The Profits of Farming.

The Indianapolis Journal says:-" It is now estimated that the wheat crop of Indiana for this year will be from 4O,- 100000 to 5O,OOO,OOO bushels, and will bring into the State and add to it's in- vested wealth from $35, ,OOO, GOO to $4O,- 100000. No such sum has ever been added to the wealth of State with as little risk or as great profit upon the capital and labor invested. It is not an unusual or exceptional thing for the product to be equal to one-half the value of the soil that produced it. Thou sands of acres of land in the State have, in two years, produced wheat equal in value to the land producing it. The product of corn has been very little behind that of wheat in point of profit. This, of course, is not common or even an average result, taking one year with another. The past three have been favored years with the farmers, and the farmer who has not done we'll during this period may reasonably conclude that there is something wrong in his case demanding investigation. We make no reference here to indebtedness and embarrassment from that cause, under which thousands of farmers are laboring in common with all other classes. Such indebtedness in nine cases out of ten is the result of some other cause than fol- lowing their agricultural pursuit. Con- sidering, therefore, the profit of the business as it is pursued by the average Western farmer, what may it be made when, by diligent research and e1peri once, it is brought to that degree of perfection which has been attained in England and in some of the New Eng land States?

Tie Young Prince.

There is an ugly suggestion in the story told by Dutch witness who met the Prince Imperial and his party as they rode out on that fatal reconnois- sance. lie states that the party were accompanied by Zulu of whom no trace was found when the English sent out to recover the Princes remains. It ap- pears, too, from this mans story that the Princes saddle turned when he vaulted into it, as if the girth had been either loosened or cut, and that the Zu- Jus must have been upon him before his comrades took to their heels, leaving him, as the evidence of his revolver cartridges shows, to fight desperately and alone for his life with his savage assailants. If the Prince used his revolver it is clear that Lieutenant Carey and the rest of the fugitives must have known that he was thus fighting, and in that case the reported verdict of the court-martial dis missing Carey from the British army is not to be wondered at,

The Story of a Prison Revolt.

More than fifty years ago revolt at the Charlestown (Mass. prison assumed such proportions that squad of ma- rines from the Navy Yard had to be called in to quellit. Major Wainwright, the commanding officer, marched his men into the dining-room, in one end of which the convicts had gathered with knives, files and other weapons such as they could reach. They swore they would die rather than surrender. The Major ordered his men to load, holding up the bullets to view 1; then 10 take aim. Then taking out his watch, he gave the convicts three min utes in which to retire to their quarters. For the first minute were there jeers and execrations the next minute an oppres- slve silence fell on the angry group, and the last minute they began to slide out at the rear door, ending in panic-stricken rush. This was the way the frmness of Major Wainwright, backed up by mus kets, prevailed.

Too Much Oil.

A correspondent of the Pittsburg Post writing from Bradford, Pa., says that so much oil is produced in that neighbor. hood that it cannot be stored to await it's sale, and therefore some 10000 bar rels are daily running to waste. Since the destruction of the refining works al Philadelphia the refining capacity has been entirely inadequate to the supply of crude oil, and consequently the crude article has depreciated in price. Neal Bradford the wasted oil has so saturated the ground near the wells that great danger is apprehended from general confagration. To prevent such danger, as far as possible, the oil is damned in the hollows and ravines through which it flows and get on fire. Bonfires made in this way may be commonly noticed which at times give the entire regions { grand appearance. AS tho overproduc tion is generally depressing to the trade in the oil regions tho people there "no in oil" express the hope that this lacl of prosperity may induce many of tho country people to resume their legiti mate occupation of making butter arc gathering eggs.

A French Opinion.

The Paris Constdtut5o'sael says:-"We do not wish to depreciate the military value of the British army. The English soldier is excellent, brave, solid, and dies at his post without starting. Mar shal Soult used to say, sThe English infantry is the best in Europe. Luckily there is not much of it. Only, if the English soldier when in line is marvel lous, he becomes mediocre when he is isolated. The bravery of the English man is ot peculiar kind-phlegmatic and passive. When the soldier has had good meal of roast beef and rum, when he has plenty of cartridges and need not budge, he is incomparable. You may dash whole columns of infantry and squadrons of cavalry upon him; you may cut him down, but you will not drive him back. Witness Waterloo and Inkermann. Now remove the English soldier from his camp, isolate him, make him take the initiative, and he i, super latively weak. Of all the wars which England could possibly have undertaken, this execrable affair with the Zulus is the one least favorable to their natures and habits. This war of surprises, of isolated marches in unknown countries, where Zulu may be lurking in ambush behind every patch of stubble, is mur- dereus school for them. The English do not know how to guard themselves, and do not reconnoitre. Hence sur- prises and disasters like that of Isandula. The result of these checks is to inspire the whole army, from the Commander 1n-Chlef down to the smallest drummer boy, with an unconscious dread, which shows itself in panics like that of Lieu tenant Carey, who galloped several miles without being pursued by the Zulus, and who left his comrades to be massa- cred without firing a shot in their de- fense. This war Continues the Co,ssts- tutionneD will be fatal to the English if they do not end it. They are ill-com- manded, they have alre1iy lost numbers of men and they will lose many more. Treasure, prestige, soldiers, all will founder in the campaign, undertaken by over civilized men against savage hordes. To beat the Zulus troops are wanted like our Zephyrs and our Zou- ayes, who meet ruse with ruse and reply to ambuscades by setting traps. But the English soldier is incapable of such warfare. He cannot fight fasting and is not fond of sleeping in the open air. He is soldier of Europe"
 The Corastitution,ae, concludes this characteristic article with the express sion of the opinion that the only thing for Parliament to do is to come to terms with Cetewayo, "who is absolutely victorious and can brave the English army in his impenetrable savannahs. Absinthe and tafia will tame these black brutes better than anything else."

