The EGYPTIAN ARMY is achieving successes
over the Abyssinians The pleasant part Of
the story is that the American generals in the

over the English soldiers opposed to them.

The accumulation of practical legislation
made necessary by the late war and the con-
tingencies growing out of it doomed speech
making in Congress to a secondary place in
public and popular esteem In the House
itself all measures of national Importance
were shaped in the committee rooms and not
in Committee Of the Whole So general had
become the practice of relying upon the
committees for practical legislation that Con-
gress was only a ratifying body for the Sc
cret juntas constituted by the Speaker The
eloquence which at one time was wont to
electrify the country became a thing of the
past, and speechmaking was allowed to fall
into desuetude. In the Senate, it is true,
the freedom of debate was undisturbed, but
which obtained in the House was felt even
there, and it was only on field days, when
men like Sumner and Schurz and Conkling
took the floor, that the fashion of the capital
crowded the galleries At no time since the
war has anybody expected to hear q speech
worthy of oratory in the shear garden" of
the Republic With men like Blaine and
Randall and Banks and Wood in the House
there was no possibility of debate, as in the
old time, because the severity of the rules
was an effective check to all oratorical dis
play. The habit of making speeches merely
for their political effect, as was illustrated in
the Andersonville debate, has also helped
to stife statesmanlike argument If mat
ters are allowed to go on much longer
as they have been going speechmaking
in Congress will become one of the lost
arts, and we shall look back to the time of
Clay and Webster and John Quincy Adams
as the golden age of oratory as well as states
manship in this country,
1t has been too much the custom to
decry speech-making and to laud the
benefits of the sitting process. Even
jobbery could not be exposed on the
floor of the House, for five minutes,
which could only be obtained with diff
time to battle successfully with the schemes
of the lobby. Under such conditions modest
merit could not be heard in Congress at
all. Argument was supplanted by repartee,
and Jest was more effective than reason.
Cox came to the 'front.' while Dawes was
profanely referred to as the heavy father
of the House. Even General Butler could
not have been heard had not his tongue
been freighted with bitter words Up
to the present Congress, under republican
rule, it was only courage or favoritism which
could obtain a hearing in the House. We
trust the democratic majority will change all
this, and that both parties will be accordeda a
full and impartial hearing on the floor 1t
is time that all public questions should be
fully and fairly debated in Congress, and
the democrats will honor themselves and
benefit the country if they reopen the ave-
nues of debate and renew the speechmaking
era in our national councils Just now the
whole theory of our government is being
tested, but the test cannot be impartial or
beneficial unless all the representatives of
the people are fully and freely heard.

English Wheat Market.


The Mark Lane Oondon) Express,
in late issue reviewing the grain
trade. says:
1.-The wheat plant is now mostly
looking healthy and promising, and
there appears to be reasonable pros
pect of a moderate, if not fair, crop.
The acreage is short, owing to bad
seed time, which rendered 1t necessary
to SOW many fields originally intended
for wheat with beans or barley. tap
pears probable that the season of 1876
will be one of moderate crops of fair
quality, gathered at a somewhat later
period than ordinary. The wheat trade,
sustained as 1t has been for some time
by the continental demand, and the
possibility of political difficulties, has
entered upon phase of quiet, owing
to the cessation of foreign require
ments and the diminished attention
eastern affairs have commanded. AT
the same time supplies are being rap
Idly pushed forward from America
and Russia, and with the anticipated
enormous California crops in the back
ground, little probability exists of
prices advancing. A dropping ten
dency became apparent at the beginning
of the week, and the fine weather,
which has been pretty general through
out the kingdom, has checked the firm
ness which was upheld by the con-
sumptiye demand.v

Fall Flowing.

A correspondent gives his reasons
for fall blowing as follows: "By cxpe-
rience and observation | am satisfied
that all soils ought TO be plowed in the
fall, especially green sward, for sew
eral reasons. First, the sod rots dur
ing the winter, and thus supplies the
soil with nutriment ready prepared for
the young crop, Second, the Jumps
become pulverized sooner, permitting
the land to be stocked down in better
shape. Third, q team can work much
easier in the fall, and the farmer is less
hurried. The action of the atmosphere
upon the soil for longer time is also
beneficial"
a correspondent of an exchange,
discussing the same topic, says: 81
have tried fall blowing on light and
heavy soils. On light soils, which
never produce cakes and clods, it does
well. On heavy soils, it is commonly
detrimental. If followed by q dry Will
ter, it sometimes succeeds; but COM
monty it produces hard, cloddy soil,
which is long in becoming mellow. l
have known this hardness TO last full
year afterward. Even when the land
was thoroughly and regularly tile
drained, this unfavorable result fol-
lowed. 1t is therefore necessary to
use caution in blowing heavy or adj
hesive, clayey land in autumn, and as
a general rule it should be avoided"

Condition of Crops in Nova Scotia.

From our exchange, the Journal OF
agriculture of Halifax, Nova Scotia,
we take the following:
eve have not, in any former year,
had the satisfaction of presenting to
our readers series of reports upon
the farm crops of the Province so
promising as those contained in the
present number. 1t is true that in
wet fields much grass was winter
killed, that April and May were un-
propitious for cultivating the land or
putting in crops, except in exception
ally dry localities, or well drained
light soils. But the weather of June
has been everything that could be de-
sired for growth, and not unfavorable
for planting; we have had the heat of
July, in fact, with frequent warm
showers, and even late planted crops
have made rapid progress; the whole
country is now clothed in the freshest
verdure. The weather appears also
to have been unusually uniform
throughout the Province"

Let Others do Likewise.

