Maxims for Farmers

The Hon. Horace Greeley, in his
address delivered at the Texas State
Fair, held at Houston some weeks
ago, uttered the following maxims
en- !. Only good farming pays.
Il. The good farmer is proved
such by the steady appreciation Of
his crops. Any man may reap good
harvest from a virgin soil.
Ill. 1t is far easier to mainta the
productive capacity of farm than to
restore 1t.
Nv. Rotation is at least negative
fertilization. 1t may not positively
enrich farm; it will at least retard
its impovsrishment.
V. Wisdom is never dear, provid-
ed it is genuine.
vi. The best investment man
can make for his children is to sur
round their youth with the rational
delights of beauteous home.
VII. A good practical education, in
Guiding good trade, is better out
tit for a youth than grand estate
and an empty mind.
VIII. A small library OF well select
ed books in his homo has saved many
youth from wandering into the
baIeful ways Of the Prodigal Son.
IN. Most men are born poor, but
no man, with average capacities and
tolersble luck, need remain so. And
the farmers calling, though proffer-
ing no sudden leaps, no ready short
cuts to opulence, is the suIest of all
ways from poverty ana want to com.
fort and independence.

Sure Thing on q Jury.

Young lawyers sometimes despair
Of defense which gives no encourage
ment; but old practitioners-more
especially when the fees are remun-
erative and certain--can sec no dis-
couragement held forth by the evil
dence not TO be counterbalanced and
overcome by professional acuteness
and sagacity well paid.
A prisoner was once arraigned in
Kent county, Mich, for stealing
pork. He retained young, talented,
and ingenious member of the profess
sion for his defense. Having listen
cd to the prisoners own story, and
heard from him what in all ppobabil-
ity the peoples witnesses would
swear to, he candidly informed HE
client that 1t was useless to waste
money on his defense.
Never you mind" was the conf
dent reply "you argue my case good
and strong, just as if You believed
me a prosecuted man, and will give
you $40"
The lawyer worked up to the con-
tract, aud before he had half sum-
med up no had the jury in tears at
the ~ are idea Of snatching such a
bright example of domestic and So
cial worth from the bosom Of his
family and the society of his neigh
bors, to be thrust among felons in
tho common Jail.
To his astonishment his appeal
was effective; tho prisoner was ac-
Quilted.
Closeted together after the verdict
and discharge Of the culprit, and the
$50 having been paid over, the law
yer said:
"By the by, B, that was a
most surprising verdict, considering
what the Government proved"
"Not at all, was the cool reply
six of them jurymen had some OF
the pork"
The murcury in that lawyers
bump of self-esteem fell to zero.

THE HERALD.
The Jews of Germany-Their Un'
Just Treatment.

An English paper says: "The
Jews of Germany have been much
distressed Of late by their threaten
ed exclusion from the solemn prayer
and thanksgivings for the late war.
1t seems that in 1866 already they
were neglected in this wise by Mr..
Muller, who evidently does not, in
his ministerial capacity as head of
the Cultus, seem to have heard of
such thing as Judaism yet. Then
il was that the Berlin community
presented to His Excellency that
there was a certain collection order
ed after the service in question, and
that since even Jewish money might
be acceptable TO the military fund,
they mi ght perhaps be permitted to
go through the preliminary service
as we'll Herr Won Muller then gra-
cioasly. gave his permission, and
great deal of money was collected.
This, however, WAS not to become
precedent The Jew might become
too proud if they were asked proper
~ on any other occasion. Accord
ingly, they were again left in the
cold, after having poured out their
blood like water on the French bat
tlefelds, and after having received
ever 30 many iron crosses-of course
without promotion to rank higher
than corporal And instead of
quietly and CONTEMPORARY ignoring
the intended slight, they, or GER
lain Bavarian rabbi in their name,
must needs go and again formally
ask to be asked to pray and TO pay.
OF course Bismarck at once gave the
requisite order, and happiness once
more reigns in the tents Of JuCah
and Israel. We can quite understsn
the state of sensitiveness in which
long oppressed communities remain,
even after the withdrawal of the OPP
preston but we would say Jewish
agitation for tho practical removal
of their disabilities which remain
in full force long after their thee.
retical abolitation throughout Cor
would be much moro to the
purpose.

Collector Murphy to Resign His Position.
There is perfect understanding IN regard to the
New YORK Custom House and tile retirement OF Mr..
Murphy after the election IN November is no longer
a question OF doubt. The President has all along
evnced determination not to force the Collectors
removal while a cloud OF charges was overhanging
him, but Mr. Murphy himself has relieved the admin
istration from its embarrassing situation. fhe har-
mony OF the republican party ana disposition not to
weaken Its prospects after the recent victories IN
Pennsylvania and Ohio and the possible victory In
New York are declared to be the tmpelling motives
in this new movement: The certainty OF Mr.. Muir
PHYS resignation, after SO many conflicting rumors
and SO many assertions to the contrary, will create
considerable surprise; but all speculation ends with
the announcement Of the fact. This determination
was only definitely arrived at to-day President
Grant occupying the attitude of consenting party
rather than OF an impelling power.
Relief for the Chicn9o Sufferers.
Several thousand dollars were raised to-day
among the clerks anu employees OF the Treasury and
other departments.
The Secretary OF the Treasury this morning re.
ceived kilograms from Londen and Canada iIs4uirlng

would be admitted free OF duty. The Secretary i'm
mediately replied that such goods would be admitted
free, and gave the necessary orders to Collectors.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.-TheN New York
Fire Department sent three steam Gre engines
to Chicago yesterday, at the solicitation Of the
Mayor of that unfortunate city. In the scarcity
of the water supply they are needed in case Of
the rekindling of the old FIRE or the breaking
out of new, as in such an event it would be
necessary to obtain water from the river and
lake. Apropos Of the Fire Department, we
learn from good authority that the Commis-
sioners are down to hard pan both in the mat
ter Of retrenchment and in the supply of funds.
In case they are kept longer out Of money the
efficiency of the brigade must be seriously i'm
paired. The Chicago calamity should warn
us against embarrassing in any manner the
management OF our Fire Department, and as
the Commissioners are free from the slightest
suspicion Of misconduct as their duties are
admitted to have been honestly, efficiently and
intenigently performed as they have brought
the brigade up TO point Of discipline and
effectiveness mover before attained, and as
they enjoy the confidence of the people, their
acquisitions for funds should be promptly and
cheerfuly met.

agitated and depressed for time, but the
effect will only be temporary. Indeed, we
think the disaster has been largely discounted
already at the stock boards and in financial
circles. The first excitement and appre-
hension Of the worst naturally created dis.
turbance. Spectators and stock iobbers.
who are always ready to take advantage Of
such state of things, seized the opportunity
to fan the fame Of excitement for speculative
purposes. In the course Of few weeks At
farthest all will be quiet again, at least from
this cause, and stocks and values will fall
into their normal condition. We shall soon
hear, probably, of the debris of the great fire
being cleared away, and Chicago beginning to
rise again in business and splendor. While,
therefore, we should do all we can to relieve
the Chicago sufferers. it should be understood
that there Is no good reason for a panic. The
resources Of the country and the industry and
enterprise Of the people of Chicago will prove
superior to this calamity. The first shock
being nearly over, let hope inspire us as to
the future.
