Our industrial Colleges.

1t is a fact to be regretted that most OF
the glory Of scholarship still clusters
around the classics. The institutions that
are to instruct the young men Of our
country in agricultural, chemistry, civil
and mechanical engineering, and other
branches of practical importance to the
development and growth Of the country,
are neglected and passed by. The lead
ing journals Of the land vie with each
other in lauding these classical institu-
tl0ns, but never mention those that are
fitting their students for the hard, prac-
teal labor Of life-labor that demands
mental ability as well as'physical energy.
And whoever heard Of large legacy or
donation to one OF our industrial schools;
OF the many mcritOrious institutes we
might Eame, but three or four have OBJ
tanned any notorletY; the rest remain in
comparative obscurity, sustained by pure
ly local patronage or the original grants
OF the Government.
The popularity Of our classical institu-
tons annually draws hundreds of young
men, who pass through the curriculum OF
study, and enter what are termed the
learned professions, without possessing
why we have so many second and third
rate lawyers, doctors and preachers
Hundreds OF good farmers, mechanics,
engineers and business men are spoiled
every year in the attempt to make some
thing else out of them, for which they
are not adapted. Would it not be wise,
instead of heaping a. surplus of means
upon these institutions and giving them
all the credit and glory, to pay greater
attention to our more practical insttu-
tons that iii men to build our railroads,
tunnel our mountains, bridge our rivess-
and develop our mineral and a&Ticujtural
resources. This is aeFs7llnentiy a practical
age and oaF young men do mot need to
e6{8Rfne with the old pagans of long
ago to prepare them for it.
Greek and Latin and polite literature
are all right in their places, but they
never built a railroad, constructed a
bridge, developed a mine, originated a
useful implement or device, improved the
agriculture Of country, or designed,
undertook and carried through to sue
cessful completion an Exhibition like that
of 1876, which placed the United States
where she belODgs-in the front rank Of
industrial progress.
There is a vast need in this country,
with its boundless resources, of improved
systems of farming, and farm nipple
ments. 1t is a very moderate view to
say that the average agreeable produce
might be increased fifty per cent. in all
leading crops. In nothing are we so far
behind as in agriculture, and nothing will
improve this state of things more than
literally endowed and well-turnished col
leges and schools, where young men ar
rived at the age when business for life is
selected, can have an opportunity OF Sc
curing a thoroughly practical education.

The audEaOIdeF.

No country eau expect to be prosper
Gus unless it has a prosperous
yeomanry. The history Of the world
establishes this fact. When the yeo-
nanny Of the land are prosperous, every
industry fiourishes; but when they Ian
guish, every industry suffers The land
ed interests of the country ought to be the
object Of the first solicitude Of the legisla-
tor-but instead of this, the interest of
the bondhoIders have been promoted and
ADVANCED, and the interests Of the land
holders have been made to suffer. The
real estate Of the country is not worth
half what it was ten years ago, but the
bonds owned by men Of capital have been
kept up, and will be kept up by legis-
lation, however direful may be its effects
on the landed interests Of the country.
All interests should be treated alike
No favoritesm should be shown to any
interest or class. This is the true idea
Of Republican government, and this les
son must be learned by the American
people The moneyed classes have been
shaping the legislation Of this country
for the past dozen or more years, and in
what condition do the people find them
selves? Let the people answer.

The Peach BOrer.

September is the month to examine
every peach tree for the borer. Its pres
ence is very easily determined by exam
ing the base of the tree, near the ground,
and if any gum or dust of the wood of
the tree is to be found, the borer is at
work. Dig it out, destroy it, or it will
destroy the tree. Half of the peach trees
that are planted are killed by the borers.
Eternal vigilance is the price of success

meet with success in raising fine fruit that
Goes not have his heart in his work, at
tend to things at the right time and in
the right manner, and raise, pick and
pack fruit in the best manner, in order
TO obtain the best prices.
