Our coast defences are in bad con-
dition. The fact is, we have none to
speak of, but we ought to have. In
case of war an insignificant foe could
lay waste our seaport towns with i'm
punity and infict immense damage be-
fore we could rally TO defend ourselves.
The people of the country are not igno-
rant of the condition of things but they
are thoughtless about the matter. The
capital of the country, our great Attain
tic seaport and the chief port on the
Pacific should be made invulnerable at
once, and then our entire coast line, as
rapidly as circumstances viii permit,
should be put in condition to ward off
an enemy.

1t appears from the report of the Sec
retary of War that the army does not
grow as fast as the population. In
1870 we had one soldier for every H.
105 men, now we have one soldier for
every 2,569 of the population. The
authorized strength of the army is now
80, 900, but only $4,000 is appropriat-
ed for. The major-general command
ing thinks there should be two more
regiments of artillery.

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.

II. G.. Tolles of Weathersfeld Cen
ter, brother Of Deacon Tolles of Beth
ell, can be marked in the list of sue
cessful farmers. He is over 20 years
of age, but is still hale and hearty and
looks after his business with all the
vigor of so years.
He was one of family Of four broth
ers who were born not far from the
place he now occupies. As the boys
became of age each one was given a
farm as a start in life. The old farm
on which this one got his start is now
owned by another party as a portion
of another farm.
Mr.. Tolles worked out at S12 per
month until he laid aside about $1,000,
which was loaned out to whoever gave
good security. Meanwhile he worked
his farm iudiciously and brought it up
to high state of cultivation. He af-
forwards sold and bought the one where
he now lives.
His farm now consists of $50 acres.
His crops this year comprise 80 tons
of hay, 800 baskets of corn, 273 bush
els of oats and some potatoes and APP
Piles. His method of farming is some
what different from that of farmers ed
ucated in the generations since he was
young. He feeds little or no grain, but
sells it for cash. He buys no fertilizers,
yet makes good use OF what is made on
his farm. Contrary to the scientific
expositions laid down by theorists his
farm grows better yearly. And TO more
completely give the lie to some he is all
the time loaning money and taking
chattel mortgages on the property of
those farmers about him who buy grain
and fertilizers in quantities. The ques-
tion is knotty one for the novice to
answer, yet the facts remain as stated.
The stock now on the place consists
of eight or ten cattle, including the
working oxen, two hogs, l25 sheep and
two horses. His methods Of farming
are similar to all hereabouts. His
breaking up is done in the fall. Some
times the accumulated manure is plow-
ed under, but more often it is spread
on the surface and narrowed in, after
which liberal shovelful is put in the
hill. 1t is old fashioned in the eyes of
some, but in years he has not failed to
secure large crops OF corn.
The gentleman owns the largest
number of acres of any man in town
10S7-besides holding other valuable
He has been hard worker
and frugal in his habits, so his money
has accumulated. Now in his old age
he is enjoying the fruits of his labors
in a pleasant home where he is sur
rounded by every comfort. He has
held the highest town offices and is
looked up to and respected by all.
His use of his money is a worthy
example for all wealthy men to follow.
He is always ready TO help poor man
who has been unfortunate, and many
a hard working man has hlm to thank
for his present prosperity and ownerl
ship of his home. Mr.. Tolles says of
the poor men that he never yet lost
one cent by loaning money to them.
He is always ready TO aid any worthy
charity, and is one of the foremost in
means for religious and ed
lcational privileges. His is an ideal

hundred. To accommodate the in
creasing number that should be placed
upon that list Secretary Proctor thinks
the list should be enlarged. These in
capacitated officers should be removed
so as to permit of the promotion of the

There is an injustice here that should

There are in our army two regiments
of colored infantry and two Of colored
cavalry, and they make most excel
lent record. They are describedlas be-
ing neat, orderly and obedient. They
are seldom brought before eohrtslnisr-
tial and they rarely desert. WhfIe in
some arms of the service sdessEtions
reach as high as % per cent, inthe col
ored regiments it is only about 2 per
cent. An explanation of this is found
partly in the previous civil condition of
the colored man, and partly in the fact
that to the colored man the service Of
fers career, to the white man ref
uge. Among the white enlistments too
many are seeking to hide themselves
from justice, and certain proportion
are known as ''repeaters." !"
