PA1XCRS' BOYS.
BT MRS. L. B. XDAM8.
JS o fact U mere evident among farming
Communities thfta that the boys almost uni-
torsally grow up with a distaste for farm
pursuits. No sooner are they of age than
they turn to seek for more varied if not less
laborious duties of town and city life. Thus
. agriculture is yearly robbed of what should
lie its strength and ' hope; the place these
boys should have been qualified to" fitt, and
should have filled, with tbe gathered wisdom
of experience aided by the light of progres
f ive science, are left to doubtful experiment
ers; while aged parents, deserted at a time
Tvhon filial care is most needed, can only look
Upon their loneliness and say "there must be
something wrong somewhere."
Yes; in regard to farmers' boys, there has
been 'something wrong' a great while. In
the first place, many of them never should
Lave been farmers' boys at all, at least not
: farm boys, though they may happen to have
been born upon a farm. It is not every na-
ture, even among boys, that is or can be ac
commodated to the requirements of such an
occupation, though parents are far tx apt to
think that being boys a farm is the only place
adapted te them, and the weapons best suit
ed to them in the warfare of life the shovel
and the hoc Their physical, mental, and
Intellectual peculiarities are seldom taken in
to consideration. The strong, rough nature.
the delicately organized, sensitive one, and
the one with a craving h'inger for the intel
. Jictual or scientific, are all kept together on
the farm that they may grow 'Up" and be
taught to wor-sat "oTtcmptation's way
fm. a-.t a .. ....
i yWHUir- invests them like so much capi-
vv.-f on which ha is to receive a per diem in
t rest in the improvements of his farm, and
T-orks them to tbe limit of endurance under
Sanction of a short-sighted interpretation of
" securing the greatest good to the greatest
number." The necessities of the family, it
U thought, justify the sacrifice of individu
slity. - ' -
The usual expectation Is, that when the
pecuniary ends of the farmer are accomplish
ed, or the boys grown out of his hands, they
T ill accept a portion of se many acres each,
and settle down to plod through the same
Touting with the next seneratinn. Much
scemingwisdom and parental affection is thus
manifested; but the wisdom too often proves
unwise, and the affection only a mistaken
iurm of well-developed selfishness.
The possibility is that out of a family of
three or five one may fulfil tbe desire of anx
ius parents, accept the acres, and with the
homestead in prospect, . settle down to the
stay of their old age ; but the greater proba
bility is, that as soon as legally free, Nature
will assert her claims in each, and they will
go out into the world seeking for the life that
should have been theirs through early years
of preparation for it J but having been cheat
ed of their preparation, neither tbe world
nor parents need wonder if they come forth
Hi-developed, discontented spirits, .seeking
their places and finding them not.
. As farming has heretofore been considered
a business that any Ignoramus might engage
in successfully, it has not been thought nec-
er sery to lighten or brighten the labors of the
term by any rays of science or gleams of in
telligence from the world of thought and ac
tion without. Work was the one thing
wanted from sun-rise till bed time, and the
physical nature, often over-wrought, bad
neither strength nor sympathy to give to the
mental, which of course grew dwarfed and
distorted in the unnatural atmosphere,
Struggle against it as they might, with bits
' f candle and lighted fire brands in the chim
Bey corner, over wearied nature bas proved
Viore than a match for fancy, philosophy and
Bietaphysics; and where one boy with such
culture bas come forth a perfect man, men
tally morally and physically, nine hundred
suid ninety-nine have proved unhappy fail
ures. n
Boys on . the farm as well as in college,
have a future before them, and should be ed
ucated in reference to the place in that fu
ture which their natural abilities entitle
them to fill. Parents who do not act upon
this principle, but simply drive their boys
like horses or oxen to the plow, will find
their farm Improvements jiaid for at a dear
ite, and need not wonder at finding them
selves deserted and left to a lonely old age.
The class of farmers now fast coming
Upon the stage are beginning to learn that
they must progress with the times, tbat they
must admit science and intellect into their
fields and barn yards where they want their
boys to work, or the boys will soon grow
restless, performing their labor like so much
mere drudgery, and longing for their days
of freedom when they can go out into the
world and be like other people; and they
will go, as generations past have round to
UyqgoiTow, unless employment " given ,w
the W4s as well as to the hands. Former
ly it waJ-Bot thought necessary for farmers
to have brains at all; at least. It was not sup
posed that there was any necessity for using
them in connection with farming opera
tions. ' The main thing was to work, and
anybody with ordinary senses and two good,
alout hands could do that. It all did very
well, perhaps, in those quiet old times, when
one generation trudged on after another, ob
livious of the existence of elements in water,
earth and air, that were waiting but the
electric touch of science to make them burst
forth into the blaze of light, flash after flash
of which has startled the agricultural world
with new .developments almost numberless,
during the past ten or twenty years. ; , ',
, How obstinately,, the mass of those old
time farmers shut their eyes against the
light! They had their hands and hoes and
plows and oxen; what use had they for
.brains or braiaT work iu bocks o" pipers ?
rTLey' closed their doors against knowledge,'
and put up their bars and padlocked their
gates against any threatened innovation of
science. It was work they wanted of the
girls in the house and work they wanted of
the boys in the field. And the boys and
