Rye is an abundant crop, and wheat is also ood. Throughout Germany the winter an spring sowing are in marked contrastâ€"the former yielding good crops and the latter very defective ones. All crops are very late this year also. Oats are a very good crop. but barley is thin on the ground and the grain is not heavy. None of the crops are an average. In the Prussian States the reports on the crops are by numbers, 100 bein taken as repre- senting an average crop: heat, 80 ; r o. 77; barley. 89 ; oats. 89 ; peas and smal er‘ crops. 83 ; and potatoes. 95. These figures are also as near as possible an average of the crops of the whole of Germany. the crops are spoken of as all round good, wheat and barley being both above the average. Rye is very much, and oats slightly. under average. The reports from Italy all so in describing the crops of a medium 0 araoter, and much below the abundance of 1880. The markets, too, are calm and prices feeble. 0t wheat the quality promises to be good, but under the ordinary weight. Oats are good in quan- tity and quality. although the grain is not so plump as last year. But little barley is grown, but where it is, it is this year of bad: color. and lacking in weight. Rye is goodw and abundant, and will be the crop of the year. Fromthe Turkish provinces on the Danube comes the statement that this year’s wheat harvest will be of a medium character and .the qualities of the grain various... Rye will be good and abundant. Barley is yielding a good crop for quantity, both color and weight are bad. Oats here will be very much above the average. All the are described asâ€"wheatlo per cent. below average and likely to realize only about 10 million quarters; barley, 19 per cent. above average ; oats, 20 per cent. below average, and the year is described asa poor one.and one‘ in which farmers ‘will not be likely, even though with a market bare of supplies. wheat is now making a very high price, to recoup themselves for any of their losses of the past five years, even where they do not add to them. and very bad in 2.

And rye at the same ‘ time was reported as very good in 11 depart- ments, good in 53, fairly good in six and medium in three. From the whole of these figures it will be seen that the crops of this year are not up to those of last year, but that wheat is not much below the crop of an average year.

'The manager of the prosecution before the ecclesiastical court was the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst. and he displayed holy zeal in his work. In his closing address he charged home with great heat upon the accused. breaking at times into that flamhuo ant eloquence which some western press are of Methodism enjoy. ,jeering at his theo- logical heresies. and accusing him of de- bauchin the outh of Chicago by under- mining t eir aith in orthodox Methodism. The Rev. Dr. Thomas himself was a witness in his own behalf; but his testig mony only riveted the charges against him. ‘ One or two things are especially worth taking notice of. In the first place. though all the charges against him were sus- tained. the vote of the nine cler~ gymen who acted as jurors in the trial was not by any means unanimous. His views upon the atonement were pro- nounced unorthodox by a majority of only one vote; the vote on inspiration was six to three; his tendency to Universalism alone had a nearly unanimous condemna~ tionâ€"ei ht to as). ‘It appeared also from other in ications during the trial that there were other heretics at his kind among the clergymen in the conference.

Dr. Thomas wished was . a vindicationoi his heresy. when he would ‘ snap his lingers in their laces and march l down in triumph to his audience at the 1 theatre. again brought up at the Annual Conference, when the final judgment will be delivered. The heresy of the Rev. Dr. Thomas related to three of the fundamental doctrines of Protestant orthodoxy that are maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Churchâ€"the doctrinesof Scriptural inspiration,the atone- ment and an eternal hell. There was a great deal of testimony, mainly frond his own ser- mons and conversations, to show his heterodoxy upon these doctrines. He had said that all parts of the Bari tures are not of equal inspiration and au ority, or critically infallible; that any one expecting to go to heaven through Christ’s merits would find himself not there; and that the idea of God sending a soul to eternal pun- ishment was all bosh. This is a rather singular sort of language for the Rev. Dr. i Thomas; but he seemstobe aman who‘ indulges in a great deal of it. In addi- tion to the words just quoted” we find him saying that the orthodox dogma of the atonement is a " butcher theory; " that " if the Methodist Church did not throw over a good part of the Old Testament it would sink her ;" that a "soul might re ent evenin hell ; " that he “ didn’t believe at old Joshua's sun ever stood still, or that‘such a man as old Job ever lived;” and that “ no sane man could believe the Bible as a whole." It seemsto usthat both by his printed sermons and by the testimony of witnesses to his language the charges against him were fully proved, and that, if the Methodist Episcopal Church desires to be accounted an' orthodox Pro. testaut body, his expulsion from its minis- tryjs necessary. The Chicago papers had very full reports of the trial for heresy of the Rev. Dr. Thomas, which ended on Friday of last week, and these reports we have duly read. The Rev. Dr. homes. one of the foremost clergyman o the Methodist Episcopal Church in Chicago, was held guilty, adjudged a heretio and suspended from the ministry by the ecclesiastical court before which he was tried, but his case is to be do on refer to?" “ Why.

