WEDNESDAY, was the centennial of Mad"
Anthony Wayne's capture of stony Point, on
the Hudson. By the fortune of war this for

three times, but circumstances had made it
so important that the Americans were deter

British, who then held it, and Gen. Wayne
was selected to lead the attacking force. lie
marched Il force To the neighborhood under
cover of the night, and arrangements were
made to storm the place at midnight and
carry it by a bayonet charge on three differ

which to make the charge, and the garrison
was surprised and made little resistance,
though on one side they opened brisk fire
and about one hundred of the assailants were
killed or wounded. Not a gun was fired by
the Americans, and one man who was seen
loading his musket was killed by an officer
with his sword The affair lasted but few
minutes Wayne, wounded in the head,
cried: Garry me into the fort and let me
die at the head of my column The pris-

IT seems to be well settled that ex-senator
Alexander Ramsey of Minnesota will succeed
MIR. McCrary as Secretary of War. Mr..
Ramsey was born near Harrisburg, Pa, Sep
tember 8. 1915, and was a graduate of La
fayette College, Easton Pa. He first appear
ed in public life as Secretary of the Electoral
College of Pennsylvania in 1910. He became
clerk of the State House of Representatives
the following year. The next step in his Ca
reer was his election to the twenty eight Con-
gress as Wing, and he was reelected to the
twenty ninth Congress, his two terms of ser
vice expiring March 3, 1S41. In 1S49 he re-
ceived the appointment of Governor of the
Territory of Minnesota, and held that office
until 1858. In 1855 he was elected mayor
of St. Paul, Minnesota, and from 1859 to
1868 filled the Gubernatorial chair of the
new State. In December, 1868. he entered
the United States Senate, as Senator from
the same State, and served in the Senate I'M

MAIL AND TELEGRAPH are still buriened
with the long drawn story of trade and bust
ness depression in England. In the cotton and
woollen trades the stagnaiion is terrible In
one district, Burnley, according To II cable
dispatch, 5,795 looms are idle out of 33, 900.
and 3O7, $40 spindles out of 900, 900. In the
Blackburn district II 300, looms are idle out
of So, 900, 81. 600 spindles are working on
short time and $1,000 are stopped. In the
Chorley district | 800 looms. owned by two
firms, are working short time. Nearly
twenty other firms are running part OF their
machinery on short time, and several have
stopped In Bury district, both the woollen
and cotton trades are depressed. The aver
age time of working in the woollen manu-
factories is only four DAYS out of the
week, and 4O6, 600 spindles and 3,720
looms are working short time. In
Stockport the prospect, especially in the
weaving department, is said TO be almost hope
less. 1t is computed that now only 900, 900
spindles and 300 looms are working, against
], l95, 900 spindles ami ',WO looms ilve years
ago In Rochdale five mills are working
full time and five houses there are tenantless
In the Rosendale district where the ma-
chinery of the factories is adapted for Indian
cotton, is even worse Out of 100 mills,
only six, and these comparatively insigniti-
cant, are working full time. thirty-tive are
stopped and the remainder are only running
on an average of three and II quarter days of
the week. such statistics as these are
appalling in their significance, for they speak
of widespread misery, poverty and despair
The working classes, always ill-requited,
are wholly unprepared TO live through such
a period of commercial depression, and the
suffering that must ensue is terrible to think

inevitable interviewer, promptly denies the
absurd romance that he had in 1877 arranged
plan with Grant and R0heson to arrest Til
den in case he took the oath in New York,
secretly bear him away to gunboat and
transport him for trial. He denies having
received any advice, instructions or sugges-
tiOns from President Grant, Senator Conk-
ling or any member of the Cabinet as to what
should be done in New York in case Tilden
refused TO abide by the decision of the cleo
toral tribunal. He says he never communi-
Gated with Secretary Robeson about placing

ed whether he ever had any private interview
with Mines, Gen. Woodford replied he had
stated all he considered necessary to state
and he declined to say if he had any private
reasons for anticipating disturbance in New
York, March 4, 1877. The story was so
ridiculous and fell so dead on the public that
Gen. Woodford's denial was hardly neces-
sary but this now gives ii coup de grace.

THE FARMER > NEED,

The cultured man. says the PruUic
Farmer, ''is the reading man, and the
reason why the farmers as class are not
cultured men, is because they do not
read" The farmer who depends upon
farming for the support Of himself and
family is obliged To work very hard. We
ask the question, lis there any class OF
people that work as hard as farmers do,
that read more ?" The benefits which
agricultural colleges may confer upon
agriculture will no doubt he recognized
more generally in the future than they
have been in the past We believe that
if the money expended on colleges which
tit our young men to practice law and
medicine were expended upon agricultu-
raj colleges, the country would ultimately
be the gamer We want, also, primary
agricultural schools, that shall tit the pu-
pill to enter the agricultural college. The
fundamental principles Of what is called
an education are the same. 1t is the adapt
alton Of these principles to special pur-
suit that calls for special study OF all
facts that bear upon it. The object of an
agricultural education should be to pro-
duce the best results with the least labor
Give our farmers sons the education,
therefore, and there will be lack neither
of inclination nor of time for all necessary
study and reading.
