The region most subject to drought 'that west ot lliu Mis sissippi and Missouri has had the most regular supply of rain, and the valley of the former has hud an abundant rain-fall to its mouth, while Alabama and (ieorgia have suffered from drought, and the At lantic Suites in a still higher degree, not only throrighnu: the tidewater region, but iu a large portion of lite Eastern Slates. On the Southern Atlantic Seaboard the heat has been greater this yegr,. than in 1868. and the rain I. .11 less. North and east of New York, the heat has been less, as also the ram tall. In the one case it Was too hot, iu the other too cold for corn and other sunnni r crops, which suffered accordingly While the drought has pre vailed east of the Alleghanies, Uic great Mississippi basin has had an unusual amount of rnin. West Virginia and Ohio, alone, of the central area, has less rain- tall in August than in 1868. The ex-J cessive moisture of the summer is sustain- J ed to its close, especially in Wisconsin, j Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri Both the early and 1 he latter rains have been somewhat extraordinary west of the Missouri, yet the high tem perature and deep tliirs'y soils of that re gion have converted flic visitation into a blessing. The drought of the senbomtl has not been equalled in many years.

There will be a reduction in the yield of cotton from the Carolines to Alabama, and a material increase from Mississippi to Texas, Georgia, Florida and rtouth Carolina have suffered most mainly from drought, in a few localities i from rust, the caterpillar and boll-worm. Our estimate make the increase in Mis sissippi, Louisiana and Texas, respective, 10, 12 and 14 prr cent. The prohahili ties at present favor a yield of 2,7.0,000 bales. Wjjbat. This crop as a whole is large. The only States showing a decrease are Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and California. Some of it is inferior iu quality, and a considerable portion has been injured by rains after harvest, but a considerable portion of the Western wheat is of good quality, and that of the South decidedly superior. Stock Hogs. There is not only a re- -diic t ion in the number of stock. JiogfibuL. also in llie condition. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota, rapidly grow ing Slates, have made an increase in num bers, as have some of the Southern States. There is apparently a decrease, as com pared with last year, of five to ten per cent. BARNUM'S BRICK MAN. As an illustration of Barn'um's habit of iraking everything tell to his account, Barniun relates the following anecdote as an illustration : One morning a stout, and heart v -look- ! ing man came into my ticket-office at the came interested in tbe little waif, and all Museum Snd begged some money. I ask- were eager to adopt it. No one asked, ed him why he did not work and earn his "W ho was her father 1 Who was her living I lie replied that he could gel mother!" but all were anxious to take the notning to do, and that be wonld be glad position of father or mother.

This plan will be larand half a day. When he returned, I acted upon, and the terras are cash the gave him five common bricks. j nioney to be a bonus for her benefit, lobe "Now," said I, "go and lay a brick on placed iu bank at compound interest, and the sidewalk at the corner of Urnadway and Ann strret; another clow by the Mu seum ; a third diagonally aciwss tbe war at the corner of Broadway and v eeey sts on the sidewalk in front of Saint Paul's Church, opposite ; then, with the fifth brick at everv point, aud suy nothing to any one." "What is tha object of this ?" enquired the man. "No matter," I replied, "all yon need to know is, that it brings you fifteen sent I wages per hour. It is a bit of my fun, ! and to assist me properly you must seem I to be as deaf as a post, pay no attention to any one, but attend lurthtully to the I work, and at the end of yery hour by St i Paul's clock show this ticket at the Mu seum door, enter, walking solemnly thro' every hall in 1 h.- building , pass out, and resume your work " "With the remark that It was all one to him, so long as he could earn his living," the iuan nNccd his brick and began his found.

At the end or the firs', hour the sidewalks in the vicinity were parked with the people, all anxious o solve the mystery.

The affair was ebon nois ed about, and ihe child became an object n( jrreirt cnriosiTy.

