Correspondence.
ELKo, New, July 28th.

Friend: Since my last letter
to you, I have been travelling
over a great deal of country,
and as yet have not seen any
that [ consider worth anything
for farming or stock-raising.-
The mines are rich in many
places, but hard to work, and
as they are principally quartz,
it takes large capitalists to con-
troll them. This is the most
overrated country / ever saw.
Ii you know ofany person who
wants to come to this or any
other mining country, for hui
manity's sake, persuade him to
go at something east of the
Rocky Mountains, for this is
entirely overdone, overated and
and o humbug generally-ex-
elements gotten up by specu-
laSors and gamblers. I am per-
fectly disguised with every
thing here. I have not been
to White Pine. I have met so
many on their way from there
who give such discouraging ac-
counts of the place, that | shall
not go. The mines there are
rich, but there are hundreds of
men there that can't get work
to do at any price, They are
out of means and don't know
where the next mouthful is to
come from. / see them coming
from there daily; some of them
are barefooted, walking in the
dust from one to five inches
deep, with their blankets on
their backs. Some go into the
mines without money and make
a good thing, while others with
a large capital loose it all. In
regard to laborers working in
the mines, the wages are S. a
day in gold. 1t looks like a
man could do we'll at that, but
he can't get work to do half
the time, and when he can, it
takes all of it to live on.
| have paid 80 cents a night
in a tent, furnishing my own
blankets, and that is as cheap
sit is generally. Meals, so
cents to S1-hard money-and
scarce at that.
Elko is a hard place. There
are about IS or 80 whisky shops
gambling, prize fighting, dog
fighting, land every other kind
OF fghting), and horse and foot
racing are the order of the day.
There was a foot race here yes
terday. l went out to see it.
1t was great curiosity. One
OF the men was called "Califor-
MIA Frank" and the other. the
champion Of Ohio" There
was a great many present. I
believe the race was for $500
IN gold. Some bet their horses,
Others gold dust. It was really
amusing to one who never saw
anything OF the kind at the
same time tits quite disgusting.
This country is given to dissi-
patton. There are more in
ducements for it here than any
other place | ever saw.
Ii l was back in Louisiana, /
would settle there for life. l
don't regret my trip, however,
tor Iconsider it worth all it has
cost me-and when | do find
a country | can do well in, |
VIII be sure to stay in it. That
is the only thing which has
made my trip worth anything
to me.
This is the greatest mining
country in the world f; the rich
est ore and the most of it. Some
OF 1t pays 5000 a tun; but a
poor man has no chance. The
quartz mills cost so much that
capitalists have everything
their own way. The winters
are so severe no one can work.
and even if he could get work
every day when it is warm, it
would take all his money TO do
him in winter.

MONEY SENT THROUGH THE
MAILs.-A late Washington dis
patch says the amount of money
through the mails by postal mon
ey orders, is increasing about 100
per cent. annually. This year the
aggregate foots up thirty million
dollars, against sexteen millions
last year, and it is estimated that
the amount will again double
next year.

September 9Th, last year, the
Camden left Monroe with 80
bales of new cotton. During
the ten days preceding the
9th of the same month, the
worms had stripped the cotton
stalks all over the parish.
COTToN PICKING.-A Fact
Worth KnOaciag.-We learn
from DR.. Lewis, who lives on
Clear Lake, that his hands are
now gathering, on a portion of
his plantation, so lbs. of cotton
per day to the hand. Colonel
Morrison commenced yesterday
and expects to have a bale of
new cotton in market ON Satur-
day next.
1t is a fact worthy of the
planters attention that these
gentlemen are not picking cot
ton grown from home seed
raised in higher ATTITUDES. DR..
Lewis procured his seed in Illi-
nois, and Col. Morrison obtain
ed his in Tennessee. Both
concur in saying that the cot
ton grown from these seed is
two or three weeks earlier than
their other cotton. Take such
seed and apply fertilizers, and
then destroy all the first eater
pillars seen, and the caterpillar
risk is reduced one-half.
THE SWAMP.-The Missis-
sippi is now falling. The wa
ter is off Bayou Macon swamp.
and is falling at the rate of a
foot and a half every twenty
four hours. The bridging and
trestling ON the Railroad for
which the timbers are all franz
ed, will be begun in q few DAYS
all along the line. We fear,
however, the road will not he
open before Christmas.-TOua-

