Large Farming PrecariOus Business

The following figures are given by
San Francisco correspondent of Phila-
delphia paper, as evidence that farming
on gigantic scale is profitable neither to
the country nor the farmer. He says:
The largest wheat producer in Califor-
MIA. or in the world, is DR.. III. j. Glenn.
He was formerly from Monroe county,
Missouri. He is man of great enter
prise and energy. His rancho lies in
Colusa county, and comprises 10000
acres, nearly all arabic land. He
has this year $4,000 acres in wheat,
which, at a low calculation, will pro-
duce 100000 bushels. His wheat will
sell for eighty-five cents per bushel, or
S765,000. DR.. Glenn has been farming
ten years, and one would suppose he
ought to have handsome sum to his
credit in bank; but what with a failure
of crOps-which occurs two years in
every tiVe-and the enormous interest he
pays on his loans, he is said to owe a
round million of dollars. Last year his
credit was bad, as he had no crop. Now,
with his splendid crop in prospect, he
will probably get out. The Dalrimples,
of St. Paul, who, ten years ago, were the
largest farmers of wheat in Minnesota,
raising as much as 10000 bushels in a
single year, went to the wall. Another
IIg6 wheat raiser Is IL. M. h6lNlSI
whose land lies on the borders of Colusa
and Butte counties. He is also from
Monroe county, Missouri, and has an
unpretending little estate of $4,000
acres, $4,000 of which are in wheat,
which he thinks will average this year
thirty bushels, or 100000 bushels. He
also is hard pressed, and l am told is
paying nine per cent. on acouple of hun
dred thousand dollars of borrowed
money. If farmers, raising half a million
to a million bushels of wheat, cannot get
out of debt, it might be well to inquire
what is the use of having so much landP
The truth is that from the frequent fail
ure of crops in California and the waste
that attends on large operations of that
kind, farming on gigantic scale in this
portion of the Pacific coast must be con-
sidered failure. North ofthis, in Oregon
and Washington Territories, there is no
failure of the harvest; farming opera
tions are carried on on a smaller scale,
and consequently the farmers, while not
rolling in wealth, are all well-to-do.

Old writer's were fond of relating in
stances of court dwarfs, when taken into
the kings council, cutting out all the
kings advisers by their shrewd ObserVa-
tions and ingenious suggestions. As an
example of their cOmbativeness, we
recollect hearing how some dwarfs in a
showman's caravan asserted their
mental superiority over the good-natured
simple giants in such n manner Il at the
poor bullied monsters actually stood in
awe of their fiery little travelling COM
panions. 4 have seen some men OF
very small stature" says an old writer.
"Ofthis number was John de EstriX, of
Mechlen, who was thirty-five years of
age, had a long beard, and was no more
than three feet high. He could not go
up stairs or climb up form, but had TO
be assisted bya servant. He was skilled
in three tongues, and proved himself
ingenious and Industrious" Almost as
interesting a manikin was Jetfery Hud-
son. who, at feast given by the Duke
of Buckingham, started up in complete
armOr from a cold pie on its being cut
open. How also, at n court masque,
Evans, the kiHg's gigantic porter pulled
out of one pocket a long loaf, and little
Jeffery, instead of a piece of cheese, out
of the other, is well known, and will re-
call somewhat similar incidents men
toned by AinswOrth in one of his his
torical novels. 1t was this pigmy's cap
ture by a Flemish pirate that was cele-
brated in poem by Sir William Dave
nant Gibson, page to Charles l., was
another curious specimen of diminutive
humanity. That must have been an
interesting wedding for the spectators,
when, at the dwarf marriage the queen
gave away Anne Shepherd, a bride, as
small as Gibson himself. The five of
their nine children who arrived at ma
turity were of the usual stature.

Whether tits better for me to refuse
To take local paper, and deprive

Or pay up promptly what the printer asks,
And, by such payment cheer himl No pay

Then no more shall be posted on the news,
And local haps throughout the town,
And divers topics-'ts consummation
That long have feared To pay, or stop?
TO stop! perchance to lose-sy, there's the
rub;
For in that stop no interest 1 take
In any of tn affairs which move the town,
And such shunling off of all that's good
Must make me pause. There's the respect
Which every editor maintains for those
Who come down with the cash and ne'er

To settle up " that little BILL" For who would
bear
The pointed squibs and pungent paragraphs
Which far too oft reflect upon the man
Who fails to settle his subscription bill?
I'll haste me now unto the editor,
And, with my purse plethoric in my hand,
Will settle up in full, one year from date,
By paying to him from my ready cash
The sum which is his due in advance.

A Good Lawn.

