GENERAL MARKETS.
THURSDAY, March 8, 1870

CorroN-During the forenoon there was
a better feeling manifested in cotton, and
several buyers were on the streets looking
for cheap lots, and some of the factors
managed to do fair amount of business
on q basis of zoe for low middling, but we
heard of several small lots of strict grades
bringing a fraction above. The later tele-
grams, however, from New York and Liver
pool dispelled all the better feeling that
vas manifested during the morning, and at
the close, we continue our quotations of
vestertiay as follows

Brains and Muscle.

w. s. Clark, Esq, President OF the
Massachusetts, Agricultural College, in
his recent report offers the following
sensible remarks:
Some persons appear to look upon
the contented performance of coarse
and difficult manual labor with sort
of respect, and regard with suspicion
any attempt to avoid or relieve 1t, a
indicative of laziness. But a desire
for Improvement lies at the foundation
of all progress in the arts, and by the
intelligent efforts of men dissatisfied
with the methods of the past, agricul-
ture is rapidly rising toward the digni
ty and physical comfort OF learned
profession. How much more mind
and how much more muscle is now
called into requisition in the various
operations of husbandry than twenty
five'years ago. In preparing the soil,
in planting, in cultivating, in haying,
in harvesting, in threshing, in the
management of the dairy; in fact, al
most everywhere, intelligence is the
principal thing, and mere brute force
comparatively worthless. The old
prediudice against thoughtful, studi
Gus and progressive men, as book farm
ers and fancy farmers, has at length
been overcome by the mass of printed
matter which pours its light into every
household, and by the numberless i'm
proyements which have been demon
strated to be not merely expensive
luxuries for the rich, but Of priceless
value to every tiller Of the soil.

Sneaker Blaine on EeonOmy.

Hon. J. G. Blaine, Speaker OF
the National House of Represen-
tatives, has written a letter to one
of his constituents in regard TO
the public estimates and apprO
priations, and correcting the i'm
preston which sEhas been Great
ed''-and, we will add, from GER
tain hasty and ill-considered rep
reservations at first made by Mr..
Dawes-s'that General Grants
administration has expended
more money in the same time
than its immediate predecessor"
Mr.. Blaine proceeds to say:
''This is totally erroneous, as a
balance sheet, on a comparison
of official figures, will clearly es-
tablish. The present Administra-
ton has been in power nearly
year, and we can compare that
period with the closing twelve
months of President Johnson's
administration.
"From March 1, 1868, to March
1, 1869, the total receipts into the
Treasury were little over 1868,
100000. / avoid fractions for the
sake of perspicuity. Every dol
lar of this was expended, and the
public debt for the same period
increased about 100000, as ap-
pears from the official publica-
tions of the Treasury Department
thus showing a total expenditure
for the year of 1914, 100000.
'The total receipts into the
Treasury for the first year of Gen.
Grants administration, estimat-
| ing for the few remaining days,
will amount to $394, 100000. Out
of this sum total, $50, ,00O, 900 have
been applied to the payment Of
the public debt, thus leaving the
current expenditures of the Gov
ernment, including interest on
the public debt, $314,0O0,000, or
! $50, ,000,0 900 less than was expen-
4 ded in the same time by Presi-
| dent Johnson's administration. "
j The Speaker also appropriately
recognizes the increased effieieIi-
cy of the present management OF
, the Internal Revenue Depart
ment, and the retrenchment OF
. expenditures under the admins
, tration of President Grant, as
follows:
''It will be observed that the
receipts were twenty six millions
more in General Grants first
year than in Mr.. JOhnson's last
year. Over twenty million dol
lars of this must be credited to
the Internal Revenue, which has
been much more faithfully col
leeted; for it will be noted that
this large increase in amount has
been derived from diminished
and contracted sources of taxa
ton, many of the taxes in force
during a part of the years 1868
and 1869 having been repealed
before President Grant came into
office.
"Whether regard, then, he had
to the fidelity with which the
revenue is collected, or the eeono-
my with which it is expended, the
comparison for the past, undeni-
ably, is overwhelmingly in favor
of the present Administration. y

TRUE HEROTSM.

Let others write Of battles fought
on bloody. CHASTITY fields,
Where honor greets the man who,Wtns,
And death the man who yields
But will write OF him who lights
And vanquishes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years,
Against himself, and wins.
He is q hero sfaunch and brave,
Who fights an unSeen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet,
His passions base and low.
And stands erect in manhood'B might
Undaunted, undismRyed-
The bravest man who drew a sword
In foray or in raid.
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle, to DER come
An enemy who marches not
With banner, plume and drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread,
Forever by your board by day,
At night beside your bed
Auhonor. then, to that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baser part
Who conquers and is free.
he may not wear a heros crown,
Or NIL a hero's grave,
But truth will put his name among
The bravest OF the brave.

Incidental Instruction.

Teachers often consume much
time in teaching things which
the pupils should learn ineiden,
tally, and would thus learn, Il
only left to themselves.
There is, for example, the alpha
bet, the first formidable battery
that guards, with its twenty-six
guns, the approaches to knOwl-
edge. This the child is commonly
obliged to storm by marching
straight upon it, when it should
be taken BY an easy flank move
ment. That is, the child, though
ignorant of the letters, should be
set to reading at once, not words
of a single syllable only, but
words of any number of syllables,
provided always he can compre-
bend the meaning of the words.
Never permit him, when ne
knows the letters, to spell a word
he cannot pronounce, but tell
him what it is, requiring him to
look at it with care and to review
frequently. This learning to read
by words, from the start, is the
natural and much the easiest way.
The letters Will be acquired IN
cidentally. -. ... .....

Geographical Story.

/ was awakened one morning
by the growing of a cityin China,
under my window and by the
singing of a group of islands be-
longing to Africa, in a cage in
my window. / went down to
breakfast, and found that a group
of islands in 0ceanica had split
upon the carpet one of the coun-
tries of Europe, and breakfast
(which was composed of one CT
the countries of Asia, and one of
the rivers of Idaho, seasoned with
a group of islands in Oceanica,
and a dish Of the favOrite food of
the Irish) was obliged to wait
until it was cold as an island in
North America.
As soon as | had finished my
breakfast / packed an organ OF
an elephant, and started for a city
in the southern part of Michigan,
and just as the train started, a
chain of mountains in Africa be-
gan to fall, and just as we got to
city where one of the cities of
Michigan meet, boy got on the
train, who was one of the ISLANDS
of the West Indies, and just as
he sat down one of the rivers of
Europe bit him on the cheek, and
he yelled out one of the rivers of
Australia. As the train stopped
again, woman came into the
car whose name / afterwards
learned to be a city in Egypt and
a city in Soudan. She wore a
dress of a city in India and of Il
very brilliant city in Anam. Her
shoes were made of country in
Africa and covered with a lake
in Nevada. Around her neck she
wore a necklace made of one of
the islands of 0ceanica. On her
head she wore a white hat made
of one of the cities of Italy and
trimmed with a city in Utah.
On her finger shee wor ring
made of one of the islands of
Oceanica. / gave her paper OF
a city in Ceylon, which she ate
and said it was very good. Ireach-
ed my destination the next day,
and Just as stepped off the car,
/ hit my lake in Minnesota and
fell headlong into the chain Of
mountains in Africa.
