old man died, peacefully and hsppiy. His fu-
neral was large and expensive one, and he
was borne to = lot in the cemetery paid for by
his old slave, who also paid for the funeral out
lay. Over him was raised handsome monu-

widow OF the deceased slave owner lives in

Plies her With every comfort.
The losers by the Ocean Bank robbery are
Offering rewards for the return OF che stolen
property. They generally offer reward OF
twenty five per cent OF the amount taken. Some
OF the depositors refuse to state the amount
they have lost. It is known, however. that
more than $500 900 has been retained by the
robbers. The bank of ,rs reward OF SIS Oo0
for the arrest of the guilty parties. As this sum
exceeds the total loss of the bank the PROPOSE
tion gives rise to unworthy suspicious on the
part ofsome Of the papers. which hint that either
The bank must have suffered more than the d1-
reotors are willing to acknowledge. or that they
rest in complete confden ;e that they will never
be called upon to pay the reward aud hence take
this safe method to testify their sympathy with
the losers. The Herald also reports suspi-
cion that the whole story of the recovered
bonds is not told, and that if everything were
known 1t would be disclosed that the return OF
the trunk was the result Of an agreement be-
tween the detectives aud the thieves. The
most improbable part Of. such suspicion IS
the brief lapse of time since the robbery,
which would hardly have enabled the detec-
tives to come to so prompt an agreement. The
advice Of Superintendent Kennedy that the
losers employ private detectives is regarded
with astonishment by all, as it ID virtual ad-
mission that the public force ls either lncom-
petent or not trustworthy. No one seems to
put any faith in whatever attempts may bs
making to bring the robbers to trial for their
m,sdeed.

Self Sustaining Farms.

Ex-Governor Vance, of North Car
DINA, in his ad ,lress before the Dor
der Agricultural Fair at Danvilie a
few days ago, offered the following
practical suggestion
In country SO Sparsely settled as
ours, and where lands are held i'll
such large bodies, the theory of Ia
Dor is not sound economy in farming
operations. Every farm should be as
nearly independent and self.support-
ing in all resi- &c rs it can possibly
he made. In mercantile parlance a
farmer should, if possible, be a gen
eral dealer to at least the extent OF
his own consumption. Planting
therefore, as contradistinguiShed
from farming-by which we under
stand a special devotion to cotton,
rice, tobacco or any great staple-is
liable to this objection, it is not self.
sustaining. An imperfect and IN
wise arrangement, that by which sc
many of our planters expend the pro
ceeds of their staple crops for pro
vision and stocks, thus paying double
profits and commissions as we'll as
shipping away the fairness of theil
soils every year and placing nothing
back in lieu of it. Every man who
tills the soil as means of living
should first provide himself with ev
erything which his farm will grow
before he plants a single seed fol-
sale. Another great objection tt
planting, or special farming is tina
it is ruinously destructive to fertilit,
and an enemy to the improvement o
lands.
