OUR LONDON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
In a recent address Lord Derby expresses
the opinion that the present condition Of
agricultural depressions is not due to per-
manent, but to temporary causes. He
thinks that, while with regard to products
that are perishable-such for instance, as
cereals-America may beat England in
the arena Of competition, still in meat,
milk, and vegetables, and some other art
icles Of produce, England ought to be able
to hold herown. Great Britain has against
her cheapness an abundance Of land in
other quarters of the globe and she has in
her favor nearness to the markets, for even
ocean steamers will not reduce the Atlantic
to a mere ferry.
Lord Derby and his class would do well
to look more closely at tins aspect of the
problem. 1t is not to bad season or low
prices that English farmers must trace
their woes, for could mention years when
prices and seasons have been pretty nearly
as bad as they are now. The one novel
element in the present distress appears to
be that British agriculture is now for the
first time brought into close and keen COM
petition with foreign husbandry, in eircum-
stances which give the latter an absolute
advantage. The English food factory
for Lord Derby correctly describes farm
by that term-has to support two families,

FoR CoRoNER.-There are so many coed
men mentioned for Prosecutor and Repre-
sentative, that it would be hard for us to
say which it shall be, even if we had the
naming of the candidates. But we have
our heart set II making a coroner ''out'n'
brother James Reed, Sr., Of the Telegraph.
He has filed the Office and performed the
duties in a ereditsble manner for the past
year, and now that he has just learned
how to gracefully ''set down" on a dead
body, it would not be doing the handsome
thing to give the position to a new and in
experienced man. This is going to be a
red hot campaign, and with Mr.. Reed at
the dead head of the ticket we believe
we will sweep the northeastern county
with an overwhelming Republican majori-
ty.
The coroner, we trust, will never forget
his grace, when called to return-oficialIy
any friendly turn from his brethren of
the press.
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1879-08-01

one at least in decent ease and the other in
at1uence and luXury-the family of the
Oceupler and that of The owner. The Amer
lean or Colonial food factory. on the other
hand has only to support one family
that of the farmer in moderate comfort.
A concern which has to pay profits cannot
naturally run against business only burden
ed with one, and that, with cheap land, is
the plain reason why the American agrieult-
urists is running the English farmer. One
portion of Lord Derby's speech leads me to
suspect that some suspicion Of this stern
truth crossed his mind, for he asks: Can
we make things better by establishing a
class of cultivators who shall be also free
holders? In other words can We mend mat
ter by creating holdings which will have
to pay not two profits but only one? 1t Is
a hard question to answer, and Lord DERBY
can but say he would like to see the ex-
pertinent tried. This, at least, is to the
point. We want, as he says, no new law TO
initiate it, and if a company Of reformers
were to set about bying up some or the
lald which gradully becoming a drug IN
the market and If they would then let II
out in small holdings might put the thing
to the test. There Is no fear that nowadays
they might be met with discOuraging sneers
from economists Of the almost defunct NJ
Culloch school. They run no risk of being
denounced as theorists who would cover
the land with population OF lazy. drunken,
staIvelings, or with holdings which would
by innifite subdivision dwindle into mere
garden plots. We know too well how thrifty
and industrious peasant prOprietOrs are in
France aud Belgium. In the former, so
far from producing Over-pOpulatIOn, the
effect of peasant proprietOrship is rather to
check the multiplication of the people. So
far from growing no more food than will
suffice for their own consumption, peasant
prOprietors IN the Channel islands get three
times as much food per acre out of their
land as that got by the tenants Of large
farms in England. Altogether however,
in respect Of its good sense and thought
full suggestiveneSS, Lord Derby's speech is
a most valuable contribution to the present
controversy.

DR.. S. D. Howe, Of New York, the

so much celebrated for the remarkable
cures he has made with his Arabian Milk
Cure, Tonic, especially Consumption, will
visit Ashtabula by request stopping at the

each day to give advice and an examina-
tion 0O all desiring it) free of any charge
whatever. By an examination with the
RespiratOr, you will learn from the Doctor
whether your lungs are weak or strong
healthy or diseased, and then if necessary
try his Arabian Medicines, which can be
purchased of his agents A R. Thurber &

weak lungs should not fail to get the doc

The steam-yacht Jeanette, Lieutenant
George w. De Long, Q. S. N, command
ing, which sailed from San Francisco Ju-
ly Sth, for the Artic Sea, is the same YES
sci in which Captain Young made his fault
less search for the records of Sir John
Franklin, SIX years ago. She sails with
a perfect equipment. Every provision
which experience can suggest has been
made to meet the exigencies of her peril
ous voyage. She is proYisioned for three
years absence; her pilot has made many
trips to the Artic Seas, and her crew have
been carefully selected for vigor and en-
durance. The plan is, to push on as far as
possible, after the ice breaks up, through
the foes north of Point Barrow, and then
using the ship as base Of supplies, to con-
tinue the journey by sleds. The route
through Behring Strait is practically a
new one, and is believed to have the ad-
vantage Of warm current that will ena-
BILE a vessel to penetrate further north
than by any other course. The highest
point reached so far by any explorer is SO
deg. 10 min., touched by Sir George Mares.
The North Pole is 800 miles beyond. The
special peril Of the route taken by the
Jeanette will be the northward drift Of
the ice, which would cut off retreat in case
the party should be obliged to abandon
the ship.

THE CsNNON MISSED FIRE.
Yet the PrOiectIIe Went Smiles
That Were Probably Forced.

ThaE Were Probably EOreeu.
The New York Sun says: The pro-
gramme at Tony Pastors Theatre says that
Ella Zuila is an ETHEREAL Queen" and
that George Loyal is a ''Human PrOjectile. -
They have trapeze performance. Then
follows their great feat. A cannon Of
tremendous size, mounted in a nearly up
right position on a low truck, is pushed up
on the stage by six men, who, with diff
Guilty, owing 10 its great weight, get it to
proper place. Loyal climbs ladder up to
the mouth Of the cannon and slides down
into it until only his head is left visible.
Zuila, who is an active little woman, climbs
a rope up to a small trapeze at the top of
the auditorium and hangs by her feet,
head downward, with her arms extended.
Loyal and Zuila wear solemn faces, and
the spectators are wrought up to a feeling
of dread.
''Fire!" cries Loyal.
An assistant touches off the cannon,
there is an explosion, flash of fire, puff
of smoke, and Loyal is shot to the top of
the auditorium, where Zuila catches him.
Then both descend to the stage, all the
spectators applaudlng.
That IS the usual way. Yesterday after
noon there was variation, beginning at
the point where Loyal vas in the cannon
and Zuila was hanging from the high ira
peze, each with solemn visage.
"Firel" Loyal shouted.
The assistant tried to touch off the can
non, but it missed fire and there was no
detonation, no fash Of fire, no puff of
smoke. However, there was the sound Of
an unlOosed spiral spring, and Loyal was
shot out Of the cannon without any eX
penditure of gunpowder. Probably the
absence of the usual detOnatiOn put Zuila
off her guard, for she did not catch the
''Human Projeetile" when he rose like
rocket, but let him come down like stick.
There was an oulery by nervous women,
but the man struck in his net, which sagged
nearly to tie floor under his fall but saved
him from further harm than a scratched
nose. He wallowed in the netting until he
reached the edge, where he Jet himself
down with rather graceful sOmeIsault to
the stage, where he was hastily Joined by
Zuila, and both bowed themselves off with
smiles that we're suspected of being forced.
