Europe's svneaa Harvest.

l.
From the annual report on ibe harvest
of the world, just published in France by
NJ. Estienne, we get full idea of this
year wheat crop in the various countries
Of Europe. The yield in France is not SO
good as it was last year. Of ninety De-
partments returned ii is reported very
good in three, good in thirty, fairly good
in three, good in thirty, fairly good in
twenty three, medium ia twenty four. and
bad in ten. In Austro Hungary the crop
is good and above the average. In Italy
1t IS zaedium and inferior to that of last
year, and the same is true of the Turkish
provinces on the Danube. In Germany,
taking 0nehundred rs representative of
the average harvest, the crop of this year
10 down to about eighty. In Switzerland
the yield was greatly reduced By extreme
heat and dropth; but the quality Of the
grain is good. The Belgian crop is far
below the average, while the Spanish is
bad. In Holland the yield is up to the
average and the quality good. The Brit
ish crop is returned by NJ Estienne as
ten per cent. below the average, aad this
report was made before the recent damag-
ing rains.

A Curious Plese Of Horse rIcah.

A correspondent at Marion, Ohio, re-
Iates the following: \ curious piece of
horse flesh was brought to to9n recently
by farmer namad Syndar, living il the
south part of this county. The animal
is destitute of hair, except the tail, which
Is unusually black and luxmiaut. Last
winter the critter wa8 afflicted with an
eruptive disease, known among country
farriers rs 'yaIler water" but among
more scientific veterinary surgeons as
humid exanthema. This malady caused
the complete destruction of the hail
bulbs, and the animal began rapidly to
shed, leaving the body as stated above.
The skin is remarkably smooth, glossy.
and of leaden color. The horse was
originally a roam. He is sixteen hands
high, in good condition, and works reg
ulary on luis owners farm. Snyder be-
came disguised with the appearance of
the quadruped and brought him here tc
dispose Of him. Early in the day he
would have taken $50, but before night
he returned to his homo refusing $500.

Sumner,s Pleasant Memories.

Charles Sumner told Anna Hampton
Brewster once that among the pleasant
est memories of his life was a solitary
summer he spent in Rome in his Young
manhood, the first he paid to Europe.
Such long delicious hours Of study he
had from early dawn to late Gfternoon!-
then he rambled out on the Campagna.
and through the then very picturesque
streets of Papal Rome until bedtime.
Life seemed to stand still IN one blessed
moment of peace and rest and high in
tellectual reverie. Miss Brewster adds;
Il remembev well how eloquent he grew
over the description of that divine
Roman summer. 1t was the Lost Gar
den of his existence, Gndhe quoted some
verses from that lovely poem Of Mrs.
Browning, then mole IL fashion than
now When l said it was lotos draught
he had drunk, he exclaimed, 'Ycsl yes!
