The FARMING INTERESTS OF TIE UNITED
SrATEs.-The farmers dc not seem to have
kept equal pace with their comrades on the
road to wealth during the last census decade.
In 1860 the farmers constituted about one
half of the working population, and owned
about onc-half of the wealth of the whole
country. The aggregate value of all property,
real and personal, in 1850, according to the
census returns, was S14, ,1S2, 1885, O6S, exclusive
of slaves, of which S7,9SO, ,493,063 was the
value of farm property.
In 1870 out of 10,66S,635 male working pop
ulation, 5,425,5OS were farmers, rather more
than one-half. ,
According to the census returns OF 1870 the
aggregate value of all '5e property IN one the
sl1,12i95S,747 was farm property, but little
more than one-third of the whole amount If
the farmers had held their own from 1860 to
1870, their part of the whole property would
have been $17, S9,OOO,O00, instead of SILL ,l24,
o58,747 as above stated, making difference Of
over S6,OOO,000, ,000--more than twice the
amount of the national debt In 1860 the
farmers owned So per cent. of the whole prop.
erty in the country, but in 1870 they owned
only 81 per cent. of it.

points. Let them fix this question, and then
ask the different counties to give aid

Ex-Governor Magofin, of Kentucky, said
whatever the cost of the road in Kentucky
might be, he would pledge the people of the
State for one half the money. He suggested
that the bonds thus contributed by the State
should be held in trust by the State Auditor
until the road, or portions of it, were COM
pleted. They should also have clause in the
charter, giving the people the right to subscribe
in bonds They were poor, for their money
was locked up in the mines which were worth
less now, but would be worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars when opened up. They had
two routes through Kentucky, but they had
avoided any controversy on this minor matter.
The legislature in Kentucky would be in ses-
sion in go days, and a charter could be put
through without difficulty.
In reply to the chairman, Mr.. Rae said he
thought that the appointment of State Com
mittees was unnecessary.
Hon. Mr. Jones on this, withdrew his mo-
tion to that effect.
Mr.. J. H. Stewart, of Indiana, offered resolu-
tions indorsing the present Chicago and South
Atlantic company.
A delegate said this had been done before,
by the adoption of resolutions offered at the
morning session.
In reply to delegate, President Raymond
stated the company desired to hold the full
control of through line to the coast.
The resolution was carried.
A warm resolution of thanks was passed to
Potter Palmer Esq, for his courtesy in giving
the convention the free use of hall, rooms,
and table; and also to the Chairman, Secre-
tary, and the Times.
Everybody feeling good, collection, amount
ing to $50, was taken up for the Shreveport
sufferers
Short speeches of thanks and cordialty
were made by the Chairman, Gen: Harrison,
on behalf of the South, and Mr.. Rae for the
North.
Mr.. Cyrus n. Mccormick extended an in
vitation to supper at the Sherman house, to the
delegates, at o'clock.
The Convention then adjourned.

THE BRAvEsr OF THE BRAvE,-Governor
Letcher the other day related very interesting
incident of the war while in General Kemper's
room at the hotel. He said that in one of the
battles below Richmond, four hag-bearers had
been shot down, and call was made for 8
volunteer to carry the colors. A STRIPPING
took the torn standard In few minutes the
staff was snapped by shot. The boy sat
down, unloosened a shoe~string, and tied it.
He started in front again, another bullet splin-
tered the staff. 1t was then fastened by the
other shoe-string He had hardly shook the
folds out second time when down fell the
flag, struck by ball. The shoe-strings had
given out. He unbuttened his jacket, ripped
his shirt into ribbons; and wrapped the broken
rcd, and carried the tattered ensign through
the fight.
Governor Letcher said "When they brought
me the boy with the shattered staff patched up
with shoe-strings and shirt-tails, made him
an officer and gave him che best sword Vir-
ginia had"
The gallant fellow was from Monroe county.
He was killed in battle--Le1ington Gazette.

