The TRADES AGAIN. - The trades, amer several
attempts to gain their former supremacy, set in on
Saturday morning with light showers and squally
appearance. and continued throughout the day. The
immediate change in the atmosphere was refresh
ing one, and as the day advanced with intervals Of
light sho wers it evident that the much wished
for trades bad again resumed their former regularity
Heretofore az this time Of the year, We have always
had unusually fresh trades, which are generally the
PRECURSORS OF rain.

How Soil WAS MADE T

How Soil WAS MADE Professor
Agassiz says that all the material on
which agricultural depends are decom-
posed rocks, not so much that under
lie the soil, but these On the surface
and brought from considerable dis
lance, and ground to powder by the
rasp of glaciers. Ice all over the con-
tinent is the agent that has ground out
more soil than all other agencies put
together. The penetration into the
rocks, frost, running water and baking
suns, have done something, but the
glacier more. In former age, the
whole of the United States was covered
with ice several thousand feet thick,
and the ice moving from north to
south by the attraction of tropical
warmth or pressing weight OF ice and
snow behind, ground rocks over which
it passed in to the paste that we call
the soil.-These masses of ice can be
tracked as surly as game is tricked
by the hunter. He had made a study OF
them in this country, as far as Alabama
but had observed the same phenom-
enon particularly in Italy, where,
among the Alps, glaciers are now in
process. The stones and rocks ground
and polished by the glaciers, can easi-
ly be distinguished from those scratch
ed by running water. The angular
boulders found in the meadows and
the terraces of our rivers not reached
by water, and can be accounted for in
this way.

SENDING NEWSPAPERS BY MAIL
IMPORTANT Occasionally recent
decision of the Post Office Department,
the law regarding sending newspapers
by mail has been more clearly defined
than it has heretofore stood No name
or memorand can be made on a
newspaper inside of the wrapper on
which the address is written. It's barely
permissible to mark an ar tiole with
pen or pencil, more then this subject
the paper to letter postage, and the
violater of the law to fine. No printed
card handful or advertisement,no writ
ten notice, letter, or slip of any kind
whatsoever, must be folded in the
paper. To do any of these things is to
violate the law. Printed slips pasted
on the outside or folded in papers or
periodicals, soliciting notices are also
violations of the law. Senders of trans
lent papers can send bundles of printed
matter by weight at transient postage
charges, but must not send any written
matter in such bundles,

Why are the Cornish Left Out

Ed. CHRONICLE
In your issue of last week was a com
munication on very peculiar subject, and
by very peculiar author. The writer
seemed to he burdened with fear that
the Welsh, as nation, are going headlong
to destruction; hence, he says: Who
will warn the Welsh who?" lie want,
some one to sound the alarm but we
think he did that part of the business, last
week, pretty thoroughly. Our opinion OF
tue religion, and true God, has always
been somewhat different from the writer's,
viz. We were taught that religion and
God were no respecters of persons but it
appears we have been somewhat at fault
Why the Cornish are left out in the cold
and why the Welsh should have a better
chance than we have, We are utterly unable
to see for we believe them to be equally
as bad, and in as much need of salvation,
as the Welsh ever was.
In regard to the coming of Christ. we
have no fears, and we really see no need
of Mr.. Pow.lls becoming alarmed for
when the Master was on earth he did
much good and left good name, and
ic he came again, it is reasonable to sup
pose he would do even more. The writer
says: 1.-THE sun hath darkcncd, and the
moon hath withheld her light" In regard
to the sun, we cannot speak from expert,
ence, having never seen him darkened, cx.
cept about two years ago. and that was
the result of a natural cause, which has
happened before, and will happen again.
1t might have happened sometime when,
in consequence Of our working night shift
we slept all day; but our friends never
told us anything about the occurrence.
We can vonch for the moon, however. We
do not believe that it is possible for her to
be guilty of so mean a thing as to with
hold her light, and we always treat such
stuff as pure scandal on the fair charac-
ter of the moon.
When we read of the stars falling, we
could not resist the temptation of going to
see if any had really fallen. of late. We of
course did not miss any of the shiny orbs !;
but if q few had fallen, it would make no
odds, as there are plenty left for all prac-
tical purposes; and at the rate they have
fallen since Mr.. Powefis birth, there will
be sufficient to light him on his way
as long as he will need them. We
would like to engage in the insurance bust
ness on that bead, and would do our work
cheap. Joking aside, we would say to
Mr.. Powell that he need not be afraid of
sun, moon, or stars for their Master will
care for them as he has done for millions
of years and they are in as good running
order as ever they were. Be of good
cheer, Brother Powell the earth and all
that is therein will last your day, and ifit
should not, you still have the same chance
the rest of US have. When you choose to
20 for the benigbted, ignorant Welsh, do
for Gods sake remember the Cornish.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Will you please to publish the following
in the CBRoNIcLE?:
We are informed according to j. Powell
that there have already twenty-five false
Christs risen." If that is so, j. p. is the
Goth; and the Gospel, according to
J. P, is to the Welsh alone. Oh =! what a
selfish Christ is the last one that appears
on earth He does not care for any other
nation but the Welsh. What mean,
narrow, contracted reformer! Will No.
26 please to read Math. 28.l9 90, and see
what JESUS CHRIST said We find the
Gospel according to j. P. in his own quo
tation, A." 2 Tim. l-10-ll, Thereunto | am
appointed preacher, and an apostle, and
teacher-of the WeLsn. IS, Hold fast the
form of sound words which you have heard
from me, your Christ" The image in
Dan. oh. 2, the gold, Polvgamy; the silver,
Hard shell Baptists; the. brass, Mormon
ism the iron and clay, ,Adventism. In
the 9Th CHI. of Dan. you will find these
words Meme, he is numbered Te-
KEEL, he is weighed Uphar-sin, and found
wanting;" and SO is j. P.'s Christianity.
Acts %, 21-22, "And he said unto me,
depart, for / will send thee far hence, unto
the Welsh. And they gave him audiences
unto this word, and then lifted up their
voices, and said, Away with such fellow
from the earth for it is not fit that he
should live" Now, Sir, In the name Of
the LORD, who will proclaim the Gospel
according to John Powell, amongst the
poor, ignorant, God-forsaken Welsh? Who
will do it? Will not j. P. volunteer to
do that, as the holy man Of God, purified
and sanctifed for that mission? Lord
give double portion of thy grace to the
redeemer of the Welsh, and help him tc
preach and act accordingly.
"What is the next sign we should look
for or expect Of the Lords coming Johl

