The debts of the ten Southern States have
been nearly quadrupled under the maladminis
tration and plunderings of the carpet-baggers,
who have been sustained and upheld by the
present National Administration. Before these
States came under carpet-bag control. the en-
tire debt of the ten States was $40, AS, 300.-
Now it has reached 1921 ,626, OBS, an increase of
$215,210,715. Here we have an increase of
over two hundred millions in the debt of these
States. Such are the blessings of the State
Governments which Grant has been forcing up

LIFE IN A PRINTING OFFICE.

Few people are aware of the inside workings of
an Office, nor of the annoyances attendant upon
the publication of newspaper. 1t is impossible
to form anything like correct idea of the num-
be- of men there are IN this and every community,
who make 1t APPOINT about every other time hey
meet you to tell you of some important fact that
ought to be noticed by the paper, pro bono publ
Cos generally ", however. 1T turns out that the item
referred to is one in which the informant has an
ak to grind. and the newspaper is expected to be
the free horse on which he expects TO ride into
constantly annoyed by multiplicity OF commu-
ncations, which are always lengthy. and contain
nothing that anybody cares to see in print or
know anything of whatever, except the writer,
and perhaps one or two other particular individ-
uals and for whose exclusive benefit it is written;
it not for moment occurring to the writer that
communications for newspaper should be such
as would interest thousands of readers. The news
paper business il very exacting upon all connect
ed with 1t and pay is comparatively small. The
proprIetors risk a large amount Of money for
smaller profits, and the editors and printers work
harder and cheaper than the same number of men
In any other profession requiring the given a
mount of intelligence and training. The life has
its charms and pleasant associations scarcely
known to the outside world bnt it has its earnest
work and hours of exhaustion, which, likewise,
are not known to those who 'hink the business
all fnn. The idea that newspaperdom is the charm
ed circle where the favored MI mbers live lite of
ease, free from care, is mistaken one. Business
is business and the journal that succeeds is the
one that is run on square business footing, with
the same system as banking house.-PetIG

AGRICULTURE OF THE MORMoNs

Our people wonder much that the Mormons
have been able to build city and find subsistence
for their thousands OF people in such a region,
but when we learn the qualities of the soil around
them, and the nearness and abundance Of noun
tain springs, the wonder ceases. The labor need
ed to make their lands fruitful bears no compari-
son to that the New England settlers had to ex-
pend in order to prepare place suitable for their
crops; and while their soil still retains Its rich
properties, with no apparent exhaustion, ours has
TO be replenished with foreign materials every
year. They find the earth about them already
loose level and rich; they pour water over them
and their vegetables grow abundantly. aid fruit
trees are weighed down with their burdens.
1t is true that the have TO dig long bitches, and
to construct long sluice-ways from the slopes of
the hills above them but this is all. There are
no forest trees to be felled. stumps to dig up,
no rocks to remove, no deep blowing to be done,
and no chemical fertilize to be added, before
they can reap rich returns from field and garden.
They simply knew 90 years ago what the rest
the American people are juEt discovering, that
the greater part of Central desert il in reality
no sert at all, but the richest meadow land, mi
nus one property-water. And water seems to be
the ouly want of the world fter we pass the Ne
braska plains. Where brooks and rivers flow,
man can live at his ease: VIII ere these are want
ing he forsakes the land sets to work like the pa
tient MormOns to lead down the melting SHOWS
of ighb boring mountains to water his Grops dur
