DEATH OF Hon. ANsoN BUELINGAn1E.-
Hon. Anson Burlingame, formerly of
Massachusetts, but more recently the spe-
cial envoy from the Imperial Court of
China to the United States and the Euro
pean powers, died at St. Petersburg, the
capital of Russia, on Wednesday, Februa
ry %.
Mr.. Burlingame was a New Yorker by
birth, and in his forty-eighth year. His
youth was spent in surveying on the
Western frontier; but he laid the founda-
tion of his education in Michigan, and re-
ceived degree at Harvard University,
Massachusetts, in 1916. In 1852 he was
elected to the Massachusetts Senate, and
became q representative in the Thirty
fourth Congress. He was reelected to
the Thirty-fif and Thirty sixth Congress,
and in 1861 was appointed by President
Lincoln minister to Austria and subse-
ouently to China. This latter position he
resigned in 1867, to accept a diplomatic
appointment as the first ambassador Of
China to America and Europe. Mr.. Bur-
lingame had given the Chinese govern
ment ample proofs of his ability and
friendliness, and exerted all his influence
to liberalize and at the same time strength
en- the Imperial government. This was
the main reason of his appointment. The
treaty between China and the United
States, negotiated by Mr.. Burlingame,
was ratified in July, 1868. A similar
treaty was subsequently negotiated with
England and France, and at the time of
his death, Mr.. Burlingame was engaged
in like negotiations at the Russian capital.
Mr.. Burlingame it was who broke down
in part the barrier which separated China
from America and Europe, and who taught
the lesson that nation, to have its own
rights respected, must begin by respect
ing the rights of others.

FENCE LAw.-While in Columbia we
received several letters, from persons in
different sections Of the State requesting
us to introduce and favor Bill to COM
pei all owners of stock to keep them in
closed. At the Agricultural Fair held in
Columbia last fall the proprioty of such u
law was under consideration and among
the proceedings of that body we notice II
Bill published, which proposes to leave
the question to the voters of each county,
whether or not stock shall be inclosed.
In the Anderson Mtelligencer of the 18th
instant, we notice communication ad-
vocating the incosing Of stock. These
facts serve to show that this will be live
question before the people of the State,
and as every farmer is interested in its
solution, he should be calculating the ben
efts and disadvantages likely to result
from it. The proportion Of arabic to
wood land in this County is as one to
twelve acres Oar ridges and mountain
sides are covered with the richest sum-
mer and fall pasturage, which to q great
extent supplies Columbia and Charleston
with fine beef cattle at no expense to the
owner for fattening Our mast, chest
nuts, chinquepins and acorns often suffice
to fatten our pork at little expense.
Thousands of pounds of pork were sold
in Walhalla last fall which had never
cracked a grain Of corn. For these rea-
sons perhaps the inclosing of stock would
be against the interest of this County.
On the other hand, many benefits would
result from such-a law. Necessity would
compel us to keep smaller number and
better breed of cattle, hogs and other
stock, which might be found more Geo.
nomical and profitable than our scrub
stock with all the advantages of pastu-
rage. 1t would prevent the loss of fer
tile lands whero fences run through bot
toms and open fields, &c. 1t is q ques-
ton which should be fairly and fully dis
cussed in every County Agricultural So
ciety in the State, and we suggest that
course to the Society in our County. 1t
concerns the farmers and they should de-
eide it.-KeoWee Courier.

THINGS TO BE SETTLED.-Come now,
boys, let us settle one or two things as
absolute ccrtaintics when you start in
life:
Ho who never drinks, never will be
drunk. That's so isn't it2 lie who some
times drinks, may be.
He who never goes into gambling sa-
loon, never will gamble; and he who never
gamblcs, novcr loses; but
He who goes to observe, may gamble,
and he who CANDLES will surely lose.
In ali these, is it not best not to begin
Beware of innocent beginnings in wrong
ways, and remember the old text: "Thero
is a way that seemeth right unto man,
but tho end thereof are the ways OF
death. ."-Hearh and Home.

