American Farms.

The great Improvements that have
taken place in transportation, which make
it possible for the wheat of Iowa and Cal
ifornia to compete in the English markets
with that raised on the Atlantic seaboard
and which place Iowa in competition with
New England, operated to specialize
farming. The large farmer Of today
raises fewer kinds on his farm than did
the small farmer the last century. This
specialization allows the use of higher
appliances and the use of capital as the
former system could not. The true farms
have doubtless grown in size on the aver
age. The early settlers Of necessity could
till but small farms. The tax list of Long
Island for the years between 1878 and 1885
shows that in nine English towns the aver.
age land holding was about twenty-five
acres, and in the five Dutch towns about
thirty-seven acres, or for the whole four
teen towns it was twenty-five and one
third acres, and at hat time over 90 per
cent. of the taxpayers were 1andholders.
The national census of 1870 cnumerates
100000 farms, only 81 per cent. of
which were less than ten acres, and more
more than half of the whole number con-
tanned over fifty acres. The cash value of
the farms, implements and live stock was
placed at upward of $11 ,OO0, coo, 900, and
the total estimated value of all the farm
productions at about $2,44S, OOO, 900. OF
the 12,5OO,000 persons b" engaged in all
classes of occupation 5000 600 were en-
gagged in agriculture. We have absolutely
no statistics of the agriculture of the colo
MES at the time of the Revolution, there
fore the actual figures Of progress cannot
be given, and we refrain from estimates.

Disagreeable Inmates.

A young man named Henry Futcher
applied to DR.. Dinde the other day, asking
relief from a terrible pain in the side Of
his head which was driving him almost
to distraction. His head was swelled and
the blood slightly oozing out of his ear.
The doctor examined the ear and observed
something wiggling far in toward the
drum. Dipping q feather in carbOlic
acid he inserted it in the ear and was sur
prised to see large maggot hop out. He
then injected some acid, killing the rest
of the maggots, which tumbled out where
he could reach them with pincers, and in
this way he removed seven large maggots
of peculiar kind. They were about half
an inch long and an eighth of an inch
thick, larger at the head than the tail and
formed Of succession of rings. Ex-
smined under a microscope the maggots
were found to possess three sharp horns
in their heads with which they dug their
way into the flesh. They had dug IN the
ear considerably and were piercing the
drum. In fact Futcher had been unable
to hear with that ear for some time. The
pain caused by these animals was almost
unbearable and yet the real cause had not
been suspected. The doctor made in
quiries and searched authorities, but is
unable to find q like case recorded He
supposes that some fly or insect must have
bowed In the ear. He has preserved the
maggots in alcohol and the seven of them
almost fill common phial.-OsAkosA

A New York Sinecure.

The only man known to receive nav
without performing his daily labor is the
present Deputy Comptroller, Philip
Phelps. His case is a remarkable one, as
indicating the care which States some
times extend to faithful public servants
the only element Of sentiment in the
whole range of public business at the
capital. Philip Phelps was a man of forty
years of age when, having served for
years in the lower grades about the Comp
troller's office, he was appointed Deputy
Comptroller by William L. Marcy, in
1927. He has remained Deputy Comp
troller ever since, serving faithfully under
Silas Wright, Azariah G. Flagg, Willard
Fillmore-until that official resigned the
position for the Vice Presidency Wash
iDgton Hunt, Sanford E. Church, Lucius
Robinson and the other famous financiers
OF the State, up to the present incumbent.
IN 1863, having then served over forty
years, he was compelled to absent himself
from his desk by reason of old age and
tcebleness, and he has remained away ever
since. But On the recommendation of
Comptroller Allen his salary and his posi-
lion were continued to him, and the office
OF Second Deputy was created to perform
the duties which this aged official was no
longer able to perform. Mr.. Phelps still
lives comparatively comfortable on his
salary of - 900 in his own house, at No.
1875 Hamilton street, in this city At the
end of every quarter his warrant is car
ried to him by messenger, he signs it
with flourish, inquiries anxiously after
affairs in the office, expresses a fear that
he cannot get around for some time yet,
and takes his installation of pay with a
sigh. In consideration of special service
performed by Mr.. Phelps when he was
ON active duty, by which the State was
saved $4,000, the Legislature, in 1857,
passed an act entitled IAN act to provide
suitable compensation for Philip Phelps
for his faithful services as Deputy Comp
troller,'' testimonial of regard not often
found among the statutes.-AlbanyC Cor. N.

