Terribly Grand New Zealand Earth
quakes.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12th.-Fur-
ther details of the earthquakes in New |
Zealand state that the most violent dis
turbances were felt in the neighbOr-
hood of ROtOEa. The severity of the |
shocks led many of the people to be-
lieve that the island would sink into |
the sea. The sensation experienced |
is said to have been fearful beyond |
description. Immediately after the |
first shock the inhabitants rushed fran
tically in all directions. When the |
second shock came the entire country
for miles around was lighted up by
the glare from volcano which had
suddenly burst into activity. The
scene was as grand as it was awful.
Huge volumes of smoke illuminated
with flames simultaneously burst from
a range of mountains over 60 miles in
length, and abOvethe smoke could be
seen large masses of fire resembling
meteOrs rushing through the sky. The
natives who had escaped death gath
cred in groups and, filled with terror,
held religious services, but when
another shock would cause the earth to
tremble they would fall with their
faces to the ground quivering with
fear. As soon as news of the
fearful occurrence was received at
Auckland, government agent made
| immediate preparations to go to the
relief of the sufferers. Wagons were
chartered and filed with provisions
and clothes.
Mr.. Johnson, the government agent,
on his arrival at RotOna, sent back the
| following account: 1.-THE scene among
| the mountains as viewed from the
Wairoa road is terribly grand. Flashes
| of lightning, peals of thunder and
shocks of earthquake are incessant
while dust is falling in heavy showers.
| In addition to these Inconvenience,
the roads throughout the entire coun-
try are covered with several feet of
blue clay mud elected from the vol
canoes. All vegetation is destroyed
and the aspect of the country is en-
tirely changed. Blue lake and Lake
| ROtakakashi have been transformed
into mud baths. The outlet of the
latter lake is blocked up and the
bridges which cross the lower end are
covered with mud. Nearly all the
buildings that I have noticed are
crushed in by falling mud. At this
place Shows Temperance Hall and the
two principal hotels, as are nearly all
the other buildings in the town are
completely wrecked. The house Oc-
cupied by Mrs. Hazard and her fam
ily was borne down by the weight of
the debris. Mrs. Hazard was dug out
alive but four of her children were
found dead. Mr.. Hazard is missing" !"

Competition in Agriculture.

From this caption Thomas Baker
read, at the Farmers Institute held at
Oxford, Pa, an essay from which the
following is eonde sed.
The wheat producing lands in the
lder States of New York and Penn.
sylvania have long ago been eclipsed
by the 10000 acre fields of California
and Oregon. The great wheat fields
Of the new Northwest raise an immense
amount Of wheat that is conveyed to
the great elevators and the gigantic
-four mills Of Minneapolis. There is
no doubt that as nation we can
feed the world. In corn We can do
better than this. Its belt of product
ion is broader and larger than the area
Of the wheat lands. Its capabilities Of
making beet, pork and mutton to feed
the millions must 20 unchallenged any
where. In the great Mississippi valley
are the corn fields that must rear and
fatten the beet cattle and other fine
stock which are needed in every civil
ICED community. Eastern farmers can
not compete with their western broth
srs in grain raising and cattle fastening
W While the latter have such superior ia
cilities. Since the decline in the pro-
fits of cattle feeding in this vicinity,
hat began many years since, the dairy
ng interest has been assuming every
year constantly greater proportions.
The expansion Of this important inter.
1t has been due to the rapid growth
# cities and to the more general USE
IF dairy products in every family, how
YER humble their means. Whea we
take into consideration that we have
xcellent pasture, fine springs of good
water and convenience Of near markets,
t seems fair to conclude that the COW
will be or is now king, and not wheat,
,or corn, nor fat cattle. Hence our
interests will be in this connection to
have good breeds of cows, to feed our
stock we'll and to manage their prod
acts sklllfully. We should pay more
Affection to the small products of the
garden and orchard, as they find sale
IN various markets. Let our agrieult.
wrists not rely upon small range Of
productions, but have several crops to
iraw from, and with the indomitable
courage, patience and perseverance tina,
have ever characterized Pennsylvania
farmers, let Us hope that moderate
eward at least will recompeuse labors
and sacrifice.

In the back room of Broadway Of

yesterday to several provisions dealer
and merchants. The invention consist
ed of number of artificial eggs, which
resembled the real article so exactly
that none but an expert could distin-
guished them. The shells were made
of clear, transparent composition, and
the shape was perfectly modelled. The
portion surrounding the yolk was made
Of albumen, and the yolk itself of
ground carrot and saffron Three Of
these artificial eggs were placed on 3

The Farm.
FARM MISCELLANY.

INTENSIVE FARMING is to be the
system of the future farmer This Is
the system Of agriculture referred to b,
Washington when he said The wh'
makes two blades of grass grow where
one grew before is public benefactor.'
No other system will sustain itsel in
the future. The farmer who enriches
his land by keeping it in grass, and
!. manuring on the sod, years aud plow-
and crops it one. will be at less expense
and get more from his land than he
who gives his land no rest, but is cum
stantly pushing it in the hope Of ex.
tracing more from the soil. 1t is lik'
driving willing horse to death.
A Missouri farmer, who has been test
ing seed corn from the butt, the tip and
the middle OF ears for three years. finds
chat the corn from the tip of the ear
will pen first, thst from the middle
next and that from the butt la>
Another fact is developing by the ex.
perience OF horse breeders. Wig: That
horses and colts do better when fed from
the ground. That is the reason place
che grain trough GU the floor. Many
breeders Of high priced horses feed them
directly on the -four.
! There are more opportunities to i'm
prove on the farm than in amy Other
line Of business in the country. We
are producers manufacturers. and We
alao are statesmen. We produce orr
krm crops and manufacture them int
milk, pork. beef, mutton. wool. etc.
using as machines the cow toe pig the
sheep, and other farm animals. I am
sure there is as much need Of skill, ex-
sperience and good judgment on thu
farm as in any business

Knstitate was held hung this beautiful
snotto, the work Of the superintendent
W.H. Morrison: "Speak to a cow as

ELECTION is OVER.

hungry beseeching faces ofthe polite
al candidates wandering over the
country like lost sheep hunting the
fold. No longer do we see groups of
men upon the streets with their heads

No longer do we hear the enticing

weaker brothers into nets and cum
ming traps. No longer do we hear the
jingle of silver dollars ratified in the
ears of the poor and held out as in
ducements to vote for this party or
that. Let US hope that few could be
induced to sell themselves, for he who
could so disgrace himself is unworthy
of a great privilege and should never
again be allowed to vote for any party.
No longer do we see the dusky police
man pacing our streets with military
step and beaming ye! Has he dis
covered yet which party is his best
friend? The political monkey with
characteristic cunning) used or tried
to use somebody's paw to pull
the roasted chestnut from the red hot
ashes was the monkey successful and
did he eat the kernel and did the cat
turn away and howl over his burnt
paw? Will some one inform US !?
No longer do we see dark brows con-
tracted and eyes glittering with fen
dish hate, while bitter words and dar-
ing threats pour forth in overwhelm-
ing torrents, scorching the soul with
their bitter intensity. No longer do
the fumes of Election whiskey offend
