chickens, calves, and colts by artificial means as wo do fish, and doing a thousand other things as remote from the knowledge aud expectations of to-day as were reapers, mowers, stemn oars, and granges from the thoughts of the farmer of a hundred years ago. Hut we do not propose in thlsarticlo to contemplate the farmer coming down the stream of time, but refer to a veritable live farmer of to-day who is coming across the waters from old England. He is in a measure thu product of the present labor movement, and in a large degreo the author of it so far as the farmers, especially of England, are concerned, and is destined to have a large influence in guidiug that move uent, and making it a failure or suo-

large estates, they and their families are at tho mercy of landlords. They labor from twelve to fourteen hours per day and roceivo ten shillings ($2.50) per week. Tboy livo in miserable hovels, in tjbo midst of filth, a largo family often huddled together in a single room and very imperfectly protected against the ruin, nnd half smothered by the boat of tho sun. Of course they are ignorant, and for tho greuter part do not dream that there is a possibility of any thing better for them. Then tho great auinber who are utterly dependent upon laborof this kind for subsistence, the supply far exceeding tho demand, serves to perpetuate tho power of the landlords, and make it safe for him to exercise any tyranny, aud unsafe for tho peasant oithor to seek redress, or an improvement of his lot. To be turned out, often means starvation or the workhouse. If that ancient people needed a Moses, or the slaves of this Innd a Lincoln, the serfs of England noed an Arch orsomo other deliverer.

Until thirty years of ugo this man was in the satno condition of abject serfdom as described above. At this period of his life he bccamo roligious. As Is genorally the case among tho ig norantand lowly, his religion made him moro earnest and thoughtful, nnd so more intelligent. He joined tho Meth odistfl and took an active part in their religious work, and by thus associat Ing with those of an education and ietvs superior to his owu, ho increased intelligence and inlluencc, and became in timo a lay preacher of groat power among the peopio of his own class, liy the influenco thus gained, and by his strong common sonso and goodness of heart, he bccamo tho advisor of tho lowly people about him. Inspired to rise above his condition, by moans of energy, Industry und self-re-liance, he secured a little land for himself. From a peasant to a laud owner in England is a long stride, and one that lew can take. Having improved his own condition beset about lifting others alter him in tho true spirit -of bis religion. With tho same homely but fervid and telling eloquence with which he had stirred up tho people to take care of tboir spiritual interests, he depicts th« lr temporal degradation, and exhorts tbem to care for the presout and material interests of themselves an .-mllies, and assert and stand by ttieir rights, lie succeeded in forming unions of the peasants for this purpose, somewhat alter the plan of the unions of mechanics. Of course this movement, which was as first sneered at, as it became iu:midable met with violent denunciation and opposition. The Duke of Marlboro ordered his steward to turn opt without notice overy tenant on bis large estate who was found to be a member of the union. Ducking in tho nearest horse-pond was the course recommended by one Right Reverend Bishop, with reference to any agent of the union found in bis diocesc.

But the anion movement increased in extent and power. In nearly, probably in quite all the counties of England these anions oxlst, snd they have succeeded in some instances in very materially increasing the wages of the la borers. Bat it is impossible to make any great and general improvement in the lot of these people while the sapply so far exceeds the demand. Hence the mission of Arch to this country. He oomes to study the condition and opportunities of fturm laborers here, lo order tbat be may learn whether immigration may not be the remedy tor the ilia of the English peasant. In this be shows his sagacity, aad that he is no mere demagogue, bat is laboring for the real interests of the people.

He will hare a hearty welcome to our shores by all classes of

the study of this Important question. And if be shall bring on his colonies of English peasants, they too will be wel oomed to the rights and opportunities of good wages, good homes, good education, acquisition of property, and general improvement of themselves and the future prospects of thoirobil-

AT Philadelphia, a lew days since, an ascension was mado for tho express purpose of ascertaining tho stato of tho winds and currents of tho atmosphere at this season of the year,' and the resulls were not favorable to Professor Wise's trans-Atlantic calculations. Two persons weut up in the Philadelphia balloon, starting at 3 o'clock i*. and landing in fifty minutes in Burlington county, New Jersey, seven miles east of Egg Harbor and fifty-two miles southeast of Philadelphia. If Professor Wise should make as much "southing" as that, he would land on the extreme end of the Cape of Good Hope, if not still further south.

The golden lamp of California, which buraed so brightly in the duys gone by, scorns to have left but its ashes on the fertile plan, and be advises all who can got along in Illinois to stay where they arc.

