THE Brooklyn mass-meeting on Monday
night, to ratify the republican nominations
was something of a novelty. Most people
would think it difficult to gather much of
a crowd at fifty cents head to listen TO
campaign speeches. Yet there was n crowd,
and very enthusiastic one, at the Brook
lyn Academy of Music, Oh Monday night,
for that purpose. The building was filed
in every part, from the stage to the rear
most seat in the top gallery, by fashion
ably .attired audience. STEWART L. WooD-
FORD presided. HENRY WARD BEEcHER
made the opening speech, and was followed
by EDWARDS PIERREPoNT, Corporal TAN

THE Sumter county (S C.) True Southron
notes with great satisfaction the fact that
there are now in operation in Sumter no
less than four reapers harvesting the oat
and wheat crops. The editor predicts that
these machines are the 1orerunners of
"sulky plows, cultivators, grain drills and
"guano distributors--none Of your wheel
barrow walking after concerns but regu-
"lar machines to ride upon" He then
predicts that "hard times will come again
"no more.n These fluctuations will sound
strangely to northern, and western farmers,
who will find it difficult to conceive Of
planting and harvesting without such
labor-saving contriyances, And yet it is
safe to say that fourth Of the crops of the
south have been heretofore raised with no
other agricultural instrument than hoe.
WE are all at times tempted 10 exclaim
against the evils Of monopoly, and espe.
oially against the extortions of railroad
companies. Yet statistics show that there
has been q great reduction in the rates Of
freight in the last decade, and that these

datiops Of lines and the growth of the
power Of railroad magnates. Some inter-
esting statistics lately published have fully
demonstrated the fact that on the Lake
Shore road the traffic increased over 200
per cent. from 1869 TO 1879, while during
the same time the charge per ton decreased
ON per cont. On the New York Central
the traffic increased 2s9 per cent, while the
charge per ton decreased 67 per cent and
the earnings increased 30 per cent Hence
it is eyideut that produce can be shipped
abroad with profit at prices which few
years ago would have entailed dead loss
This cheapening of transportation is so
much direct benefit to both producers and
consumers and has added immensely to
the wealth of the country. AS to passen-

Hamburgs.

There are six different varieties OF
Hamburgs, and for the benefit of those
who would like to know what they
look like" will give brief descrip-
ton of their leading points.
The plumage of the White Hamburgs
as their name indicates is white through
cut. They have large rose combs,
white ear-lobes, well-expanded tail,
with long well-curved sickle feathers
in the cock; slender legs of BLUSH
black color.
The plumage of the Black Hamburg
is black throughout; other points same
as the white.
The Silver Spangled Hamburgs are
we'll named. the plumage being entirely
white, except a black spaRgle on the
end of each feather; the hackel feathers
of the hens are striped towards the end
of each with greenish- black; legs of
slaty-blue; other points same az the
white and black varieties.
The hens of the Golden Spangled
Hamburgs are rich golden bay color
with q greenish- black spangle on the
end of each feather except the neck
feathers which are striped down the
center with black. The plumage of the
cocks differ from that of the hens but
slightly; it is shade darker, being of
reddish-bay; neck and saddle feathers
striped down the center with black;
tail of q rich greenish-black, with
handsomely curved sickle feathers;
other points same as other varieties of
this breed.
Silver Pencilled Hamburg hens have
clear silvery-white plumage, each
feather, except those of the neck, pen
cilled across with greenish-b black bars.
There is not much pencilling visible on
the cocks of this variety; plumage
white, except the tail which is black,
sickle feathers and tail coverts black
with an edging of white; rose combs.
white ear-lobes and slaty-blue legs.
Golden Pencilled Hamburg hens are
reddish bay in color, each feather pen
cilled across with black bars, except
the neck feathers which are of golden
bay color. The cocks of this variety
are more gorgeous in their get-up than
the hens. They have clear reddish-bay
neck and saddle feathers; wing feathers
are reddish bay on the outside web and
black on the inside; each feather of
the secondaries, or feathers which are
visible when the wings are folded, has
q small black spot on the end; breast
and body of reddish-bay; tail black,
with an edge of tho reddish-bay or
sickle feathers and tail coverts; other
points same as other varieties of Ham
burgs.
Tie Hamburgs are all non-sitters; ex-
cellent layers; good foragers; hardy if
allowed liberty, but do not think they
bear confinement well; hens weigh
from three to five pounds, cocks from
four to six. For q cross on common
fowls in order to increase egg produc--
ton, a Hamburg cock would prove q.
good investment.-FA FANNY FIELD, in.

Lost, a Boy.