The Gambling Mania.

The New York Times says s:-The number of people who expect to get rich by investing 8 few dollars in lot tery tickets, or in the Wall street gamt- ling dens, seems to increase daily. The overwhelming probability against any given tickets drawing a prize in a lot tery ought to deter even the most san- guine from taking that form of risk, but experience proves that probabilities do not enter into the calculations of the buyer of lottery tickets were the chances ten times as unfavorable, the number of buyers would be nearly as great. The blind, unreasoning hope of stroke of luck is an amply sufficient in- ducement. Over and above this con. sideration, there is the fact that most lotteries are rank swindles. Only very silly people are taken in by the ostenta. tlous announcement that this or that lottery is "under the auspices" of a State Government, or is managed by certain "eminent and well-known gen. tlemen," whose names are constantly paraded in advertisements. The facts are that in some States lotteries are li- censed by the State government, but the State in nowise guarantees their honesty or fair dealing as to the "emi- nent gentlemen" they commonly have nothing to do with the lottery save to loan 1t their names, which is purely financial transaction. One Of these swim ding concerns has just been exposed by suit at law in Louisville, and 1t was clearly shown that the company was or ganizcd and carried on as scheme of wholesale robbery. The risks in Wall street speculation are greater yet. Let ters frequently come to this office from distant points, asking if certain Wall street firms who solicit the favors of small country investors are trustworthy. These firms scatter their enticngly- worded circulars over the whole country through the mails, and there IS reason to believe that they reap a considerable harvest. The honesty of these persons need not be called ill question. It is sufficient to say to all inquirers that even the shrewdest of the " outside :" Wall street speculators, living here in the city and constantly watching with 8 keen and intelligent eye the fluctuations of stocks, generally retire from their venture seriously out of pocket. What has the rural investor to hope for when he intruste his money to persons he knows nothing about, to be put into a "pool where the chances are twenty to one that it will be lost?

No Quake There.

The recent earthquake at Virginia City was not noticed at all in the mining depths, but only by people on the sur face. Their famous earthquake of some years ago, which shook down chimneys. firewalls, cracked brick buildings, and did other damage, was merely noticed by the miners working in the upper levels, but it did no damage, not even shaking down loose stones and earth. The station men in the various shafts felt it the strongest, and the deepest point where it was noticed was by the station-tender at 900-foot level of the Imperial Empire shaft-900 feet below the surface. He said it felt like sud- den faint throb or pulsation of the air, as though a blast had been let off some where at distance above, or below or in some indefinite direction. In some of the mines the shock was not noticed at all, even by the station men. Com menting on this particular fact at the time, the Gold Hill Neaos remarked that the earthquake seemed to be an electrical disturbance, proceeding from the atmosphere and not from the depths of the earth. .-Sacranlento paper.

