and, what amazed him moro was,
that it would give a couple of

Fogies.

The following from the Louis
ville Real Estate Courier correctly
describes n class which is probably
as large in Little Rock as in any
other city of like size in the Unit
ed States:
"In some loca tiles in the coutry
the epitaph Of the last fogy has
been written, and the sod is grow
ing above his dust; but, as if in
sympathy with the dust when il
was animate, the grass grows slow
ly; it seems determined to hold
back, and if possible not to grow at
all. In every great city Of the
United States, remnants of the fogy
tIibes still exist. They speak dead
languages, and are cternally pad
ling against the current ofprogress.
They prefer mud hole to u spark
ling fountain, a dirt road to paved
avenue. Speak to them Of submit
ting a proposition involving in
creased taxation, and then the tOgy
who has inherited a domain, or
who occupies a decent residence by
virtue of his marriage certificate,
shows his greatest utility he is
about as active as mud turtle with
n live coal on his upper crust.
Then il IS that his blood is aroused,
bis tongue unloosed, fire flashes
from his eye. lie talks glibly of
the injustice of the herd voting to
oppress him and the oppression OF
the laws which do not surround his
property with stronger defenses.
These human snails who draw
themselves inside their shells, un-
fortunately won't die. When the
fogy hears that new railroad is
to be built, or that a public i'm
provcment Of any kind is contem-
plated, he is emphatic in his oppo-
sition he is for aremonstrancc, and
uses his influence to arrest the car
of progress. No sooner, however,
is the work completed than he ad-
vances his rent, and swcars Justify
that owing to the Improvements
which he so strongly opposed, his
property is twice us valuable as it
was before the Improvement was
completed. The fogy is always
selfish and iIiberal. Ills ignorance
of results is generally assumed.
He likes to be benefited at othet
peoples expenses he likes to gath
cr what he has not sown, and in
this his selfshness bears all the
traits of inherenl mcanness of the
lowest type. 1t is not strange,
however, thai togy lives in him.

ARKANSAS.
Reasons Why Immigrants Should
Seek Homes in this State.
From the Arkansas Advertiser.

From the hrkaneas Advertiser.
One year from to-day will wit
ness the largest stream OF immigra-
ton pouring into Arkansas that ev-
or went to any state since the for
nation Of the American union.
Our reasons for mading this predic-
ton are these
First-The climate is superior to
that of any other state; mild win
ters and long and cool summers.
Outdoor labor can here be per-
formed every day in the year; cat.
tic and sheep can be carried
through the entire winter without
feed.
Standardization; the soil
produces to perfection every grain,
grass, fruit and vegetable peculiar
to the northwestern states; in ad-
dilion all the valuable staple crops
of the semi-tropies succeed well,
with almost absolute immunity from
droughts or failure, because Of the
great number Of water courses ia
the state precipitating moisture
during the hot season.
Third The lands are the lowest
IN price of any in the union at this
time. Kansas lands surrounded by
the same appliances of civilization
are selling for three times as much
per acre rs the same quality of land
here. Cotton land here rents for
$40 per acre, cash. Corn or wheat
land in the northwest rents for
so per acre. Good unimproved
cotton land can be bought at from
81 to $40 per acre; ~ per aero
will deaden and clear it ready for
tho piow. Tho first year it will
produce twenty five bushels OF corn
to the acre, the second forty BUSH
els, ,he third year, one bale of cot
ton, then it will rent for $40 per
acre. Say the land cost $40 per
acre, and 81 for, clearing, would
make it cost just sl7 per acre, when
it would then rent for $40. The
crops the first and second year
will pay for their cultivation. Men
of capital can even do much better
than this by furnishing the land,
tools, teams and feed for the teams,
and getting one half the crop when
ready for market. A bale of cot
ton IS about an average yield per
acre this will bring one year with
another, $50; ono half, $50 goes to
the land owner; So per acre will
pay the feed, wear and interest on
the tools, stock and land, leaving u
nett profit of S25 per acre to the
land owner. Or he can cultivate
his soil with the aid of hired help
and realize $50 per acre profit:
Now what caop in the north will
pay that profit per acre? A farm
or there can only work out doors
about two hundred days in the year,
and ono hundred of that is devoted
to making food for his stock to eat
while they are idle in the stable.
Here a farmer can perform outdoor
labor three hundred days OF the
threo hundred and sixty-fve, every
one of which Gun be placed to his
profit, as his stock requires no fod-
der, hay or straw to carry them
through the winter.
