GO TO THE FARM.
. There comes a time in the life of al
most everyone who dwells in a crowded
city when he is seized with' a longing to
go back to country life. This may be
instinctive, because we came from the
earth, and we never lose our love for
the dear old mother. Cut somehow a
season of hard times always brings a re
vival of partiality for country life. As
the conditions in the city grow harder,
the longing to get out on the farm inten
Bifies. Possibly we can find an explan
ation for this in an interview recently
published in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
That paper has been interviewing some'
of the prosperous farmers of Minnesota
on the subject of national and home
affairs, and from them we extract the
following:
"A prosperous and intelligent farmer
was discussing the events of the last
year; the financial panic,' the unexam
pled business depression, the industrial
unrest and the progress of a rebellion
against the government, which, if not
arrested, would have ended in civil war.
'Well,' he said, as he rose to go, 'I am
going back to my farm and let the old
world go its one gait. I am happy
there. Nothing disturbs me. In the
worst yearsj.that can come I will have
plenty to support my family. I will
have my books and papers and know
what is going on outside, but I am eafe.
Panics and trade revulsions do not af
fect me at all, and even a revolution
would hardly disturb me in my quiet
nook.' "
There is our dream of Utopia. The
land of promise is where the corn tassels
wave and the golden wheat fields sing a
song of plenty. It is the independence
of farm life that makes it peculiarly at
, tractive in times when bankers mer
chants, manufacturers, professional men
and all those who dwell in the over
crowded cities are barely holding on by
the ekin of their teeth, and know not
what tiie next day may bring forth. As
a rule, the farmer never becomes a mil
lionaire, and he is deprived of many of
the so-called luxuries of city life. But,
after all," he has the best, of it. He has
within his own domain all the resources
of material happiness. His is a toil
some life, but life without struggle
would be worthless. His compensation
is the independence lie enjoys, and,
with industry and frugality, absolute as
Burance ngainst want. One cause of our
present industrial trouble has been the
tendency of our young men within re
cent years to desert the farm, and flock
to the cities. They must go back to the
farm. ' They are needed there, and they
are not needed in the cities. There is
employment awaiting all the idle men
of this continent on our Western farm
ing lands. Here in Oregon there are
opportunities for millions. Telegram.
There is much that is true in the
above article ; much that is pleasant to
.think of and to dream about; much
more j pleasant indeed to treat in that
manner than to experience. The farm
er's life is in some respects independent,
but it is not all the poetic dream that
writers paint it. It is tne hardest
worked and most poorly" paid pursuit,
taking it in all its branches, that is fol
lowed by mankind. " Dreamers and
theorists paint the life of the farmer as
one of happy independence, from care,
annoyance and want. They farm in
Utopia; but in that unsentimental
world where the farmer wrestles with
climate and soil and weeds to " pluck
Jrom the earth his daily bread, the
poetry is not conspicuous.
Farming is the noblest of all occupa
tions ; the most necessary, and in many
respects the least satisfactory. That
itia eo is so much the more to the credit
of those who realizing its hardships, still
pursue it. The pensive editor drawing
a picture of peaceful homelife on the
farm, would hesitate a long while before
he would consent to even try to earn his
living that way. The case is like that
of a slave who escaped into Ohio. A
gentleman out of curiosity asked him if
he was- not treated well, and got an
affirmative answer. "Plenty to eat,
didn't you?" said he. "Yes, Bah."
"Comfortable clothing?" "Yes, Bah."
"Cared for when yon were sick?" "Yes,
sah." "So then you had good clothes,
plenty of food, light work and in fact a
very good place, then why did you
leave?" "Well, sah," said the recent
slave, '-the job am still open and, yon
can hab it." .It is bo with farming, the
pretty side of it gets into print for the
reader, the every day working side stays
at home with the farmer. He has bis
bills to meet, his troubles and annoy
ances, and perhaps in as great or greater
degree than the merchant or professional
THE EVILS OF QUACKERY.
Another 6erious obstacle to legitimate
income ia the quack medicine trade.
Quackery is medical practice comercial
ized, and therefore prostituted. It
thrives becauee the victims are in the
majority and are easily reached by lying
advertisements. "What is the propor
tion of sensible peo'ple in this crowd?"
asked a patent medicine man of a physi
cian. "About one .in ten," was the
answer. "I take the nine and leave the
one to you," said the quackl This rep
resents the majority which help turaake
the quack rich. The nostrums cost
almost nothing; but the capital is used
in advertising; in making pictures of
the idiots and feeble-minded who imag
ine themselves cured; in placarding
