The Department 'of Agriculture reports oats in a superior condition in New England, in most of the Southern States, in those of the Missduri Valley and Oregon, and in fair to high condition in the remaining States ex- cepting California. 'I‘Rc South is‘finding'im- ' munity from lors in their red rust-proof oats. The indications are favorable for a good yield of barley, though a decrease of area is report- ed in the IVestern States. The condition is highest West of the Mississippi. There is an increase of clover, especially in the South, and very marked in Texas. Sprincr pasture has been abundant in Northern New‘England, in the West, in Virginia and Texas, and in Oregon. 'It has been injured in Southern New England, and in the Middle States, prior to the recent rains, by dry weather. Drought has reduced the condition in portions Of the South. The injury from this cause has been great in California. Pasturagc has been generally good in the Territories. An investigation into the losses of sheep during the past year shows a total of nearly 3,000,- 030 of sheep and lambs destroyed by dogs and wolves and various diseases, and an aggregate money value of nearly $8,000,000. q 0*— A Grand Exhibition Of National Industry. The American Institute of the City of New York will hold its 461li Exhibition this Fall, opening on the 12th day of September next, and continuing until late in November. The Exhibition this year promises to be of unusual interest, and' the acknowledged benefits resulting from the bringing tog‘etlipr of the Producer and Consumer are facts too long admitted to be denied. The City of New York being the centre of American wealth‘ and population, together with the thousands of citizens from every part of our extended country, gives the. exhi- bitor an unequalled opportunity of introduc- ing his products. The American Institute is the Oldest of all societies now in existence of its kind, and is not in any sense a private corporation, its earnings being devoted by its charter to the encouragement of home-industries. _ For blanks and all information, address, Chas.

The ten o’clock express, which was going at a rapid rate of speed, struck one of a part y of tramps who had step- ped on the track to avoid a freight train which was coming the other way near For- estdale. The train struck him with such force as to hurl him against a telegraph pole anti severed his head from his body. The head flying and striking another tramp broke his legs. It is said that. every bone in the body of the tramp who was killed was broken. 1.... . ‘XEW Youx, J nne 25.—Robcbert Dale Owen died yesterday at his summer cottage at Lake George. p-..- Flora Temple is 3:3.

Mr. Smalley, some of our readers. may remember, has not been among the enthusias- tic admirers Of the (ax-president, and is him- self vcry‘fa‘stidiOus in his tastes, General Grant is, all the world agrees, a pretty good soldier, but I am not sure that he has mistaken his vocation after all. Not sure whether he was not born to make speeches on occasions of ceremony, and neat little replies to toasts at great dinners, and mots at all suit- able opportunities. It happened—I say it modestly—that I was a good deal in his com; pany yesterday. I doubt whether anybod' . else has heard Grant make three speeches in one day. , . . , The first was a somewhat elaborate address in the library of the Guildhall in‘response to the still more elaborate address of the cham- berlain in Offering him the freedom of the city of London. It was thoroughly well done'in manner and in matter, and I shall re- fer to it by and by. The second was at lunch in the Guildhall, and was simply a gem. It is so clumsily re- ported in this morning’s papers that I insert here the true version. The lord mayor hav- ing proposed, and the guests having drunk, General Grant’s health, the general'rcplied in these words : - ~ Mr LORD MAYOR, Lamps AND GENTLEMEN: Habits formed in early life and education press upon us as we grow older. I was brought up a soldier—not to talking. I am not aware that I ever fought two_battles on the same day in the same place,‘ and that Ishould be called upon to make two speeches on the same day under the same roof is beyond my understanding. What I do understand is that I am much indebted to all of you for the compliment paid me. All I can do is to thank my Lord Mayor for his kind words, and to thank the citizens of Great Britan here pres- ent in the name of my country and myself. I never heard a more perfect speech of its kind than that. There is a charm, a felicity in the turn of one or two of its phrases, that would do credit to the best artists in words—— to Mr. Kinglake or to Mr. ‘Matthcw Arnold themselves. Later in the day at the quiet and almost pri- vate dinner at the Crystal Palace, Mr. Thom- as Hughes asked the company in a few words full of grace and feeling to drink the health of General Grant. Mr. Hughes. took pains to say that the occasion was not formal, and that he did not mean to impose upon his guest the burden of a reply“, GerieralGrant sat looking into-Mg. Huglies'siface}; therewas a moment’s pause, and. then Tthe _ general, 'screwingghimsclf slov'vly up outg‘of his.'chair till he stdodper’ection his feet, said : Mn. HUGIIES: I must none the less tell what