Messrs. L. Prang & Co., of Boston, have again
placed the press under obligations for speci-

Years cards. To say that this house publishes
the finest cards of the kind in the world is but
to repeat what is believed by every American.
But this peiief is not confined to America The
press of England, Australia, Germany and Aus
tria is forced to admit that the American pro-
auctions in this line ara the best yet produced
anywhere, which fact should he source of pride
to Americans. The following complimentary
notice from the London Queen is in con-
sOnance with many Others made by
the press of Europe:
"Sorry as we are for the honor of the old
country to confess II, but prORa as we are for
the honor of the young daughter over the sea to
acknowledge IL, we do acknowledge that, for ar
tistic conception and Imaginative rendering,
added to beauty of execution, the cards OF
Messrs. Prang, of Boston, dis lance every other"

this house for the approaching holidays are

lished. 1t is impossible TO particularize. They

1t is estimated that at the time of her
elopement with Paris, son of Priam, king of
Troy, the fair but frail Mrs. Menelaus was
approaching her SEVENTEEN year, though his
tory is not as accurate as it might be on this
subject. At all events she was about eighty
when she Joined Andromache at the wake
over Hector. One is forcibly reminded of
this epic legend by the newspaper announce
ment that still another lady, wife of an actor,
has sued for divorce from her husband upon
the ground that he had fallen a victim to
the destinations of that desperate stage beau
ty and heart-breaker, Mrs. Alice Oates.

Germantown Telegraph.
Some years ago we heard a farmer who had
become rich at the business remark in a con-
versation on what might be called good or
judcious farming that the "test of good
farming is that every successive crop is bet
ter than the one that preceded it." To OBJ
tain such an evidence of skillful tillage how
ever, for a large series of years, would of
course be an mpossibility, but to keep the
soil in such state of fertility as to insure
full and remunerative yield when favored
by the season, is an evidence of intelligent
farming of by no means common occurrence
We have no fear of the ultimate prosperity
of the agriculturist who secures this en-
couraging result of his labors. We have
seen extensive and highly cultivated farms
by subsequent injudicious cultivation
degenerate into barrenness, and we have
not many miles to 90 to see the once
sterile sand plains of Jersey, by systematic
tillage, literally rewarding the proper labors
of the husbandman. Land there that was
formerly covered with rank grasses, buckle
berry bushes and stunted pines now yields
in all abundance the choicest varieties OF
grapes, pears cherries and apples and all the
feld-crops that can be proitably grown in
the adjacent States. Good tillage having de-
veoped the true character of this once COM
paratively unproductive soil has in many
localities enhanced IT'S pecuniary value, and
there are plenty of instances where a quarter
OF centuay ago land that could NOT be sold
for IS an acre would not now be disposed of
for 800 an acre. Thus as the value of the
soil of New Jersey for agricultural purposes
becomes disclosed, the quantity and worth
of her grain, fruit and vegetable products
steadily increases and will continue to do
so.
And all this is the result of what we SIM
ply call judicious farming, and it answers
the question which is asked at the start
