Edmund Yates new paper re-
peats a story about the late Thomas
Carlyle, which seems to explain
why the latter should have al
tempted to apotheOsize Mrs Car
Iyle as the model good wife. Mr..
CARLYLE used to work late at night,
and consequently, when he rose IN
the morning, was cross and Ill
bumored without knowing the
reason why. His dyspepsia made
him think the breakfast bad. de
would grumble, grOwl, and, with q
mere glance at the dishes before
him, declare that the coffee wa
cold. the bread unlesvened an
the meats tough and either under
done or overdone. Then this ex
cellent, polite and in fact un
paralleled housewife, lhs'eao
grumbling and controvertlnt
would at once assent, order tn
dishes back to the kitchen an
that another breakfast should I
forthwith served. In few mil
utes the philosophers appel
usually came back to him. Il
new breakfast comprising the o
dishes of course) was immediate
served, and Mr.. Carlyle devour
with relish and satisfaction t

ANNUAL REPORT OF GEN. WRIGHT.--
The chief Of engineers u. $. A., has just
completed his annual report. 1t is very
lengthy document, and fills large volume.
He dwels at length on the inadequacy of
our coast defenses, and renews the recon-
mendations contained in his last annual re-
port for the improvement and strengthen
ing of the different Notifications. The re-
port contains q comprehensive summary of
the work conducted by the engineer corps
in all parts Of the United States, and
in the main indorses the various recon-
mendations for the more rapid completion
of existing projects. This is particularly
the case in regard to Col. Abert's report ON
the harbor of Washington and Georgetown,
including the views therein contained in
reference to the reclamation of the Potomac
flats and for the removal Of distractions
from the river channels. The report also
concurs in Col. Craighills recommendations
for the repair of Forts Foote and Washing
ton on the Potomac River, which are
represented as fast falling into
decay. Considerable space is devoted to
improvements of New York harbor and
adjacent waters, The amount expended on
the removal ofthe He'll Gate distractions to
the close of the year ending June 30, 1880,
was 50, 350.2S0.57. The amount expended
during the past fiscal year was $250,0S AZ.
The estimated amount for the completion OF
the improvements TO the Harlem River Is
$1,700,0G0.

ALarcc Cuban sugar Crop.

A splendid and extraordinarily album
dant sugar crop is predicted everywhere in
Cuba. Accounts from Cienfuegos give the
assurance that the crop will exceed more
than 30 per cent. the crop of years of good
product, and that it will exceed more than
so per cent. last years crop. In the juris-
dictions of Cardcnas, Mantanzas and Colon,
the probable proportion of excess is given
CARDS these estimates as exagerations. 1t
thinks the excess will reach higher than
Is per cent. The prospects of next years
tobacco crop are also very encouraging.

wholesale we can conceive of no surcr
method than to keep them in cold and dis

We are informed that there has been no fire
in the Abbott Public School building since
the reopening of the schools, and that the
furnaces are all out of order. BY reason OF
this several of the pupils have already
taken severe colds. Who is responsible for
this? 1t would be far better to dismiss the

can be put in order than to risk tho health
