MAY POLES IN SWEDEN.

In few villages in England can May
pole now be seen, and probably in none of
them is it ever put in use. In Sweden,
however, there are Maypoles still in plen-.

rustic merriment. Only. as the snow may
not have vanished by Mayday, the al fres-
70 friskings are wisely postponed until
midsummer. In Dalecarlia. especially,
the old custom is kept up, as the lately
faded flowers and wreaths of whitening
leaves that hung about the poles in August
plainly showed. Terp.ichore- may doubt

ICorrespOndence OF the n, w fork Worid'l
WAsHIYaTON, July .E>--Tbe trouble
among our neighbors in N'if2inia' conse-
quent upon the placing in 'se held OF the
ReadiGsters' or Malone electO raj ticker, has
excited much comment, and in SSdeF 10 as
certain the effect which this sep might
have l called upon General L. VRa Hun
ton, the representative OF the' aololh,
ing district, now In New Yo. ~. ana
asked him whether this seconL' Han
cock ticket would cOmplicate matters III MS
State. He replied. "Not at all. VII -gsnia
will cast her vote for the electors on the
regular Hancock ticket. The Readius, rss
will generally vote for the regular tic. te,
nominated at the Convention held on IL 'e
10th OF May. Our calculation Is that we
will carry the State over all combinations
by from $4,000 to 10000 majority. The ef-
feet Of the second ticket, OF course, Is to
help Garfield, and this will be so patent in
the canvass that we believe nearly all who
wish the nomination Of Hancock will vote
the regular ticket"
"You apprehend then, General, no Sc
siOus effects from this apparent disturbing
element?"
"No; we believe and are confident that
General Hancock will be elected By large
majority OF the electoral vote, and we do
not mean that virginia shall be left out OF
the victorious column, since we know our
ability to give her an honored place among
the other Democratic States"
This view of the question is uniformly
taken by most OF our visitors from Vir-
ginia, and Is based upon the strong deter
mination OF the people OF Virginia-irre-
spective Of their differences on financial
issues-to do their duty in the present con-
test.

John X. Giliiat & CO.'S Tobacco Circu-
lar.
LONDON, CROSBY sQUARE,l

Editors Dispatch: The faint hope Of some
life being impaired TO our trade by the poor
crop prospects of month ago has for the
present Disappeared, and wo close our COM
mercial year with duller feeling In the mar.
ket than we have noted NJ any previous
period OF the season.
The weather reports from America are
sufficiently favorable to convince buyers at
any rate that production will keep pace with
all probable demands. and they Will no
doubtpnrsue waiting policy for some time
longer, as, indeed, their position quite ena-
bes them to do. We do nof, however. see
any signs Of anxiety on the part OF holders,
and the tone Of our American correspond
ence Is rather confident than otherwise as
to the position OF all sound and desirable
classes OF tobacco.
The future course OF prices with us will
depend very much OIL the distribution OF
consignments this season, and we notice
that these are scattered rather widely in our
several markets. Our home trade affords
such limited outlet that increased compe-
tition In selling is all in favor of buyers,
and must tend TO greater irresuarity in
price.
Business during last month was very
limited, and calls for no special remark.

The New state, War, and Navy DE.
partment B0iIding.

WASHINGTON, July bit is expected that
the north wing OF the new State, War, and
Navy Department building will be COM
pleted by the end Of the present fiscal year,
leaving then but small portion to COM
plete the imposing structure. Colonel
Casey, the Superintendent Of Public Build
ings and Grounds, has large force OF men
engaged on the work, the speedy compile
ton OF which, he says, is the one ambition
Of life. Thus far nothing definite bas been
done with reference TO a proposition before
the House Committee on Appropriations
last winter 10 lit up rooms in the new build
ing as an executive Office for the Presi.
dents clerks.
1t is urged that the Executive Mansion Is
too cramped, and that quite often the pre-
sidential family are greatly Inconvenience
for the want OF proper accommodations for
friends who come to visit them for any length
of time. This being the case, and desiring to
keep the mansion intact, additional quar-
tiers for clerks are asked for. 1t was once
proposed to build an extension, or to re-
model entirely the White House, but the
historical associations which cling TO it
were sufficient ground for rejecting such
plan, and other arrangements were
considered best. The pending propo-
sition Of locating the offices in the
new State, War, and Navy Department
building seems TO meet the ideas OF the
President, Colonel Casey, and Others, who
suggest in addition, should the plan be
adopted, that the Executive Mansion be re-
furnished and renovated throughout. The
new building would then be very convent
ent, and, beside, being the handsomest,
would be the most complete Government
establishment in the world. 1t is said that
arrangements for these changes will be con-
summated at the next session Of Congress-
