THE INTERNATIONAL MISUNDERSTANDING
Der, 1SSl.-The International Review for
September has eight articles of interest aud
value, some of which at least ought not to
escape the careful attention of all students of
American affairs, while all are important in
the sphere Of discussion to which they pertain,
Mr.. Alexander Bliss writes upon "Naturali-
zation."a theme rapidly assuming proper
tions of vital interest, in view of the great
stream of emigrants constantly arriving in
this country. Mr.. VIM. ]. Armstrong con-
tributes very readable sketch Of "Spain of
To-day" which gives good idea of the po-
litical progress of that land since Queen Isa-
bella abdicated the throne in 1868. Mr.. John
Goldman writes of "Mormonism.' The Diff
culties of Prison Reform " are treated by Mr..
A. s. Meyrick, who has made the subject
special study for several years, and knows
how to tell what he learned in an explicit
and entertaining manner. Mr.. Henry G..
Adams discusses the payment of Public
Debts" and concludes that future issue Of
bonds should be so drawn that the govern
ment will have fnll control over them, and a
sufficient amount be each year redeemable to
consume the treasury surplus devoted to
debt-payment. "The Endowment Of Col
leges" by Rev. Charles F. Thwing, gives
some veiy interesting facts relative to the
value of college property and productive
funds, income. scholarship endowments, ETC.
" Baron BETTING Ricasoli, the Italian states
man, and one Of Victor Emanuef's stanchest
supporters, is made the subject of critical
and biographical sketch by Mr.. VIM. Chauncy
Langdon. The number closes with the first
installment Of series of studies of s.vicior
Hugo" by Auguste Lougel.

York, at $500 per year.

REMARKABLE REvoLUTToN.-The success
of the Literary Revolution in producing a
Cyclopedia the largest ever published 10 this
country, in large type, well printed ana
bound. at the nominal cost of SIS, seemed to
the majority of book buyers SO remarkable,
that the second Literary Revolution, which
reduces the cost Of this most excellent work
to $40. seems almost Incredible. The facts
of the case are, however, made so evident
and go reasonable that there can be no ques-
tioning them. We have in this office some oil
the volumes which demonstrate their superior
character in every way and the facts and
figures which are published In detail in an ar
tiole elsewhere in this paper, under the title
of "a Second Literary Revolution" show
very clearly, though very surprisingly, how 1t
is possible to make such an extremely valua-
BILE aud costly Cyclop@dia accessible to the
masses at such trifing cost.
To remove any possible incredulity which
might exist In the minds Of some that this is
only a plausible scheme for getting large
amount of money in small sums from great
many individuals, In return for books which
might never be delivered, the publishers do
not require any payment whatever In adj
vance. You may, ii you please, simply send
your order by postal card, and make no pay

A Paterson lady bought can of baked
beans the other day, and on Wednesday put
the can in the oven to get hot. About the
time It got the desired temperature, there was
an explosion and the top of the range flew
off and baked beans were plentifully plaster
ed all over the ceiling Of the kitchen, giving
it the appearance of bad case of small pox.

Farming in Tennessee.

y Tennessee correspondent Of the
Nco Eca gives the following uncom.
pllmentary account uf the farming in
that State. We fear that its coun-
terpart could be found. ain spots"
in Centre county.
The land is Of limestone quality;
much Of it has has been somewhat
exhausted lay a party of,t,aaer1. who
have for years mostly farmed corn
With but little wheat, paying scarcely
any attention TO grasses aud clover.
and fertilizing but little. Some fields
have been farmed under this treat
mcut for. am told sixty years, gen
orally in corn. and will vet produce
a fair crop. The land varies in col
or, some being Of dark chocolate
color, while some again is known as
the white soil much Of IL is mixed
with both. The land generally has
fine clay -ubsoil. and will hold
fertilizer, for many years. Manure.
| am told, has shown its effects for
twenty years. When we consider
the treatment this land had 10 the
past. aud what j., yet produces, It's
strength or durability is far superior
g Lancaster county soil. Farmers
from the North have been surprised
tha, our crops do not equal theirs in
bushels. They forgot the lime and
manure they have for years put upon
their lands. By successful farming
they have made il more fertile than
when first farmcd, while this land has
been scu,Tcd since first settled. It
yet produces from one TO three
bushels Of clover seed per acre.
Glover and other grasses generally
do well. The main products are
wheat, corn and oats, while tobacco
has been raised quite successfully.

England can boast OF one editor at
least who might be trusted To ron Il
country newspaper In the United
States.
In his youth Sir Richard Philips
edited and published paper at Lei
cester, England, called the Herald.
One day an article appeared in IT,,

IL was an announcement that it had ar
rived too late for translation, and had
been set up and printed in the orig
inal. This wondrous article drove
haIf England crazy, and for years the
best Dutch scholars squabbled and
poured over it without being able TO
arrive at any idea of what il meant.
This famous "Dutch Mail" WAS in
reality only a"pi."
"Pi,' it may be explained, is a
tumble of odd letters gathered up
and set on end so a. 10 save their
faces from being scraped, TO be dis.
tributed at the leisure OF the printer
in their proper places. Some letters
are upside down, often ten or twelve
consonants or as many yowels come
together, and the whole is pcppcred
with Fluctuations, dashes and so on
until il might pass for poetry by a
lunatic ChoCtaw. The story Sir
Richard tells Of the particular "pl"
he had whole hand in is this:

Sir Richard tells Of man whom

Leicester HTaid, hoping that some
lhy the letter would uc explained.
