ROBERT G.. GEIER.-The telegraph announ-
Get the death of ex-Judge Robert G. Grier, of
the United States Supreme Court, at his resi-
dcnce in Philadelphia. Judge Grier was in his
77th wear. and for several years past had been
suffering from paralysis. He was native OF
Pennsylvania, having been born in Cumber-
land County, in that State, in the year ii94
In 1872 he graduated from Dickinson college,
and was noted for his scholastic attainments.
For some years he conducted a college at Nor
cumberland, in the meantime preparing HIM
self for the legal profession, and in 1877 was
admitted to the bar. His first public office was
that of Judge of the District Court Of Allegheny
County, in his native State, position which ne
held greatly to his honor for many years. In
the course of service in this capacity ne gained
a great reputation for legal ability and Tor the
Justice of his decision from the bench. MI
Grier's standing in his profession drew TO MN
the attention of President Polk, and IN 1916,
on the decease of Judge Henry BALDWIN, ne
was appointed by the President Judge OF the
Supreme Court of the United States. Judge
Grier was a Democrat in his politics, and in
his opinions as Judge of the Supreme Court
he Sometimes incurred the disfavor of partisans
of the opposite school of politics He carried
with him to the Supreme bench the reputation!
which he had acquired as a State judge of
Pennsylvania-that of a thoroughly proficient
and learned jurist. Judge Grier's most famous
decisions were those connected with the tugl-
tive-slave case in which Passmore Williamson
figured, and in the Dred-Scott case. The de-
cision in the former was given in the Circuit
Court, and that in the latter in the full bench.
Mr.. Grer's decision in these causes celebrcs were
opposed to the anti-slavery sentiment of that
day but however political partisanship may
have dissented from his views, his integrity as
Judge and his sense of responsibility in his
high Office were never questioned by political
opponents.-N Y World.

man is always too good-natured. He never
flies into passion. He might crawl into one,
but the idea of his flying into anything is pre-
posterous. Who ever heard of lazy man

be used. or drilling into safe? Nobody o ,d he he
too much exertion but he can lie at bar
room all day. He is of inestimable value to

watching the game, for few would care to play
where there are no spectators. The lazy man
never gets up revolutions, instructions or other
popular excitements, and don't make nuisance
of himself by tramping round the country
making incendiary speeches to promote public
never busy-body in other peoples affairs
Lazy men don't disturb the quiet of peaceful!

AN INTERNAL MIsTAKE.-"Many shaft at
random sent" hits something or other which
the archer little meant to touch. We have
heard an anecdote illustrative of this truth
which has probably not appeared in print be-
fore, and which has been told us as a genuine
history. 1t happened in large city-never
mind what city.
There were two pretty sisters who had mar
ricd, one an eminent lawyer, the other dis
tinguished literary man. Literary man dies
and leaves young sister widow.
Some years rolled away, and the widow lays
aside her weeds. Now, then, it happens that a
certain author and critic has occasion on 8
broiling day in summer to call on the eminent
lawyer-husband of the elder sister. He finds
the lawyer pleading and sweltering in crowd
ed court, sees that the lawyer is suffering dread
fully from the heat, pities him, rejoices that he
himself is not lawyer, and goes for a COO
saunter under the sheltering trees of fashion
able park and garden.
Among the ice-eating, tanning crowd there
he meets the younger Of thetwo sisters, and fol
a moment thinks he is talking to the elder.
ooh, Mr.. -" said the lady, chow dread

eyes, madame" replies our luckless critic
"it is hot here; but can assure you the heal
of this place isn't circumstance when com
pared with the heat of the place where youl
poor dear husband is suffering to-day"
A horror-stricken expression comes over the
face of the lady; she rises from her chair and
flounces Indignantly away.
"Ah, me miserable" soliloquizes our wretch
ed critic GIVE been mistaken the one sister fol
the other, and she thinks meant to say thai

A FALSE SrATEMENT.-In consequence of
statements made in letter going the rounds of
the press recently, to the effect that there were
several thousand Confederate prisoners on the
the Dry Tortugas in state Of destitution, with
out means of getting away, Mr.. G. F. NARROW,
of Selma Alabama, addressed letter to the
War Department asking as to the truth of the
statement. The enquiry was responded to by
E. D. Townsend, Adjutant General of the
United States, who says: "There is not single
Confederate prisoner in the custody of the
United States anywhere at this time" He
further says: "There were never more than two
thousand men, United States soldiers, prisoners
and all, if as many, at any one time on that Is
land. All these statements concerning Dry
Tortugas are utterly false"

THE THREE GREAT FAIRs.-People who
have time and money may make delightful
circuit this fall-the circuit of the three great
Fairs. The Augusta Fair begins ON Tuesday,
the 25th of October, and lasts five days. The

Charleston, begins on Tuesday, the LIST of No
vember, and also lasts five days. The State
Fair in Columbia begins on Wednesday, the
9th of November, and lasts three days. Each
one is to be on a grand scale; and each city
WILL in all respects, put its best foot foremost
a week in Columbia. Such trip might be
made equally delightful and improving.