An interesting time was anticipated at the alr and lite fabulous foundling wuT doubtless bring pm GROWTH OF LICENTIOUSNESS. The New York Slur is stToeked at the rapid stride of licentiousness among us as visible especially in the indecent pic- lures and pictorials that meet tbe eye in every direction, to say nothing of the nu dities of the modem drama. It says : The mere display of the human term in vsrious stages of partial clotbiug (tbe edi tor thinks) it reprehensible or not, accord ing us evil intention in the exhibitor can or cannot be observed. It is an open question wbetbsr the nudity of c taste statues of the Qrcciau type do not promote morality. Hut we have certainly taken a great stride downward when pictorials containing pictures that appeal to the taste of the lov.-e.-t class of picture buyers, are paraded alongside the uuexceptiuuable pe riodicals. Tim-, step by step, the purest people are driven from their various sour ces of amusement. 1 hey cannot guze in to windows containing these and similar pictures. I hey cannot attend tie a res because there they seo these same dis plays in the living form. They cannot go to tbf opera, because the victories of evil are there sung by sirens ot melodious nc ceut. They cannot go to balls, because they begin at an hour when they should close, and the dancing, instead of being the healthy exercise it should be, and in -ri ad of simply offering a natural method of mental and ph sical contact between the sexes, is impoited from places wbere the better impilsesof nature are generally scoricd at. 1 he day of ruritanism is passed ; but in throwing Cromwell over, let us not take up with Charles II.

Sentinel has the following : It is now forty years ago or more that the dead body of a stranger was found in the woods near Ston vbrook bridge, about one mile to the east of Pennington, a vil lage ot this county. The body was found iu a sitting posture against a beach tree The face was distorted, the eyes protru ding as though the dead man bad died in agony. His hat lay a few feet from lum His dress denoted one in comfortable cir cumstances. lie was a stranger, and no one ever rememberedto have seen him. 1 here was no money upon the coipse. The body, without special examination was buried we forget where. There wire no wounds upon it, aud no evidence of violence. And now comes tbe strange elucidation of the cuse. A few days since an acci dent placed in our bauds a copy of the Manchester (England) Guardian. In that number we found the dying confession of a man named Daniel II tilseman, acknowl edging to a murder perpetrated forty years ago iu the State of New Jersey, United States of America. The murderer was acquainted with his victim in the old coun try and came out about one year before him. Hulseman was a tauncr, and work ed iu New York. When Eberhart came over he sought out his old acquaintance. , die had about .200 in money. On pretence of examin ing the country and purchasing land, Hul Semnn started with Eberhart on a tour through New Jersey. He had with him A flask of poisoned brandy, as he had resolved to murder his friend for his money. They first stopped at Princeton, and then concluded to walk across the intervening nine miles to Pen nington, the weather being pleasant, and public travel being greatly circumscribed When within a mile of the latter place they s'epped over into woods, under a tree, to partake of some victuals they had pi oenred before starting. Hulseman then pissed his flask to his companion, who drank liberally, and died within an hour thereafter in fearful agony, Hulseman looking on the while. He then robbed him of his1 money and set him up agaiust the tree as before described. Xi. There are still old men about Princeton who will remember this event. It seems almost marvellous that after a lapse ol forty years that this affair should have come to light by a deathbed confession, ,'i,000 miles I com the place of commission. Aud' yet it is even so. CURIOSITES OF MEMORY. Strength of memory has ever been high ly esteemed, from the days of the Ro mans to our time. Pliny mentions it fre quenty as one of the highteetqualfications of his most talented friends The perfec tmn " to which this power- - was passed by some of the ancients must be called in creditable. A Greek philosopher is men tioned in an old letter who after delivering long harangue extempore could repeat it again without losing a word. Senaca says that iu his younger days he could repeat two thousand names exactly in the same order they were read to him, aud to test Ins power ot acquirement and retention the audience who attended the same professor with himself would eaeh of them give bim a verse, which he would each of them f them give him a verse whieh he would instantly repeat, begin ning with the last and so on to the first, to tlfe amount of two hundred. He tells a pleasant story upon the occasion qf a certaiu poetwho having read a poem in public, a person who was present claim ed it for bis own, and, in proof of the assertion, repeated it word for word, wbich the actual author could -not do. The isme trick is said to have been played upon Voltaire by the king of Prussia, who placed an Englishman behind a screen when tbe poet read a new poem of considerable length. The Englishman repeated the verses correctly, much to the author's amazement, and claimed them for his own. The king enjoyed the joke greatly, am) for some time wonld not explain his ttrategem. , Any number of instances might be taken from the ancients to the same pur pose, Temistoclea was master of the Per sian language in year's time. Miihri dese understood as many tongnes as ha commanded nation!, wbich numbered twenty-two. Cyrus retained the name of every soldier in hi army. Asistidet could name every citizen in Athens : and Tully says of Cesar iu his oration of Ligariuns, "that he never forgot anything but an injury." A Western Temperance Lectc reb.

