THE SMITH-MORRIS RACE. !Boston, July 1.
The single scull race for $500 aside, be- tween Warren Smith, of Halifax, and Evan Morris, of Pittsburg, distance 3 miles,— mile and a half and return, took place at Silver Lake th’s afternoon.
About a thousand persons witnessed the contest, which p-oved very exciting.
The water was as smooth as glass.
After two false starts, the refree, George Faulkner, gave the word
ce Go.”’
Morris immediately shot to the front, keeping the lead until half a mile was reached, when Smith, by increasing his stroke, shoved the bow of his boat in front of that of Morris.
At this time Smith was rowing about 36 strokes to the minute; Morris, 34.
Three-quarters cf a mile from the start both the men were even.
From this point, Smith again gradually gained, and at the mile point he led by one length.
Both turned about even, the difference, if any, being in favor of Morris. The latter led all the way down until within an eighth of a mile from the finish, when Smith put on a beautiful spurt, passing Morris and winning by half a length of clear water, in the
FASTEST TIME ON RECORD, 21.05, next best being that made by Han- lan at Philadelphia, in 1876, viz. , 21.09.

The giant powder magazine at Mow- bray’s Nitro-Glycerine Works exploded this afternoon, k‘lling Jack Pierce and Wm. Long, who were in the building mixing blasting powder. Their bodies were blown to atoms. The neighboring buildings of the works were badly shattered.
An unknown lady, about 75, while walk- ing on the track near Stratford, Conn., was k:lled by a Nongatuck train this morning. $544 were found on her person.

The ‘‘Evening News” says that in Catho- lic clerical circles in*this city the question of appointment of a new American Cardinal has been the subject of discussion some weeks. It is state(l on the authority of a well-known ecclesiastic that America will shortly be honored in this way. It is thought that the west will be favored ‘and that Quebec, Canada, may alse be, honored.

The Crops of the United States. The June report of the Agricultural Department show that the acreage of the oats has decreased4 per eent. The general average is 81 against 103 last year. The condition unfavorable in nearly all sections ofthe Union. The decrease in the acreage ef rye is about 4 percent. New England is full. New York is only 80 and Pennsy]l- vania 88. Barley is low. The general average is 85, while in 1878 it was 102. Corn is backward, owing to drought. In five or six localities the seed did not ger-
minate. The condition of clover is very low all over the country, except in the New England States and _ those
bordering on the Gulf of Mexico. The prospect for a good crop of fruit is gloomy. The late frosts were fatal in many regions. There will be a short crop of apples. The average is low, except in New England. The crop in all the Atlantic States is fair. In the Gulf States the yield will only be half of afull crop. Peaches suffered most from the frosts of May. In the Eastern States, and particularly in those where the culture is a specialty, the crop is represented as good, but in tie Atlantic States south of Virginia it is a failure, and that is the case in the States bordering on the Ohio River, except ina few localities. California will have a full crop.

A Canadian officer, Major H. G. Elliot, who hails from Lambten County, in Ontario, has gene out to the Cape as one of Sir Garnet Wolsley’s right-hand men. Major Elliott first distinguished himself at a fearful hurricane that wrought great de- vastation at Balaklava during the Crimean war. Asa result of his early’ Canadian life, he was able in one instance to be of great use. The mud in the Crimea was so deep thatfit freyvently took twenty-four horses to draw a single cannon. Elliott made some rough ‘‘stone boats” out of planks, and a‘ter the carnons were loaded en, three or four horses in each instance ceuld easily do the work of the twenty-four. The officer in command and Old Country newspapers paid Elliot a high compliment at the time after which he was chosen Adjutant of a | battalion before Sebastopcl. For the past ‘four years he has travelled Sonth Africa, (and is thoroughly acquainted with the |country where the war is now raging. He has had the honour of the Order of St. Michael and St. George conferred upon him, and is in possessien of sevéral medals. In Major Elliot the British commander will possess an excellent specimen of a Canadian soldier.

