AGRICULTURAL NOTES

There is a class. of professional agita-
tors who persist, year in and year out,
in exciting the prejudices and fears of
farmers especially by proclaiming that
they are defrauded and swindled, and
they are, far more than any other class,
the victims of Of ''monopolies, trusts" i"
combines" etc. without number.
Their object is, Of course. to enable
them to pose as special guardians OF the
particular class thus injured. One can
always read between the lines, and Of

dolph Churchill, the young and handsome
daughter of Mr.. Jerome of New York.
That passion for rich marriages, which
burns in the heart of so many young Amer
lean women, often leads them to disastrous
results.
If one may trust ones eyes, American law
allows young girls to marry their grand
fathers, or at least the contemporaries of
these worthless.
1t is not rare, may say it is quite COM
mon, to see girls of Is and 20 married to men
of 70 and over.
An American told me that he once went
long journey in the same railway car with an
i3tirm, hoary old man of SO, who was accom-
pautad by girl Of scarce more than 20. This
so ing woman was strikingly beautiful My
American friend admitted to me that the
sight of her lovely face had the eject Of
making him fall quite in love with her be-
fore their FIVE days journey was over. He
did not have an opportunity of conversing
with her, but on arriving at their destina.
ton, he resolved to put up at the same hotel
as the old man, so as to perhaps have
chance of making more ample acquaintance
with his fair charge To find out the name
Of the young girl and her venerable grand
father. he waited to sign his name in the
hotel register, until the patriarch had in
scribed bis own. Imagine his feelings when
he read
Mr. X and wife"
Here is joke that culled from a Wash,
ington paper. Is it joke'
"A bachelor lately advertised for a wife.
A typographical error changed his age from
81 to 81; but it made no difference, for he re-
ceived over go applications from ladies
ranging from l6 to GO, and all promising love
and devotion to the rest of his existence"
Here is another which | extract from a
comic paper The author seems to believe
that the American mother does not look on
such marriages with dispeasure
"Mother-So you have engaged yourself

has neither fortune nor position. know he

The real American girl admires male quail
tiles in man. The perfumed dandy, dressed
in the latest fashion, the dude" as he is
called in the States, is not her admiration,
she prefers a little roughness to too much
polish. At large reception given in the
New York Union League club in the early
part of the year, asked young lady who
were ten or a dozen young men who did not

contempt "a few young dudes who have

dancing; marionettes, you know"

read the following piece of information in
New York paper among the news from a
New England city:
THE authorities have begun a crusade
against the nude in art. One of the wealthiest
gentlemen in the city will be proceeded
against for keeping in his house copies of the
Venus of Milo, the Venus de Medci, Canova's
Venus, Powers Greek Slave, the LAGOON,
and other works"
During my stay in New York, | was con-
stantly hearing of a certain Mr. Anthony
Comstock, who had attained celebrity by a
campaign he had undertaken against nudities
Mr.. Comstock visited the museums, galleries,
exhibitions and shops, and, whenever he found
bit of flesh portrayed in paint or marble, he
went before the magistrates and had a grand
field day. must say, for the credit of the
New Workers, that Nj Comstock had earned
for himself a reputation as grotesque as it
was noisy. To take UP such a line of censor
ship is, it seems to me, to publish ones own
perversity, and the individual whose mind is
so i'll informed that he cannot look at an ar
tistic counterfeit presentment of the human
form divine without thinking evil thoughts,
is to be pitied if not despised.
But | suppose there will always be quack
doctors with the cant of virtue on their lips
and filthy imaginations in their hearts.
Meanwhile the American newspapers
seemed to look upon Mr. Comstock as legiti
mate target for their jokes and satire
The New England ladies have the reputa.
ton of being the most easily shocked women
in the world. An American gentleman told
me thata Philadelphia lady, at whose side he
was seated one day at table, grew red to her

\ lady, who enjoyed that most esteemed of
