s;Drague and the Republican
Prcss-Signs Of Alarm.
Senator


Prcss-Signs Of Alarm.
The republican journals are very much per-
lplexed and somewhat alarmed by the late
tpungent, independent, Outspoken views of
Senator Sprague on the political and social
corruptions and demoralizations of the day,
and on the dangers thus threatening the coun-
try. Nor is this party perplexity surprising.
According to the dogmas of party-this party
or that party-the opinions of Mr.. Sprague
are rank heresies.. But they are working in
many minds. In truth, the great body of our
thinking people are revolving the question
SIS there any hope of reformation of tho
existing abuses, political and moral, frightful
as they are, short of complete overthrow of
the political parties and party principles Of the
day" Then these other questions are sug-
gested: Where is this general reform to
'begin2 What evils shall it undertake to
remedy? Where are the materials and the
means for new and Independent party or
ganization2 Who will lead of, and who will
follow, when the party in power have all the
spOils and the party out of power are as
stupid as the Bourbons in learning nothing
We cannot answer these inquiries just yct
but the public mind is not satisfied with things
as they are, nor with things as they promise
to be under tho new administration. Senator
Sprague is aware Of this, and has been giving
voice to his convictions. One thing is GER
tain, too, that things as they are cannot last
much longer. From all the signs of the times
social, moral, religious and politcal-we shall
have tremendous political upheaval and revo-
luton in or before the year of grace 1872.

Whether hogs require sulphur as
essential to their health, or whether
it is sought by them as condiment,
may not be known for certainty.
But one thing is sure, they devour 1t
with greed whenever it is to be found.
1t is for this purpose, probably, that
they eat large quantities of soft coal,
which contains a large amount Of sui
phur. Perhaps this is the most Geo.
nomical method Of supplying hogs
with sulphur during the winter,
when they requires good deal of car
bon. But in the summer, it is better
to feed It to them In substances con-
tanning less carbon, on account of
their producing less heat. Mustard
is one of the best things for the pur-
pose; and on that account some of 1t
should be sown In every pasture into
which hogs are turned, II hogs are
kept up, or in small yards, 1t is well
to supply them with the wild mus
tard that grows in the fields or high
ways, or to cultivate some OF the bet

The Cleveland Herald talks thus
sensibly upon the duty of supporting
home papers:-"Recollect, if home
weekly paper is to be supported,
home influences must do it. Every
dollar sent to Eastern papersis at the
expense Of the local papers. A Coun.
ty acquires prominence through its
papers more than any other way; and
to every one who has County inter
ests at stake, his home paper is a
necessity. Never will such q man
take a paper printed away from
home till he is able to take second
paper. His first paper will be his
home sheet; and he will so identify
his own interests with that Of his
County paper, as to consider his sub.
scription as much a matter Of yearly
duty as the payment of his taxes"

The Camphor Tree.

An eminent botanist says this val
liable tree can be as easily cultivated
in the United States as elsewhere.
1t is quite as hardy in its habits as
any of our trees. There is no reason
why it should not succeed well
wherever the apple tree will grow.
1t is indigenous to China, Japan and
Chinese Tartary; but it is found in
the greatest abundance along the
eastern coasts of China, where it
grows in dense forests, the trunks at
tanning a size equal to any of our
North American forest trees. The
camphor gum of commerce does not
in any case exude from the tree, but
it is obtained from the leaves, twigs,
and smaller roots by distillation.
The tree itself is so tenacious of life
that to kill it is a semi-impossibility,
and there would be no difficulty in
introducing the plants here.-Er.

political intermeddling, refusal of
every encouragement, and restric-
tions by the unjust discrimination
of unconstitutional taxes, have not
been able to prevent. Theseare some
of the fruits of the much-denounced
institution" which cannot be said to
be evil. There are no cultivators of
cotton like negroes. We do not be-
lieve that they are likely to have
their superiors. That they particle
pate in the success to which they
have so signaliy contributed, no one
will regret. In Jefferson County
alone, we are assured, over six hun
dred of them have bought lands and
will be proprictors, cultivating the
staple on their own account the COM
ing year."

The largest farm in England con-
sists Of three thousand acres, and is
owned by man with the Yankee
name Samuel Jones. In its cultiva-
ton he follows the 'four-course' sys-
tenn, the whole extent of the farm
being divided into four great crops:
775G acres vi wheat, 75O to barley and
oats, $50 to seeds, beans, peas, etc.,
and $50 to roots. m
The live stock on this farm is val
ued as follows: Sheep $35, 900, horses
$4,000, bullocks $4,000, pigs So, 800.
The oil cake and corn purchased an
nualIy amount to $40, 900, and artifi-
cial fertilizers about $1,000. The en-
tire cost Of manure, in various forms
used ANNUALLY, is about $50, 900. Sheep
are claimed as the most profitable
stock he keeps, from which is real
lied about $40, 0OOa year. His income
from the whole farm, though not
stated, can be little less than s5O, 900
per annum.-Er.

The Freedmen OF Arkansas.

The Arkansas State Gazette, vio-
lent Democratic paper, speaks rs fol.
lows Of the colored workmen of that
State:
"The wages paid to negro laborers
in the cottOn-fields Of Arkansas far
exceed the wages ever before paid to
labor anywhere, except in California,
during the few years after the first
gold discovery. Labor to-day in the
cotton-fields of this State is more re-
munerative, realizes more to the la
borer at the end Of the year, than any
prices paid now in California or else
where. And we are glad to be able
to make the announcement. It is
evidence of prosperity induced by
the culture of a staple which must be
used by the world, whatever the cost
of its culture. While its culture pays
high wages to the labOrer, 1t is seen
to be remunerative to the employer.
The inevitable result is q general
prosperity, hardly to be found else
where, among industrial classes.
Countries, like men, endowed with
wealth, possess great advantages in
all commercial and political rela-
tons. Money properly made use Of
is an irresistible power.
Perhaps it would be well worth
our while to reflect that, with any
other people than the negroes, nur-
tured, trained and educated to the
system of labor which is followed by
such wholesome results, we should
not have the satisfaction Of realizing
the condition of affairs that we de-
scribe. To this houseless, half-clad
people, the South is almost wholly
Indebted for prosperity which laws,
