A convention of farmara met in Topekit, Kan., on Wednesday last to organize a Farmer*’ Trnst. It was well attended, representatives being present from about all the Western States. The trust was formed and will aoon be in operation. The originators of this trust be lievo that farmers can, to a very great extent, control tbe prices of their products by limiting competi tion. They will do Ibis by watching tbo umkets closely tLrough their agents. When the markets are dull, and the supply fully equal to the de manJ, they will withhold their prod nets, and when it is active, and the ■apply insufficient, they will furnish wbst is needed in snch quantities as will not ?ause n break in prices. They also propose to save cornmis sions by employing tbe>r own agents to handle their prodnets. They eeti mate the earing in commissions alone at millions of doilais annually. This trust is certainly a big bnsi ness undertaking, the snccess of which is extremely doubtful. The originator of it is Col. Walter N, A1 len, of Kansas, who has been a lead ing farmer in that State for many Yosts. He is very enthusiastic, and has induced a great many farmers to believe that tbe trnst is a feasible business enterprise. He doubtless got his idea of it from the numerous trusts which have been formed within the last year or two io different parts of the country, such as tbo Standard Oil Trust, the Sugar Trust, the Coffee Trust; etc., but to make tbe Farmers’ Trust a success it will reqmro a great deal more business talent than is nccessa ry to direct nny one of the other trnsts. The Scigur Trust, for instance, ouly embraces a few sugar refineries, and tbe Cotton Seed Oil Trust about ninety cotton seed oil mills, but the Fanners' Trnst, in order to influ euce the market in the least, must coufrol tbe products of tens of thousands of farmers- How will it be possible to bring so many men into an organization so that they will act harmoniously to gellier? Of course there will be agencies in ali ihe cities and larger towns, and it may be that the trust will have representatives in every county in the district within its juris diction, but will it not be difficult, if not impossible, to get competent men for all these positions, and if they can be obtained, will it not be ex¬ tremely difficult tc so direct them that they will act in harmony and secure the objects aimed at. The other trusts that are now at¬ tracting so large & share of public at¬ tention are no doubt robbing the farmers, and the farmers feel that they must do something for self pro tcclion, but can they get the desired protection foom this trust? The chances arc they cannot. The trust is certain to be unwieldy, and it will # be about impossible to bring into it enough farmers to affect the market beneficially. The necessities ol lour fifths of them will compel them to ac cept whatever prices tbev can They cancot afford to hold their crops until they can command .-itis- faetory prices, anJ, besides, ihe com¬ petition with which they have to , contend is not wholly domestic. 1 he pi ices of their wheat is fixed in I.tver pool, and there they have to compete I M-. with a 4 I . I tbe Vt.i wheat n- a A * producers aOV nrtfi ISA? of t India 1 n /v - .. an 1 Rn«*ia. The trustv which are robbing them arc protected from ccm petition by the high protective tariff, and hence they meet »i;h some *ac- The farmer* are much more likely to be benefited by hating the tariff duties reduced so that they can get mant thing* which are r.ece^aries cheaper. If they can can get the prices of things they hare to buy re duced they will be just as well off as it they should get better price s for what they have toaeii. There s an other thing they can do. They can insist upoa legislation tl.at will de¬ stroy the trusts which oppress them* The development of their trus r scheme will be watched with great interest, but it is doabtful if confi¬ dence in ihe success of i! is very atrong. The Washington Post states edito riolly that the President seriously considered bnt two name*, those of Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Fuller, in con nection with the Chief Justiceship. It was deemed best that the country should not be deprived of the politi cal services of Mr. Carlisle, and this decision gave the pooitiou to Mr, Foller. It was probably the Goes* work Club which gave Mr. Phelps prominence. _ I Is a C arious Fac That the body is now more susceptible other to benefit from medicine than at dl anv sea¬ son.

(a i The Llama of South America. The llama is covered with a very fine silky hair or woo!, which is not shed like th»7 \A the camel, but when property cared for grow s to a length of from three to four inches. The finest is on the legs. Tito animal rarely produces more than one young at a time, the period of gesta¬ tion being six months, and it comes to maturity at three years of age. The In¬ dians are very fond <>f the meat, esteem¬ ing it beyond that of any other animal. They dry it in quantities, and they regard the soup made from it as a sovereign remedy in nearly all cases of sickness. At ordinary labor the llama will last for twelve years, but those which are used in the mines do not live longer than three or four years, in consequence of infirmity caused bv the sulphurous exhalations.— Consul Baker's lie port.

I remarked to my hostess that the boy showed signs of great promise. “Is he a pro¬ fessional?” I asked. “Oh! no,” said my hostess; “he's the eon of n gentleman!” The dear lady meant no offense, she only meant that the father was a man of means; but that she should have put it in the way she did and made the remark to the only professional in the room was, perhaps, unfortunate. Nervousness blurt some¬ times causes people to out most in¬ convenient truths, I arrived once at a house toeing at an “At Home.” My host was a very nervous, shy man. I remarked: “You have two grand, pianoa in your drawing rooms, I see.” Oh'— oh!—ye—yes!'' said my host. “We hired the one that's open for this after¬ noon. Sly wife said, ‘We can’t let Cor- ney Grain play on our llost pian->.’ Ha! ha! ha!” I laughed a hollow * -ha! ha! ha!" and went meekly to nay hired com¬ panion for the afternoon. Sometimes ladies sidle up and say in an undertone : “Be merciful, Mr. Grain, our piano is a new one.” “Oh! pray don't apologize,” 1 reply, “it’ll do well enough for my work.”—Murray's Magazine.

IOO Dor ao Dollar Diseases In the realm of disease the facts of la. herisan.-e are most numerous and are daily •ocumol&tlnf V-we. alas, they become ter- rible, fateful .-crwhelrnSug. No fact of nature Is jtv- -natit with awful mean¬ ing than th< f the Inheritance of disease. It n.- -• physician on his daily rounds, paralysing his art and filling him with dismay. The legend of the ancient Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing famine* from generation to generation, rendering them desolate. The Furies still ply their work of terror and death, but they are not now clothed in the garb of supersti¬ tion, but appear in the more intelligible but no less awful form of hereditary disease. Modern science, which has Illuminated so many dark corners of nature, has shed a new light on the ominous words of the Scripture*, “The sins of the fathers shall be Tisited Upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” Instances of hereditary disease abound. Fifty per cent, of cases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of fami¬ lies, of cancer and scrofula, run in families through inheritance. Insanity is hereditary In a marked degree, but, fortunately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the s’--'It becoming extinct. A distinguished identist truly says: “No organ or texture of the 1 - ,!y is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease.” Probably re re chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure an.l functions of the body, are mors or less liable to lie Inherited. The- important and rar-reachlng practical deductions from such facts—affecting so powerfully the happiness of individuals and families and the collective welfare of tbe nation—are obvious to reflec¬ ting minds, and tbo best means for prevent¬ ing or curing these diseases is a subject of Intense interest to all. Fortunately nature has provided a remedy, which experience has attested as Infallible, and the remedy is the world famous Swift's Specific, a pare vegetable compound—nature's antidote for all blood poisons.