gratification it gives me to hear my health proposed in such hearty words by Tom Brown of Rugby. Ido not know what could be better than that. Still later in the evening, during the exhibition of fireworks, General Grant sat silent while his own portrait—a capital like- ness—was drawn in lines of changing flame against the dark background of Beckenham hills. Not a muscle moved; there was not a sign of pleasure at the splendid compliment paid him; not a movement of recognition for the cheers with which the great crowd hailed the portrait. But when this had burned out, and the next piece—a sketch of the building which crowns the heights above the Potomac —was blazing, a slight' smile parted the Gen- ‘eral’s lips as he remarked to Lady Ripon who sat next him: “They have burnt me in effigy and now they are burning the Capitol 1” Of General Grant’s appearance at the Guild- hall, when he rcceived the freedom of . the city of London, Mr. Smalley says: When the general appeared in his sober and peaceful attire, people were not long in form goes to the making up of a great coni- mander. The modesty of General Grant’s bearing amounts almost to shyness, at times, but I heard a bronzcd veteran of the Crimea say that he would pick him out of a thousand for the man he was; that he was a soldier every inch of him. While the city Chamberlain was speaking, General Grant stood in that attitude which I believe is habitual to him ; his head a little sunk between his shoulders and bent forward; the whole figure and face motionless. When it came his turn to reply, he spoke at first with some aslight hesitation—with rather less, I should g, than most Englishmen would have shown—then went straight on to the end, in just that simple, conversational style which Englishmen like, and' of which few Americans are masters. The words came so readily off his tongue that I supposed they had been learned by heart, but, when some of the reporters for the London papers applied for the manuscript, it appeared that not a sentence had been written. The general said that he had found that he could only make a .speech by not thinking of it beforehand.‘ It was, therefore, just what it appeared to be, the natural expression, in fitting terms, of his own feelings; conceived in good taste and delivered with surprising effect on those who heard it. v A Virginia Belle. The “Powhatan estate” was for two hun- dred years the property of the Mayo family, and here, as the story goes, John Howard Payne fell madly in love, when in Rich- mond, with Miss Maria Mayo (afterwards Mrs. General Winfield Scott,) a famous Richmond belle in her day, and remarkable for her wit and intelligence, as well as for her extraordi- nary beanty. Poor Payne laid‘ his heart at her feet, but she is said to have toyed and co- quetted with it, and then to have flung it aside. When all hope, of winning the fair prize was abandoned, Payne went to Europe, where he remained for nearly twenty years, and where he wrote his “Home, Sweet Home,” which was first sung in his opera of “Clare," at London. This traditional inci- dentin the life of Payne revives another (and (She still current in RiclImOnd) connected with General Scott. It is said that when he first addressed Miss Mayo, he was only a cap- tain in the regular army, and his suit was summarily dismissed. Afterward, when a major, be renewed the proffer of his hand, but with no better success. The third time he wore the epaulets of a general, and these promptly secured his acceptance. When asked by one of her friends why she had thus suddenly changed her mind, Miss Mayo is said to have replied: “In my estimation, there is a very decided difference _ between a. captain. or even amajor, and a general in the American army.”—Scribner for July. 0n, iEleonora! WHAT ‘A DAMSEL l—‘She was young and fair, and a tear glistened in her eye as she laid her early head on his shoulder and exclaimed, “Oh,(leorge! I think if I found you did not love me I should die.” “My darling,” he answered, passing his hand gently round her (limpled chin, “I will al- wayslovc you. Do you think I would marry you if I did not feel sure of it? In a few days at the 'altar I shall vow to love you‘all my life, and I will keep my vow." A lovely kind of beautiful happiness played for a mo- ment like sunshine on her lips, and then she whispered, “George, I like to hear you talk like that; you have been so good to me. You have give me a diamond locket and a gold watch and chain,and rings that an angel might wear outside her gloves and not be ashamed ; and if I thought that one day you’d be sorry you’d given me all these nice things and want them back again I should break my heart.” He held her gently against his, manly breast and answered with a quavcri'ng voice, “Oh, my own darling! there is nothing on eiirtli that could happen that would make me repent giving you a few tokens of my love, or make me want them-back again." She sprang from his arms like a joyous deer; she shook back her sunny curls, and, witlia whole poem in her hazel eyes, exclaimed, “Oh, George! you have taken a load from .my heart! I've come to say that I can't marry you after all; be-. cause I’ve seen somebody I like better,':and-I thought you’d want your presents buck again—London Fun. _. A Juvenile Horse Thief.