girls did work, but they were listening and
looking too and thinking. Listening to
the sounds of new life waking in the world
without, looking with great-longing toward
the distant arid forbidden lights, and think
ing, not as they should have been taught to
do, bow they might kindle new fires on their
own hearth-stones; not how they might open
the gates of prejudice to let in some thing of
tbe life that to tempted thorn from without;
but only of the day when they should be le
gally free from parental control, and at lib
erty to turn their backs upon the old home
stead and the monotonous drudgery of farm
life, together and forever.
: This has been what thousands of farmers'
sons and daughters have dons and is what
thousands more will do, till farmers as a
class are willing to welcome improvement,
to seek for light, and use it when tbey get it.
They are learning to do so gradually, indi
vidually. The good leaven thrust into the
old meal tubs by diligent and earnest think
ers, is working and spreading. Hen see,
thai tmly in the light oi science can labor,
such as farms require, be made attractive
and elevating. It is true, men and boys can
dig and plow and sow and reap in the old
fashioned manner, and make a living at it;
but the further behind the times they are,
the more frequent will be tbe desertion from
their ranks by the young and strong, who
bend: toward' the excitement of change and
improvement as young plants bend toward
the light of day. Changes, innovations im
provements are going on every where else;
why not in tbe fields and household of the
farmer as well.
VXCI.K SILAS MIYIJIO BEES.
What He Exsected anal What He Didn't.
The old gentleman's name is Silas, and
that of bis eldest son is George; his wife's
name is Matilda, and bis three pretty daugh
ters are named Helen, Alice and Susie;
there is little Silas, too, and another boy
whose name is too queer to mention.' 'T
The bees had alighted in a great bunch Jas
large as a half-bushel measure, on the limb
of a peach tree in the yard. A table is
placed under the over-banging limb, spread
with a clean white cloth, and tbe hive placed
thereon t " ;f ... r-;
' Then one of the Soys, one tbat is good for
nothing else, is sent into the tree to sever the
limb; the limb comes down slowly and easi
ly, and the old gent below, dressed in a great
coat, buckskin gloves, cowhide boots, and a
bed quilt tied around his neck and face, sly
ly manipulates a twig from the tree, and in
two minutes time has safely coaxed every
bee into the hive, during all of which time
Matilda and Helen and Alice and Susie
pound the bottom out of just four tin pans;
little Silas does his prettiest while yelling,
the boy with the queer name is just old
enough to slip behind the house and wait
for the thing to come to a point. That is the
way. the thing should have come off; but
that isn't the way it did. Silas, the elder,
was very comfortably bundled up for so
warm a day, and had his suit well arranged,
only be forgot to tie the strings at the bottom
of his pants.
The bees had settled on the limb of a
peach tree, and Silas, when his table and
white cloth and hive were all ready, com
manded: "Now George, grab that old rusty saw and
climb; I guess you can cut that small branch
easy enough." j
.George was just home from a six month's
term of school, and he felt a great tenderness
for bis father and would have gone through
a patch of thistles to plpasi tbe old gent, and
yet ho bad a particular dread Tor tbe "bugi
ness end" of a bee, and particularly Such a
crowd of them. .. But he obeyed, and began
to saw away cautiously upon the particular
limb. One little buneh of bees droppped oil
and were caged; another and another small
onnch dropped, and the prospect seemed
good, when suddenly an old honey maker
appeard, who had been in the business, and
soared upward, ueorge shut up one eye
quick, gave one terrific surge on tbe old rus
ty saw, got out of that tree at one jump,
and his anxious mother caught a glimpse of
him as ho flew around the corner of the barn
twenty rods away.
But poor old Silas! The bees came down
and he thought the bunch was as big as a
hay-stack. They did not go. into the hive,
but they went through his overcoat and quilt
as if these bad been only mosquito bars, and
they climed up the legs of his pants, and the
gent danced as he never danced before; and
he slapped his legs as be never allowed any
one else to slap them, and bis voice towered
high above the clatter of the tin pans and
the shrieks of little Silas, as he yelled;
"Throw water on me! throw water on me!
soak me, wet me down! "
v He rolled over in the grass three or four
imes, and sprang up shouting, "slap me
slsp me! can't you slap me? In the midst
of which tittle Silas crept up behind his in
furiated papa and dealt him a lively one with
the shingle; but poor little Silas landed the
next moment against the milk-house, for bis
pa took btm and his shingle for a thousand
J bees, and gently brushed them off.
He appealed to his wife
' Matilda, for mercy sake bring me ano
ther pair of pants, wont you?"
But these things don't last always nor any
other happiness, and after a few minnles the
old gent came limping out of the cellar with
the pants on that Matilda brought him, leel
ing much easier, but certainly much fatigued
just as George got back from the barn and
the boy with the queer name slipped around
the cornor or the house, Uoth boys were
anxious to know how matters stood, and
asked:
"Did you get 'em hived, pa ?"
But the old man was too mad to answer,
or even look at his boys. He turned to little
Silas and said:
"Little one you meant all right, and I'm
sorry I cuffed you so; next time don't slap so
hard."
Then to his wife, "Matilda to you I owe
everything. Accept my heartfelt gratitude,
We'll take no more stock in bees. I have
made up my mind and it is settled. May
our quiet, peaceful farm home never be so
stirred up again. Seems to me I never had
so much of life crowded into a few short
minutes before. Bun after the cows now,
boys; be off, for it's almost dark."
Observes.

