Bad prospects for shs Harvess.


LONDON, July 11th.-John Jo.
seph Mechi, a noted scientific agri-
culturist, writes to the Times as
follows: Another week of flood.
ing storms and low temperature
has put the finishing Stroke to the
agricultural disaster. 1t ia now too
late for crops to recover. They are
considerably injured, even on well
fsrmed and drained la nds, while on
ill-farmed and undrained lands,
the matter Is simply ruinous.
Wheat will suffer less than Spring
crops. Wedding is hopeless, aud
unless we get the promised hot, dry
weather, many grass and clover
crops, and even peas will rot un-
gathered.

1t Is curious how narrow. minded
some men are, and how little they
care about subjects calculated to
broaden and benefit their mental
faculties. Such a man was half
asleep on a bench at the Union
depot yesterday, when very tall
stranger with very short linen
duster on sat beside him and said:
"Have you calculated the pres
sure per square inch which you ex-
ercise on this bench?"
The sleepy man scowled as he
looked up, and then turned away
as If he didn't want to hear any
more.
"Do you know" continued the
linen-duster, "whether it is dead
weight or force of gravitation
which permits you to rest on this
bench?"
mo, sir," was the emphatic an
swer.
"What is the attractive power of
the earth? What force is exerted by
the law of gravitation on feet the
size of yours? Let us figure a mo-
ment.n
II don't want to hear you talkW
snapped the other as he sat up.
"I'm waiting for the train!,
"So'm l." said linen-duster, "and
that opens subJect for new
thought. Do you know the weight
Of air displaced by train moving
at the rate of thirty miles an
hour?"
mo, sir, nor don's care! Pm in
no mood for talking.
Suppose" remarked the linen
duster as he squinted his left eye o t
the sun, "that you are walking at
the rate of six miles an hour, do
you wish to know what pressure
the air exerts upon your forward
movement? Lend me your pencil
and I will figure"
II won't do it, and L tell you
again don't want to be talke i to!n
was the fierce reply.
"Do you know how long it would
take locomotive to reach the
moon, running at the rate of a mile
d minute?" softly asked linen-dus-
ter.
"See here, I'll knock your head
of If you don't 20 away from mew

The man with the linen-duster
withdrew few feet to lean against
the wall, and the other went back
to his narrow-minded and selfish
interests. While the latter dozed
and thought of nothing higher
than ham and eggs, the former
picked up an old nail and softly
figured out the distance travelled by
fathers arm in giving his son an

UondIt,ou of,ns rre..ury.

New YORK, July 1.-THE Times
says: The estimates Of the Secfe-
tary OF the Treasury, prepared with
the results Of the four months of
the fiscal already before him, fall
ten millions short Of the actual
revenue and twenty-seven millions
short OF the actual expenditures.
1t is gratifying to find that the
elasticity of revenues has been so
much greater than was expected
even though under the head Of
"prof1ts on coinage" there may be
million or two of purely fictitious
gain to the Government, but IL is
monstrous that the reckless med
ding of an irresponsible majority
in Congress should have added at
least twenty million of unforeseen
liabilities to the balance sheet of
the year. The frittering away of
the responsibility for details of ma
tional expenditures among null
titude of committees, and q general
disregard alike for the recon- mend
ations and warnings of the Treas.
ury exhibited by the committees
and the main body Of both Houses,
are among the most serious defects
of our system Of conducting public
business.

The Elevated Railroad.

NEW YORK, July 1lth.-The Bul-
lefin to-day says: 1t would be in
the last degree impudent to infer
that the Fourth avenue railroad
job is dead because the Board of
Aldermen turn their backs upon it.
The Rapid Transit Commissioners,
who appear to be acting wholly in
the interest of Vanderbilt, are al
ready giving notice that they will
proceed with their plans as If noth-
ing had happened, and have the
audacity to say that II the Board of
Aldermen refuse to concur with
them some future Board will. The
managers OF the elevated roads
have determined to add eight half
hours to the daily time within
which five cent fares will be
charged, leaving only six hours a
day for ten cent fares. II the ex-
pertinent results in further trans
fer of horse-car traffic TO steam rail-
roads the five cent tariff will be
made uniform.
European Crop Prospecss.
NEW YORK, July 11th. The 7ri-
bune, reviewing European crops,
says: Even II the accounts are ap-
proximately correct, the demand
upon this country will be far great
er than ever before. The we'll
known exports within about twelve
months have been about 14S $685.
1858 bushels of wheat, besides the
quantity exported within the past
two months from the Pacific Coast
and minor Atlantic ports, bat the
prospects are that a still larger sup
ply will be required from us during
the next twelve months, for the
condition of foreign crops is more
unfavorable than 1t was at this
time last year, and the stores
abroad are much more nearly ex-
hausted.
Liquor Dealers Ram p ant.
NEW YORK, July llth.-A vigor-
GUS movement was begun yester-
day among the liquor dealers, to
resist the methods by which the
liquor law is being enforced. They

NEW YORK, July 11th.-The

the useless hoard will amount to
about $42. 900, 900. 1t is probable
that no sensible change in legisla.

other Congress has been chosen,
