And to gather the ripe gold ears

American Institute Farmer’s
Club.
The regular weekly meeting of the Farm.
er’s Club of the American Institute, was
held on Tuesday week, in its rooms in the
Cooper Union, at 2 o’clock, p.1n., it being
the 37th anniversary of the Club.
The opening address was given by the
Hm. Nathan C. Ely, President of the
American Institute, and for sixteen years
President of the Farmers’ Club. Mr. Ely
said: '
_On this the 37th anniversary of the or—
ganization of the Farmers’ Club of the.
American Institute, I am requested to say;
something, or rather to deliver an address.§
I do not intend to have much to say and:
thereby occupy the limited time set for;
this, which should be a great “boom,” as:
great and stirring events are now called;
The time this club usually occupies in list.
weekly meetings (two hours) isgnot sufiici-g
cut to read an index of the work done in:
the thirty-seven years which have passed;
since the work was begun, and has, gone,
on steadily and with increasing usefulness.
Having held the position and high honor E
4 of the presidency of- this club for sixteen '
years, it is reasonable to expect that I
should take part and contribute something
towards this celebration, and lest I should
occupy more of the time than I should, and
thereby prevent the present ofiicers and ac-
tive members of the club from taking the
part in the proceedings which is expected of
them, I have this morning put down the
little I have to say on paper. - This club was
organized by members of the American
Institute, and was,~I believe, the first organ-
ization of the kind in this country. All honor
to those eminent members of the American
Institute who set this most important or-
ganization in motion, and by their attendance
and efforts planted it so firmly that it has
survived all efiorts to stop or retard its in-
fluence for good, which, from, the; begin-
ning, ”has been gratefully acknowledged
by every agricultural: locality/afi'om the
Atlantic .to the Pacific‘and from" Maine to
Texas,-aud from _beyoiid'th'e‘ bounds of our
States and Territories. The-names {of some
of the eminent men who were the founders
of this club should ‘he mentioned on this
occasion, and although the time is so limited
and several are ’expected to take part in
these proceedings. I will mention a few of
the illustrious names, I and _a million others
are so“ much. indebted to. Hon. Henry;
Meigs (and here let me say he was a clerk
in a Court held in the old. Almshouse build—
ing that stood on Chambers street, where
the great marble Court' House, book 0 f the
City Hall, now stands, and was of a wonder-
ful presence and, solemn voice, and adminis-
tered to me the first official oathI'ever took.)
Hon. T. B. Wakeman, Hon. James Tal-
madge, and, soon after, ProfessOr Mapes,
Judge VanWyck, R. I. Fell, L. G. Morris,
MartinE. Thompson, (the first man who
invited me to visit this club.) Alanson
Nash, n. Chandlier, Benj. Pike, and many
others. were then active members. This
brings the date up to- about 1850. But not
to Weary your patience, I pass eight or ten
years and find added, and most earnest
workers for the club, A. S. Fuller, R. G.
vPardee, J. G. Beroen, Mr. Lawton of
blackberry celebrity, Horace Greeley, Dr. ,
J. P. Trimble, Solon Robinson, Burgess,
Sr. and Jr., Rev. Mr. Campbell, Hon.
Hugh Maxwell, Dr. Grant, A. M. Powell,
Dr. Holton, Mr. Bruen, and many others.
A year or two later a full representation
from the newspaper press and agricultural
publications, whose publishers found their
readers demanded, and that it was for their
interest to publish the weekly proceedings
of this Farmers' Club, and it is due to those
representatives of the papers to say, they
were for many years the staunchest and
most valued members of the club— Mr.
Blagden, Mr. Lyman, Mr. Meeker, all dead
(the latter recently killed by Indians) Col-
onel Weld and 1' S. Edward Todd, also Pro-
fessor P. E. Cotton and several others whose
names will occur to you. A few years later,
as now, the active members were so num-
erous I could not ask you to give your at-‘
' tention to the reading of their names. I
must, however, add that in sixteen yearsI
presided as president, I accorded to the late-
ly deceased Dr. J. V. C. Smith, the highest _
honor for the many addresses and the nu—
equalled interest hei imparted to the Club
for so long a term of years. Most I think
of those I have mentioned are dead—they
have finished theirEwork, and are.I trust.
enjoying the reward their good words and
works will surely give to them. Scores and
scores should receive honorable mentiou for
what they have done for the Club. From the
organization of the Club to this day its ef-
fects have been constant to aid. and in every
way to encourage the manufacturing of
agricultural implements and all devices to
relieve human :labor, to gratuitously dis-
tribute all kinds of seeds, roots, grafts, and
I am within the bounds of truth when I say
the papers of flower seeds that were sent all
over the coufiry during my official connec-
tion with the Club, mostly to the Western
States and Territories, would be counted by
the tens of thousands. From the Rev. .
Samuel Griswold, of Old Saybrock. Conn.,
this Club has received more than ten thousand
parcels of flower seeds. This good man
has gone to his eternal reward. These flow-
‘ er seeds were sent to gladden the hearts and
beautify the homes of thousands. I have in
the years that have passed received a great
many letters from the young-wife, who had
left the old home surrounded with comforts
which her ancestdrs had gathered and had
began a new home in the West, with so many
privatlons as are always to be found in the
beginning of the new unsettled region, de-
scribing the beauty of the flewers, and how
much it added to her log cabin home, and
thanking the Club, with earnest prayer for
its continued usefulness. And garden seeds
distributed in years past in large quantities.
But these distant Western homes,,by the
aid of railroads. are brought near, and the
vast increase in the settlement of our West-
ern States and Territories, have within the
past 10 or 15 years changed the condi—
tions which formerly surrounded the new
settlers.
Now the new settlers go in an easy man-
ner by railroad, or by water; often- in
numbers sufiiCient to make a village, and
take with them or procure from the large
cities or towns on the way, all that is neces-
sary for a comfortable start. Hence there
is less set this Club to do in these respects
than in the first .5 or 30 years. But for all
in time to come, there will be plenty to do,
by all who are willing to serve and help
others freely, gratuitously, and may I not
say lovingly, and as it has been the work of
this Club, without money and without price.
May none of us falter in our efforts to add
to the comfort and happ'ness of the human
family. 1 have already ta en more than my
share of the time, and will only add that
the benefits derived from ,the work of this
Club will go on long. after we have finished
our work in this world.
It would be interesting to recount and
speak of the long efforts,time and time ngain,
made by members of this Club,and continued-
year after year, as to the best way to git rid
of the curculio, as to the advantages and dis-
advantages of deep and shallow plow1ng,and
if it was possible to destroy the Colorado
potato bug, by boiling or burning, and the
potato rot—all of which subjects have caused
many an excursion often times hundreds of
miles by members of this Club, and then at
subseduent meetingsto give the resultfoftcn

