_ . Are There Too Many Farmers? Just now there happens to be too smach of almost everything that is yreduced by human labor, so says the % ywogican Agriculturist. There is too -saach coal mined; the furnaces turn st too much iron; oo much cotton ‘ a 1 woolen cleths are woven; too .sach Jeather is made, and curiously ~uough, many people are complaining I%at there has been too much money made: indeed, some go so far as to declare that excess in the manufaeture of paper dollars is the very reason | why there seems too be much of everyihing produced by labor. The farmer i~ no exception. He bas too much o beat and corn, or at least there is so~much of it to be sold that he cannot =1 a satisfactory price for his proance. , It is the same with. fruit, vegf; «tabies, cheese, batter and beet ; pork “emly seems to be a single exception.— ire there, then, too many farmers, as some people think? If so, it wohld s—em that there are tOO many miners, . spiuners, weavers, tanners, builders, carpenters, merchants, clerks and tamvers, as well; for all these people are complaining that their business

is as bad or worse than the farmers declare theirs to be. 1t can hardly be " the case that there are too many people in the world. If there were too many of ail otber classes than farm- - ers,one might well .suppose that, as farmers are needed to supply others with food and material for 'clot,hi‘ng, Ihere would be more customers to parchase their produce, and that their uwamber might be safely increased.— “The sapposition that there aré too many farmers may be abandéned as ‘unfounded. Ev'ery . farnier, who should leave his farm and go into other ~ vusiness, would find-a worse state of © shings than hLe is}endeavoring to leave. I% ane shoujd sell his farm, amditry to invest his money at inter-- * est, ke would find that there are too amany¥ at that business also, and that safeland prol‘ntab]e«investments are as dithenlt to find' as high prices for ;. wheat and corn. Under thé present idmporary condition of. things, ‘the farmers are the only class of veople that are not too numerous. - When .- their business happens to be poorer - . than usual, tliey do not find themselves suddenly discharged- without | wages, o starve or subsist upon their smre\l':(mgl'led for such a “rainy. day.’’ 11 the conlrary, the farmer has’or he mav always have, sufliciency of the uecessaries of life and most of . its somforts, and although he may not - “tave much nioney passing through #is hands, or be able to spend much - “in luxuries, yet his position is so vast- - Ir bétter than that of any other class - of workers, that these naturally seek © to become farmers, when their own - Lusigess fails or times Become hard. We have now efore us numerous letters from persons who have hither-to-werked in factories, or at 'various , irades, asking how they may invest their savings in a farm or garden - tract, and become independent of a - manner of life that is full of “ups and downs,” and serious reverses which ~ they believe a farmer’s life free from, - The fact is, few of us' “see ourselves ~as others see us,” and| we are apt to - ook too much on the dark side of our . ' own affairs. and the bright side of . ‘other people’s, instead of the reverse. - It would mnjakea great difference in . | ~our ideas of tljings, if farmers were to do this, and there would be fewer of . them inclined to think or believe that _ihere were too many of them in our zountry. As a curious coincidence we notice the English farmers are inclined to think there are too many in their business there, and are disinclined to pay so-high rent for their ' farms as they have hitherto’ been doing: and yet the English peeple are ~ buying over one hundred million | vushels of wheat from foreign farm- . «rs every year. Perhaps they 'think there are too many farmers here for . . their profit. It might serve their purpose doubtless, for atime, if we id not raise a bushel of wheat for export, but it could hardly better our circumstances. Qut of our populaticu there are six persons engaged in' other industries to every one engaged: ‘n farming, and this ratio is increas-’ -ing every year. Every year farmers are decreasing in proportion to the .- whole population, and, if figures speak b ibe truth, we cannot believe thit I°§;etve are too many farmers now, l when- there are relatively fewer than there bave ever been before.

