Farmer Jones invites farmers Smith,
Brown and Robinson to drop in Of an
evening, and they have Il chat. OF
course the subjects discussed are those in
which they hold common interest
stock, crops, the results of labors and ex-
periences, and their hopes and plans for
the future The interchange of ideas is
mutually entertaining and instructive,
and they desire that the conference may,
like Ledger story, be continued, 81
farmer Smith asks the company TO meet
next week at his house. Other friends
drop in, and thus it comes about in a
vera natural way, that a farmers club is
instituted with no parade rnOise-grows,
in fact, like Topsy This is the whole
affair; rules, bylaws, places Of meeting
to accommodate growing numbers, are
mere matters of convenience provided
for as the occasion may arrive. Three
years ago a club ut Elmira, this State,
was commenced with seven members. 1t
has 100 members now, who meet weekly
during winte!, and at longer intervals
during summer; who possess already
library fund $500. The result is that
this Club has introduced improved stock
and new seeds and implements; that
valuable experiments have been tried and
their issues noted and discussed A farm
ers' club in Connecticut has kept up its
organization for IA years continuously
another on Long Island has, during the
past few seasons purchased at wholesale
over $50, 900 worth Of fertilizers for the
use OF its members, saving thereby a
third Of that large sum. A recent con
vention OF farmers clubs in Illinois had
delegates from II local associations,
whose members aggregated 1000, ranging
from 80 to 800 for each. Several Of
these clubs cooperate in buying supplies
at large saving in cost. Now these are
illustrative cases Of the thousands Of as
sociations among intelligent and enlight
encd farmers But only a commence
ment has been made as yet. This co-ope.
ration is not exceptional, and not until
there is farmers club in every township
throughout America, or possibly several
will the work attain completeness.

A m other Version about tsRe Newton
County NiscegemaGiOn Scandal.

The girl, though pretty, was extremely
weak, mentally - almost approXimatin9
idiocy.
The circumstances of the case, we learn
from the proper source to be, that the girl
once lived in Mobile, where her nea rest rel
atives able TO do anything for her still re-
side. To Mobile she had been extremely
anxious 20 so, as was known for the last
twelve months, to live with her brother
She agreed to run away With negro wo-
man, and go to Mobile about two months
ago, but the plot was broken up, and the
scheme defeated.
This negro, Elias Chapman, being en-
ploved on the place. where she lived, mad an
opportunity to learn her great desire to 90
to Mobile to her relative, took advantage of
that circumstance, and falsely promised TO
detray her expenses. and carry her to that
place, and help her hunt up her relative
Thus she left her home, in good faith. but
unfortunately for the weak minded and in
nocent girl, her treacherous guide led her
out into the back settlements. in denSely
populated negro community, where he
forced her into a system OF wlfery, IN graft
fication of his own helish lust, and love for
social equality.
We learn he now claims her as his lawful
/ wife, entirely forgetful of the only back
one he has left behind in tears and anger.
/ He is now supposed to be lurking around
/ in the neighbOrhood near Enterprise, and
I viii probably go down as far as SnuDuta,
west of which place, some ten or twelve
miles, he has some relatives, grandfather
| and brother-in-law.
This is q case of daring impertinenc. ana
villainy, that shoald call forth the con dem
nation OF every friend of tha white woman
| of the country, and we do hope the friends
| of Gecency. and of white society, Will Keep
a sharp look out, and if fouAd. arrest and
send him back To Newton, where we are
/ assured, he Will be prosecuted, If there Is
any law to be found, in defence of the white
| women of the country.

FARM.
ECONOMY Among FARMERS.

