American Fa, mers, Future.

The nation is looking with wono eripg
gaze at the growth of railroad, mining
and manufacturers as the types of prodig
ious advance in material Development.
The farmer has learned to feel that be has
a direct interest in all this, because 1T
gives him home markets that render it
unnecessary for him to depend upon the
foreign demand. But the farmer has not
yet learned because the agricultural in
terest is not organized on the same scale
as the industriaD that in all this open
ing of higher and better civilization, he
has new aims to look to, new interests to
develop, new importance to understand
ana care for. He has not understood,
because it is difficult for the scattered
and insulated cultivators TO learn these
things, that with the increased variety of
manufactures there come openings for
new crops that he can raise.
The capitalists can employ chemists and
scientists to prepare processes and adopt
rare materials TO the arts, but the farmer
has no chemists at his command, and no
scientists TO advise him of the methods of
utilizing what he wastes for the lack of
knowledge. The Agricultural Depart
ment tells him at times of new crops he
can raise for which there is demand in
the home markets, and it distributes seeds
far and wide, some of which are always
tolerably sure to fall on congenial soil.
What is needed is, that our American
farmers should exhibit the same intelti-
gent spirit of enterprise displayed by the
inventor and manufacturers; that they
should appreciate the new spirit OF Ameri-
can civilization, aud rush forward to
make agriculture not the mere follower
and servant of manufacturers. but the
great leading and advancing interest.

Effects of Perfume an Health.

We learn that an Italian professor has
recently made some very agreeable medi-
cinal researches resulting il the discov
cry that vegetable perfumes exercise a
positively healthy influence on the at
mosphere, converting its oxygen into
ozone, and thus increasing its oxidizing
influence. The essences found to develop
the largest quantity of ozone are those of
cherry, laurel, clover, lavender, mint,
juniper, lemon, fennel and bergamot:
that give it in smaller quantity are anise,
nutmeg and thyme. The flowers of the
naIcissus, cyancinth, migonette, hello
trope and lily of the valley develop czone
in closed vessels. Flowers destitute of
perfume do not develop it, and those
which have but slight perfume develop it
in small quantities. Reasoning from
these facts the professor recommends the
cultivation of flowers in marshy dis
tricts, and in all places infested with ami
NAL emanations, on account of the pow
erful oxidizing influence of ozone.

IT is generally supposed that 'perique"
tobacco is peculiar plant and can only
be grown in st. James Parish, Louisiana.
This is mistake. 1t is merely subjected
to a peculiar treatment. While the plant
is growing, the smaller leaves near the
top are stripped off, AM the lower leaves
attain prodigious size in consequence.
These are then taken and pressed for
some weeks, without being allowed to
dry thoroughly. Perique is largely used
in the manufacture of cigarettes. ..

GOLD.

The Recent Find IN the Upper Peninsula.
milwaukee Special to Chicago Tribune
Concerning the gold discoveries on the upper
Michigan peninsula, the Escanaba Iron Port of
yesterday has the following: ,...
There is no question of doubt now but that
certain portions of the Emmett mine ore con-
tain large amounts of pure gold, which in some
of the best specimens show quite distinctly
upon the surface. We must confess that we
were somewhat astonished when we first heard
of it, but after investigating the story, examin-
ing the ore and seeing the unmistakable pre-
cious metal present itself on the surface, we had
to be convinced. The latest assay, Judge In
gals informs us, yielded at the rate of 81, 400
to the ton. This must undoubtedly have been
from selected ore, although some of the pieces
that We have examined would 60 much higher.
The question of separation, the judge thinks, is
a comparatively easy one, as he is satifed that it
can be treated readily with quicksilver. It
may have to be roasted to eliminate the sulphur
which is incorporated in small quantities with
it. The process of pulverizing and amalgamat-
ing subsequently it will be quite simple. A
prominent assayist of Chicago assured him that
with all the surroundings favorable, he thought
that the extraction of the gold and silver could
be made at a cost not exceeding two dollars a
ton, The judge is anxious to try the separa-
ton on large scale, and would send ton or
so to some stamp mill providing there was one
anywhere near. In case he should not be able
to do SO, he may for trial purposes build an old.
fashioned Mexican arastra, which in the case of
free gold. to be collected with quicksilver, is
just as effective as anything else. Of course
many stories are ahoat in regard to this strange
discovery, and the further they travel the
larger they become, until specks and fine scales
of gold have become sizeable nuggets, and some
OF the nuggets are increasing in size. There
can now be no doubt but gold mine ex-
lists on the upper Peninsula of Michigan, thirty
four miles west from this port.
We have obtained the exact analysis, as pro-
cured by Mr.. Thomas Breen, who has just re-
turned from Chicago.