No greater fallacy exists than the idea
that spading is better than plowing of
anIequal depth. No tilth can be better
than that given by the plow, followed
by frequent and continual applications
of the harrow. Leveling with the spade
can then be executed in the most perfect
manner, and the finishing touch can be
given by light cross-plowing and har-
rowing. Seed should be always literally
applied; and, instead of the various lawn
grass mixtures, we believe in the use of
simple red-top seed, together with very
little white clover; and when it is thus
applied (during the quiet hours of the
day that it may fall evenly, two or three
years should suffice to grow a thick,
velvety turf. Weeds are the great ene-
mics of good turf, and every lawn should
be kept as free from these pests as a flow
er-garden. The employment of good arti-
fetal fertilizers greatly helps to secure
permanent freedom from weeds, since
foul seeds cannot lurk in them.-Scrtb-

Two Fishers.

One morning, when spring was in her teens
a morn TO poets wishing,
All tinted in delicate pinks and green's
Miss Bessie and went fishing.
] in my rough and easy clothes,
With my face at the sun tan's mercy;
She with her hat tipped down to her nose,
And her nose tipped-Uice UersG.
with my rod, my reel and my hooks,
And hammer for lunching recessesj
She with the bait of her comely looks,
And the seine OF her golden tresses.
So We sat us down on the sunny dixie,
Where the white pond-lilies teeter,
And went to fishing like quaint old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter
All the noon lay in the light OF her oyes,
And dreamily watched and waited
But the fish were cunning, and would not rise,
And the batter alone was baited.
And when the time for departure came,
My bag hung Fat a founder;
But Bessie had neatly hooked her game
A hundred-and-n -nfty-pounder.

In an editorial comment on advertising
schemes, the Reading PENN Times says
"There are men who would rather spend
$40 or $50 in the rail-card and board nui-
sances, which may be seen by few hun
dred people, than to expend the same sum
in their home papers, where tens of thou
sands would see their cards every day. This
is an age of newspaper reading, and the
sooner business men come to realize this
fact in all its Importance, the better it will
be for business generally, and the better it
will be for themselves"

Troubles of various kinds a reported,
from British India. Incendiary fires, kin
died by native malcontents, continue in the
Poonah district. Rain is needed in many
sections, so that the indigo crop will be al
most a failure in any event, and other
crops will fall short unless the drought is
soon broken. Cholera has appeared i'll
many cities of the Punjab. Distress and
famine, in connection with incompetency,
corruption and lack of organization on the
part of officials, are producing a most seri-
Gus state of affairs. Dacoity," or robbery
by armed gangs, is assuming alarming pro-
portions, especially in the Poonah district.
Bands of dacoits" are securing the coun-
try, committing most daring deeds OF vio-
lence. They seem to be parts OF regular
organization, under the command of one
Wassadeo Bulwund. They are suspected
of having destroyed many public buildings; I;
and in a remarkable manifesto to the Bonn
bay government they threaten to raise
another mutiny and put price upon the
head of the governor unless their distress is
removed, native trade encouraged, taxes re-
duced and employmentsu supplied By govern
ment. Energetic measures are low taken
to suppress this mutiny.

In the celebrated Billingsgate Fish
Market, in London, the electric light
proved complete failure, for the unex-
pected reason that it was too good. Business
at Billingsgate begins at three o'clock in
the morning, most of the bargains being
struck by gaslight. When the searching
electric candle was turned on, its brilliant
whiteness literally showed the fish in such
a new light that the trade was demoralized
outright. Soles that would have fetched
shilling a pair by gaslight looked dear at
sixpence, while turbot fresh from the sea
looked a week old. The result was
general outcry. The copious and ornate
dialect of the locality was enriched by a
number of notable additions during the few
days of the new light; and for fear of a re-
volt among the bummarees," as the fish
salesmen are called, the corporation was
obliged to restore the familiar yellow gas
lights.

The song of the nightingale has always
been associated with some sort of unearthIy,
beautiful music; with long, languid nights
in Eastern lands; with dreaming grove,
and cool shadows, and still waters, and full
moons and musk-laden air, and grooming
insects, and leonine, dark-eyed houris, and
love. This is somewhat the way in which
We have thought of the nightingale's song.
This is the way those fanciful individuals,
the poets, have taught us to think of it.
This is the way in which we should be glad
to continue thinking of it, and the way that
we should continue thinking of it, perhaps,
had not Mr.. Bechstein and Nj. Davy, who
have made the nightingale study, in
formed us that what the bird, in reality,
does say when it sings, is Tiou, tiou, tiOu,
tiou, spe, tiou, squa-tio (six repetitions),
tex-contio, contio, contio-tzu, tzu, tzy," or
"Wheet, wheel, wheel, cur-r-r- sweet,
