THE R4INS.

The copious and steady rains OF the last
fortnight over the Middle States have drenched
the fat hil-farms of PENNSYLVANIA and New
York, the red soils of Ncw-Jcrsey and the
peach orchards of Delaware, and the earth
seems to have taken n fresh start. tender
Green begins to show under the burned yellow
naslure-felds; the ranks of corn stand up
sitter and more vigorous; the late vegetables,
which had almost made up their mind to give
ND the struggle and the ghost altogether for
this year, have taken heart of grace and are
making a squirt to put In late appear
ance. The great markets of New-fork ana
Philadelphia are always supplied, by some
occult means, with vegetables and fruits III
heir season. at some price or other, let sun
and wind do what they will. But In the IN
land towns and farms, housekeepers had this
Summer almost given up hopes OF the usual
supply of tomatoes, sweet potatoes, etc, on
which so much of the years supplies depends.
The recent rains, though too late for the hay,
will do much to stock the Dantre3 or
the rich with these vegetables and cheaper
the markets for the poor during the coming
Fall and Winter. Orr range OF crops In TINS
country is so varied and vast that we can
afford TO lose one or two without any real
danger. almost without feeling it; unlike the
door Irish or Persians, to whom a single
drouth brings actual famine.
1t is true that the farmers are trudSing
through the soppy fields, grumbling just as
hard as they did six weeks ago when the
same fields were baked hot and yellow as Il
pumpkir-pic. They declare that the rains
come too late to feed the stock, and just in
time to ruin the peaches. Bat it has been
mart OF the farmers nature to grumble and
predict ruin to himself ever since the days
of Cain, who was the first of them all, and

1t may be seriously questioned whether there
ever was more mort1fSing exhibition OF
official imbecility than the inability of the
great City of New-York to dispose Of its ref
use and garbage without befouling the waters
of its harbor, gradually filling up some of its
channels and strewing the beaches of its pop
ular seaside resorts with the decaylng bodles
of animals. Yesterday there was new de-
veopment III this strange drama OF ol1cal
stupidity. The Shore Inspector wrote sharp
note to the Police Commissioners. reminding
them that lie had received the personal pledges
of several of them and the official assurances of
the Board besides the promises OF Their sub
ordinates, that the garbage should be uu-
loaded at the dumping-grounds at the first
cob of the tide in order that it might be
carried out to sea. Instead of this, there has
been repeatedly delay OF several hours, the
result of which was that the garbage was
brought back by the returning tide. The
Shore Inspector, therefore, revOkes his per-
nit and gives notice that no boat will be
allowed to go out unless accompanied by him
self or a deputy In other words, he takes
the Police Commissioners OF New York by the
ear and varies the story about the bear SUI
fciently to tell them that they are not
officially fit to dump garbage. We hope the
| Commissioners enjoy the situation. Mean
while. the public would be glad to see some
sign that a man Will some day take hold OF
this street-cleaning and garbage business who,
instead of devotng himself to the service of the
politicians will set about solving the problem
as an engineer sets about draining a swamp
or building a bridge-on business and scientific
principles. Will the politicians ever let us
