From the Northwestern Agriculturist.

From the Northwestern Agriculturist.
A near market enables farmers to convert
many things, otherwise vslneless, or nearly
So into money. For century past France
has held steadily with slight exceptions to
the protective policy, and the result is seen in
the fact that IN many of the highest depart
mcnts of manufacturing industry she has for
years led the world and by dlyersiiYng hei
industry, vast increase OF wealth has been
secured 10 her people with corresponding in.
crease of comfort and happiness. In 1856
1.-THE wheat straw alone is valued at 1893, 000,-
600 francs, or nearly $4,000, 900, and the
total value of the straw of France at 76l.-
o01.000 francs, equaling Sl5o,00, 600
being more than the total value OF the
cotton crop of the United STATES, waich
occupies SO nearly exclusively the ii.u u ny
less than ten Of our States, ana furnishes
almost The whole employment of SO many
millions Of our people. Il Cdreys Social SCI
,nce Tol ,. f,dge &C. Since the settlement
of the West it is safe to say that the straw
which has been burned, could 1t have been
utilized. would have been worth a thousand
millions of dollars. Our correspondent
"Cosmopolte,r in another column of this
Issue. presents facts which will be read with
interest by every person who wishes to see the
farmers Of the West relieved from the oppres-
sion OF capital when now rests upon them.
and placed where they should be. on the high
road to prosperity and wealth We have
over 500 600, 900 of capital invested in the
manufacture of paper in this country, and
need $4,000, 00o more. one half of which
amour, at least should be in the West.
Let every farmer and mechanic consider
this matter carefully, and see if he cannot
devise some way to aid in securing the in
Yestment of greatly increased amount Of
CAPITAL in the West in this branch of manu-.
featuring industry, and by so doing, aid in
enriching himself and all around him. The
illumination Of the heavens, annually, by
burning MP the straw, has not. as we are
aware, yielded any considerable return in
money TO the farmers. while the establishment
Of paper mills III France and the manufacture
OF straw braid. has furnished employment to
tens of thousands OF poor people, enriching
them and the State at one aud the same time.
The history OF every nation that has risen
~ any high degree Of civilization. proves be-
yond the possibility of refutation, that
farmers prosper most when there is the high
est degree Of manufacturing industry devel-
oped, and the more closely farmers study
this transportation question. the more thor
oughly viii they be convinced that its
solution lies in the building u2 OF q grand
manufacturing system among ourselves.
Farmers, think of this.

the palm of literary superiority, and is

shores of Great Britain.
Dickens is emphatically a democrat
He sprang from the people. He illus
trates them, and to them does he mainly
confde himself High life he seldom or
never pretends to enter, and it is well
perhaps, that he does not. Why, constr
tuted and educated as he is, he should
have selected Americans as objects of
ridicule, and leveled his shafts against
republican institutions, is no. easily ex-
plained. He has the force and truth of
bold outline in his descriptions, but the
nice shading and delicate tints Of the re-
fined artist are wanting in his life pic
lures.
There is simplicity, childish inno-
cence and pathos in many of his charac-
ters which is very charming 1t were
vain to deny him much excellence; yet,
we think he has reaped all the fame he
merits, coupling, as he does, grave faults
with much ability as writer of romance.

The Reform Agitsnon and Progress in
England.

We find the following very Ineligible
and interesting account Of the progress
of the Reform movement in England, IN
the London correspondence of the New
York Tribune:
This week the prospects Of Reform

ened considerably. Like many other
good causes-say the abolition of slavery
in the United States-it has been better
served by its enemies than its friends
As you could always rely on the slave

Eight to Sixteen.

Lord SALISBURY recently stated in Il
public meeting in London, that, from
personal observation, he has ascertained
that, Of adult male criminals of that
city, nearly all had fallen in course of
crime between the ages of eight and six
teen years; and that if a young man
lived an honest life up to twenty years
of age, there were forty-nine chances in
favor, and one against him, as to an
honorable life thereafter
This is fact Of singular Importance
to fathers and mothers, and shows a
fearful responsibility Certainly pa
rent should secure and exercise absolute
control over the child under sixteen. 1t
cannot be difficult matter to do this,
except in very rare cases; and If that
control is not very wisely and efficiently
exercised, it must be the parents fault
it is owing to the parental neglect or
remissness Hence the real source of
ninety-eight per cent Of the real crime
in country such as England or the
United States lies at the door Of the
parents. 1t is fearful reflection. We
throw it before the minds of the fathers
and mothers of our land, and there leave
it to be thought of in wisdom, remarking
only as to the early seeds of bodily dis
ease that they are in nearly every case,
sown between sundown and bedtime, in
absence from the family circle; in the sup
ply of spending money never earned by
the spender, opening the doors of con
dictionaries and soda-ionntains, of beer
and tobacco and wine shops, Of the
circus, the negro minstrel, the restaurant
and dance; then follows the Sunday
excursions, the Sunday drive, with the
easy transition to the company of those
whose ways lead to the gates of social,
physical and moral ruin. From eight
to sixteen--in ihese few years are the
destinies of children fixed in forty-nine