50W THE KXrEMPBISS EECWVBD THE NEWS
of the death, of hzb soxif
Camden; House, CLlseTlnrat, 'always
somewhat, gloomy and doleful in appear
ance, had ?arly yesterday afternoon re
aasnmed the more mournful appearance
which it had worn nearly seven years
ago, when the Emperor died. Now, as
then, the blinds were closely drawn; po
lice slowly pacing backward and forward
in front of the entrance repelled the cu
riosity of -strangers. Carriages filled
with friends arrived at the gates, and
Lubes and gentlemen attired in black,
first of all signing their names tn a book
at the lodge, passed up the dark avenue
of trees to offer their syjtnpathy to the in
mates of tho house beyond. It was not
difficult to see, even long before Chisel
hurst was sighted, that many of the pas
sengers in the train from London were
members of the great - Bonapartist party
which had just lost j its head. Little
groups of Frenchmen clad in black,
Spaniards who remembered the nation
ality of the Empress Eugenie, attaches
of embassies, representatives of royalty,
were all to be seen ere the train drew up
at tha well-known station. Passing by
twos and threes into the house they had
been received ,by the Due de Bassano,
expressed to him their sense of sorrow,
and so departed. At length it came to
my turn to &tei, and passing through
the curious panel doer which opens into
tbe reception room of Camden Place, I
found the imo de iiassano waiting to re
ceive me. ,v , 'm : ,. j.'
As he read the telegraphic dispatch
which told of the Prince's death and the
finding of the body, he nearly gave way
to the intensity oi his feelings, protest
ing the while that he had no part in the
voyage which had terminated so fatally,
and that, indeed, it had been undertaken
against the advice and wish of all the
Prince's friends. "But he was so ar
dent, so courageous, and such a capital
horseman," His Grace continued, taking
apparent pride in this last accomplish
ment of his youthful chief , "he was so
anxious to be with his comrades of Wool
wich, and to share their dangers that
nothing would persuade him to give up
the enterprise. The Empress," the Due
remarked, " learned the news in fact by
an accident last night. Some friend of
M. Pietri, hearing the disaster which had
befallen the Prince, wrote him a letter
which he sent by rail, warning him to
prepare for sad, and, indeed, painful in
telligence. Somehow or other, the Em
press opened this letter, and although
unable exactly to-comprehend its im
port, feared unhappy tidings. She knew
her son had been ill, and she naturally
dreaded that he had been worse. How
ever, no more intelligence came until
this morning, when Lord Sydney, who
had received a message from Lady Frere,
and also a command of the Queen, came
round to communicate tho terrible news
to the Empress, together with the ex
pressions of Her Majesty's sympathy. 1
received him, and upan me the duty de
volved of breaking the news. I asked
permission to see the Empress", who no
ticing probably the expression of my
countenance that I was greatly troubled,
begged at once to know all I had to tell
her. I said, 'Madame, the Prince is very
ill, ; more dangerously than .he was
when we last' heard.' Immediately Her
Majesty exclaimed, 'I will go to him; I
must go,' to which I replied nothing and
retired. A quarter of an hour elapsed,
and then I returned to her. I told her
that further news had come, which made
the aspect of affairs still graver. She
cried out, I will go at once, where is he?
To which I replied, 'It is too late, mad-
anie,' on hearing which Her Majesty
burst into a flood of tears, exclaiming,
'Man tils, mon pauvre Jils,' and I left
her." . -
Passing through tho outer hall as I en
tered was General Sir Dighton Probyn,
who had brought a message of condo
lence from' the Prince and Princess of
Wales, In that same hall it had been
my lot, tue last time out one that I saw
the now deceased Prince, to see him lead
his weeping mother into a somewhat has
tily-improvised court of her faithful ad
herents, on the death of Napoleon III.
The apartment had been draped in black
even the pictures had been covered with
somber-coloreu cloth; the Uonapartists,
ladies and men, stood around in solemn
silence, waiting till the Empress should
come. Presently there was a rustle as of
silk, and then appeared the young Louis
JNapoleon with his mother s hand in his.
A deep obeisance was being made by all
there were ladies who reverently courte
sied as they kissed the Imperial widow's
hand, and the rest were waiting to offer
their expressions of fealty, when they,
overcome by her feelings, rushed for
ward, and, embracing the youthful
Jfrince, kissed him on both cheeks and
quicklv retired.
I quitted the hall and went across the
common forthwith to the place where the
remains of .Napoleon 111. lay. There,
as in the old days, the Bev. Father God