A correspondent writing to the
Grange Correspondent of st. Louis,
gives the following as some of the live
work of his Grange. 1t means bust
ness, and thousands of Oranges could
adopt the idea with profit:
"Wc also offer a premium for the
best acre of wheat, oats, corn and cot
ton; also premium for the largest
ripe watermelon also premium to
the lady members for any cooked dish
of the best skill and taste. The said
premiums are all gotten up by private
subscription, not to be paid in money,
but in some farm implement or house
hold or kitchen venience. The
premium last year for the best acre OF
wheat was $21, and the premium for
the largest watermelon, So. Our
Grange also has committee OH edu-
cation, whose duty it is to visit the
schools in our jurisdiction, and see
that no children are detained from
school for want of means, and see that
the schools are properly taught, etc.
Our Grange passed a resolution at our
last meeting, authorizing the Lecturer
to buy book for the purpose of keep
ing crop statistics; for instance, when
the crop committee make their report
they say that corn is knee high the
middle of May, and the Lecturer takes
down the information in his book.
Why, ihes, next May, we can tell
whether our crops are in advance, or
an average. or behind, ETC."

THE FARMERS BOYS.
by JOHN \. cLINGAN.

out in every tempest, out in every gale,
Bufieiing the weather, wind storm and hail;
In the meadow moving, in the shady wood,
Letting in the sunlight where the tall oaks
stood,
Every fitting moment each skrful hand en-
pioys-
Bless me- how industrious are the farmers
boys.
Though the palm be callous holding fast the
pow.
The round check Is rudy, and the open brow
Has Nc lines and burrows wrought by evil
hours,
For the heart keeps wholesome trained in ma
lures bowers;
Healthy, hearty pastime the spirit never clogs,
Heaven bless the manly. rising farmers boys.
AT the merry husking, at the apple bee.
How their hearts run over with genial, harm
less glee,
bow the country maidens blush with con-
scieus bliss,
When the loving words are whispered with a
parting kiss.
Then the winter evenings with their social
joys.
Bless me, they are pleasant spent with the
farmers boys.

A Word Of Caution.

An exchange says: "Lists Of the
names and addresses of the Secretaries
of nearly all the Oranges in the United
States are advertised for sale in the
New York Herald, under the heading
of business opportunities 1t follows
that any swindler may easily procure
addresses, by which his circulars may
reach nearly every Grange in the coun-
try that they do obtain both lists and
victims is evident, and we cannot be
too earnest in urging Secretaries of
subordinate Oranges to be on their
guard and pay no attention to them
whatever. Do business through the
regular channels in the regular way.
This trying to make use of the Grange
machinery for selfish purposes is o
snare and fraud, and we again urge
our friends to havcnothing to do with
If.

Specialize Farming.

Farming, itself the mother of every
other employment and vocation, has
never been specialized or sub-div.ded,
as it should be, in order to be a sue
cessfnl or paying employment.
This is an age of research and dis
coyery: new sciences are springing in
to existence; old ones are being divid-
ed, e.g., every important organ in the
human body has class of physicians
devoted solely to its diseases; SO, also,
of law, etc. Farming should not be
behind in this onward march of pro-
gross.
THAT which is everybody's BUSH
ness is nobody's business" and the
man who is lack at all trades" never
understands or can successfully en-
gage in any one. just so the farmer
who depends little on every kind of
grain, stock and other farm product,
and not on any one in particular, will
come out at the end of the year with a
shallow purse.
The sections of our country in
which the farmers are the wealthy
and Independent class, are invariably
the sections devoted TO some particu-
lar branch of farming, which has been
found to be the one particularly
adapted TO that locality.
Farmers should raise variety of
grain, stock, fruit and vegetables, in
order that their tables may be sup
piled as the tables of sovereigns of the
soil should be, but they should depend
on one or two things for the bulk OF
their income
Some farmers, seeing others making
money out Of some particular crop or
kind of stock, forthwith rush whole
sale into the same speciality, without
the experience or means necessary to
succeed. They of course fail and lose
money; but, instead of learning IN the
school OF experience, and discovering
what their specially should be, they
rush wholesale into the first thing
that brings high price in the market,
and by the time they are ready to sup
ply the demand, others have giutted
the market, and they are compelled to
sell their large stock in hand at ruin
ouslY low prices.
Discover what your soil, market,
etc, are best adapted to, and stick TO
il, even though the seasons may be I'M
favorable for several years and the
market over-stocked, and you will
finally make farming pay as well as
the sheep raisers of Vermont, the
cranberry growers Of New Jersey, or
the wheat growers of the Northwest
and Pacific.-Cor. an. Farm Journal.

A fruit-grower in Valparaiso, South
America, writes to his local paper that
he has discovered a singular property
in tomato leaves. 1t appears that hav-
ing cut down some tomato vines, he
used them as "mulch" around his
peach trees. lie soon discovered that
the curculio, which had been destroy
ing his fruit, had abandoned the trees
surrounded by tomato vines. Follow
ing up this accidental discovery, he
found that the free use of tomato vines
proved a perfect protection, not only
against the curculio, but against other
noxious insects. He found also that
by sleeping in water some fresh leaves
Of the tomato and sprinkling the in
fusion upon other plants, such as roses
and orange trees, that the innumer-
able insects which covered them were
driven away. We commend this to our
