Probably the Largest Farmer In
the World.

Hiram Sibley. of Rochester, N. Y, is
said to be the largest farmer in the world
He owns more than hundred improved
farms. One in Illinois. formerly known
as the "Sulivant Farm" contains 10000
acres; another in Cayuga Co.. N. Y, s.
500 acres. Farmer Sibley" is not, how
ever, a typical son of the soil, having
long been identified with great com.
mercial enterprises, and working harder
with his head than with his hands. He
organized and was for over fifteen years
president of the Western Union Tele.
graph Co., and has also had extensive
railroad interests. He is now the head
of one of the largest seed houses IN the
world. The name of Hiram Sibley G. Co,
is already a household word in thousands
of homes, to which their farm, garden
and flower seeds are sent each year. They
not only furnish seeds, but also valuable
information as to best methods of grow
ing them. They publish the Farmers
Almanac, the northern edition of which
contains valuable articles on the culture
of special crops by the best American
writer's; the farm Seeds Manual, which
gives a rare fund of information upon
the growing of all farm crops; also Flax
Culture for Seed and Fiber, which thor
oughly discusses the Flax production of
the United States and how to increase it.
Eor these books, the nominal price of
ten cents each is charged, but they send
their Spring, Fall and Implement Cata-
logues, free to all applicants. They are
undoubtedly good house to deal with.

American Newspapers In 1sss.

From the new edition Of Messrs. Geo.
p. Rowell & Co.'S American Newspaper
Directory. which is now in press, il ap.
pears that the newspapers and periodicals
Of all kinds issued in the United States
and Territories now reach the imposing
total OF 1,166 This is sn increase OF
5S5 in twelve months. Taking the States
one by one. the newspaper growth in
some is very considerable. The present
total in New York State. for instance, is
1 1.399-a gain Of so in the past year. The
increase in Pa. is 4s. the existing
number being 943. Nebraska's total
grew from 175 to POI, and Illinois,
from 200 to S04. A year ago Mass.
achuse,ts had 420 papers: now the
number is 49, In Texas the new papers
outnumbered the suspensions by 8. and
Ohio now has 1888 papers instead of 692.
The most remarkable change has oc.
CURED in the Territories. in which the
daily papers have grown from 43 to 63,
and the weeklies from 1859 to 243-Dakota
being the chief area of activity. The
number OF monthlies throughout the
country grew from 976 to 1.034. while
the dailies leaped from 996 to .062. The
figures given above are exclusive of
Canada, which possesses a total of COG.
1t is interesting to note that the newly
settled regions of the Canadian North
West are productive Of newspapers as
we'll as OF wheat. for the number OF
journals issued in Manitoba was nearly
doubled during the year.

Many OpOssumS.

When Lafayette paid visit to the
United States he intimated his desire to
become master of an opossum. and
Baltimore editor gladly undertook to see
that the General had one to take home
with him. Anxious to make the most OF
the occasion, he proclaimed his want in
a higbly-spiced appeal to this country
men, urging them to prove that repub'
lies were not always ungrateful. They
responded cheerfully--tooc cheerfully-to
the appeal. 0possums came in from
north and south, east and west, until the
overwhelmed journalist found himself
possessed of 2,199 too many. He could
hot afford them separate accommodation
he dared not lodge them together: so al
night, he turned them loose in Monu'
ment Square to quarter themselves as
they listed. Next day 'possums were
here, there and every where in Balti'
more, to the delight of the black and the
disgust of the white citizens, who fer
vently wished that Lafayette had nevel
heard of an opossum, or that the editor
had executed his commission with more
discretion.-AH the Year Round.

4 Little Boys Prayer.
[Middletown (vt.) Mercury.l

A lady residing in this village, the
mother Of a bright little boy, was talking
to him the other night, just as she was
putting him to bed, about the efficacy of
prayer, and told him that if he would
ask God for any thing that he particular
ly desired she had no doubt his request
would be granted. The little fellow
knelt at his mothers knee and prayed to
God to send him fifty little sisters and
one hundred little brothers. The prayer
was never finished, for the mother,
aghast at the prospect of having her
house turned into an orphan asylum,
lifted the boy to his feet and tucked him
into bed without moments unnecessary
delay.
