English Ignorance Of America.

/ remember, says writer in the
Syracuse On. V Herald, having a
young Englishman for near neighbor
some years ago. who used TO make me
sort of confidential counselor. He
was an agreeable, pretty intelligent
fellow, and too well bred TO utter all his
thoughts aloud, but away down in the
bottom of his heart | always fancied he
cherished compliment notion that he
had somehow conferred favor upon
the United States By coming to live in
them. One day he entered my office
displaying new silk umbrella. "How
much do you suppose that cost me?"
he inquired, rs he turned it around
and up and down to enable me to in
spect it thoroughly. About eight
dollars. should say" l answered,
after examining it. Eight dollars?'
he repeated; "that is-a-one pound
twelve. isn't it? Well. you came not
far from it. / paid in all just two
guineas for it." Then, my friend, |
am sorry TO say you were cheated.
How came YOU TO give so much?" at
cost one pound two at Martins in the
Arcade, and rs | knew your customs
duties here were so outrageous, i paid
purser on one of the ocean steamers
a sovereign to get it in to me-" but
why. for Heavens sake. did you send
abroad for it?'' ".Oh. | knew that in
this country l should have TO pay Mar
tins prize, and the duty, and the I'M
porter's profit, whereas, by importing
directly myself, | had only the first
cost and bonus pay" ''But would
not an American umbrella have kept
the rain off your head equally well?'
IAN American umbrella, | did not
suspect that you made them in this
country" On another occasion my
English friend sent home for set of
Dickens works, and was amazed to
learn that he could have bought the
same books here for half the price in
an edition authorized by the great nov
elist himself. Once more he met
with like startling bit of news in re-
gard to barometers, and again when he
took infinite pains to smuggle through
the custom house a London silk hat.
j lost sight of the young gentleman a
coed while ago, but | hope, if our
paths ever cross again, that l shall find
nm wiser for the lessons of observa-
ton he has learned in the interval.

Snipe Hunting i'm Nevada.

ONE of the most interesting snipe
hunts of the sason took place at Wads-
worth one night last week. The method
of sacking snipe had been explained to
II young man who had recently arrived
there, and he was eager TO 90 on hunt.
SO. fully instructed, he took up his
position on the top of big rock on a
hill overlooking the town. He carried
with him a red signal lantern and big
dinner-bell. From dark until ten
O'Clock. for more than two hours, that
Young man stood on the rock waving
his lantern sand holding the sack.
Sometimes he would ring the dinner
bell with all his might, and then he
would shout like one possessed. He
keptup an incessant din, never doubt
ing for moment that the snipe were
coming in. The boys had done their
work well, and he was fully impressed
with the necessity of patience and per-
severance TO secure good bag of birds.
While this performance was going on
the people of Wadsworth had all turned
out to watch it. There was the young
hunter high up on the hill, in the red
glare of his lantern, his wells and shouts
ringing in their ears 1t was too good.
Tke .'boys" just rolled over and over
on the fiat. delirious with joy, kicking
up their heels in an ecstasy of delight
They laughed SO much that they could
laugh no more. But still. when the red
Light would be swung and the shouts of
.'Sni-pe. sni-pe, sni-pe. O,sni-pe," would
descend from the hill, they would ex-
perience fresh commissions. and double
up like youngsters stricken with collie
after feast of green apples. Suddenly
the lantern was eXtinguished and all
was silent on 1.-THE hill. He had ..tumbled''
and was gone.-Rea0 (NeU.) Gazette.

Farming Not a Risky Business.

