Iowa Furnacrs Importing Wheat
From ENGLAND!

Iowa wheat growers! do realize the
frightful and marvellous folly of your
trade with England. You send grain
to market 1890 miles of, taxed from
point to point along the whole line
with railroad freight, warehouse charges,
propeller freight, insurance, elevator
charges, canal tolls, brokers' commits
SONS, shipment over the ocean, aud the
successive charges in England of get
ting your property 10 tho mouths OF
the spinners and wcAvcrs, whom it is
your Joy to feed. What pay do you
get? Back comes your cloth, loaded
at every step of its journey with the
exactions and expenses that fed upon
your wheat outward. bound. It reach
es your farm. What is that cloth?
Why it is your wheat, the self-same
wheat you sent away-or it is an equal
amount of French, Russian or Belgian
wheat. What have you done?-
You, a farmer, have actually imported
grain over costly circle OF transpor.
tation $500 miles long. For every
yard Of cloth, every package OF hard
ware, every bar Of IRON, imported from
England, represents English wheat by
cultivation or purchase, quintupled in
value by manufacturing processes.
Friends in Iowa, you can't stand this
unequal swap of raw food with tho
British, even in the years Of their worst
harvests. In the fruitful years, when
they don't want your wheat, but de-
mand gold of you for the cloth, iron
and hardware, their Free Trade lying
and coaxing has got you INTO the habit
OF buying, the Liverpool market is the
grave OF your prosperity. Be per.
suaded to establish manufactures in
your neighborhood. If you can't do
this Immediately, stick to 1t and work
at it as tho principle Of your salvation.
Establish them as near to you as you
can. Uphold them wherever on your
country's soil. Demand Of your Gov
eminent to give you q permanent
American Home Market. Order your
congressman to insist that the policy
Of the country shall be SO shaped that
this market shall not only always be
open to You, but shall, by the law Of
industrial development be moved near
err and nearer to your farms every
year. British Free Trade is designed
to enslaven you to British manufac-
tures-and the lot of the Slave, be he
white or black, African or American,
is poverty aud dcpendence.-[N. Y.

The Apple Tree in the Lane

Buc Apple AfcC Ill TIC Lane,
1t stood close by where on lea.h.rn hinge
The gate swung back from the grassy lane
When the cows came home when the dusky eve
It's mantle threw over hill and plain;
Its branches, knotty and gnarlcd by time,
Waved to and fro in the idle breeze,
When tho spring days wove q blushing crown
Ofblossoms bright for the apple trees.
Its shadows fell Ger the crystal stream
That all the long, bright summer days,
Like silver thread, mid the waving grass,
Reflected back the golden rays
Of the monday sun, that madly strove
To drink the fount of the brooklet dry,
But the light clouds showered tear drops down
Till the glad brook laughed as it glidcd by
Never was the apple half so sweet,
Golden russell striped with red,
As those that fell on the yielding turf
When we shook the branches overhead.
Atrysting place for youthful friends
Was the apple tree in the days Of yorc,
And oft we've sat beneath lite shade
And talked bright dreams of the future Ger.
And when the warm October sun
Shone on the naples scarlet robe,
We gathered apples sound and fair,
And round as our own mystic globe.
The stately hemlock CROW MS the hill,
The dark pines rise above the plain
But the one we prize far more than they,
The apple tree in the pasture lane.
Long years have passed, and cows no more
Come home at night through the grassy lane;
Where the gate swung back on leathern hinge
Island and gaze on the for of plain.
No more we list to the music low,
Ofthe crystal stream as it ripples on,
And the apple tree in the pasture lane
Is but dream Of the days by-gone.

Lightning Rod Hulnbugs.
Ten years ago, Illinois was
humbugged to the amount Of
$4,000 per annum, in purchas-
ing worthless fruit trees at fab.
ulous prices, and now there is
scarcely a tree peddler to be
found in the State, while fruit
culture was never in more
tiourishing condition. For all
this, and much more, we are in
debted to the influence Of the
Prairie Farmer, in educating
the people upon the subject Of
varieties, culture, and prices.
Now, a more criminal and
dangerous robbery is being per-
petratcd by unprincipled light
ming rod agents, than tree ped
oilers ever dreamed of. The
country is flooded with patent
fiuted, twisted, square, trlangu-
lar-winged copper-iron and
galvanized rods put up from 80
to 50 cents per foot, while the
actual cost of some of them is
from 2 to5 CENTS; and when
they are strung upon the build
ing with their glass insulators,
and terminate in two or three
feet of dry earth, they are just
about as effective in conducting
electricity as a clothes line in
back yard would be. That
people who are generally well
informed should be so intensely
ignorant upon this most inter.
esting and simple subject, may
seem strange, but how shall
they be taught when our school
PHILOSOPHERS, and scientific
works are brought up in the
interest Of lightning rod men,
when the professors Of our col
leges, sell, for large sums, their
recommendations Of patent hum
bugs, and newspapers reap a
rich harvest by putting a rod
which they know to be worth.
less? Let the Prairie Farmer
speak as it did on July 18th,
with honesty and intelligence,
and the education of the people
will soon drive the smooth
tongued rod agents from the
State.
There never was greater
nonsense than the old theory Of
separating rod from that which
it is to protect. Four years
ago, l built a house, and put a
copper scroll rod on the CHM
ney, in the center of the build
ing, and fastened it directly to
the bricks, down to the bottom
of the cellar in the manner you
recommend; and although it has
been struck twice, there was no
effect upon the rod or building,
and no shock to those in the
house-while my neighbors
were shocked by the inductive
effects Of the same stroke. Two
years ago, l built another house,
and erected the rod as before,
terminating in the moist earth
in the bottom of the cellar; and
| often take hold of it in a
thunder shower to see if there is
any shock in the passage of cleo
tricity, and I would not hesitate
to have my hand upon it du-
ring a stroke of lightning; for it
would never leave pure copper,
for a con. luctor not one hum
dredth part as good. l have
just been down cellar and dug
away the earth, to see if the
the copper is corroded, and I
assure you that it is just as
bright below the surface, as it

