A Washington dispatch, dated
July 18th, quotes Secretary Wilson
or The Agricultural Department as
follows concerning the drouth:
"'I'here ia not vet cause for genu-
inc alarm. Throughoutthe corn belt
tie diouth has not yet beea severe
enough 70 seriously effect the corn.
Hot weather is not damaging to
corn at this season. For myself /
think we viii have plenty Of corn
III this coatry.''
OF course the Secretary Of Agri
culture is not supposed to know
anything about the real condition Of
crops 10 this country, but he ought
to have manhood enough about him
to not allow lot d stock gamblers
in New York city to induce him to
send such q statement out over the
country. One has but to read the
daily papers TO see how the buying
and selling by the gamblers on Wall
street and elsewhere is effected by
the reports sent in as to ths crop
conditions Of the country, The Sec.
rotary Of Agriculture no doubt
stands to gain considerably in one
way or another, or else he would not
send out such a statement as the
above. However, there is probably
some truth in the last sentence above
quoted: II think we will have

There are fully 5000 Missouri

educational institutions and the best

thrown their doors open to teachers
during the months that teachers can

that State Superintendent Caring

this about. He hopes that the time
is not far distant when the summer
institute will be of the past and that

THE TIDES continue to make high and
while no material damage has resulted,
no little Inconvenience is experienced
by those whose callings keep them
around the wharves. The water yes,er-
day morning reached a higher point
than at any time last week, spreading
10 some cases to Union street. At the
Baltimore and Ohio transfer clip the
tide reached the railroad track on the ap-
proach to their wharf. At Agnew's ship
yard it spread over the wharf and laved
the coal banks in the enclosure. This
condition of affairs existed ell the way
to Point West, or beyond Fishtown.
The usual discontinue was experienced
by passengers going to or coming from
the Washington ferry boats.
The water this morning had reached
higher mark than for long time, and
Ii was impossible to walk around the
Strand. The tide at IL o'clock was
creeping towards the railroad track on
Union street, and wagons in coming
from and going to the ferry wharf were
submerged to the hubs. Nearly all the
wharyes were submerged and sheet
of chips, trash and bark covered the
fsce of the water, while long lines OF
drift wood, Ia the shape OF logs, rails,
&C, were born on the bosom OF the cur
rent which prevailed 10 the channel. AT
one O'Clock, when the tide ceased to
swell. the water mad in some Instances
layed the Union street track, and on
several of the streets leading from the
Strand it was impossible to reach ga
looms and stores without wading knee
deep, and scenes In Venice were sug-
pested. So far no material damage has
resulted, but there is much apprehen-
sion. Reports from above are to
the effect that this Is one of the most
sudden rises OF the Potomac river 10 re.
cent years. Destruction to property
along the banks and damage to the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal was threst'
ened Yesterday. The river is higher
than it has been In five years. The
stage of water at 6 O'Clock yesterday
evening was % feet above low level and
it was rising 10 inches to the hour. TIE
low lands between the river and canal
at Williamsport, Md, are under five
feet of water, and on the Virginia
side the river has leaped the high banks
flooding acres OF wheat. At points at
and below the river Is higher than the
canal and is flowing into the levels,
which are overlooking. 1t 10 feared this
condition of affairs will cause serious
trouble in Alexandria.
