European Crop Prospects.

The Mark Lane Express, in its week
ly rview OF the corn trade, says: The
cereal crop just reaching maturity has
been saved by fine weather. We may
yet have a moderate harvest in good or
der. The upward movement has
stopped. and prices have relapsed, part
ly in consequences of foreign arrivals,
which are unusually free, but current
rates scarcely reach the average, and
are still below those of last year. The
harvest in France is progressing rapid
~, but general reports indicate less
than fair average yield, although in
Paris and Marseilles prices have fallen
two shillings. Belgian and German
markets show similar change. Official
accounts of crops in Austria and Hun
gary show there is more likelihood of q
a deficiency than of surplus.

John MOrrissey's Nerye-The Game of
Boston.

Saratoga Correspondence New York Graphic
Among the sporting men of note who
annually visit Saratoga, is Whaley, of
Cincinnati, Kentuckian. Whaley
used to keep the leading club-houses at
New Orleans and at Cincinnati. He is
rich, known generally to public men, and
plays cards only at the hotels or conviv-
tally. He told me the gambling quail
ty of Moryissey as follows:
!; "He excels at the games of whist,
Boston, gush. He is tbs best gush-
player I ever knew, and among the
best at Boston. He also plays poker
well. His power to game is the same
as in the prize-ring, confidence, judg-
ment, and courage to bet. He has been
playing cards all his life from boyhood,
and knows that volume of ffty-two
pages better than all the books in the
world. Heplayed celebrated game with
Ben Wood and Jimmy O'Brien which
lost him $4,000, and never WINGED"
I asked what Boston was. Whalev
said it was an old game, where all the
cards were dealt and trump turned
from another pack, four persons play
ing. Then the players, beginning at
the dealers left, bid by offers to take SO
many tricks, the person with trump
color in excess having the priority. If
the trump-maker loses, he must pay
money according to his offer to each of
the others in such high ratio that the
game is desperate. Price McGrath is
said to be an unequaled Boston player.
A private citizen whom Z know is alleged
to make $4,000 a year at Boston,
haunting the society Of rich amateur
ganesters. Only.a few persons know
what. he is doing, as all his surroundings
are respectable, and his appearance and
opinions those of a square, orthodox
deacon and banker. Jimmy O'Brien,
ex-Sheriff of New York, told me yester-
day: "You have no idea of how society
is honeycombed with these respectable
parasites. They are well-dressed, often
highly bred, highly married loafers,
who are entertaining ladies' men, and
rather patronize their victims. They are
capable OF acts at cards which profess
sional gambler would be ashamed of. y

How a Young Mans Money Goes.

A young man in this city, whom we
have known since his early childhood,
told us yesterday that he had taken
pains to keep quite a correct account
of his unnecessary expenses from the
4th of July. 1874, to the 4th OF July,
1875. The first item that appeared on
the list was cigars. During the day he
said that he smoked not less than eight
cigars each day, which amounted to
1920, and that the cost of the same was
eight cents each on an average, which
amounted to 1888. 60, and that the
length of the same, if laid out in a
straight line would reach 1900 feet,
and that the smoke in exhausting the
weed would fill several store-houses;
further that the liquor drank would
amount to about ninety-one gallons In
a year-e1ough to drown a street COM
missioner or member of the Common
council. The amount Of tobacco he
used would fill q common beef-barrel
and sickens an entire township. The
amount of the unnecessary expenditure
would have fed twenty-five families for
the entire year. Wayne Gazette.

An Algerian Tragedy.

