The President visited New York
this week as the guest ofthe Cham
Der OF Commerce, who dined him,
His reception was signifcant, and
Wa, in and Of itself, the highest en-
dotssmsnt that he could have. On
Tuesday he unveiled q statue Of
a Fits Green Halleck, in Central
Park, and Notwithstanding the at
traction of the Carnival an ina
mense throng vent thither to pay
theirirespects to him. On Wednes-
day he received the citizens at the
City Hall, and for four mortal hours
he was kept shaking hands with the
beat citizens who stood patiently in
the sun, waiting for their turn, And,
understand, IL was not the mere GU
riosity to see a President, that kept
merchants and lawyers in long cue
for hsurs, uHder broiling sun. II
was to do homer to this particular
PresidcntLthe President who has
shoxp the nerve to grapple with the
oerruptisns that we're undermining
the Government. 1t was to endorse
his policy, aud his Administration
lit Was what he has .deno that at
tracted the threngs that flocked to
receive him, and that greeted him
With manifestations Of respect wher-
ever he went. 1t was an honest
complement paid to an honest man.
The peach supply for the United
States is grown largely in Delewars
and Maryland. The crop this year,
will be immense, tho total yield be-
ing estimated at 5000, 900 bask OTIS,
which is peek for every man, WON
m and chilI in the United States.
There seems to be an epidemic of
suicides with the approach Of hot
weather. One young man came
down from Orange county to get
work, but was disappointed. He
had watch which he intended to
pawn to live on till he. could get
something to do, but it was stolen
from him tho night of the Carnival,
and he went to his room and shot
himself. The police recovered the
witch tive hours after. A woman
hung herself in Mac D0ugal, street,
bscauss,her husband ran away from
her; and . wealthy man named Ad-
ans, took poison, because there was
SO much worry in taking care of his
estate. A Amerchsntiwas found dead
in the basement Of his store on
Broadway, leaving & note stating
that his trade had loft HIM and he
saw no hopes Of . revival. A young
man cut his throat, because he could
not get an appointment i'm the Post
sfice. All these, With dozen 9TH
srs who stepped out without giving
. reason, in . week.! Is there any
thing In hoat that drives people to
the madness that must pracede sui,

The effect Of the war in Europe
upon New York is mixed. While
it does not materially improve bus
insss 1T present, it has had the eff
feet Of pntting up the price Of, ev-l
erything the, people live en-, and so
IL bears hard upon those who are |
doing nothing, and those working I
for low wages, The farmers who |
have grain are rejoiced, as well they !
may bs, At the advance ithas caused; |
but the poor .laborer, the unacrpaid |
clerk, and the half-starved seam
stress, don't like it so we'll, for while |
il has doubled the Cost of, their liy-
ing, it has not increased their wages.
The merchants hope TO profit by it, |
for they reason that fit puts up the
price Of produce, the farmers will /
net only buy more freely, bat they
will pay for what they have already. I
bought, and make the wheels run
mere smoothly The trade in arms
10 getting to be a big thing Amer
icsn arms have always been favor
ties in Europe, aud this war has Civ
snis fresh impetus to the business.
The Colt and Remington armsries
are now running, night and day, on
both Russian and Turkish orders,
md ship leads are sailing daily. All
'essel loaded with arms and ammu-
'ition for Russia sailed yesterday
md ,as they we're paid fer before
hey left the port, as well as the 1
'sssel that csrried them, the whole
'oncern is -Russian property. The
,essci and cargo is valued At SILL,
l00, 900, making it a tempting prize.
accordingly party Of spectators,
Icting in concert with the Turkish
representative here, have bsught a.
leet stesmer, and put into her an
lr9smcnt, and propose to fellow
md capture her on the high seas.
& will be . splendid speculation,
% the Turkish government wiIl.im.
nediately, buy the steamer, to be
'ssd in similar ventures. AS both
:svsrnments are compelled to get ]
heir arms from this country, to ais
cry considerable extent, there will
. agreat deal of this kind Of thing !.
one, which will employ q great
lany adventurous spirits, who are {
OF sverss tn making . great deal !
money, but who prefer the sex-
itcment TO the profit. The Rem I
lgton&, it is said, have . contracts /
'r over million Of rifles, as both !
