| prevailed throughout all the Northern States,
and the result is an irrefutable argument
against the policy of concentrating immense
tracts of land in the hands of one person.
The landed system to which the South
adhered previous to the war was
precisely the reverse, and, taken
in connection with the blighting system of
slave labor, resulted in the least remunerative
agricultural policy that the world has ever
seem But, after all, the slave code was re-
sponsible for the whole thing. The peculiar
institution tended to concentrate, not only
the labor, but the land as well, in the hands
of the few, while the masses of whites, by
reason of lack of capital and contempt for
honest industry were forced to live from
hand to mouth. The staunchest advocates of
the slave system, moreover, professed to be-
lieve that slave labor was rendered more pro-
ftable by concentration than diffusion, and
thus the evil was fostered and perpetuated
within itself.
Now that slavery has been sent to the dogs
by the folly of its propagandists, the true
secret of the agricultural prosperity of the
States which were happily exempt from its
accursed presence is slowly but surely dawn
ing upon the minds of its ruined adherents
Some of them still cling to their wide domains
of unprodustive land, preferring to linger
out the remnant of their days in shabby gen
tility, rather than make serious effort to re-
habilitate the Southern States by giving the
poor whites and the enfranchised blacks a
chance to earn an honest and decent liveli-
hood, and at the same time restore a measure
of their own prosperity. But there
are numerous indications of the
adoption of a wiser policy on the
part of many of the Southern landholders,
and if the whole tribe of Democratic dema-
gogues would but follow the example of
Hester Clymer, and make the tour of the
South disseminating similar advice, the waste
places would soon be made green and the
abomination of desolation give way to
degree of prosperity which the Southern
States never did and never could enjoy at the
bidding of the slave-driver. If all our Jealous
Democratic friends, who indulge in so much
abuse of political reconstruction, will but
temper their TRADES against radicalIsm by
lending helping hand to productive recon
struction, they will do more good than harm.

upon herb tea instead of "potecary med

This is the philosophy of making good
hay. Cut in the blossom and cure in
the shade. The sugar of the plant when
IL Is bloom Is In the stalk, ready to form
the seeds. If the plant is cut earlier,
the sugar isnot there If later, the sugar

things: First, cut the grass when in

third, let it go through a sweating pro-

these three things depend the quality of
hay. Hay should be grass preserved,
The nearer to the fresh, tender, succu-

Grass, when in blossom, has its full

The Gar, by an act of wholesale and
arbitrary liberality like his ukase man
uniting the serfs, has abolished at one
sweep the hereditary character of the
Russian priesthood, body numbering,
with their families, not less than seven
hundred thousand. This giant reform
has been accomplished without injus-
tice to vested interests; the priesthood
Is better provided for than before, and
more equally distributed. 1t is true
that such a reform would have made a
revolution in any other country than
Russia, and it is also true that Russia is
