I can not gather it up when cured quite so Inst as when it is bound in small bundles, but the timo saved , n polling besides more than this, makes I up for this loss; lose little fodder at ail, but is free from mould, sottotl and sweet.

The circle of guests assembled there one evening included a representa¬ tive, small in body, but grout in mind, known to fame in both hemispheres, and clothed with wit and humor £s with a shining garment. I must give him a name for my own convenience and will call him Box. The conversation turned on jugglers and jugglery. A gentleman showed how adroitly the Fakir of Siva had picked the watch-pocket of President Mahan, of Obcrliu, in his presence. Another told ■ of seeing a juggler fry a dozen eggs, in a new* silk hat, without soiling the hat. “Oh, yos,” said the waggish Box, “that is easily done. I can do it myself. A juggler taught me thc trick in Con stall- 1 ’ 1 ^ “T ?'l!“% Provoked guests of g^d-natured badinage, from every part ofthe room * Bnt lie persisted in thc assertion of liis ability to “pcrfoim the trick,” until 1 is friends finally concluded to afford him an opportunity to acquire fresh laurels, by frying a dozen eggs, in a silk liat, without soiling it. It wes necessary, at the outset, to pro vide the amateur juggler with the eggs, .] lic h lie dedaroJ nmol bo, in eumbev, tMrtocn , tt bulicr - s <lozcn , B „itl,cr more nor less. An attendant was sum¬ moned and sent to the kitchen for the cgg3. He soon reappeared with a large glass dish, into which l?o had broken thirteen fresh eggr,. Box counted the yolks with great care, to make sure that the “trick” should not fail, by reason of a mistake in the number of the eggs. He then remarked that it was essential to a successful performance of the “trick’’ that the eggs should be fried in a new silk hat SShau - cI ‘ V enou - h therc sctm ' • ctl to bc none at band. A heavy shower had occasioned the use of other liuts for the evening. At length a “spick and uas ^r” discovered b ," m t a •°, chair, t,hcfinrak in a * remote corner of the room.

Macon Telegraph. Tin’s pre-eminence of thc American farmer exists in spite of the/act that he bears other burdens than those which naturally belong to him. lie is the principal victim of an economic system based ou discrimination. Thc discrimi nation is always against him, and neces¬ sarily so. If “protection” is necessary to a manufacturing business, it must be because that business is an unprofitable one, and thc bounties ta make it other¬ wise must be paid by meu engaged in au industry which is naturally remunera¬ tive. Of all American industries, agri¬ culture seems almost the onlyofie strong enough to stand alone, and thoso which receive protection hang upon it like leeches. But it has been bled too much; the leeches have become too big and [vo¬ racious. Figures recently printed show that almost the whole w oaith of the cnin try has beer drained awny to the North¬ east. Tlie nine manufacturing Htales, with about one-third of the population, hold more than five-sixths of the public debt, own an even larger proportion of the railroads of the country, mortgages on pel haps half the farms and city prop¬ erty of the West, and have 3,071,0*10 de¬ positors^ savings banks alone, against 22-1,000 in all the balance of the country. Thc causers which have enabled nine States to put flic rest of the country un¬ der mortgage, if they continue, will go far to destroy the conditions which have so far enabled American farmers to. defy the competition of pauper labor. Tho mortgage may change to a title, and in time American peasants may cultivate rented lands for the comfort of a rich aristocracy and a bare existence for themselves. It will not make those peasants more content to remember that the wealth of their landlords was extor¬ ted from themselves by an unjust law. *•• The Queen's New Chair.