The greatest drawback. unquestion-
ably, TO the South OF late years, ha,
been want of capacity or training in
her citizens TO practice that .igid econ
omy in their domestic matters that was
rendered necessary by the results of the
war They endeavored to live in the
same style, and indulge in the same ex-
/ travagances, rs they did before their
/ property was destroyed. Their incomes
/ fell far below the demands of their arti-
fetal wants, and, TO keep up appearances,
many even of the comforts of life were
sacrificed. Palatial mansions that were
once the abodes Of a princely hospitality.
with plantations attached, only were left
/ in many cases, TO their owners. To keep
/ up these, required large expenditures for
servants. Not 10 keep them up would
betray a poverty in their owners which
they did not like 10 confess; and SO in
many cases, year after year they hold
on, hoping for some change for the bet
ter, running deeper and deeper in debt
each year, until their whole estates are
consumed in ministering 10 a false pride.
We have seen many such instances, and
III every one there was a deep-rOOted I'M
happiness, a cankerous knawing At the
heart an unmanly irresolution a want
of moral courage to accept poverty and
90 bravely TO work. And yet, when the
shock came-when all was lost, we have
known these same men 10 rise superior 10
all their universities, and become the
hardest Of workers, training their sons
up TO bare their arms to toll in the field,
and their daughters % the accomplish
ments of housekeeping. If the sublime
courage 10 acknowledge poverty had
been displayed at the termination of the
war, they might have raised from the
wreck of their fortunes enough To have
made them comfortable.
There is Il change going on for the bet
ter. Men have had time to look around
them. The practice of economy is be-
coming more general. The key which
will unlock the treasures of comfort Is
being sought after. Contentment and
honor dwell with economy. 1t is now adj
mitted that he who makes n dollar per
day and saves fifty cents, is by far hap
pier, and enjoys more of the comforts OF
life than be who makes fifty dollars and
spends fifty-one. It's the amount saved,
not the amount made, that gives satstac-
ton and enjoyment. There is a supreme
pleasure in knowing when one lies down
at night, that he has made some advance
in the right direction. There is "A cor
roding disquiet and a deep mental agony
when one feels that he is going backwards.
The first is happiness, and stimulates to
renewed exertion. The second saps all
energy, breeds dissipation, and makes
life miserable Economy is a great
virtue, and forms the foundation of some
of our highest pleasures. Successful

From the Nation, Rep.)
The Presidential Interferenc in
fERe SOmfIR

We pres ume people are not generally
satisfied with the condition of the South,
and there are numerous signs that the
most ardent friends of the Enforcement
Act begin to doubt its value very seri-
ously. Passing such an act for the pur-
pose of suppressing Ku-klux outrages
they begin TO see somewhat resembled the
amputation Of limb in order to get rid
of ball The ku-Kluxery, if that be
the proper term, has been suppressed;
but the indirect effects of the measure,
which are the ones which it is most diff
cult to get an average politician to bestow
any thought upon, now begin to show
themselves. One Of the very first was,
of course to arm the Federal Government
with enormous power over the State gov
ernment-power such as 1t had never
possessed before As we pointed ont in
these columns at the time Of its passage,
it "declared that to be rebellion
against the United States, which was
nothing more than violence to individ-
uals, and permitted the writ of habeas
corpus to be suspended in time of peace;
it authorized the President to employ the
military forces in suppressing opposition
to the State law, without an application
from the State authorities; it extended
the prohibition Of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to cases Of private wrong; and
clothed the National Courts with juris-
diction over ordinary crimes and with the
function of ordinary police repression"
When we said all this, it was mere theory
or prediction; we now see 1t verified in
practice. The act has actually converted
the General Government into supreme
arbter Of State affairs at the South, and
has taught the factions which in nearly
every Southern State are contending for
the possession Of the Treasury to disre-
gard the local public opinion and the
State Constitution and laHs, and look to
Washington for the means Of overcoming
their opponents The worst of this is,
too, that the General Government does
not interfere under some clearly defined
code Of procedure, but in the exercise of
vast semi-military discretion, which
makes all things seem possible to the ad-
venturers by whom the South is plum
dered. The condition Of politics in that
region at this moment bears close and
striking resem blance to that Of the Span
ish-American Republics, inasmuch as in
both two sets Of adventures are con
stantly striving for the mastery, and in
their striving totally disregard the local
opinion and laws. In South America,
however, they speedily take arms and end
their quarrels by civil war; things do not
reach this pass in our Southern States
solely because the President stands ready
to interfere, as soon as the parties prepare
to come to blows; but if there were
power south of the Rio Grande which
would prevent the politicians of that re
gion from killing each other, public life
in that region would closely resemble
public life in our own States lately in re-
hnllinn

Old Age.

