each territory having one delegate and
each state as many delegates as it has
congressman, and two at large. Many
not delegates attend the annual meet
ings. AT the last annual meeting
thirty-six states were represented by
delegates and the attendance was from
1900 to 1000. This meeting was attend
ed by the president of the National Ed
itorial association, who said of it that
this congress has been characterized hv
strong sense and the absence of charla-
tans and fellows with wheels in their
heads and visionary utopian schemers.
1t was much ADLER congress than the
one which recently adjourned at Wash.
ington. At the suggestion of the sec
rotary OF the congress, the British
provinces, the Central and the South
American countries and Mexico have
been invited to send delegates to the
meeting in this city, and the invitations
have been so generally accepted and
the delegates are men of such caliber
that 1t is safe to say that the meeting
IN this city next October, the first pam
Aperican agricultural parliament, will
heytAe ablest and most dignified agri-
cultural assemblage in our history.
The Farmers National congress diff
fers materially from other agricultural
organizations It has neither dues nor
salaries. 1t is welded to eternal pov-
erty.-- 1t Is strictly non-political and
ncnrpartisan. Hence 1t offers little to
attract the demagogue or broken-down
politfian. 1t does not seek to form a
new y5fty, but to work through exist
ing organizations. Its officers say:
THE bankers and butchers, the bar
beers and bakers meet in organizations
to further their interests without quar-
reling about the tariff or trying to
make new political party; why should
not the farm ers be able to do the same
thing?" The American Agriculturist
says that ''the Farmers National con-
gress has always asserted its non-par-
ttsan, non-political character, and has
made its assertion good. To this is
doubtless owing its great influence
with law-making bodies Senator
Gordon says that 1t has more influence
with congress than all other agricul-
tural organizations combined. AS the
Indiana Farmer says; Legislators
often declare that they are ready to
legislate for the farmers II they know
what the farmers want, and they seem
ready to take the resolutions adopted
by this body as representing the wishes
of farmers.
AS not all Of the foreign governments
have yet appointed delegates, and as

OF the largest farmers of the country
and for eight years secretary of the
congress; vice president, Maj, G. M
Ryals, of Georgia, one of the largest
truck farmers in the south; secretary
John NJ Stahl, of Chicago, the leading
agricultural writer of the country; as
sistant secretary, Col. W. G. WILDLY, OF
Atlanta, an old newspaper man and
successful planter.
The Farmers Cali said of the last
meeting of the congress-: 'The dele
gates came from Montana to Florida
and Texas to Maine. Such body Of
men, coming such long distances, and
pledged against political action, must
be in dead earnest and have the true
interests of the agricultural classes at
heart No political or financial advan.
tage could come from attendance as
the meeting, hence the delegates were
perforce actuated by patriotic motives,
and it is no surprise that the delibera-
tions Of the congress were character
lied by high tone and distinguished
by lofty motives" 1t is hoped and an
ticipated that the approaching meeting
will justify as high praise and, in the
language of the Atlanta Journal,
"mark the beginning of new era in
the history of agriculture"

II wa: ANY Kind That Was Necessary for
the Occasion.
In the "Reminiscences of an Emil
grant Milesian" is the following Gu
rious anecdote: Stack, formerly of
Washes regiment, was among the off,
GERS of the Irish brigade who went on
half-pay at its dissolution. He had re-
NAMED on half-pay so long that he be-
came the Oldest colonel in the army
He obtained his promotion to the rank
of major-general after a somewhat
curious interview with the duke of York,
the commander in chief at that time.
Having solicited the honor of an audi
ence of his royal highness, he received
an intimation that the duke would re-
ceive him at the horse guards next day.
He was punctual in his attendance, and
being introduced TO the commander in
chief was honored by the customary
question:
. "Wel, colonel, what can I do for
your 3}ita@
II perceive, sir, replied Stack, shat
there is a brevet coming opt. in which
hope to be included. am the senior
colonel in his majesty's service"
7 "True, Col Stack; but give me leave
to ask you of what religion you arep"
~ am of the religion of a major
general"
The duke bowed, and Stack was

Petr,aed Oysters.
gazetted

A bed of petrified oysters has been
found on the top of Big mountain, just
back of Forkston, Wyoming county,
Pa. Some of the specimens are of
mammoth size, one in Mr. Reynolds
possession measuring twenty-five inches
long by nine inches wide and weighing
forty pounds. The specimens range in
all sizes, from this down to the ordinary
edible oysters of the present time.
Some OF the specimens show the eye of
the oyster perfectly, and in all of them
the, meat is easily removed from the
shell. The bed seems to be confined to
small mound, resting on small plat
eau, at the extreme top of the noun
tain, near the Sullivan county line.

WOMEN SAILING SHIPS.
striking Illustrations of Their Capabili-
ties In the Seafaring Line.

Sns Atustsations OF Their Capable
ties In the seafaring Line.
1t is not often that ship has been in
charge OF woman. The wife of the
captain of the Jefferson Borden took
her husbands watch occasionally when
the vessel was short handed after the
mutiny and murder of the officers. In
1869 the ship Denmark was brought
into port by the captains wife, the cap
tain himself being laid up and In
capable Of doing anything except give
advice. Another striking illustration
OF woman's capabilities in the seafar-
ing line Is afforded by the case of the
bark Rebecca Crowell, which left New
York for Buenos Ayres, but became
disabled during severe gale three
days after leaving. Several of the
spars and sails were carried away, and
the captain and FIRST mate were injured
to such an extent that they were con-
fined to their berths the rest of the
voyage and rendered unfit to manage
the vessel $50
There was no other person on board
who understood navigation except the
captains wife, and she undertook the
task OF conducting the bark to the
point of destination. The second mate
was young man twenty years old,
able to take the helm, but ignorant OF
the process of making observations.
The captains wife, therefore, as
sumed the command Of the vessel, took
observations, calculated TIE latitude
and longitude regularly, maintained
her place on the poop, and directed the
course Of the vessel. After exercising
control for ffty-eight days, during
which the vessel encountered violent
gales and shipped heavy seas, she con-
Quoted the vessel, with its valuable
cargo, safely into the port of Buenos
Ayres. In this actual impersonation of
"the sweet little angel that sits up
aloft to keep watch for the life of poor
jack" the captain of the Rebecca
Crowell was indeed fortunate in his
matrimonial venture.
