| AGRICULTURAL CRUMBs.-The editor of the
about farming'' in the following manner We
know our farmers will listen to good advice,
even If it does come from way down east" :
Be prudent in planting one corn is often
enough for an acher, and if you must leave
anything out, why, drop your potatoes.
Keep your rakes in good order-Re formed
rakes make good husband men.
Farmers are not expected to be men of let"
tiers, but it is generally understood thvt you
will make A while the sun shines.
Your fiid may be " furrowed with care,
but it cannot be "harrowed by the recollec-
ton"
Even your grief may be OF moving char
acter, for when there ore no horses the farm
er's (s)teers will move the pillow.
No matter how much work you have on
foot, keep your tow out of the flax.
You must remember which are the most
noisy vegctsbles-the potato balls, and you
can make pumpkin boiler.
Keep in mind the active ones, beans will
run, you can see the cornstalk in the field,
and one vine that you plant you may lind hop
when it comes up.
Don't let your cattle stray; they often
wander to the most mysterious places; we
once saw cowhide in shoemaker's shop.
Best locks for your barn in winter-Bul-
locks.
Flower for the hayfeld-The winrows.
The sentiment of cheese is Astronomical,
for when forced to expression it gives the
milky whey.
Wien you get your stock IN for the winter,
remember you cannot wear the hoes you dug
the potatoes with.
Your wife may haste the chicken, but You
will have to SOW the crop yourself.
When you find the larks-pur in the country
it may be safe to judge the cattle go to the
fields.
If you are day about the head in spring it
may be from over-stufing some are savory
in the river in summer.
The flowers are no exception in following

CAPITALIZATION.

The New York World makes the present
unhappy condition of Paris pretext for
warning the people of this country against
the fearful lesson of Capitalization in
France, charging that at this time the
chief aim of the party in power at Wash
ington is to centralize power and break
down and subdue every sentiment of local
independence. To the dispassionate and
fair-minded observer Of political events
in the two countries the comparison the
World has improperly drawn carries with
X the antidote 5cr the poison intended to
be administered broadcast. There never
has heen disposiioR yet manifested by

pERvERs1ors OF THE TRUTH.

If the New York World relies upon the
Memphis Avalanche for. reliable news con-
cerning the disorders in Mississippi, it
will die in a state OF profound ignorance
as to the truth of such matters. The
Avalanche is peculiar in this respect. It
always takes what it calls the white mans
side, and its specially is to prove that
the nigger is never right. Probably this
is why thesWorld loves it. Even in the
disgraceful affair at Meridian, the Ara-
lanche invents story that Meridian itself
laughs at. The shooting Of Judge
Bramlette is called a "negro fusillade"
when there was but one gun shot fred
until the Ku-Klux opened their batteries.
A negro prisoner desperate in his mad
ness, and perhaps wicked in his DISPOSE
ton, shot Judge Bramlette, and then sew
eral innocent negroes were killed in re-
turn. This is what the Avalanche calls
"negro fusillade, " and upon this extraor-
dinary perversion the World builds its de-
tense Of the roughs Of Meridian.
; Now let us ask the World one question.
Was there any excuse for body of white
men at Meridian to attack a negro meet
ing and fire into q crowd of men peace
fully discussing their own troubles ? If
there were dangerous men in that meet
ing, if there were violent, threats being
made, if the community apprehended
trouble, would it not have been better for
all hands to 60 peacefully and arrest the
suspected parties and put them upon a
trial for their lives? Is this not ques-
ton that even the World might ask with
out injuring its standing in the Demo-
cratic camp? What interest is it to Re-
publicans to keep alive this fearful dis
order? The records of the South win
prove that they are the only sufferers. We
seldom hear that Democrats are killed or
mobbed. How often do. we hear
that Republicans and negroes are
mobbed and killed? In the name
of peace this state of affairs should be
suppressed. We do not say that the
white people Of the South are the work.
ems ofthese iniquities. But what We do say,
and the history Of the last four years viii
prove it i that : body Of desperats white
msn engage in this dsviltzy, and that the
power to arrest them il not apparent Of