An old man is like an old wagon with
light loading and careful usage it will last
for years but one heavy load or sudden
strain will break 1t and ruin it forever.
SO many people reach the age Of fifty, or
sixty, or even seventy, measurably free
from most Of the pains and infirmities
Of age, CHEEKY IN heart and sound in
health, ripe in wisdom and experience
with sympathies mellowed by age, and
with reasonable prospects and opportu-
mites for continued usefulness in the
world for considerable time Let such
persons be thankful, but let them also
be careful. An old constitution is like
an old bone-broken with ease, mended
with difficulty. y young tree bends to
the gale; an old one snaps, and falls
before the blast. A single hard lift, an
hour of heating work, an evening expo
sure to rain or damp, a severe chill, an
excess of food, the unusual indulgence OF
an appetite or passion, a sudden fit Of
anger, an improper dose Of medicine, any
OF these, or other similar things, may
cut off a valuable life in an hour, and
leave the fair hopes of usefulness and
enjoyment but Il shapeless wreck. -EX-
change.

S.und on Farming.

The following views on farming were
thrown out by Mr. Greeley in his speech
at Baltimore, and they so entirely cover
the ground of successful culture that we
give them a place:
/, That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits Of the capital
and labor employed or, in other words,
that on impoverished soils no one should
cultivate more land than he could enrich
with manure and fertilizers, be it one
acre or twenty.
2 That there should be law compell-
ing every man to prevent his stock from
depredating on his neighbours fields.
3. Tina; green soil is more economical
that loose pasturage.
T. That deep tilIage is essential to
good farming.
5. That the muck heap is the farmers
bank, and that everything should be
added to it that will enlarge it and in
crease at the same time its fertilizlng
properties
s. That no farmer or planter should
depend upon one staple alone, but should
seek to secure himself against serious loss
in bad seasons by diversity of products.

Summary Execution of the Fiend
From the Port Gibson Stand

From the Port Gibson Standard.
In our neighboring county, Jefferson, has
lately occurred one of those lawless deeds
which it is too often the task of journalism
to notice. On last Monday, the Both ult.,
about dark, as Mrs. DR.. Humphreys, on her
return from Rodney, had arrived within
few hundred yards of her home at Old
Greenvlle, she was assaulted by a negro
man named Turner Thompson. A negro
boy about IA years OF age, who was driving
Mrs. Humphreys buggy.ran to the house for
help, but it came too late TO prevent the
ruffian from effectiug his base design, and
brutally violating her person. The negro
was arrested and was Identified by Mrs
Humphreys and the boy, and brought to
Fayette and lodged in Jail On Wednesday
following, a number of persons, white and
colored, proceeded to the Jail. and taking the
keys from the sheriff and ty ing him,
to prevent his interference, they opened the
Jail, took out Turner Thompson and sum-
marily hung him TO a tree. This negro was
considered lawless and desperate charac-
ter previous to this outrageous act, which
cost him his life.

Raising poultry in connection with
miscellaneous farming, is one of the most
profitable and pleasant departments Of
Western farming. For the amount Of
capital necessary no kind of stock-raising
will give larger profits, but too many OF
our Western farmers are disposed to look
upon raising poultryas rather small and
insignificant Business. The time was
when raising chickens was attended to
entirely by the farmers wife and children,
and even they were often grudged the lit
tie grain they used to feed the chickens,
but then the profits we're not so great.
Eggs would sell for five cents per dozen,
and spring chickens 81 a dozen, but now
we have a ready market all over the
West for eggs and poultry at good prices

