THE CROPS.
Weather Generally FavOFabIe-The Av-

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 20.-The
following is a synopsis of the summaries
to be published by the National Crop
Reporter. The weather in the Missis-
sippi, Missouri and Ohio valleys, during
the past week, has been generally very
favorable to the growing grain. The
average rainfall has been one inch and
ffty-nine One-hundredths, fairly dis
tributed over the country. The returns

aging seven and four-tenths per cent,
equal to seven hundred and ninety-six
thousand pounds. Reports relative to
the condition of swine in the same States
indicate for June lst an increase since
April 1st of seven and six-tenths per
cent. The average condition on June
lst was eleven and One-half per cent. be-

OUR SCHOOLS.
Public Examination Of fIse students AZ
the ChristiRn BrotIiers' College.

The annual public examination Of the
students of this college took place during
the past week. All the students were
examined, beginning with the prepara-
tory classes. The boys were closely
questioned on every branch which they
had studied throughout the year, and
included reading, spelling, arithmetic,
sacred and profane history, English
grammar ard analysis, English litera-
ture and composition, algebra, geOme-
try, trigonOmetry (plain and spherica),
comic sections, Greek and Latin gram
mar, NepOs, Virgil, Homer, Horace,
Livy, Tacitus and Saliust. The exam
ination was very creditable, students
answering with a readiness that indi-
Gated close study and thorough knowl-
edge OF the branch in question. Several
Of the students gave evidence of eonsid-
cradle embarrassment causea by tim
idity natural to them. No means will
cause these bashful young students to
overcome this timidity sooner than in
being obliged to appear in public
at examinations and the like.
Among the many advantages to be
found in public examinations is this very
important one. 1t stimulates the ambi-
ton of the students all the year round,
and compels them to study hard and
we'll in order to prepare for the examis
nation, and whatever they learn so thor
ougbly they will never forget. The stu
dents appeared very neat, and their de-
pertinent indicates that they correspond
well with the careful training given
them by the Brothers. Many Of the
students declaimed remarkably well,
and even among the very youngest ones.
The college has had q large number of
students during the past session, and it
seems to grow in favor constantly with
its patrons and the public day after day.
The closing exercises will take place at
the Memphis Theater on next Tuesday,
the twenty-third instant. One of our
prominent citizens, who mOdestly de-
clines having his name made known,
has donated a gold medal to the college,
TO be awarded for the best essay. This
medal will be awarded on next Tuesday
by Hon. T. w. Brown, who will deliver
an address on the occasion. X. X.

The magnitude Of sheets containing
tax-lists of the State, county and city,
as published by two Of our cotempora-
ries, may lead to legislation on this sub
iect. and the whole system Of printing
those lists may be discontinued. The
cost to the people Of this printing now
being done viii be prObzbly eight thou
sand dollars, and the question may arise,
lsVVho is benefited, snd at whose cost y
The man who can't pay does not care to
see his property heralded abrosd in the
newspapers, and the man who can pay
does hot care to be taxed for the piess-
ure of seeing his neighbOr's estate ad-
vertised for cOnfscstion. Each man
knows whether he owes taxes OF not,
without the intervention Of the news
psper; and since, in other cities, these
tax-lists are sold u the newspapers, the
tax-coIleetors sharing in the profits Of
this useless printing, the VII ole system
will probably be knocked in the head
by the next legislature. Two eandi-
dates for the general assembly hsve al

IT Is a shrewd report from one Of the
wsl d representatives in the city legisla-
ture which makes it appear that the
bondh olders Of the city are very poor
and are in tears over Mayor Leagues
noliev. The report is TOO "thin" snd the
dodge can hardly win. In discussing
questions Of finance it is needless to re-
sort to acts Of demsg gogleism. Asst the
credit Of the city it has none, aud can
nave none til the policy Of Mr.. League
IS adopted and the cost Of government
eoDformed TO the wealth and popula-
ton OF Memphis. Tse city's paper can
never be good while the whole cost OF
supporting The city falls on so very few
compared with the many who must
hold offices CT vote for OfiieeholdeTs,
Now that the city is poorer by half than
in 1867, our expenses Of government
must needs be reduced One-halL II the
people would have this end brought
about, let them cooperate with and Sus-

SOUTH AMERICA.

New YORK, June GA letter from
Rio Janerio states that Don Antonio Da
Costa, bishop of Fava, arrived there
May 18th, and was i'm mrediately formally
arrested upon a warrant of the supreme
tribunal Of justice snd taken to the
arsenal of the marines 90 an apartment
previously occupied under the same cir
cumstance by the bishop of Olinda.
A number of ultramGrine gentlemen and
the clergy got up a little scene by cast
ing themselves on their knees in the
dust to kiss his hand. His arrival as a
prisoner has created very trifiing inter-
est and was hardly noticed outside of
these circles. The goTsrnment has not
yet made any statement in reference to
IFS future course in the ecclesiastical
question. 1t has, however, taken the
registration of births, marriages and
deaths from the priests and handed it
over to justices of tks peace, who are
elective judges. This measure will be
a serious blow to clerical emoluments
and influence, but VIII permit complete
ness in the records.
