AN EDITOR « ADVANCING BOLDLY TO THE CHARGE."
— Thousands or oar readers have either sighed or snickered over scenes in the life of Shakspeare's " Moor of
Venice; hundreds of others have probably perused
the 'melodious meanderings" of Tom Moore, the
poet; but few of them, perhaps, have yet scanned the
most affecting and pocket-stutine production of the
hiodern Moore-D. D. T. MOORE, editor of that excellent farming and family newspaper, the RURAL NEWYORKER. In his last issue, that robust but ruthless
rustic rushes from the sylvan scenes of " rural felicity"
m which his sanctum is situated, and—" advancing
tool^aiv to the charge "-regardless of the feelings of
forty [fifty] thousand subscribers, he takes up his pen,5
" lays down the law," and " hits the nail on the head/
in tne iollowtng sledge-hammer fashion:

sustain us. well; if not, we can better afford to lose
twenty, thirty, or forty thousand subscribers than to
publish at a loss. When we can give lower terms, or
club rates, they will be announced. Meantime all
moneys received on subscription will be credited at the
above rate."
We emphatically recommend the RURAL NEWYORKER—at its present price—as being the cheapest
agricultural journal published weekly in this country.
It is not possible for farmers, stock-breeders, makers of
farm implements, etc., to more profitably invest $3 in
the literary line than by subscribing for the above
named journal.—American Artisan.
— On reading the first paragraph of the above we
thought perhaps the writer was inclined to be facetious
at oar expense, but the conclusion is so sound and
sensible, as well as timely and truthrul, that we overlook our friend's classically humorous exordium. Being one of the " craft" he of course knows whereof he
affirms as to the comparative cheapness of newspapers
—for he can judge far better,than an outsider in regard
to the first cost of producing a journal containing such
quality, quantity and variety of reading as does the
RURAL NEW-YORKER.
The truth is, we expend
thousands of dollars more than any other Agricultural
and Family weekly for contributions, engravings, etc.,
and give far more reading matter than most of them.
And while we generally limit our advertising department to a few columns — thus excluding therefrom
many matters which would pay well and largely—
some of our agricultural contemporaries give from
twelve to twenty columns of advertisements in each
number I No wonder, then, that they can afford to
furnish their journals at a less price than we can the
RURAL. It is not the lowest priced paper that is the
cheapest, in any branch of jonrnalism, yet not a few
people are annually governed in their literary investments by the price of journals for which they subscribe,
regardless of quality of contents or appropriateness to
their wants. Fortunately, however, the latter class is
daily decreasing in number, and now, as heretofore, we
are willing to abide the result of careful examination
and comparison of merits, confident that the intelligent
and discriminating will decide correctly.
SORGHUM FLOUR.—A Georgia paper talks of a sample of sorghum floor its editor has seen, which those
who have tried it pronounce to be an admirable substitute for buckwheat And it is asserted that it makes
excellent hoe-cake, and is likely to come into very
general use if prepared like wheat flour by bolting.
" Five million bushels of sorghum seed," \t says, "has
been raised in Georgia the ptesent season*:' As a substitute for coffee, no parched grain or vegetable ordinarily used as substitutes is at all equal to sorghum seed.
And what is still more valuable to know, in the present
scarcity of sugar, a small quantity of the syrup boiled
with ground seed makes the coffee substitute very
pleasant and palatable."
WHAT DOES US GOOD.—It is to have a straight-for-
ward, practical farmer come into our office and give us
fact that he thinks valuable for others to know be:ause it has proved valuable to him. And when he has
»iven it, and we have reciprocated by giving him such
information aa he may seek to obtain from us, it does
us good again to have him take his leave without stopiing to give us a verbal biography of himself, his
neighbors, and of his and their flocks and herds. It
does us good, because we are glad to see him the next
time he comes.

TRICHINA SPIRALIS.
CASKS of infestation of the human body by
that singular entozoon, the Trichina Spiralis,
are reported in a number of localities in this
country. The existence of this little worm as
a denizen of the muscular system of man and
other animals has been known for some time,
but the recognition of a special disease due to it
alone is a recent discovery of the German physiologists.
Anatomists in all countries have occasionally
had their attention called to a peculiar spotted
appearance presented by human muscle, and
portions of tissue thus marked have revealed,
under the microscope, a minute soiled worm,
surrounded with a calcareous envelope, reposing
quietly in it3 singular position. As all cases of
this kind that could be traced were presumed
to have died of well-recognized diseases, and as
no symptoms which could be referred to the
presence of these worms were recorded, the
worms were regarded as harmless, and described merely as objects of scientific euriosity.
But within a few years the medical profession of Germany has had its attention called to
certain anomalous cases of disease, first suspected to be cases of acute poisoning. Chemical investigation nullifying this suspicion, further investigation revealed in all the subjects
examined the presence of Trichinse in large
numbers. As the Trichinae were known to
exist also in the flesh of swine, and as previous
investigation had shown the possibility of the
transference of entozoa from animals to man,
suspicions were awakened, experiments tried,
and it was finally demonstrated that these
worms were not killed by a heat of 140°, and
thus in imperfectly cooked meat containing
them, might be transferred alive to the digestive organs. Careful investigation revealed also,
that each one of these animals thus released
from imprisonment in a few days gave birth to
hundreds of others, which immediately commenced to perforate their way through the intestines and surrounding parts, making a straight
path to the muscles of all portions of the body,
especially those of the limbs.

CIVILIZATION AND THE HUMAN BRAIN.—
At the last meeting of the Ethnological Society,
Mr. DUNN read a paper " On the Influence of
Civilization on the Brain of Man," in which he
contended that education and moral culture produces changes in the form and size of the brain,
which are manifested by the conformation of the
skull. By the influence of civilization, he maintained, the skull of the negro may be altered
from its original type, and may be rendered equal
in its phrenological developments to the skull of
a European. On the table were placed casts of
the skull of an individual at different periods of
adult life, to show the changes that had been
produced in the course of ten years.
> I*
UTILIZING COAL DUST.—The idea of utiliz-
ing coal dust, by putting it in such form as to
serve for fuel, is practically carried out in Belgium. The end is effected by combining eight
parts of coal tar with ninety-four parts of coal
dust. This mixture, subjected to great heat, becomes a paste, which is pressed into cakes.
These cakes are warranted not to produce more
than six per centum of ashes, and are in great
demand, for generating steam on railway locomotives. We have no doubt that the heaps of coal
dust wasting at our mines could be utilized by
some such process, and be disposed of at cheaper
rates this winter when coal will be so dear.
A CAVALRT soldier died recently at Overton
hospital who belonged to a Missouri regiment,
and had been through all the battles of the west.
After the death of the veteran, it was revealed
that the supposed young man was a woman.
It seems that she entered the army early in
the war, and served her time faithfully as a
soldier until mustered out. During all this
time she was able to retain the secret of her sex.
