FARM TOPICS.
The Grain Trade in Winter.

For several years past, efforts have
been made in New Orleans and St.
Louis to establish a direct trade with
Europe for the grain of the North
west. Shipments of corn and wheat
have already been made from those
places to Liverpool, which are said to
have arrived in good order. The ap-
prehensions that were entertained
that, 10 the passage through the Gulf
OF Mexico, grain might become heat>
cd and Injured have not been justified
by the result. The fact is an import
ant onein its bearings upon these lake
ports, and the Chicago Tribune, in dis
cussing the subject has this to say
During the season of lake, canal
aud river navigation the route from
this city and the northwest to the
Atlantic ports, and from there to Eu-
rope is shorter by three or four
weeks than from here to New Orr
leans, and from there to Europe. 1t
will therefore command the business
But, in the season Of suspended lake
and river navigation, lasting, general
ly, from early in November to the
middle Of the May, cereals cannot be
transported nearly so cheaply by rail
Us by way Of New Orleans. The dis
lance by rail to Cairo, and thence by
water navigation will always be
cheaper than by rail direct to New
York, Boston or Portland. Our
warehouses and elevators have for
several years been crowded with
grain during the winter season wait
ing for navigation. The outlet by
way Of New Orleans would enable
Chicago to prosecute the grain busi-
ness at this season without the usual
delays. Arrangement could easily
be made to obtain through bills Of
lading from this city to Liverpool ola
New Orleans, insured for the whole
transit, upon which bills Of exchange
might be drawn, and thus enable the
merchant 10 Chicago to realize at
once upon corn and wheat shipped
here. Such arrangements would be
OF great advantage during the CONS
ing winter By the fire our ware
houses have been in large porpor-
ton destroyed, and with all the prep
aratiOns that can be made, we shall
not Lave storage room for half the
quantity ofgrain usually seeking this
port in the winter. And our neighr
boring cities are not prepared TO re-
colvo il. The other lake ports have
for several years had all the grain
they could give room TO during the
season ofsuspended navigation. The
quantity which we shall have no
room for will be as much in excess of
their capacity as it will be Of OURS
That New Orleans can ship it in win
ter is manifest. There are now three
limos of ocean steamers between that
port aud Europe, employing twenty
first class vessels, and making about
eight trips each month, and, in addi-
ton to this, several steamships ply.
ing between New Orleans and Liver
pool not connected with any line,
and large feet Of sailing vessels.

Huxley on Spirltualism.

Huxley, the English scientist, has
decidedly poor opinion of spirit
uallsm. Being invited, while ago,
to assist at the investigation of the
performances Of medium, he re-
sponded sharply as follows: 81 re-
greet that | am unable to accept the
invitation of the council Of the Dia-
lectical society to cooperate with q
committee for the investigation of
'spiritualism, and for two reasons.
In the first place, have no time for
such an inquiry, which would in
volve much trouble and (unless it
were unlike all inquiries of that kind
| have KNOWN much annoyance.
In the second place, l take no inter-
est in the subject. The only case of
'spiritualism' | have had the oppor-
tunity OF examining into for myself,
was as gross an impOsture as ever
come under my notice But sup.
posing the phenomena to be genuine
they do not interest me. If any
body will endow me with the faculty
of listening to the chatter of old wO-
men and curates in the nearest ca
thedral town, | should decline the
privilege, having better things to do.
And if tho folks in the spiritual world
do not talk more wisely and sensibly
than their friends report them to do,
/ put them in the same category.
The only good that / can see in a
demonstration of the truth of spirit,
ualism is to furnish an additional ar
gument against suicide. Better live
a crossing sweeper than to die and
be made to talk twaddle by a me-
dunn hired at guinea a seance."

Advantage of Farmers Clubs

In word what every frrmer most
needs, is thorough knowledg of bis
profession, and in no pursuit Is knowl.
edge more Indispensable.
The farmers club, when properly
conducted, is, in every sense, school
for the dissemination of information
pertaining to this branch ofbusiness,
and for the free discussion of all ques-
tions and topics which affect the gen.
eral welfare Of its members. Those
who have been successful in uny par
ticular branch of husbandry, commu-
nicate the knowledge which their ex-
perience and practice has given them
while in turn, those who have had
less experience and more varied
knowledge may suggest ideas valua-
bic to all. Aside from the useful inc
formation that may be derived to all
connected with these clubs, there is
a social side, witch may indeed be con-
sidered as one Of the browning excel
lenees of such organizations. Farm
ers have less amusements, and fewer
opportunities for social recreation
than any other class their isolation
from each other is one of the causes
Of this, and the result is, of course,
that while they work harder than
any other class, they no doubt enjoy
less of the comforts and pleasures of
life.
Many reasons might be urged and
extended to great length favoring
the organization of these societies,
which cannot be set forth in short
and hastily written article like this.
We submit the subject, therefore, to
our farmers, hoping they will carry
out the project which has been start
ed at Monroe, until there shall be a
well organized working Farmers
Club in every town in Green county.

ural manner