- B3oovs NoT'SUITED TO THE FARM.— If the only good a boy ever did about the farm was to repair the pump, hang gates, make mole traps, put in rake teeth, file the saw, and iang the grindstone, and he did these ihings well, obviously the farm is not the place for him—but the ‘machine shop is. If a boy will walk half a dugen miles after the day’s work is done, 1o hear a_political speech ; if he lakes m“neu"rtr‘om play to attend trials before a justice of the peace, and sits up half the night when he is going to learn declamations which will bring down the house at spelling schools, most likely he will do the world more good if you puta law book' than a wmanure fork into his hand. If he can earn more money in trading jackknives and fish lines on rainy days than"he d?a hoeing potatoes and cut--ling grain/in fair weather, give him a chance at the yard stick. Again, if a boy is skillful in skinning small auimals and stuffing small birds; if he practiced making pills of mud when he was a child, and extracted teeth from the jaws of dead horses with pinchers when hé got older; if he read physiology while his brothérs were deep in Robison Crusoe, he will be far more likely to' succeed with o Jancet than with a scythe. :

# Prehaps our. readers: wilkget abetter idea of the rare abiliby. displayed in the work, by perusing.a few extracts, than from any comments of ours. i . ‘

Here is a story of the race whose place we have taken,.as, Prof. Ridpath’s eloquent book tells it:

- *‘ln the matter of the arts the Imdian was a barbarian. His house was & wieéwam_ or hovel. Some poles set up in a cirele, converging at the top, covered with skins and: the branches of trees lined, and semetimes fioored with mats, a fire in the center, a low opening opposite the point from which the wind blew—such was the aboriginal.abode of North Agnerica. * x His . weapon -of ,offense- and defense was the bow and arrow, by nvineans an insighificant -or feeble instrument. - The arrow pointed with stone or iron was frequently driven ‘entirely through the pondereus buffalo. The range of tllg winged missile was two hundred yards or more, and the aim-was one of fatal accuracy when the White Man was the target. * '* ‘He painted his face and body.: specially when the passion of war was on him. with all manner of E:glamlg and fantastie colors. So the Prophetof his nation taughy him ;so he would be terrible to his enemies ; so he would exemplify the pecaliarities of his nation and be unlike the Pale face. All the higher arts were wanting.” . . . -

It has not been a very great while sinée the above would have described, faithfully, most of the civilization of our beautiful country. ‘ The following admirable extract on the condition of the colouies, is an eloquent tribute to the patriots who rebelled against the tyranny of the mothér-country, and who laid, the foundations of our present prosperity a 8 a Nation. - . - - 2t

“It was no unusual thing to find at the foot of the Virginia mountains, in the quiet precinets of Philadelphia, by the banks of the Hudson, or in the valleys of New England, a man of great'and solid learning. Such a man was Thomas Jefferson, such was Franklin, and Livingston, and the Adamses—men of profound scnolarship, bold in thought, ready with the %en, skillful in argument ; studious, witty and eloguent. . Such was the American colonies—such the people whose building nationality was now to b¢ exposed to the blast of war. ‘These people, whose ancestors were.driven into exile by the exactions of European governments and the bigotry of ecclesiastical power, had become the ri%htful proprietors of-the New World.— They had fairly won it from savage man and savage nature.. They badsubdueditand built States within it. They owned it by all the claims of actual possessiou ; by toil and trial ; by the ordeal of suffering; b)’ peril, privation and shardship ; by the baptism of sofrow,and the shedding of blood. No wonder that patriotism was the child of such travail and discipline! No wonder that the men who from mountain and sky andriver,from orchard and valley and forest, from the memories of the past, the dspirations of the present and the hopes of the tuture, had drank.in the spirit of Liberty, until their souls were pervaded with hier sublime essence—~were now ready when “the iron heel of oppression was set upon their cherished rights, to draw the vindictive sword fve‘xil y:}gainst. the venerable monarchy of Engand. ; :

What about our present prosperity ? is-the question. Here i 3 a small part of Professor Ridpath’s answer: =

