The latest dispatches from Val
pariso, August 20, say that the in
surgent army effected a landing
that morning at Quintero Bay, only
twenty miles north of the city. Its
numbers are reported at from 5000
to 10000 men. The point Of land
ing is only about fifty miles from
Santiago, where the government
forces, to the number of 10000, are
stationed.
The government were expecting
them at Coquimbo, believing that
would be the first place attacked
as there had been an insurgent
fleet lowering about there; but this
was only blind, and the landing
at Quintero a complete surprise.
Admiral Brown, who saw them,
says the insurgents are well armed

FOREIGN GLEANINGS.

The new Constitution of Ken
lucky, which supersedes that of
l849, has been ratified by the peo-
pie by an overwhelming vote. The
evil against which the Constitu-
tional Convention of Kentucky di-
rected their chief efforts was the
growth of corruption of politics.
Accordingly, the new Constitution
abolishes viva voce voting, and
provides that all elections by the
people shall be by secret ballot.
The situation at Pekin is grave.
The Ministers of England, France
and Germany, in behalf Of the
others, have daily interviews with
the Tsung-Li Yamen. The imperial
edict is q dead letter. Human is
the centre of trouble. The bulk of
the army is composed of Human
men, and they defy the authority
Of the Pekin Government. The
Ministers insist on the suppression
OF secret societies, that Human be
opened to commerce, that the man
darins implicated IN the riots be
degraded, full amends be given for
outrages with assurances for the
future, or the Powers will take i'm
mediate concerted action.
The British Mediterranean Squa-

and ceremony by the French ships

the English bands replied with the
Marselllaise." On the 18th, a
French Squadron arrived at Ports
mouth and anchored under the
meadows of Osborn Park, the an
chorage having been selected bv
the Queen herself. The Squadron
was received by a large gathering
OF English men-of-war, clouds of
yachts and excursion steamers.
Statutes were exchanged amidst
loud cheers from the people on

There is much work wasted on the
roads by patching, here u little and
there little, graveling Il patch here
and there without properly grading.
The best way is to begin at the VIII
lage or railroad station and build and
complete good solid road as far as
you go; then every one who goes to
town or station gets the benefit of the
road, while if you begin at the end
farthest from town, no man gets
much benefit from it till it passes his
house. 1t will encourage those in~
terested in the line Of road to push 1t
rapidly to completion when they see
the difference between the good solid
end of the road and the muddy end.

long that was built under the free
turnpike law of Ohio, and tax Of so
cents on each one hundred dollars of
real estate and personal property for
three years enabled us to grade the
road-bed and put the first coat Of
metal on it, and 80 cents on the hun
dred dollars for three years more
completed it. This road was built
about twenty-five years ago, and has
been kept in excellent repair by II
tax of from 10 to 20 cents on the
hundred dollars and the poll tax of
$3.50, which every able-bodied man
between the ages Of 81 and So years
pays for road purposes. About
once in five years we find,
after the tax is applied, that more
work is needed, and each farmer
along the line of the road is invited
to give one or two days work with
his team, and most of them respond
cheerfully. Nearly all the farmers
worked out the tax to build this road
We put in good, faithful work, and
I am sure that not a man who helped
build it would take the cash for al
the tax he has ever paid on the road
and do without it.
The subject of roads would be al
excellent one to discuss at the farm

A. Farmers Confession of Faith.

The following confession Of agri-
cultural faith was adopted at recent
meeting Of Canadian Farmers:
"We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation; we believe
that the soil lives to eat, as well as
the owner, and ought therefore be
well MANFRED; we believe in going to
the bottom of things, and therefore
deep blowing and enough of tall
the better if it be sub soil pillow; we
believe in large crops which leave
the land better than they found it,
making both the farm and the far
mer richer at once; we believe that
every farm should own good
farmer; we believe the best fertilizer
of any soil is the spirit of industry,
enterprise and intelligence-without
these, lime, gypsum and guano would
be of little use; we believe in good
fences, good farm houses, good
orchards and good children enough
to gather the fruit; we believe in a
clean kitchen, neat wife in it, a
clean dairy and clean conscience.
We believe to ask mans advice is
not STOPPING, but of much benefit;
we believe that to keep place for
everything and everything in its
place saves many a step, and it is
sure to lead to good tools and keep
ing them in order; we believe kind
ness TO stock, like good shelter, is a
saving of fodder; we believe that it i:
good thing to keep an eye on ex.
pertinent, and note all, good and bad
we believe it is a good rule to sci
grain when it is ready; we believe
in producing tie butter and tn,
cheese, and marketing it when it il
ready" 4g.IT y

1t is sometimes stated that it is

In the majority of instances the
