WHATS THE MATTER WITH THE
YANEEESs
From The New York World.l

fIom inc AA1M Aoik " oiiusl
Upon the publication Of the vital Stats
tics Of Massachusetts, last wear, II was dis
covered that decided majority ofthe births
of the preceding year were the offspring Of
foreign-bom parents. This fact excited a
good deal Of comment at the time, as il
showed that either the virility Of the Yam
KEGS proper was running out, or else that the
Massachusetts women had voluntarily given
up the business Of bearing children 20 their
f0reign-born noighbors.
II seems that this surrender Of the mater
nal function by native New England women
still continues. In the official returns ofthe
births in Boston during the past year, pub
lished in the Advertiser Of that city, we find
the following paragraph:
The table Of births show that the number
OF children born, whose parents were both
natives Of the United States. was l,306,
making 24.75 per cent. Of all the births.
This ratio Of children Of native parentage is
less than il was in 1864, when Il was 2j.28
per cent. Of the whole increase Of that year
The births Of children Of Irish parents in
1864 made 40 per cent. Of the whole number,
while in 1865 this class had increased 10
43.35 per cent. The number of births, where
both parents were foreign born, was 1855, or
CLIO per cent. Of the whole number.
That is TO say, of 1861 children born,
1926 were parented by foreigners, and this
in the capital Of Yankeedom-the Hub Of
the Universe. OF the foreigners, the Irish
are by far the most prolific. The conse-
quences Of this state Of things in a generation
or two are appalling to contemplate. BY the
year 1866 the old Bay State will see the
EvERETTs, ADAMsEs, SUMMERS, WINTHRoPs
and LAwRENcEs supplanted by the HooLA-
CHAINS, O'SHAUGHHEssYs, McGURKs, Mo-
LoNETs, McFADDs and OCALLAHAHs, while
the BLARNEY STONE will be reverenced in
stead Of Plymouth Rock.
A short time since the Commercial Aduer-
tiser Of this city called attention TO the
change which the war had produced in New
England. 1t pointed out the significant fact,
that the farms in the rural districts through
ont that section we're passing into the hands
of foreigners, generally Germans; while the
native population, such ne did not emigrate
West, were crOwding into the towns, and be-
coming traders and manufacturers. This is
certainly the fact; and Rs city life is waste
ful Of population, there is reason TO believe
that, given time enough, the old Yankee
stock will die out in New England, a con-
summation which the native women are
helping along by their unwillingness or ina
bility TO bear children.

A PRACTICAL JOKE WELL CARRIED
OUT.

Prom the Western News
Certain CAST young gentlemen Of Clifton,
No, are chuekling over the success Of a
daring joke. Not long since an elderly
bachelor, who has the reputation Of being
very wealthy and very misery, was applied
10 for a subscription towards some charita-
bic object; and for reasons best known 10
himself gave a point-blank refusal TO the
application, whereby he greatly offended the
parties, who, in their rather liberal estimate
Of his generosity, had considered him good
at least for n couple Of guineas The affair
got talked about, and came to the ears of a
party Of youths full of mischief, who deter
mined 70 pay the old gentleman out for his
sellishness and their nlodiis operdndi was to
favor him with n visit Of His Satanic Males
~. A bold spirit was willing TO represent
that well-knOwn character, and at a late
hour one night last week the dangerous joke
was carried out. The pro tempOrc Devil was
well smeared with phosphorus, aud carried
with one hand a canister with burning sui
phur, 10 give him the orthodox birthstone
Odor. In the other he bore a bucks foot
well charged with electricity, the said foot
being attached 10 a non-conducting haSale,
TO prevent the escape of the electric fluid.
BY some means this juvenile representa-
tive Of AULD HORNE" managed to gain
an entrance TO the old gentleman's sleeping
apartment, and, in the very witching hour
Of The night" made his appearance at the
bedside Of his victim. Suddenly awakened,
the poor man rubbed his eyes, stared, rubbed
his eyes again, and doubtless began 10 feel
uncommonly uncomfortable In a sepul-
chral voice his visitor requested him to
shake hands. lie trembingly obeyed, and
received such terrible shock from the cleo
trifed bucks foot that, coupled with the
hOOflike character Of the foot itself, left him
very little doubt that the Lord of Hades had
come 20 balance accounts. Paralysed for a
few moments, he soon broke into piteous
whine for mercy. The fume Of the burning
sulphur, and the frightful phosphorescent
flashes Of light on "CLooTIE's" face, were
evidently too much for him, and he soon
broke out into yell Of terror. "Come with
me" said the guest. ooh, no, no-not We"
answered the host. "What mercy can you
expect when you gave nothing to the poorY
exclaimed the devil. ooh spare me, and
I'll give you all Pve got" answered the be-
deviled man. "Will you subscribe 10 the
- fund p queried Mr. MEFHHroPHILEs
Anything you like" replied Mr.. DIVES
And 30 the farce went on, until the pande-
moniacal gentlemen gained his point and
quilted the bedroom with a handsome dona-
ton in his pocket, leaving the old gentle
man in a cold perspiration, from which, we
should imagine, he has hardly yet recovered.

OUR CORNFIELD.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.

From the Cincinnati Gazetto.l
A correspondent in Licking county says
that in our article under the above title we
stated that zone hundred and eighty BUSH
els Of corn have been raised 10 an acre"
and that "hics his croduiitg" We don't
wonder at t. IL tries ours a good deal,
He states that in every instance in which
re-measurement was had, the statements Of
large crops were found 10 be inaccurate.
He says he has seen the Scioto Valley, and
thinks no acre produced over one hundred
bushels. This we think is true, but in mat
tiers Of this sort as in all Others we must
yield 30 authentic evidence. There are
several statements Of an acre producing
over one hundred and fifty bushels, which
are as well authenticated as any matter Of
common history. Premiums have been
paid on ono Hundred and forty-due bushels per
acre. We have not the statement on hand,
in reference to the one hundred and eighty
bushels story, and il may be a mistake. But
can readily believe that single acre Of
rich land, MANFRED and spaded, could be
made 10 produce even that amount The
vegetable production Of single acre Of
ground, when thoroughly cultivated, is be-
You'd all common belief
II is, however, a fact that the popular
luca OF uuefdgc crop. IS lar beyond the truth.
In wheat Il Is remarkably so. The newspa-
pcrs are every day repeating stories Of wheat
crops IN England, in Wisconsin, Iowa, etc,
which are beyond the truth, Of thepossibility
Of being true. The farmer who gets an aver
age Of f6urieca bushels 70 an acre does well,
In England il is more, on account Of better
tillage and better climate
In the year 1850 the county Of Picaway
raised 1905, $50 bushels on II $50 acres; the
county Of Ross 3,2l0,7l7 bushels on 1871
acres; and the county Of Fayette, 2597, AS
ON So 60 acres. Pioaway raised 42bushels 70
an acre; Ross, Al bushels and Fayette, 454
bushels. The average Of Fayette was the
largest We believe ever raised in the State,
The county OF Butler has raised "a bushels
to the acre, and the county of Gallia ex-
ceeded, we believe, in one year, either Of
them, but on a much smaller extent OF land.
Taking twenty years in sucoessinn, the State
Of Ohio RAISED, on its '1hole suJooe, fhiry.iour
tuShols d he acrc, and that is very good
average. IL corn averaged land il viii
forty omls per hashel, this gives SIS GO per
acre OF which s. 90 is nett profits or, in
other words, the land which will do that is
worth one hundred dollars per acre.
