FARMING DOES PAY. The New Hamp-
shire Mirror and Farmer, gives Il report OF
a recent discussion by the Kensington
Farmers Club, in which Il Mr.. S. Brown
said
He believed that man wholly alive to
his business could make money invested in
farms pay better than government bonds,
and went on In detail to show how that
fields, pastures and woodlands paid did not
allow for taxes, for all should be taxed alike,
whether for bonds OR lands. Keeping stock
had paid for the last ten years, and he
could see no reason why it would not pay
as we'll in the future. Thought he could
tel Mr.. Weare where the value of his hay
went to, as he believed at one time his farm
could have been bought for about $1,000,
but since the gentleman had fed out all that
hay, $4,000 would not buy his place.

THE PEWEE'S SONG.

The robin red-breast, swinging gayly,
Is whistling loud his merry notes;
And | hear the brown-thrush daily,
In rippling waves his music floats;
But on the chimney-top l sit,
And cry aloud Pee-wee! Pee-wlt!
The lark flies upward with his singing
As if the gates Of heaven to try. -
The eagle scars with. .tireless wlnglng
Untilhe almost sweeps the sky;
But on the chimney-top I sit,
And cry aloud: Pee-wee! Pee-Witl
The sparrow's home is by the fountain
The jay-bird builds among the leaves
The eagles nest is on the mountain,
But have mine beneath the caves;
And on the chimney-top l sit,
And cry aloud: Pee-wee! Pee-wlt!
I have nothing that is comely,
My song and plumage both so dull;
But, though voice and dress are honely
M y heart of happiness is full; ~.
And on the chimney-top SIT, ~, J.
And cry aloud: Pee-wee! Pee-wlt!

Longstreet and ettysburg.

Gen. PeEdleton's g statement in a.
|publia lecture that Gen. Longstreet
was responsible for the loss to the
rebels of the battle Of Gettysburg.
has called out letter from ex-Gov-.
ernor B. q. Humphreys, Of. Mis-:
sissippi, who commanded a brigade
| in Longstreet's corps at that time.-
Gen. Humphreys gives a vivid ac--
count Of the three days battle, and
contends that it was not Gen. Long
street-wbo sdisabeyed orders, but
that j. E.E5B. Stuart is possibly
most responsible for the Gettys-
burg disaster. After ereviewing
1.-The principal events of the battle,
tthe Governor says: i2
| Nearly ten years have now past.
BY since the battle of Gettysburg,
land with many Gettysburg seems
to besan enigma. They seem to
be unwilling to accept Lees self-ac-
cusation. His overweenipg con-
|fdence in Stuart, they say, reflects
too much on his sagacityas Cen
eral; and, as Stuart was a 3pet3in
high feather with the army. and, the
country. the story Of his regard of
Lees instructions, by making a
brilliant dash and fruitless foray
on Meade's rear instead Of being
on his front and keeping Lee jim
formed must be lost sight of and
forgotten. Again: Ewell was
charged with lozing the victory at
Gettysburg by falling to seize Gulps
Hill and Cemetery Ridge on the
first day. Ewell was then living,
and, being in good odor with the
Confederates readily squelched the
Idea of making him the seape-goat
of Gettysburg. Now, nine years
after the battle comes Longstreet's
turn, and not being in high feath-
er and good odor with the South
ern people, his unworthy ambi-
| ton and "l!l-temper with Lee" IS
readily accepted as the true solu-
tion Of the enigma and the loss of
Gettysburg. My love for the true
soldiers of the Southern Confedera-
cy, true when we needed friends,
has not failed me, and [ may be
but too prone to defend them /; yet,
I am persuaded, that when an i'm
partial history of our civil war can
be written, the military fidelity and
heroic record of James Longstreet
will shine bright among the bright
est ornaments Of the Confederate
struggle for liberty and the inde-
pendence of the South.

and feelings of Augusta to the
road and the liberal subscription
that she would make as soon as she

Carolina were in earnest and de-
termined to subscribe according to
their ability.
The General then referred to
several parties of capitalists That
would iron, equip and put the road
in thorough running order as soon
as it was graded, or that would
loan the stockholders money to
complete it on a bond Of three
hundred thousand dollars subscrip-
ton. The General explained the
chances of the great Chicago Air
Line running through Anderson,
and making a junction with 9our
road at Dorn's Mine.
At the conclusion of this inter
esting statement of the status oi
the Road, it was resolved to open
the books for increased subscrfp.

What are Bitters.

Some important experiments as &c
tue effects of the beverages popularly
known as bitters," have recently been
described by DR.. Decaisne of Paris. He
finds that while the composition OF
these beverages is not uniform, they
generally contain either vermouth cI
absiuthe, in combination with the infe.
rior qualities of al, ohol. Concerning
tie effect of the essen tial oil OF absiDthe
ON organism, he finds that. quantity fol

stroy life sooner than prussic acid. He
adduces the evidence of various and
careful experiments, to show that ver-
month and absinthe produce epilepsy
in animals, and believes that epileptic
fits in many cases supervene from exces-
sive drinking of bitters. The basis of
bitters in the United States is common
high wines, and very common at that.
Still people will drink them, and the
compounders of them will get rich. and

The Farmers Convention at Chicago
debated the subject OF cheapening
transportation. Mr.. W. C. Flagg, OF
Illinois, msde the principal speech, ap-
parently rejecting the sentiment OF n
large class, the substance OF which was
that although he did not believe in the
governments embarking in the bust,
ness of constructing transportation
lines, he feared that there was no other
way out of our present difficulties.
Finally, resolutions were adopted
asking Congress to pass maximum
freight and passenger law regulating
trade between the States, and the legis-
latnres to regulate trade in the States !;
protesting against subsidies to private
corporations demanding "the cone
strnction of railroads and the improve
ment of water communications between
the Interior and seabOsrd, the same to
be owned and operated by the general
government for the purpose of afford
ing cheap and ample transportation,
and to protect the people from the eI-
actions of monopOlies - urging the
people of the interior to build up manu-
factories to make home markets, and to
free themselves and keep from debt /;
declaring that no one industry can be
protected by legislation, except at the
of all other industries, and de-
all special legislation.

"a man in the strength OF his years
would fall out of the ranks if he were
obliged to carry the enormous weight OF

that she keeps her place long is another

asked teacher of me. Half dozen,
perhaps I answered.; Sixteen, said
she, with emphasis sixteen, at the
least calculation, bands fastened more
or less tightly, according to the inclina-
ton of the wearer.' Does any one be-

many ligatures ? Add to this the diff

A Colorado Desperate.

Our readers are familiar with the
facts conDested with the bold attempt
OF one Major G. w. Graham to rob the
United Safes Paymaster rear Hugo, or
River Bend, Colorado. This bold man,
| single handed, stopped the ambulance
and shot at the pay ymaster and the armed
escort, but was Immediately shot down
and captured. He subsequently made
his escape to be re.cuptured. Graham
is described by Western paper as per,
feet gentleman in appearance, and has
always associated with gentlemen.
There is nothing of bravaao in his man.
ner or language. He seemed to be rath.
er q man OF bad deeds than words. He
entered the q. 3. army in 1861, at the
age of nineteen and served until 1870,
having passed through oil the interme-
date grades from private of volun-
teers to c"ptaincy and lieutenant Col.
Onelcy by brevet in the regular army.
He has been wounded several times
and is credited with galantry and brave
ry on all occasions. He entered the
army from New York. He was noted us
an Indian fighter.

account of his political proclivities he

States service in 1870, and from that
time his downward career has been
steady and rapid. He is well known to