plements, and ‘the mode of cultivation of
crops, and [then through the weekly press
put the result before millions of readers.
Finally, I have said little as to my connec-
tion- with this Club,——my modesty,_. so 7well
to the Presidency of the American Institute
three years ago. and for each year‘sinCe hav -
ing been reelected, I have not V taken much
part in the proceedings of the Club. On
leaving the position as your President, I had
the satisfaction to know it was left in good‘
and able hands, and my earnest wish and
prayer is that you who are in the prime of
life will exert your best efforts to continue
the usefulness of the Club, and, when your
work is ended,you may receive the reward of
the just.
Dr. A. S. Heath, president of the Club,
gave some good ideas for farmer's digestion.
.WEST STRATFORD.
[Crowded over from last twee/la]
The old saying, “if March comes in like a
lamb it will go out like a lion,” seems to
have been verified during the week just
passed. “Fast Day" passed off in a very
quiet'manner, beyond the usual appropriate
services, in the churches nothing of more
than passing note took place, unless an ce-
casional drunk be excepted, but to some,
holidays seem to be created for the purpose
of allowing them to get drunk and abuse
Hon. John L. Wessells of Bridgeport, has
declined a re—nominatioa for mayor tendered
him by the Republicans. His administration
of the office of Mayor during the past year
has been a success in every ~ respect, and he
has won the gratitude of his political enemies
as well as his political friends by his fair
and impartial course in the Common Coun-
cil. If he could be induced to. accept a
re-nomination we think his election would
be sure as many democrats would vote for
him in preference to men of their own party
who have been named for the ofiice.
A lively family row is in progress among
the democrats 'of Bridgeport. The Irish
element of the party claim to have been
hewers of wood .and drawers of water long
enough, and now they want a hand in the
division ofthe spoils, in other words, they
want a share of the oflices. It will not do
for the party leaders to ignore their claims,
and they are in a quandary as to what can be
done.‘ Curses not loud but deep are heard
among democrats because they allowed Mr.
Sexton to go to the Legislature, when a few
votes would have defeated him. He is now
foremost in advocatingt he claims of Irish-
men for ofiice, and who can blame him, if he
is, for without. the Irish vote what would
this latter day democracy amount to. h
It seems to be pretty generally understood
that Francis P. Norman will receive the
democratic nomination for Town Clerk—it
is fitting that he should, for he {possesses all
the characteristics of the modern order of de-
mocracy. We gave a description of hip: a
year ago in these columns, but will now do
again in a short way. He was a cle rk under
E. Allen Parrott, when the latter named
person held the ofiice of Town Clerk some
ten or twelve years ago. M-r. Parrott Was
a republican,-and so was Mr. Norman at that
time. ’=, Mr. Parrot died in ofi’lce, and Mr.
.N0rmanthinking it was a good chance for
5 him to secure the ofilce. went over to the
:democrats- and was elected every year in
succession till last spring, when W. C. Wild-
man a rising young democratic lawyer, and
_other democrats defeated him. Mr. Norman
had grown so great in office that to use a
common expression, "You could not touch
,him witha ten foot pole,” hence the op-
position of his- own party. . . e have
heard during the past week that W.‘ C.
-Wildman did not amount to much anyway,
Ewell, perhaps he don’t, but if Mr. Norman
:is nominated our democratic friends will find
:him an‘ . important factor. in: the problem.
'No doubt a certainrepublican will be speak-
ing to his friends to vote for‘his “boy,’_’ but
they wont do it, “not _for Peter” or Frank
either. W.

