whom you associate. Are you doing
this-2 How long have you lived by

suddenly, and in his sins, how would
you feel when you come to stand at his

Savior, but, alas l-you never gave it. 2 =

1t is the small things that 60 to make
great and grand life. The pious DIR.
Bonar says: ''Did pious life consist
of one or two holy deeds-some signal
specimens of doing, enduring, OF suffer
ing-we might account for the failure,
or reckon it small dishonor to turn back
in such conflict. But a holy life is
made up of small things of the hour, and
not the great things of the age The
avoidance Of little evils, little inconsis-
tencies, little weaknesses, little follies,
little indiscretions, little indulgences of
self, little acts of Incidence, or indecis-
ion, or slovenliness, or cowardice, little
equivocations, alterations from high in
tegrity, little bits of covetousness and
penuriousness, little exhibitions of world
illness and gayety, little 'indiferences to
the feelings and wishes of others, little
outbreaks of temper, selfshness, or van
ity. The avoidance of such little things
as these, goes far to make up. at least,
the negative beauty of holy life.
"And then attention to the little du-
ties of the day and hour, in public trans
actions. or private dealings, or family
arrangements to little words, and looks,
and tones; little self-denials, and self
restraints, and self-forgetfulness little
plans of kindness, and thoughtful con-
sideration for others-these are the ac-
tive developments of a holy and useful
life, the divine mosaics of which it is
composed.
"And he who will. acknowledge no
life great, save that which is made up of
great things, will find little in any bible
characters to admire or copy

some of his scholars he is the only

everything good-manners, morals, re-

FARMERS CLUBS.
WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND
WHAT THEY MAY.

In former article we referred to an
expression of Prof. Welch, of the Prai-
RE Farmer, to the effect that farmers
clubs as hitherto organized, were purely
"fanciful creations That the remark
applies to only a limited extent. We be-
l1eve full statement of results would
exhibit. It is but few years since
they became generally popular. A few
have existed through a long series Of
years and the improvements instituted
through their influence have been most
marked. Better tools, better culture,
the use of more manure, and better care
in the saving of it, improved stock, freer
social intercourse, and consequently
greater refinement of the local society,
enlarged views of the farmers vocation.
all these and more are certainly results
more than fanciful. They are real and
substantial. Of the younger societies,
many of them mere limitations, some
for the want of mental force in the man.
agement, lacking the inspiration which
originality supplies, have failed to per-
form their full work.
Others have done and are doing better,
and as their purposes and advantages
are becoming better understood their
usefulness will also increase.
But there is yet more which may be
done and which, by all manner of means,
they ought to do, or be instrumental in
doing. We refer to the organization Of
general representative and delibera-
tive body where unity of action may be
secured. The farmers are considered
the legitimate prey cf the middleman
and of the transportation companies. A
correspondent states that "we are getting
through the grange two horse cultiva-
tors which cost last year from $50 to
$50 for $40 and $40, and string plows
at reduction from $40 to S14.'
This means simply that fifty per cent.
is added to the manufacturers price in
passing through the agents hands.
The same abuses exist in the selling
of our products.
/ The commission merchants, if reliable,
get full share, and If not, the discrep-
ancy is even greater than in the pur-
chases.
If all work together, it is in the pow
er of the farmers club to correct these
evils, and to do so openly, so that the
benefits may accrue to the general inter
est, whether a local organization exists
in every locality or not.
We rejoice at the general awakening

The Financial E1psdients OF the Ring
From Bad TO Worse.

