Explorations into the Businesses of eastern Ken
lucky brought about by the recent cholera scare,
disclose the fact that it is the custom there for
girls of twelve and thirteen to marry-women OF
twenty being frequently the mothers of large
families. 1t cannot be that the Kentucky fash.
ion has become so suddenly popularized in other
sections of the country, for the reason that Ken
lucky sets no fashions; but it is not impossible
that the youthful mania has become epidemic

part of the continent If this is the case il
would be far better had the region remained un.

mony left to rage undisturbed.

THE PROFIT OF FARMING.

Twenty per cent. is small return
for money we'll invested in a farm and
stock; 5000 for $1,000 or $4,000 for
$4,000 is very common income from
well-conducted farm, and there are
abundant opportunities for doing bet
than that. Many farmer has gone
west and has bought land which has
paid him 100 per cent. for several
years. Hop-growers, fruit-growers,
poultrymen, bee-keepers, and even
dairymen sometimes make 100 per
cent. profit, and rarely less than % or
80 per cent. Let farmer sell his
farm for $4,000 and put it in 20
per cent. mine, and get $1,000 year
income. He rents house. buys his
provisions, and his fuel, hires horse
or carriage when he wants to go ont,
and at the end of the year he will find
his income quite insufficient to keep
him in the comfort he enjoyed on his
farm, while all the time the mine is
being worked out, and some day he IS
told "the bottom has fell out Of it,"
and he finds that all his money has
fallen out with the bottom Of his mine.
No certain, sure and permanent in
yestment except a farm can be expected
to pay more than five per cent. now
adays, and all above that has pro-
portionate element of risk in it. But
what risk is there about farm that is
free from debt9 The bottom never falls
out of that, and one may securely enjoy
it as long as he lives and leave it to his
children, knowing that thousand
years hence the soil will still be re-
turning its generous dividends.

"AuoUsrA, We. October u, isS0.
"MN DEAR SIR | received your friendly letter
with much pleasure. Let me say in reply that the
course of Nourse and ether Irish voters is of
the most eNtraot duary anomalies in our political
hist, ~ Never, rpbahly, since the execution of
Robert Emmett has the feeling OF lrishmen the

The letters we receive from Irish Ameri-

conclude that the men who have most at
stake in the tariff issue are now taking an in
terest in the matter. and intend TO support the
industrial policy of the Republican party.
