Agricultural Report.
WASHINGTON, Octobcr ft,
T1
ie report-of the Department of Ag
riculture tor October says the intlucncc
of drouth and the unusually low temper
attire of September has been unfavorable
to the ripening of fruits mid to the ma
turing of'corn and other crops. No gen
eral or serious damage has resulted to
corn, a large portion of the crop being
well advanced bv the high temperature
of August before frost appeared. The
drouth of midsummer has been almost
unbroken in the West up to the time of
these returns, interfering greatly with
the seeding of grain, and with the germ
ination and growth of what the farmer*
have been able to plant.
The present condition of corn, ex
pressed as a percentage, 100 representing
a good crop, is as follows About nn
average in New Hampshire of 111 in
Massachusetts of 10 i in Rhode Island
of 101 in Connecticut of 108 in New

One of the mo*t interesting ivenient*
rf modern time* is that now taking pi**-®
in Japan. Late letters to the. State Depart
ment. not yet niatle public, show that Gen
c.4i C.ti»ron. our recent C'»nmi-«ioner of
Agricujtnre. was most cordially received
bv the Jajane«e authorities: and it is:

reason to IK lieve that our jwople are irtit
jn»rtia!ly informed as to the magnitude of
that wcirk. and gfwnl ground for Mipposing
that his ap|ointnient is but one of a -cries
of important ejs contemplated by J^ie
reigning j.fiwers. The able law officer un
der Secretary Fish. Mr. E. Peshine Smith.
has Ix-en M-lected antl engagcl by the
Jajjanese Minister to aid his government
in tin serious and extensive treaty hu-inesw
of next summer and the Minister gives
assurance that it is the desire of his master
to modify the existing treaties in conformi
tv with advanced principles of interna
tlonal comity.
Previous to IMP* the country bad a dual i
head—political |K»wer wsis vested in the
Tvcoori, and-piritual |ower in the Mikado.
The revidution of that year resulted in the
overthrow of the Tyeoonaie, and the sov
ereign Jiuthority of the empire ha« sinc?
been in the hands of the Mikado. One of
his latest notaije acts was the£alxdition of
the Provincial Governors or feudal
Daimios, and the local authority heretofore
exercised by them has now been trans
ferred to the central ruler. Letter writers
for the daily press differ in their interpre
tation of the origin and significance of this
event, but that it means an advance
toward civilization and has the general
concurrence of the dispossessed Diiimios
i themselves, is asserted by our Minister 1
to Japan, as well a* by the Japanese i
Minister in Washington. 1 hose by!
whom it was resisted were among the
weaker memlM-rs of the order, and Mr. I
Mori says the Mikado w ill have little difli- i
culty in maintaining his position. That
the act ultimately tends to unification and i
the con:
olidation of the empire's resources
to good ends, is not doubted by such of'
our oflichds as are well enough advised to
form an unbiased and comprehensive
opinion.
The United States has already furnished
the Mikado with a considerable numlter of
agent-, :md we learn that several more are
quite likely to go out to Japan in the
spring. Tfiat other civilized nations man
ifest some jealousy at what seems our con
nection with that country, need not excite
any wonder but wc judge they will dis
covef that thev have no just cause of com
plaint when they ascertain the facts re
specting this connection. The President
and his adviser* are willing to give the
Mikado such moral and material siipjiort
as they properly can, but the State De
purtmcnt has done nothing more than to
further its matured purposes, comuiuni- i
catcd through Mr. Mori antl the engage- I
ment of Messrs. apron, Smith, and other
gentlemen, was the work of Mr. Mori I
himself, who applied to us in the first in- I
stance, as he states, beca'W his sovereign
thought he would lx- dealt with here fairly
and candidly, and without ulterior motive.
And we are confident that no such motive
has inlluenced the cour-c of the Depart
ment while the Japanese Minister ex
presses great satisfaction at the honorable
treatment lie has received.
But no person cognizant of flic situation
and advised its to the Mikado's desires and
intentions, can doubt that we arc to IK*
brought into clo.-er relations with Jupan
!hau:iny other nation has attained. That
country haw opened its ds«rs to modern
thought and aspiration, and, without
predisposition on our part, the United
States has become in some measure a con
fidential adviser. With the introduction
of the railroad and telegraph, the teach
ing of linglish from sch»ol-liooks pre
pared in America, the carrying thither of
liiimcm-e quantities of agricultural and me
chanical tools ide in the States, the
study of numerous official and scientific
publications went home by the legation
at Washington, the spread of information
gained by the various gentlemen of rank
and ability temporarily sojourning in our
chief cities—this great inflowing tide of

A Hovel Railroad.
A novel tramway or railroad lias been
lately built in Turkey, by an English en
I gineor, the propelling power of which is
not steam hut animal, horses or mules
being employed. A single rail is laid on
sleepers, and the carriage has whecla in
the ei-nter on the same longitudinal line.
Through the car runs a balancing pole,
the two ends of w hich, projecting three
feet or more, are secured to saddles on
i the backs of mules. The animals will
thus be one at eaeh side of the load in
stead of in front, as ordinarily. It would
i be impossible for the cart to turn over,
because in order to do so, it would have
'to force one mule to the ground and lift I
the other in the air uud, moreover as
the floor would only be six inches above
the rail, an overtip would be of no ac- i
I ?"otint. All the weight in the cart, if
ijfveiily distributed, would bear upon the
rail, and the animals, having no load on
their backs, would be able to exert con
sideruble traction power. The inVentor
^suggests its employment not only for
military purposes but also for trumwayn
in large cities and says that, where
space is very valuable, a bono* or mule
on only one Hide of the cart would In
sufficient. In towns, on bridges, and

fitted with a friction wheel on
either side, so that if a horse should fall
down, tlie balance of the carriage would
remain widistarbed.—(& atiow V*r

