Our worthy contempo rary sees the languishing condi tion of agriculture and abicribes it largely to the robbing of the people by taxation under the form of law. This is true, but if the towns, rail roads, manufactures, banks and all speculative enterprises flourish so prosperously and agriculture lan guishes under the same laws im posing these taxes, this is but an other proof that something is radi cally wrong.

(Ueiueus (Mark Twain,) delivered the lollowing characteristic address : I will detain you with only just a tew words just a lew thousand words, and then give place to a better man it he has just been created. Lately a great and hon ored author, Matthew Arnold, has been finding fault with General Grant's English. That would Im- fair enough, may be, if the ex amples of imperfect English averaged more instances to the page in General Grant's book than they do in Mr. Arnold's criticism upon the book, but tbey don't. Jt would be fair enough, may be. if such instances were commoner in General Grant's book than they are in the works ot the average stan dard author, but they aren't. In truth, General Grant's derelictions in the matter of grammar and con struction am not more frequent than are such derelictions in the works of a majority of the pro fessional authors of our time and of all previous times authors as ex-1 clnsively and painstakingly trained to the literary trade as was Gen. Grant to the trade of war. This is not a random statement; it is a fact, and easily demonstrable. 1 have a book called 'Modern Eng lis Literature, Its BleniUhes and Defects,' by Ilenxy II. Breen, V. A. S., a countryman of Mr. Arnold. In it 1 find examples of bad gram mar and slovenly English from the pens of Sidney Smith, Sheridan, llallam, Thateley, Carlyle, both Disraelis, Allison, Juoias. Blaif, Macaulay, Shakespeare, Milton, Gibbon, Southey, Bulwer, Cobbett, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Trench, Lamb, Landor, Smollet, Walpole, Walker, (Of the dictionary), Christopher Hortb, Kirke White, Mrs.Btgour- ney, Benjamin Franklin, Walter Scott, anil Mr. Lindley Murray, wno mane tne grammar. In Mr. Arnold's paper on Gen. Grant's book we find a couple of grammati cal crimes and more than several examples of very cmde and sloven ly English enough of them to en title him to a lofty place in that illustrious list of delinquents jost named, ihe lollowing passage, all by itself, ought to elect him: 'Meade suggested to Grant that he might wish to hare immediately under him Sherman, who had been ser ving with urant in the West. He begged him. not to hesitate if he thought it good for the service. Grant assured him that be bad no thought of moving him, and is bis memoirs, after relating what had passed, he adds,' &c. To read that passage a couple of times would make a man dltzy 7 to read It four times would make ; him dronk.' General Grant's grammar, is t as good as anybody's ; bat if this were, not so, Mr, Breen would brash that U con sequential fact aside and butt his great book for fat bigber came. Mr. Breen makes this , 'discriminate lair rem ark 9 To Burmese that be-1 cause man is poei tof .historian i he most be correct In bis" grammar la to soppose that an architect must 09 a joiner or a dutkicikd - a com- pbnndexbfmedieineA' Mr.Breen's point is well taken.

All soils need to have the water artificially removed. The water may come solely from the rains; it may come from rain and water flowing from higher ground, or it may come np in springs from beneath the land it self. If it comes from other ground, that source should te cat off by ditches and the water conducted away. If it comes from springs, they should be found and the water from them conducted away, either in open ditches or in deep-laid covered ones, which are better, be cause the surface of the field may then be left smooth. Such land will usually be found to be soft upon the top, covered with a growth of sedge and other coarse plants, , and lacking a good outlet for the ! water. Besides, just below the sur face there is often found a stratum of sand and clay almost impervious to water, which compels all the water to How off over the surface, or remain where it ia. To reclaim each bind, the first thing is to find a favorable outflow for the water. This should be not less than four or five feet below the general sur face of the field, but we often hare to accept such an outlet as wecaa get American Agriculturist. JUoefe. Oat r raiaaa.