THE risks in farming are compare
lively few. There is no danger of ruin
arising from competition; there is none
arising from the treachery of business
associates. The farm, under ordinary
circumstances, is sure to furnish enough
TO make the family comfortable, and
extraordinary circumstances, which are
of providential character always, are
not very apt to exist. The farmer is en-
gagged in the production of articles which
the public must have. 1t makes no diff
ference what else the people do without,
they must have bread. They can wear
their old clothes, but they must have
new flour, and while depression of the
times may limit the demand, it can not
wholly destroy it. Thus is the farmer
engaged in business which is always
active. If other kinds of business are
fourishing, agriculture must be on the
very topmost round: if other kinds of
business are depressed, agriculture must
still be on round little above any
other business.
In mercantile or purely speculative
business, there is no certainty of safety
for a week and scarcely for an hour.
Financial panics may come and swallow
up values until the merchant is ruined,
and the Spectator stranded; COMPETE
ton may bankrupt one, ten or scores of
mechanics. A. T. Stewart, with his i'm
mense fortune, could at any time ruin a
house that was carrying large line of
goods, and he often did. But A. I.
Stewart with all his millions could never
have ruined farmer who owned a rich
farm, and was out of debt. Within
couple of weeks prominent member of
the Chicago Board of Trade has gone to
pieces. Every one was surprised. There
was nothing in his failure to cause sur
prise; it is a surprise that more do not
go. But if news should come that a
farmer who had for years been entirely
free from debt, and had been raising
good crops all the time, had gone into
bankruptcy, it would astonish every one,
except that they could account for it
upon the grounds of outside speculation.
Farming is a pretty sure business, and
if it can be relieved of some of the unjust
burdens that are pressing it down, the
farmer can afford to be content.-WeSt-
ern Rural.

Prof. Jas. Law cites many facts to
show that birds may be the victims of
smallpox and be the carriers of this
contagion from one place to another.
Pigeons and poultry in Europe and
Hindostan are quite subject to variola.
If it really be possible for the chickens
belonging TO a family in which there is
smallpox to pick up the disease and
carry tito some neighbor' poultry-yard,
then the neighbors of all smallpox cases
are really subject to very insidious
method of infection.-Dr. Foote'S Health

According to recent returns, rail-
way travelling in Prussia is very safe.
During 1873 only twelve passengers
were Killed, or one in 100000; and
only 46 were injured-or one in every
100000. The trains do not run fast
enough ordinarily to get off the track.
But they manage to Kill and injure a
frightfully large number of employees.
Among "oflicials and railway servants,
there was an accident to one in every
III, and among " railway laborers d" the
proportion was one in every 20.

to Secretary Evarts recently by committee OF
the Association for the Reform and Codihcatlon
of the Law of Nations was well expressed lew
weeks ago by Mr.. E. G.. Stedman IN note TO
THE TMpUNR, and It is the same which we
pointed out last year in theplan,sugRested to the
Secretary OF State by the Harper Brothers
Both agree that we ought to have an authors
not a publishers, copyrightj that Is to say, the
foreign book in order to be protected In this
country must DO published and manufactured
here by an American house and vice versa
This Is right for the author is entitled TO the
fruits of his labor, and the publisher is not en-
titled to O monopoly of the market OF ,anOther
country. But it Is furthermore stipulated. that
a book shall be copyrighted and published
abroad within q limited time after its appear
ance in the authOr'sown Countrywide Committee
say "a reasonable PERIOD" the Harpers say
three months), failing which condition the work
becomes public property. This seems to us an
unjust abridgement Of the authors rights. 1t
places him wholly at the mercy Of the foreign
publisher, who, unless the writer chance to be
very popular, can put himself In position to
make his own terms by the simple expedlent OF
protractlng the negotiations. Very few authors
become so suddenly famous that they can find
publisher to reprint their books Immediately
on the otheG side Of the ocean.
Ono country waits for the verdict OF the
other, and by the time that has been
given the partial privilege promised by. these
two international copyright schemes will prob
ably have expired. Indeed if a limitation OF
time is to be established we shall have law
practically denying the principle of litcrary,prop-
erty, perpetuating the existing scandal, and
merely enabling publishers to make profit
able bargain with authors of assured standing.
The simplest plan is the best. Let copy
right taken out in one country hold good in the
other, so far as the author is concerned and
allow him to sell the right of publication and
manufacture in England to an English house,
in America to an American house, at any time
he pleases. Whether he sell this right or not
bis book should in no case be reprinted except
by his license. If it be objected that tic British
publisher would then make it part of his con-
tract with the author that the book should not
be reprinted, so that the Americans might be
forced to import the expensive foreign edition,
the answer is, l. That the demand for cheap
books here Is universal, and demand Will
always create supply; 2. That if 1t prove
necessary to protect the American book-manu-
facturer against foreign competition we can do
so at any time by means of the tariff, exactly as
We protect the manufacturer of iron; and 3,
that we have no business under any circum-
stances TO lcgalize piracy by way Of encOurae-
ing American industry.

