Government Neglect.

The circular Of the commissioners
of the proposed national agricultural
exhibition, to be held at Louisville
this year. is being largely distributed
over the whole country at an early
date. We see ne reason why this ex-
position should not receive strong
encouragement by the general gov
eminent, and we believe the new
congress will look upon the project
with favor. The circular, speaking
OF the agricultural interests of the
listed States, says:
''ln our country there are about
5000, 600 persons engaged in agricuI-
ture, and about 100000 persons en-
gagged in manufactures. There is
more than $12, 600, 600 900 capital in
vested IN farms implements, and live
stock, aud not S. 900 600. 900 capital
invested IN manu- factures. So saws
the census Of 1880 The profits of
the whole body of manufactures are
about equal To the whole profit on
agricUltu e, yet the history of our
national legislation shows every effort
directed toward the development and
stimulation Of manufacturing inter
ests, while agriculture has in the
naain been left to Work out it's own
results.
For many years the feeble effort
to maintain at Washington bureau
devoted to agricultural interests was
the jest Of the country, and even now,
with all the good accomplished by the
department Of agriculture in the face
of adverse circumstances and made
quate means the aid given to agricul-
ture by congress, in comparison with
the practice of other governments, is

family that is made the pack horse of
the neighborho~d because they never

Wise Sentiment.

Happy is the man who can find
solace at home. Warm greeting from
loving hearts, fond glances from
bright eyes, and welcome shouts of
merry-hearted children; the many
thousand little arrangements that
silently tells Of thoughtful and ex-
pectant love. These are the minis
tration that reconcile US to the prose
Of life. Think of this We wives and
daughters Of business men; think of
thu tolls, anxieties, the modification
and wear that fathers undergo to Sc
cure you comfortable homes, and
compensate them for their tolls by
making them happy by their own
freside.
God is to be seen a,d heard and felt
IN his works. The universe is there
fore the language by which the Deity
expresses his thoughts and feelings,
and earth, with all it's phenomena Of
things animate and inanimate, is the
speaking of God to man as friend to
friend.
A blameless person is all very well
in book, to point moral or adorn
tale, but In real life he is distinctly
disagreeable, because he is SO differ-
ent from every one else.
The theory that boy may be
popped into school, like corn into o
mill, to come out, after a time, ready
for use, has been exploded by the sad
experience of nearly all that have
tried it.
It may be trife that we buy clay
fer candy, or cornmeal for ginger,
but it is no tribe to have falsahood
and fraud pervade mercantile life, so
that in many departments of trade
honest goods are the exception.
Men are born histories, unopened

born into this life brings down some
thing of his father and something of
his mother, with new mixture made
by the mingling of the two.

Buffers Washington Home.
Boston Record

The other day we sent dispatch
making the announcement that Gen.
Butler had succeeded in renting his
house to the senate for committee
rooms. The rent is fixed at $4,000 q
year, and the senators buy at an APP,
praisal the carpets and other furniture
which they think can be used by the
new occupants. This new move will
surprise some of the senators very
much. Two have already told me
that they had NO knowledge of any
such authority being given, and
would have opposed it had they been
aware of the plan. The committees
which will be housed there will have
very little work to do-perhaps one
meeting q year is their average. You
cah see that a committee with any
business before it could not transact
it successfully at rooms so far from
the senate chamber. But there is no
danger that any trouble will be ex-
perienced. The senators who expect
to be located In the Butler house,
headed by Bowen, of Colorado, will
be handsomely accommodated, and
their sideboards will never be empty
when friends call. I understand they
will fix one room with billiard table
and be generally comfortable. Before
the winter is over, some echoes of
high times may come out through
these walls. The house is a gem in
its way, complete to the highest point
of the cupola. Some years ago Sen.
Jones, OF Nevada hired and furnished
it without regard to expense. When
he fell into financial difficulties he
could not pay the rent, and so turned
the furniture over to TIE owner, and
this Gen. Butler is selling piece by
piece. During his present stay the
general is probably occupying the
house for bhe last time.

Earthquake Phenomena.

The only settled facts about EARTH
quakes are, that they are the result of
some shock impaired to the rocks at q
considerable distance beneath the sur
face, and that this shock reaches the
surface in series Of conccntric rings,
all points on the circumference of each
ring receiving the shock at the same
moment, even though they may be hum
dreds of miles apart. In other words.
all points at equal distances from the
center of the earthquake receive the
shock at the same moment Although
this is theoretically :he case. according
TO wsll-known physical laws. still in
practice the facts are somewhat differ
ent, for the shock is retarded or accel-
Grated according as the rock opposes
or favors the passage Of the wave. The
severity of the shock in a given place
is dependent upon a variety of causes.
These are: /, The strength of the origi-
nal shock; 2. the distance from the
earthquake center; and. 5. TIE kind os
rock on which one is standing. loose
gravels greatly diminishing tha force
Of the shock. The Ges:r=ctiTeness OF
earthquakes depends rsth.. upon the
suddenness of application than tho
amount of motion Ia that 1t Rio Bon-

opinion taat the Yellowstone National
Park possesses. in a high degree. all
these essential conditions. In eieva-
ton above the sea it surpasses Davos;
the great plateau of the park is be-
tween 1000 and 5000 feet above sea-
level, whi.e it is stated thai not one of
the narrow valleys dips below 5000
feet. The mountain-ranges. partly
surrounding and partly within the

Il. 600 feet. should anticipate, there
fore, that all the advantages which, as
winter resort for inTalids, Dawes
possesses from its elevated position,
would be enjoyed even in u greater de-
gree in the Yellowstone Park. The
period Of permanent snow Is longer, so
tina: inva!i,is could remain there pro-
badly until the end OF April. whereas
the melting OF the snow generally conf
pels them to leave Davos early in
March. when the climate Of the valleys
is peculiarly unfavorable for chest
complaints. 1t is expected, from its
greater elevation, that stiii clearer
sky and :. larger proportion of sunny
days would be experienced in the fci-

greater freedom from zynotic matter.
