TATTLERS.

Every community is cursed by
the presence of class of people who
make it their business to attend to
everybody's affairs but their own
Such people are the poorest speci-
mems of humanity which exists upon
this blighted earth. It's well known
that almost every person is some
times disposed to speak evil of 9TH
ers, and tattling is sin from which
very few can claim to be entirely
exempt, > But the object of this
present article is to speak of that
distinct class of tattlers who make
tale bearing the constant business of
their lives. They pry into the pri-
vate affairs of every family in the
neighborhood they know the exact
state of one ncighbor's feelings to-
ward another; they understand cy-
cry body's faults, and no blundcr,
unthoughted act or misdemean or
ever escapes their watchfulness.-
They look for faults and find them
and allow all good to escape their
notice. They are well posted on
everything connected with courtship
and matrimony, and know who are
going to marry whom, and can guess
the exact time by every movement
of parties suspected Of matrimonial
intentions, and, if there's the slight
est chance to-eEeate disturbance,
excite jaa!opsyyr$;break up"
match, they taka advantage of it,
and do all in their power to. keep
people in state Of constant vexa-
ton. They glide quietly from gen
tleman to lady, from mother to
daughter, from father to son, aud in
the ears of all they pour the bitter
whispers of SANDER and abuse, and
at the same time, pretend to be the |
most sincere friends of those they |
talk to. Their nauseous pills of
SANDER are sugar coated with smiles
and words of friendship.
Tattlers are confined to no partic-
lar class, and they operate in ALL
We find them among the rich and
the poor-'upper tens" and the
GLOVER Million" in the church and
out of it. They are people who
have no higher ambition than to be
well informed in regard to other peo-
pies private business, to retail scan
dial to their neighbsrs, and to exult
in fendish triumphs over the wound
ed feelings and bruised hearts of
their innocent victims. -Erchdnge.

THE WAY TO KILL A TOWN

II you have house to build, send
off for all the material, and even en-
ploy workmen away from home to
do the job, while your home me-
chanics lay idle for something to do.
Send what money you have to ex-
pend away from home. You will
probably get it back again, but woe
to the mechanic and laborer, if he
must wait until it comes. 1t may do
for those who can stand it, yet it will
never do for the Poor Man, as he
must go somewhere to get his bread.
fyou see a stranger come amongst
you, just pick and fleece him Of all
he has. II will make you rich, but
it does not give the people Of your
place good name abroad, and no
one would wish to settle where they
were in danger of thus being robbed
of what they have.
Have a high esteem for that
mighty person, Myself. Don'tthink
any one else as good, intelligent, OIL
as respectable as yourself. Don't
associate, or look upon them kindly,
Consider them beneath you, then
they will feel the sting of Contempt
and leave your place, to seek other
quarters where they will find better
and kinder treatment.
Frown down every attempt to i'm
prove and advance the interests of
the place, because your taxes are to
be raised a mill or two, to make the
necessary Improvements.
If you have newspaper in the
place, don't support it. Say, sit
will not pay to subscribe tor a paper,
times are too hard

CROPS ADAPTED TO THE SOIL.

If a farmer would meet with the
greatest success in the culture of his
farm, he must select crops adapted
to his soil and in order to do this, he
must make himself familiar with the
constitution and capabilities of the soil
and then adapt his requirements
thereto. Some farms are adpted to one
routine of culture, while others are
better adapted to different; one may
be best adapted to grass and grazing,
such would hardly be profitable put
to grain ; and yet the owner of such
may, not having first studied to I'M
stand, be vainly endeavoring to make
money trying to raise grain; on the
other hand, some farmers may rely
on grazing, dairying, etc., on farms
decidedly best adapted to grain, or
other special crops. In the latter
case, they find their farms will not
carry the amount of stock they ex-
pect; their stock does not thrive, and
all their profits are consumed in pur-
chasing fodder, or trying other ex-
pedients. At the ruling prices for
dairy products, for the last decade,
we are inclined to believe that good
grass farms have been more profita-
bic, and will continue so to be for
many years, than those especially
adapted to grain. Butter, cheese,
milk, pork, beef and mutton have
commanded good prices, and the
present prospect is that prices will
be remunerative, for most, or all of
these for many years to come, as the
supply scarcely keeps pace with the
demand. Farms located at distance
from ready market will show a more
marked superiority in grass than
when devoted to grain. The expense
of transporting rough crops to mar
ket is much greater than it is where
they are concentrated by being CEN
verted into butter, cheese, milk, beef,
mutton, hides etc.
Stiff, moist clays, and low mucky
lands, will generally pay better in
stock and grass, while dry, sandy and
gravelly loans, indicate farms better
adapted to other productions, as
grain and hoed crops generally
Hilly rough and difficult ofcultivatiOn
are especially adapted to sheep graz
ing the air being pure on the hills,
and the grasses and heritage which
they produce being more palatable
and nutritious than the most luxuri-
Gus growth of lowlands. -Pfactical

