Bs' rktart Devens made a neat hit

The tenqierance people of Ohio have
abandoned the idea of prohibitory ’eg

using moral suasion upon the drunk

The Racine post-office has changed
hands and Col. Utley, the retiring
postmaster, is one of the maddest men
that ever wrote P. M. after his name.
The Colonel will hereafter devote his
time and energies to the publication
of an anti-administration organ.
The Madison Democrat thinks that
the administration has done the coun
try a good service by delaying the ex
tra session of Congress till October
15th, and then magnanimously re
frains from blaming President Hayes
for the delay, as he did right in thus
postponing the session.
It is not at all unlikely that France
and Germany will have another tussle
pending the European war, as lioth
nations are preparing for business,and
one of Germany's most noted war
riors and statesmen has intimated the
possibility of contingencies that will
precipitate a clash of arms.
It is reported, apparently on good
authority, that Gov. Washburn made a
quarter of a nullion dollars in his
wheat and flour operations, recently.
A prominent Democratic journal re
joices at this as this increase of his
wealth will tend to make Washburn a
more formidable antagonist against
Matt. Carpenter.
The Philadelphia World's Fair in

hundred thousand people were present
the first day.
Mrs. Partington says that just before
the late war circumstances were seen
around the moon nightly, shooting
stars perambulated the earth, the desk
of the sun is covered with ink sjiots
and comics swept the horizon with
their operatic tails. Every body said
it profiigated -war, and snre enough
war did come.
The people of Minnesota are soon to
decide by vote whether or not they
will pay the railroad bonds issued
nineteen years ago by the State in aid
of the construction of railways. Re
pudiation has for years been a stigma
upon Minnesota, and the sooner the
payment of these bonds is provided for
the better will it be for her credit.
Some of our Republican State ex
changes are deploring the open person
al correspondence between Governor
Washbnrn and Senator Carpenter.
While it certainly is nothing to 'he
credit of either of the gentlemen in
dulging therein, it is entertaining
reading to the rank and tile of the

dextrously party magnates pull the
wires.
A high official in the treasury de
partment says he would not be sur
prised to see currency brought to par
with gold in this country as a conse
quence of the war in Europe. In his
view the large export and decreased
import trade would insure a large in
flux of specie to make up the balance
of trade in our favor; in addition to
this, the returns received from the
mining regions of the Pacific indicate
that they will produce more in the
next six months than ever before, the
product for the past month being es
timated at 54,0000,000.
Staxlxy at last accounts was at Tim

Tue subject of utilizing the im
mense water power at Niagara Falls
was recently dismissed by Dr. Siemens
i'i an address delivered before a meet
ing of the Iron and Steel Institute of
Great Britain, of which he is presi
dent? He computes the power of the
Horse Shoe fall at 17.000,000 horse
power. The f wee not l»eing deliver
ed at convenient points. Dr. Siemens
suggests that dynamo-electrial ma
chines moved by water be used to gen
erate currents of electricity. He esti
mates that a single three inch rod of
copper will convey a thousand horse
power to a distance of thirty miles.
RAILROADS.
There is an evident tendency in the
West to a revival of railroad building.
The country has got down to hard
pan. a healthy recuperation bi begin
ning, and the industry of railway
building in consequence thereof will
lie resumed, though capitalists will
hereafter, for years, give projected
railway enterprises the most searching
Investigation ere putting their money
into them. The Wisconsin Central
will soon close the gap which sepa
rates Ashland from the outside
world, and the North Wisconsin is
pushing along its extension toward
Lake Superior. Other lines are pro
jected in this State, some of which
will doubtless be commenced during
the year, as labor is cheap and capi
tal has been gradually accumulating
since the work of railway building
was checked by the hard times. We
observe that narrow gauge railways
are constantly growing in favor, and
we believe that they are destined to
become quite popular. They can be
constructed at much less expense
than the standard gauge and the
“break of gauge” does not appear to
lie as serious an objection to the nar
row gauge as was at first supposed, it
now being claimed by the friends of
the narrow gauge lines that the trans
fer of freight costs iu reality less than
the return from remote points of empty
cars to the different lines to which
they respectively belong. If this fact
can be clearly demonstrated it appears
to us that the greatest objection to the
narrow gauge has been answered,
while there are obvious reasons which
favor in many instances the construc
tion of the narrow gauge line, one of
the most forcible being the reduced
cost of construction, and we might
add, of equipment and operation.
Would it not be worth the while of
some of our prominent business men
and shipper* to carry their investiga
tions a little further in the direction
of narrow gauge railway lines should
a standard gauge road from thisplace
to some point on the West Wisconsin
prove unattainable.
why farming does not Pay.
Eds. Journal:— The question is of
ten asked, “Does farming pay ?” It
is frequently asked, why is it that so
many farmers are poor, or “hard up,”
as it is termed.
Now 1 think there is a reason for all
this. In the first pb.ee it is too com
mon with a great many farmers to
buy every thing they see and want,
whether they can pay or not, provided
they can buy on time, which is gener
ally a very easy thing to do, —much
easier than it is to jtay when it comes
due. Now a great many of these
things we could get along without, if
we only thought so. Some will blame
the agents who sell these things, say
ing that they use undue endeavors to
pursuade them to buy.
Would these farmers be any more
successful in any other business'!
Would they not show the same “tal
ent” for being “hard up.” Would
they not make some of the most “suc
cessful failures ?” I think they
would.
Now 1 would not deprive any one
of the rights of an American citizen.
Agents, therefore, have the right to
drive along the road and sell machin
ery. or any thing else, provided they
can find a purchaser. And a farmer,
also has a right to buy a horse, car
riage, reaper, or anything he wants
provided he can get credit. He has a
right to promise his creditors to ]>ay,
when he knows that in all probability
he v ill not be able to do so. He has
a right to disappoint his creditors at
any time. He has a right to pay
heavy interest on h»s notes. He has
a right to sell his w.ieat in the fall at
the lowest market price, because he is
not able to wait for a rise in the mar
ket. But when he has enjoyed these
‘•inalienable rights,” he should not
complain when the sheriff comes
around to exercise his rights, and sell
him out.
Farmers, lot us not find fault w ith
our occupation and say it is not profit
able. Let us look the tnatter square in
the face, and we will see that the
fault is within ourselves. Let us hire
a team for ten days in spoiling, and
ten days in harvest rather than buy
on time, promising to pay from thr'- j
to four hundred dollars. The inter
est saved will pay the bill, to say noth
ing of the expense and risk of keep
ing. Let us make the old machines do
a little longer. Let ns ride In a wagon
rather than promise to pay for a car
riage. Let us make it a point to
keep wheat for our bread and seed.
We will find any of these experiments
are well worth trying. Let ns, as far
as possible, pay as we go. The credit
system is the worst evil against which
the farmer has to contend.
These are some of the reasons why
farming is not profitable to all in the
West. That it does pay we have many
living witnesses to testify. We have
men all arotmd ns who have been
farmers all their lives, and, while they
are not what are termed rich men now
a-days, yet they are independent and
comfortable. Troy.