“During the year 1871 there .were laid and put into operation in the United States no less than 7,670 nmiles of railroad ! There is perhaps no fact in the history-of the world which exhibits so marvelous a deyelopmentof the physical resources of a nation. Ere the mutterings of the civll war, with its untold destruction of life and treasure, had died away in the distance, the recuperative power. enterprise, and genius of the American people were révealed, asnever before,.in establishing and. extending the lines of travel and commerce.— In 1830 there were but 23 miles of railway track in the New World. In 1840 the lines in the U. S. had been extended to 2,818 miles. Ten years later there(wcre 9.021 miles of track. Accor@ing to the feports for 1860, the railroads of the country had reached the enormous extent of 30,635 miles ; and in the next ten years, embracing the tFen‘iod of the civil war, the amount was nearly doubled. Such is the triumphant power of tree institutions—the vietory of free enterprise, free industry, free thought. There stands the fact ! Let the adherents of the Old World’s methods, the .eulogists of the past, take it ztm(%.rea?l it. Wl‘{grptver the hulman raceé pants for a larger activity, a more glorious exercise ofits egqtgies,. let the story be told how the United St%tes, justemerged from the furnace of war; stnarting with wounds, and burdened with an.enormous debt, built in a single year more than twice as many miles of railroad as S?am. ridden:with her precedents of kingeraft and priesteraft, has ever built in her wliole career.” .

. /In concluding the Centennial chapter, for this history ‘comes down, absolutely, to the present, the Professor says: < - : ; ,

-*The history of the United States has.now bgen traced to a'time soreeent thatthe events té be mentioned, havenot yet beconie historical. - The Republie ha&‘lpassed through stormy times, but has come-at last to the threshold of its hundredth year in safety and Keace. The clouds that were_ recently so black overhead have broken, and are rapidly sinking behind the horizon. The fabric reared bg‘ the wisdom of the fathers still stands in undiminished’ 'ﬂor"" The. Past has taught its Lesson ; the esent has" its Duty, and the Future its Hope.” - ) : )

These short extracts can give you ‘only a faint idea of what there really i 8 in ‘A mericant Histoty, when written by a man of geniud’. This word is written to :be read. It contains 650 pages, and 'yet there .is not a sleepysentence init. It cultivates language, style, thought, and patriotism. - It would be gratifying here, to insert the whole of the concluding chapter, but the last period must suffice. “The scroll of the ceutury ﬁ rolled together. The work is dove. =~ Peace to The memory of the fathers! Green be the- graves where sleep the warriors, patriots, and sages! Calm be’ the rest-! ing place of all the brave and true!. Gentle be the summer rains op famous fields where armies . met in battle! Forgotten be the animosities and heart-burnings of the strife! Sacred be the trusts. committed to our care, and” bright the visions of the coming ages!” : !

An lfnansw’f*ér;zbl.e Argument

The strongest argument which can be urged against the advisability of administering - such corrosive - and nerve-destroying poisons as arsehic and quinine for intermiftent and remittent fevers, is the :vastly superiof ‘suiccess in the préveéntion and care of .such diseases of a medicine which is ‘the very antipode of the above named drugs, both in respect of its compesition and the results wrought by it. Such a_anedicine is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a purely vegetable ‘preparation, whieh not. only eradieates with wonderful promptitude every trace of fever and ague, and kigdred- types of malarijous diseases, from the system, but is' & certain preventive of all maladies: begotten of miasma-tainted air and water. These results mineral anti-febrile remedies do not effect with certainty, and their continued use entails 'gonseqlienceé highly pernicious te fRe system. The Bitters, on the ctontrary, not only afford speedy relief, but establish health on a ‘permanent basis. © 98-sw,