A STRANGE SU1c1DE.-A strange suicide was
committed in Harrison County, Missouri, on
the 1st. A traveller stopped at farm where
they were thrcshing out grain, and going in
the barn-yard began talking to some OF the
men at work, telling them he used TO work with
a machine, whereupon he asked leave to drive
His request was granted, and after short spell
he asked if he might not feed the machine
Itywas quite apparent that he was well posted
in regard to threshing, and having fed for some
time he looked around at the driver with a
nod, signifying that he wanted more power.
Standing still till the cylinder was flying and
buzzing around like "double-geared lightning"
and every one becoming. alarmed at the awful
motion, he jumped head first against the teeth
of the cylinder, and in less than an instant he
was ushered into eternity. No one knew him,
and there were no papers upon his person by
which he could be Identified.

ADVANTAGE OF DIVERSIFIED CRoPs.-The

ADVANTAGE OF DIVERSIFIED CROPs.-Ihe
large cotton crop this year, and the consequent
lower price of cotton in the market, is direct
inc attention to the propriety and advantage
of more diversified crops in the Southern
States. The impolicy of growing cotton al
most exclusively in the South, is the more man
ifest this year by reason of the drought in the
Eastern and Middle States and the war in Eu-
rope, which have advanced the prices of bread
stuffs and provisions, to the great profit of the
Western States. In view of the present situa-
tion of agricultural interests in the various
sections of the country, the Commissioner OF
Agriculture has recommended to farmers the
more general adoption of mixed crops: In
some sections Of the Western country, he re-
ports, there are miles of one kind OF growth,
probably corn, the height and close culture OF
which to a stranger looks more like vast for
est than what it really is.
In others the favorite cereal may be wheat,
which, as far as the eye can reach, is seen bow
ing its golden heads to the passing breeze.
that while the weather, which is often destruc-
tive to one crop, may be favorable to another,
and that risk or failure is consequently greatly
increased when husbandman confines himself
to one or two products. A more general mix
ture of crops would afford protection against
the losses caused by exceptional seasons and
consequent sudden variation in prices, and
would also lessen the exhaustion of the land
following the continued devotion to one partic-
ular product The suggestion of the Commis,
sioner is well-founded, and its adoption would
more generally develop the agricultural capa-
bilities of the country, and add greatly to its
material wealth. Because certain Southern
States can raise cotton, sugar, &c, and other
that those same Southern States may not prof.
tably grow breadstuffs and provisions.

Grave charges are preferred against the
Hon. David Butlei: Governor of Nebraska, and
regular Republican nominee for reelection.
1t is alleged that, being er obfcio President of
the State Board of School Fund Commission
ers, he loaned himself SIT 900 out Of the school
fund, and with said money built, or is building,
a private residence in Lincoln, the State capi-
tai; that in addition he loaned $4,000 out of
the same fund to his business partner, one The
odore, to open a hotel in Lincoln; and that
while ostensible security has been given for
these loans the property mortgagcd is by no
means adequate to their repayment. Great
excitement is reported in Nebraska on the de-
yelopment of these charges, and the Republican
State Executive Committee was convened upon
the 18th instant to consider the same. The re-
suit of the deliberations of this body was that
Governor Butler must cease to be the Republi-
can nominee To this the Governor responds,
in language more forcible than elegant, that he
will see the committee - first. The Omaha
Tribune, the leading Republican paper in Ne
braska having declared thar it would not sup
port Governor Butler unless he at once submit
ted to and came forth unscathed from an inyes-
tigation we presume that the Governors i'm
pudent defiance will lead to a new nomination
and split in the Republican ranks. The re-
suit can hardly be other than Democratic
triumph in Nebraska this fall.
"A laboring man at Providence is fast learn
ing that ''honesty is its own reward" Some
time ago he found purse of 500 sovereigns,
lost by an English officer, and, on returning it
to the owner, received simple "thank you" for
his pains. The other day he picked up apock-
et-book in the street, which contained green
backs and papers to the amount of 49, ,000. As
certaining the owners name from the papers,
and his residence from the directory he carried
the property to his house. The owner was
very thankful, and proved his gratitude by tell
ing the finder that he was an honest man, and
God would reward him for his honesty.

The COTTON CRoP.-An exchange says: 1t
is confidently believed the crop Of the current
cotton year will reach nearly if not quite
100000 bales. This calculation is founded on
various facts. The first is the great increase in
the use of all kinds of fertilizers at the South,
the demand being constant and fast increasing.
This has brought into good condition many
plantations that had previously been allowed
to run down to low state. Periodicals of all
kinds, all through the South, have done
their utmost to stimulate this movement, and it
has been also rendered contagious by the mark
ed success of those who have used the fertili-
zers. In some cases we perceive q disposition
to carry the policy to extremes unknown even
at the North, and by q lavish use OF fertilizers
to produce extraordinary crops on small areas.
Another reason for this belief is that the avail
able capital of the South has increased, since
the close of the war, with a rapidity scarcely
conceivable. The planters have lived economi-
cally, and have put all their surplus means into
new stocks, machinery, fertilizers and buildings,
and are thus better able to raise increased crops.
Under the new currency act the South will re-
ceive the lions share of the new banking capi-
tai and circulation, and the facilities for busi-
ness thus afforded will impart great stimulus
to planting. The new banks will give an aid
to weaker planters that will be of great assis-
tance to them, and very much money that is
cow horded at the South will be released and
get into active use. Another reason is afforded
by the steady emigration of colored people
from the northern tier of Southern States to
the cotton region of the Gulf attracted by the
demand for field hands and the better pay Of
fered there. The freedmen are also working
with more energy and zeal than formerly, the
success of some of them in saving up money
and becoming property-owners having opera
ted as great incentive to others. Finally, the
railroads are all now in good running order,
and new ones are being projected and built
everywhere throughout the South.
