working at Low steady wages.

II. l.. Bloomfield, connected with an
extensive southern manufacturing enter
prise, thinks working mon will be best
circumstanced when they are given ready
employment even at reduced wages. He
says: 4: 81 met last summer on tho cars
near Philadelphia shoemaker. On
questioning him l asked what wages he
could earn at his trade. He said, Thirty
dollars per week. l replied that he
should soon be rich. Oh, yes,' he
said, III l only had constant employ
ment.' | next met stoneoutter. asked
him what wages he received. He stated
% SO per day. / said to him, This
should make you rich.' 'Oh, yes,' he
replied, II l could only got constant EN-
plOyment.' l next went TO the Brides
burg manufacturing company, and offered
to purchase some spinning frames and
claimed a deduction on the price OF the
summer before on account of hard times
and low prices. l was told that iron did
not enter into the cost OF production to
any extent--it was labor, and his work
men preferred to work half their time at
high wages rather than reduce their
wages so as to induce men to throw out
their old spindles and put in new."

Scientific Farming.

The state agricultural college in
Centre county has been the subject OF
attention from the trustees 1t enjoys a
net income Of thirty thousand dollars,
fifteen professors and hundred and fifty
students or less. 1t has three farms
one at the college, one in the eastern
part OF the state and one in the western.
The east and west farms are said TO be
discreditable to the scientific farming, of
which they are supposed to be samples
and very poor advertisements, indeed
of the benefit of the agricultural college
But we may say with a good deal of
confidence that the general advertise
ment of the agricultural college Is just
about that which is made by these
farms /; in other words the popular i'm
preston Is that the agricultural college
is of very little public benefit. The board
which has just been sitting on it at
Bellefonte, seemed to have an idea of this
kind. II resolved that the number of
the professors and their salaries should
be reduced there were only one or two
professors Topped off and thousand
dollars or so from their salaries,
but still 1t was "A commencement and a
warning Of what will come if the college
cannot show itself to be of some cOnse
quence to the farming interest it was
created long ago TO promote. One fea
ture Of the appropriation of the college
funds seems peculiar. Six thousand dol
lars was given to sustain each of the
outlying farms. Now 1t does seem that
farm that won't sustain itself should
be got rid Of. IL scientific farming
OF practical kind costs more
than it secures from the land, it
is evidently not of kind that Pennsyl-
vania farmers want TO know anything
abont. What is especially reeded by
farmers ia information as to haw they
may probably work their farms. Here
In Lancaster county the question has
been answered by our German faI Imers
and as they have got rich they have
proved their answer. There is no secret
in 1t they have achieved their results
by hard work In taking off all their land
would yield and restoring to it all il
would take.

Minister Sargent has been transferred
from Berlin to st. Petersburg, and at
the instance OF Secretary Frelinghuysen
the confirmation OF his appointment was
made by the Senate without reference
to q committee. The secretary In tele
graphing this action TO Sargent repre-
sents It to be signal mark of the regard
OF the Senate, and one that any man
might be proud Of. The real fact Is that
Ia saying this the secretary 6bbed since
tie Senate has no such high regard
for Sargent, and meant to ex.
press none for him. IL was will
ing to make the transfer asked for
because IL desired TO rebuke Bismarck
for snubbing Sargent and to express its
approval Of the latter's action in the
matter which has lately been at issue be.
tween the two countries. Secretary
Frelinghuysen in taking occasion TO
furnish Sargent with full certificate
Of good character, delivered what he did
not have In hand. Sargent 10 in truth a
miserablerepresentative Of the character
and intelligence Of the country. lie will
do better in Russia than in Germany.
His modes and measures will suit St
Petersburg better than Berlin. Russia
does net enjoy a high degree Of civiliza
tion neither does Sargent. The Rus
sian mission seems always open as a
place of polite Punishment. Few minis
ters go there save under the pressure OF
adverse circumstances, and OF late 1t has
been a killing place. Cabinet minis
ters who are no longer wanted are
in the habit Of going there, and when
Minister Hunt died, the place was con-
veniently vacant for Secretary Folger,
whom Arthur would love to be rid of.
The determination, however, has lately
been reached that 1t will not do to put
F0lger out, unless he offers to go and as
there was no chance of that, Sargent
was shot into the vacancy under pre-.
tence that it is promotion, which it is
not. The place he leaves at Berlin is
much more inviting to the taste of the
aspiring politician. To say nothing of
the more agreeable residence, there is a
much better chance to get in work
which will win reputation at home. But
circumstances alter cases, and Mr.. Sar.
gent, no doubt, will go away gleefully
because the cold at st. Petersburg is
nothing to the social chill from which he
suffers at'Berlin.

A special from Springfield, ILL.,, says
that the farmers are universally in good
spirits. Two or three dry days will start
the plows. A little plowing has been done
in favored places already. A great deal of
corn remains in the fields throughout that
section, and on gathering it this spring 1t
is found TO be OF little value for the
purposes of feeding. More than score of
leading farmers have been questioned dur
ing the week, and they agree that there is
great likelihood that the corn planting
will be oyerdone this year, as result of
the high prices obtained during last
winter. This fact is admonishing the
sharper class of farmers to turn their
attention to other branches of work,
and the cattle industry will have a
corresponding increase. Much complaint
is heard Of the ravages of field mice in
the meadows Of Northern Sangamon
and part OF Logan counties, and in
some localities farmers are offering pre-
miums for destroying theD. In st. Clair
county the warm rains aud pleasant wealth
er of the past week have been Of material
benefit to the growing wheat. with the
exception Of small patches which have been
under water. 1t is in fine condition, par
ticularly the early wheat, and the indica-
tions now are that there will be an abun
dant crop, as the severe winter weather
did 1t no material damage.

Hsr oio ACT OF y Conductor.

hcuhiuk
AS engine S74 was coming from Preston
oolliery, in the MahanOy region, with q
loaded train, little child two years old
was discovered lying in the centre of the
track with its head on the rail- The
child seemed to be asleep. The engineer
endeavored to stop the train, but as he
was coming down a steep grade, TO stop
was out out of the question. Conductor
Joe Powers taking in the situation at a
glance, sprang ont of the cab and ran
down the boards to the COW catcher, where
he braced himself, and as the engine and
train thundered down to near where the
child was, he made gallant leap and sue
ceeded in scooping up tho little one, just
as the COW catcher struck the arm which
held the child in safety. Such an act Of
heroism is certainly deserving OF more