THE newest thing in the way of ghost stories is that which comes from the staid old SUto of Pennsylvania. Upon ono of tho railways in tho northern purt of that Commonwealth tho ghosts are doing what may be called a laudolUce business. Among other things, thoy run phantom trains which go ascreeching around the curves by night or thundering up through tho hemlock ravines. So palpable is all this that passengers rush to the depot when the shadowy train Is coming, only to be disappointed. Worse than all, the ghosts of those who have been killed on the railway track come forth at the solemn hour of midnight and trwop up and down in tho horrible condition in which they were lofc by tho accident which did the business for them in tho flesh. They then organize in convention, mako speeches, and in a very bu-siness-like manner pass resolutions censuring tho company for its careless nous, etc. When tho cock crows the convention dissolves into tho viewless air.

takes the kind things said under such circuinstances in a Pickwickian sense, Wo were led into this traiu of thought while sitting down to write some honest words of ragret at tho departure from this city of Rev. James W. Greono, who to morrow closes his connection with the Centenary M. E. Church. Beau intimate personal-friend of tho Roveroud gentleman, our expressions are not only sincere, but in accordance with exact truth. Mr. Groone, from tho day of his entrance to our city-has steadily grown in tbo confidence and esteem of the publio generally. His modesty, his earnestness, liis good souse, his kind and gentlemanly bearing toward all and lils faithfulness in his profession hitve won for him the confidence of this entire community, and the hearty affection of very many not connected with his church or denomination While he has been zealous in labors for his own church, and unusually success ful, yet never, by word or deed, has he given offense to Christians of other de nominations. His whole course among us has been that of a wise and faithful minister, and of a thorough Christian gentleman. When such a man leaves us we deeply regret that ecclesiastical law which lorbids his longer stay. If at somo future time tbo powers that bo shall permit the return of Mr. Greene, ho may bo sure of a hearty welcome and if he does not return ho may be suro that his character aud labors here are heartily appreciated by our citizens generally,

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

Tbe initial performance for the season of the Fanny B. Prico dramatic company at the Opera House, on Weduesday evening, was certainly most gratifying to the managttittont, to Miss Price and to the ladies and gentlemen of the company. A large, intelligent and critical audience assembled, und the general verdict on the "New Magdalen" was exceedingly complimentary to Mr. Hanchett as a dramatist and to tho company be has selected to produce it this season. Tbe plot of tho story Is ono of absorbing interest, and the dramatist has given it all those nice points which mako it effective on the stage. Tonight the Fanny B. Price company will appoar hero for the last time this season, and by general request the

New Magdalen" will again be given.: It is certainly a very creditable dramatization, is well acted and will bo sure to call out large audience. Miss I Price, Mr. Hanchett and his daughter Julia, have this week added greatly to I their popularity in this community, and will bo warinly welcomed on their return here ut the close of the season.

Lent's circus, Ac., had a fair-sized audience last night. Tho "fto" is little more than a "catch" for the circus, and that is hardly up to the standard of its first visit to this city. Tho menagorie attachment seems to have detracted from the excellent circus performance of former years, and we hope with its coming next season we may find it as before, "all circus."

Duprez «fc Benedict's favorite Minstrels come again to amuse us ucxt Wednesday evening. Last Sunday's St. Louis Republican says:

Messrs. Duprez fc Benedict's minstrels have had ono successful week at tbo Olympic, and they are in for anothor of the same sort. Tho troupe Is very full and strong aud contains several excellent comeaigns and several more good vocalists and instrumentalists. They have a full reportolro of new songs, sketches and sets, and the performers to give tbem proper effect. Tbe programme includes tbe usual Introductory exercises by the whole troupe and band, fresh songs, new jokes, nogro character sketches, dances, comicalities, die. They are woll worth seeing and enjoying.

Mr. Barnum has organized a new show, to be called "P. T. Barn urn's Marvelous drawing Room Aggregation." It includs the Msjiltons, tho English Wait family, and amiscellan^ ous corps of about 40 performers. Mr. B. F. Lowell is manager. This show is to travel, and give burlesque, dancing, comic opera, and all sorts of light entertainments, in halls and opera-houses throughout the country. It will begin at Bridgeport, Conn., on Sept 22. Mr. Barnum-'s circus und menagerie will not be discontinued.

Tho receipts for the first twelve performances of tho "Black Crook" recently reproduced at NIblo's, amounted to about tliirty-flvo thousand dollars. A new featurr. is tho actontitled

Tbe reproduction of "Uncle Tom's Csbln" by the Amateurs on Monday evening, called oat a fair sized audience, and notwithatsndlng the warm weather and the fact that the drama has been worn threadbare, and is somewhat out of date, very general satisfaction was given. A number of changes were made from the original cast—some for the better, some not—but where all did so well we have no disposition to. criticise, and will not attempt to psrtio4k ularize indeed, for amateurs the young ladies and gentlemen who took pari are worthy of high praise, and their aplt pearance in some other dram^ will be, hailed with plessure.
