Farmers in Prussia.

M Emile do Laveleye has just contrib
uted an article to the Revue des Deux
Mondes, in which an interesting account
is given ofthe pfogress made by Prussia
during fifty years of peace. Writing on
agriculture, he points out that nearly all
theland ownerscu cultivate their ownestat@;
except for detached portions, renting is the
exception They are, therefore. retained
in the country by the care of their own in
terests for nothing more imperionsly re-
quires the eye of a master than rural in
dustry 1t is true they are aided by class
Of employees who are not found IN any 9TH
er country. They are educated young men
belonging to families in a good position
often just leaving an agricultural college,
who remain for certain time on some large
estate to initiate themselves in the practical
direction of one esof their own. This novi-
tate is an ancient custom still preserved in
many trades. Thus frequently, the son
of arich 1hotel-keeper will not hesitate to
enter another hotel as butler or waiter
(Keltney) to be initiated into all the details
of the service over which he will ona gday
haveJto preside. , When any one visitsthe
farms { Rattergutter) he is astonished to see
as superintendents the son of banker, o
baron, or a rich landowner. These young
people drive cart or guide the plow.- At
noon they return, groom their horses, and
then go dress themselves and dine at the
owners table, to VIII omthey are not inferi-
or. either,m instruction, birth or manners.
After the meal they resume their working
dress and return, without any false shame,
to their rustic occupation Thus we find
in feudal Prussia trait of manners suited
to the democratic society of the United
States, and which hereafter will become
general. In France, in England especi-
ally. young man Of the upper class would
believe his dignity compromised in perform
ing the work of a farm laborer.

ley, colored, who was lately expelled

ing this evening. He said that Cliff and
other carpet-baggers and Yankees are
not to be trusted, and advised the ne
groes not to trust the white people, es-
pecially the Yankees. who were the
meanest people on earth. He doubted
If even the mulattoes could be trusted,
as the white blood in their veins might
gain the mastery. He said the action of
the Georgia Legislature in turning out
the negroes would increrse the majority
for Grunt. At first he thought the ne
gro members would draw revolvers and
assert their rights in blood, which
would have benefited the Democrats.
He was glad they had done otherwise.
He thought the coming election, which
ever way it went, would cause blood
shed. The whole speech was of ram
bling and contradictory character,
many of the hearers being doubtful
which side the speaker supported. He
spoke nearly the whole evening. About
four hundred persons were present.
