OrIgin OF Agricultural Eair..

Origin OF Agricultural Fairs.
KING DAVID OF THE JEWS PRESIDENT OF
THE FIRST AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
The following is taken from the
Farmers Home Journal:
/ or tile rnultifaricls objects to which
the interests and attention Of David,
King Of the Jews, was directed in pro-
noting the national policy OF his peo-
pie, We have, in very brief recital OF
the organization OF the "home depart.
ment," glimpse of the prosperous
state Of agriculture ip. the latter part Of
his reign. 1t appears from First OEroni-
cles. 27, that, in the department of the
interior were twelve distinct subordinate
departments Of Offices, the incumbents
Of which were doubtless Of the hrst in
telligenoe and skill, each OF his snppropri.
ate business. These offices we're ia the
following numerical order: /. Treasury;

Vineyards; 5. Wine Cellurs; T.. Olive
Trees; 7. Oil Cellars: s. Sharon Herd
man; 8. Valley Herdman; 10. Camel

shepherds.
David's wars had ended his enemies
subdued-the nation was settling down
IN pence. The military chieftan, from
planning ind conducting campaigns, be-
came the President of the National Agrl-
cultural Society. It was an era in the
history OF David and Of tho nation-a
delightful epoch in the annals of the
world-the formation Of an agricultural
society. The organization ia proof, not
only of the prosperous condition Of
agriculture at that time afnoug the Jews,
.l.., I, of oS
whom it must be admitted that he was
the originator or founder of ngricultnra!
societies.
The progress of the nation during
David's reign WIS very great, AS it was
generation under Philistlue svrvitide
chat it is rel4ted that '.there WAS no
smith found throughout tho lanti Of
Israel. but all ths Israelites went down
to the Philistines to sharpen every nau
his share, and his coulter, and his axe
aud mattock.', Bnt in Davitl's reign the
whole country seems to have been re-
solved into one great patent f,rm, under
the combined superintendent OF the
twelve" number so fnmiliar and pro.
minent in the national annals. If the
first agricultural societies hnd not the
annual nutumnal fair which pertains to
societies of modern times, it's instructor,
as briefly sketched in the sacred history,
had all the important elements obtained
by those OF the present day, after q
lapse of 5000 years.
Immediately succeeding the account
of David's agricultural society, which
appears to have been among the first
ucts of his life in Turning, is his farewell
address. The address was delivered to
the vast assembly composed of princes,
various officers. civil, religious aud mill
tary, instituted and appointed by his
classifying hand, and great concourse
of people. The occasion was in striking
contrast to lis flights in earlier days from
cave to cave. The war clouds that hung
dark. lowering aud heavy, were now all
dissipnted. and his unolouded setting sun
shone with aoftened but magnificent
aplendor, in that it was the birthday of
agricultural societies. the offspring Of
peace.

LAW NORTH AND SOUTH. .-THe New
York Times prints the very extraordinary
story that there are $1,000 men in New
York aud Brooklyn bundled together aud
bound by onth to serve ns election ''re-
peaters, according to the direction oi
their chiefs. Other sensational details
are given. This organization, if it exist,
comes within the direct terms Of the
charge delivered by Judge Bond, Of the
United States Circuit Court, 10 the jury
in tho cases of the unfortunates who
have fallen under Government proseou
ton in North Carolina. The Judge
charged. in terms. that any Organization
OF this nature was u conspiracy under
the Ku Klux Act of Congress, every
member Of which WAS responsible for
any act Of political outrage committed
by any other member. According to
this ruling and the Times story. $4,000
men III New York ara snhject to tiue
varying from $500 to ST., 900 and impri
sonment from two t. five years. at the
hands Of the United Suites Marshal aud
Judges. In order to understand what
has been done in North Carolina, it in
necessary to suppose these New Workers
arrested upon Irresponsible accusations,
carried Wholesale to Schoharie County,
tried before jury picked by the Mur-
shal in Counties where political feeling is
bitterest, and i'll such o way that the
whole of them shall be partisan Repub-
Iicans. It is not easy even to fancy such
proceedings in New York; but such, aud
far worse, aro those which have been
conducted in North Carolina.