By the President of . the United States of America : , - : .. PROCLAMATION. ' Frum year to year we have been accustomed to pause in our daily pursuits and set apart-a time to offer thanks to Almighty God for special blessings He has vouchsafed to ys with our prayers for a continuance thereof. We have,t this time, equal reason to be thankful for this continued protection, and for the many material blessings which lis bounty has pestowed. In addition to these favors ‘aeccorded to us as individuals] we have special orqasion-to express our hearty thanks to Almighty God that by His providence and guidance our Government, established a century ago,has been enabled to fulfill the purpose of its founders in offering an- asylum to the people of every race, securing civil and religious liberty to all within its borders and meeting out to every indjvidual alike justice and equality before .the law. It is, moreover, especially our duty to offer our humble prayers to the Father of all mercies for a continuance of His divine favor to usa nation and as individuals by reason of all these eonsiderations. * S

Now, 1, U. S. Grant, President of the United States, do recommend to the people of the. United States to devote the 30th day of November next to an expression of their thanks and prayers to Almighty God; and laying aside their daily avecations and all secular occupations, meet at their respective places of worship and observe such day as a day of thanksgiving and rest. i ‘ln witness whereof, I have hereunto set.my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

“ HIGHER ATMS IN' JOURNALISM.— The Minneapolis 77tbune says: -No one knows better than the editors and proprietors of respectable newspapers the injurious effect upon journalism which reckless and sensational éditors haye recently wrought. There_ is a certain class of newspapers which live by this style of defamatory writing. ~ They are utterly reckless in their statqménts, have no regard for private character, no veneration for good and holy things, and no respect for “exalted virtues and pure lives. Watever will produee a sensation and sell papers they are ready and anxious to publish. But the journals of this charaecter are few. As a rule, the newspapers of to-day seek to be fair and honest, are' conscientiously conducted by men'of high character and -good standing in seciety, whose mission is to fairly an@ honestly chronicle the edrrent news of the day, and to intelligently. comment thereon. Unfortunately for respectable journalism, the public sympathizes with and desmands- the reckless: and - sensational style. - Journals which make.it a business from - day to day to assail and traduce private character; to conspicuously parade, with exaggerated head lines, all the criminal acts of the depraved classes;‘to gloat over murders and assassinations; to depict in seductive language rapes, indecent assaults and outrages of all kinds, are the journals whieh circulate with the greatest freedom among the masses. ‘The public crave sensations and it is greatly to the credit of the very large number of respectable journals that they preserve their dignity and decgncy in the tace of the temptation of sure -pecuniary’ r.eWz}rds' which await them by adopting the other course.” ~ s

- A Chinese Trick. - It appears vhat the ignorant Chi--nese, when he has.onece become a resident of this country, is not slow to pick up “Yankee tricks,” ag" the following item from a western exchange “will show: x T The Chinese, when they rent premises of white persons, pay whatever price is demanded as a monthly rent, and take the place under lease for one year. During the time the lease runs the premises become so impregnated with the oder of apiwm and vile Chinese compounds that none but Chinese cpn occupy them. When the lease rdns out, the occupants decline to pay more than one-half or twothirds of the rent.previously paid, and the landlord is forced to accept it, as he is unable to find white tenants or Chinese who will pay any more than the one who held it under the lease. e

MAKE A DISTINCTION.—One of the most frequent of small annoyances in type composition, says The TypeFounder, is the difficulty of deciding whether the initial of a man’s nameisJ or I. The antiquated custom of/using one or ,the :other, indifferently, in printing, was long ago discarded, and there is no sensible, reason why the distinction should net be made in writing. We often see the signatures of editors and printers, who of all men ought to know ‘better, where I ig written for J. ' A ltttle effort on the part of the “press gang” would soon break up the senseless fashion, and we hope they will unite in doing it.

