Thousands of Trunks.

From 5000 to Z 100 trunks day have
been arriving in Philadelphia by cars
and boats for several weeks past.
These trunks have been a-summering
They have been pretty nearly every.

have returned from the hills and the
dales, from the seaside and the river.
banks and from away over the sea.
Lots Of them have been to Paris and
seen all that the name implies. A great
many, now that the theatrical season is
fairly opened, have come to town to
look after the people who instruct, en-
terrain and amuse sojourners here dur
ing the fall and winter Many of these
trunks are as instructive and amusing as
their masters and mistresses, if you
look at them rightly. They are of all
shapes and sizea-big, little, square and
eblong, fat and bulgs, fall and thin,
Some OF them are aged and 'ipiitnr,
others are youthful and vigorous, and
like their masters and mistresses, they
are of all degrees of condition and
style.
''Now that's nice lot of stuff over
there" said Dan Watson, the baggage
master at the Pennsylvania depot.
"Come over and I'll show it to YOU.
Jnst Jock at it! Some pieces don't look
as if they WQhld bling twenty-five eents

Imperial Highness the Grand Duke.
The stages. you know. and the lights

Casting his eyes about the immense
baggage room the reporter thought it
looked as though q thousand English
hunters had arrived with their usual
quantities OF luggage and were on
their way to the plains to shoot buffalo,
Theatrical and other companies travel
with 90 to 800 pieces of baggage. Ma
pleson's opera company had MS high as
800 pieces. Some of them take their
own scenery wagons with them, as
such eongeyanee cannot be procured in
every city. Upon Inquiry az the hotels
the clerks informed the reporter thai
since the centennial exhibition they
have not been more crowded than they
now are. They have little room for
any more trunks with their owners

Litchfleld News Ledger: 'The
powers tAat be" are making strenuous
efforts to persuade the legislature to
make an appropriation of 100000 to
enable the state society to fix up its
new grounds. Now, it would
seem to US that the society
could get along very nicely with the
little sugar-plum of $4,000, and
the legislature could donate the
other $25 900, to the county societies
of the state, aud in thus assisting
these worthy organizations, confer a
benefit both upon the people at large
and upon the state society. Far be it
from us to say that the latter should
not have assistance; on the contrary
we insist that it is of great Importance
that pecuniary aid should be extended
in that direction, but at the same
time we contend that the state can
we'll afford to help the primaries
feeders of the state eociety, even if it
is necessary to encroach upon the
100000 appropriation asked. We
hope that this matter will attract some
little attention, and feel certain that
partial exercise of reasoning powers
will lead to similar conclusion.

whose duties shall be to receive APP
plications and petitions and arrange
for the holding of such institutes and

The entire amount to be appropriated
for institute work as provided by the

of no way in which the farmers of the

experience, they are sure to MAKE

of the state and government to ai|
them by furnishing them with tn
practical results of the experience o

errors of others and become more full

Institutes are intended to bring on
something more than tine-spul

Last Friday, Representative Erick-
son of this county introduced bill
into the legislature, that if it becomes
a law, is destined to have great in
fuence upon the future prosperity of
the agricultural districts of the state
and of the people engaged in agicultu-
raj pursuits. The bill provides for the
appropriation of moneys out of the
state treasury for the maintenance
of County Farmers Institutes, SINH
lar in character to the one held at
Montevideo last March, but other
wise under state control. The bill pro-
vides that any county in the state that
maintains a County Agricultural So
ciety or all association for the promo
ton of agriculture, horticulture, dairy
ing or stock breeding, may make APP
plication through the officers Of such
society for such an institute, and also
such other agricultural counties as
may present the application of their
County Commissioners or petition
signed by not less than 25 residents
and Taxpayers and that if it be found
that such counties will be materially
benefited thereby, that institutes may
be appointed and held at such times
and places as shall be especially con-
venient to the farming classes and
that they shall be entirely free to the
public. 1t provides that not to ex-
coed 800. shall be expended out of
said appropriation for any one county
institute so held and that the moneys
be expended only for the necessary
and legitimate expenses of the insti-
tutes. such as board, travelling ex.
penses and compensation for services
of regularly appointed instructors. 1t
also provides for the appointment, by
the Governor, of some person deemed
especially competent, to take .clasge

The trip from st. Paul to Chicago
over the C. NJ. & st. P. Ry. is always
a pleasant one. Their coaches are
elegant, their dining car service per-
feet, and their palace sleepers all that
could be desired. The officers and
employees of the road are uniformly
gentlemanly and courteous, and do all
in their power to make it pleasant for
passengers. The scenery along the
line is also quite an attraction, es-
pecially over the river division. An
othor point worthy of note, is that a
greater number ofimportant cities is
passed through than over any other
line. These numerous attractions
combined make the Milwaukee road
deservedly popular with the travelling
public.

The growing Of sorghum ought TO DC
be one Of the future great interests in
the United States. The consumption
or sugar is enormous and is continu-
ally increasing. During 1888 we i'm
ported the grand total OF 2,8l0, 000, 900
pounds Of sugar, and louisiana pro-
duced 100000 pounds more. All
this was consumed, It would seem
that the general culture OF sorghum
for sweets ought to he profitable In the
face of demand so great and do
nestle supply 30 email. As a nation
we consume about forty pounds of
sugar year per head. while we do not
raise more than q small fraction of
that average. The remedy is in the
growing of sorghum and the pro-