A KU-KLUx
The Judge and A Scared Negro.

We heard pretty good joke yes
terday upon one of Georgia's Supe-
rior Court Judges, which we do not
believe has ever been in print. The
Judge in question, is not as handsome
as an Adonais, indeed he is regard
ed as rather homely, in fact by in
competent judges, he has been put
down as the ugliest man in the State.
These facts induce US to withhold
his name. But to the joke, which
we will tell as it was told to us;
1t seems that man was indicted
and put upon trial before the Judge
upon the charge Of playing Ku-klux.
One of the principal witnesses was
negro man. In the course of the
examination question was asked
which this witness declined to an
swer. The Judge was appealed to
to compel an answer The day was
pretty cold one, and the Judge was
well muffled up in his shawl and had
escaped the eye of the Cushi:e. In
leaning forward to order the witness
to answer the question, the negro
caught sight of him, and no sooner
had he done so than he exclaimed,
"By golly, dere's Ku-kiux now y
and at one bound he cleared the bar,
and in moment more he was out
of the court house, and running as
if all the Ku-klux khan was at his
heels. The negro is still of the opin-
ion that member of the khan was
on the bench that day.-Atlanta Sun.

A farmer in Macomb county,
Michigan, has a lamb having two
heads. four eyes, four ears, two tails
and eight legs, The body for about
half its longth is united the remain
ing hind and fore quarters are distinct
and separate. The head is divided
into six parts, forming cone with
separating sections. The eyes and
ears, nostrils, mouths, etc., are dis
perged about the several sections in
regular manner, but at the same
time are most repulsive to behold.

LAND AND LABOR.

Throughout our country, the two
great imperishable treasures are land
and labor. Unite the two, and you
have the foundation upon which all
the more imposing and Aeeting fab
RIGS may rest, and for the strength
of which the mind of man may ex-
haust itself in devising means and
methods. Intelligent labor owing a
we'll cultivated soil-this is the foun-
dation. And around this may
gather all the arts Of life, in which
toll shall receive competent subsis-
tence, and the hardship of labormay
be ameliorated by that mutual under
standing which should belong to an
intelligent and we'll educated com
munity. Without this, we can have
no repose-none of those accom-
plishments to which free people
are equal. If our Republic means
anything, it means a just under
standing of the rights of all mutual
consideration opportunity for each,
limited only by his facilities f; edu-
cation and responsibility for all, and
an acknowledgement of merit, wher-
ever it may be found. There is a
ground upon which all conflict may
cease, and the highest prosperity
may grow, the ground on which all
men as citizens are equally interest
ed in the welfare Of the community.
And next the efforts which man is
making for his ascent into the high
est regions of thought, those delic-
ious solitudes with their sacred COM
munion, comes his unwear;ed en-
deayor TO elevate and refine that
practical spirit of utility which plies
the ak to the primeval forest, plows
and plants and reaps the field,
bridges the river, navigates the
ocean, unlocks the gates of mountain
chain, explores with glowing engin'
eery the Tartarean depths of mines
drags up the spouting leviathan from
the abyss lifts from the earth to
warm and light our dwellings, great
black clouds, into which the forests
of an elder world have been crushed
and condensed; imprisons the mu-
tinous force of steam in iron cells,
there to work the bidding of its mas
ter, turns brawling rivers upon the
wheel of industry smelts the ore ;
poises the trip-hammer; FORCES the
anchor; tempers the watch spring !;
tips the gold pen with spark of ir-
iridium touches the needle with
magnetic life; stamps thought upon
paper; delineates the human face
by solar rays; backs up the ships
longitude in a watch case; balances
the steerage of tall navies on the
gamboIs Of the compass-box and
transmits intelligence by the electric
spark from continent to continent
beneath the oceans's bed. All this
is the work of mind indeed but of
mind dealing with material forces
and elements to supply wants and
suffering of our physical nature, Of
ten in the individual case, at the
cost of greater hardships than it re-
lieves.-Neso Jersey Mechanic.

