A Leaden disjmtch ef the Hh uH. nya: A number ef very alarming and Mmsatknal reperk have been reeetved here during the kt few days, repeeting the industrial and Maaneial eoaditien of Kmc land. The

wages ef miners and operatives in all mules have been rediteed te what the men eenider tbe lowest living point, but the masters say they can net go on wittfeut a still further reduction, and seareely see their way to going on even with a reduction. Great uneasiness exkts afce among the tenant farmers, who are inding it almost Impossible te pay their rests, and to keep out ef debt. The stoppage ef the export trade te Anteriea and the great influx of Americas produce into England increases the ditNeulties of the situation. The people in England throws out of work are less able to buy feed, and the farmers And themselves eenf rented ia their own markets with cheaper American meat and grain. The f ature k looked upon as gloomy in the extreme. Private sttd commercial dispatches from Calcutta assert that the Kritkh successes in Afghanistan are not altogether so decisive as is represented ia Government dispatehes la ether words, it k more than hinted that the true state of affairs is studiously concealed from the Kritkh public and that much of what is given oat for news is little less than a flagrant misrepresentation of facts. Forinstaace.the reported flight of the Ameer and the surrender of his son, Yakoob Khan, to the British forces at Jellalabad, are now contradicted, ami in explanation it is said that the Ameer has carried oa a systematic process of deception, and has caused false reports concerning his movements to be sent te headquarters. This, in connection wHhtae news that the troops in Khyber Pass have been attacked by a large force of Afrsedeet, who were only repulsed after hard flghting, naturally causes some apprehension in England that the war may not be so speedily terminated as was recently asanticipated. A riot recently occurred at Kieff, Russia, caused by the students holding a public meeting to protest against the closing of the University. Two companies of loeal militia were ordered to disperse the meeting; the students held their ground, and a serious tight oeeurred, in which SO persons are said to have been killed or woHHded. A cavalry company anally cleared the square and rerestored order. Simikr riots, on a smaller scale, occurred In other "University towns. Mmy students have been arrested, and the Government threatens to declare martial Uw. OENKKAl.. The New York Produce Exchange hasad-

Shakesperaan readings' "mornings with the poets," etc., are the names given at present to certain informal and charming entertainments much appre

ciates oj tnose woo nave tne let-ure to devote to suoh affairs. Nobody can doubt that an accomplished reader may make such opportunities both agreeable and profitable, for the difference between written and spoken eloquence k very great so great, in fact, that to read with any pretensions to correctness of emphasis, clearness of interpretation, ana attractive manner, the reader must have studied long and well. Tbe world has endured much from public speakers as well as from professional readers, and nany an instance of wicked hilarity in chureh baa been provoked by the solemn ocoupant of the pulpit. It is satd that tbe cultivated John Randolph corrected the pronunciation of the good man who ministered unto him in his l&st hours, bat a person lass sensitive ami eceentric might criticise the clergyman who gave out a hymn as follows : He takes younic children in his arms, . And 1M bk besom tam.

So much for a style of recitation which atone period of literary cultivation was called melodious, and which consisted in 41 slowing up," as they say in railroad parlance, oh the last line, ami lingering

I wuu a kidu oi pataiui procrastination j upon the final word. In view of the ter

rible mangling which have taken place, and the fine productions which have been actually slaughtered upon that step which divides the sublime from the ridiculous, one might say that " a little reading is a dangerous thing," and thoe who can not read well would be yvm to turn thtr attention to something which thfy could execute with kss pain to an audience. Happy ThHHght. He is a good man indeed who does all the good he talks of. It is posiblo for a man to know his own mind and yet know very little. It is perfectly safe to have some men owe you a grudge, for they never pay any thing. It does not follow that a blacksmith has no virtues because he is always to be found at his vise.

J It ia a good proverb which says that i every man hath hk cricket ia hk head

aad rae it sing as he pleases. The vain man is, after all, the happiest. While the rest of us are trying to please others ke is perfectly satisfied if he only plea-sea hirurelf. A man seldom finds out that the Bible is not true until he discovers that his course of life k condemned by it.

We offer a few directions to partios shipping roll butter which, if followed, will servo to enable parties interested in obtaining the best market prices. A practice that should be abolished by country shippers is that of working low grades of packed into roll, and packing them in with freshmado roll, with the intention of palming it all off as fresh-made. This deception is always detected, and such lota arc invariably sold at same prices that low grades of packed command. Care should be taken in packing; country shippers and dealers are in the practice of sending roll butter to this market in barrels, pine boxes, etc. The above named packages should be entirely

avoided. New tubs or hard wood boxes

water.

No plants give more satisfaction in window oulture than the Holland Bulbs. Hyacinths and the Polyanthus Narcissus are the most popular, becau.v, besides their right colors, the; are delight fully fragrant. Tulip, Crocuses, etc., are showy, but lack odor. Bulbs may be grown in sand, moss, sponge, or in water, but such Methods aro merely fanciful, and do not give a. strong bioom like those in rich soil in pots. Equal parts of good garden soil, old cowmanurt1, and sand, will givu a good mixture. Pot the bulbs at once it should have been done last month aad set in a dark cellar until roots are formed. "Waoom WiiEKLd. The general farmwagon has large hind-wheels and small fore-wheels say the hind-wheels about four and a half to live feet in diameter, and tho foro-wneels about three and a half to four feet in diameter. This form and size of wheel has been in use so long and so generally that they have come to be regarded as a standard or necessity, and these sizes are continued without a question whether any other sizes would be better or not. We prosume that the size of the fore-wheol has been suggested and adopted on account of placing the draft about on the line with tho shoulder of the common-sized horse, and that the hind-whodl has been made larger on account of the greater ease with which it is rolled over obstacles. Those considerations, it will be seen, relate wholly to the quosttan of draft, and

are the most desirable, while half bar-1 leave out of sight all other constdcrarols or kers will do equally as well, and tions. These sizes for tho farm wagon

Tho question of lifting, therefore, becomes one of more importance than draught, especially when wo consider that the lifting is done by man and the drawing by horse or othurfarm animal. We are sure if farmers were generally to have the hind-wheels of their farmwagons made about the same size as the fore-wheels are now mado they would find tho farm-wagon much more convenient, and really a much greater laborsaving machine. We would also suggest that if they would have tires made from two to two and a half inches wide according to thu condition or composition of their land, they would find this

fa very important improvement, it

would compensate for the los in easy moving on large wheels, and would be a decided improvement in wet weather, both in tho case of running of the wagon and in avoiding cutting- up tho soil.
