turbing their last pious thoughts before
mounting to the rsgions Of bliss, leaving a
flaming world behind them with all their
earthly pains and SORROWS. Anyhow, they
took water and reached the sinless isle,
floating on the bright surface Of this famed
Yankee river. Whether they shIl remain
eamped there and waiting for a mistake OF
a few days or weeks in their calculations,
We are not told. 1t is likely the early
winter will break them up and cool of their
pious zeal. There isa certain class of people,
not all dead yet, who viii occasionally
attract the public attention by their strange
doings. And that class is not a very small
one in the crowded North. 1t is curious
that in land, famed for the intelligence,
shrewdness and ingenuity of its people,
there should be so many exhibitions OF
folly and madness. No doubt the world
win come to an end some time, but the
Yankee, with all his ''cuteness, win never
be able to tell when.

LAST night we learned that news had
been received that the late Burnet Conven-
tion had rcnominated Dr. Westfall for the
Senate, and Col. Easley and Mr.. Felix
Smith for the House. The other vacancy
was filed, we learn, by the nomination Of
Mr. Brown, an old citizen Of the frontier,
a gentleman thoroughly identified With -
interests OF that section.

THE POOR CHILDREN OP THE DIS
TRICT.

The proper employment and education Of
children is a subject for grave consideration,
aud one which should be brought to the at
tentlon Of our lawmakers, both local aud
national, without delay. Iu many Of the
Northern States there are laws providing that
children under fourteen years Of age shall not
be compelled or required to work tho entire
year round, but shall have opportunities TO
attend school at least three months out Of the
twelve. Massachusetts has compulsory law
OF school attendance, which, however, Is al
most wholly neglected-a fact which proba-
bly, demonstrates its injustice. All Of these
provisions are, Of course, intended to be ap-
plicablc only to those who, IL Is natural to
expect, will either profit by our public school
system and "rlse in the world" or remain ns
they were brought into 1t, dependent upsn
the employment Of others In manual capacl-
ties. II Is hardly fair to say that our crlmi-
mails arc recruited from this class, as we know
that many Of them are men and women Of
education. and somo Of them OF natural re-
nnement. Nevertheless 1t Is true that the
majority OF tho prisoners confined In our
jails are ignorant people, born Of ignorant
parents, and It is an acknowledged
trulsm that vice and ignorance go hand In
hand. The simplicity Of ignorance and Its
innocence arc tho rare exceptions, only to be
found In the primitive surroundings OF the
country districts. Hence It Is that law
makers, while hcsitating or ncglecting to
legislatc upon this important topic, arc guilty
OF crime against posterlty, aud ono which
their own children will deeply aud earnestly
regret. We have In Washington peculiar
population, apparently pledged by tho GUS
toms Of centuries to menial employment.
The rapidity with which some Of them have
surmounted thoso customs gives evidence
that othcrp, with proper opportunities and
undor favorable circumstances, may do the
same. 1t lsa lamentablo fact that many OF
thom arc ambitlonless, and that our streets
are nlled with their yagrant offspring. Bright
and Intelligent as newsboys or bootblacks
and house servants, they do not necessarily
become criminals, but they are very apt to,
and when they do they arc Of the
most troublesome character. And what
Is true Of them Is also true Of
their white fellow-citlZons. We cannot
conscientiously advocate any system for the
correction Of this glaring evil which would
take from the parents one jot or tittlo OF law
full and proper control Of their children; but
we insist that the future safety Of the COM
munity demands some action for Its rcprcs-
sion. Let the proper committees OF our Legis-
laturc take hold OF the matter at once, and
in the meantime we suggest to the theorizing
humanitarians, who abound so plentifully,
that here Is subject for practical work. He
Is the best citizen who provides to the best Of
his capacity for tho good Of his fellow-men,
and what greater reward Is there on earth
than the satisfaction OF having earned the
title OF "best citlzen?"

MIR. FOOL AND TnH REPUBLICAN.

