"STEwART's PALACE The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Suo, says :
A powell aud interesting case was partially
heard 10 the Circuit Court to-day, the facts of
which are as follows: Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, resides in what is called Stewart 5
Palace, a noble MANSION near the celebrated
z stree, circle, and where it was proved during
the recent investigation into District affairs
there was so much overmeasurement In im-
prcvcments. Nearly two squares south Of him
Mr.. Hopkins has a brick yard at the corner Of
Twentieth, New Hampshire avenue, and 2
street, and for twenty five years two kns have
been continually used. The smoke from the
same was Objectionable to those who reside in
THE palace and Mr.. Hopkins was asked to
burn coal. He did this to oblige the Senator
and Others but in few weeks there We're more
complaints about the smoke which issued from
the kilns when they were starting the fires
Senator Stewart then began proceedings against
him, aud the issue whether the brick yard can
be removed is being tried before jury. There
are other reasons why certain real estate own
ers want to get rid OF the kilns. They claim
that it prevents property from rising 10 value.
Notwithstanding the millions that have been
expended 10 improving and identifying that
particular section of the city, the most of " hich
belongs to the kilbourn real estate POOL of
which so much has Eeen heard Of late.

A letter from Rappahanpock county says:
Harvest has commenced with US generally
and now as the time has passed in which the
wheat is attacked by its many enemies, and has
entirely escaped, We can confidently say what
kind of crop we have. 1t is by far the best
crop we nave had since before the war-since
1861 at all events. 1t has filled we'll, stands
thick, and has ripened finely. All of our farm
ers seem pleased aud encouraged and new
impetus will be given to the growing of wheat,
a crop that for so many years has hardly paid
for the actual cost of tillage. Our best inform
ed farmers agree we will raise 100000 bushels
more this year iu this county than 10 any year
since 1861. The corn crop promises well. "

The Utah bill passed Congress with some
important amendments Among other things
the section making the belief or practice OF
polygamy good cause OF principal challenge to
Jurors iu the trial OF pres ,cutions for adultery,
bigapy, or polygamy, was struck out. It is AS
serted that this will render the bill almost nu-
gaory for the Suppression of poIygamy, while
it still makes provision for an amount OF court
business the fees of which are said to be the
controlling motive of the strong lobby which
has been pushing the bill.