The GladioIus.

There has no flower grown into pop
ularity more rapidly than the Gladio-
lus. The first of the "Gandavensis
hybrids" being exhibited at meeting
of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society in 1858. From that day its
popularity has been rapidly growing.
For parlor ornamentation it is sup
erior. Place spike in water of which
the lower blooms are just opening, it
will 90 on and expand every flower
often continuing weeks in full beauty.
Some we exhibited at the fair in Oc-
tober, were not in blossom when cut,
but opened in the cars, attracting much
attention. and at the fair were admired
by all who saw them.
| Gladiolus culture is very simple.
Rank manure and cold damp soil are
misunderstanding of heating
tendency causing diseases.
As soon as the soil is dry and warm
| in the spring, fork the ground thor
| oughly, mixing in liberal supply of
well rotted cow manure, being careful
to mix it thoroughly with the soil.
Plant the bulbs from four to six inches
deep, according to size,-the largest
bulbs the deepest.
Having provided stakes, painted
green. when the shoot is eight inches
high give the first tying, a second
when the flower stalk appears. AS
soon as the bloom has faded cut off the
flower stalk, unless you wish to ripen
seed, but do not cut off the leaves un-
til yon take up the bulbs, about the
last of October, drying them in the sun
for day trim and clean, and preserve
until spring in cool, dry, frost proof
cellar.
Many varieties produce seed freely.
1t should be saved and there sown in the
frame, or in pots the next spring. The
plants grow rapidly, and usually bloom
the third year, but if given extra care
they will bloom in half the time. 1t
is a great pleasure to watch the de-
velopment Of large bed of seeding

ferent from the others, and often far
finer than imported varieties.

Canine Ravages on the Sheep Fold

Official reports show in Ohio an an
nual loss of 100000, sheep killed
by dogs, and nearly 81, 100000 in in
jnries-a loss equivalent to nearly 60
100000 pounds of wool, or tax of two
per cent, upon the total sum invested
in sheep in that state. 1t is said that
in two years, from 1868 to 1870, Hi
nois sank from the sixth to the ninth
rank among the states in they number
and value Of its sheep, and this great
falling off is attributed to proportio-
nate increase in the number Of dogs,
and lack of proper legislation to pre-
vent their ravages amoung the sheep
The legislature of Maryland are con-
sidering the same subject. The re-
turns from five counties report over
LOO sheep killed in one year by
dogs.

THE DELLs BILL.
The famous Dells bill was introduced in
the Assembly on the 9th, referred to q
committee and ordered printed. 1t will
prolong the session somewhat.
ONE TERN.
Mr.. Cary's joint resolution, endorsing
Senator Summers one term amendment
project, is favored for the most part by
Democrats only, and as there happens to
be a large Republican majority in both
houses, there is little chance for IFS pass
age.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
A bill making it compulsory for parents
to have their children between certain
ages attend school a given number of
months in each year, has originated in the
Assembly, as most bills do which do not
and aught not to pass.
MINORITY REPRESENTATION.
Mr.. Maxon has embodied two of his
hobbies in bill to provide for minority
representation and for biennial sessions Of
the Legislation. Exactly how he propose d
to have minorities represented is puzzle
which is not solved ty reading his BIZ.
Biennial sessions have proved cost ly
experiment whenever the system has been
adopted, and the people of Wisconsin
desire no change that is not for the better.
TEMPERANCE.
Mr.. Graham has made an elaborate re.
port recommending the passage of Assem-.
bly, bill No. I, to provide against the evils
resulting from the sale of intoxicating liz
uors. A law of this kind is asked for by
large number of the people of the State,
irrespective of party +; and yet it IS de.
nounced and bitterly opposed by leading
democratic papers rs radical party meas
urs, hoping thereby to disaffect the Ger
man element The same men who raise
this howl, opposed the election of Lieut..
Gov. Petit last fall, because he owned a
malt house. They were fearfully temper
ate then bnt now they oppose the pass
age of practical temperance law. while
Mr.. Petit is understood to be in favor of
it Out with such hypocrisy. Even the
Democratic party cannot afford to counte-
nance such course by its would-be
leaders.
TIE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION

point of numbers as in the practical and
varied ideas evolved, and suggestions
and information obtained. Some one
hundred farmers were present. II is recor
ded as remarkable fact that though this
was meeting of Americans, no resolutions
ever passed, no money called for, no organ
ization formed, and no individual axe