LipriNoor'r‘s MAGAZINE—The Xth Chap-
ter of Dr. Oswald’s “Summerland Sketches,”
which is the opening paper in Lippincott’s
Magazine for April, describes the ruins of
Uxmal, that mysterious buried’ city of the
New World, which attests the existence, at
some former period, of. a race of builders on
this Continent rivalling those of Nineveh in
the grandeur of their design, in mechanical
skill, and in amplitude of means." “Three
.Lakes of Central New York” is a pleasantly
written and well illustrated article, by Frank
H. Taylor. Mrs. Mary Treat describes “A
Phase of Life in Florida.” Dr. R. Osgood
Mason has an instructive article “Concern-
ing Animalcules. Dr. Dulles gives practical
suggestions about “Eating ;" and an anony—
mous writer gives an accOunt of “The Red
Cock,” the name applied to successive revo—
lutionary outbreaks of the Russian peasantry
In the way of fiction this number contains
a fresh instalment of “Adam and Eve," short
stories by Sherwood Bonner and Mrs. Lizzie
W. Champney; and a story of Russian life

. The North American Review for April has
for its leading article a paper entitled “Me
Clellan‘s Last' Service to _the Republic,”
which covers the whole period of McClel—
lan's military career, from the flank move—
ment to the James to the battle of Antietam.
It is intended to vindicate the General against
the charge that lie was over-cautious and con,
taius many statements of uninteresting char-
acter. Sir Francis Hincks contributes a
paper on the “Relations of Canada with the
United States.” The Rev. David Swing
Writes about the “Failure of the Southern
Pulpit." According to him, the Southern
_Pulpit is without influence on public opinion
in the South. The discussion ofthe Third
Term question, begun inthe February num—
ber of the Review, is continued in the pres-
ent number by the Hon. George S. Boutwell,
Who insists that, whatever may have been
the practice and the‘ teaching of “the Fath-
ers" with respect to the third term, circum-
stances make it in the highest degree expedi-
eiit that General Grant be, again elected to
the presidency. , '
.Wmii AWAKE for April has a seasonable
frontispiece, “On Easter Morning.” Then
follows Part II. of “Billy's Hound,” one of
the best dog-uud-boy stories written ; for the
boys,also,is “A Ride on a Centaur.” A funny
story for the little elder sisters, is “Brother
for Sale.” The paper on “Our American
Artists” is about Thomas Hill, illustrated by
a portrait,and two fine examples of Mr. Hill’s
paintings. “Concord Picnic Days” gives the
school-boys directions for a new game, called
the "Tug of War.”