"CANcAN."-The word cancan," to
designate the extravaganza and, in some re-
spects. immodest style of dancing, of which
we have had 80 much lately in our thea
tres, is an importation from France, but by
no means of modern origin. Itwas at first
spelled "quam-quam," and was the name
given to the Latin orations delivered by
young theological students before their doc
tors OF professors. Coming into popular
use, it was applied first in the form

the French dictionaries of century ago,
and then in that Of "capcan I" to all
sorts of noisy empty talk, including
more particularly that Of scandalous,

our English chatter" "gabble," and
"clack." Some etymologists see in it an
attempt to initiate the quacking made by
geese and ducks, which, indeed, it repre-
sents when pronounced in the French mode;
but this il clearly not its first source.
When, few years ago, the dancers at the
public balls in Paris began to indulge in
gestures and steps which transgressed the
performances Of course made great talk,
or cancan," among respectable people,
and 80 the word became identified with the
subject, which gave rise to the " cancan."
Americans, it is said, are far from compre-
hending the full meaning Of the motions,

dancers indulge and as where ignorance
is bliss 1t is folly to be WISE" We trust they

Provisions Work.-Every one complains
of the scarcity Of money and the high
price of provisions. Our streets are
thronged at times with laboring men anx-
ious to secure work. The suspension OF
work on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has caused much inconvenience and suffer-
ing among some Of its employees.
The heS.-Theio arc two Methodist
North and South, one Baptist, one Epis-
copalian, one Presbyterian, and one Lu-
theran church in this city. The Baptists
have German mission and colorcd
church also. Our city is favored with eiii-
cient pastors. Rev. DR.. Beeckener, of the
Southern Methodist, is fine reasoner
Rev. Mr.. Kibber, of the Northern Metho-
dist, is most indefatigable worker; Rev.
Mr.. Carter, Of the Baptist church, enjoys
fine reputation as pulpit orator; Rev.
Mr.. Reid, of the Presbyterian, is an accom-
plished sermonizer; while Rev. Mr.. Hy-
land, of the Episcopal church, is noted for
his fine social qualities.
Rev. Mr.. Parks, of the Catholic church,
is most efficient and successful worker.
Public Schools. -Thc common schools OF
this State are being made more efficient,
and they are becoming more popular.
The graded schools Of this city arc large
and well conducted. The course Of instruc-
ton is SO thorough that they have pretty
well superseded private schools.
Mr.. Nash, a veteran teacher, has an ex-
ceilent private school for boys-the only
one Of the kind in the city.
The State University, at Morgantown, is
reported to be in quite g fourishing condi-
ton.
The Baptist denomination OF this State
expect to locate their college in April.
Rev. ]. B. SolomaD, A. Nj, formerly
pastor in your city, has taken charge of the
High school in Pruntytowu. This was
formerly the seat of Recton College. The
location is good, the community intelligent,
the air braeing, and the scenery beautiful.
Weather.-For several weeks the weather
has been terrible-rain and mud have been
the order of the day-our streets have for
q few days past been enliVened by little
sunshine. The wise ones predict an early
spring, and are preparing to put in garden
seed. This is early for this latitude.
"The Nine" THE nine gentlemen from
Virginia who have for some time past been
in Washington have attracted the attention
Of the whole country; their movements
have been watched by close observers /; the
prevailing opinion here is that they have
displayed great wisdom i'll the terms Of adj
lustment they have proposed to Congress,
l believe that the West would rejoice to see
an adjustment effected on the basis they
have proposed. MAX.

slates" which have been prepared is
astounding, and the striking feature Of diff
ference in the opinions Of their authors Is
provoking considerable comment. They
are sill readable because as yet no one OF
them can be contradicted upon official au-
fhority. There are some persons here VINO
believe that General Grant will recede from
his determination to keep the names Of MS
official advisers until sent to the Senate ior
confirmation, and promuleate them gay
or two earlier. Office-holders gencrally
are in a state of considerable suspense,
owing to the declarations OF the "outs

fashion Of the Jackson administration, Will

The following appointments OF internal
revenue storekeepers for Virginia have re-
Gently been made by the Secretary Of the
Treasury: William H. Trenger, sixth dis

Thomas C. Morallee, seventh district.
The fact that General Grant and Mrs.
Grant called on Mrs. 3. F. Butler yester-
day has startled the gossips here. The
Radicals generally are very jealous of But
Ter, and would deplore anything resembling
intimate relations, either social or politi-
col, between that worthy and the President
elect. Butler says these relations are al
ready assured, and thus keeps his political
colleagues in u very uneasy condition of
