June fj 1 B GrOOCLs 13. 0W0SS0, MICH., Peterson's Magazine for July is before us, with one of the mgst ex quisite steel engravings we have ever seen.

Then there is a charming colored steel fashion-plate, with five figures; a colored pattern in crewels, Pome granates and Leaves; and something like fifty wood-cuts of dresses, work table patterns, etc., etc. a perfect galaxy of good things. The most poticeablc article is an illustrated one, A London Dinner Party, by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, describing a din ner, at which she was present, at the late Earl ot Carlisle's. Nothing that we have read brings before one, so vividly, the state and splendor of such a meal, in the houses of what D'lsra li used to call the higher aris tocracy. There are, in addition, sev eral capital love-stories: especially White Simplicity, of very unusual merit, even for Peterson.

The revolution in recent methods of doing business is a characteristic of modern crrterprise, worthy to chronicle. The press, that potent agent of human intelligence has be come a powerful lever of the indus trial in which all things arc pleasant ly and profitably allied. To entertain and instruct a purchaser while minis tering to their material requirements, is a master stroke of policy on the JUNE 23, 1882. part of certain merchants of promi nence. A casual perusal of the quarterly published by Strawbridge & Clothiers of Philadelphia, affords a striking illustration of the great suc cess of the system of bringing far lying states and territories, within the arena of home trade. The Spring number of this practi cal periodical contains over one hun dred pages of readable and instruct ive data, embellished with fitting and appropriate illustrations; the tone of the publication is suggestive of help in the complicated matters of of dress, domestic art and household management. The contributions are of a character which cannot fail to prove of practical "benefit in a double sense. They amuse and instruct the render upon the fine points of do mestic economy, whflfe furnishing facts and figures relating to the vast and varied stocks, as are not obtaina ble by a casual tour of the great store, which covers an entire block, and embraces at least a hundred lines of goods of every character and quali ty, itt figures which bring their superb confections within the reach of all. Electrotypes of the many novel and beautiful articles comprehended in the Spring display grace the pages of of this indispensable gmde to buyers with the prices marked in plain fig ures. Specimen copies of this quar terly sent on receipt of 15 cents. It is an easy matter to manipulate an order from the data furnished, w'th a view to facilitating the business of purchasing by proxy, above alluded to. Goods are sent promptly and sa'ely by post or express, to all parts of the country. The firm have at tained a widespread reputation for fair dealing at home and abroad; hence, to extend their influence from the vast and varied resources at com mand will be an easy matter, public confidence having previously paved the way to unlimited success. Agricultural College Graduates. One of the most eloquent and in teresting of the triennial alumni ora tions cf our Agricultural college, was that given by Geo. A. Farr, in 1873, in which the speaker showed that even in the interest of agriculture it was not desirable that all of the grad uates should become tillers of the soil. The tastes, inclination, and aptitude of many would demand, on the part of w'sdom, that they engage in other pursuits. More than one half the graduates have actually be come dir jctly engaged in the line of work specially called to their attention in the very practical course of study which is marked out specially to aid the agriculturist Yet it does not follow that the oiher part sbaH do less to promote the interests of agri culture. The speaker held that every graduate, whatever his calling, would take an active inte est in agri culture. And the very fact that he was engaged in other call'ngs would often make him more efficient to a d agricul ture than if directly engaged ha farm ing. That the graduates of the Michigan Agricultural college do possess a stro.ig desire to serve the calling to which their attention has been so persistent ly directed during the four years of their course, is fully sustained by actual statistics. This is strikingly true of those who ac not actually employed on the farm. Senator Farr himself, remarked to the writer, a short time since, that it was his ambition to pos sess and control one of t!e finest and best-equipped farms in the state of Michigan, which ambition would ce.tainly.be gratified if his life was spared. Several other lawyer gradu ates have already secured large farms. The only graduate that has gone into the ministry ft yet, has written a very popular and valuable book on agicul ture, and is one of the most able writ ers for the agricultural press. Simi lar remarks may be made of those WHOLE NO. 161 graduates who have become editors and doctors. The several professors who are grad uates from the college and consid ering the age of the college their num ber and influence is remarkable are not lacking in this same tendency. Prof. Cook has, during the present spring, set out more than 100 trees along the highway which passes through his farm near Owosso. These are not all maples or elms, but include several of the most desirable species, such as lindens, maples, elms, walnuts, chestnuts, catalpas, larches, ashes, butternuts, willows, etc. They are not set equi-distant, in one uniform straight line, but are grouped, not so as to injure the road, but to produce a very