1t is calculated that the divisions
of the occupations of men inthe Uni
ted States, is nearly in the following
proportions:
6" on the ocean, 56,022
" the learned professions, 5,255
" commerce, Il9, COG
manufacturers, 1911, 749
=" agriculture, 3,7l9,95l
Thus it will be seen that those who
are engaged in agriculture, are three
and a half times greater in number
than those in all other divisions. The
agriculturalists consequently have
the physical and numerical power,
and can. at any time control every
government in the United States, and
give tone to public opinion. But do
they? No, indeed; for however pow
erful they may be in number, they
are weak in influence, and arises
from the want of proper educ alton.
The sixty five thousand two hundred
and fifty-fve, engaged in the learned
professions are intellectually strong
er than the three millions seven hun
dred and nineteen thousand nine
hundred and fifty one, engaged in ag-
and therefore rule them. If
it were not so, seven-eighths of the
offices in the country would not be
held by lawyers and doctors; nor
would all the colleges and high schools
be endowed principally for the bene-
lit Of the learned professions.
80 ssaness Mhaat will you aEflse
yourselves to the dignity and imipor-
lance Of your calling, and educate
yourselves to the height of intelli-
,ence which will make you rulers
instead of the ruled of other profess
ions? There is surely nothing to
prevent this, if you will only be true
0 yourselves Agriculturalist.

bright and encouraging hopes for the
future. Letthe Union, the great natu.
raj organ of the democracy, stand up
to those noble sentiments, and "the
North, the South, the East" and the
West, last thong not least, will stand
together as one man.
but, whilst we hold these senti-
ments as citizen of the South, we
trust we are without a prejudice aga
inst the other portions of the Union,
whose adva& es in population, wealth
and greatnts have been more rapid.
In no part ofthe world has the theory,
that a phputar government is the best

Early Steamboats,.

The following brief history of the
first steamboat built at Pittsburg, is
taken from Cists Advertiser printed
at Cincinnati:
Nothing serves so distinctly tc
give notion of progress, as to con.
template the landmarks of the D asst
For this reason copy from the con.
temporary press the history of the
first steamboat voyage on the Ohio
and Mississippi-that of the New Or
leans.
This steamboat was built at Pitts
burg in 1911, by N. Rooseelvet, agent
for Fulton IL Livingston. A sub
scription for the building OF the boat
had been opened, both at New York
and Pittsburg, but failed, little con-
fidence being entertained in New
York of the practicability of running
steam vessels on our western waters.
Not one-third of the capital required
could be raised. At last the paten-
tees obtained funds on their own re-
sponsibility.
twas ascertained by actual expert
ment in Pittsburg, that the New Or
leans could be made to ascend the
current of the Ohio,-which had been
considered at that period, doubtful
problem-the boat making three mites
per honr, against current of two and
half miles per hour.
The following are the notices al
luded to:
"The steamboat built at Pit.sb -
by Rosewelds IL Co. for the navIg;sS
ton of the Ohio and Mississippi ri
vers, to carry goods and passengers
between New Orleans and the diGe-
rent towns on those rivers, was load
ing at Pittsburg the beginning of this
month, and would sail about the 10th
inst, for New Orleans. We are told
sheisa well constructed vessel, about
l4o feet long, will carry 400 tons of
goods, has elegant accommodations
or passengers, and is every way fit
ed in great style. 1t is supposed that
she will go 30 mile, day against
he stream, and thereby make pas
age from New Orleans to Pittsburg
n SIX weeks, but as she must go CON
ldcrable farther with the current.

one llldoubt who is acquainted with
the richness and fertility of the
country with which it is surrounded
ana the great natural advantages
Whlch 1t possesses, in timber, stone

advantages, too, have attracted, and
are still attracting in great numbers,
some OF the best farmers in the State;
who are meaking fine farms by turn
ing wild meadows into well cultiva-
ted fields. Last yeara large surplus
OF corn was raised in this portion of
the State, and we hope and trust that
wheat enough will be produced to
supply the home, market, and also
reduce somewhat the present price of
flour, which is $500, and nearly the
whole supply Of this whole county has
been from the Eastern part OF the
State. The large amount of money
which has been sent away for this
purpose heretofore, has been a seri-
Gus injury to the county, and our far
mers should apply the remedy as
soon as possible by pocketing this
amount tlemselves.-lowa Star. -.,.f

ana you may satisfy yureself by opti-
cal proof that it is clean but a iug
has a little hole in the top, and the
interior is alldarkness. No eve pen
etrates it, no hand moves over its sur
lace. You can clean it only by put
ting IN the water, shaking it up, and
pouring 1t out. If the water comes
out clean, you judge you have sue
ceeded in cleaning the jug and vice
versa. Hence, the jug is like the
human heart. No mortal eye can
penetrate its recesses, and YOU can
onlyjudge ofits purity, by what comes
out of it,.