Tm: TnnrsaANcn MOVEMENT—POLITICAL:— Tnn J lWS-—TENEMENT Houses -Busrxizss STAGNATION—MISSIONARY SomnrisseT‘nn . ‘ WEATHER. NEW YORK, July 2, 1877. mi: TEMPEBANCE novimns'r . . is going on Vigorously. The old law, restrict- ing licenses to sell intoxicating drinks to those keeping inns, and defining inn-keepers to be those persons keeping three beds for the ac- commodation of the public, has been revived, and its performance insisted upon. The big beer saloon under the Tribune building put in three cots, to, conform to the law, and put them in the lowest cellar. A temperance dc- tective, thinking that such a concern would not have the beds, and that an opening would be had for a prosecution, went in one night and demanded lodgings. “All right," said ' the proprietor, “come dis way.” And. down through long, winding cellar-she took him, till, in a dark vault, tlieyicame to three cots, of the hardest, meanest description, and» with rats coursing over them. “You vill duke No. 2,” said the proprietor; “goot night." And he went away, leaving the detective in a place from which no man unacquainted with ,the premises could escape, without a guide. In a doleful mood he passed the night, and in the morning paid his dollar,lhinking it cheap, as he had the company of the rats. The league is working vigorously and to the point. Wherever they can catch a liquor-dealernap- ping. they bring him to book; and, as they have plenty of money and the best legal tal- ent in the city, they are accomplishing sonic: thing. The breaking up of the rings lids lessened the political power of the gin mills, and the politicians are willing to see them go to the wan. (Note for the benefit of all kinds of respectable people.) Politicians at: beginning to court'the favor of decent peo- ple, because the decent people kicked in the traces and refused to follow them,lunlcss they had at least as much attention paid to their wishes as to the demands of the rum sellers. Possibly what is done in New York may be profitably imitated elsewhere. POLITICAL. The President is ' receiving accessions daily. The office-holders who have walk- ed the plank, and those whose heads hang lightly on their shoulders, don’t like him, but the people do. The republicans who have tried to have decent men in Congress and-in the Legislature, but who have been overrid-' den by the trained cohorts of the Custom- House and the Post-Office, whose proprietors had axes of (their own to grind, are rejoiced that this is at last over, and that hereafter the people will have a. chance to be represented as they desire to be. It was a nuisance and. a. curse. The swarm of office-holder‘s mude politics a business, and it was no use for the citizen to undertake to compete with them. Let them turn out at a caucus as freely as ' they might, the machine men laid the number there, men who were never known in their wards, but who acted all the same; and as a consequence the worst, instead of the best men, have represented the city. Hay’es"or- de'r prohibiting federal officials taking part in primary politics gives great satisfaction. It takes out of the political field the elements that were dangerous to the people, and will - g9 agreat ways toward purifying politics. It is a good thing. Of course New York is op- posed to the remo'netizing ’of silver, for the interests of a great commercial city are. al- ways in the direction of keeping faith in the ' spirit as well'as the letter. , The ' production of silver has been so enOrmOus‘ as to lessen its value, and New York'insists that unthing shall be legal tender that is net pat the world over. There.will be no trouble in this city if any attempt is made to have a double. standard, for it would disarrange values to a degree that would be disastrous. Whatever may be the action of the people elsewhere, ' New York will be a unit against anything but'gold. T111: JEWS are still excited about the order excluding them from the summer hotels. Every Rabbi in the city preached on the topic, and to read the papers one would suppose that all the bravery, all the virtue, all. the capacity, and all the good qualities that have ever blessed humanity, were concentrated in the Jews. They may be excused for slopping oversome- what, in view of the insult that was put upon them, but without all this there is much to be said in their favor. There is an enormous population of them in the city, probably‘six’ty thousand. They are the heaviest bankers, the heaviest merchants, and the best financiers in the city. There are thousands of small re- tailers, and thousands of rag 'pi— ckers and all that, among them; but there are no Jew mendicants, and very few J cw criminals. They take care of their poor better than. any other people on the globe; theyare the most charitable and the most enterprising. Here the Jew has had a chance, and he has shown himself to be great in more ways than one. The ghost of Stewart, who is known as Hil- ton, made a grave mistake when he insulted a race of such wonderful capabilities, capacb ty and means. They out too wide a swath. tobe lightly considered or cavalierly used- Tlie'Jews of the country have withdrawn all their trade from the Stewart concern, and it makes a hole in their profits. Harm: nonaxfs. A building six stories high, in which over four hundred people existed, commenced caving in at eleven o'clock in the morning, and at four in the afternoon it fell with a‘ mighty crash, embracing in its ruins ’, Ill , the worldly possessions of the people who inhabited it. Fortunately the-- cracking walls gave timely warning of. their intentiOn to go down, and no lives were lost. use it happened in the night 'the loss of life 'v‘vonld have been terrible. There are 'thOusands of such buildings in the city. the falling of which is a mere matter of time, for .the walls are as thin as they can possibly be and stand, and everything so built as to make the inter- est on the cosine large as possible. The an; thorities have taken it in hand, and an inspection is being made of the tenement houses. Quite n-number 0f them'havébeeu condemned, and thetcnantsofdered to move out. The Owners who are reaping twenty- five per cent. . on this cities of structures are indignant. They don’t see why they should not have the privilege of building any kind of a trap they choose, so that it pays them. ABSOLUTE DULLNxss ‘ pervades the city now. The hot weather brings business to an end'dmd closes'everv- thing except the gin-mills and such churches as are not able to give their pastors salaries large enough to enable them logo to Europe or California. Such pastors find it more in the line of their duty to staya'nd preach the gospel during the hot months. It has been a disastrous year all around. The’ theatres have all lost money, the business men who come out even" consider themselves ’,.1ueky, the bars are all short and everything is stag- nant. It has been a season of economy and cutting down, and the spirit of retrenchment has extended into places when; it would not be looked for. The missro' ' nary societies have done little or nothing, the receipts barely pay- ing the héavy salaries of the officers. Speak- ing Of MISSIONARY socrnrins, one, a society for aiding weak churches, has just published its repert, and funny reading it is. It. has collected during the ward”. 000, and paid out for rent, and salaries to its officers, $17,465, leaving exactly $535 for the aid of weak churches. It???
