The statistics of the Quakers in England
show that sect is dying out, and that not
slowly. 1t seems to have accomplished its
mission. 1t is changing in Its theology also,
and immediate inspiration and non resistance
are already forgotten doctrines with many of
tho members, and passion for music and
painting has changed the social atmosphere of
many Quaker homes. The same thing is true
in this country. though there are yet some So
cieties that maintain the old discipline.

farms IN CoLoRADo.-In the valleys of the
Arkansas and the Huerfano came to the
country of immense farms. The bottoms,
bordering all the streams which flow from the
mountains north and south of Denver, are
rich in corn and grain, and ample to supply
the whole territory. Alter a lew years of
laborious irrigation, the agriculture of Col
orado will prove rich source OF revenue
as her mining. These immense farms contain
many square miles. One of these is twelve
miles by eighteen miles wife, ard thousands
of acres under cult vation. Ii yielded last
year $4,000 worth of grain its pastures
feed 5000 or 5000 sheep and whole droves of
horses. The laborers are found among the
Mexlcans and they are worked and fed and
managed In baitalions Like vast army.
These Mexican labor.rs are poor creatures.
They live IN miserable abo ie butts, with earth
floors. and amidst dirt and discomfort. They
scra tch the surface of the earth with a sharp
stick and think they are blowing to thresh
their grain, they spread it in circle on the
ground, and ride around it on horseback !;
and all their agricultural ff,rts are of simi-
lar character.-L.tter from Denver.

OcroBER CHIRRIEs.-The K iitor of the
London Journal of Horticulture and Ctttage
Gardener received on The last of October some
cherries grown on standard trees in the open
air. The drenching rain on the 26Ih Of Oct.
had caused them to crack, which somew hot t
injured their favor, but up to that time they
were as bright and as beautiful as cherries in
June. The origin of 'he v.rity, the Belle
Agathe, is involved in MYSTERY, but it presents
wIie departure in its nature and habits
from all other kinds of cherries. The editor
remarks that the cherries we're very good and
but for the soakif z rain would have been
superior. They were sweet and refreshing.
and 1t is des :rabie that they shou Id be Included

By all means let have this variety, if it
is permanently fixed October fruit, intro