We have received O communication from
one A. Y. Rcdstone, mail agent on one Of
our Southern roads, who signs himself "Prcs-
ident Of the National Labor Council, which
Is too lengthy for publication In our crowded
columns. In fairness to the writer, however,
we explain that the burden Of his letter Ia a
charge that our criticisms Of Ex-senator
Pool (Mr. Redstone calls them "assaults')
have been prompted by desire on our part
to punish that person for having voted In the
Senate against the bill to give the printing OF
the Congressional debates to the proprietor
Of the REPUBLICAN. This Is untrue, and
only deserves q contradiction because Il pos
sibly may attract attention In quarters where
tho truth is not known. We measured Mr..
Pool long ngo and found him 10 bo, intellec-
tually aud morally, a very diminutKo indi-
Ndual. We regretted that the Republicans
Of North Carolina were weak enough
to allow themselves to be deceived by
him, but SO long us his incapacity and
thorough selfshneSs produced no serious
results VIC were satisfied TO remain quiet
When his Encouragement Of last summers
election became apparent, however, and
certain other matters In connection
Herewith came to our knowledge, we felt
impcllcd to boar with his preteusions no
longer, After his defeat, which was simply
dlsgraceful, he came 10 us TO seek our aid In
support Of his claims for o certain position
very near the President. In fact, he asked
US to help him into Cabinet position. OF
course we refused. The present Cabinet
suits US very well and certainly such failure
US Mr.. Pool would not suit US better. II we
had been In the habit Of rendering advice
regarding appointments, which We were and
aru not, we would have recommended that
he be not appointed. But our refusal in-
censed him to such an extent that he threat
cned dire vengeance. lie possibly stopped"
his paper--such people Us q rule do not like
the REPUDLICAS-and he certainly did vote
against our bill. Other Republicans, better
mon than be ever dreamed Of being, and men
for whom We have the warmeSt admiration
and respect, did the same thing. All this did
not kill US. We still llys as Mr. Pool knows.
Here Is tho history Of our connection with
Mr.. Pool iu L.shell, and 80 small In CON-
pass that the Gx-ag6nts Of certain railroad
monoPolles, whose agencies expired when
the new Senators from North Carolina took
their soats, may And room to copy II In the
columns OF their own newspapers. We are
content with this answer to Mr.. Redstone's
charge, and believing him to be an honest
man VIC think ltwlll satisfy him also. Il will
prove TO him, at least, that Mr.. Pool has not
given him all Of bis confidence, and possibly
open the eyes Of himself and friends to the
truth OF our charge that Mr.. Pool Is an ONCE
hunter by trade, aud d most dnscrupulous Que

FaII-Seediug Grass,

Good farmers are becoming, year
by year, in the west, more convinced
OF the :inutilitY of spring.seedIng to
get q good stand of grass when sown
with another crop, particularly if that
crop be oats. The reasons are simple
the principal one being that the young
grass, being srnothered by the crop,
grows spindling and with but little
root, and the usual drouth of summer,
after the grain is gathered, often kills
it entirely; or il it do not, it is so
weakened that the subsequent freezing
and thawing of winter heaves it, or
freezes it to such an extent that it takes
sometimes years to fully recover.
This is obviated if the seed be sown
after the crop of grain has been har-
vested. The land should be lightly
plowed, narrowed and rolled until
perfectly smooth. Upon this SOW the
seed at the rate of twelve quarts OF
timothy, unless clover be used on the
field, in which case eight quarts will
be about the quantity for ordinary.
1t is true many good farmers SOW less,
but experience has shown that ample
seeding gives the better and more
equal stand. The seed being sown, har-
row again with light smoothing har-
row, or some other implement that will
not clog, but will leave what trash
may be brought to the surface equally
distributed over the field.
The seeding for grass should be
made in the latter part of August or
beginning of September; indeed the
earlier the better, If seasonable rains
oocur,so that the grass may get good
loothold before the ground freezes. Ii
it be intended to SOW clover as a part
of the meadow or pasture, six to eight
pounds should be seeded the foIlowipo
spring, just as the frost is comirg out
OF the ground; and this need not be
narrowed 10. When the land become.
settled 1t is good practice to roll i
with moderately light section roller
to compress the earth about the roo,,
OF the grass aud clover.
If clover be sown alone, either to
swine or seed, not less than fi,tee,
pounds should be sown (twenty woul,
be better on perfectly smooth sur
face, as before directed, and withou
any other crop. The ground shoul
be rolled fat, when In condition, an
pastured when the crop gets sufficient
ly large if the soil be firm. Do ne
allow stock to occupy the land whe
there is any danger of its being poact
ed.
1t is perhaps necessary to say tbo
grass or clover seed should be We,
lightly covered; but in fall-seedipg
s grass it may be covered deeper ths
if sown in spring; never, howeve
more than an inch. Experience b
shown that rather deep sowing in Il
fall is better thst a more superfici
sowing. If the seeding of timOth
from any cause, have to be made
the spring, it should be without 9th
crops.- Western Rural.

Steady and Sure.

As a general thing says the Tribune
farmers need no quality more than
stability. Even some of the most in
tellectu4l farmers get discouraged, or
we may say upset, by low prices, and
they change to something that sells
higher. This has been illustrated for
the last year with reference to sheep,
for SO soon as the price OF wool de
clined great numbers who had large
and good fiocks, sold every head tor
what they could get, and turned their
attention TO something else. Quite
likely they take up sheep again in five
or six years, and then sell them off as
prices decline, but as they were never
ready when prices were high, they
made no money. On the contrary,
those men xho have stuck to sheep,
year after year, unconcerned whether
prices were high or low, have become
independent, because when prices
were high they made large sums, and
when low they did not lose, besides
their land all the while grew richer
/ The same is to be said of genera
crops, providing the soil is suitable
and one is certain to make monev ir
the longrun by being steady. Apotbe,
great advantage to be named bv stick,
1 ing to one thing arises from the stir
q that Is gained, and without If M rro,
; gress can be made. 1t is certainlv N.
1 truth that the sturdy farmer has III,
best sheep and cattle, the best wbo.,
II corn, oats, and potatoes, because h,
:, he has learnd by long experience e-
a actly how to go to work, and he bo
r risen to the dignity OF APPLYING sci
Ience TO his profession.
