''Does farming pay?" question
which is always up for discussion in
agricultural communities. The New
England Homestead, published at
Springfield, Mass, year ago last
Spring offered six prizes for the best
Kept farm accounts for the year ending
with April l, 1884. The average farm
er is mo hand for keeping accounts, +" to
use his common expression, and of the
eighty mine contestants who began more
than half fell out by the way. OF the
fortytwo accounts which were kept up
for the whole twelvemonth, thirty six
showed profit and six small loss, due to
the unprecedent drouth of two success
sive seasons. The profit on the capital
invested of the thirty-six after allow
lowing for all the expenses, including
the labor of the proprietor, ranged from
one half of one per cent. to over forty,
the average being ten per cent. on a
total capital of 100000, while the
profit on the whole forty-two was eight
per cent. on total capital Of $182, 800.
As these farmers may be safely ranked
among the most enterprising and sue
cessful Of their class, it is evident that
the average profit on farming through
ont New England must fall far below
eight per cent.

A letter from an officer at Fort Buford, Oak.
says: Private Charles b. Henry, who was shot at
Cape Sabine for theft, would never have been &C
cepted as member of the Lady Franklin Bay
expedition had his character been as well
known to the authorities who organized it as it
was to some of the members Of the Seventh
United States cavalry. He joined Troop G, of
that regiment, in 1876, under his proper name
Charles Buck. In the fall of 1877 the reg
iment camped at Fort Buford for a
WHILE after it's return from the Nez
Perez campaign, during which time Buck en-
ployed his spare time in forging checks for o
considerable amount on the post traders Leigh
ton, and Jordon. For some unaccountable
reason he was not punished for this offense.
Being embroidered for having escaped punish
ment for his offense at Buford, he again en-
gagged in the same business while the Seventh
cavalry was camped at Camp Sturgis, where
Fort Meade now stands, during the summer Of
1878 Heoperated this time on the field traders,
Fanoheim and Roberts, and was again de-
tected, tried by conrt martial, convicted and
sentenced to be dishonorably discharged from
the service, with fol fixture of all pay and al
lowances, and to be confined at hard labor, I'M
der charge of guard, for one year. He
served his sentence, believe, at Fort Meade,
Oak. Ho again enlisted, uuder the name of
Charles B. Henry. and was assigned to the
Fifty cavalry, from which he was detailed for
the arctic expedition, where his conduct was
in keeping with his former acts. He was a
plausible rascal, ready of speech, and could
easily impose himself upon unsuspecting per-
sons.

French Bombardment of q Chinese Port.

Dispatches from English sources confirm the
even carry the story to later hour of Saturday.
When Admiral Courbet ordered his ironclads
to open fire he was CALAMITY responded to by a
squadron of ten Chinese gunboats on the
River Min. These were differed by Euro
peans, and the Chinese gunners served their
pieces well, but the caliber of the guns was
too small for the shot to infict serious injury
effect, and the discipline was perfect From
the moment the French guns got the range
on the Chinese boats, pitiless rain OF
iron was kept up. In vain the Chinese
craft steamed hither and thither One by
one they went down with great gaping holes
in their Sides until seven Of the well-fought
gunboats had sunk, with the dragon flag
for want of unwounded men to serve the guns.
The French feet now moved up the river and
took position opposite the great arsenal OF
Foo Chow. Its fanking forts and water batter
les replied at first with some spirit, but the
French shells were dropped beyond them in
the arsenal itself. A tremendous explosion
that shook the earth showed that French
shell had fallen into a powder magazine.
From that moment the Chinese firing ceased
For three hours the French guns poured q
storm of shells upon the arsenal, which was
now on fire in several places The signal to
cease firing was at length given, and it was
seen that the place was utterly destroyed. Tow
ard nightfalI several detachments of sailors
and marines landed without opposition. The
Chinese batteries were deserted, and the place
was in the hands of the French. No advance
was attempted on the city of Foo Chow itself
The French feet cannot ascend the river any
further.

