ENGLISH FARMERS COMING TO AMERICA
In view of the depressed state of agricul-
ture in England, there is much significance
in the announcement that an agent of the
Canadian Government will shortly leave
Manchester with a party Of Lancashire
farmers who intend to settle in Manitoba.
The movement indicates strongly that the
British farmer is coming to the conclusion
that he can no longer compete successfully
with the cheap produce, meat and live
stock which are so largely exported to his
markets from this country and Canada.
With less rent and security for improve
ment he might maintain his own, hut these
are matters of slow adjustment 1t would
be better for the pioneers in this migratory
movement to settle in this country, hut
Ike many other immigrants they are likely
t. cross the border when they have acquired
sufficient experience to compare the rela-
tive merits of Canadian and American
settlements.

Revival OF TRADE.-In his speech at the
Lord Mayors dinner, now almost year
ago, Earl Beaconsfield predicted that, with
the revival of trade in the United States,
trade in Great Britain would become more
active. His representation has proved to
b- correct. The London Ecmomia of June
reports large increase OF export, for May,
as compared with the exports in May. 1878.
Prominent among the exports OF manu-
factured articles were engineering work
and machinery, and also pig.iron. The
British trade returns for the same mouth
by comparative tables that healthy reac.
ton has set in, and that all branches OF
business are slowly but steadily recovering
from the long depression.

Corn IN THE SoUTH.-The corn crop has
been cut short by drought in many parts of
the South this season, and it is thought
that so per cent. more of corn from the
North will be needed than was sent there
last year. One result of this failure will
probably be the planting of more cotton
next season, as it stands long dry spell
better than any other crop.

FOREIGN CRoPs.-Times go by turns. This
year the grasshoppers are carrying devasta.
ton into the wheat fields of Southern
Russia. The crops throughout Europe
promise to be less than the average. These
things are unfortunate for the bread eaters
of the world, for they will keep up prices /;
but they are good for the bread producers.
The farmers of the United States will not
spend much time in bemoaning the painful
circumstances that aid in filling their
rockets.

How TO KILL SAssAFRAs BUsHEs.-Wm.
Gould, ESQ.,. successful farmer, near Gen.
treville, Md, says he had troublesome
patch of sassafras bushes which he could
not break up He read in paper that if
the bushes were cut down or dug up on the
day before the moon fulls in August, or the
day after she fulls, but not the day she fulls,
they would die. He tried it, and the next
wear there was not one bush where there
had been thousands, and the second year
he applied the remedy to the few that
came up, and they were effectually killed.
The thing is worth trying.

Rev Henry Ward Beecher, in his
Thanksgiving discourse, was quite
severe upon the disposition of some
of the States to repudiate their debts
Concerning the doctrine of estate
rights" to which the South clings
so tenaciously, he said:
"Ihe heresy of State rights is not
yet dead. 1t can hardly be said to
sleep. In words it can be silent,
but it lives in the air, and it is
breathed in it. 1t is the very oxygen
of the political life of the Southern
people, aud this is reason unan
swerable why the Administration of
the nation should not pass into the
hands Of the men who inevitably will
use it to counterfeit the principles
for which we went to war, and for
which the war gave us right to de-
clare the will of the people Of the
Quilted States, and until genera
ton comes which knew not Calhoun
and has forgotten Davis the control
of the nation should rest with those
who rescued it from slavery. All
this | say in goadly faith aud feeling
toward the South. We claim moth
ing Of their territory. Local govern
meut is assured them and shall be.
They have their own Legislatures
and they shall have them. They
have their own local rights unob-
strnoted, bat until they believe in
nationality as others do they must
be contented to reap fruit of State
rights within the boundaries Of their
own States.

Men do not see alike, whether
they look at the moon or at sea
serpent. There are men who will
decinre that the moon as seen night
before last was as big as cart
wheel, aud others who are confident
that it was 30 larger than the crown
ot an ordinary hat. So some of the
men who saw the sea monster off
Sandy Hook declare the serpent was
500 feet long, and others that it was
not 100 feet long. Some say ''it was
very like a whale" and others that
it was not at all like a whale. To
be an eye witness in these excitable
days is to know less of the affair
claiming attention than the man who
does nos see it at all. The temptation
OF the average eyewitness to en-
large upon facts is so great as to
unfit bin for duty as chronicler OF
