such fire had ever before been witnessed in Jersey City.

One man, a machinist, entered the buildings near the commencement for tools, and, it is feared, perished. The fire lasted two boors, and it is estimated that the property destroyed amounted to one and a half million oi dollars. All the property, excepting the tools, is insured.

A significant tact connected wi(h the fire is that, at the late strike, all the Jersey City men were notified that they wouldnt be again employed. This threat vvns carried out. The employers were from New York. FROM INDIANA. Indianapolis, July 25.

Improvement in the condition of wheat is reported from -New York, Maryland, Fennsyl vania, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, and to a slight degree in come other, states, while a small decline is reported in Ohio and some of the Southern states. The averages in the winter wheat the States stand as follows Connecticut 94; New York 78; New Jersey 69; Pennsylvania 69; Delaware 75; Maryland Virginia 99; North Carolina 112; South Carolina 103; Georgia 102; Alabama 116; Mississippi 108; Texas 14; Arkansas 106; Tennessee West Virginia 95; Kentucky 112; Ohio 75; Indiana 88; Missouri 66. Of the states producing almost exclusively spring wheat. Maine 108; New Hampshire 102, Vermont 104; Wisqon-sin 101; Minnesota 110; Iowa 108; Nebraska 112; Oregon 95; California, which is not fully reported? 120 for early sown, and 112 tor late; Kansas, spring 95, and winter 60; Illinois, spring 104, winter 92; Michigan, spring 98, winter 81. The average couditiou for the United States is almost exactly the same in June, or 94, six per cent, les than the average.

The quality of tin grain is uniformly superior in the Mid die States. In Ohio, Michigan and Missouri, and wherever inferior condition is reported, the straw is short, but the heads generally long and well filled, and the kemal plump and' heavy the quality of southern wheat will probably prove as fine as any ever produced in that section. In threshing the fullness I of the heads, in proportion to the qnano tity of straw, causes the yield to exceed thB general expectation, and may go far to offset the small decrease reported. It is quite probable that the general excellence of the grain will make the present crop ol eqnal value to that of last year. There has been almost an entire exclusion from rust, and comparatively little complaint of insects.

The Hessian fly is reported in several places, but more numerously in the Ohio valley. The chinch bug has caused loss in many counties ot Illinois, Io wa and Missouri.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands Though heart were weary and sad.

Those patient hands kept toiling on. That children might be glad. 1 almost weep, as looking back To childhoods distant day, I think how those hands rested not While mine were at their play. Such beautiful, beautiful hands Theyre growing-feeble now; For time and pain have left their work On hand, and heart, and brow. Alas 1 alas 1 the nearing time.

And the sad, sad day to me, When. neath the daisies, out of sight. These hands will folded be. Bat beyond this shadowy damp. Where all is bright and fair, I know fall well these dear old hands Will palms of victory bear Where crystal streams, thro endless yeare Flow over goldeD sands.

FROM MISSOURI. St.

Louis, July 22. The following correspondence was read by Carl Schurz in his speech to-night: St. Louis, June 1872. Dear Sir. In your letter of acceptance, you promise a thorough reform in the civil service, but only in general terms.

The question of bow the problem of civil service reform presents itself to youj mind, is one of great interest, und I suggest, ifait be consistent with your views of propriety, that you give me such explanations as will put your intentions in this respect, in a a clear light. C. Schurz. The following is Mr. Greeleys reply New York, July 5, 1872.

My Dear Sib Yours of the 26th ultimo, only reached me three days ago. I respond as promptly as I may. Tbe problem of the civil service is rendered difficult by an alliance between the Executive and Legislative branches of our Federal Government. Those members of Congress, who favor the cause and are recorded a virtual monopoly of the Federal offices in tbeir respective districts, dietas ting appointments ahd removals as int terest or caprice my suggest. The President appoints at their bidding, they legislative in subservience to to his will, -often in opposition to their own 'convictions.

Unless all history is unmeaning, this confusion of executive and legislative responsibilities and func tions, could not fail to dishonor and corrupt the body politic. I hold the eligibility of our President to re-election the main souce of this corruption. A President should be above hope of future favor, or the fear of alienation of powerful and ambitious partizsns. He should be the official chief not of Party but of the Republic. He should dread nothing but tbe accusing voice of history and the inexorable judgmenjt of God.

He should fully realize and never forget that Congress in its own sphere is paramount find in po wise amenable to his supervision, and that the heartiest good-will to bis administration is perfectly compatible with the most-pointed dissents from his inculcations in the very gravest questions in finance or political economy. It is the first step that coBts, and let it be settled that a President is not to be reaeleeted white in office, and civil service reform is no longer difficult. He will need no organs, no subsidized defenders. He will naturally select his chief counsellors from among the ableBt and wisest of bis eminent fellow -citizens, regardless. alike of the shrieks of locality and the suggestions of a selfish policy.

He will have no interest to conciliate No chief of a powerful clan to attach to his personal fortune. He will be im polled to appoint, as will none deny, that he should appoint men of ripe experience in business, and of eminent mercantile capacity, to collect, keep and disburse the revenue, instead ol dexterous manipulators of primary meetings, and skilllul trafficis in delegates to nominating conventions. He Will thus transform the civil service of toe country from a party machine into a business establishment. No longer an aspirant to place, the PrAident will naturally aim to mount and secure the approbation of the entire -people, but especially of the eminently wise and good. As to the machinery of the Boards of Examiners, whereby (he details of the civil service reform are to toe matured and perfected, defer to the judgment of a Congress, unpefverfed ty tfie adulterous commerce in legislation and appointments, which have already and reprehended Up to this time our experience of the doings of boards; in this direction has not been encouraging, and this I am confident ia not the fault of the gentlemen who have tried to serve the public, as Commissioners.

Inasmuch as they may have failed, the causes of their ill-suceess must be extrinsic. Had they been accorded a fair field I am sure they would have wrought to a better purpose. An observer haa said that the spirit in which we work is the chief matter, and we can never achieve civil service reforms until the interests which demand it; shall be more patient in our public cpunsels than those which resht, even while seeming to favor It. That this consummation is not distant, I fervently trust, in the meantime, thanking you for your earnest and effective labors to this end. lSf4 I remain-yours, V- C' Horace Greeley.