If the farmers of the United States are

ige as wheat growers, the millers of Am
erica are still holding their own nobly in

Results Of Greely's Expedition.

Lieut. Greedy had cordial reception from the
British Science Association at Montreal He
was surrounded and welcomed in an expressive
manner by Sir Henry LEROY. Sir Henry said
he, as well as all geographers and scientific men
of Great Britain and the whole of Europe had
followed with great interest the efforts made to
effect the release of his party, and hailed with
the keenest delight their rescue
In reply to Sir Henry's inquiries Lieut.
Greedy stated that the meteorological observa-
hons have not been reduced. In an animated
manner he proceeded to speak Of some of the
work done on the expedition One of the

their instruments had to be abandoned, the
pendulum apparatus which weighed ninety
pounds, was brought back and has been sent
to Washington. He remarked with evident
pride that he had told his party that the pen
dulum was very important instrument, but
that if one man of the twenty-five complained
he would immediately abandon it None would
hear of this and a very important comparison
is thus made possible Speaking OF the obser-
walton of temperature, he stated that the low

A curious fact shown by the Uni ted
States Treasury's balance sheet at the
close Of this years business is that
there is nearly $40, 600, 900 of outstand-
ing government securities on which the
money is due and uncalle for, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Commercial. On all of
these interest has been closed, and
there can be no possible reasons for the
holders to delay presenting them for
retention. Some of them have been
due for many years. On some of them
are due large sums of interest, which
have not been called for, so that the in
terest on tn ese alone amounts to $347,
600. What has become of these docu-
ments and why they are not presented
is something no one can find out. Some
of them matured half century ago,
and are still unheard from and unpre-
sented.

Another Proposed North Pole Hunt.

The New York Yacht club, Of which James
Gordon Bennett Jay Gould and Cyrus W.
Field, Jr, are members, entertained the Of
ficials Of the Greedy relief expedition at dinner
few days ago. Chief Engineer Melville Of
this city made q long speech, in which he set
forth the feasibility Of settling once for all the
question Of an open arctic sea, and that too,
without loss Of life. He stated bis will
ingness to take command of such an
expedition, and that moderate sum
would be sufficient to cover all the ex-
penses. Young Mr.. Field, in answer, said that
he was convinced of the truth of the theory ad-
vanced by Chief Engineer Melville, and that he
was perfectly willing to advance half the sum
required to meet the expenses of the expedition,
provided the other members of the yacht club
present would put their names down for the
remainder. This they, at once agreed to. The
money was subscribed on the spot, and there
is no doubt that an arctic expedition under
Melville's command will sail from an American
port in the fall of 1885. Lieut. Melville will
obtain leave of absence from the navy without
pay for two years for this purpose.

The demand for female teachers in
English schools is said to be greater
than the supply. The attractions of
matrimony and the depressing effect of
rigid examinations are given as the two
chef causes of the dearth in England,
but as both matrimonial opportunities
and rigid examinations are to be found
on either side of the water, it is prob
ably more correct to say that the Amer
lean abundance of applicants is due to
the greater prevalence among the
young women of this country of de-
termination to seek their own livelihood
independently and to make a career for
themselves.

A terrific storm of cyclone character pre-
vailed at Winnipeg Wednesday night, doing in
calculable damage to property in towns and

cling crops to an extent not yet ascertained, al
though believed to be large. Rain poured,
lightning followed, and tremendous crashes of
thunder prevailed all the evening.
Clouds driven by wind advanced upon each
other like opposing armies They burst in
the fearful onset upon each other, and for an
hour or more waged war attended by disas-
trous results The roof was w1enched of
the Hudsgn Bay stores and torn to pieces,
damaging surrounding buildings.
No less than fifty buildings in the city of Win
nipeg were damaged by the storm Roofs were
carried away, ends were blown out OF houses,
chimneys were blown down, plate glass win
dows were broken, signs were knocked endwise,
telephone and telegraph wires were Frustrated,
and general havoc committed. Reports from
twenty or thirty points in the province show
that the storm caused results much similar to
those witnessed in Winnipeg.
