KANGAROO Bill,
Keening on the Farm.

The census table suggests serious
thoughts to every true patriot. In the
older States the cities are growing rap
idlp, while the country population is
diminishing. The young men leave
the farms and crowd the stores of the
city. Many farms are deserted, and
houses are going to decay, while in the
cities thousands ofyoung menare vainly
seeking for employment.
One reason for the desertion of the
country is that young men grow weary
Of a monotonous life. Farm-houses
have few papers and few books; no
public libraries are within reach, and
there are nc lectures or concerts. 1t is
AZ work and 20 -play, and the young
men long for more variety in life.
A farmer of superior intelligence and
refinement, who has kept all his boys
at home, tells how he has done it.
My elderst is near 81, and the
other boys in the neighborhood
younger than he have left their parents.
Mine have stuck to me when / most
needed their services, and I attribute
this result to the fact that I have tried
to make their home pleasant.
Il have furnished them with attract
i've and useful reading, and when night
comes, and the days work is ended,
instead of running with other boys to
the railroad station and adjoining towns,
they gathered around the great lamp,
and became interested in their books
and papers"
If farm-houses are made attractive to
young people they will cling to them,
and think little of emigration. Pleasant
homes, with a little amusement to re-
lieve hard toll, will hold the sonst to Their
fathers occupation.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-04

The reasoning of the scoffers who
claim that the story of Ewes temptation
could not have been true, because
snakes don't climb trees, has received a
crushing blow in a recent occurrence
in Massachusetts. Mrs. Simeon Mer-
rift, of Ashburnham hearing an unusual
noise among the birds in the garden,
went out, and, looking into a tree, saw
a large black snake in the act of taking
a young robin from its nest. She i'm
mediately ran to Mr.. Holmes, who re-
turned with q hoe, but his snakeship
was gone. Thinking he would soon re-
turn, he awaited in ambush, when the
snake was soon aroused by the noise of
the birds. Springing to the tree,
Holmes struck him with his hoe and
killed him. He had another young
bird in his mouth, which he had killed.

IN, T,u.DoI1.r Cert,ncatc..

A Washington special says that the daily
transactions of the Treasury Department with
the $1s rsfunding certificates prove eonslu-
sively the utter failure of the good intentions
Of Congress in providing a low bond, which
would be of use to persons of small means as an
investment Of their savings. Of $4e, 900 900
issued, $35 1873 ,Ooe have already been returned
to the Treasury for conversion into 4 per cent.
bonds, and, although the amount outstanding
is now less than 81, 200, 900, the certificates
continue to be returned at the rate Of nearly
$4,000 a day. tits also evident that these Ger
tifcates are not returned by persons holding
them in small amounts, since the average
of the separate sums received is about S 5 5000.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-04

The fever is still confined principally to Mem
pills. from whence the monotonous report Of
twenty-five to thirty-fve new cases per day
come. The death rate is still ten to twelve.
That part Of the city in which the fever was
worst, is now almost entirely free from it, the
disease having spread into new districts
They are having some trouble in Texas ever
quarantine regulations. When the United
States authorities attempt to break the quaran-
tine by running the U. 8. mail through, tn,
dty authorities Of Houston arrest them.
