II seems important enough to the radical

TO this country about seven years ago for his
health, and is now engaged in teaching He
was invited some time since by Superin-
tendent Orton, Cyrus w. Field and others To
lecture and give exhibitions here and he
now proposes to neglect his professional
duties somewhat in order to give lectures
upon his discovery.
In considering the results of Professor
Bells discovery Mr.. Cover was probably not
more sanguine than another would be who
had seen it do so much that was wonderful.

"and the high prices which come of batter
les and instruments and skilled labor and
all the complicated list of apparatus at pres

lessor Bell, Mr. Cover SAYS is overrun with
applications for his instrument but he is
holding off until he is satisfied that he has
made it the best that is possible. The pro-
lessor is anxious to try the Atlantic cable.
and has hopes that. considering its perfect
insulation, he may speak and be heard a
thousand leagues away.
The exhibition here will be only one of
two. There will be telephones stationed
here, in New Brunswick and in Trenton.
New Brunswick will be the point of opera
ton, and the words of Mr.. Cover, who will
be there stationed, will be heard stimuli

THE UNION BANKING COMPANY

The failure of the Union banking com
pany, Of Philadelphia, has had but little eff
feet in the money market either IN Phiia-
delphia or elsewhere. When Ii was first an
nounced the reason given for il was the al
lodged defalcaticn OF the cashier, James A
Hill. 1t nov turns out that the president of
the bank, Mr.. N. @. Musselman. is as deep in
the mud as bis cashier Is in the mIre. He
was arrested last Wednesday evening and
held in $4,000 bail TO answer a charge of the
Incorporation Of the banks funds. When
the law against dishonest and defaulting
bank officers is r,gidly enforced, there will
be less Specializing in stocks and grain on
margins by bank officers than there now is.
Speculation is what broke the Cook County
National bank Of Chicago, the First National
hank of franklin, and now causes the Union
banking company TO stop payment The
severest penalties OF the law should be Wis
tied upon any bank officer who uses the
funds OF bis bank in every other than legti-
mate ways, and until this is done we may
oontinue TO look for the Misrepresentation of
funds by those whose dutyit is to guard
them.

Does any one know how many new farms
were opened in the states and their terrific

been built how many acres OF virgin soil
plowed up for the first timer II is not prob
able that any one does know with exactness,
but there is little table in the report
OF the secretary of the interior, presented to
congress some time ago, which furnishes the
material for an approximately correct an
swer to these questions. During the year
ending with June last, there were taken up
under the homestead law 1875. 800

that more than IL 900 new farms were COM
menced last year under the homestead law
alone. But this is not all. There were sold
during the year 640,96 acres for cash, and
137, $40 acres were allotted on military land
warrants. Ii is no doubt true that a portion
of these 778, 33l acres were bought or entered
by other than actual settlers by spectators
or by persons who made invest
ments of this nature for future purposes. 1t
would be fair to estimate, however. that
one half OF the us, 331 acres were purchased
or entered for the purpose of immediate
settlement or cultivation; and this calcutta
ton would give us 2,432 more new farms
OF I60 acres each. There were also 81, 0iS
acres entered upon the Sioux and Chip
pewa half breed scrip, and COZ, 9S4 acres
taken up under the timber culture law.
Leaving these two latter items out of the
calculation, we have an aggregate OF about
10, 500 new farms commenced during the
year. This means 1850 new homes. In
five years from now these 1880 farms,
under good management, ought to produce
annually some 20, 600 900 bushels OF wheat,
some 10000. 600 bushels of corn, and some
10000 head of cattle or swine-making
provision more than enough to furnish
meat and bread for New York city for a
whole year.
