The CrOp Prospects.

The monthly report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture for July, just cut, is, in the main,
very encouraging exhibit Of the crop prospects
of the country. There is an increase in the corn
area of :. 900, 900 acres, the percentage of in
crease being the largest in the south. The con-
ditiOn Of corn is generally good in the west, bat
elsewhere variable. The only states reporting
average condition, or above, are Massachusetts,
of the eastern states, Pennsylvania OF the mid
die states, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Texas Of the southern states, and
the western states, except Minnesota, reporting
ninety-four, and California and Oregon. In
eleven states the condition of the crop is above
the average. The average condition OF winter
wheat isreported at 1O4. Spring wheat shows an
average of 96. The cotton planters report an i'm
provement in the condition of the plant in every
state The percentages OF average condition
are generally considerably higher than in June.
The average condition of the oats crop is 80, the
maximum being, in Nebraska, 113, aud the min
mum, in Kentucky, "a. Winter rye Is full av-
ersge, or above, in most of the states, and very
nearly average in several others. Barley and
potatoes promise well. Gloomy reports Of the
tobacco crop are received. The severe drought
prevailing in sections specially devoted to to-
bacco culture, together with the destruction of
plants By insects, has reduced the acreage in
this crop TO less than half of that of 1873. The
only tobacco state showing an increased acre
age IL Maryland. 100. The heaviest reduction
Is found in Kentucky, which returns an acreage
Of but 26 per cent. of the previous year. IL
seems sufficiently clear that in the most hope
full aspects Of the case the aggregate yield will
be much less than half of last years, even if the
conditions of growth should be most favorable
for the remainder OF the season. The states
cultivatlng sugar cane report an increased av-
ersge Of from one to ten per cent. A few of
the states have increased the average of sorg-
hum.

The question recently put to a lever OF the
weed by an anti-tobacco crus sder. whether q
man would like to smoke on his death bed, has
been practically answered at NeEburyport,
Masf. The Herald OF that place says:
"a man died In this vicinity not q mouth ago
with a cigar in his mouth, the physician ac-
cediBg 10 bis request that he might smoke, and
expressing the opinion thatit soothed his suffer-
fpgs"

A defeat 10 our troops serving in western
Texas Is reported from Galveston. 1t has here
tofore been customary 10 send small squads Of
white troops against large bands OF Indians, the
commander acting on the principle that one
soldier Was equal to twenty or more redskins
This practice may have 70 be abandoned. The
savAges have not been warning for years with
out learning something OF military tactics, and,
besides, they are continually receiving acces-
sions Of improved firearms from unprincipled
traders and other sources, which make them
more formidable enemies than when they de.
psEded upon the sSTow and tom ahawk alone.

A commission of the British Parliament has
been in session for some time for the purpose
or irquiTing Into the practical workings of the
adulteration act, which makes the sale of any
adulterated article as pure punishable by Inc
on proof of the adulteration. IL also provides
that all mixed articles, such as cocoa, mustard,
&c, should be duly labelled by the msnufac-
turer setting forth the fact Of a mixture on
each package. The traders fought this act for
some time, but without avail and as a number
Of coDvIctiors have occurred the effect has been
sanitary 1t lie stated that whenever a seizure
OF adulterated articles occurs, the owners have
the privilege of shipping the same to the United
States The English investigation shows that
tea u largely sdulterated with iron filings and
re-dried tea leaves. 1t is also colored or faced,
by placing low grades of ordinary tea in cylin-
ders under steam, with a certain quanti-
ty OF carbonate of magnesis, Dutch pink,
and PTussian blue. Most of this "fscing"
IL said to be done by English dealers
One OF the analysts Of the commission said in
reference to wines that sherry is usually adul-
terated with sulphuric ether; that potato spirit
IL largely added, and that its effect is most in
furious. Wine and spirits contained large
quantities ef fol oil, French trescle OF brandy,
which lie often nothing more than beetroot spi-
Tit, colored and favored so as to puzzle a chem
list to discover cheat. AS yet beer Is compare
lively pure there. Since the passage of the
adulteration act the quality of London milk has
greatly improved, probably because of the fact
that when milkmsn is convicted his name ia
publicly advertised. It is pity that we cannot
have law similar TO the English act. The
whole system OF adulterstion is a gigantic
swindle on consumers, but this is the least SCI
rious part OF the matter. Could the public but
know the per cent. of mortality actually attrib-
utable to these sdulterstions there would be no
time lost in passing the necessary enactments.
