.sCIod Hopper, and Cabbages.

We know not who "Clod Hopper" Is, nor
is it material that we should, but his article
in the PRESS viii not mislead any intelligent
farmer, and yet it may please the elodhopper
class to which he undoubtedly belongs. His
nom de plume is fifty chosen, and we are al
ways well-pleased to meet an antagonist who
sails under his own colors. That he is fair
representative of those who have great horror
of "book-learning," there can be no question.
We have met good many such characters in
the country in years past; but thanks TO agri-
cultural books and newspapers, they grow
less every year, and soon "Clod Hopper" will
tram IN very small company. Who has adj
yised farmers in Maine to enter the field of
competition with Western farmers i'm wheat
raising? We have not, but have advised
them to raise their own bread stuff and save
two or three million of dollars a year which
they pay to other States. 1t is mighty con-
venient to have thirty or forty bushels of good
wheat in the chamber, instead of being o big
ed to harness up old Dobbin and go to the
city after a Ssscrcl OF -four. Besides, be it
known to "Clod Hopper that our spring
wheat makes sweeter bread than the winter
wheat from the West, and we can raise quite
as much per acre on almost any farm in
Maine and more in the Aroostook country.
In the West 1t has been wheat, wheat,
years in and years out, no rotation of crops,
until the average yield is less than fifteen
bushels, and in California where forty bushels
per acre were once harvested now the yield
is about twelve bushels. ''Clod- Hopper
ought to know that man cannot live on cab
bages alone, and ii our farmers should 90 to
raising cabbages all over the country, where
could they find market for them? Besides,
tithe of the labor will raise an acre of wheat
which it costs to raise one of cabbages. Sure
ly there are not clodhoppers enough in Maine
to eat all the cabbages that might be raised
by our seventy Thousand farmers on 100000
acres No! mol Farmer of Maine. Select
your two acres each and prepare the soil well,
and sow them with wheat, and heed not the
advice of clodhoppcr AGRICoLA.

''WHo's AHEADT-A gentleman asks the
girls the following pointed questions:

"Could you love a man who wore false
hair on his head when he had enough of his
own? who painted his face and improved his
form as you improve { p yours? who pinched
his feet with small shoes, his hands with
small gloves, his waist with corsets; and
then, as if he had not already deformed him
self enough, tied huge hustle to his back,
and thrust tiny mountains of wire into his
bosom?' In reply to which lady responds: !:
'Could you love a girl who defiled her mouth
with tobacco, and loaded the air with fumes
of cigars who staggered home several times
a week the worse for liquor? who INDUCED
in fast horses, bet high at races, and swag-
gered around the streets with questionable
companions? Which picture wears the most
alluring colors?' We also see it reported that
Mrs. Van Colt says if she had all the money
ever paid for liquors she could buy every foot
OF land in the world. Very likely. And If
she had the money paid by women for back
hair she could buy every drop of liquor in the

South Carolina, the Charleston Ne,os con-
cludes "that, after all, the education of the
blacks and whites must be permanent cure
for our troubles. And this State, which now
gives nearly S400, 900 year for educational
purposes, recognizes this truth. We know
that the white people are anxious to improve
the blacks, both mentally and physically.
Their trouble Is that the school fund Is vast
ed, and the school system made part of the
machinery ola political party. Whenever
South Carolina has reformed government
far more win be done for the instruction of
the masses than can be done while the Scots
and Neagles and Pattersons lord it over the
State"

A MODEL obituary notice is thus given in
an Arkansas paper of a recently deceased fel.
low citizen:
''Mrs - died in the spring of 1867, since
which sad event Mr.. IS footsteps have
echoed down the corridors of time alone,
waiting for the summons to cross the dark
valley TO the other shore, which came at last,
and he went-life breathed out like the watt
ing of an evening breeze-happy to think
he'd never had a sick day in all his life-our
loss is his gain.'' .

The N. Y. Standard pays its respects to
Dolly Warden thus:
Out of this bewildering array of character
less, purposeless finery, but one thing def
mite has been evolved-the saucy. piquant
Dolly Warden. That has character of its
own, and Is only adapted for certain styles
OF person, but so pronounced is II that 1t Is
only suitable for home and country wear.
But Dolly Warden is to rage like an epidemic
through the length and breadth of this land,
and no woman will call herself happy unless
she has had it. Imagine Miss Mehitable
Screw in a coquettish Dolly Warden; but you
need not imagine it, for you will see her, and
your teeth will be set on edge, you will shut
your eyes, and put cotton in your ears.