The new echeme OF financial 'adJust-
ssmentn which is said to have received tne
approval of Governor Scott, and the details
Of which are given in our Columbia cores
pondence printed in another column is a
fitting climax to the system OF organized
robbery by which the Columbia Ring, with
tho assistance of venal and besotted Legts-
lature. have saddled the State With an over
whelming debt, and made South Carolina a
by:word OF mingled pity and reproach to all
mankind. The rascally clique OF which
Governor Scott is the head are at last thor
oughly frightened at the appalling pro-
portions OF the obligations which their
frauds and mismanagement have piled up.
They feel that their case is desperate, and
they clutch at desperate remedy. They
know that they have dragged the State to
the verge Of bankruptcy, and they are ready,
without a moments compunction, TO
dishonor her good name as they have de-
stroyed her credit. They care not Jot
who suffers, or what Infamous means may
be employed, provided they can seem "
succeed in wiping out ten or twelve mil
lions OF the enormous public debt, the exist-
ence OF which, as things stand, they are un-
willing to face and acknowledge, and yet
utterly unable to deny or explain away.
But the scheme on which, just now, the
members OF the Ring seem to rely with so
much confidence will not avail to save thenl'
Coacocted as it is in the interest OF gang
Of stockholders who have bought up the
uncertain millions OF the securities OF the
State for song, no wonder that its pro-
visions have been framed in the most
shameful disregard of the rights and just
expectations Of the honest oondholders. 1t
is some comfort, however, to know, even
from the meagre outlines Of the scheme
which have reached us, that it is likely to
prove as impracticable in execution as it
was unjust and corrupt in conception.

Probes and Tests.

What good does probing do? jim Fisk
was probed; everybody who is shot ID
propct,, ar1efeesr -ovIs0 KIT elpci ieuOe o.
mapy wears in journalism, and the reading
OF many thousand newspapers and many
hundred cases of gun-shot wounds, mas
not enabled US to discern the value OF
the probe as an instrument OF research
or relief. Occasionally some OF the cloth
ing, carried along With the ball into the
wound, is encountered by the probe and re-
moved. As a rule, however, all foreign
matters, except the ball, are driven out by
suppuration. The ball is more frequently
discovered under the skin by the tirger, and
cut out. Sometimes it is detected by the
probe, taken out by the forceps, or cut
down upon and then removed. Very often
a sac of cellular tissue is formed around
the ball, and it remains in the body, doing
no harm, except, perhaps, by pressure upon
some nerve or artery
We by no means mean to cast discredit
upon operative surgery. We seek informa-
ton. The question is whether probing upon
the whole does good, and, II 30, in what
proportion OF cases does it do good? On
the other hand, we would be glad for some
candid surgeon to tell us how often the
patient is injured, his fever increased by the
worry, annoyance, distress and disappoint-
ment caused by probing, which results in
nothing? Finally, it would be interesting
to know why probing in great many cases
may not be dispensed with.
As to chemical tests and the value oi
evidence by experts, it cannot be denied
that the issue of the experiments in Mrs.
Wharton's case has gone far to produce in
the public mind an absolute want OF faith
in analytical chemistry and all who dabble
in 1t. In future cases Of poisoning, juries
will hardly be persuaded so much as to lis
ten to the testimony Of so-called chemica
experts. 1t huu beaa- -p0iptedly said that al
the physicians who attended General lKet:
chum at the time OF his death believed be
was poisoned, while all those who never saw
him With one consent agree that he was moi
poisoned. Certain it is that before the re-
| butting evidence was adduced there seemed
hardly q doubt Of Mrs. Wharton's guilt
now her acquittal is matter OF course, un'
less, indeed, some testimony not yet sus
pected may be brought forward. Chemistry
| is no longer in favor. Its professors are al
| a discount. But no right-thinking man viii
| say the science is at fault. Its methods ir
certain cases have not been perfected, ant
it's experts are misnamed. They are bun
slers who should be cast out of the proies
sion. Much benefit may accrue as well tc
medical jurisprudence as to the cause o
science itself if the effect OF the Wharton
trial be what it ought to be, and undoubtedly
will be, namely utter scepticism, and bit
ter prejudice against chemistry, until preju'
dice and scepticism are alike overwhelmed
by the force Of perfected science, which in
its essence, Is, within limits, absolute truth.