A tragic event occurred lately in a
divorce court in Constantine, in Algeria
The wife of Bel-Kassem appeared be-
fore the Cadi and demanded q divorce
from her husband on the ground that he
had ill-treated her. In spite Of the
strenuous opposition of the respondent,
the Cadi gave Judgment in favor of the
lady, who, triumphantly pronouncing
the orthodox formula 6 repudiate
thee" bounced out Of the court. The
custom Of the country wills that a de-
feated sutton kiss the Judge upon the
shoulder to show that he acknowledges
the justice of his sentence. In accord
ance with this usage Bel Kassem, in APP
parent submission, moved towsrd the
Cadi. But as he drew near him his
manner suddenly changed. Dashiag
aside his burnous, he sprang upon the
unfortunate Judge and drove his knife
into his breast. The murderer then
threw down his weapon and surrender
ed himself to the gendarmes, saying
quietly {" I have killed the Cadi be-
cause, according to the Koran, aJudge
who gives an unjust sentence deserves
to be put to DEATH"

An Incident Of the Late Unpleasant-
. ness.

During the early part of the late war,
in the year 1861, shortly after our army
moved from Washington out beyond
Arlington, Gen. Levi S. Chatfeld Of
New York went over to visit some Ohio
regiments, when the following incident
of the movement was related to him:
AS they went on their way over, some of
the soldiers stepped out of the ranks and
g confscated" couple Of geese, and at
the suggestion of an ingenious fellow
and natural hummer, " one of the
drummers unheaded his instrument and
put the captured birds in. Shortly af-
terward the Colonel came along, and
noticing that the boy shirked his usual
drum whacks, rode up to him and said:
* Why don't you beat that drum? y
6 Colonel" said the startled musician,
g I want to speak to YOU The Colon
ell drew still closer to him, and bending
down his head, said, Well what have
YOU to say9" The drummer whispered,
& Colonel, I've get couple of geese in
here" "The Colonel Strengthened up
and gravely said, "Wel. if you're
sick and can't play, you needn't" and
then rode on. It is needless to add
that the Colonel had roasted goose that
night.

From the Liverpool Mercury, July II.
A private letter received in Sheffield
Yesterday from one of the crew OF the
IRON ship Glance, which arrived In the
Thames from Adelaide on Thursday,
brings intelligence of a terrible event.
which occurred on the 9th ult. On
that day the Glance passed the Jessie
Osborne, outward bound, and was
hailed by the captain, who reported
that one OF his crew had gone mad, and
had for five days stationed himself aloft,
and that nothing could induce him to
return to the deck. 1t was further
stated that the man had armed himself
with lsrge chisel, with which he was
emitting the ropes; that the boatswaln
had endeavered to bring him down,
hut that the maniac had thrown block
at him. which struck him on the head,
and that he had fallen on the deck,
hreakinp an arm and leg. As mat
ter of safety to his vessel and his crew,
tho aantain considered it was necessary
to shoot the man, and this, after some
consultation. was decided upon. The
crew and the officer of the Glance were
requested to be present as witnesses,
and in their presence the unfortunate
man was shot with revolver. In con-
sequence of the way in which he had
moved about the rigging, three shots
had to be fred before he was fatally
struck. The poor fellow died soon al
tarward.

Despite Lumley's hopefulness, luck
never turned. It was the same feverish
unrest and tedious waiting, the sense of
degradation by day, and at night the
brilliantly lighted granddaughter, the
excitement. the fascination. trembling
betwixt hope and uncertainty, the
frequent potations to steady his shaken
nerves, and, as the night wore on, un-
certainty deepening into failure and
disappointment: and each morning
Lumley's Pardner led him slowly, and

this thought in view, a few figures may
not be unfruitful. A discussionof the WI

Of the three. Its cost has been, by re.
port of Board of 1871 (page 94) 1000:
Since then the State has given it $1,000
in 1871; ST, 1882 in 1872, and nice slice
in 1875; making its full cost $4,000,
exclusive of annual appropriations for
running expenses. The annual interest
upon $l46,0 at ten per cent, added to
$4,000 annual appropriation, amounts
to $26. 800 annual cost of the school. Its
first class was graduated in 1866, and
during the nine years ending Jan. LIST,
1875, it has graduated 200 pupils. or, on