The Movements of the Governor- General.
THE SUCCESS OF THE PRINCESS AS AN ANGLER, ETC.
The cerrespondent ef the ‘‘ Telegraph ” at Dalhousie telegraphs the arriva! at that place of the Governor-General by the ‘* Druid” on Monday, at 11 o’elock, a. m. His Excellency and suite landed, and were
received by George Haddew, Esq., M. P., and other prominent citizens. In company with Mr. Haddow the Governor-General visited the principal points of interest about the harber. He expressed himself delight- ed with Dalhousie, which must have re- minded him of some of the most romantic- ally situated towns in Scotland. He ex- pressed regret, hewever, at the want of railway connecticn with the Intercolonial, suggesting that a rwrrow guage read might, if necessary, be attempted. After a short visit at the residence of M>. Haddow, the party embarked and the ‘‘ Druid” sailed at the 3p.m. The Margqris and suite are to land at New Richmond and visit the Cascapedia river for ashort time. He inti- mated his intention of paying Dalhousie a visit next summer. A despatch from Me- tapedia, dated July 1st, contains the follow- ing additional and very interesting news :—
‘Major DeWinton avrived from Camp- bellton by special train at 8.30 a. m., yes- terday, and was met here by Captain Har- berd, A. D. C., who returned te Campbell- ton by the same train, to join the Governor General’s party on board the Drnid. This steamer sailed for Gaspe, and w'll probably be absent four or five days, after which His Exceller:cy retrns to Quebec by train.
‘*The Princess has been enjoying herself very much since her arrival at the Chain of Rocks on Saturday. Sunday was a very quiet, theugh a ph asant day, as the Prin- cess visited one cr two families near the Vice-Regal camp and gave these poor
people tangible reasens for remembering -
with gratitude the visit of the Queen’s daughter to their humble homes.
‘On Monday the Princess captured another fine salmon, after playing him three quarters of an heur,
‘* To-night the party are making prepata- tions to break camp at an early hour to- morrow and will leave Metapedia by special train for Assametquaghan station, where they expevt to stop and fish the Metapedia river for three or four days.
‘* Tt seems quite probable that H. R. H. will be joined at this place by the Marquis and Duke of Argyle the latter part of this week, and the whole party will then pro- ceed te Quebec together.
‘*The Duke of Beaufort and Sir John Reid arrived here to-night from Rimouski and will remain at Fraser Hotel for some days.
‘* The weather to-day is very fine and salmon fishing good, nine having been taken in the pool and others hooked but not landed.”

Cyprus Under English Rule.
The official ‘‘ Correspondence respecting complaints made against the Government of Cyprus,” presented to both House of Parliament, is being discussed in the Eng lish papers. It revee's some phases of Eastern life. Sir Garnet Wolseley enclosed to the Marguis of Satisbrry a thorough reply from Col. Warren to the charges of the Bishop of Citirn, showing that his reverence had been hurt at the same measure ef justice hay'ng been meted out to bishops and priests as to others of the population. The bishop had been forced to pay taxes and fines which he had dared the Colonel to collect, and which had been decreed by a courtin which his own repre- sentative sat. Col, Warren observes : ‘“The Bishop of Citium gave me an infinity of trouble ; he-was determined not to pay revenues en the lands of monasteries. I[ found it necessary to teach his Reverence that the law must be obeyed and a great scandal removed. When he found the law was too strong, and paid up his dues, | called on him, #md did all in my pewer to reinstate him in his position, which he said he had lost. He cajled himself ‘a ruin.’” Sir G. Wolseley enclosed a letter from the Archbishep of Cyprus, who says that the Bishop of .Citium ought to apologise to Celonel Warren. The story of a Greek gentleman having been imprisoned and fined £25 for having speken slightingly of the British is declared to be-a base inven- tion.

The crime of arson seems to be sucha dreadful crime that the natural feeling is to believe that its occurrence is very rare, In some respects it seems to be worse than murder, for it may include murder. And even for murder there may be at least the palliation of sudden anger, of revenge, of jealousy, any one of which may have tempted to it. But the intendiary lights his torch against a whole peeple. He be- comes the enemy of the entire community, and his crime may result in the death of children, women or men, and involve the destruction of the property of those against whom he can have nocomplaint. Still, it
preally does seem as if Carleton was suffer-
ing from incendialism, and that there is at least one person there who seems deter- mined to de much injury. Since the burn- ing of the Free Will Baptist Church there have been several fires, supposed te have incendiary origin, and the last two or three, occuring in the same week, are certainly calculated to create much alarm,— Globe,