Education for the Farmer.

| A bad system of agriculture-the OFT
spring OF Ignorance and indolenoe-im-
poverishes the soil and the planter alike.
It is under such system that our lands,
as rule, have grown less and less pro-
ductive year by year, till thrown out and
given up to broom-sedge and old field
pines. 1t is not "book farming" which
has worn out our lands and made farm
ing an unattractive and a comparatively
Improbable business, but farming with
out books-not education but ignorance
This ignorance still prevails too extern
sively. but at the same time we have ex-
ampies of skilltul, scientific farming.
What is the result of such farming? 1t
is not too much to say that the best farm
ina of to-day is fourfold more productive
than that Of our fathers, though we can
not claim TO be more industrious or ener-
getic than they. The use of improved
implements, doing better work and saving
labor at the same time liberal manuring,
adapted in kind to the crop to be produc-
ed, and more rational cultivation, have
combined to ensure the increased produc-
ton. Now the best farming of to-day is
educated farming-the result OF study
and thought-tho offspring OF applied
science-in other words, "book farming"
It is this kind of farming which enables
Mr.. David Dickson, of Georgia, to make
two bales of cotton to the acre on his
poor worn-out lands, and DR.. j. W. Par
ker, of this State, to harvest 200 bushels
corn from an acre of what was lately q
sour. malaria breeding quagmire.
We are not advocating mere specula-
tion-untried theorising-but carefully ap-
piled science-the deductions of philosophy
confirmed by experiment. progress with
prudence, practice with science" is our
motto.
We are apt to undervalue the debt
which manual labor owes to the intellec-
tual labor OF discovery and invention.
AS some one has aptly said: Patient,
laborious thought, applied to the prob
lens of pneumatics and mechanics, has
given us the steam engine, the locomotive,
the spinning jenny, the power loom, the
sewing machine, the reaper, the thrcsher
the grain drill and host of other labor
multiplying machines, without which, to-
day, we should be almost savages."
Let not the farmer, Of all men, despise
edueation-professional agricultural edu-
cation, particularly-but get all the
knowledge he can from books as we'll as
from experience, and see to it that his sons
shall have, so far as possible the advan-
tages which he himself may have lacked,
in qualifying themselves for the most hon
orable of all callings-the cultivation Of
the oil.-RuraE CdroliniaR.

The Manufacture Of Pig-IrOn.

jackson Furnace was built about the
year 1886. The next one built in the
county was Keystone, about the year
l848-9. Then the railroad was loca-
ted through this county, about the year
ls5o-5l, and ten new furnaces were
erected between the years 1852 and
1857. Of these ten furnaces, put up
during these five years, four failed be-
tween tie years 1856 and 1860, all du-
ring Buchanan's administration. The
companies who owned Limestone,
Iron Valley, Diamond, and Young
America, were utterly ruined. l did
think l would get the exact amount OF
the judgments rendered in our Common
Pleas at each term, against the furnace
companies in this county, during the
last Democratic administration but it
would require some time aud labor to
do SO, and it is not very essential, as |
have nearly the aggregate indebtedness
of each at the time OF its failure. The
debt of Limestone was about $50, 600,
that of Iron Valley nearly the same,
Young America SlO6,0oo, and Dia-
mond about the same Buckeye would
also have failed, but it fell into the
hands of men of sufficient capital to
carry it on, making iron which cost
$50. 90 per ton, which could only be
sold at from $1,000 to $1,000 per ton.
Buckeye company held their iron sever
al years, until the war brought the
price up to some $1,000 per ton. Mr..
Rathburn returned to me for taxation,
| when was Assistant Assessor, during
the war, several hundred tons that yet
remained at the furnace, and on the
railroad at Berlin. 1t was then taxed
50. 40 per ton. Being able to hold the
iron, was alone what saved this COM
pauy from ruin.
The failure of 40 per cent OF the new
furnaces, or S3 Is per cent Of all the
furnaces in the county, caused not only
the loss of the direct indebtedness of the
furnace companies, but Iron Valley
dragged down Bennett q Cos Bank,
involving loss of perhaps fifty thous.
and dollars more, while Diamond took
down the Bank of Isham d Dyer.
! With these furnaces and banks went
nearly all the business men Of Jackson,
and many throughout the county, be-
cause the whole business Of the county,
but more especially Of the town. was
based upon the iron business. The d.