pleasing effect. The professor has also put in nearly a mile of ditch, and has added some of the most choice cattle of the Short horn breed to his farm. Prof. Cook has often remarked that he desired to have one of the best herds of Shorthorns and one of the finest or chards possible. He surely seems in the way to realize his wish. A fine creek runs across the farm which has its source entirely in springs on the place. This is the seat of fine pro spective fish-ponds. Sheep Shearintr of L W- A 0. Barnes. Some time since L. W. &: O. Ba-nes, of Byron, sent us the following re port of the shearing of their sheep, which has been necessarily left out until this publication. The report is nearly the same as printed in the Michigan Farmer. The Messis. Barnes report their stock as doing finely, and that the demand for young stock is as large as they can fill. Any one wishing to purchase Merino sheep, Poland china pigs, or Shoit Horn cattle, will do well 0to visit them. Of the sheep shearing they say : Having completed the shearing of our flock of Merinos, we send you the table of weights of a portion of the flock. Our flock consists of 67 breeding ewes, 23 yearling ewes, 40 yearling rams, and 5 aged rams. The fleeces of the 67 breeding ewes averaged 13 lbs. 7 ozs; of the 23 yearling ewes 11 lbs.; of the 40 year ling rams 13 lbs. 3 ozs, and of the five aged rams 26 lbs. 3 ozs. 1 li i 6 II 8 No. Sire. 2 0 s r- EWES.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER. From Oar Owa Correnpednt. New York, June 19, 1882. We don't hear quite so much about local strikes now, and the conclusion is that the axe and the helve, as Puck puts it, have come together again, and labor and capital have made up their minds that if they don't work together to cord up the wood, there'll be some shivering in winter. One of the funniest of the strikes was in the Herald office. It lasted 25 minutes and the "Chapel" won. A proof reader, copyholder and compositor were summarily fined for some blun der. The last rebelled saying the two others should have called his at tention to it, and was discharged. Result sympathetic revolt crowned by victory as above. Some of our leading citizens, be sides Bennett, who is disgusted with the country where he makes his mon ey and has gone to the Azores in his new steam yacht with' a party of friends, are suffering from a sad lack of veneration on the part of some who are not leading citizens. That unfortMnate Andre monument has finally been sent to everlasting smash at Tappan, and a cruel caricature of the great and good Cyrus W. Field, who erected it, was found suspended on a pole beside the fragments, rep resenting him Sus. per col. with an in scription "He is not dead but sleep eth. First in peace, first in patriot ism and first in the pockets of his countrymen." Mr. Field had sailed for Europe when this outrage oc curred, and it is supposed will never come back any more. Perhaps be made a Marquis. He has made mon ey enough to support the dignity. Even inanimate representative . of dignity have berm pitched into. A sailor was arrested the other day for firing at the statue of Justice on the top of the City Hall. He explained that he was saluting her with blank cartridge, but he was found in bad company and was locked up. The cheerful crowd with him was com posed of tramps, who had been guy ing a fat policeman, and going Lhrough some religious ceremonies before a broom-stick dressed in what was intended to represent a police man's clothes, all in the sacred pre cincts of the park. Then the delightful, gilded youth, whose fathers made money by oil or shoddy, or some such way, and who make money for tailors and jewellers by their superb, numerous and varied rigs, and sporting goods purveyors, by their unlimited purchases of guns, horses, polo equipments, etc., have been evil entreated by that old enemy of the nobs and snobs, Capt. Williams. He is back again in the old peculiar precinct, which is so peculiar that all strangers should keep clear of, but which singularly enough, most stran gers steer right for that great pre cinct where the, tiger rages and the great ante-Jumbo elephant waves his prehensile trunk, and gathers 'em in. The Racquet Club is here situated, an exclusive affair supported by the very tip-top toniest of the G. Y. afore said. Its location, so ?ay their ene mies, having been determined from its proximity to the chosen pastures for thc;r normal nocturnal p!ea;ur-s. It has a gymnasium, and also bed rooms for some of the members, handy to roll into after sirging mer rily in adjacent juniper groves in the wee, sma' hours. WeM, three of the "bloods," one of them easily attired in buff and a dressing gown, having just taken a bath, were dining, when in rushed their frightened waiter and a policeman who said the darkey was wanted for an alleged theft. The gentlemen were horrified at the i sion and remarking that the ir n should not be made a prisoner with out a warrant, proceeded to make a prisoner of the captor. He yelled something out of the window which eventuated in a descent by a ; arty of comrades from the adjacent statiun housc who rescued him an "Stooped the colored man and club swells, not omitting a few contusions, and not waiting for the lightly cbd one to dress. The latter were fined in court next morning, and I'm glad of it. I have no sort of objection to rich men being just as idle and ei -va-gant as they choose, provided they don't parade their vk M ft ltd 81 an example that demoralize 6thev9 who are not rich and rjui't auortl to be loose and lacy. The tnmfoolrries at the Union club and this affair re making a good many people think thi people had better follow Bennett to Europe.