A Norwegian, Ernest Frolich, thinks he
has found in the Indian rice of American
swamps a living proof of the truth of Snorre
Sturlsoris history of Leif Ericsson’s visits to
this country nearly nine~hundred years ago.
The voyagers reported finding in Vinland,
not only an abundance of wild grapes but
also a kind of grain which Mr. Frolich be:
lieves to have been the Indian rice, or wild
rye. It grows plentifully in swampy local—
ities, as did the grain described by Eric-
son.
In a_recent lecture in London, Professor
Graham advised all who' must smoke to do
so on the German plan—that is, without ex—
pectoration. This becomes easy when the
tobacco, used is thoroughly dried, asthen
only a comparatively small quantity of
creosote and the tarry products of combina—
tiou collect in the mouth. Salvia performs
an important part in digestion processes, and
its supply should be husbanded. _
Herr Fischer thinks the extensive planting

would prove much moreeflectual in re-

fertility than the proposed inland sea in

“It is singular,” says Mr. Proctor, “how
strongly some errors retain their hold on
men's minds. When Madler announced his
relief that Alcyone, the chief star of his
Pleiades, is the central star of the universe,
that the stellar system, like the solar system
revolvesaround a centre. Yet astronomers
know perfectly wall that the evidence on
which Madler based his theory was exceed—
ingly feeble. * * '* I believe that no as-
tronomer of repute ,would now venture to
maintain the theory that Alcyone is the
central sun of the stellar system ; while
scarce any, if any, would maintain that
there is any central sun at all. Yet I find
that not only is the belief still widely spread
among the general public that Alcyone is
the central sun, but that this theory excites
far more interest than most of the real discov
cries, interesting though they are,Which have
been made during the last half century.
.It has been found that a larger amount of
ammonia exists in the atmosphere when an

The researches of Dr. Bollinger show that
the milk of cows‘sufiering from tubular dis-
ease may communicate the affection to human
beings. As five per cent. of cows advanced
in life suffer from this disease, the doctor
believes the danger to be considerable. Boil-
ing the milk is not a safeguard.‘
Dr. C. W. Siemens finds by experiment
that the electric light and‘siinlight produce
practically the same effect upon plant
growth. He shows, furthermore, that a
remarkable increase of growth may be ef-
fected by exposing plant growing in day—
light to the additional actinic energy of the
electric light at night—his investigations
seeming to indicate that plants require no
period of rest during the twenty—four hours
of the day. The heat radiated from power—
ful electric arcs can be turned to account as
protection against night frosts. Electricity
may be produced at moderate expense where
waterfalls are avarlable as motive power, and
it may prove a valuable ally to future horti-
culturists.
Mr. Hanny’s diamonds are 'produced by
the freezing of carbon from a hydrocarbon
—by means of the affinity of the hydrogen
for certain metals at a high temperature—in
der_the conditions of a red heat and great
pressure.” The action of the nitrogen com-
pound causes the carbon to crystallize. The
pressure required is enormous, and forms
the great difficulty of manufacturing carbon
crystals by this process. Tubes, constructed
on the gun-barrel principle, of only half an
ince bore and an external diameter of four
inches, are tormopen in nine cases out often.
An exchange inquires for the exact position
of the Transcript on theGrant question. It
can have it,wilhout a particle of hesitation or
equivocatiou. Gen. Grant is without question
the fittest public man in the United States for
that position. Not a trait of his character is
against it, but all for it. The errors of his
first administ ion were never from moral
causes beyou his inexperience, and he has
everywhere and everyway Tshoue himself
always above thesmall obsiinacy of not con
fessing and correcting his mistakes. Then his
personal character in ,all other respects is
above criticism, while his large observation
and his magnificent common sense lift him
up to the truest stateman-sbip. The man who
says he'is apartisan or could be made one,
speaks Without book. He is freer to—day of
those qualities that make the position-danger-
ous, and has more of the virtues that ennoble
a man in it, than any other titled American.
But there is a sort of a traditionary law, (not
well defined however.)against the third term
notion; and therefore, if the public mind
could select some other fit Republican for the
place, it would be to our thinking. This
opinion is not given because we think it of
importance. but simply to meet an occasional
question. We will add, it is the scandalous
attacks on the fair fame and name of ex-
President Grant, that makes such multitudes
defend him—Derby Transmpt.
Just as to a dot Mr. Bacon, you have
put the whole thing into a nut-shell and at
the same time clear and concise.