dard still rules, the faithful and trusted
counselor of the Imperial house. He
had been, as was to be expected of one
under whose religious care the Prince
had been brought up, terribly shocked
bv the sad news, vet to him there came
also some comfort in the remembrance of
the fact that, no matter how busily occu
pied, the Prince never forgot the obliga
tions of the church. "I remember,'
says the goou Abbe, that . just as
his Imperial Highness was going
away to Zululand, I wrote to
him reminding him of the duties which
the Church imposed at that season of the
year, and begging him to remember
these, even though he might be other
wise busily, engaged. His letter to me
was one I shall never forget. He ex
pressed some surprise at my having
thought that he could by any possibility
be unmindful of tbe calls of the Church,
and next morning on the day of his de
parture he came round to me, con
fussed, took the Holy Sacrament shortly
after 7 o'clock, and kissing his father s
tomb departed. I think that the chain
round his neck bore a scapula and a
piece of the wood of the True Cross.
There was a locket attached to it, too,
but for the rest I cannot speak with cer
tainty. All I know is that he left with
every expression of religious and happy
confidence, .He did not once think of
tbe danger which might come to him.
His whole mind was set upon going.
Some endeavored to dissuade him from
the enterprise, but he insisted upon car
rying it out, and I do not think that even
the command of his nearest friends to
stay at home would have weighed with
him. Several times after he went away
he wrote home the most charming let
ters, all full of hopefulness. And it is
strange that only this very morning a
letter was received from an officer named
Bigg, a friend of the Prince, saying how
splendidly ho behaved, how glad they all
were to have him there, and how careful
they would be that no harm should come
to him. Speaking of the Empress,
Father Goddard remarked that, on. learn
ing the news from the morning papers,
he went to Camden place, and there
found that the Empress had been already
informed of her terrible loss. " She had
almost lost her senses," said the rever
end gentleman a statement which was
otherwise unhappily borne out.
Stepping to the Chapel of St. Mary I
noticed that the outer prie ateu oi the
three that stood on the left front of the
altar had been already , draped with
black. When last I was in the Church it
was the center one that woro the dark
cloth; the Empress sat in the left and the
Prince in that which to-day bears the
emblem of mourning. The Emperor's
trrand marble sarcophagus, ' offered," as
the inscription runs, by Victoria ltegina
to the Empress Eugenie, and underneath
which is the wreath which the Queen
herself placed there on the first of the
two visits which Her Majesty has paid to
the tomb, was surmounted by wreaths of
immortelles ana vjoiets ana-many an
other souvenir,. Over it floated the ban
ner of Napoleon, Knight flf the Garter,
and the Tri-color of France; at the head
was a little altar, at which on the 9th of
each month mass is said for the repose of
the Emperor's soul. f ' I do not quite see
where we can place the body of the poor
Prince, which cannot, however, arrive
here before July 10th," said Father God
dard, "unless we put it in the little
recess which is at the foot of his father's
grave. i - -f
; . . AXOTHEB ACCOTOT, ,
Amonc the letters brought to the Em.
press by tho last South African mail was
one bearing tbe Cape postmark, from a
Mr. Biggs, an old classmate of the Prince.
It was a cherry, joyous letter, brimful
of high spirits, and told all of the little
adventures of the Prince Imperial and
his friends, ojf their manner of rough-;
ing it"iu the field, and what they
thought of the country and the enemy,
and of their hopes of a speedy and glori
ous end to the campaign. .Happily bad
Her, Majesty laid - down this pleasant
epistle when she perceived a note ad
dressed to M. Pietri, whs- is at present
on the continent. It was from a friend
in London, and spoke of " cetle horrible
nouveCle" from Zululand, and alto
gether was couched in tones of the deep
est grief. ''
; . BBBAKISa THE NEWS. . :-?
" Tbe Empress was alarmed and could
not understand it; Bhe sent for the Duke
de Bassano and asked him what it all
meant, what could this horrible news
from Zululand be ? ' Alas' says the
Standard, ' the Duke only knew too
well, and it required all his firmness of
mind to cloak nis own sadness from his
august mistress.' r It must concern us,'
said the Empress, ' for he offers us his
condolence.' The Duke spoke of some
new disasters to the troops and did his
best to postpone the blow; but the Em
press, with the intuition of motherly
fondness, saw through the thin disguise
and cried that something must have hap-
I pened to her son and that she would go