A Spict Postmaster There is in the State of Nebrasba a post- office estab lished at an "aromatic" point named Pep pervilto The name is suggestive of some thing above the ordinary degree of warmth and to fill the position of presiding genius at such an establishment required the host lo be equally fiery as the location named. Several applicants. have already submitted claims before the department for the pesi- 1 tion, among whom was one bearing tbe I singular cognomen of Strong Pepper. This named applicant had certainly a re commendation in his name, it not bis sup porters, and was on Tuesday commission ed to preside as postmaster over the afore said village of Pepper vil le. -Ii Strong Pepper is not capable of collecting and distributing the mails in Pepper v die, who bas stronger claim to the position t A FaENcn Stout. In 1760 a gen tleman was passing. late at night, over Pont Neuf, Paris, with a lantern. A man came op to him and said : "Read this paper." He held his lantern, and read as fol lows : "Speak not a word when this you read. Or in sn instani you'll be dead ! Give op yonr money, watch and rings, With other valuable things Then quick in silence, you depart, Or with a knife I'll cleave your heart I" Not being a man of much pluck, the affrigbtcitod gentleman gave up his watch and money and ran off. He soon gava tbe alarm, and tbe highway man was ar rested. "What have you to say for yourself?" inquired the magistrate before whom tho robber was arraigned. "That 1 am not guilty of . rubbery . 1 hV I took the watch and money." " Why not guilty t" asked the magis trate. " Simply because I can neither read nor write. I picked up that paper just at the moment I met this gentlemen with a lantern. Thinking it might be something valuable I politely asked bim to read it to me. He complied with my request, and presently banded me his watch and purse. and ran. I supposed the paper to be of great value to bim, and he thus liberally re warded me for finding it. He gave iri no time to thank him, which act of politt uess I was ready to perform." The gentleman accepted the plea of tie robber, and withdrew his complaint. More Trouble in thb Episcopa. Chcrch. There are rumors of a direfu war in tbe Episcopal Church, to burst forth upon tbe meeting of the annual con vention of the Diocese of New York thi fall. A demand for an examination into the strange worship carried ou at St. Al ban's is to be made the oceision for a re newal of the war upon Ritualism by a sturdy party of conservative Low Church men. Dr. Ewer's Christ Church servi ces, which are in keeping with his belief iu tbe "failure of Protestanism," are also to have an overhauling, if the Low Church party prove strong enough, Fath er Morrell, of St. Alban's and Dr. Ewer are to be treated to the same kind of trial by an ecclesiastical court as young Tyng was subjected to ; and such is the confi dence of the anti Ri'.ualists that they talk even of calling Bishop Potter to account for giving sanction by bispresenceon one occasion a year ago in the Catholic servi ces of St. Alban's. This, however, ia mere blnster, which the Tyng party feel it safe to indulge in, as it is well known the Bishop will not be present on account of a severe illness. Neteark Adv. "y A lawyer once came into court drunk ; when tbe judge said to him, "Sir, I am sorry to see you in a situation wbich is a disgrace to yourself and family, tho court, and the profession to which you be long." The reproof elicited the following colloquy : "Dia your honor speak to me" "I did, sir: I said, sir, in my opinion, you disgrace yourself and family, tbe court, and the profession by your course of con duct. "May Ukit please your honor ; I have been an attorney t-i-in this court for fifteen years ; and permit me to say that this is the first correct opinion I ever knew you to give J" lJT The Petersburg Index, thus draws balmy from the wounds produced by tha great drouth : ( ) After all, however, there is good reason to believe that even such drought hs as wo have, are not unmitigated calamities. In nearly all the operations of nature there is a law of compensation for apparent ir regularities. In the process ot evapora tion by which the soil and subsoil, to- the. depth of several feet, are exhausted of their moisture, the fertilizing mineral in gredients of a lower stratum are brought to the surface in a state of solution, and there deposited for the benefit of- future crops Who can' resist the conclusion that has observed the astonishing progress of vegetation on the recurrence of rains after a long period of dry weather t A singular compensation holds good in the case of overflows. In our laige water courses, such as the James and Roanoke, a destructive freshet occurs about once in every seven years ; but on the subsidence of the waters a rich sediment iB left which, in the course ol the next six years, makes up for the loss.