"Whosoever bloweth not his
own horn, the same shall not
be bowed" saith the proverb-
and our modest President evi,
IDENTIFY believes in it, since, in
the formal interchange of COM
pliments, between himself and
the French Emperor, relative
to the new cable between the
two countries, he takes occa-
sion to remind the latter of
"the liberal policy of the Uni
ted States pursuant to which
this cable has been landed"
etc. For Omitted States" read
the administration" and for
"liberal policy" the higgling
opinion of Attorney General
Hoar, and the hesitating policy
of Secretary Fish ON the sub
ject, and the dispatch would be
more in accordance with the
facts of the case. The allu-
sion was in exceeding bad taste,
to say the least of it, even if
there had been some truth in
it. AS it is, we think the effect
of it will rather be to remind
the, French people of the evil
dent reluctance with which per-
mission was given to land the
cable at all, rather than to
place them under any overpow-
ering sense of gratitude for the
favor extended. Besides, it
was to the mutual advantage
of both countries. But, per-
haps, something should be al
lowed for Grants deficiencies

pondence from the fact that

DEATH OF Isaac ToUCEY

DEATH OF ISAAC ToUCEY.-
The papers of the North an
nounce the death of Isaac Tou-
cey, of Connecticut. He was
one of the war horses of New
England Democracy. With
Tom Seymour and Frank
Pierce he fought Radicalism
from its inception, and though
he lost many battles, he never
lost faith or his courage. His
career was long and distin-
guished, beginning almost with
the beginning of the Republic
and before the formation of
the old Wing and Democratic
parties. He was born in New
town Connecticut, November
5, 1906; received d thorough
classical education; studied law
and commenced. the practice
at Hartford in 1918; was ap-
pointed States Attorney in
1922, and continued to hold
that office until 1885; was a
Representative in Congress
from Connecticut from 1886 to
1889; Governor Of the, State
from 1916 to 1847; was appoint
Attorney General of the Uni
ted States by President Polk;
was a State Senator in 1850; a
Senator in Congress from 1852
to 1857, and in March of the
latter year he went into Presi-
dent Buchanan's Cabinet as
Secretary of the Navy, serving
as such until 1861.

Profanity.

1t has long been a matter OF
wonder to us that the churches
did not make more effort to
break up the idle, senseless
and wicked habit of profrane
swearing. 1t has become such
a common habit, that too many
regard it as not sinful. But
we we're much gratified, on
Sunday last, to hear the Rev.
Mr.. Goodwin, Of the Metho-
dist Church, speak at length
upon this growing evil, and
deal many telling rebukes to
those who engage in it. We
hope to see every minister in
the land follow this example;
and not stop at talking about
it in the pulpit, but go among
their parishioners and the peo-
pie generally, and use their in
tluence in correcting those who
indulge the vulgar habit, and
impress upon parents the ne
cessity Of keeping their chill
dren from the company of
these who swear.
While very young, the wri-
ter had this simple sentence
impressed upon his mind: "To
swear is neither brace, polite nor
aViSe;;" and these reasons alone,
aside from the moral view of
the case, should be sufficient to
prevent any one from acquir-
ing the habit. We are conyin-
ced the whole fault lies with
parents, who could prevent
profanity in their children by
choosing their company, and
warning them against associa-
ton with those who use i'm
proper language. No man
justities swearing, but regrets
the habit. which almost invaria-
bly, was contracted in boyhood.
1t is a paiful truth that too few
of us properly appreciate our
responsibility as parents, and
allow our children to grow up
without sufficient care to their
associations and habits, and
thus allow them to form char
arcters that not only make
them unhappy, but too often
bring misery upon others
Until parents feel this great
responsibility, and make efforts
to guide the speech and molals
of the young, as well as to ed
ucate mentally and physically,
we cannot reasonably expect
the habit of profane swearing
to cease.-[Neac Iberia Times.