fences; jn defacing scenery; in publish
ing manufactured certificates ; in ridicul
ing scientific medicine; in alarming the
credulous; in claiming false discoveries;
and in vaunting impossible results. But
these are the men who make the money.
Medicine to them is the ny:kel-in-the-slot
machine. The diagnosis is ready
made to suit every need, and even other
wise sensible people are being 'educated
into quackery,- and into the belief that
every man can be his own doctor and
not have a fool for a patient. Dr. Geo.
F. Shrady.in the September Forum.
' The -outcry of persons, who not un
likely are so new to" our country that
they speak but imperfectly its language
and cannot read a clause of its constitu
tion," remarks tbe Hon. Thos. M;
Cooley. in the September Forum, "may
be enough to raise in the mind of one
who couits their fayor, doubts, real or
pretended, whether the freedom we are
supposed to enjoy is more than nora
inal."
A correspondent of tbe Prineville Re
view takes us to task for an editorial
Equib concerning the dispatches giving
much space to the announcement of the
engagement of Miss Florence Pullman to
the Prince of Isenburg-Birstein, etc.
Said correspondent asserts that we are
an anarchist because we deprecated both
the idea of an American girl marrying a
title, and the American news gatherers
for devoting so much telegraphic space
to mentioning the fact. We will wager
a small sum that said correspondent
comes from Prince Isenburg-Birstein's
country, and . has not yet become
weaned from his love and admiration
for titles, princes and potentates.
VVAh ANU WtM' KCr.
Great Martial K vents Have llt:i Ierideil
by Meteorological Conditions.
M. I'kmanJon, the meteorolog-ist in
the observatory on the summit of the
Puy le Dome, v.'ritcs in "TAstronomie"
on the importance of. devoting1 atten
tion to meteorology in connection with
military operations. lie has collected
a number of instances tending to show
how much in the crisis of a battle has
often depended on the state of the
weather, lie reminds us of the disas
ter to the allied fleets at Sebastopol by
the great storm of November 14, 1845,'
and he points out how much of the
loss then experienced could have been
averted if our present means of foretelling-
tlie approach of such storms had
been available. Subsequent inquiry
showed that for four or live days previ
ously this particular tempest had trav
ersed Europe'from northwest to south
east. The telegraph could, according
ly, have predicted its arrival at Sebas
topol, so that the fleets might have
been duly warned.
M. l'lumandon urg-es the establish
ment of a meteorolog-ieal department
to accompany a. French army on a
campaign, so that special attention
should be given, to the barometric
height, to the direction in which the
clouds are moving, and to the other
well-known elements. No doubt, as
everybody is aware, the weather pre
dictions are by no means infallible, but
the author cites, with much point, the
Napoleonic maxim.- that twenty times
a precaution may bo use-less, but that
on the twenty-first time it may mean
salvation. . '
ARAB SUPERSTITIONS.
Concerning Riimblir: Sounds Heard Near
the Red Sea.
A singular phenomenon occurs on the
borders of the Red sea, at a place called
Nakous, where intermittent under
ground sounds have been heard for un
known centuries. It , is situated at
about half ajnile's distance from the
shore, whence a long- reach of sand
ascends rapidly to a height bf three
hundred feet. , The reach is about
elg-hty feet wide and resembles an am
phitheater, being- walled in by low
rocks. The sounds coming- up from the
ground at this place recur at intervals
of about an hour. They at first re
semble a - low murmur, but ere long
there is heard a loud knocking, some
what like the strokes of a bell, and
which, at the end of about five min
utes, becomes, so strong as to agitate
the sand. -
The explanation of this curious phe
nomenon given by the Arabs is that
there is a convent' under the ground
here, and that these sounds are those
of the bell which the monks ring for
prayers. So they call it Nakous, which
means a bell. The Arabs affirm that
the noise so frightens their camels
when they hear' it as to render them
fuVious. Philosophers attribute the
sounds to suppressed volcanic; action
probably to the bubbling- of - gas or
vapors underground. . -
A. M. Bailey, a well-known citizen of
Eugene, Or., says his wife has for years
been trouble'! with chronic diarrhoea
and need many remedies with little relief
until - she tried Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and diarrhoea Remedy, which
has cured her sound and well. Give it
a trial and you will be surprised at the
prompt relief it affords. 25 and 50 cent

" Thirty-five years ago this Spring, I was
run down by harfl work aiid a successinn of

an effort for rue to walk. I consulted the
doctors, but kept sinking lower until. I had
Riven up all hope of ever being better.
Happening to be in a store, one day, where '
medicines were sold, tlie proprietor noticed
my weak and sickly appearance, and, after
a few fiuestions as to my health, recom
mended me to try Aycr's rills. 1 hail tittle

concluded, at last, to take his advice ami-try