child? The Duke faltered and made
some excuse to escape before his emo-
J .tion betrayed him. Lord Sidney had ar
rived oeiow in tue meantime, and naa
confirmed the painful tidings. After a
brief interval the Empress again sum
moned the Duke; she affected to be com-
Eosed, and insisted that he should tell
erall, that she was prepared for the
worst, and that, if necessary, she would
join the Prince Imperial by the next
steamer. 4 Jlelmf Madatne,' said the

Her Imperial Majesty had got over the

The Olympia Transcript publishes a let
ter of July 7th, containing the following
interesting items:
Every week brings new arrivals from
Kansas to tbe Chehalls valley. Those who
come expecting to find a country where
they can make a living and build up com
fo ruble homes by good honest labor are
pleased with tbe country ; while those
who are expecting to find farms with all
the modern improvements, and a govern
ment mule thrown in, are usually disap
pointed, and long to return to tbe land
flowing with grasshoppers, tornadoes and
ague. The great misfortune with this
country seems to be, tbat counting labor at
30 per month, it costs $25 to prepare an
acre of government land to receive the first
crop, which is not worth more than S40
when harvested. It is also sad to think
that the most prolific crop of cucum
bers and sunshine will fail to bring a good
shake of ague. The most of the new
comers have found shelter for their fami
lies are prospecting tbe counry for "claims"
and a large majority of them are more
than pleased with the prospect.
Notwithstanding the backwardness of
the season, a larger breadth of grain was
sown than usual, which bids far to make a
good crop. The hay crop which is always
good here is usually so now, and in a few
days the music of tho mower will be
heard in all directions.

He bad a long string and a brass key
tied to it, which he said was tbe Ins
trument of torture. Over the front side
walk a maple sent some pretty strong
branches, making a seat bidden by leaves.
Into this, after dark, the boys climbed,
"Now wait," said the principal, " till tbe
first victim comes and don't make a noise."
Pretty soon an ordinary dressed woman
came along, and just as she passed he let
the key drop on tbe bard sidewalk, imme
diately pulling it up again. Both now
watched developments. The woman came
to a sudden stop, began fumbling in ber
pocket and wondering what she could
have d roped. She started on, but bad not
gone far before she came baqk, impelled
by curiosity, and began a careful search
of the walk. Meantime tbe boys In tbe tree
had stuffed their fists in their mouths to
keep from scaring the game, and dared
hardly look below for fear Of laughing out.
A sympathetic sister came along, and to
gether they picked up stones and turned
over all the chips on the sidewalk. No
money, no key, nothing did tbey find, and
so went on to their homes, perhaps to wor
ry all night; or perhaps a giggle in the
tree turned their looks of disappointment
to a cheap smile, and a laugh from the
same place made them have awful wicked
thoughts about boys. The trick is harm
less; no one breaks a leg or loses an eye in
its process. It might be recommended to
constitutionally tired boys as a good way
to sweep the walk. The victims will
throw all chips and stones into the street
by curiosity power as it were.

