Buy A RoME.--Every labosing poor man
should buy himself town lot, get that paid
for, and then work le make the necessary inn
provements. A little here and little there
will in due time produce you a home of your
own, and place you out of the landlords grasp;
remember that fifty dollars year saved in rent
will in very few years pay for your home,
and the money it costs you to move and shift
about, without any loss of furniture and time,
pay the interest on five hundred dollar judg
ment against your property, until you can
gradually reduce it to nothing. You can all
buy that way-who do you nOs riskf If you
fail, you are no worse offNif you succeed, as
any careful man is sure to do, you have made
q home and established basis equal to many
another's, which will start you in business.

PROFITS OF FARMING.-Nos small experience
and some observation convinces me that cir
cumstances being equal, farming will furnish
as ample compensation for labor, as ample, a
dividend upon capital invested, as the common
trades which men engage IN, and even the or
dinary pursuits of mercantile and commercial
life. OF course except all matter OF gambling
and speculation.
The returns of most crops strike one some
times with astonishment, and would, If taken
as test, lead to the most delusive specula-
tions. A grain of seed sometimes returns one
hundred fold, and this being sown second
year would, perhaps, give ten thousand fold,
and so on, in geometrical ratio. Seventy
bushels of potatoes planted will yield four hun
dred, or twenty to one; bushel of wheat sown
will yield thirty bushels, or thirty for one; q
pound of carrot, beet, or ruta baga seed will
produce six to nine hundred bushels, worth one
hundred dollars.
The proceeds in these cases seem to be enor-
NOUS, yet they are constantly realized, and that
too in many cases at comparatively small e1-
pense. But no confident conclusions of tho ex-
act profits of farming are to be drawn from such
results as these, so many untold circumstances
of abatement enter into the cost, that if these
were the only elements given in the case, the
solution of the problem would give the most
erroneous and deceptive results.
We are not to look to Agriculture fox any Or
dinary or sudden gains, as for example, the
drawing of prize in lottery, or q shrewd
speculation in stock.
If you will take ten merchants with fixed
amount of capital, and ten farmers with the.
same amount, we will find that at the end of
tyyenty wears the farmers have the greatest in
crease, and that it is more evenly divided among
them than among the merchants. Farming is
also far safer and more certain to secure a COM
potency than mercantile pursuits. 1 venture
TO say that twenty merchants fail in business to
one farmer and this ought to open the eyes OF

YTNHE EXPECTORANT is composed exclusive
ly of Herbal and Mucilaginous products,
which PERMEATE THE VERY SUBSTANCE
OF THE LUNGS, causing them to throw off the
acrid matter which collects in the Bronchial
Tubes and at the same time forms soothing
coating relieving the irritation which produces
the cough.
The object to be obtained Is to cleanse the or
gan Of all impurities to nourish and strengthen
It when it has become impaired and enfeebled by
disease; to renew and invigorate the circulation

tonishing changes in the above are in the
States Of Illinois and Missouri, which have in
creased nearly three quarters of a million each
wear since 1860. When we consider the raw
ages of the'war, ii is wonderful that Missouri,
where they were especially great, should have
had such a growth and be now the fifth State
of the Union. Virginia, has 1,656,00o inhabi-
tants, or less than Indiana, which was former
ly one of her counties. In the beginning of
the Government, Virginia ranked first in pop
ulation but now, at the BEST she is but seventh
and with West Virginia left off she is but the
eleventh. The West and the South will have
great comparative gains with the East in Con-
gressional representation--the former from its
increase of population, ard the latter from the
fact that for the first time all the negroes are
counted in the representation. In every pre-
vious census FIVE slaves were ranked as only
three persons. This greatly diminished the
political power of the South, although it was
foolishly taught by demagogues at the North
that it increased it.

NIECE OF LORD BYRoN's-THE MYSTERY Elk
PLAINED.-The New York Herald, commenting on the
Introductory chapter of Mrs. Stoves new book makes
this extraordinary revelation:
In this connection we may allude to the announce
ment of another new book" Medora Leigh A diary
ana autobiography ITO be edited by Charles Mackay,
and published by Bentley, of London. The veteran
publisher recently teegraphed to Mrs Stowe an urgent
request that she would postpone the publication of her
BOOK until she should have had an opportunity of cor
rec'lng her impression, and of learning the origin of
the sanderous charge of incest brought against Lord
byron, and his halt sister, the Hon. Mrs. Leigh Me-
dora Leigh was the fourth daughter of Mrs. Leigh
AT the age OF fifteen, while living with her elder sis
ter the wife of the "scoundrel" Trevanion she was
sedueed by her sisters husband Who after separating
from his wife, carried Medora to the South of France
There the seducer and bis victim lived together for
several years before Trevanion in order to retain his
mold upon her. invented and told her the horrible story
that Lord Byron was her father This story Medora
communicated in reproachnl letter to her mother.
who never replied to it. Lady Byron subsequently,
heard oil the story hunted up Medora and brought her
home, but afterwards, in of her freaks, sent her
away Such according to this Diary and Autobiogra-
ply, which, brief and meagre as it is, Mr.. Bentley
believes to be authentic is the story which crazed
Lady Byron, and which, repeated by Mrs. Stowe has
scandalized the world. Perhaps Mrs Stowe will tell
US something more about Medora Leigh in her forth
coming volume.

THE QUESTION SETTLED-Gen. Reynolds has issued
orders appointing E. }. Davis Governor; J. W. Elan
agan, Lieutenant Governor; A Bledsoe Comptroller
G. w. Honey, Treasurer, and Jacob Keuchler, Com.
missioner of General Land Office. The same order
declares that they have been elected to these positions
We regard this action as decisive Gen. REYNOLDS
would not, in the face of the allegations and evidences
of fraud which have been brought forward assume the
responsibility of declaring the result unless he had
backing at Washington.
1t now matters not whether the election was legally
conducted-whether the result was obtained by fair
or fraudulent means, General Davis is to be our Gov
ernor-either Provisional Governor indefinitely, or
the Chief Magistrate for four years OF commonwealth
having constitution and civil government The only
question now is whether Governor Davis is to be re-
sponsibe to Gen Reynolds for his conduct or whether
he is to be responsible to the people In other words,
whether speedy reconstruction, under the circum.
stances, is preferable to indefinite military rule
We confess it has ever been our desire that the
first Republican Governor of reconstructed Texas
should be the emphatic choice of the people 1t was
only because civil government, in which all the peo.
pie are represented and protected could be obtained

the fields. In some instances planters who were on
rented places have been compelled to leave their
places, their lease having expired, with considerable
