The Anti. English Fallacy.

1--WE hate the English" or whatever
other words may be used I; "the English
are in favor of free trade; let us be for
protection, for seclusion. We don't
want any English"
In these or similar words fallacy is
expressed, which is frequently made use
of, however irrational it may be.
The difficulty in acting upon this
principle seems to lie in the fact that
We must begin with abolishing the Eng
fish language, the Christian religion,
and the practice Of wearing the nose in
the middle of the face for we have the
two first in common with the English,
and the English people wear their noses
pretty much in the same place where
we are in the habit of wearing them.
Even if the adherents of this doctrine
think they do right in substituting,
"Hate thy neighbor as much as thou
canst," for the command, Glove thy
neighbor as thyself," and for the first
principle of the Christian law Of nations,
"Peace and Goodwill toward man."
even in that case they ought not to lay
down the maxim, Hate thyself as much
as thy neighbor; and it does show dis
regard Of self when the advantage which
necessarily results from simple exchange
is wilfully interrupted But what can
we say, when a leading protectionist
actually stated, not in passionate speech
hut in the copsiderateness of nrinted
words, that ten years war with Eng
land would do US good! These men
seem to know better than the Creator,
who made all things, beings, and climes,
for Interdependence and Interbenef-
cence.
Bitter as it is, it is a fact that this
argument has been urged, and contin-
ues to be urged, in the latter part Of the
nineteenth century, and by people who
profess cosmopolitan religion Of good
will and peace.-Reform League.

The Vinton Eagle has field in its vi.
cinity which yields I6O bushels of corn to
the acre! We guess our brother Of the
Eagle was badly corned when he made
that statement. These immense yields OF
produce are generally got from one or two
highly MANFRED and we'll cultivated rods
or acres, and "the field" is estimated to
bear the. average. Fair premiums are
mostly got by steady work on and liberia
supply Of vegetable or animal aliment to
one object, and not to whole fields of grain
or whole herds Of stock.
While we explain the causes Of such
large specimens of field and other pro-
ducts, we want our readers to profit by
the perusal. The inference is, that less
breadth Of land and nicer cultivation, q
less lumber of cattle and more generous
feed and care would result in large profits.
We knew farmer in Indiana, who raised
50 bushels of winter wheat per acre on 20
acres, while 40 acre field near by, not so
we'll attended, yielded less than 20 bushels
per acre. In Europe, it is not uncommon
to reap 60 bushels per acre, but all the
fertilizing material of the stock yard, IF
the barn and Of the poultry roosts, gos
upon the land.

Steamer StOnewau.

Steamer StOneWau.
Below St. Louis $50 miles, on one Of
the nights Of last week, this fated vessel
was burned. On board were over 2OO
horses and mules, and a large quantity Of
Hay as freight. The hands got to playing
cards by the light Of candle, and fresh
wind sent the candle blaze into the hay.
The consequence was the burning Of the
vessel and the loss of nearly all the pas.
sengers and crew. Of over 200 persons
on board scarcely 40 were saved But
two lady passengers occupied the cabin,
one of these was brought ashore by an ex.
pert swimmer. Our daily exchanges are
filled with accounts Of the dreadful disas-
ter, but the carelessness Of the Steamboat
police is so notorious that such horrors
excite only few days wonder. The
names Of the lost and the rescued are Of
far southern locality, and their publication
as well as the tipping Of the dreadful de-
tails Of burning and drowning would add
more to the curiosity than to the happi-
ness of the reader. So much for the
criminality Of using lighted candle near
a hay NOW when over 200 lives were at
stake.

AMBEscnls.-Th Honolulu Advertiser
reports that recently New Bedford
whaler struck large and old sperm whale,
near the island of Madagascar, and on
cutting into the fish secured 2S5 pounds OF
pure ambergris, worth $4,000. This
amount is the largest ever obtained from
one whale, the. quantity usually varying
from twenty to one hundred pounds. Am
bergris is hard waxy and fatty substance,
Of a light gray, streaked with yellow or
brown, and is secreted in the liver of the
whale. 1t is found in sickly, diseased OF
dead whales, and, according to the sailors,
is caused by the whale having dyspepsia.
The ambergris was originally found float
ing..on the surface of the water. and its
source was not discovered till long after
it had been used as perfume and a
medicine. Its properties are analogous to
those of musk, another secretion from q
land animal.

His success is owing to three causes.
First, Mr.. u. is an agreeable, intelligent
