CROPS IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The wheat Crop ODe-NInth Below the
Average of Ten Preceding Years
United states Will be Severely Taxed
10 Make the neHcit GOOD In Western
Europe.
LONDON, September | james Baird,
In his annual to the Times on harvest
prospects, says the extent of which Is
greater by nearly 100000 acres than
last year, but 10000 or one'ninth be-
low the average of the ten preceding
years.
On a careful analysis Of replies from
farmers in various parts of the country,
| find that in twelve of the principal
wheat counties, which represented
half OF the wheat growth of the king
dom, three fourths of the returns show
that the crop Is below the average,
while one-fourth give an average crop.
For the remainder of the country the
deficiencies is somewhat less in pro-
portion. The returns show a very gen.
eral deficiency. They are below the
average, but not greatly below 1t. The
general yield Is better than that OF
1863, 1867 or 1875, the three worst crops
in thirtySfour years, but fear there
will be equal even to the defects OF
last year, and Notwithstanding the in
creased acreage we shall not have
more than between 100000 aud 10,
DOC, 900 in quarters OF the home crop.
The reduction of consumption cons
tingent on the enhanced prices may
reduce the years needs to 2O,5OO,OOO
quarters of the condition of strict econ'
omy in consumption and an early mar
vest next year The foreign supply
we should in these circumstances re-
quire might be limited ii 100000 quar-
tiers. This takes a most favorable view
of our position, for north of the Trent
most OF the crop Is still uDharvested
and IL subject to the risk OF late sea-
son and very unsettled weather.
five were the only country that re-
CURED help, and we could rely on the
continuance OF the large scale OF for
eign imports which has marked the
last four years, there would be little
cause for apprehension, but with the
exception OF some parts OF spain all
western Europe is deficient, aud the
ports OF the Black Sea are closed, WINE
a renewal e. the famine in India can
hardly admit OF any increase OF the
large supply we have received from
that quarter during the present year.
We must therefore, look to America
for a considerable increase, even on
her great exports OF the last four years,
and II the war in Turkey continues,
the vast resources Of the United States
and Canada will indeed be severely
taxed to make good the wants Of this
country and western Europe.
The small home crop Of 1870, sup
pllnented by the largest import we
have ever yet received, afforded
five and a half bhshels per head. The
deficient crops oflS7o, with an import
exceeding twelve million quarters,
has afforded very little over five bush
els. II the Black Sea ports continue
closed for the coming harvest year, We
may have to restrict consumption tC
considerably less than five bushels

promise little aid, barley being de

Cos, of an Evening Party in EnEinnd

According to society journal OF
London, the exact cost OF a first-class
evening party in the fashionable end
of the metropolis, where the hostess
was Of high rank and some four hun
dred guest attended, was nearly $1,000.
At concert in one Of the party-giying
houses, at which Albani, Thalberg,
Cspoul and five other high vocalists
"assisted'' and were paid, there were
two hundred aud fifty guests and the
cost was 5000. A ball at one Of the
great houses, with six hundred guests
present, cost $500, and like enter
taiDment to three hundred and fifty
guests, in one Of the best Of the ordl-
nary houses, cost $3.50. In London
champagne and the better class Ger
man wines are fifty per cent. cheaper
than IN America, which makes great
difference.

people of much less respectable position.
When l say respectable, l use the WORD
in its conventional sense; not at oil
meaning to imply that think person who goes to
medium worthy of respect because he goes.
SHADES success was due largely, as Mr. Mnskelyne,
much cleyerer and ineomparaby more honest conurer
says, to his impudonce in putting high price on
bis tricks Nor the credit of impudence be de-
MED to Lawrence. The Judge, III passing SEN
tence, told him the jury None their duty in con-
vicing him. that he was fraudulent impostor"
who practiccd upon people by such impudent end
ridiculous prctenscs and such palpabe and prcPos
ferrous decisions as ought not to deceive any person
of fair understanding. To which Lawrence re-
sponded: My lord, | think you feel that am limo
cent l am nearly certain of it," Possibly some of
the least mad amoag the spirtualists may proht by
the rebukc addressed to them Many OF them are
of course, honest and we'll meaning, but Their al
teinpt to sustain such men as Lawrence ana SHADE
only proves them to be wanting in knowledge OF
the world as they are Astounding in crednlity.
As for the ritualists, they have once more tried
conclusions with the law, and once more got the
worst of it. Mr. Tooth, the incumbent of st. James,
Hatcham who has been setting his Pensioners by
the ears for weeks past, and whose church has Decn
made the scene of many dsgraceful riots, has been
ordered to PRISON by the Dean of Arches, ana 10
prison he will probably CO. His fellow rtualists
regard him as a martyr and large number OF them
took the trouble to hold meeting last night to say
so. That very militant churchman, Archdeacon
Denison, made speech which was as violent and
amusing as his speeches usually Idon't suppose
he is Of quite sound mind. The Arches Court, he
tells an appaung audience ought to be called Lord
Penzance's Court, and by that name Will go down
.toa the odium and cxecration of posterity. That
and the Privy Council the Archdeacon and his
friends arc resolved to Eight TO the DEATH" 1t is
quite certain their death will come before the Privy
Council is destroyed, and before England viii con-
sent that parcel of priests who are mad about MIL