Vaccination and Disease.
The mo«t experienced vaccinators on
the fne
Land, and those
who
have had
the most io do with the treatment of in
fantile ailments on the other, agree in
the lejief that disease is not communi
cable bv vaccination. Mr. Marson. an
English pbv-k*ian. in the performance of
inore than "fifty thousand vaccinations,
has never ven other diseases commu
nic.tted with the vaccine disease, nor
doe«
he believe in the popular reports
that thev are so com nir. Rica ted." Mr.
Lees.wi/ose observation* wcrre'inally ex
tensive. has Imrne similar testimony.
Dr W. tenner, who in six vears had
some thirteen thousand sick adults and
children under observation, states "that
in no case had he reason to believe, or
even to suspect, that any constitutional
taint had been conveyed from one per
son to another by vaccination?" During
a period of seventeen yeafs Dr. West
treated twenty-six thousand infants and
children, with a like experience and
Prof. Paget, af'er an extensive familiar
ity with the diseases of children, expres
ses the opinion that the worst which can
be charged upon vaccinatum is that, by
disturbing for a time the general health,
jt may rarely give opportunity for the
external manifestation afbl complete ^ev
olution of some constitutional affection
v.S.i.'h, but for it. might have remained
rather longer latent.
Where every person in a community
has been properly vaccinated, there is
but little Hiance for smaIl-|iox to obtain
a foothold and it is also very certain
that the presence of the unvaccinated is
a standing invitation to the development
and spread of epidemics.
The
opponents
of vaccination, and a
*r jarger number who from ignorance
or carelessness neglect the precaution,
thus become, so far an the public health
i» concerned, a "dangerous class," which,
like other dangerous cla-ses, it is for the
interest of the community at large to re
move.—[November Galaxy.

Comets.
The apprfisch of Enckc's cornet to the
field of our vision w ill give interest to u
few remarks on these remarkable and ec
centric 1*.dies. Their extraordinary ap
JM-arancc caused tiicni to be regarded in
ancient rimes w-ith superstitious terror, and
•is prognostic at ions of war and other great
disasters. Their ominous aspect is height
ened by their visiting our part of the
heaven-
from
all din ctions, and crossing
the usual west to east course of the planets
at all possible angles. Moreover, the train
of faint light which they leave lehiiid
them is n substance so extremly thin that
the smallest star- may be seen brought it
and it is so slightly jK.ndcrable that the
proximity of u comet of 200.000,000 miles
in length seldom disturbs the equilibrium
of any body near which it may happen to
pilss.
But flint it lias weight we have evidence,
for the velocity of comets diminishes, a
fact which also determines that the ether
of illimitable space is a resisting medium,
sensible to a body of such inappreciable
tenuity. However, the matter in a comet
is so small in weight that the comet of
1770 was involved, as it were, amon^r Ju
piter's satellites for some months, w l'hout
any disturbance of either to the slightest
degree. The comet of the year 1770 is an
exception to this rule. In that vcar it was
seen to IM- moving in the usual elliptical
orbit, having a period of five and one-half
years. But on calculating its time, astron
omers found that it had passed very- near
the planet Jupiter, the attraction of which
immense body had disturled its course to
a remarkable degree, and this accounts for
its being unrecognized by the scientific
world, its period, previous to the pretur
hation, having lM*cn 48 years. It returned
to the sun in 1770, but was not visible to
us. Again, in 1779, it was so attacked by
the same planet that its orbit was changed
into one of 10 years, with a perihelion, or
nearest to the sun. distance of :J,00.000,000
miles and it has never since come to our
view. The period of revolution of Enckc's
comet has diminished, by about three
days, in KJ years, that Is, in about 25 rev
olutions.
The fjreat discovery that led to a com
prehension of the nature of the orbits of
comets was made bv I»r. Halley, that emi
nent astronomer asserting that the great
comet of the year 1(»K2 was identical with
those of 1007, 15:11. and 1450, and fore
telling its reappearance in 17o!. It was
retarded, however, between one and two
years, and reappeared in IH35. Its next
visitation w ill be in the year 1012, or there
abouts. History mentions appearances of
this comet as far buck as the year 11 B. C.
There is little reason to doubt that the
earth passed through the tail of the comet
of lsoi. Mr. J. R. Hind, the British
Astronomer Royal, predicted that the
transit would take place on Sunday, June
:«t,of that year, and Mr. Lowe, another Eng
lisli astronomer, reports that, on the even
ing of that day, "the sky had a yellow
auroral, glare-like look and the -un.
though shining, gave but feeble light.
The comet was plainly visible at 7:45 p.
in., during sunshine, while on subsequent
evenings it was not seen till an hour later.
In the parish church, the vicar had the
pulpit candles lighted at 7 o'clock which
proves that a sensation of darkness was
felt even while the sun was shining. The
comet itself had a much more hazv ap
pearancc than at any time after that even
nig."—[Scientific American.
