The Hon Field.

A letter from Madison county, N. Y,
to the San, says The hop harvest is
ended, and the yield has proved much
larger than for many years, while the
quality is said to be excellent. The
European crop is also large this year,
which fact causes the prices to fall.
Last year the hops brought readily
forty cents per pound; this year the
highest price offered by the buyers is
fifteen cents, and many farmers have
sold their entire crop for eleven cents
per pound.
The hop harvest begins about Septem-
Der l, continuing six weeks, and it
proves a harvest indeed, not only to the
farmer, but to the laborer, and his en-
tire family, down to the little five-year-
old child, all of whom are drafted into
the field to pick hops. The price paid
for picking is forty cents box, holding
seven bushels. A good picker can fill
five boxes a day. Many poor families
in this way earn fifty dollars during the
harvest.
A hop field under September sun
presents busy and merry scene; the
air resounds with songs and laughter,
and when evening comes the young peo
pie gather in the large farm kitchen fol
chop Dig" and dance until tired ma
ture demands rest.
The potato crop in this region is this
year large, and the potato beetle il
called humbug. The farmers are sell
ing potatoes for twenty-five cents pc
bushel. Last year they sold readily fo
sixty cents. There are many fine apple
orchards in this vicinity, but this yea
the crop is failure, Other crops, sucl
as wheat, oats and grass, have beel
abundant.

A Confirmed Sniritualist.

Capt. Eben Ward left an immense
fortune to be contested for by his heirs
before the courts of Michigan. AT the
trial it was shown that the services of
mediums were invoked by Capt. Ward,
not only in regard to the affairs of his
family, but they were his constant re-
course in matters of business. When
he wanted advice on railroad affairs, he
procured a consultation with the spirit
of Dean Richmond, and none of his nu-
merous mining ventures were under
taken without an interview with the
spirit of German geologist, who an
swered to the euphonious name of
Cabbage john" This appears to have
been Capt. Wards familiar spirit. At
the dictation of the deceased German he
sent out expeditions in search of silver,
and he obeyed orders from the same
source in all his transactions, and in
making his will, which left his property
to his second wife, neglecting the family
of his first wife.

A Woman who Smoked.

A Pottstown letter says: A gentleman
and lady, elegantly dressed, entered the
smoking car of the afternoon express
train down at Reading, yesterday. The
conductor, Mr.. Samuel Frescoln, who is
proverbial for his courtesy and polite
ness, informed the man of his mistake,
and was answered in this wise "Well,
sir, whose business is it f; don't I smoke,
and don't my wife smoke, and amt this

The physiognomy of the usually
bland puncher of pasteboards underwent
o visible change as he uttered the reply
of GAN right, my dear SIR" A moment
later the man handed cigar case to his
wife, who, with her delicate fingers,
selected dark colored Havana, and the
next both were putting away, seemingly
as contented as wood-choppers The
couple were spiritual mediums. Miners

Reading for Young People.

The Tribune criticises severely the
kind of literature provided for boys and
girls, which, says the editor, is too often
habby, gushing and pretentious. 1t at
tempts muscle and ends in mush; it
adorns the tale at the expense of the
moral, and is as far below the fine old
English models as it well can be. There's
little that is rich, strong and healthy
about it, and yet it is the stuff, outside
textbooks, that chiefly helps to make
the brains of schoolboys and girls be-
tween the ages of twelve and sixteen.
When the supply fails the young people
are naturally not slow to take up those
novels which are even more weak and
gushing.
1t is useless to infict upon young peo-
pie daily compulsory stint of dry his
tory and drier essay. The teacher who
is really wise and accomplished under
stands very well how to awaken and to
train an active and delighted interest in
the best thought and the noblest literary
manner. If nothing but novel appeals
at present to the young girls capacity,
give her novel; bullet it be standard
in conception and execution. There
is not much danger of surfeiting chill
dren with writing too old for them
every teacher who knows his business
thoroughly knows how the fields of his
tory may be made to blossom undel
young eyes; how childish imagination
take fire between the flint of motive anC
the steel of action when both are bril-
liantly rehearsed; and how even thu
bones of inference and deduction ar
made lively by eager young minds
Girls and boys who are not stupiC
naturally delight in splendid descrip
tion, in good sense, and in simple Eng
lish.

A VERY interesting discovery has
lately been made on the Esquiline HILL
Rome. Not far from the walls of Rome
at the period of the kings the workmen
have uncovered n solid wall covered
with yotive inscriptions, in which an
allusion is made to the worship Of Ju-
piter, hitherto unknown, and The name
of city is mentioned unheard of before
The greater part of the votive inscrip-
tons appear to have been made by
soldiers of the Fifth and Sixth Legion,
which were probably encamped in the
"Castrum Pretorium." Other in
scriptions appear to belong to native
citizens of Dalmatia. The exca-
vations will continue .till this wall,
probably forming part of temple to
Jupiter, shall have been completely ex-
posed. These Inscriptions, for the
most part, are well preserved, and will
be placed in the museum of the Capital.
A small statuette Of Jupiter, without
head, has also been found.

INTERVIEWING CASE.
The besthen Chinee not satisfied

The besfhen Chinee not satisfied
with monopoliziDg the washing and
ironing business on the Pacific Coast,
extended his sway eastward and planted
colony in the great State of New
Jersey. In short time the city of
Newark submitted its soiled linen to
his manipulations, and Jersey men be-
came regular contributors to the income
of the Celestial Empire. The washing
and ironing was performed in manner
alike creditable to the Chinese and sat-
isfactory to the Newarkers, and every
thing went along smoothly until jeal-
ousies crept into the Chinese quarters.
A row ensued, which eliminated in an
attempt on the part of Ling Coon to
dissect rival named Ben Sing. Friends
took the part of their respective favor
ties in the row, and the cutting affair
was submitted to the arbitrament of a
Newark Court. Mr.. Coon was ar
rested, indicted and brought to trial.
Numerous witnesses were snbpenaed,
in fact the whole colony assembled at
the Court house, but the crier vainly
attempted to call the names of the wit
nesses and gave it up in despair. This
was the first case to which Cinnamon
were the parties that came before the
Court, and his Honor desired to impress
the heather with the dignity of New
Jersey Court. His efforts came to
nought, however, and the innocent wit
nesses, so childlike and bland, testified
in turn that white was black and black
was white. The sagacity of the Celes-
tials, who positively refused to give di-
rect answers toisimple questions, put
the lawyers in quandary and per-
picked the Court, who then and there
solemnly covenanted with each other
never to patronize u Chinese washmaD,
and to support no man for Congress
who would not give bonds to introduce
bill prohibiting the emigration of
Chinese to the State. The Court, on
general principles, charged the jury
strongly against the prisoner, and the
jury agreed that all the Chinese in
Newark deserved Imprisonment for
life. The prejudice created by the
case has greatly damaged the prospects
of the colony, and the washing business
is reverting to the whites and blacks.