The New Postal Cards.

The POstoffice Department has adopted
design for postal cards, and the plates
from which they are to be printed will he
received at the manufsctOry in this city in
a day or two. The color is to be light
gray, and the superfluous printed matter
and lines on the old cards are to be entire
ly done away with. On the upper left
hand corner is simply the monogram ~.

" Postal Card" On the right-hand corner
is the stamp, nearly square, instead of
elliptical like the old, the sides of the stamp
being ornamented with emblematic figures
and over the top the words ~. 8. Post

Cent" both inscriptions to be surrounded
with scroll-work. The center of the stamp
will contain profile Of the Goddess of
Liberty, and the ground of the stamp will
be ruled instead of solid, as formerly.
There will be no water-mark on the paper,
which is to be of higher finish than before,
and the printing will be in black ink. Of
the new card, forty instead of thirty-six
will be printed on a sheet, and the Post
Office Department has recently authorized
POstmastefs to issue them in quantities of
10000. The new card is to be much bet
ter adapted to general use than the old,
and the manufacturers anticipate marked
increase in the consumption. The report
just compiled by First Assistant Postmas-
ter-Gen. Barber shows that 1O7, SIC, 900
postal-cards were sold during the fiscal
year which ended June 30, against o.
097 900 issued during the preceding year,
an increase of about 10 1-6 per cent. The
supply OF cards at the factory in this city
has for some time exceeded the demand,
and about 100000 are generally kept on
hand.-Springfeld Mass.) Republican.

Religion of tho HindOOs.

A writer, speaking of the art examples
in the new India Museum, thus character
ICES the religion of the Hindoos: 1.-THE
central idea of the religion of so many
Aryan people, that of the incarnation Of
the Deity, is fully illustrated Ivy many of
the quaint, symbolic forms of the HindOo
Pantheon. A key to the whole is supplied
in drawing, to which we direct attention.
1t shows the ten incarnations of Vishnoo.
Philosophically regarded, it speaks OF
that development and advance in organic
life which, geology teaches us, has ruled
since the first appearance beneath the
waters of the earliest ocean, Of the SIM
plest living forms. The creative energy is
first represented or embodied in the fish.
Then in the reptilian semi-aquatic type of
the turtle. Then in the terrestrial form of
the boar. 1t is natural to those whose
physiological knowledge is imperfect to
place the carnivora, although really of
simpler organization than the herbivora,
above them in the ascending series. Thus
the Lion-god follows the Pig-god. Then
appears the pigmy or little man as he may
be seen among the Bosgesmans or the
Esquimaux. Sixth is the form of Ram,
or the fully developed man, apt to labor.
He is armed with an ak. Next comes war
like man-Ram with bow. Agriculture
is a more advanced stage of life than that
of the hunter. The eighth incarnation is
Ram with pillow. Ninth comes Boodha,
or the religious man. Tenth-the hope
which is not special to Hindoo mythology
the Coming King, denoted by the mar
tificial couplct:
When Kalki mounts his milk.white steed,
Heaven, earth and all will then recede.
The frequently.expressed form of the ele-
phant-god, although expressing an idea
not foreign to some of the preceding, is
not included in this series, and as an off
spring of tropical climate must be Of
differeat date. The excellence of the
bronze work of some of these figures is o.

How Talleyrand Ate and Slept.

