THE GREAT FARMER OF THE
WORLD,

WORLD,
The great farmer of the world,
DR.. Hugh ]. Glenn, Of Jacinto, Co
lusa county, California, has raised
and harvested the past season on his
own farm, 100000 bushels of wheat.
This would load, eighteen /, 700 ton
ships, or three hundred canal-boats.
All this wheat he has now in his
own warehouses, ready for shipment
when the water in the Sacramento
river rises sufficiently. The Doctor
pays $4,000 freight to put his
wheat in San Francisco. The Doc
tor is a wonder to the agricultural
world and to himself He runs
ninety gang plows and a whole coun
ty population in the harvest, with a
dozen threshers. His farming is not
confined to wheat alone. He mar
kets 100000 worth of stock each
year. DR.. Glenn is a practical
farmer and manages all his immense
business himself. He can mend
trace and make key to an OK bow
with his jack-knife, just as easy as
drawing his check for 500, 900,
which he can do every day in the
week. DR.. Glenn has only expert
enced one surprise during the year,
and that was when friend inform
ed him that a panic had entered the
land. Glenn is a big-hearted man;
was born in Augusta county, Virgin
ia, and does honor to the 'Old Do
minion." Send the medal to Glenn.
The st. Louis Democrat well says
this will make the average Granger
open his eyes, and goes on to say
that DIR. Glenn came to Missouri
when quite young, in which State
his father still lives. In 1849 he
went to California, and after mining
awhile bought rancho and ran il
with great profit. He added TO il
until his farm now numbers $4,000
acres.

A CURIOUS STORY. When Napo-
leon the Great died at St. Helena,
an English physician took charge Of
his heart, depositing it in silver
basin filed with water. Two Ia
pers burned near it, but the custo-
dian felt nervously anxious while
watching it through the night, and
and did not sleep. In the silence Of
midnight he heard rustIing sound,
then a plunge into the water, and a
rebound on the hoor-all occurring
with the quickness of thought. He
sprung from his bed to see an enor-
nous rat dragging the precious relic
to its hole A moment more and
the heart which had been to vast in
its ambition to be satisfied with the
sovereignty of continental Edrope,
would have been more degraded than

Washing" Postage Stamps.

WAsHINGTGN, Oct. 30.-In para
graph OF the Report of the Third As
sistaut Postmaster General for 1874, al
fusion was made to the immense loss
To the Department by the washing
of postage stamps. 1t was estimated
that nearly 81 900, 900 year was lost to
the Government, or about one-fifth of
the total receipts from the sale of
stamps. The fact was publishe ed in the
principal newspapers of the country,
and ultimately found its way to prob
ably every village in the land. The
effect of such widespread publication
has been to stimulate individual effort
to destroy the evil, and the Depart.
ment has consequently been flooded
with propositions to that end. Many
of these schemes are absurd; large
number, Offering better claims to at
tention, have yet contained some obs
jectionable feature which would render
their adoption impracticable, while
others are so elaborate or expensive
that their purchase and use i'm the 35,-
900 Post Offices of the country would
necessitate greater expenditure of
mOnep than the amount of loss they
are intended to prevent. Among the
most plausible projects presented are
the employment of fugitive colors in
the printing of postage stamps, or of
indelible inks in canceling the stamps
now in use but there may be objec-
tions to the first of these propositions,
and with regard to the latter there has
been no difficulty in discovering SOL
vents for most of the inks submitted
which render their removal from
stamps a comparatively easy and mex
pensive process. In short, the tests
and Investigations thus far made, in
volving vast amount of time and la
Dor and annoyance, have been produc-
tive of no absolutely good results, and
as it is probable that any further eX-
pertinent in this direction will prove
equally futile, the Department has de
cided to close the subject, and to con
slider no more propositions in relation
to it,-Special to n. Y. Tribune.

The Deplorable Condition of State
Credit.
10 tile Editors Of the Chronicle;

TO tile Editors Of the Chronicle:
Will the State of Tennessee be will
ing to remain under the disgrace that
now hangs over her regarding the
deplorable condition of her State credit;
or will she rise in the majesty of her
strength and hurl from power those
who have thus plunged their State in
the disgrace that now hangs over it?
The same party that inaugurated
initiation" in Ohio as an entering
wedge for the future reputation of the
national debt have been the party in
power in our State, and in their future
designs have been more outspUken
than their more cautious neighbOrs.
With them initiation and reputation
were to be one and the same thing,
The first was to be the entering wedge
to accomplish the other. They favored
the financial experiment tried by ex-
confederacy, and by this means in-
tented to rid themselves of the entire
national debt. Flattered by the power
they were gaining the national coun.
ellis, they boldly fore-shadOwed their
future designs. The Democratic
speakers on the stump, those
late friends of the "lost cause"
were loud and outspoken on this sub.
ject. As in the general Government,
so in the State governments the spirit
of reputation has run current with
their leaders, and to-day you can find
only as an exception to the rule Dem
ocratic leader in the South who is not
in ia, or of reputation in both State
and National Governments.
Let us at once set about eXulceratiDg
our State from the present corruption'
that have brought il so low, and purify
the body polite and rid the Stat,
council. Of the present repudiators tina
now infest it. IL.
