A BLIND CONFEDERATE HERo..-General
Adam R. Johnson is man very we'll known
in the West He is q Kentuckian, and has
been familiarly called "Stovepipe johnson" !"
from little incident in the late war, the par
ticulars of which We extract from the Calves
ton Nc,us:
of Newberg, Indiana, garrisoned by four hum
dred men, he having with him at the time but
thirty. The manner was novel. He placed
stoyepipes upon wagon wheels, and planted
these sham cannons on one side of the river,
and commanded surrender. The Federals
surprising that they would be torn to pieces by
these wide-mouthed monsters, surrendered, and
marched out and paroled.
The Baltimore Gazette says:
We have heard of Quaker guns at Manassas
and near Washington doing efficient service,
but this occurrence is new to us. General
Johnson was afterwards severely wounded.
For time it was reported that he was dead,
and he had an opportunity afforded to but few
men-that of reading his own obituary notices.
When he recovered he was blind. He has
since devoted himself to the aid of his fellows
in misfortune His last venture is we believe,
a novel one. He proposes to publish paper,
in raised letters, for the blind. He testihes,
from experience, that none but those who grope
their way in utter darkness can know how
much real pleasure such paper would afford.
General Johnson resides at Burnet, Texas, and
is seeking aid for this enterprise.

BREADsTuErs.-The prospects of the grain
crop next summer are particularly interesting
to the planters of the South, and, indeed, to
the farmers of the country at large. 1t is
highly probable that there will be an unusual
demand for breadstuffs. The London Times
states, on the authority of the ablest grain sta
tistician of England, that there will be great
falling off in the grain crop throughout % the tn
very unfavorabEe weather which has prevailed,
and England will be a heavy buyer of the
breadstuffs. Ga the heels of the bad season
comes the prospect of bloody war between
England and Russia, which will make her
need of foreign supplies of provisions greater
than ever. In this country the usual severity
of the present winter has probably destroyed n
great deal of the grain sown, and the deficiency
will have to lie made good in part by spring
wheat. The planters of the e. South can draw
cited above as to the state of the market. 1t
would seem that they would find greater profit
in sowing spring wheat freely instead of devot-
ing their attention almost exclusively to cotton.

SwINDLING CIRCULARS FROM New YORK.
For a long time, New York city has been
the headquarters of gang of swindlers, who
profess to sell counterfeit money. They send
through the post Office printed circulars 'ad-
dressed to people whose names they get posses
sion of, appointing the latter to be "confden-
tial agents" and pretending to be very cautious
and mysterious. Thousands of people in this
city and State have received such circulars, and
have wondered why they were selected as the
confidential agents of the pretended counter
feiters. But there is no selection about it.
The swindlers send their circulars to every ad-
dress they suppose will give them any show Of
success, with the hope of finding out of every
hundred or thousand some one person suffi-
ciently composed of knave and fool to bite at
the bait they throw out through their circulars.
And now and then they do find a customer of
the kind described who is knave enough to
want to get hold of counterfeits at cheap
rate, and fool enough to think these adroit
swindlers will send them. Such people gener-
ally get for their pains and their good money
package by express which contains fine
lot of-saw-dust. Of course, the man who
sends his money on such business deserves
nothing better The fraud has been carried
on for a long time. But the new Mayor of
New York (Havemyer) has determined to
break it up.-E.rchange.

was President heartless clerk in the Treasury
Department ran up an Indebtedness to poor

her off as he did other creditors. She finally
went to the President with her complaint, and
asked him if he could not compel the clerk to
HE offers his note," she said, "but his note
is good for nothing"
SSGet his note and bring it to me-" said the
President.
The clerk gave her the note, with the jeeriIng
request that "she would let him know when she
got the money on it?'
Taking it to the President, he wrote ANDREW
Jackson" on the back of it, and told her she
would get the money at the bank.
When it became due the clerk refused to pay
the note, but when he learned who was the en-
dorser, he made haste to "raise the wind" The
next morning he found note on his desk,
saying that his services were no longer re-
ouircd by the Government-and it served him
right

How TO GET AN EDUcATIoN.-Boys say
often, we want an education, but we are poor
and our father is poor, and we can't get it; so
we are going to learn trade, or 60 into store,

his force to it, he can get just as good one as
he wants. The way is open. Education Ed a ION aoes 0o1

STUDY THE NATURE OF Your SOFIA
knowledge of the chemical and geological SCI
ences is of great advantage to a farmer in suc-
cessfully conducting his labors; but an intelL.
gent observer can secure good knowledge OF
the nature of his soils in ten years, and know
but little if any of the exact sciences. With
out any knowledge of anatomy, of physiology,
the farmer obtains, by observation, knowl-
edge of the peculiarities of his animals. He
learns how to feed his pigs so as to fatten them
most rapidly and proitably, how to supply nu-
triment to his cows so as to cause copious
supply of milk, and he learns the temper and
habits of his horses and oxen, and accordingly
controls them to his advantage. Why should
he not learn by observation the nature and ca
pabilities of his fields, and be able to great
extent so to feed them as to obtain the highest
and best crop results from year to year7 Any
farmer. from ten or even five years observation,
can ascertain the extent to which his different
fields are retentive of moisture. He must learn
how we'll they withstand the drought or the
protracted wet of summer, how different crops
behave when the rainfall is small or copious,
in the growing months.
Physically considered some farms are not
adapted to the raising of corn, and perhaps
some other grains. Corn withstands drought
better than almost any other cereal, but that
fact affords no reason why it can be raised to
advantage on loose dry soils. Weak, puny
corn can be raised in a sand bank; but foolish
indeed would farmer be to plant his corn in
such locality. Corn requires good, reten-
tive soil, good fnc loan, in which to grow in
perfection, and if the owner of lands has no
such, let him not attempt to grow it. His
fields are better adapted to melons, beans, rye,
or perhaps wheat. 1t is useless to attempt to
force corn or any other of the noble grains to
grow upon naturally wet or low clay bottom
lands, without thorough drainage and deep
tilage. Such are better adapted to grass, and
grass farms, if kept in good tilth, are the most
profitable of any. Every cultivator of the soils
must first become acquainted with the physical
character of each parcel he has under his
charge, and then he will know what crops are
adapted to the several localities.
By drainage and deep tllage, the physical
condition of most lands can be completely
changed, and with the supplying of such chem
ical agents as are needed, crops of every de-
scription can be raised, satisfactory and remu-
nerative to the husbandman.-Mass. State Ag-
ricultural Report.