A Remarkable boil of Cotton.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
of Tuesday, says 8 Yesterday the quo
tation committee of the New York Cot
ton Exchange were presented with a boil
of cotton which has been acknowledged
by experts to be the largest and most re-
markable shown on this market The
presentation was made by Mr.. French
Of Messrs. Morton Bliss & Co. The
boil has spread in a peculiar fan-like
form, from large, strong stem. 1t was
grown from improved Dickson seed, cul-
tivated by F. c. and John Morehead, of
Catalpa plantation, Washington county,
Mississippi. The sample shows the i'm
provement by selection and cultivation
which has taken place in four years,
from first experiments. This boil con-
tains twenty-four seed cells. The seed
was PLANTED May 24.@-The plant was in
jured by drouth and worms to some ex,
tent; but six hundred bolls were counted
on some of the stalks. Many of the bolli
were of the ordinary form. The plan
tiers expect to improve the seed so tina
it may produce ten pounds of lint cottor

Are you in trouble: Work it off. Don't
try to quench your sorrow in rum or mar
cotics. If YOU begin this you must keep
tight on with it, till it leads You TO ruin
OF if you try to pause, YOU must add phys
ical pain and degradation to the sorrow you

condition is the most pitiful who, having
sought to drown his grief in debauch with
shattered nerves, aching head and depressed
mind to face the trouble again. That which
was ut first painful to cOntem plate, will,
after drink, seem uubearable. Ten to one
the fatal drink will be again and again
sought, till its victim sinks a hopeless, pititul
wreck. Work is your true remedy. II mis-
fortune hits you hard, you hit something
else hard There Re nothing like good, solid
exhausting work to cure trouble. There
are some great troubles that only time can
heal. aud perhaps some that can never be
healed at all but all can be helped by the
great panacea. Try il, YOU who are afflicted

EDITORS APPEAL Il witnessed an
amusing trial before a colored squire in
this place to-day. Two of the citizens
here got into a dispute. One of them.
with a double-barrelled shotgun, attempt
ed to defend himself, the other having
six-shOoter The deputy-marshal spoiled
the fun by arresting the parties and tax
ing the shotgun and the pistol and the
parties before the squire for trial. The
squire called the court to order by saying
"All you nigroes take off your hats in
court" Then leaning back in his chair
with all the dignity and pomp of Cesar,
sang out to one of the parties: care you
gilty or not gilty ?" 'Of what, said the
party. ''Gilty presenting arms with intent
to KILL" said His Honor. Not gilty"
was the answer "What is de proof"
asked His Honor. The witnesses came
forward and were examined by His
Honor. Not charge in the indictment
was proved by the witnesses, but after he
got through with the examination the
squire folded his arms and said 'Now,
jintlemen, Pse here to spose Of the law,
but | doesn't want to be hard wit you, |

law. [ cant decide dis to be salt and bat

the party remarked: of your Honor
please, [ am charged in the indictment
with presenting deadly weapons, with
intent to kill Not word in the charge
has been proven. If your Honor insists
upon so large a fine l shall appeal from
your decision !" The squire then re-
marked: "Now, Mr.. --, if you is
'sposed to be fussy, l will bird you over
to court" But at this point the marshal
took His Honor out. After showing
him the Importance of reducing the fine
to stop the appeal N order that he could
pocket the cost and fine, His Honor
reduced the fine to 80, cost, 50 each.
This the parties agreed to pay. Thus
ended this interesting trial.

Cundurango has been the subject of a
protracted trial in the cancer wards of
the Middlesex Hospital, London. Official
reports of the treatment with this root
state that not one single indication of
improvement had been observed In any
case, the disease either running its usual
course, or the patient exhibiting symp-
toms of arrangement of system attribute
bic to ordinary alternative medicine. II
was also stated that large number OF
persons, misled by the reports of cures
coming from the United States, were
paying exorbitant prices for Cundurango.
The feeling was strongly expressed that
the public should be made aware of the
utter worthlessness of this nostrum.