Mr.. G. P. Lathrop renews the international
Copyright discussion this morning In u some
what caustic review of recent article on the
subject by Mr.. Wilbie Collins. We have no
doubt that tho settlement of the question is OBJ
gtructed by the savage and abusive spirit in
which it Is treated by great manv English
writers. Dickens injured the cause he wished
to help by his violent attacks upon bookselling
spirates" during his arst visit to America and
papers like that of Mr.. Collins In The Imtsrna-
tiOnal Revec and that Of Mr.. Leonard Courtney In
GaemiILGM's Aa9Gsine are certainly ill adapted
to promote the friendly understanding which
must be the basis of any equitable arrangements.

THE CHURCH OF THE NEW JEKUSAAbM'
During the last week the New Jerusalem
Church has held It's National General Confer
ence. IN Portland, Me-, at which the Rev.
Chauncey Giles was elected President Inere
have also been convocations of its Academies
In Philadelphia and elsewhere associations
little known to the public, of scholarly ana de-
Won't men within che limits Of the Churcn, TOT
the purpose of further eluoidating the principles
laid down by Swedenbo The SwedenDorgian'
especially IL he be learned man, is usually an
enthusiast. There is reason to believe, there7
fore, that these conferences have been among
the most grateful and pleasant Of the many re-
lioious meetings of the season to those who par
ticipated in them. 1t was in keeping, too, with
the poetic, beautiful faith of these people that
they should hold their conferences in the month
of pure air and roses, when, if ever. the ealth
is in tune with heaven. 1t is difficult to arrive
at any correct estimate of the actual numbers
of this sect, since many clergymen and plous
laymen of other denominations accept the
teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg as pendant
or corollary of their own creed. and remain IN
their sects. never becoming members OF the
New Jerusalem Church. Its speculative doc
trines. strange to say, have gained most adhe-
rents in this practical country, and next IN stlll
moro practical England. while there are COM
paratively few IN SwedenbOrg's native country
or in metaphysical Germany.
The fun, simple faith which the cultured
Swedcnborgian shows in the constant care ex-
ercistsl for him by God, through the medium OF
angels, and tho familiarity with which he
speaks of these invisible Powers and Princi-
paitics, are apt to be confusing to ordinary
people. 1t is, at the least, comforting faith |;
for the man who holds that the Creator of the
Universe Is too infinite to take cOgnizance OF his
toothache or smoky chimney, can readily under
stand how he can remit such details Of care TO
His messengers. There is something appalling
in the idea, too. One is willing to admit that
the Archaneel Michael stood on the mountain
beside the body Of Moses, or that Gabriel talked
with Mary because Mary and Moses inhablt in
orr minds the same region with the angels;
land far of, unreal, and misty with the airs of
heaven. But when one comes to think OF these
Creatures of God, abnOrmally keen in sight and
BIG in intellect aud morals, going invlsibly up
and Down Broadway, the idea Is not at all COM
Portable If it is SO, what do they think OF MS,
after all They can compare us with our lore
fathers of every generation back to Adam. do
they find us any larger as to brain or purer
of purpose than the old Jew or Greek or Chal-
dean.9 Hooking down from their point of view,
how would the rage for OLD china be likely to
stIike them, for example, What would they
probably think of hanging? Who is anxious
that they should watch his days dOingsf
The Swcdenborgian, if he is conscious of such
daily companions as these, ought surely to DC a
larger and finer natured man than any OF us.