TAKING THE RICH.

! .
common belief with the ignorant is,
that the riebishould be made to SUP
port the Gd$emment. The poor,
they argue, have not enough to pay
taxes the rich are secured in THEN
possessions by the State, and from
this plenty the supply should come
Hence arise the income tax and Other
imposts, SO laid as to fall on the
wealthy.
tits noteworthy that this doctrine
is preached by those who desire high
taxes, with themselves to spend
them. They tell the poor that It
makes no difference to them what
taxes are, so long as the rich have
to pay; and even that taxation is a
proper way toredistribute the wealth
that rich men have heaPed up, as it
enables the State to employ the poor.
In more than one school district in
New York the voters have, under
such leaders, ordered a good school
house to be taken down, and a new
and costly one built, simply to give
Themselves work.
In a country where universal man
hood suffrage exists this view is
gravely dangerous, and is worth ex-
posing. We shall not argue the in
Justice of saddling a few with the
cost of protection to all, nor shallwe
urge that such protection is most
needed by the poor who are toiling
and striving for independence. We
shall simply show that the burden
oftaxation cannot be thrown on the
rich, and point out the effects of the
effort.
When a man who is doing business
and earning money is obliged to pay
tax, he includes it in the expense
of trade or the cost of living. and
charges it in the price of what he
sells; so that every buyer has to pay
a part of it. On the other hand, ev-
cry one who sells to him any thing
whatever, does the same, so that he
has to pay part of their taxes
The poor man pays the taxes of the
rich in the price of everything he
buys. If he has tax to pay, he in
cludes it in the amount of wages he
asks, 50 that his employer has to
pay it. In this way every one charges
off his taxes on others, while they
charge theirs on him; so that in the
course of year, in a commercial
country like ours, all persons have a
share of taxation to pay. And this
is unavoidable ; for laying tax does
not furnish man with the money to
pay it he must get this in course of
trade or by production. Even those
who have fixed income, and are
not trading, are subject to this law;
tax on them leaves them just so
much less money with which to buy
the results.of labor, and to that extent
must labor go unemployed.
As for redistribution, the truth is
that wrongfully gotten wealth is often
gained by procuring sudden increas-
e8 of taxation, and sometimes even
by cutting ii down. 1t is always
men comparatively rich, who bride
or deceive law-makers, so as to en-
rich themselves in such modes. The
poor cannot do this. Hence, high
taxes do not benefit them. Even
when they get employment from the
Government, a few politicians or
contractors make large gains, while
the workmen profit little.
So, while low taxes help the rich,
they help the poor more. The lowest
taxation practicable is the interest
of all.-Ne,o YORK. Mercantile Jour

The Ku Klux and the T.eoguea, like
tho secret socioties that ruled France
in tho bloodiest days Of her bloody
revolution, have had n bloody time
in,the South. The Leagues have been
active with torch, and tho Ku Klux
have replied with the rolo and tho

societies call aloud for the dissolution
Of these two secret societies. Two
years ago we called upon the Prosi-
dent of the Icngues and tho King of
The kn klux to meet, shake hands,
make peace and give quiet to tho
country. The President of the
Lcaugues at tho time was Guvoror
