tho object OF MS visit.
The departure OF Col. Tom Scott from
Philadelphia, on the 10th inst, on his
steamship, the Pennsylvania, for Liver
pool, was the occasion Of quite an ovA'
ton to him, the leading men Of the city
aud State gathering to see him Oh.
The Philadelphia correspondent OF
the New York Herald, in letter de-
scripiiye Of the entire scene, has the fol-
lowing paragraphs, that are OF interest
in this section:
lie remained 10 the cabin a few min
utes, and while there your correspondent
was favored with the brief outlines OF
Colonel SCOTS proposed movements
while in Europe lie expressed himself
as delighted with the idea Of an ocean
trip, as his arduous labors during the
past year or 80 had severely taxed his
constitution. lie would remain abroad
with his family until fall, aud then hoped
to return refreshed in mind aud body.
May | inquire" said the CORES.
pendent, "as to the truthfulness Of the
rumor that your trip TO the Continent
has not something to do with the Mem
phis and III Paso Continental Line over
which Colonel Fremont exercised swayY
The accomplished tactician was in deep
thought moment and then, raising his
head, said, don't know that ! am at
liberty to say as much. You newspaper
men are shrewd fellows and catch at
straws, but, after all il il weren't for you at
times ! don't know what the public
would do. To answer plainly, that is
one object of the trip. The French peo'
ple hold at least 100000 francs worth
Of bonds in that road, which were placed
on the market before the Franco-Prus-
sian war. The proposed line to the
Pacific, with the rich dividends prom
ised them by the orignators, gave them
confidence in the American project. Its
disastrous ending has turned capitalists
against anything American. Now, to
do away with all this l have fully made
up my mind to take up the bonds and in
demnify the bondholders " dollar for
dollar" and franc for franc" This
unexampled confession Of fair dealing
by the President OF the Pennsylvania
railroad will be hailed with satisfaction
throughout the country, and more
especially in France. The thing is I'M:
heard of in these degenerate days, and
Colonel SCOTS action will doubtless do
more to raise American credit abroad
than the prompt payment OF interest by
the Treasury Department. 1t is also
understood in well informed circles that
Colonel Scott, as soon as he arranges
this matter, will lay the subject Of the
Texas Pacific railroad before the Cont
mental capitalists, and bonds will be
placed in the market at an early day.
Shortly before bidding the correspond
ent adieu he gave him to understand
that such was the case, and at parting
said that the new steamship line in two
years time would prove such success
that several more steamers would be
| built.

DR.. Mary Walker, says a Washington
dispatch, to whom Mr.. Richardson is
said to have promised a government APP
pointment some four years ago, as al
ready stated in dispatches, upon the
then improbable contingency OF his ever
becoming Secretary Of the Treasury,
was, on Monday, designated for a clerk
ship in Treasurer Spinner's office, and
having taken the iron. clad oath OF office,
reported for duty on Tuesday. The
Secretary, however, took second
thought, aud finally refused to sign the
formal letter of appointment. The fe-
male doctor is distressed and indignant,
and the occurrence has revived the gos-
sip Of few weeks ago, that the Secre-
tary is unsound upon the great question
of the equality of women in the public
service.

DEFINITE OBJECT IN FARMING.

1t IS a serious drawback to the success
OF many farmer, that he is always un-
certain in his calculations for the future.
lie thinks some of selling out, and NOV
ing west or south, or somewhere else, or
he may let his farm and do something else
for a living for few years, till he can
make little more money to farm with, or
he may give up the business entirely, and
go into trade or manufacturing All such
feelings of uncertainty make him careless
and negligent of the duties of the present.
He does not drain his wet land, clear off
the rocks from his mowings, set out trees,
or build or repair, because he may not
stay here. So many people live along
from year to year, in half hesitating, halt
60 ahead manner, using up the best period
OF their lives in doubling if they shall al
ways remain where they are or continue
in their present business.
Mr. Harris, in the American Agricultur-
ist, hits the nail on the head in the follow
ing, from "Walks and Talks -
The kind of farming which | advocate.
and which l am endeayoring to practice,
is applicable anywhere and everywhere
| want to drain all land that needs drain
ing-at least, all land that is under cult
vatlon. l want to cultivate the land
thoroughly. want to get the weeds un-
der control. l want to allow no weeds to
go to seed; and | want to cause the weed
seeds already in the ground to germinate,
and then | want to kill the Young plants.
Then, too, want to make good manure,
and good deal Of it. The richer it is,
and the larger the pile the better it would
please me-
This is my agricultural platform. Here
l stand; and am willing to argue the
questions involved with the high farmers
ON the one hand, and the negligent, weed
growing farmers on the other The Dea-
con does not like my position. He wants
to raise side issues. He wants to talk
about high wages and low prices; about
cold winters and dry summers. He wants
to discuss the general unprofitableness of
agriculture. Except for amusement. I do
not argue this question with him. He and
are both farmers, and we mean to con-
tlnue to be farmers. That is settled to
start with. 1t is no use arguing whether
l could make more money as lawyer, or
whether he could do more good as min
lister than he can as deacon. He and l
are both too old to change our vocations.
Farmers we are and farmers we shall con-
tnue to be. and the question for as to con-
slider is which is the best kind of
farming for us to adopt Shall we
plough and SOW and tdke our chance of
getting fair crop one year in five when
everything is favorable, with a moral cer-
tainty of half crops Of grain and full crops
of weeds in unfavorable season.
The Deacon lodged this question. He
knows that his system is not profitable
He is too intelligent man to believe
anything else. But still he does not
change. He keeps hoping for favorable
seasons. He is not willing to spend the
necessary labor to clean his land. He
keeps trying some method of holding the
weeds in check rather than of killing them
outright If he was poor, and could not
afford to wait. there would be some ex-
cuse for him.

AT the battle of Dry Creek. near the White
Sulphur Springs, just before the Federals made
their last charge, cry ran along the liues for
am@unition. There vas an open field about
300 yards wide swept by the enemys shot,
To pass through this field was the only way to
get the ammunition, and to make the attempt
was considered death. Under these circum-
stances volunteers were called for, and Sergeant
George Peel, of the Kanawha Sharp Shooters,
volunteered to go. He successfully got the
ammunition, and returning was seen to fall in
the middle of the field. No one west to him,
for it was death to go. AS soon as night came
he was found lying dead with ball through
bis breast and the box of ammunition olasped
in one arm. Sergeant Peel's family live on
Lens creek, in this county1
1--WE are out of ammunition boysl
They re preparing for charge
To pass yon field for cartridges
Is death to him who dares;
'Tis swept by many a bursting shell,
And bullets thick as snow,
Listen, don't you hear that shout?
Who's brave enough to go2
A silence was along the line,
When louder came the cry:
who'll bring the ammunition, boys7
Who's brave enough to die? p
A thousand men were lying low,
Each had watchful eye;
They scan the field Of shell and shot;
70 go-it seems 10 die.
Up rose brave and gallant man,
He heard the swelling cry.
"Who'll bring the ammunition, boys2
Who's brave enough to dieg"
He stood-there came silent awe
Oier warriors brave and true;
TIL bring the ammunition, boys,
I'm not afraid to 60"
Thro' bursting shells and shrieking balls
Right firmly moves he on
Returning to the linas he falls
None dared what he had done.
And thus the brave are wont to die
When duty cal]s--no fear
They know that lifes mortality,
And give it for bier.
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.