black crape, but also white crape.
Ladies carry small silk-velvet reticule
purses, mounted in solid silver, and em
bellished with the owner's monogram.
Fans of brocade silk and Pekin are
made to order to match costumes. They

gendarme blue, narcisse yellow, salmon
or very pale Nile green.
Embroidered satin vest are imported

A few of our most stylish ladies are
wearing the large, tall, square combs of
our grandmothers. Puffs of hair are set
on the inside of comb, with the back-hair
combed up perfectly straight and smooth,
Corsages are most varied in detail,
scarcely any two beintr made alike. Thn
only settled fact is that all basques are
shorter, except tnose that are cut m En
glish coat shape, to serve as a street gar
ment without an extra wrapping.
Dotted and sprigged muslin costumes
are among the most popular of present
consideration. Tuey are made short, and
en demi-train, and trimmed with very
sheer Hamburg embroidered insertion
and edging, Torchon and Bretonne laces,
Plain Swiss and French organdy mus
lins are made with the tablier from the

It is said that the prettiest bonnet worn
at the opening of the Paris Salon was a
Diana Vernon, with a low crown and
wide brim, and trimmed with well curled
black feathers and an ornament of pea

side.
Satin is decidedly in the fashion, and.
to recover lost time, it is worn even in
summer, while formerly it was reserved
for the winter alone. It is used for bon
nets : when the bonnet iu of straw, the
facing is of satin, like the trimming on
summer dresses.
Although fashion is no longer exclu
sive, it still has its preferences. After
adopting dark red, such as earoubier
and garnet for the last six months, it is
at present devoted to all the shades of
blue which are not pure, but partake of
gray or green, such as gendarme and pea?
cock blue.
If we are to judge of the future by the
present, it may be predicted that dresses
will lie simplified and disengaged from
the indescribable draperies and trim
mings with which they have been so long
overloaded. This will not be accom
plished all at once, but we are gradually
approaching this desirable end.
One of the handsomest costumes worn
during the spring is of gendarme blue
camel's-hair with silk of the same shade,
and Scotch plaid satin in which a great
deal of old gold enters. The camel's
hair waist is round, with standing collar,
plastron, revers, and wide belt of the
plaid satin, and to this belt is attached a
flat bag, also of satin.

Published statistics show that tbe move
ment for the reduction in output is spreading
in the cotton districts. In addition to the
depression at Blackburn and Oldham already
reported, 450,000 spindles at Preston are
also stopped, out of an aggregate of 2,000,000.
One quarter of the looms at Preston are also
stopped. At Accrington work is very irregu
lar, particularly in the weaving department.
Six thousand eight hundred spindles are idle
in two mills, besides numerous stoppages. In
Leigh district 123,000 spindles are working on
short time, and 140,000 have stopped alto
gether. In Hashnden district 74,000 spindles
and 1,100 looms are idle. .

and with bat few exceptions belong en
tirely to the class of helminths or worjns.
Animal parasites form in fact a sort of
sub-fauna, and their number is only to
be estimated by the extent of the animal
kingdom. The presence of helminths or
worms in mankind is alarmingly banefnl
and prevalent, and their existence HP,til
recently was so little teown, iia many
persons have died irom this cause who
were treated for some other ailments.
Indeed it is only within a few years that
heminthology has attained to the position
of a true science, and chiefly through the
labors of a few observers in Germany.

will be seen the result of a competitive
trial of self-binders, at Tangent, linn

Oranges of Patrons of Husbandry repre
sented by one delegate from each Orange,
who constituted the committee of judges
and whose decision was unanimously in
favor of the Osborne Self -Binder for
superiority of work. These machines
have many valuable improvements for
1879, which make them absolntely per

contest were the Osborne, Wood and

What the Bank Dibectobs sat. At a
meeting held a day or two since of var
ious bank directors of Portland, the
question arose as to what was the reason
of the increase of their deposits. A
shrewd director solved the question by
saying; that heretofore the people had
been compelled to pay 25 cents for lunch,
but since the opening of the now famous
Pine Street Coffee House in Portland
tbey had been enabled to save 15 cents
on each lunch, and by this arrangement
they were enabled to make both ends
meet, and put the extra money to their
credit in the various banks.
