MAGAZINES FOR JUNE. 
Scribner’s Montht.y Is well Illustrated Jn the 
June number, and appeals to a wide range of liter¬ 
ary taste. For lovers of light reading there are 
papers on “ Rocky Mountain Nights" (both poeti¬ 
cal and practical); “Spring Hereabouts.” i. e., 
in New York and suburbs, with Illustrations; 
“ Thackeray as a Draughtsman.” with over thirty 
reproductions of the novelist’s sketches; “ Life In 
Florence,” a sprightly paper from an American 
point of view; “My Friend, Mrs. Angel,” a hu¬ 
morous story of Washington life. The current 
political interest Is appealed to by II. J. Ray¬ 
mond’s Journal of “ Tho Philadelphia Convention 
of 1866 ,” and Henry King's picturesque sketch of 
“ A Year of the Exodus In Kansas,” and Indirectly 
by Principal Grant’s third paper on “The Do¬ 
minion of Canada.” Other papers, more solid and 
of a curious Interest, arc Mr. Scudder’s paper on 
“ William Blake. Poet and Painter,” with portrait 
Illustrations, including “ The Chariot of Fire," 
and others never before engraved; Rev. Isaac H, 
Hall’s account of “The Cypriote Inscriptions,” 
the specimens of which in the Metropolitan Muse¬ 
um were deciphered by him; and Richard A. 
Proctor’s “Sunspots and Financial Panics.” an 
Intended refutation of Professor Stanley Jevon's 
elaborate theories, based on a former playful sug¬ 
gestion by Professor Proctor that these two phe¬ 
nomena are Intimately connected. The re-appear¬ 
ance of the sun-spots, and the recent rumors ol a 
financial panic., give interest to this paper. Schuy¬ 
ler’s “ Peter the Great” Is Interestingly Illustrated, 
and deals with Peter’s first marriage, the admin¬ 
istration of Sophia, the eternal peace with Poland, 
old Russian sports, etc, etc. Mr. cable’B “ Grand- 
lsslmes” Is rapidly justifying the high claims 
made for it by tne publishers. This Installment 
Is said to be the most dramatic In the story, pos¬ 
sibly excepting the episode of Bras-Coupe and the 
closing part. The departments contain many 
articles of special or timely Interest, such as “ The 
Political Machine,” “The Shadow of the Negro,’’ 
“ Beaconsfleld and Gladstone," “ Letters to Young 
Mothers,” a review of “ The Art Season,” “ Steam 
Catamaran.” “ Seamless Paper Boxes,” “ Cheap 
Ventilation,” “The Phonograph In the Moon two 
Centuries ago,” Recent Books of Travel, Fiction, 
“Regenerative Gas-Lighting,” “The Culture of 
the Rose,” etc., etc. 
Domestic Monthly.— With the arrival of warm 
weather, and the probable approach of still 
warmer weather, the Domestic Monthly presents 
Its attractive list of fashionable, useful and In¬ 
dispensable novelties appropriate to the season. 
In the literary department a new serial entitled 
“ Bertlne; an Episode, ”by Ellis Conway, Is begun- 
Among the other authors represented oy contri¬ 
butions In prose or verse, are Mrs. Merlghl, Mrs. 
Howell. Howard Glyndon, Florence B. Getchell 
and others.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
China Is rapidly recovering from the terrible 
effects of the last famine, and the population Is 
showing signs of once more being able to purchase 
foreign produce.... The wheat crop of Australia 
harvested In January, i 860 , was at first estimated 
at50u,ooo tons, then at 400,000. The latest advices 
from that colony state that there were 1,480,000 
acres of laud under wheat, with an average yield 
or about 11 bushels per acre, which would give a 
gross outturn of 16 , 280,000 bushels, by far the 
largest quantity ever produced In a single season 
In the colony. Dcduollng from this the require¬ 
ment for seed and home consumption, say for seed¬ 
ing 1 , 600,000 acres, and 5 bushels per capita for 
257,ouo population, will take 1 ,325,000 bushels for 
food, or lor food and seed 2,915,000 bushels, leaving 
a surplus ot 13,316,000 bushels for export.... 
This represents 361,500 tons shipping measurement, 
2,240 pounds to the ton. About 3,912,400 bushels of 
the new crop had been shipped up to the 1 st of

the prospect for fruit this year throughout the 
entire western part of Ontario la the best for many 
years. Orchards are, as a rule, one mass of blos¬ 
som ; and should they escape rrost for the next 
two weeks, the crop will undoubtedly he a large

shire (England) farmer writes to the Mark Lane 
Express: “ Hundreds of farmers have lost the 
whole of their flocks of shtep. H has been one ol 
the most disastrous seasons (for sheep) ever expe¬ 
rienced.’’.The condition of the mohair flocks 
all over Asia Minor some weeks ago caused the 
greatest concern. The intense cold (the snow In 
many places having been four to six feet deep, 
and rendering It Impossible to reach the anlmalR , 
was causing the death of hundreds of thousands. 
Angora and two other districts reported a loss of 30 
per cent., and the mortality was continuing.

