The late Agricultural Union meeting,
held in London, deserves special atten-
ton. The case is this, in brief Hodge,
as the Briton designates his farm hand,
is almost as stolid and long-enduring as
when his Norman master first put an iron
collar about his neck; and less than any
class of Englishmen has murmured
against the ruling powers. But Hodge
has found voice at last. The cause !:
Wages of from 81 so to 80 per week,
with families to support out of it, and
cottages little better than pigsties, for
which he is charged high rental by his
employer The recent rise in meat and
Goals has driven the already famished la
borer mad; mad enough at least to
demonstrate. A Mr.. Arch has become
spokesman for his class. He is a laborer
who has supported family on 81 75a
week, whose breakfasts, when he was a
hungry, growing lad, were bits Of dry
bread, dipped in hot water. These and
other doleful tales of starvation, the
farm hands set before the meeting. 9th
er matter for complaint lay in the evic-
ton of tenants from even their wretched

Moore. 'Ifs too bad now I've got to
stay indoors all day, and know l shall

there isn't going to be any sunshine at all;
and I'll have just TO stand here and see it
rain, and see the water run off the ducks

"Well, let's make a little sunshine, said
Uncle Jack

"Well, I'm going to start one right off,

Jack. CHOW, let me give you these
rules for making sunshine First, don't
think Of what might have been if the day
had been better second, see how many
things are left to enjoy, and lastly, do all
you can TO make other people happy"
''Well, I'll try the last thing first; and
she went to work to amuse her little
brother Willie, who was crying. By the
time she had him riding a chair and
laughing, she was laughing too

'But / haven't anything to enjoy,

"Hold," said Uncle Jack "here's an
old newspaper. Now let's get some fun
out of it.
"Fun out of newspaper? Why,
how you talk !"
But Uncle Jack showed her how to
make mask by cutting holes in the pa
per, and how to cut whole family Of
paper dolls, and how to make pretty
things for Willie out of the paper. Then
he got out the tea-tray, and showed her
how to roll a marble round it.
And so she found many pleasant
amusement, and when bedtime came she
kissed Uncle Jack and said

From the Montgomery papers we learn
that Col a. e.. Horn, editor Of the Merld-
ian Mercury, arrived iu Montgomery ou
Tuesday last. His visit we presume, Is un-
doubtcdly meant for purposes of confer
eucc--OT mt least of sOuuding-thc Alabama
Legislature ON the newly monted question
OF Mississippi annexation. Our readers are
already aware that the Legislature OF Mis-
sissippi has appointed three commissioner
10 confer with Alabama with a view Of re-
arranging the boundary line between che
states. OF this committee, we believe Col.
Horn IL the chairman; and we learn that
his view is that the Bigbee River ought %
be the line between the states. That would
give 10 Mississippi the territory lying On
the western side of The river including Che
counties of Mobile, Washington, ChOctaw
aud Sumter. II the river were still cOntiu-
ued to be the line throughout its length,
narrow strip OF territory belonging % mis-.
,issippi would fall 90 Alabama, including
portions of Lowndes, Monroe and Itawam-
