English Iron Interests.

The London Tunes is alarmed about the condition of the iron trade in England, which it says is being gradually closefl. The causes it assigns for the decline are the suc- cessful competition of the Units,d States for the control of the iron trafic with Can ada, the West Indies and South Amerlca, and the trouble with the strikers and the trades unions. How much of the result which the Tunes bemoans is due to the lat ter cause can only be determined on full study of the subject. It has probably had great deal to do with it. One thing, how ever, is evident-the importance which it ii possible for this country to maintain in the l active business of the world.

Sam Patcli's Last jump.

While in Rochester | met with Mr.
Hebbard, an old resident of Genesee
county, who saw Sam Patch make his
famous jump off Genesee Falls, thirty
or forty wears ago. He saws that Jump
day was great day in Rochester. The
people gathered for miles around to see
this intermittent American jumper, as
he performed his last feat.
Sam Patch had previously jumped
over Niagara. Then, saying some
things can be done as well as others, &"
he slashed around like Sergeant Bates
through the Western part of the State
to back up his proverb. Before his last
jump he bought big black bear off a
circus man, and led him over the turn
pike to Rochester.
The morning of the day came. Sam
had arrived III town with the black bear,
and the crowd rushed into Rochester
from miles around. Twelve O'Clock was
feet dOWn--down the terrible fall into
the boiling caldron below. A staging
had been built ont over the water, and
Sam appeared on the staging dressed in
a sailors fancy jacket. His friends now
took mp a collection on shore, while Sam
swung his hat and said after jumping
himself he would return and throw the
bear over. Then, amid death like
stiffness, he ran few steps and gave
one leap into the air and fell cutting
the mist like lead sinker, two hundred
feet into the seething whirlpool. As he
left the stage his body assumed an
oblique position, his head foremost, but
above his feet. As he struck the water
there was dreadful silence, while the
populace awaited with choking breath
his rcappearance. One minute---two
minutes---tlree minutes---and no signs
of the daring jumper. Then the people
set up loud wail---a long murmur of
sorrow.
This was the end of Sam Patch.
They say he had been drinking during
the morning, and failed to keep his feet
together and body perpendicular, as on
previous occasions, so when he struck
the water the breath left his body, and
he was knocked senseless. A month or
so afterward they found his body away
down below Rochester, drifted upon the
rocks

Fall IN Love with Your Business.

II We wefe going to Htite pr apriqul-
tural axiom which we do not remember
to have seen written it should be No
man has any right to be farmer who is
not in love with the business, or We
might put it in this form, No man can
be model farmer who does not love his
business" The truth is, no man can
succeed as he ought to in any business
if he does not take pride in it and pros
ecutc it con amore. We never knew a
farmer to be thrifty, tidy about his
premises. owning good stock and rails
ing large crops, who did not try to gain
---nay, who did not derive pleasure from
the eter- changing and constantly reeur
ring phenomena of farm life.
Fall in love with the business, young
man, if you would be a successful and
notable farmer. The farm should be
made not only q source of revenue, but
tile canvas on which Foii are to produce
your ideal picture Of m earthly para
disc The artistic nature of the man
may be developed and may develop
itself as well in the ensemble Of the
farm as if the man were simply paint
er And this may be done without any
SHtlllltt VI DIi'iiCuI 'ti'i pttuhiui' It-
suits; for the artistic qualities will de-
velop system, order, symmetry, and
adaptation where ordinarily there is
chaos and dissipation of force instead
of concentration of it in the execution
of purpose or plan.
Love of the business will stimulate
the use of every resource available in
order to attain the highest results. No
farmer who is proud of his vocation and
enjoys the discharge of its duties can
remain ignorant; nor can he neglect to
avail himself of all possible current in
formation tending to increase his power
to produce and to diminish the cost of
production. Such man will find no
time to lounge at the post-ofiice, the
hotel, or the corner grocery, and talk
politics or scandal with his neighbors.
His plans for beautifying and improving
his home, or for promoting the fruitful
ness of his soil, will develop faster than
he can execute them. Every step he
takes on his farm will bring him sug-
gestion. Every new view he stops to
enjoy will suggest other possibilities.
Each experiment will suggest another,
and each discovery will open broader
field for inquiry. Such man will
laugh at those who whine about the iso-
lation of farmers; his resources will
never fail

The earthquake shocks of Bee. 18th,
on the northwestern coast, are said to
be the first ever felt so farnorth. They
do not appear to have been very severe,
and caused but little damage. In Port

clocks stopped. Shocks were felt at
intervals in Aurora, Oregon City and
other towns on the Columbia River, as
well as at UmatiHa, Dalles and Wallula.
At the latter place the first shock was
heavy, lasting fifty seconds, and was
followed by five lighter ones. During
their continuance the thermometer fell
from thirty to twenty-six degrees. At
Seattle the shock was very heavy, frame.