Another man weosted us: " Your liver is all right now. is it 7" “ Yes, air; but you are an entire stranger to us, and it you presume to ask us another such question as that your nose won’t be all right."

The crowd was very indignant at the man for assaulting one just back from death’s door as we were. That drove us wild. We demanded an ex- planation and got it.

No one, man. woman or child, who had the privi- lege of being present. can ever forget what was seen, or can fail to feel pride and plea~ sure in the spectacle. Least of all can these emotions have been absent from Her. Majesty. She has witnessed many demon- strations of the loyal attachment of her subjects; she never saw one more striking or convincing than that upon which‘ she looked on Thursday. More than in the thunderous cheering by which she was everywhere welcomed. was this loyal attachment displayed in the presence of the mighty crowd covering the most picturesque part of_ her island possessions. _ pose of aggression; they were there as men to whom the defence of their hearths and homes was a sacred duty. They were summoned to settle no intestine quarrel, nor to gratify any passing whim. Not a man was there who had not come of his own accord, desirous to show his Queen that she had what is better than walls of brassâ€"the unbought loyalty and devotion of men who wish to ‘preserve the rights, and liberties, and freedom of their country. No Sovereign in the world save Queen Victoria could look. on such a sight. at least in his own land. That great army was the product of no conscription, of no system of forced mili~ tary service. It was the upgrowth of real patriotism, acting by itself for great and worthy ends. Not'many weeks ago the Queen had similar homage paid to her in England. She saw then how citizen sol- diers could be trained, or could train them- selves, for the defence of their country, and how ready they Were to stand forward in such a cause. Scotland tells her, in even more emphatic tones. the same thing, and makes of agreat military spectacle a grand moral and national lesson. . The Gm! Review by ller Majesty of the Scam-h Volunteers.

The c ty has often aforetime card the crash of- arms in anger and in spgrt. Armies have marched through her streets and have encamped near to her. Fierce struggles have taken place at her gates. Monarchs have been her citizens. and they have been surrounded by all the “ pride, mp and circumstance of glorious war.” 13%: never at an time was monarch more warmly welcome than she who came from Holyrood; never had a monarch a brighter or braver surrounding; and never was the tramp of armed men heard with less fear and more pleasure. There was nothing in the weather to add to the bril- liancy of the spectacle. Before the review beganâ€"that is, before Her Majesty passed along the lineâ€"a cold, driving. heavy rain had begun to fall, and continued all through the military movements and long into the night. But the weather might be forgotten or willingly borne in view of the marvellous character of the event of the day, and it will only be recalled as adding to the force of the military lesson that was taught. The Queen had cause for delight in what she saw, as thousands of men marched before her. To many of them their presence meant long travel, unwanted (privation. severe fatigue. The forty thousan men who were grouped in companies and battalions in the Queen's Park yesterday were not gathered wholly or chiefly at the gates of Edinburgh. They came from far-oil Sutherland and Gaith- ness; from Ross 'and Inverness; from stormy Argyllshire, and the wave-beaten Hebridean Isles. Their presence was at once a proof of the military spirit of the Scottie people. and of their peaceful inclinations. They were in arms and under military discipline, not because they desired war, but .because they desired peace. As they marched act the Queen and saluted her, they prov to her, a to all the onlookers, and, indeed, to the ‘ civilized world,that he who should attempt : an invasion of the soil of Great Britain must reckon on a fierce and strong resist- ance.