© Walt Whiteman’s method of dealing with autograph hunters is as origenal as his poetry, and probahly rather more benefieent. He has been photographed, and with his own handshas affixed copiesto cards and written his name beneath, and when the ingenious youth or sentimental maiden sends to him for picture or signature, he returns a little printed circular declaring that “any one desiring a good photograph or, ‘autograph of Mr. Whitman can obtain both by mail on addressing a note to-the matron of the orphans’ honie at Camden—and inclosing $l.” The proceeds are entirely for the ‘benefit. of the orphans. ' Prof. Rohling, of the University of Prague, has, written a book which he calls “Antichrist and the ‘End of the World.”” His conclusion is that Antichrist may be expected in the first decade of the coming century; ‘he will be at first only'a small princelet, but afterward Sultan of the Turks, reigning in Constantinople. ' He will subdue all the West, and at length make the whole world tributary to him. Cologne cathedral will serve as one of his stables. But prior to this there will be a general European war, followed by “several days of material darkness,” during which devils are to enter in and do their work as avengers, by “strangling many enemies of the ‘church,” and this is succeeded by a period during which apostollic men are to go forth, and 144,000 Jews are to be converted.

T ] G- RS—— ioll Butter.

The following directions for packing roll butter should be followed in order to secure quick sales' and best prices:—€are should be taken in packing- and shipping; country shippers and dealers are in the practice of sending roll butter to this market in every conceivable package, including barrels, pine boxes, ect. The above named packages should.be entirely avoided, as pine will have a tendency to affect and flavor the butter, while barrels are too large and not easily handled, besides the weight crushes the roll. New tubs or hard-wood boxes. are the most desirable, while half barrels or kegs will do equally as well, and these only should be used. Care also should be taken before putting the butter in packages, that all.sides and ends of the package be lined with new white muslin, thus keeping the butter from defacemg¢nt by touching the wood. Another "bad practice is in putting the butter up in paper; this should not be done, as the paper sticks to the butter and damages the appearance.. Each roil should be separately placed in a piece of new muslin cloth, ‘washed in warm water to take out the starch, and thoroughly wet in good 'brine. The rolls should also be of moderate size and not too large. Then again, the rolls should be of uniform color, not packing the light and fresh made with another that has been colored.

‘ " An Homest Eleetion Law, A (To the Editor of the ludinnapoli‘s Journal,) Your article in the issue of November 11, on “Plan of an Honest Election Law,” is a good one, but does not meet with the requirements necessary to a safe and honest election, especially in cities ‘where repeating can be carried on. B . § ' Allow me to make a suggestion and ask if it would no* be the better plan to adopt the system now in vogue in ‘Pennsylvania—to allow no man to vote unless he can show his “taxs receipt” and his taxes paid. And to prevent repeating I 'would have each township trustee and city council to provide each precinct and ward in township and city a perpetu-ﬁ seal, with nameé of township or city, and likewise number of precinet or ward on the same: And as each voter deposits his ballot let the inspector or one of the judges stamp the voterls tax receipt, 'and under no consideration allow any one to ycte unless he produces his last tax receipt then and there. The excuse that it is lost or destroyed should be of no avail, for it is an easy matter in such a contingeney to gev a duplicate of the sume from the treasurer or collector. Such a law will save the State of Indiana thousunds of dollars annually in the publishing_ of the delinquent tax alone, -and what is-to be more desired than all else, it will give us a fair and honest election..

Another Wonderfal Shower of Flesh, [From the Chariotte (N. C,) Obgerver, Oct. 3.1 |

A gentleman ' writing from Gastonia, N. C,, under date of the 30th, gives an account of atruly wonderful occurrence. He states that a s‘}a’ower of flesh genuine, unmistakable flesh—fell in sight of Gastonia, Gaston county, on the farm of Mr. James M: Hanna. 'The circumstances, so far as they can be gathered from the letter alluded to, and from the statement of Mr. G. W. Chalk, of this . city, who visited the spot and heard the statements of those who witnessed the phenomenon, are us follows: Saturday afternoon, about three o’clock, ‘while Mr. James M. Hanna and some of his little gragdchildren were picking cotton in n_x&eld near his house, they were astonished, at the sight of small pieces of flesh falling all around them. The shower continued for some time, and when it'ceased it was discovered that the flesh was scattered over an area ot about half anjacre of ground. 'The ‘pieces varied from. a half-vunce to,.an ounce in weight, in the words of our correspondent, the ground was not covered, but, the flesh fell like light haijl.” 'ln" appearance it is described as resembling beef, part of it being filled with small 'sinews, but in no piece were bones or fatty niitter found. - When'it feil it had the appearance and odér of tresh meat, but the pieces sent ns or inspection: are almost entirely oderiess, and resemble dried beet. It may be added that the weathcr was pertectiy calm at the time of the shower, and that there has been no storm and no-heavy. wind in that section in several weeks. - The occurrence c¢reated much exeitement in the neighiborhood, and our intormant says that many persons visited the ficld and obtal Y pieces of the strange flesh. Several physicians in the neighborhood secured, portions of it with a view of eXamination, but thus far the resultegh ““—‘if~~inves-bigu-tions have not been I®ported.