1t is said that Talleyrand tasted of food
but once day, and then at dinncr-time,
when he ate enormously. To prepare this
meal to his liking ten men were regularly
employed in the kitchen. Among them
were four chicfs-the rotisseur, the saul
cier, the patissicr and the officer. The
business of the last was to superintend the
preparation of the dessert, the ices and the
confitures. The dinner produced by this
staff of skillful artists was not only ex-
quisite in its material and appointments,
but every dish was chosen with regard to
its special adaptation to the Princes
health. The essence of everything that
was nutritious was presented in the form
most digestible by an infirm stomach.
The Prince was accustomed to taste of
every dish placed before him, following
each mouthful with sip of the finest
wine. 1t was said by those who knew
him that the prolongation Of his life was
owing to the talent of his cook rather than
to that of his physician. The Prince was
possessed of an immense fortune; his cook
was allowed to spend an unlimited amount
on the table, and was frequently asked
why no larger sums were used. The Ca
pacity of Talleyrand to live upon one meal
day was matched by his ability to do
without sleep. His pulse regularly inter
mitted, pausing at every sixth beat, and
to this strange circumstance he ascribcd
his habltually slight need Of rest. Two
OF three hours at most were all that he
gave to sleep. His bed was made with a
deep slope in the middle, rising equally
at the head and feet. "At four lie will 20
to bed, sitting nearly bolt upright in his
bed, with innumerable night-caps on his
head to keep it warm, as 10 said, and feed
vent his injuring the seat of knowledge
if he tumbles on the ground; and he
sits upright for his tendency to apoplexy,
which would no doubt seize him if per
fectly recumbent. We may remember the
newspapers stating he was found, few
years ago, his head having dropped from
his pillow, so drowned in blood that no
feature was to be seen. Although he goes
to bed so late, at six, or seven at latest, he
wakes and sends for his attendants"

Of blood and the physicians pronounced
his case fatal and refused to do anything.
But through Mrs. Shute's entreaties one
Of them gave her husband dose of icc-
water and the bleeding was stopped. The
wounds were not dressed until seven the
next evening, the physicians declining to
give useless pain to, as they thought, a
dying man. A few days ago Mr.. Shute's
right eye was taken out. Exactly in the
center Of the eye-ball was a small bullet.
The bullet that entered under the left ear
broke off and carried before it q splinter
from the spinal column about the size of
q pea. This bone was afterward found by
the side Of the bed. The second bullet,
that grazed the lobe of the left ear, went
obliquely under the left eye and lodged
behind the pupil Of the right eye. Since
the removal of his right eye Mr.. Shute has
almost recovered his health and has been
able to see much better with his left eye,
which had long been near-sighted.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

The Toronto Globe mentions the death
of "Gen. F. p. Blair, who for a long time
filled successfully the Office of Postmaster.
General of the United States"
The wife and daughter of Bishop
Cummins, of the Reformed Episcopal
Church, have been giving concerts at
Lutherville, Nd, where they are spending
the summer season, to aid in raising funds
for the Bishops church in Baltimore.
Lands and Carruth, of Vineland, have
come, 1t is said, to an amicable under.
standing of their difficulties, and have
agreed to forgive and forget. Mr.. Lands
has agreed to pay all of the expenses
growing out of the shooting, and Mr.. Car
ruth has promised not to bring suit against
him. 1t is intimated that the State will
not let so serious matter drop so quietly,
but will bring the case into court. Mr..
Lands is said, however, to have taken
his departure from Vineland, and nothing
can be done until he is found.
Herr Dope, of Boston, professor of
music, has invented curious method of
learning to play the piano forte. Heraises
the piano by means of wooden blocks
placed under the legs to such q height
that when the player sits on the ordinary
music stool he has to hold his hands on a
level with his eyes in order to reach the
keys. Herr Deppe thinks this is the true
position in which to cultivate and acquire
strength and delicacy of touch. He has
many pupils, and some Americans study
ing under his direction write from Berlin
that he has found the very secret of Liszts
wonderful power on the piano.
An extensive printing-house, supplied
with facilities for stereotyping and print
ing books upon large scale, and which
is intended to give employment to nearly
200 workmen, has been established in the
village Of Rouse's Point, N. Y, on the
Canadian line. The popularity of this
enterprise consists in the fact that Rouse's
Point is very small village, with no
trade to speak Of, and that the owners OF
the printing-house are Canadians who
have set up their establishment on Amer
lean soil in consequence of provisions OF
law in regard to copyrights which give
American publishers an advantage over
Canadians in the reprinting of Englisl,
books for the Canada market. In Canada
no English book can be reprinted without
the permission of the author, whose copy
right extends to the Dominion; while in
the United States publishers can reprint
any English book and send it into Canada
for sale on paying duty of 12h per cent
which is collected for the benefit of the
author. The Canadian publishers who
have located in Rouse's Point think il
cheaper to print their books in this coun.
try and pay 1219 per cent. than to deal di'
rectly with the English authors.
