Crops in Europe

Crops In Europe.
London, August 1.-The Standard in
an article on the harvest says the gener.
al opinion in Mark Lane is that there is
an average wheat crop in England and q
great majority of reports from the differ.
ent districts confirm that estimate. The
barley crop cannot fail to be an average
one. Root crops are less promising than
they have been at this period for many
years. Potatoes, however, are as good
as roots are bad. The prospects il
Scotland are much less favorable than il
England. The most auspicious report,
of all crops come from Ireland.

What A BOY Did.

A duke, walking in his garden one
day, saw Latin copy Of great work
on mathematics lying on the grass, and
thinking it had been brought from his
library, called some one TO carry it back.
'lt belongs to me" said the gardener 5
son stepping up.
"Yours :" cried the duke; "DoyOu un-
derstand geometry and Latin"
81 know u little Of theln," answered
the lad modeatly.
The duke, having taste for science,
| began to talk with the young student,
and was astonished at the clearuess and
intelligence Of his answers.
"But how came you to know 80 much
asked the duke.
Zone Of the servants taught me tC
read" answ cred the lad; zone does moi
need to know anything more than the
twenty-four letters in order to learn
everything else one wishes"
But the gentleman wanted to know
more about it.
"After learned to read, said the boy,
the masons came to work Oh your house;
noticed the architect used rule and
compasSrs, and made great many cal
culatiOnS. What was the meaning and
use of that | asked, and they told me
of a science called arithmetic. | bought
an arithmetic and studied it through.
They then told me there was another
science called geometry. | bought the
books and learned geometry. Then |
found there were better books about
these sciences in latin. | bought a
dictionary and learned latin. heard
there were still better ones in French.
got a dictionary and learned French.
1t seems to me we may learn
everything when we know the twenty
four letters of the alphabet.
They are, in fact the ladder to every
science. But how many boys are con-
tented to waste their time at the first
two or three rounds, with not pluck nor
perseverance enough to climb higher.
Up, up, up, if you want to know more,
and see clearer, and take a high post Of
usefulness in the world. And ifyOu are
q poor boy and need little friendly en-
couragement to help you on, be sure, if
you have hill to climb, you will find
the way,just as the gardener son found
it afterwards in the Duke of Argyle,
under whose patronage he pursued his
studies and became distinguished
mathematician.

At meeting of the Standing Com

amble and resolution, relating to Bisho]

ly and ordered to be sent immediatel,

| WHEREAS, 1t has come to the knowl
edge of the Standing Committee of the
Diocese of Delaware, that there has
been received by the Right Rev. b. b.
Smith, ID. d., presiding bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States, certain paper purport-
ing to be presentment of the bishop of
thlS diocese for alleged violations of the
canons of the General Convention and
Tor unchriStian conduct, and signed by
persons emitting themselves as follows.

d1en; ii. ". Bigger, junior warden;
Everett Won Culin and Clayton Van
Culln, laymen; which document, dated
March 10, was received by the presid-
ing bishop May q, 1881. Therefore,
while we are prepared to give a fuller
statement of the case if desired. the
Standing Committee think it sufficient
to pass the following resolution:
Resolved, That in behalf of the dio-
cese, we request the presiding bishop to
take no official notice of this alleged
presentinent of our bishop for the fol-
lowing reasons: That in addition to
the defects of the document as to its
form, itsanimus, and the character and
position Of the parties signing, it is
such as to render it unworthy of further
notice OH his part. We declare the
charges contained in it to be entirely
untounded, malicious and absurd, Of
the signers, the Rev. II. L. Phillips has
recently been separated from his parish
by the bishop, acting by advice of the
Standing Committee under canon 4.
title =, and is now under sentence of in
hibition. The Rev. X. j. Stewart, with
out charge and receiving the income of
the Diocesan Fund as u disabled clergy
man, is a man whose eccentSicities have
heretofore been charitably passed over
as vagaries Of insanity. The three lay
men are young men, in our judgment
entirely incompetent to form an opinion
or act independently upon such sub
iect. We, therefore, request and advise
that no official notice or canonical action
be taken in relation to this document.
The above resolution was passed at a
meeting of the Standing Committee
duly convened here, in the city of Will
mington, Delaware, May Is, 1881.

He p.dn,t want to Seem Captions

A night or two since, as a policeman
was making his way up Beaubien street
he was accOsted by colored man witt
the remark

"Go and order him out once more. u
In about ten minutes the man returned
and reported:
b"I don't want to seem capshus, sab,
but dun ordered him out, just as you
said"
And he didn't go?"
"No, sab. He said he'd see me in

under sich circumstances"
"If man was in my house and

He retired into his house, and the
officer remained to see the end, 1t came
in about two minutes. Three or four
yells were heard, somebody's feet
seemed to strike the wall, and then the
door opened and Williams flew into the
street like half-flled straw bed. He
was scarcely on hfs feet before he bolted
up the walk, and the owner of the
house came down the steps to explain:

The Mules and street Cars.

A brief article in the REPUBLICAN
Yesterday intimating that the mules
employed upon the Fourth Street City
Hallway were overworked reflected per-
haps rather severely upon the directors
and officers in charge of the road. 1t is
admitted by them that an empty car is
too great u load for one small mule to
draw up Fourth Street Hill to Market
Street, "but, said gentleman intercs-
ted to a REPUBLICAN representative
Yesterday, "you see we don't do that
now. We were experimenting and
found that one mule Was not sufficient.
We then tried two cars with two
horses each but that did not answer the
case and SO we put on three cars with u
mule in each, and spare horse to meet
every car at French street to help each
mule up to Market street. This plan Of
running three cars gives ten minutes
rest each trip at the Market street end
of the road, and then in addition to that
the mules are only worked five hours in
the day, which is certainly not a very
hard days work, not rs hard by half as
a draw horse that must 90 from sun to
sun with but short interval for feed at
noon.
1t was maintained by the gentlemen
referred to that Miss Emily Webb, the
Manager Of the Society tor the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals, had no more
sympathy for the brute creation than
the gentleman in charge Of the City
Railway Company that they would
not suffer mules and horses to be over
worked and that if any of them were
required to do IL little more at
times than they would be able to
do for any considerable length Of
time, it was only because the company
was experimenting in trying how to get
along comfortably and conveniently,
with as little expense as possible, and
these experiments would not last long
The REPUBLICAN, 5 representative was
assured that there was IL great deal OF
overdrawn imagination i'll regard to the
"pcor little mules" and he was assured
that the public might rest satisfied that
no inhumanity would be practiced nor
for an instant permitted upon the
Fourth street City Railway.

ments around the embankments and EN-

ing the winter part of the sod slid
down out of place from the east side OF

repaired and re-sodded i'll very hand
some manner by Thomas Reynolds. A
picket fence is being erected from the
southeast to the northeast corner eX-
tending out to the front of the water of
flee and the engine house, probably some
two rods from the base OF the cmbank-
ment. Mr.. Reynolds and Il force of
other workmen are at work laying sod
over the vacant space enclosed. The
work would be very much improved by
the planting Of few flowers which
would break the monotony Of so much
green sod. The city should fencein the
lots below the basin and make public
