Sensational Farming.

The Rural NeW Yorker thinks that
some inj lry Is done 10 plain, simple
minded folk by the reported state
ment5 OF enormous agricultural enter
prises in California, Minnesota, and
Dakotah, with vast profits growing
out OF the fabulous operations. Oae
Californian farms. or rather skins
forty-fve Thousand acres yearly by
sowing wheat. His harvest is said TO
have produced nine hundred thou
sand bushels OF wheat, netting him
seven hundred and sixty five tnou-
sand dollars in one year. One would
suppose this man would have realized
moderate competence at least out
OF his one years operation: but we
now learn that after ten years excit-
ing business he owes about a million
dollars and Is practically a bankrupt;
land poor" with n white elephant,
which he can neither keep nor let go.
SO in the Northwest we have mad re-
ports Of grea: tracts OF land sown to
wheat, and large sums OF money re-
allied. But we are slow to think of
the expenses and waste Of this sort
OF agriculture. OF the large capital
required to produce a crop: OF the
enormous interest on loans required
to carry on the business and meet
current expenses, or OF the inevitable
final result OF ruined land, barren
fields. wasted opportunities and gen.
eral wreck which alone Is left behind
of the baseless fabric of a grand
vision. 1t Is great gambling trans
action; the weather, season and the
markets being the largest which are
risked, and possible success. barren
at the best; cheap notOriety, or final
ruin are the alternatives. 1t is well
that the facts should be known, and
that these glittering stories should be
understood. as mere speculative VEN
lures ia which there Is but one end
ing, and that grand crash. noun
tain OF debt topping over and crush
ing the whole fabric; specu ators,
farms, crops. armies of laborers,
troops OF horses, parks OF machinery.
all OF this involved In one general
ruin. This has been, will be. and
must be. the end OF this illegitimate
use OF the bountiful soil which is
made to pour out its life In few
short years or wasteful, riotous agri
culture.

golden rule for all travellers. That is
We must see things for ourselves, and
find out all about our journey. We
must not depend upon the opinions
OF others as 10 hours and trains.
remember two boys some years
ago In Philadelphia, who grew tired
OF going to school and minding their
own parents. SO they made up their
minds 10 run away.
They packed up their clothes. each
enc foT himself, in a red silk hand
kerchiec, and put their bundles over
their shoulders on a stick, In true
pilgrim style, and sailed forth from
the back gate OF their fathers house
very early In the morning OF July 4th.
They chose this day because they
thought it was a good day on which
to assert their independence. They
thought they would be like the
American Colonies and would strike
for freedom. So they went on to the
West Philadelphia Depot to take the
train for Washington. 1t was In the
war times, and they thought they
would 90 and see President Lincoln.
They wanted him to give them CON-
missions in the army as drummer
boys. They felt sure he would do
this. for they ad always heard that
he was very kind. They thought he
would invite them to dinner, at the
White House, and would very likely
take them out for drive In his own
carriage.
So when they arrived at the rail.
way depot, they saw a train headed
south for Baltimore, and they got on
the rear platform. They had no
tickets. and as they wanted to save
their little money they had, they
thought they would steal ride To
Washington. But the conductor
found them. about an hour after the
train had started, hanging onto the
steps Oh the rear platform. He land
Ell them at the rext place he came
to. and, 10 and behold! it was Trenton,
n. j. They were on the train to New
York instead Of the train to Washing
ton. They Were going north instead
Of south; they had entered the wrong
train by the wrong gate; and were
sta ted all wrong.
So those boys who wanted TO be so
independent upon tue Fourth OF July.
and strike out for themselves, like
the American Colonies, had the
pleasure VI spending their money In
going home by steamboat on the
Delaware RIVER back again to Phila-
delphia. And that very night, at
eight o'clock, just fourteen hours
after they had passed out OF their
fathers back gate, they passed in
again and went to bed. And their
father, who was a very kind and wise
man, let them have abundant time,
for the next three days. each one in
his own room, to mediate upon the
great lesson Of getting started right
whenever we go on journey
And to this day those boys, who
are now gr0wn-up men, Are very
careful when they want to 60 to
Washington TO be sure and not take
tile train for New York.
For 1t is not enough to want to get
started rights we must first find out
for ourselves that we are right before
we go on our way.
You know the old motto says, "Be
sure you're right, then 60 ahead

Attempted Ravoautiou.

NEw YORK, Jan. IA supplement of
the Panama Star and Herald, of Dec.
28th, gives the story of an attempt at rev.
oiution on the night of the 9th. An at
tack was made on General Aizpuon. ex-
president OF the state and some friends,
and that gentleman and others were woun-
ded; subsequently, Zugundo Pena, the
newly appointed governor of the district,
while passing through the streets, in charge
of some policemen, endeavoring to restore
order, was fred upon by parties concealed
and instantly killed. An attack was made
upon the cuartel outside and two men lost
their lives. The object of the revolution
was to place in power the state govern
ment, said to be more in accord with the
political views of Gen. TrupiIlo, president
of the republic The scheme was exposed
bv one of its supposed friends, and in the
attack, friend aud foe suffered alike.
