Fancy Farming.

Some men appear to Talk and think as
if this was mere fanciful or ethereal
world. And we propose that style OF
agriculture be established to suit these
fancy men. They appear to be totally
ignorant of the real toll and labor re-
quired to conduct agriculture success
fully with the limited light the farmers
have at present. Bob Ingersoll thinks
that if farmer rises before sunrise he
ought to have the ague, and that eight
hours per day Is all any farmer ought
to work. But Prof. Swing transcends
Ingersol in his instructions to farmers.
Swing says: ssGod has made the world
with an abundance for all, and were all
men to work equally four hours day,
the rest of the twenty -four could be de-
voted to literary and social improve
ment, barring that required for eating
and sleeping" As the world has
toiled for so many thousands OF years
without knowing how to conduct farm
ing on the Ingersoll- Swing plan, ii
certainly would be blessing to have a
model school established to teach the
secret. With such Professors as Swing.
Ingersoll, Beecher, Everett, etc., the
real hifalutin, fantastic stvle could be
established, and then we could make
butter and cheese which would cost a
dollar per pound. and beef at fifty cents
per pound. Then we would have our
aorses' tails tied up daintily with red
ribbons. our wagons creased with the
oil of bergamot, and our plows per-
TUNED every day with the altar of roses.
When the graduates from such q col
lege begin to spread their hallowed in
f1uence about the country, we will
doubtless have BRASS bands to play to
soothe the female bovine, while Inger-
soils fashionable milk maids draw the
tactical fluid. And anvil choruses will
be provided to drown the squeal of the
swine while feeding them with bever-
age strained through napkin, and
favored with Synga a5 co,oen, which is
very grateful to the taste and nourish-
ing to the physical system of the hog.
That will be grand times. How unfit
tunate are the old men of this dav, who
have been taught they should eat bread
by the sweat of the brow In the near
future farmers shall live in towns, be
fashionable, and rise from their vir.
tuous touches after the dew IS dried
from the grass-spend four hours of
toll with kid gloves, loll on sofa, read
novels, and sing anthems of praise to
Swing, lngersoll, Beecher & Co. Old
men, get your lives insured, so that
you can live to see the farmers millen-
mum State Register.

THERE is a debating society

THERE is a debating society in this
city. says the Galveston Ne,cs, wherein
young men with lofty ideas and vault
ing ambition are disposed to grapple
with all sorts of intricate and perplcS.
ing questions. At recent debate of
this society the incest kind Of judgment
was necessary TO decide exactly right
the merits Of the arguments adduced;
but the President advanced like a man
to the discharge of his duty and decided
the question; and just about that time
one of the dcbaters advanced to the
President, when q pngilistic encounter
ensued. The President was grit to the
backbone, and while he was punching
the discounted debater, the latter got 4
sort of q winding twist on the middle
finger Of the right hand with his incis-
sors, and in about two minutes the end
OF that finger dropped of and was spit
out BY the bottom man, who did the
biting. The President Of the society
has his hand in : sling. but be is Presf
dent for all that.

THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC JOURNAL
cautions its readers against being swindied in
the purchase of the cheap organs and pianos
which, it says, are now being almost forced
into the houses of the people, at prices which
seem very low, but which are really very high,
considering the worthlessness OF the fnstru.

such instruments make are practically worth.

enforcing them are so great that most people,
when they find out about it, will rather bear
their loss than try to get reparation- Makers
know this and warrant organs which they know
must very soon be utterly worthless The safest
way is to buy the best Anyone buying a
Mason & Hamlin Organ, for instance, runs no
risk; and he is wise who insists on having one
of these organs, and will not be persuaded to
take any other. Ii should be remembered that
dealers sometimes try very hard to sell inferior
organs, because they can make more on them