B.iﬂg Worm, Tetter, Pimples and otches on the Face; Sore Eyes, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia., Fever ‘and Ague, Liver, Kidney and Urinary Diseases, Nervous Debility, Heart Disease, Fitsy Broken Down Constitutions, slx;:d ?lvery kind of Humor in the 00d. i :

Having suffered more or less for many years with Catarrh, Weaklﬁess of the Lungs, and a s¢rofulous disease which ap{:eared on my face in glmples and blotches, and after doetoring with the est physicians and tr:ying manY kinds of advertised remedies (including arsap%g a), without ﬂndm‘f any permanent cure, 1 experfinented by compoundingroots, using/the medicine thus obtained. I fortunately discovered a most wonderful Blood Scarcher or Medical Bitters, which not only gwe me great relief, but after a few weeks’ time effected & radical cure. ‘I was free from Catarrh, my lungﬁ be--came strong and sound, my appetite ﬁ:)od, and the scrofulous sores had dfsappeared. Ithen {)repated a quantity of the Root Bitters,and was in the habit of giving:them away to the sick, Ifound the medicine possessed the most wonderful healin| gvirtuelzi cffecting cures of all diseases originating from ba blood or weakness of the system, asif by magic. At last the demand became 80 great L tlgund myself called upon to supply patients with medicine far . and wide, and I was compelled to establish a labor= atory for compounding and bottling the Root Bitters in larfe ?uanutles for use. Root Bittersare strictly & Medicinal Preparation, such as was used ‘ln the good old days of our forefathers, when peo-’ ple were cured by some simple root or plant, and when calomel and “other %olsons of the mineral kingdom were unknown. For Consumgtion, Asthe ma, Catarrh, Scrofula, Scrofulous Eruptiors, Rheumatism, Piles, Fits, Heart Disease, Dizziness, Liver Complaint, Kidney"[‘aud Urinary D{sea.ses, Feverand Ague, Dyspepsia, Lost Vitality, and Broken Down Constitutions, these Root Bitters are universally admitted to be the most wonderful discovery in the world. Thelir searching, healing fpropertles&enetratq every portion of the human - ramehsoo ing thg lungs and strengthening the stomac ,kldngﬂs and Hver. Forweakly, neérvous young men, suffering from loss of mcmorg. CtC.y saused from abuses in early life, and to delicate females, these Root Bitters are especially recommended. No other *medicine will cure Scurvy, Sgﬁhms Salt Rheum, Boils, Tetter, Ring Worm, White éwmlmg Sorg Eyes, Running of the Eavs, Ulcers, Fever Bores, Qancerous Formations, Drops%, Erys{felaa, Pimples, Tlesh Worms, Pustules, Blotehes, and all Skin dise €ases, S 0 qulci{l{v as the Root Bitters. All diseases Liave their origin in bad blood. The Root Bitters lay the axe at the root of the tree of disease, by scarching and purifying the blood which will nour--ish and invlfora,te every organ andepart of the body and kee%it nrepair until a ripe old age. -1t is my desire that the suffering all over the world should . receive the benefit of my remedy, and ?articularly such&:ersons ashavegivenup all liopes of ever being cured, Ge W, F I:AZ}ER, Cieveland, Ohio.
