GERMANY

There has been great improvement
in the weather in this country, and
the crops are already reported to be im-
proving 1t appears, however, that ow-
ing to the previous unfavorable weather
and absence Of rain, the harvest in
the North and Eaat Of Germany can
not be near an average, but in the
South end West the prospect is better
The "term" markets this week have
suffered marked decline for both wheat
and rye, Within the last three days
there has been a slight recovery.
HOLLAND
The weather in this country has
remained highly favorable for the crops,
which are generally well spoken of.
RUSSIA
Last sdvices from Odessa speak very
favorably of the crops in the South of
Russia, and with favorable weather an
abundant yield is expected. The descrip-
tion of the crops in this part of Russia,
telegraphed by the Times correspondent
on the 9th inst, is very far-fetched, and
shows very superficial acquaintance
with the subject, but the upshot of
the matter is, that the prospect is un
doubtedly very favorable.

good things, related the following story at the
expense of ex-President Hayes. In parenthe-

each other They travelled together to- point
where branch road came in, and where there
was stop for lunch. The ex-President IN
getting off took Mr.. Daggetts satchel with
him instead of his own. When Mr.. Daggett
returned to his seat from lunch, a farmer levi

He's d-n thief maybe he u.s." said Dag
gett; "but what makes you think so?" He
took your satchel and left his'n', was the an
swer. Daggett looked and saw that this was
actually the case but he did not place a very
high value on his carpet bag and thought he
wou Id not lose much by the swap, so he did
not sigh just before the train pulled out,
however, Mr.. Hayes came back, saying, II
have taken your satchel for mine. ! don't
know how did it, but / did it." 81 don't

is a bigger one than yours and much heavier"
Here he opened his own satchel by pressing

couple of dirty shirts, deck of cards Gor soli-
