The Weather and the Crops.

The weather-crop bulletin of the signal Office
says: The week ending July 10 has been
slightly warmer than usual from the middle
Atlantic states westward to the Missouri valley,
while the temperature has been slightly below
the normal generally throughout the southern
states and New England, the greatest depart
ures occurring along the New England and
gulf coasts, where the daily temperature ave-
ragged degrees below the normal. In the princi-
pal corn states of the central valleys about
the normal temperature prevailed, while in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and the southern
portions OF Minnesota and Dakota the daily ex-
cess OF temperature amounted to about 3 de-
grees. The weather during the week has been
generally favorable to all growing crops
throughout the corn and wheat regions of the
central valleys, extending from Tennessee
northward to the lakes and from PENNSYLVANIA
westward to Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota.
Reports from all corn-producing states indi-
cate that this crop, which is in fine condition,
was greatly improved This applies no. only
to the principal corn-producing states of the
north, but to Kentucky, Tennessee and Ala
bama. The weather was favorable for the rice
crop in Louisiana and for tobacco in Kentucky,
Virginia and North Carolina. In the middle
Atlantic states the weather was favorable for
harvesting but much hay and some wheat
were injured by previous rains; all other crops
are doing well. Haying has been greatly de-
layed in New England and oats are reported
rustiDg, while other crops were improved. and

Capers of Cannon Balls.
From the Chicago Mail.


Capt Meredith, John Richie. and Geo.
Shields, known as ''old HOSES" and ''old-
timers" sat around in the Press club one after
noon recently and talked about the times Of
the war and told of the funny capers that can
non balls and musket balls cut. Capt Mere
dith said he once found a dead rebel behind a
big tree. The dead man was resting on one
knee. In position to shoot. His musket was
in his hands, the butt of the gun was against
his shoulder. and one eve was open, squirting
along the gun-barrel There wasn't mark on
the body, but the man was stone dead There
was a compound cannon ball buried ia the
tree. The man had been killed by the concus-
sion. Mr.. Shields said that he saw a cannon
bali go into the ground about 200 yards in
front Of where he was standing He thought
that was the end of the matter, but in about
three seconds the ball came out of the ground
fifty yards beyond the place it struck. 1t then

John Ritchie said he saw a man hit with a
"spent" cannon ball. He walked over to where
the man lay to see what he could do for him

of tobacco, or something-but all that was yisi-
bic was mass of about 100 pounds of flesh and
blue cloth, mixed up like sausage, with an eve

during the war was a CANNON ball about as big

Statues and Their Accessories.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

ssThe Early Raid on Washington

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
/ notice an article in your issue Of the 18th
instant purporting to give an account Of the
raid OF Gen. Early upon this city in the month
OF July, 1864. As the article contains inaccu-
racies I am tempted to call your attention to
the same. 1t probably makes very little differ
ence now to any one who is or who is not en-
titled to the credit Of saving the capital from
capture, but at that time It was universally
conceded that Washington was saved from cap
ture by Gen. Early's forces by the regiments
OF the veteran reserve corps then on duty in
this city, and it is rather late in the day to
Ignore their services entirely, as has been done
IN the article comment on
The following regiments of the veteran re-
serve corps are entitled to the credit, namely:
The first regiment veteran reserves, Major F.
E. Trotter commanding; the sixth regiment
veteran reserves, Col. NJ. NJ Wisewen COM
handing; the ninth regiment veteran reserves,
Col. Geo. W. Gile commanding, and the twenty
second regiment veteran reserves, Lieut. Col.
Allan Rutherford commanding The ninth
and twenty-second regiments were deployed
upon the skrmish line in front Of Fort Stevens
on 18th street road, and participated in the ac-
ton with the enemy near Silver Spring, losing
number of their men, and successfully re-
sisted the efforts of the enemy to break through
their line until the sixth corps came up. This

took in the whole situation. A striking proof
Of his penetration was given on his being called
to attend Mr.. Blight, who had been shot BY
an unknown assassin
The moment Sir Ashley examined the wound
he said: "A pistol has been fred at you with
the left hand"
On seeing Mr.. Patch, Blight's partner, he was
90 struck by the peculiar expression OF his
countenance that he whispered: If that gentle
man we're left-handed, should suspect him Of
being the murderer"
Patch was left-handed, and on being trisA

What Is the Moon?

From Story Of the Heavens
But when We look at the moon with our tele-
scopes do we see any traces Of water? There
are, no doubt many large districts which at a
first glance seem like oceans, and were indeed
termed 'seas" by the old astronomer, a name
which they still absurdly retain. Closer inspec-
ton shows that the so-called lunar seas are des-
erts, often marked over with small craters and
with rocks. The telescope reveals no seas and no
oceans, no lakes andno rivers. Nor is the grand
eur Of the moons scenery ever impaired by
clouds over her surface. Whenever the moon
is above the horizon and terrestrial clouds are
out of the way, we can see the features of her
surface with distinctness. There are no clouds
in the moon; there are not even the mists or
the vapors which invaribly arise wherever
water Is present; and therefore astronomers
have been led to the conclusion that our satel-
lite is o sterile and waterless desert.

gay young fellow, with a dazzling blazer
and a tennis racquet in his hand, was sitting in
a crowded 6th-avenue elevated car the other

OF tired disgust spread over the face of

old man on the other side of the car began in
a loud tone: Now that's just as it should
