The Agricultural Society and its Fairs

The history Of agricultural societies and
fairs in Rock Island county is history
of failures. In the beginning the mana
gers showed such feeling of selfishness
and exclusiveness that the people generally
soon lost all interest in the fairs and the
society died-of rings.
When the present fair grounds were
purchased and fitted up there seemed to
be prospect Of success, and the exhibition
of manufactures, the mechanic arts, farm
products, and stock was quite creditable

Effects of a California SNOW Storm.

THE Indians living at the head OF Moiflt
Creek came upon band of deer showed
up in the mountains few days ago and
killed the entire band, numbering thirty
two head. They also found others lying
around dead, having starved, doubtless.
These deer had evidently taken refuge up
there from the storms, and the snow be-
came so deep they were unable to get out,
as the Indians saw the snow where the
deer were found trampled down by them.
The Indians also reported finding band
of horses showed in and starved to death
near the same place. This is, doubtless,
the band of wild horses that have been
running in that locality for some years.
This band was composed Of horses which
have from time 10 time straycd from their
owners in Shasta and Scott valleys, get
ting together and keeping in the noun
tains. They had become so wild that II
was impossible to catch any of them.
They have been a source of great annoy
ance to farmers, for if any Of their horses
got away and entered this band it was i'm
possible to recover them. The snow Is
about twelve feet deep where they were
! found -Yrekn (CaL.) Union.

Origin of the Great Lakes.

THE question Of the origin of the great
lakes is one that requires more observa.
ton and study than have yet been given
to it, says J. s. Newberry in the Michigan
Geological Survey, before we can be said
to have solved all the problems it in
wolves. There are, however, certain facts
connected with the structure of the lake
basins, and some deductions from these
facts, which may be regarded as steps al
ready taken toward the full understanding
of the subject. These facts and deduc
tons are, briefly, as follows:
|. Lake Superior lies in syncllnal
trough, and its mode of formation, there
fore, hardly admits of questions, though
its sides are deeply scored with ice marks,
and its form and area may have been
somewhat modified by this agent.
2. Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake
Erie and Lake Ontario are excavatcd ba-
sins, wrought out of once continuous
sheets Of sedimentary strata by mechan-
ical agent, and that ice OF water, or both,
That they have been filled with ice, and
that this ice formed great moving glaciers,
we may consider proved. The west end
of Lake Erie may be said to be carved out
of the coniterous lines stone by ice action,
as its bottom, and sides, and islands
horizontal, vertical and even overhanging
surtaces--are all furrowed by glacial
grooves, which are parallel with the ma
jor axis of the lake.
All our great lakes are probably very
ancient, as, since the close of the Devoni-
an period, the area they occupy has never
been submerged beneath the ocean, and
their formation may have begun during
the coal epoch.
This, at least, may be positively assert
ed in regard TO the agency of ice in the
excavation of the lake basins, that their
bottoms and sides, wherever exposed to
observation, if composed OF resistant ma
terials, bear indisputable evidence of ice
action; proving that these basins were
filled with moving glaciers in the last ice
PERIOD if never before, and that part, at
least, of the erosion by which they were
formed is due to these glaciers.

A Marriage Bept Secret for Two Years.

SOME ten or twelve years ago, d young
man named John McCarty came to this
city, and was employed by Mr.. Thomas
Miller, President of the Friend Street
Railroad Company. The young man was
industrious, attentive to business, and
gained the confidence of his employer to
such an extent that he was taken into the
family and advanced to position as time
rolled on, until he found himself Super
intendent of the road. During this time
he had saved his means, and, by judicious
investment, is at present worth perhaps
$4,000 or $4,000. Everything passed off
pleasantly between the employer and en-
ploye until last Monday.
The astounding information was then
conveyed to Mr. Miller that McCarty and
his daughter Maggie had been married
for nearly two years, and not a soul in
this city excepting the couple were in
formed of it. As the story goes, the
young people, in company with other
young folks. went to Cincinnati in April,
1874, and while in that city the nuptial
knot was tied. They returned home with
the party, and have kept the secret locked
within their breasts for two long years.
Only short time since Mr.. Miller pre-
scented this daughter with a house and lot,
which she recently sold for $4,000 or
S., 900. 1t is said that Mr.. Miller was so
incensed at their secret marriage that he
forbid his daughter and her husband re-
naming longer at home, and that they
are now out of the city. After the un-
pleasant feeling engendered by the par
entail surprise has spent itself, they will
in all probability be welcomed home;
just as such affairs have often occurred
and ended in the past, and as they are
bound to be repeated so long as an arrow
remains in Cupid's CULVER Col,mJus

i" Mclean Man."