AN EASY WAY TO OBTAIN CHARTERs.--Mr
John Cochran, of Anderson, has introduced
into the Legislature, bill "to provide for the
granting of certain charters" which, upon
cursory examination impresses lis very tayora-
bly,. The bill contemplates that charters tor
churches, cemeteries, fire, hook and ladder, and
military companies, Free Masons, Odd Fellows
and Knights of Pythias Lodges, charitable and
religious institutions or societies, labor, agrl-
cultural, manufacturing, industrial or other
like societies and companies, shall be granta:.
BILE by, the Clerks of the Courts of the several
counties of the State Formal application
must be made, and if within ten days fifty per
sons. who may be affected by or interested in
the granting Of the said charter, do not file an
objection in writing, the charter shall issue, as
a matter of course upon the payment OF Tee
to the Clerk of three dollars. Acts of incor-
poration form now the most irksome and the
most expensive feature in the work of the Cen
eral Assembly The printing of the bills alone,
not to mention the time wasted in their consid-
Grafton, costs the State thousands of dollars.
ANYTHING which appears to simplify and econo-
mise the hitherto expensive method, must COM
mend itself to the people. 1t is bill, bowev-
er. which in our Judgment should De subjected
to the investigation and study of the judiciary
Committee, for it may be that it is placing
rather too much power into the hands of the
Clerks of Court The language designating
the kinds of charters, ought, we think, to be
more specific, and the Clerk should not be left
the discretion of entirely disregarding the OBJ.
ections which might be made. The.general
purpose of the bill, however, seems to US to be
good, and we hope that with proper modlhca-
tions it will be passed.-South Carolinian. ,.

THE COTTON TAX-SEvENTY MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN distributing the war, and for
q few years after, we thought that cotton had
lost its supremacy; that the cry, cotton is
king" would no longer be heard but we doubt
if it has been deposed from its throne, and fear
that in the future, as in the past, we shall find
that "cotton is king" The reasons which
made it so potent still exist. Cotton is the sole
product of the South. All parties are deeply
and directly interested in it. There is no other
section of the country which has not diverse
and conflicting interests, so that neither in the
East, nor in the North, nor in the central part
of our country is there concentration upon
single interest s..EH.
The power of cotton has been lately witness
ed in the House upon motion looking to the
refnnding of the cotton tax The vote which
was taken on Monday last, instructing the
Committee of Ways and Means to report bill
for that purpose, received the support of every
member from the cotton States, and of all
south of Mason and Dixon's line, with two
exceptions. Although deferred for the present,
it will come up again during this session, and
if not now passed, must at some future day.
The power which the united vote of the South
possesses is too great for either the Republican
or Democratic party to ignore. Each under
stands that if this strong minority is allied to
the other it will give it a majority.
1t is also known that some of the old Repub-
lcan members, when this tax was first i'm
posed including most of the Massachusetts
members, General Garfield and others, opposed
the tax as unconstitutional, and predicted its
repeal, and that we should be compelled to re-
pay the amount. These gentlemen, however
Strong they may be disinclined to vote for this
measure, can not, without going back upon
their expressed convictions and votes, refuse to
support it. The amount that is claimed is said
to be nearly seventy millions of dollars. Some,
however, think that the duty should be refund
ed only upon that which was exported, which
would reduce the amount about one-third; but
the difficulty arises of ascertaining to whom it
should be refunded, and what identical parcels
of cotton were exported. 1t is understood that
the Committee on Ways and Means will take
early action on this subject. What it will be
can not be certainly predicted.

JUSTICE TO THE SoUTH.-The New York
Tribune, commenting on the action of the
House on Thursday in restoring the names of
Southern pensioners of the war of 1872, says ::
"The House was manly and generous, yester-
day, in restoring to their place on the pension
rolls the Southern survivors of the war of 1872.
That they should have been stricken off that
brief roll in moment of patriotic passion was
natural enough, even though it may not have
been certain that they voluntarily sympathized
with the rebellion; but it is too late now to
discuss what peculiar views these aged veterans
Of another war had in 1862. Nobody will
taunt Messrs Butler Bingham and Willard
with having courage to say now for Southern
men good words which they would not have
dared to say during the late campaign. We
are heartily glad that these gentlemen can
honestly declare there is no longer any use in
polishing up the memories of the rebellion in
order to keep them bright"
And the Baltimore San says. 'The late de-
cision of the House of Representatives IL re-
store the names of Southern soldiers of the
war of 1872 and of their widows to the pension
roll is more important as indicative of readi-
ness to look over 1861 to 1872, than from any
great benefits it will confer upon the number
of persons in the Southern States likely to be
now full sixty years since the soldiers of that
period bore arms in defence of the country,
and the number of survivors must be very
small But the money compensation to these
survivors is the very smallest part of the mat
ter. If the action of the House may be re-
garded as indicating returning sense of JUS
tice and fair play to the Southern communities,
it conveys a significance which is of interest