four furnace companies could not have
fallen short of half million Of dollars.
And yet we are told that it is paying
business, and that the iron men are
growing rich, and becoming aristocrat-
ic and oyerbeariDg We are also fur
nished with the exact figures showing
to q cent what it costs to make each
ton Of iron. Commissioner Wells pre-
tends to do this. He may be honest,
but he must learn that these calcula-
lations amount to nothing when the at
tempt is made to work the matter out
practically. There are dozens Of mat
ters that 90 to increase the cost Of pig
iron, which are omitted in figuring up
the cost. Every once in while pipe
bursts, or a pump breaks, or the fur
mace works badly, or chills, aud stop
page results, causing loss ofhundreds
of dollars.
What the actual result has been to
many of the men engaged in the busi-
ness in this county, have merely
touched in this article. l shall pursue
this feature Of the business in my next,
because l still see in the Gazette, Com
mercial, and such organs of the Free
Trade League, that it must be conced-
ed without argument or statement Of
fact, that as a general rule, men engag-
ed in the manufacture of pig iron are
getting so rich that they not only do
not need protection, but that they need
a check, to keep them from controlling
the entire deStinies of the country.

Often one of the other preachers
would come to Aliens with Fullerton,
and after he would preach, the other
would exhort, and close the meeting.
Sometimes one of these would come
alone, and then he would preach.
Jonathan Rue was young man, Just
beginning to preach. He was a small
man, and like nearly all small men,
he wore q coat with a very long tail.
| have many times wondered why small
men so universally fancy coats with
long skirts, and why they SO generally y
marry large women. But so it is.
Jonathan Rue could not preach much
He fell into that disagreeable habit 30
common among many young ministers,
and ignorant preachers, of mis-pre-
nouncing his words through affectation.
| heard him preach once when the sub
stance of his discourse was as to the
several steps to be taken in religious
life. He had to use the word "steps''
quite often, and every time he pro-
nounced it ''stemps."
have not heard of Rue for thirty
years.
Job Kiltle was q sober, earnest,
pious man. thought If there ever
was a good man, Kittle was that man.
believe he is yet living in Portsmouth.
There was an old man named Titus
who sometimes preached at Aliens.
lie had a prominent nose, but his chin
and forehead retreated very rapidly.
In fact he had scarcely any chin to
speak Of 1t was customary in those
days to wear neck stocks--great broad
stocks, stiffened with whale bone. IT,
tus wore one of these, and his chin re-
treated beneath its edge, aud you could
only see his mouth above it. His voice
was husky and sepulchral, aud we bad
boys used to say that he had to tiptOe
to spit over bis stock.
Then there was Isaac Harding, pi-
GUS man, but of sad countenance. He
had also fallen into a bad habit, that of
adding the syllable ''um" to the end
of every sentence, and often to the end
of every word. 1t was something like
this: II tell you my friends-um, that
unless you repent-um, you cannot be
saved -um," and so on.
Harding removed to Iowa about the
year 1S49. was teaching in bis dis
trict in the winter of 1S48-9, on the
hill beyond Mabee's Corners, in Ham
ilton township. l understand that the
same old log school house is used yet.
Harding lived across Buck Lick, be-
yond old man Corners. He had sold
bis land, and was preparing 10 go. His
wife was very unhappp, aud she de-
clared she knew they would never reach
Iowa. The boat would blow up, or
something would happen to them.
Harding would try TO encourage her,
and inspire her with confidence. He
would trot his children on his knee,
and sing them, and he was always pa.

they sent several children to school, and
