A reporter of ihe Chicago Trib
nne interview d A"chibald Forbes
the great English war o-'rreapon-.
•lent, in tbit city tho other day.—
Remarking on what the Tribune had
stvied a wonderful piece of
ism—the cabling of the account of
the but loot' Spi.zkop, in which
Gen. Colly was killed, some tweuty
thousand utiles—Mr. Forbes has
cited a far more ciiriutis instauce of
joumalmtic enterprise, the tele-,
graphing of the storming of Ivhy
ber pass, in A r ghanisiau, which
was published in Chicago at 8 a. m.
November 22, 1878, whereas the
storming really took place at noon
the same day, four hours later, t le
telegraph having beat the sun
nruuud the world just four hours.—
This is indt ed ouo of the triumphs
of journalism.
“Seizing the gigantic In Van
around the waist the brave boy lift¬
ed him into the air and flung him
headlong down the chasm. Pant¬
ing, the boy stood and watched the
Indian's body fall from crag to crag
until it disappeared in the darkness
below. Just at this moment—’
just at that moment the father of
the boy who was reading this trash
came along, lifted the youngst er by
the ear, and in the woodshed mati
nee that followed the boy had no
thought of flinging the old man
down a chasm. There wag no
chasm handy.
Last year was a phenomenal year
f»r immigration, the number ol ar¬
rival-* in this c mntry exceed ng
those of any previous twelve month.
But the arrivals in the first week in
March are 5,328, an inctease of
2.479 over the first eight days of
la*t March. As soon as the weath¬
er becomes a little milder we may
look f >r such a rush of people to
nur shores as has never been irnag
ined.
The people of Arkansas want a
grand congress of the farmers -if
this country, so at least the Legia
lature of that State declares, having
adopted a resolution to this effect
ami, further, suggested St. Louis as
ihe place and October as the month
lor meeting. The grand congress
might then be made a portion of the
St. Louis F a'r.

It. is now announced on scientific
authority that the celebrated blue
grass of Kentucky isn't blue grass
at all, but something quite different.
By and by, we suppose, some fellow

K cremation society, composed
of twenty-five gentlemen and three
ladies, was formed in New York
last week, with the Rev. J. D.
Benglcs, a chaplain in the United
States Navy, as President. All ac¬
tive members will be incinerated
free of charge at death. A compa¬
ny with $50,000 capital is to be in¬
corporated.
The Irishman had a correct ap¬
preciation of the fitness of things
who being asked by the judge
when he applied for a license to
sell whisky, if he wts of good mer¬
red character replied, ‘Faith, yer
honor, I don't see the necessity of
agood' moral character to sell'
whisky!’
‘I don’t like a coitigo-bnilt man,’
sail young S veeps to a rich old un¬
cle, who was telling the story of
his early trials for the hun-lreth
time. ‘What do jou mein by a
cottage-built min?’ asked his uncle.
‘A man with only one story,’ an¬
swered young t-i weeps. That set*
tied it. Young Sweeps was left
out of his uncle's will.
A would-be prophet lately said
in one of his sermons, that he was
sent to redeem the world and all
things therein. U pon hearing this,
a native pulled out two five dollar
bills against broken banks, and res
ques'ed him to fork over the specie
for them.

A young lady was caressing a
pretty spaniel and murmuring, ‘I
do love a dog!’ ‘Ah,’ sighed a
dsn if standing near, ‘I would I

grow.’

Fancy Farmers
The Lancaster Farmer says that,
no class of men have been ridiculed
so much, nod none have date so
much good as those who are de
nom nated bvf farmers. They
have been, iu all timas and countries,
the betisfio.or- of tho men itth

the sheep, added tteetnest to the
horse, aud made baautiful every
animal that is kept in th a service o.
man. They have improved and
hastened the development of all do
meslic animals, till they hardly rt
semble the animals from tv hich they
sprang.
Fancy farmers introduced irriga¬
tion and under draining, also grind¬
ing and cooking food for stock.—
They have brought guano from Pen.
aud uitrato of s > la from Chili.—
They introduced and domesticate,
all the p’aiits we have of foreiei

There are sjme very straight-far ,

them went up into the News office,
an I sauntering up to the editor,
asked:

‘A good many, I believe.’
‘Then there is no mistake abont

‘No; I believe not. ’