ELKMKMTARY OKOQKAPHY.
BY R. U KEKD.
Every successful teacher of Geog
raphy must in a large measure make
his own system.
While no claim to perfection is
made in the following outline of in
troductory work iu Geography, I do
claim that this or some similar plan is
infinitely superior to those in accord
ance with which most of our primary
geographies are mads. We will
suppose the class to consist of children
about eight years of age in a country
district.
Answers to the following questions,
drawn skillfully from the pup.ls and
arranged in order by the teacher,
afterward to lie .copied and memorized
by the pupil and made the basis of
frequent examinations are the means;
geographical training the end.
What is your name ?
Where do you live ?
How much land does your father
own ?
What divides your father's laud
from that of his neighbors!
What is the shape of the farm ?
If your father were to sell it, how
would he describe it? What is the
soil ?
Is there any water ? stone ? wood
land ? prairie ? hill ? swamp ? or other
natural feature on the faun ?
W hat crops does your fither raise?
Describe the different operations in
farming, as clearing, plowing, sowing,
planting, cultivating, harvesting,
threshing, selling.
Different uses of crops. Natural
features noticed on the road from the
different homes of the pupils to the
school.
What kinds of timber grow ?
Which way are your houses from
school ?
Questions on roads, business. Ac.
Let specimens of grains, nuts, woods,
rocks, &c.*be brought to school and
examined. Continue this work until
the geography of the school district
is learned. The map is to be divided
into farms and the owners name at
tached, the school-house and surround
ings located. This work may perhaps
occupy three months. Afterward let
the town be studied in a similar man
ner, divided into sections with some
items of its history and government.
Then in order, the county and state,
followed by the neighboring states of
Minnesota, Michigan, lowa and Illinois
and the entire United States.
No knowledge should be imparted
to the pupil by the teacher, which the
pupil can, by ordinary diligence, dis
cover for himself. Thus, in a hasty
manner, in answer to requests, 1 have
sketched a plan for teaching primary
geography and submit it to fellow
workers in the field.
Profit by the aliove article and those
in future issues upon Primary Geog
raphy.

The problem given in this column

stick of timber 12 feet long, by three
men, two of whom use a lever, in such
a manner that all shall carry equal
weights, is answered b v J. A. C. Lev

end. The same answer is given by
Henry Maxgood with analysis, which
is very creditable, and original. It
was performed experimentally.

2029, 2057, 2085, 2125, &c. The in
tervals are 28 years, except such as
cover years divisible by 100 but not
by 400, which are not leap years.
Such intervals are 40 years. During
the next twelve centuries, the years
in which it happens on Sunday recur
in the same order, once in four hun

THE I EW AMERICAN

Is Decidedly the Best tor All Purposes.

NEEDLE.
Tlie AMERICAN I- not an experiment, bat has a well established reputation. It been before the
public forthe last 2r> years, and it hua fought its way into prominence upon its merits alone.
The pointe of superiority which we claim are real, and not an advertising dodge For instance. It is
more simple than others, and at the same time well built, of good material* and faoueel workmanship;
in addition to this there are no DRAG-SAW motions in it. Surely no sane person will deny that it M
more DURABLE than others.
Its Self-Threading Siiutth . Self-Setting Needle, and Light and Still-Rumdug qualities are points which
cannot be successfully contradicted. beside-, it ha- more mem under the Arm Needle and Foot, thus
admitting heavier goods than others.
It never oils the thread, never daps stitches, seldom breaks the thread, does not break thread when
lan backwards. Can lie instantaneously adjusted to work from No 3uo to No. S cotton.
On account of its great convenience and simplicity it is easier understood and quicket learned than
any other. For these- and many otuer reasons the AMERICAN MACHINE is the best in which U> Invest
your money. Sold at a MODERATE PRICE and on terms w> easy as to be within the reach of all. I
warrant them to give entire satistaetion. You cannot afford to purchase a machine -without giving tu»
AMERICAN a trial.
