems shown on the market were the re-
suit of superior cultivation and heavy ma
nuring, remains for future experience to
decide. The strawberry season commenc-
es about the LIST of May and closes about
the end of June this year there is sort
of after-crop in consequence of the rains
which have brought out the backward
berries, Maryland and Delaware have
furnished the best quality of berry this
season. The Southern supply has been
quite moderate in quantity, while the
quality has been decidedly inferior, owing
to the damp and foggy weather, which has
affected their marketable condition ON ar
rival. The shipping points for the South
ern supply are Norfolk and Baltimore,
whence steamers arrive twice week, with
an average cargo of about 700 crates.
The largest arrival by one steamer this
season has been 100 crates, each crate
averaging forty quarts.
