A W.?IL FROM TH/" COLORED
BROTHES.-The New Ycrb Globe,
published by colored men, in New j
York city, has attracted some stten-1
tion, owing to the novelty of the un !
der taking and its surroundings. The !
foi lowing is taken from a recant issue:1
"Pennsylvania's colored population
of S5.535 is a? completely ignored by
j the politicians as if it did not con
tain 30,000 colored voters, while tho
colored population of" New York,
J numbering about 65,000 sculn, with H \
i voting force of 25,000, enters no more
into the calculation of politicians
here than if it was a disfranchised
element. Massachusetts Is the only
one of these States, ar far as we !
know, where a colored man has been
I honored with a seat in the Legisla- j
ture. We live in a state of masterly
inactivity and aro as happy and un
I ooncerned as though we were a sim- j
j pie iota. Here and there some rest- j
j less soul wrings from the avaricious !
! grasp of a ward politician a five del- !
i lar bill for political services o: a j
highly questionable nature, but on j
j the whole the tide of favor flows over ;
j us as water slides of: a duck's back." j
I Such straws ss this point their own '.

j story told me by Mr. Handy, cf Phil- j

; between Senator Vance of North Car- j
I olina, ard Governor Hoyt, of Penn- j
[sylvania, a? Yorktown, one o: whom
! had been in the Rebel army and the !
1 other in the Union army. There wes ;
j a saloon convenient, into which they j

"I don't believe it," said Vance.
.'Sound me," said Hoyt.
"What is the chic: end of mau '. 1
said Yance.
"To glorify God,"' replied Hoyt .
"Fight." '
Then said Hoyt to Yance: "How
many question* are there in the Oat- j
echism ?"
"One hundred and thirty-eight."
"Right," said Hoyt.
"What is sin?" said Yance.
Hoyt rattled out the entire defmi- ?
tion of th* Westminster divine, and j
Yance cried:

j cn?wrA. The estimate? given are
baft?d upon 175 replies, covering
everycounty in i he State. With
very few exception* the correspond
er ta report that the weather h&a been
unfavorable for cotton and corn, but
favorable for other crops:
Cotton.-On the let of Slay the
correspondente reported that 47 per
cent, of the crop was up. The growth
of the plant during the past month
has bean greatly retarded by cool
j weather, and in many sections it has
been seriously injured from the same
cause, necessitating replanting. The
stands are, therefore, pot good in any
section of the Stare." Tee plant ie
generally reported as unhealthy,
sniah and looking badly. The con
dition, compared to rh? average, ie
reported for the State at 87, against
92 for t.he corresponding period last
year.
Corn.-Corn has also been affected
by the unfavorable seasons, the plant
! not being in as healthy a condition,
j nor the growth of the plant cs hardy
I and vigorous as it would have heen
: with more propitious weather. Some
damage by "bud" worms is reported,
but no oiharjseriorte injury has so far
been sustained from this cause. The
present prospects indicate an average
crop, at least, with favorable seasons.
The condition is reported at 99,
against S4 for the same date laet
year.
Wheat.-Wheat was being rapidly
harvested at the date of the rep orte,
and the prospects was 8 per cent?
above an annual yield. This will
give for the State 1,743,000 bushels.
OAC?.-The yield of cato will be
almost unprecedented ic the history
of the State. The acreage was lar
ger than for any previous year
and the reports ?how that 30 per
cent, above an average is anticipated.
Based ?'.pen these estimates the yield
for the Stare will be 8,479,528
bushels.
Rice.-The rice crop has felt the
effects of the coot nights. In the
lew conotry the growth ot the plant
hus beer, severely checked, and it is
reported yellow and sickly. The

troublesome thia season. TBS condi
tion for the State ie reported at 92,
against 83 for the same period in '81.
Rye and Barley.-Very little at
tention i*i given to either rye or bar
ley. They are only planted in small
"patches" about the farms that are
not in every way suited to other pur
poses. The reports show that one
per cent, above ah average yield for
both rye and barley is expected.
Sorghum and Sugar Cane.-The
condition of sorghum is reported at
99, and sugar cane at 100.
Potatoes.-The acreage in sweet
potatoes has been increased 12 per
cent, over 1881. The number of acree
devoted to this crop is 40,389. The
condition is reported at 0.3 per cent
above an average. The acreage ia
Irish potatoes has also increased 12}
per cent, over last year. The num
ber of acres is 3,619 for the State,
The condition of the crop is reported
at 13 per cent, above an average.
Fruit.-The prospects for an aver
age yield of the various frui?s as fol
lows: Apples 92; peaches 111; pears
92; grapes 103; berries 107.
Haiden products.-The weather
has been very favorable-for all the
products of the garden, and the con
dition for the State ie reported at 10
above an average.