He went from the old home hearthstone
Only two years ago,
A laughing, rolicking fellow
1t would do you good to know.
Since then we have not seen him,
And We say. with nameless pain.
The boy that we knew and loved 50
We shall never see again.
One bea, Jag the name we gave him
Comes home to us to-day,
But this is not the dear fellow
we kisse d and sent away.
Tall as the man he calls father,
With mans look in his face,
Is he who takes by the hearthstone
The lost koy's olden place.
We miss the laugh that made music
Wherever the lost boy went.
This man has a smile most winsome,
His eyes have grave intent;
We know he is thinking and rlanning
His way in the world Of mep,
And We cannot help but love him,
But we long for our boy again.
W. ea'e proud of this manly fellow
VIII comes to take his place,
With hints of the vanisht Loyhood

And yet comes back the 10 iging
For the boy We must henceforth miss.
Whom We sent away from tie hearthstont
Forever, with kiss.

According to Mr.. Potter, United
States Consul at Crefeld, Germany, the
number of beet-sugar mills in Germany
is 329; in 1850, 1874. Pounds of sugar
made in 1878, $50, 1000, 900; in 1850,
lis, 900, 900. About twelve pounds of
beets make one pound of sugar.
The total product of beet sugar
in all Europe is 5000. .0O0, 900
pounds. Mr.. Potter submits variety
of suggestions to American producers.
The territory in the United States best
suited to the beet is in New England, j,
the vicinity of the great lakes, and in
the same zone westward. The United
States have many advantages favoring
the production of beet root sugar. No
industry, he thinks. could be introduced
into our country yielding more wealth
and contentment to the people than this.

The Sauba ants are very destructive
to the sugar-cane IN Brazil. A process
has been introduced fer the purpose of
destroying these pests, and it has proved
of considerable success. Some litres
of carbon disulphide saturated with
sulphur are poured into the galleries
occupied by the depredators, and the
solution is fred by means OF a fuse.
The ants are killed by the explosion or
by the fumes evolved.

Production OF Gold and Silver.


At the time of the discovery of Amer
lea the total value of silver and gold
known to exist in the Old World, wheth-
er as coin, bullion or plate, has been
estimated at S170,000,0 00 In the 800
years following the discovery of .Ameri-
ca the influx of silver and gold poured
into commerce from America alone in
creased the volume of the precious
metals previously existing nearly forty
fold in nominal value. s,o
Prior to 1859 the United States was
not silver producing region. But the
discovery of the rich, gray sulphurets
of silver, worth many thousands of dol
lars per ton, at the north end of the
Comstock vein in Nevada was the open
ing of an era of silver production which
has extended in geographical area every
year since that time, carrying the total
product of silver from the United States
to the close of the present year prOba-
bly, beyond $3.50, 900, 900 OF the prod
uct of the ComstOck lode about forty
per cent. is gold, fact not always re-
membered when speaking of it as sill
ver-bearing vein.
1HC given W w
the developments in the COmstock lode
has opened up a vast area of mining re-
gions, and while thus far the excess of
value in the output of silver has but
slightly exceeded the value of gold an
nuallyi sent into commerce from other
regions, the discovery of such deposits as
those at Leadville and in Southern Utah,
together with the large and increasing
volume OF silver parted from lead and
copper in other districts, point clearly
to growing disproportion in favor of
silver production. Evidently, America,
both North, South and Central, is
destined to remain, for all we can now
see, indefinitely the largest producer
of both gold and silver. Important
permanent additions have lately been
made in the Black Hills and in the Bodie
district
&. On a former occasion l had the honor
of laying before the Bullion Club the
chief facts respecting the great reserves
of gold which are held in these banks of
deposit, the deep-lying placers of Cali
fornia. Sand banks though they are,
they will honor all drafts made upon
them, and, unlike most financial insti-
tutons, will pay better the more their
stock is watered. A temporary check
has been given to the developments of
their great source of gold from recent
legislative enactments under the new
Constitution in California; but it IL safe
to say that these distractions must yield
to the far more important interests at
stake.-Prof. Sillinan's Lecture.

whereas, if done regularly every week,
it will rarely be more than the task of
a forenoon. After all, there is no better
rule than the old rhyme of:
Monday is the washing day,
As every one may know;
Memorable of dishes washed,
And clothes as white as snow.
And Tuesday is the ironing day,
To make the job complete;
While Wednesday is the mending day
To see that all is neat.
1t may interest our readers to know
that the weekly washing was first inau-
gurated in America. In Hungary still
it is a semi-annual event, and every
spring and fall great heaps of clothes
are taken to the riverside, and the wash
ing lasts for several days. When it is
over there is feast and a dance, as at
a harvest home or barn-raising.-
