CARELESS PEOPLE. Only the other
day our nerve, were worked up to ex-
plosion point by an account Of surgical
operation, by which woman's trachoa
was opened toremove silver dime which
had lodged there. And how on earth
did a dime ever get into a woman's wind
pipe? Simply because she was careless,
and laughed with her mouth full of small
coins. Was there no other place where
she could put Asr ten cent pieces?
We do feel sorry for a creeping baby
when it gets hold of the bars of the CRATE
by mistake, or cuts its fingers or bumps
its head, but with grown people, who
suffer from their own recklessness, we
have very little patience.
What is the use of woman convert
ing her mouth into a pin cushion, and
then expecting our sympathy, when a
sudden snceze or an unexpected cough
imperils her life?
What is the use of a man balancing
himself on an oscillating chair, instead of
sitting up straight like Christian Are
we expected to find vinegar and brown
paper for the confusion on the back of
his head when he finally comes down with
a crash?
What is the use of women picking the
ears with long knitting needle, as half
the women do, when child running
against her would send the instrument
three inches into her brain, if she has
any?

Vest General c., (weli known in Phila-
delphia,) on getting on board of Mis-
sissippi steamer, after a brief survey of
the company, considered himself so far
removed in point Of dignity from the
jeans-clad Kentuckians, Hoosiers, and
suckers around him, that he must needs
give them striking demonstrations Of the
fact, by refusing to eat with the ordi-
nary steel forks used by the aforesaid
vulgar herd. lie therefore, provided
himself with a silver fork, and as he was
aware that If it was placed at one of the
plates, some one Of the caa1iUs might
use it, he handed it to the steward u the
boat, with an injunction to give it to him
on his getting fairly at the dinner table.
The steward promised; but the passcn-
gers got wind Of the matter. and amongst
them was a brawny Keutuekian On
the first opportunity which offered he
went on shore, and manufactured with
his hunting knife huge wooden fork,
which he also gave to the steward, with
an order to give neither Of the forks to
their respective owneTs until called for.

Che farmers Department,
The Effects Of the War on Agri-
Gnlture,

VNt A"sSN"F = LSNp"NFt|'N'' ''sf
The Effects Of the War on Agri-
culture.
The war is destined to make great
changes in the social condition OF
American farmers. Hitherto tney
have not occupied that position which
is accorded to agricultupalists in old
or countries. With cheap land,
dear labor and low prices, farming
has not been as remuncratiye as many
other vocations. Wealth has accu-
mulated in cities and villages rather
than in the country, and farmers
themselves have not been indisposed
to their sons engaging in trade rath-
er than in agriculture. The war will
change all this. Trade adds little or
nothing 10 our national wealth. 1t is
true that we must have middle
men"-men who make a living by
buving from those who wish to sell,
and selling to those who wish to buy
but it is not desirable that so much
of the labor of the country should be
occupied in this way.
Since the war commenced large
fortunes have been made in trade,
and this has caused an influx Of young
men to the cities. The tide, howev-
er, is now turning. The war-the
most gigantic and expensive Of mod
,ern times-has absorbed so much OF
the labor of the country, that the
non producing classes are relatively
vastly more numerous than ever De
fore. Weproduoe less and consume
more than during period Of peace,
Prices are regulated by supply and
demand. With the tens and hund-
reds Of thousands that have left the
farm for the army, the supply must
be less and the demand greater.
Prices, therefore, must advance,
Trade cannot be as profitable, as a
whole, as it has hitherto been. The
intelligence Of the country must be
turned to agriculture. 1t supports
all other interests. This has always
been the case, but We have, during a
long peace, increased so vastly in ma
terial prosperity, that those who
cou'd supply us with luXuries have
obtained q more liberal compcnsa.
ton than those who furnished tn,
mere nccessarios Of life. The wgl
will, in the end make us poorer. We
shall not be able to waste so much
labor. The cities viii feel their de.
pendence on the country. The i'm
portancc Of agriculture will be felt
and acknowledged by all, and if far
mers are true to themselves, they vii
exert a far greater influence than ov.
er before in this country.
Farmers must take a greater pride
in their business. They should un
derstand their responsibility anl
strive to meet it. They must farm
more irtclligcntly, keep better stocl
raise larger crops, make greater i'm
proyement5 and systcmatiza their le
Dor. This lcW be done. If farmort
themselves, or their sons, DO net do i
-if they, do not bring more energy
and intelligence to the cultivation .
the soil-others will do so. Agri
culture will be more profitable THAI
it has hitherto been, and will draw t,
it TIE capital and intelligence Of tht
country. Let farmers, and especial
ly farmers sons, ponder this matter.

a Guerrilla Raid on Chicago.

by telegraph yesterday of the presence of
sixty mysterious passengers in butternut
uniform on the Chicago, Alton & ST.
Louis Railroad, holding tickets for Chi
cago. These individuals were said to be
armed. but the utmost efforts of their iel-
passengers failed to get any informa-
ton regarding their movements or pur-
poses, except that they we're under the
leadership Of one DR.. Berrett, or Bossett,
Of yaudalia, Illinois. They had no bag
gage, and they kept their mouths shut
with vigilance quite uncommon among
persons of their persuasion. The pre-
sumption created by their presence at
Bloomington, where they transferred them
selves from the Illinois Central to the Al
ton road, was that they were rebel spies
or raiders en- route for Chicago to make
an attack on Camp Douglas, or to fire the
city on election day, in accordance with
the plan concocted in Canada the other
day,
Last night these sixty gucrillas arrived
in Chicago, and proceeded from the Al
ton depot to the sherman House, where
they liquored pretty freely and after tax
ing part in the concluding exercises Of
Mr.. Nice ormick' 9 circus, dispersed. Their
presence created no little excitement.
Their unusual attire, their sinister e1-
preston, and their general resemblance
to the prisoners in Camp Douglas, sent
feeling Of mingled horror and animosity
through the crowd Chicago has never
seen birds Of their feather except under
the escort Of federal troops.
The question arises, what ero these
men here for? To whatare we indebted
for the pleasure Of their acquaintance? I?
Have they come TO give us a St. Adams
raid or are they here for the purpose Of
making a hole in the wall Of Camp Doug
las, OF have they come merely to take
possession Of the ballot boxes next Tues
| day? Whichever purpose they laoy hap
pen to indulge, they may as we'll under
stand that ,hoy cannot be grstifed, and
that it they get out Of town without trial
| by military commission they may esteom
| themselves lucky. They pretend to be
