The Future of American Farming

The Rurdt Neao Yorker thinks it prob
able that in the near future the ap-
proach of storms of rain or wind will
be announced by our Signal Service
everywhere throughout the country. A
forewarning of this kind would serve,
even with our present conveniences, to
greatly diminish the heavy losses en-
tailed on the farming community by the
unexpected advent of stormy weather.
Approaching discoveries in science and
the useful arts will doubtless enable
farmers to turn such warning to still
greater advantages. Nor will this be
the only benefit derived from such a
convenience for Whenever it shall be
widely introduced, many slabors in the
fields, which are now YEARLY performed
during the torrid heat of our midsum-
mer days, can then be pleasantly done
in the cool summer nights. Then again,
such heavy and expensive machinery as
Ithrashers, ETC.. can he utilized all the
time in the busy season. by means of
relays of men; and thus a considerably
larger profit will be realized from the
capital invested in them Favorable
spells of weather, too, can be utilized to
the utmost and the evil consequences of
paucity Of labor will be reduced TO IA
minimum. There is no class for whom
the future holds so much social and in
tellectual advancement; SO much as
Hsured prosperity, and so much rational
happiness, as for those engaged in the
various departments of agriculture, and
in no country in the world are the
farmers SO we'll prepared as in this by
intelligence, energy, enterprise and po-
litical as well as natural conditions, to
pluck the, earliest benefits from the
treasures Of the Future YiIAI W7<

And tender mouths reveal the blush
Of rosy peach-bloom's dainty hue.
Pure as some lily's silver heart,
That yields its balm to summer airs;
Their stainless lives have bloomed apart,
From noisome weeds and earthly tares.

Their winter days he turn d to spring.

In the case of Louisa Wallace, convicted Of
the murder of her babe, on motion for a new
trial, Justice Wylie delivered his opinion yes
to-day. He said that the principal ground on
which the motion for new trial was based
was that the indictment set forth that the
child was bastard child, aud that the Gov.
crnment failed to establish that fact in the
testimony offered. lie thought at the time
that IL was slender thread to hang upon aud
was of the opinion STILL but the weight of
authorities was against him, and he should
grant new trial.
District.Attornoy Wells called attention to
the fact that on the trial the Government did
prove that the child was bastard and the
court, in instructing the jury, said il was not
essential to establish that fact.
His Honor replied that the error was his
and he must be irresponsible for II consequently
there was the better and stfonger reason for
granting the new trial,

Flying Pigeons from Masonic Temple.


The interest in the poultry exhibition at
Masonic Temple continues undated. The

greater favor than was expected, and, to judge
from the interest the Washington public
evince in its success, the association will feel

The visitors are loud in their praise of the
management. Yesterday was to have been

About four o'clock pair of the pigeons were

him some time to catch the birds. When he
secured them it was thirty.seven and half
minutes after two o'clock. Mr.. ii. A. Willard
stamped each bird before it was sent off. An
immense number of persons hocked about the
streets in the vicinity of the hall 10 witness
the flights. There will be several flights to-
day. The same six that were sent of yes