The Late Cyclone in FlOridas

It seems that, after all the halcyon weather
of the present fall, the country has not entirely
escaped the great equinoctial storm. The Sig
nal Service reports, which had been delayed by
telegraphic failure, now disclose the magnitude
and violence of the Florida cyclone of the
9Th. It appears that this tremendous tempest,
which swept over the Florida peninsula and
bore away thence to the northwestward, all
along the path of the Gulf Stream, was one OF
the most terrific hurricanes ever reported. At
Key West the wind reached the velocity of
eighty miles per hour; and at Punta Resa,
in Florida, ninety miles per hour, while the
rose fourteen feet above the mean tide level,
submerging everything and washing away
everything mobile. Such s storm wave Is ex-
traordinary, even in the hurricane belts of the
tropics, and reveals disturbance which, in its
European track, must have done great havoc
among vessels which were overtaken in its vor-
tex. So violent was its force at Punta Rasa
that the supplies of drinking water were car
ried away, or probably ruined by the salt spray
dashed into the cisterns and tanks. The great
West Indian hurricane of 1870, at st. Kits,
not only tore UP by the roots many trees of
enormous size, but stripped all the foliage from
those left standing; so that the supply of water
was cut off from the estates by the drying up
of the numerous streams from the hills. A
similar result will probably ensue from the late
cyclone in the leeward West Indies, but it is
growing too late in the season for the crops to
be blasted and the soil baked by the sun. We
may hope that this tempest has exhausted the
fury of the Storm King, and that serene skies
will prevail. The Gulf and tropic bound ves-
sells from our Atlantic ports still need, how
ever to be wide awake and on the alert agails.

Thus we sailed for six miles, wrought up
10 gentle pitch of excitement all the time by
some new object or circumstance. The
tropical aspect of the country and the soft
air were so different from our Northern
cline, and so engaging, that when we had
nothing to shoot at, we passed our time
commenting upon the many curious forms
of Natures handiwork presented to US in
the trees, shrubs, moss and vines. And the
birds we saw-birds of the most brilliant
plumage what treat to the eye of

New Publications.

THE ALDINE. A Topographic Art Jour
nal. Volume V. New York: James
Sutton & Co. 1873.
The Aldine, as most of our readers are
aware, is monthly publication, edited by
the poet Richard H. Stoddard. The pres
ent volume contains the twelve numbers of
the last year, neatly bound, and makes an
unusually attractive book. The illustrations
are 80 numerous and beautiful, the typogra-
ply so absolutely perfect, that we know of
no similar publication which can approach
it in excellence and beauty. And while it
is unequaled in the points we have men,
toned, the Aldine is also worthy of great
praise for its choice reading matter. There
are good many stories and tales translated
from the German, and some from the French
and Spanish, all of which have a freshness
and originality which is very pleasing. There
are also many well known American con-
tributors-Julian Hawthorne, son of the
eminent novelist, E. G. Stedman, Elizabeth
Stoddard, and others. We know of no 9TH
er illustrated work which for So will give
the purchaser as much satisfaction as the
Aldine, and we commend it to those who
are thinking of making handsome present
to their friends as just what they want.

The Rev. Matthew Hale Smith, who
writes good letters to the Boston Journal,
says that, among his other peculiarities,
Henry Ward Beecher never furnishes his
choir with the hymns. He told Mr.. Camp,
the leader, that he didn't know when he
went into the pulpit what he was going to
preach; how, then, could he furnish the
hymns? Cant you give me some clew?"
Ii l did that, you would know what was
going to preach; and if you knew that,
would not preach it." He has no idea what
hymn he will sing when the sermon is end
ed; so the Plymouth choir sing without the
slightest rehearsal. While it is true that
MIR. Beecher prepares most of his sermons
on Sunday-for he says he "likes his bread
hot"-he not unfrequently changes his whole
plan after he gets into the pulpit. The pa
pers often furnish him with theme for dis
course. Mr.. Beecher is one of the finest
talkists in the world, and he can talk as well
on one subject as another, with warning or
without warning. Bnznr.
