Impatfence in Farmers.

Farmers must not expect to get rich
In day. They, like others, need more
of the old-fashioned patience that
"learns to labor and to wait" The most
calamitous OF all the results of the war
of the rebellion-more deplorable than
all the loss OF Lille and a greater burden
than the national debt--is the impatience
Of safe, moderate, and wholesome ways
of making money and of living. There is
disposition to get rich in a couple OF
years, a chafny and uneasiness in any
business which does not give speedy and
large returns. Speculative investments
are sought in farming. Farmers shift
their stock and change all their plans to
take up that which is on the top wave OF
success.
Now, between the old, stupid, obsti-
nate ways which conceded the value OF
no Improvement, and the moderate,
reckless grasping for a phantom, there
is middle ground which opens wide
the door Tor improvement, anu holds
abundant promise OF success. 1t is the
path which leads by thorough culture to
a higher productiveness OF The soil and q
larger digestive capacity of the animals
which consume the crops. That this
kind OF farming pays is susceptible Of

Cause Of Trichinm in Pork.

Some new cases OF deaths due to the

anew to the horrible diseases of swine
called trit ithinosis, and to the fact that,
wnen once the parasite attacks q human

literally bores its way out OF the stom.

not dainty in their tastes, and will lunch
of their dead relatives with Infinite
gusto; but 1t is the poorest economy to
permit hogs to assume the roll Of scav.

The Strife I'm England.

1t is evident from the dispatches Of the
last few days from England that matters
in some of the manufacturing districts
there are growing alarming. The opera
lives in the cotton mills aL Ashton, Sta
leybridge, DunKentield and Mossley have
struck for higher wages, and the masters
have responded with lockout. One
hundred mills have been. closed and
13, 900 hands thrown out of employment
at Oldham, and at Ashton fifty mills are
closed and 5000 hands thrown out OF
employment. The almost universal de-
preston of trade is the cause that pro-
duces this unfortunate state of things,
and there is no prospect of speedy ter
mination of the depression. Twenty or
thirty thousand persons suddenly de-
priyed of their only means OF livelihood
from q very dangerous element in the
manufacturing districts, and it would
not be surprising if scence of violence
were to be enacted that would call for
severe measures on the part OF the gov
ernment. 1t is very clear that the labor

The evidences OF changes taking place
in the heavenly bodies are now regarded
by astronomers as not less apparent or
striking than those which characterize
the surface of the earth. The most con-
vincing evidence Of such changes In the
heavens is furnished in the facts, as well
known, that certain stare have nearly
vanished from our sight; that new stars
have appeared; that many stars vary in
brightness, some regularly at stated In
tervals, and others quite irregularly;
and that some stars change their color.
A notable instance is, that OF the
very bright star in Cassiop@ia, observed
in 1872, but which, after diminishing
in brightness and varying in color,
finally disappeared in March, 1874; also
the very bright star which appeared in
Corona Borealis, IN 1866, and which is
still visible with greatly diminished lus-
tire. The sun Itself is regarded by some
astronomers as q variable star-a dark
central glowing Mass inclosed IN 1umi-
nous gaseous envelopes, the black spots
on its disk being, probably, vast rents in
these envelopes. As, too, the reyela-
tions of the spectroscope. have proved
that the chemical constitution of the

garded as highly probable that their