Celebrated
In purchasing a. Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
1st. Our “PATENT Ixsmn BOLT WORK”
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im—
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides_
losing the use cf'the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a. thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR—VVHEEL LOCKS on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED meme,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling Without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature. of our filling, pre—
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES Instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a. complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
that were successful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, Which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

“IT WAS THE CAT.”
When aroused from medit’ation
By some noisy disturbation
’Tis one’s natural inclination
To exclaim: “Oh, what was that ?”
At first you’re all confusion,
Then you think it a delusion
That it'must have been the cat
When a father overhbaring .
A farewell in terms endearing
’Twixt a young man, disppearing,
And his daughter, thinks it pat
To demand an explanation
Of that sound like osculation,
She replies, with hesitation,
That it must have been the cat.
When at midnight, sounds appaling .
Like the noises of some one falling,
And a voice in anguish calling,
Makes your heart go pit—a-pat,
You're sure it's burglars breaking
In your door, and you lie quaking
And shivering and shaking,
When it only is the cat.

A J oke on :1. Bishop.
A good story is told of well—known Epis-
copal bishop. .Thc bishop is a very staid,
glum sort of a good man, and the last one in
the world to enjoy a joke, especially one on
himself. A waggish friend meeting him the
other day in a car,astonished him by exclaim-
ing, after a reference to his High Church
principles.
. "Why, Bishop, I hear that on Easter you
appear in your pulpit with a crown and a
palm.”
“What! " exclaimed the bishop in aston—
ishment. “Nonsense! You know better."
“Yes,” replied the other, “with a crown on
your head and a palm in your hand."
“It is a libel! Who could have started such
a story 1’” responded the distinguished prelate
warmly. “But, pshaw 1 it is idle to talk
about it; it is so absurd.”
The conversation was changed, but the
bishop didmct forget his friend’s word; they
preyed on his mind and worried him; he was
afraid the libelous,atrccious report would get
into the papers, and then it would become a
popularly accepted feet, which there would
be no denying.
He sought for his friend the‘next day at
his office, for the purpose of learning the
origin of the outrageous story; but the other,
who is considerable of a wa’g, sorely vexed
the spirit of the accomplished prelate before
he would make any satisfactory explanation,
and then, with a laugh and a twinkle of the
eye, he exclaimed :
“Why, Bishop, haven’t you a crown to
your head, and a palm to your hand? See f”
The bishop was so much pleased with the
explanation that he succeeded in raising a
laugh, though the expression of fierce solem-
nity that settled on his features, as he left
shortly after, leads his friend to believe that
he did not thoroughly enjoy the joke.

What She Had L—ost.
Some funnyincidents occur on the night
cars on the Bellefontaine Railway, and not
the least droll among these recently was
, what followed the advent, on the ten minu—
tes to two car. of a vigorous lady, who with
her husband, had‘evidently been making a
late visit at the house of some friends. She
was a stalwart, aggressive female, in rather
striking personal contrast to her milk and
watery looking husband; and as soon as she
had taken her seat she thrust be head for-
ward and began a careful scrutiny of the
face of a lady on the opposite side of the
car. She evidently knew (or thought she
knew) the name of the person she was star-
ing at. Finally, unable to restrain herself
any longer, she asked: -
“Ain’t you Mary Slawson, that was ?”
The lady addressed replied that she form—
erly bore the name given, though she had
been married since.
“And don’t you remember me? We used
to live close by you, you know 1’”
“Oh, yes; I remember you well.”
“Ah, I thought you would. Well, I’ve lost”
my daughter Sarah since I knew you.”
“Indeed, I’m sorry to hear that.”
“Yes; and J ohn—you remember John P
—well, he’s lost a leg.”
“That is very bad, I’m sure.”
“Yes; had it cut 011 by the ears; and my
daughter Jane, she lost her husband.”
“That is too bad.”
“Yes; and Henry-you remember my son
Henry ?—heJost his place,”
“That is unfortunate, certainly.”
“Oh,JL’s real mean; and I’ve lost almost
all my teeth.”
“I hadn’t noticed it, I'm sure.” -
“That’s because I’ve got new ones,but I’ve
-lost ’m just the same; and my husband, he’s
lost most of his hair.”
The lady on the other side' of the car had
exhausted her stock of sympathetic expres-
sions, and said nothing. The lady who had
lost so much in one way or :another, leaned
back in her place, beaming with satisfaction
and self-sufficiency. She had evidently a
friend.
