GOVERNOR HOFFMAN, in his speech at the
Mestoaesier Fair yesterday, said be had once
followed the plough for thirty minutes, and m
that time he had got enough Of it. Sensible
man, the Governor 1t has been so uniformly
the case that the great men of the country,
when they rise to make speech about them
selves, 60 of into ecstasies over their young
days Of farmer boy life, the great inspiration
they drew in at the plough handle, the marvel
lous culture and polish they obtained In the
process of digging potatoes, and the legal
lore they acquired shelling corn, that the
Idea has been strongly instilled into
our youth that none of them have
chance for the Governorship, or even the
Presidency, unless they pass at least part of
their early existence, being blistered and
freckled and mosquito bitten, on somebody's
farm. This impression has, indeed, been so
strong that, doubtless, many Of our promising
youths have fetched up at Sing Sirg in their
jealous endeavors to get good country edu-
cation. For our part we believe In the city
boy little. There is as good grit in the
honest young fellow who treads the cobble-
stones all his young days, and sleeps up back
alleys or wastes midnight gas, instead of
burning all the old farmers kerosene in trying
to get knowledge as there is in the average
clodhopper, and Hoffman is an instance Of it.
