am pleased to state that in every variety,
excepting tobacco. the present crop pros
pcct i, decidedly the best for several years.
The farmers are huSilv engaged in harvest
ing their wheat, and Il better crop OF this
staple commodity has not been reaped for
years. Much Of the last years crop is still
on hand. and i being offered at greatly re-
durcd prices. Corn is looking Very we'll,
and i generally in fine state OF cultiva-
ton. Gardens. too. are looking fine. The
season seemed 10 have exactly suited all
kinds OF vegetables.
There has been the greatest scramble over
toharco-pIaEt> Imaginable. Our cntcrprls-
in@ growers Of the poisonous weed have
r,.ortcd to Il thousand Strate@emS to destroy
the flies and save the plants, but have sadly
failed in maiority OF instances. So there
cannot he but very little plantcd-not more,
PERHAPS. than the fourth OF an average crop.
The tobacco Of last year Is pretty generally
marketed. executing here and there Il crop
owned by men who are not compelled TO sell.
They are holding on, hoping on account Of
the present failure in plants to realize more
Tor il towards fall.
Money matters are much easier with the

How LIEUTENANT GRANT IS PRoyIpED
F0R.--Tn the Senate on Monday, while the
appropriations bill was under discussion,
Mr. Thurman said he knew Of an instance
where a lieutenant was assigned %, duty rs
Northumberland, aud received the pay of
the higher grade. He thought that was
wrong.
Mr.. Cameron said that Lieutenant Grant
was on the staff OF the Lieutenant-Ge General
with the rank OF Lieutenant-C Colonel. His
selection was compliment to the President
OF the United States by the Lieutenant Gen.
eral Of the army, and il he had not been BE-
lected for that place major or lieutenant
colonel would have been. Mr.. Cameron
eulogized the services of General Grant,
who, he declared, was more successful than
Napoleon or Wellington.
Mr.. Thurman said he had never said an
unkind word OK the President, and while
he respected him for his achievements he
must say it was not the proper way to re-
ward him for his services by selecting his
son for this position. 1t was not by select
ing member OF his family and promoting
him above the veterans of war that the
President should be hcnored.
No change in the bill was made on this
account.

VEGET1NSE IS THE GREAT FAMILY
MEDICINE AND IIEALTH-RESTORER
GENERAL DEBILITY.

Debility Is q term used to denote deficiency Of
blood The nu,ritivc constituents Of the blood are
in less than their regular proportion, while the wa
terry part is in excess. Debility Is Of frequent oc-
currcnce. 1t Is Incident to variety of diseases The
lower limbs are apt 10 be swollen. The patient Is
feeble, and cannot bear much cNertion. The circu-
lation IS Irregular hut almost always weak. Palpi-
tation of the heart Is avery common symptom. VII
client motion often throws the heart into the most
tumultu0us action. The vital functions arc Ian
guidly performed. The muscular strength Is dimin-
ishcd fatigue follows moderate or slight exercise
The breathing though quiet when at rest, becomes
hurried and even painfully agitatcd under exer-
tion as In running ascending heights. &c. The her
vous system Is often greatly disordcred. Vertigo,
dizziness, and feeling of faintncss arc very COM
mon. Violent and obstinate neuralgia pains i'll the
head, side, breast. other parts of the body. are
also frequent attendants upon the disease The Sc
crctions are sometimes diminished. In females the
mcnses are almost always either suspended or very
partially performed. The bile is scanty. and cos
tivcneSs. with unhealthy excavations from the bow
els and dyspcptic state OF the stomach, are cx-
tremcly common symptoms.

PosTAr-CARDs.-Ttsee seems not to lie. gene
rally known chat the post-office authorities
collect i've cents on the delivery OF every
postal-card passing through the mails which
contains on the printed side anything what
ever except the address. We assume that
this is not widely known; for we receive
almost daily one or more cards which are
charged with such sum, to be collected
OF us.
We have grave doubts IL such an exaction
is legal, but there is no redress unless we
refuse to pay and bring suit against the
postmaster for OBTAINING the card. We did
this. our readers win remember, when the
double-postage levy was made on letters
prepaid one full rate, and we obliged the
Department to rescind that order. But that
success was only obtained at considerable
cost: and the issue in the present case
would be more doubtful, as we must prove
positive damages from the detention before
there can be any recovery, and few Of these
miSSiveS are OF the character to furnish any
such proof.
The ret-tape twist under which the eXac-
tidn is defended may he thus described:
The law authorized the postal-card to be
used rs a means Of postal intercourse g un-
der rules and regulations to be prescribed
by the Postmaster-Gcneral." The latter
then forbids the transmission OF the card
except at letter postage, il it contains any
thing hut the address on the face. The law
provides that any matter not paid one full
rate, il "by inadvcrtence it reaches its
destination without such prepayment"
shall be charged double the proper rate, any
other prepayments to be deducted.
1t is assumed. therefore, that Il postal-card
having any other memorandum but the adj
dress on the printed side must 90 at letter
postage; as it is only paid one cent it is not
I prepaid one full rate; that makes the post
age when by inadrertence n it reaches its
dcstina;ion) six cents, leaving five cents to
/ bc deducted.
We hope that this will be generally pub
liShcd. that the people may take notice o!
the regulstion.--N eoo York Journal Of Com
