What Flowed Ground Pays Farmers.

Take one illustration of the magni-
tude of our agriculture. Omitting the
pastoral interest, which exceeds any
other one; also leave out garden and
fruit products, root crops, rye, barley,
peas, beans, in short everything except
four leading crops grown on titled
ground, viz, corn, wheat, oats and cot
ton. The total yield of these for the
present and past four years aggregate
in round numbers about eight hundred
and twenty-five million bushels of corn;
twenty-three hundred million bushels
of wheat and oats, and thirty million
bales of cotton. II we estimate the av-
erage money value to the actual pro-
duoers on the farm, and for the crops
sold and used by themselves, at seven
ty cents per bushel for wheat, thirty
cents per bushel for corn and oats,
and thirty-five dollars per bale for cot
ton, we have the soil yielding in these
four plowed crops alone, over five
thousand seven hundred and thirty-tw0
million dollars; or over eleven hundred
and forty-six million dollars every
years. sum so vast as to be beyond
actual comprehension. All other pur-
suits sink Into insignificance in COM
parison with that of the farmer. Amer

A New System of Navigation.

Leonard Fogg, of Kennebunkport. Me.
mas invented new and improved system OF
navigation. The object is to accomplish. q
higher rate OF speed, to furnish more sea
worthy boats, to render navigable more shal
low water, and 10 furnish boat that can be
| propelled in canals by steam or other simi-
lar motive power with as little harm to the
banks OF the canal as though drawn by pow
er on land. Mr. Fogg says:
ne nature OF my invention consists in
having the boat pass more upon the water
than through II, and in situating the paddle
wheel IN the forward end of the boa, that
the displacement of wafer, that must other
wise De, be made by the propelling machine.
IL is obvious that any instrument pressed
against the water TO force passage of a
boat through the water will itself make dis
placement according to the relative resisting
capacity TO that of a boat therefore. no,
only Is displacement made for the passage
OF the boat but another much greater per
haps to effect this passage
Therefore to effect nv object construct
boat with large fiat bottom of uniform
width and rising as it nears the stern until il
leaves the water. A keel on each edge.

An Unequaled Address to the People


To paraphrase Webster it is not necessar,
TO enter upon any encomium on Mr.. Blaines
letter of acceptance The man who cannot
understand its wonderful simplicity and
cogency upon first reading is in a homeless
piight as regards any explanation. Mr.
Blaine has way of doing whatever he un-
dertakes better than any one has done before
him, and political annals may be searched in
VAIN for any parallel address to the people
upon such an occasion. One of its leading
characteristics is courage and plain speak
ms. Mr.. Blame meets every issue pro-
posed by The Republican platform OF by the
eNigeheies OF the hour. not with quibble and
evasion, but with trankness and unm;stakab!r
declarations of principle 1t NAV be said
'hat ne supplies whatever was lacking in the
platform, expounds its meaning, furnishes
It's proof anu rounds it into a symmetrical
body OF opinion. At the very outset he
strikes the keynote of the campaign the
protective policy which has fostered Ameri-
can industry, and keeps it ringing through
a magnificent and sustained argument of
several columns founded on the prosperity
OF our land and It's commerce at home and
abroad. Ills treatment of opposing opin-
ions is as far and courteous as customary
win hlm. but none the less effective. The
array OF figures which he weaves in with his
logic marks that close study ana com
nand OF facts in which Mr.. Blaine Is
without peer among pablic men.
II is absolutely certain that every one of his
assertions will be found without flaw ON
ne closest scrutiny, for that is the result of
MS method Of work on public questions.
here IS very little ofthe Ego in the letter.

A Tale of Southern Gratitude.
From the Lowell Citizen.

A white haired veteran of the war recent

remembered and was pleasantly greeted By
a comely. hearty looking woman of 60 years.
Madam" said the veteran in tones OF

Here the silvered head of the veteran was
bowed in his hands, and the burning tears OF
an overwhelming grief trickled slowly
through his trembling fingers.
The good woman was much affected. MY
dear sir. she cried, as she furtively dried
her sympathetic ewes, "instead Of you owing

One Way With Horses.


There is mighty difference in the way
men handle horses. Some drive them as
we suppose slaves are driven, unwiliingly
and bitterly Both man and beast are thus
unhappy, poor service is done, and the re
suit is exhaustion. Others-a few only,
and chief of those know is our friend
D.-driye their horses not as driving
them. but rather as sympathizingly
accompanying them on their journey.
To parody the old saying, there are horsemen
and horsemen. horse enslavers and lovers of
horses. Now, such man is ID. that his
horses fully confde in him, and though the
way be long. or the pace swift, they consent
10 it all, and, am persuaded, enjoy
the work equally with their master. Hav-
ing talked little to the mares, and made
their head-gear easy, ID. took the reins, say
ing "Now, girls, let's see what you can do ~
The girls answered witha rafting gait, and
we bowled over Elm street in way to disturb
the late sleepers on that Sunday morning.

MRS. HURDs' NIECE. BY Ella Farnam.
The Young Folks Library Illustrated. Bos-
ton d. Lothrop 4 Co. Price - cents Thi-
fascinating story, one Of the best from the au-
thor's practised pen, will find multitude of
earnest and appreciatiye readers. 1t draws
sharp contrast between genuine, practical re-
ligon and its fashionable substitute, and shows
the hollowness OF life not based upon sound
principle. The character of Lois Gladstone is
clearly and effectively drawn, and the story of
her experience in the Hurd household, with
the changes brought about in it through her
quiet but persistent influence, is told with
skill and feeling. There is hardly a page with
out its suggestive passage, and we know of few
books which contain so much that is really
helpful to young girls placed in positions
where self-control, moral courage and self
sacrifice are required.