marriage rate was lower in the last quarter of 
1879 than In any since civil registration was es¬

of Paris to allow them the exclusive privilege 
for 50 years of cultivating “ market truck” on the 
entire extent of the fortifications and in the ditches 
at the foot of the ramparts. These market gar> 
deners estimate that It, will cost them about 300.- 
000 francs and a year's hard labor to put the forti¬ 
fications In a good state of cultivation. They offer 
to pay a rent ot 100.000 francs per year for this 
privilege, provided the concession shall continue 
for 50 years. It appears (hat this piece of ground, 
having a total length of over 33 miles, could be 
made to produce alone more vegetables than all 
the market gardens of Paris.Telegrams Just 
received from Non hern Texas tall ot the entire 
destruction of the thriving town of Bonham by a

and stock have been much injured.One day 
of Maj remains, and the Immigrant arrivals at 
Castle Garden up to Saturday night had already 
reached the enormous total of 53.497 for the month. 
When April showed an aggregate arrival of 46.821 
immigrants the result was deemed extraordinary, 
as indeed It was, since the number for April of 
last year had been but 11,601. Yet May has already 
far outdoce the record or last month.Mr. 
Henry G. Vennor comes forward again with his 
direful prophecies ol storms, heat, cold, &c. nis 
letter Is dated at Montreal, May 18, and In It he 
says: “1 believe that June will he auIntensely 
hot month, and probably the ' 1 st or June’ will be 
fall-llke, with frost again. July will be a terrible 
month for storms, with terms of intense heat, but 
another fall-llke- relapse, with frosts, will, In all 
likelihood, occur a few days before the 20 th. I 
fear the storms ot thunder and hall will be ot unu¬ 
sual severity during July. 1 must claim the veri¬ 
fication of my prediction relative to a cold wave, 
with frosts, over *a large portion of the United 
States between the loth and 16th ol' May.’ The 
relapse toward the close of the present month 
(May) will be more severe than that just past.”

Around tlie World. 
A fame that Is world-wide and acquired m the 
short space of a few years, must have true merit 
for Its support. Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines 
have gained such fame and the foreign orders for 
his Golden Medical Discovery—the greatest blood- 
purifier of the age, for his Pleasant Purgative Pel¬ 
lets (Uttle sugar-coated pills), and other remedies 
became so great, that a branch of the World’s Dis¬ 
pensary has been established lu London, England, 
for their manufacture. From this depot they are 
shipped to every part ot Eur ope, and to the East 
Indies, China and Japan, and other countries. 
Their sale In both North and South America Is 
perfectly enormous and Increases yearly. World s

Dr, R. V. Pierce : 
Dear Sir —I take pleasure In writing my testi¬ 
mony with others In regard to your valuable medi¬ 
cine. For a Long time I have suffered from disease 
of the lungs and until I used your Discovery found 
nothing that did me any good. Thanks to It, I am 
relieved and recommend It to all. 
Yours truly, MARY KENNEL.

A Man takes to Himself the Credit of a Valuable 
Discovery Made by an Old Lady, 
In the columns of this paper there appears an 
advertisement of a very valuable remedy said to 
be the first absolute cure for diseases ot the kid¬ 
neys and bladder, under the name ot IfRy's Kid¬ 
ney Pad, which was discovered by a Mrs. Burton, 
and first used by her in curing Qllver c. Day of an 
affection of the kidneys, that had become so ma¬ 
lignant that physicians pronounced him Incura¬ 
ble. And now, while great .credit is certainly due 
to Mr. Day for his efforts lu bringing before the 
public this wonderful remedy, would It not have 
been more appropriate to nave attached the name 
of the actual discoverer to this excellent remedy, 
and given to her, to whom he owes his life, the 
prominence and credit he now enjoys ?

Why Wear Flusters? 
They may relieve, but they can’t cure tnat lame 
back, for the kidneys are the trouble and you 
want a remedy to act directly on their secretions, 
to purify and restore their healthy condition. 
Kidney-Wort has that specific action.

Wool. 
The Cincinnati Price Current of May 27th says: 
—Continued dullness in the Eastern markets and 
the Inability of dealers here to realize on. their re- 
cenr purchases, or uven cost on their early tak¬ 
ings, is having a depressive effect on the market 
here, and prices have suffered a further decliue 
of 2c per pound on tine, medium and delaine, 
fleece, washed and pulled Wool, audio on medium 
clothing- long combing and detain'- unwashed. 
The offerings from producers have largely increas¬ 
ed In Southern and Central Ohio, and Lu fact Irom 
nearly all sections tributary to this market. Deal¬ 
ers at present seem to be “all at sea" about the 
future course of the market. They did not expect 
to see prices go so low as they hava done, and now 
there Is nothing to prevent a rurther decline if 
manufacturers continue to hold off, as they seem 
dlsjawed to do. Dealers seem to feel that they are 
working In tho dark, but they are disposed to fol¬ 
low the market, trusting that the average cost 
will be low enough for a final outcome. They are 
carrying nearly all the stock which they have 
bought this season. Perhaps it Is tho best policy 
for manufacturers to pursue to let others carry 
tho Wool until they want It, us the shrinkage is 
no Inconsiderable item, but it Is In marked con¬ 
trast to the course they took hist year. We give 
revised quotations.
