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. -- ii—> « ----- One by one the illus-on; of life vanish into thin air and fade away. 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 will be demonstrating that Bour boon whiskey ain't whiskey either and then what will there bo left for a Kentuckian to believe in? --- . m - 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. ...... --- An exchange says that the cor reet answer to the gentleman who wrote the song, ‘Why did I marry?' would be. ‘Because you met a woman who was a first-class fooL' 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 ware a dog.' Never mind,' retort e 1 the young lady, sharply 'you’ll grow.’ ‘Love,’ says the writer, ‘lightens the heart.’ ft has been known to have pr wisely the same effect upon e ptsket '‘ook. 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 hare treated them with derisi-m.— Ttiev It vj expoiinijutel for the good of the world, while oriiers have simoly worke I for their own good. Thoy t sstel theories while others raised crop t for savkvt.— They have given a glo y to the <>e eupation i f faming it never had be tore. Fancy farmers hav - changed the wild hog iut > the Suffolk and Berk¬ shire; the w.ld cattle of Britain inti Sh rthorns, tho mouivain sheep, with its ean body and hair ttjeoe into the Soutbd >«vu and Merino.— They brought up the milk of cows from pints to gdlons. They have leuglbe te-1 the sirloiu of the hul lock, en’arged the ham of the hog. given strength lo the shoulder o the ox, rendered finer the wool of 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 origin. Tiny brought out the thee ry of the rotatiou of crops as ; natural means for keeping up an increasing the tenility of the soil.— Tuey first ground up gypsum an. bones, and treated the »latter v i h acid to make manures of peculia value. They first nnn.dyzed soi. as a means of determining win t was wanted to increase their fertility . They introduced the most npprov d methods ol raising and distributiu; water. Fancy farmers or fancy horti cultnrisls have givim us ail our va rities of traits, vegetables aud How ers. A fancy farmer, in Vermont, ■ few years ago, orig.nated the Eurl_ Rose potato, which added million of dollars to the wealth of the conn try, and proved a most imporia- t accession iu every part of the no where introduce 1. Anot-eruf th same fane men originated the W son strawberry, and another t Cot.cord grape Come South. A scarcity of fuel is one of i greatest drawbacks to a residen in the new Noithwest. The white, are long and severe, ani there very little combustible inateri within a reasonable distance . many settlements in Western Min nesota and Dakota. The farme have been compelled to burn the grain in some instances. At Sion Falls the schools have been sm pended, and a mill with one bun dred workmen has been shut rj because it was impossible to study or work without fire. Telegrap poles have been cut down, and cu in the country the people have laid hands on the sleepers of the rail¬ road track. Tiia tearing down of wooden depot buildings has even been con'e.nplated as a last resort. Unless some adjacent coal mines at discovered, the experience of tl e winter just closing will be sufficiec to induce many residents to num further south. As a partial relit the brick stoves introduced by th Rtssian Mannonites and copied by settlers ot other nationalities ar doing a good work. Thai’ con¬ sume less fuel than the ordinary stoves, and dried grass and a good many other trashy materials may be used in them. Still, for the present, the prairie colonists are having a hard time —....... - "■ » » 1 --- - There are sjme very straight-far , wanl people in Galveston. One o them went up into the News office, an I sauntering up to the editor, asked: ‘I hear tint the Bible has been revised. Do you know if many iu portant changes have been made?’ ‘A good many, I believe.’ ‘Then there is no mistake abont Ananias being struck dead for ly¬ ing?' ‘No; I believe not. ’ ‘Well, if I was you I would fin 1 out about it,’ and ho strolled out as uitconccrm dly ns yon pi rns*. “Logically,'said Smith, ‘I. shai be compelled to marry a beautiful woman.