 The President of Connecticut cut lery company has invaded Shelf cid, the home of the edge-tool trade in England, and has engaged one hundred of it's best workmen to come with their families to his factory in Connecticut. They are on the way, and in Septem Der they will be followed by large number of skilled edge-tool makers from Germany. Other Connecticut workers of iron and steel have recently builtup Aourishing trade in Australia and some other colonies of Great Britain. These signs of the de- velopment of American trade are full of meaning to those who are studying the condition of England. No subject at the present time so holds the attention of thoughtful men in that country as the great and advancing power of Amer ica in the markets where England has in years past been foremost, and America's influence upon her home agriculture and manufactures, the fountains from which come her life-blood. The fertile plains of our great West are sending to her grain and meat in large quantities, and at prices for which they cannot be pro- duced in England without loss and it IS announced in the House of Commons that farming in England has ceased to be profitable. Even her own colonies close their doors against her goods, and in some of them the trade of American manufacturers is growing as rapidly as her own is passing away. To many of those who formerly bought her finished goods she can now send only raw ma terial. Her farmers see no profit in rais- ing crops, and her workmen see less and less money with which to buy them. Her statesmen may soon be confronted by internal troubles for which it will be hard to find remedy.
 The Bangor (Me.) Commercial re- ports the discovery of wonderful boy, ten years old, son of Col. Fuller, for merly Postmaster at Bangor. Here are a few of his remarkable feats He can, in an average of five seconds, tell the day of the week upon which any par ticular date in any year of this century fell. He never forgets date. Among other things he can tell instantly when each President was born, when inaugu- rated, how long he served, and when he died. He can tell where he himself was, and what doing, on any specified day of the last two years. He knows all about the Bible, even to the number of verses in each chapter of several of the books i; he can give the substance of any verse Tn any chapter of any book /; tell just where any event is described and where any Scripture name is mentioned. Frac- tions, and the addition, multiplication and division of them, are his pastime, and the big dictionary furnishes him with light reading for many hours of his leisure.

A MeditatiVe Stroll,

It was on retired street; there was no hum of business, and they could commune with each Eother without the detraction incident to the hurly-burly of the market place.
 What beautiful little cottage that is, ," said he, significantly.
 "Yes, IT could be contented in such a pleasant home as that" said she, also significantly.
 "Well, that is singular looking sign upon it. Germans must live in it. M-a-e-r-c eel" slowly spelling it out "Now what in the name of common sense can that mean ?"
 Mean? Why, George, how dull you are That is ice cream, spelled backwards. Isn't it a real inviting place ?''
 "Y-e-s, it is ;" and his pocket was lighter, and his heart colder when they resumed their meditative stroll.

The English Farmer.


 George M. Higginson, who has lived thirty-six years in Chicago, and ought to know all about it, wrote letter lately to the London Times concerning the future of that city and the State of Illinois, which seems to have given all England an electric shock. The Spec tutor sums up the whole matter in brief. Illinois, it says, is huge com peting farm, nearly as large as England, where the soil, new and rich, can be had for nominal price. The corn crop is already three times the English wheat crop, the wheat is third of the whole English harvest, and there are still GAO, ,O00, ,000 acres untitled. By opening canals Chicago hopes to load wheat ships at her wharves which shall sail straight to Liverpool. Illinois beef sells ID London at 33d. per pound. Illinois is but one State in the great, almost un- opened West. And this while the Eng fish tenant pays rental of 91 per acre for land worn out two centuries ago. If the rates of transportation can be re- duced, and the vast supply of American food is thrown into his markets to un. dersell him, even lower than at prese nt what is he to do? This was the ques tion which Parliament considered last week. Three ways of relief are open tc him. First-Landlords must come dowr with their rents. The Prince of Wales set the example,; half dozen great landlords followed. But the reduction must be greater than any yet made They overlook the fact that the Ameri can farmers land needs but light plough ing, and can be worked by the owners 1t is rich black mould, which has beer ripening for ages. The soil in England only yields what the yearly top-dressine will give. It is lean and greedy, calling for incessant costly manures. Secondly An import duty on food. This is no likely to be effected, simply because tho cheap food is boon to everybody 1T England except the farmers. The class who never tasted beef except on Sun. days until the American supply came is numbered by hundreds of thousands. Thirdly-Lord Derby's prescription oi emigration, which will in all probability be the final relief after all. Next Fall there will perhaps be an influx of Eng. fish farmers almost equal to the Irish crusade upon us which followed inc famine of '46.

The Irish Language.

In paper recently read before the Statistical Society, MT. Ravenstein states that the Celtic portion of the popula- tion of the British Isles makes total of nearly 2,2OO, ,O0O souls, of whom very nearly one-haf are Welsh. Further, we are told that in 1851 there were few Irish counties in which the old language had altogether died out the localities in which Irish was then spoken makes a total area of nearly 10000 square miles, with population not far under 1,5OO, 900, of whom 69. 3 per cent. spoke Irish, while in 1871 the Irish area had sunk below 5000 square miles with a population under 60O,O00, of whom about 63 per cent, or considerably less than 100000 spoke Irish only. Lastly, it appears that probably not 5000 per- sons throughout Ireland were then able to read an Irish book, and not single Irish newspaper was being published. This contrasts strongly with the state of things among the Welsh, who print over thirty newspapers and periodicals of various kinds, while the Welsh in America have several aourishing news papers and hold eistedfodds without number in the country of their adoption. We have no statistics of the Celtic element in North America, though it is well known to be considerable, but so far as concerns the Irish portion of it, there would be no great error in SUD- posing that the Irish language loses ground among the emigrants much faster than among those left behind in Ireland.-The Athen9un1.