NOT many people are aware that there
is genuine Chinese laundry in Des
Moines, owned and operated exclusively
by some Acknowledged Orientals that speak
only pigeon English and are but six
months distance from Pekin. Such is
the fact, and no small amount of sport
thequeer language there spoken furnishes
to the people living Fear the laundry.
Yesterday afternoon coal miner, black
in face and garment from the dust of the
mines, tumbled into the building and
curiously eyed the Orientals. He was un-
commonly heavily laden with beer. 1t
might b, an exaggcration to say that the
froth from the numerous glasses he had
drank was visible in his ears, but he was
extremely well filled. After scanning the
Chinaman and fixtures a short time, he
inquired:
"What kind of stores this? ~
No understandce," responded disci-
pie of Confucius
"What doin' here?' continued the
miner
Much washee; heap washee, Mclean

Dairy Schools in Nenmark.

IN connection with agricultural schools
there have been instituted in Denmark
schools for the education Of girls in all
that pertains to a dairy. There are sly
such schools in Denmark, all VERY pros
porous. One Of The principal Of these is
the "Thune Landbrugs Skole,' or agri-
cultural school of Thunc,
Attached to the school are about hun
dred acres Of land with dairy of twenty
COWS, but adjoining is a farm of 1870 to
l40 cows, of the Angelo kind, which was
brought into notice at the French Univer-
sal Exposition in 1856. This institution
is open for boys from Nov, 10Th to Aug.
LIST, and for girls iron Sept. Isl to Nov.
LIST. The girls for two months board
and tuition pay the low charge of thirty
five Danish crowns, or about eighteen
dollars.
A French writer who visited This insti-
tuition found in attendance sixty-two beau
titul and vigorous young girls. During
the morning they were engaged in the
dairy. Twelve, in four sets of three
each, received a hundred quarts of milk
wherewith to make cheese. Others were
engaged at the churn. Each girl goes
through all the processes connected with
milking and the use of milk, and these
are fully and clearly explained by the
teachers.
In the afternoon, the girls are taught to
reckon and keep accounts. They are also
especially instructed IN natural history,
the physiology of the COW, the best kinds
of nutrimcnt, the function of the MAN.
mary glands, etc. They also spend a
good deal OF the time in singing.
These schools are of great advantage to
the health and practical knowledge and
skill of the future wives and mothers of
Denmark. in their general features they
seem well worthy Of imitation. In one
particular their example is especially val
liable. One Of their chief aims is TO in.
culcate in the girls feeling of patriotism
or love of country. They teach them
that the permanent welfare of land de-
ponds in great measure on its agriculture,
and lead them TO cherish a preference for
a rural life rather than the greater luxury,
but weaker health and more frequent vi
cissitudes, of a crowded city. 1t would
indeed be well if by some means similar
lesson could be impressed on the minds
Of the maidens of our own land, who are
far too ready TO seek a home in the cities,
and thus to draw the young men thither
also.-Y0utNs C0mpdnj0n

Girls. Beware!

FOLLOWING is a copy Of a letter litho-
graphed on stone, and printed so as to re
semblc ordinary handwriting, which was
received in this city a few days ago, from
Philadelphia, signed Hayes, Arlington &
Brother. The letter was addressed to a
young woman, but as the carrier handed
it 10 her father at the door, he opened it
without looking at the address particular
~, and thus the affair fell into his hands
without his daughter seeing il at all. He
has forwarded it TO the Eag1e for publica-
ton, hoping that the false contents will be
be exposed, and people warned through
he columns of the Eagle. The letter read
rs follows:
Miss -: Our agcnthas been through
your city this month, sent especially by
us to gather the names of suitable young
ladies TO whom we propose TO give en-
ployment for at least four months during
the coming summer. We, of course,
want comely and respectable looking pee
pie, and your name is on our agents re-
port We have been selected by the Cen
tennial Committee to engage for them at
least 200 young ladies for the purpose OF
attending to the wristbands, act as cash
iers in the several retreshment depart
ments, sell tickets for the grand elevator,
take charge Of ncws-stands, sell pictures,
guide books, etc, attend to saltwater
fountains, and many other light and re-
spectacle situations. Besides paying you
well, say from eight to fifteen dollars per
week, including your meals, you will
have a fine opportunity of seeing the
grand Centennial Exhibition every day
You will therefore see the necessity of re-
plying early, as we want to engage every
body we want by the middle of April, and
then have them thoroughly drilled and
posted by the time the exhibition opens
We have decided to select young ladies
from ont of town, because the ncighbor-
ing cities should be benefited as well as
Philadelphia. OF course, your parents
will object TO your leaving home. 1t
would, therefore, be best for you to say
nothing about this until you are here and
then to write to them. However, you can
do as you please about that. We would
like to have you here by the 18Th of
April. Answer Immediately, when we
will send you letter of instructions how
to come to Philadelphia, how to see US,
and how to proceed. Your wages will be
decided as soon as you come, and paid to
you in advance for the first four weeks,
commencing the day after you get here"
The letter is undoubtedly calculated to
lead young girls into some sort of disrep-
utable net, and no attention should be
paid TO any Of that sort. The idea, proba-
bly,, is TO induce young women to go to
Philadelphia, and, once there, they will
soon fall into wicked hands. -Reading
