probably no class in society among
whose members there is SO little unity
OF action In reference to political Mat
ters touchingitheir interests as the farm
ing class. IE may be that the greater
independents Of agricultural life, end
the habits Of isolntion which it insensi.
bly, fixes upon those engaged in ii, las
something to do with the ''every. tub
must.stand.on-its-o -own-bottom" feeling,
which is common among the tillers Of the
soil. The great manufacturing centres
are always wide awake concerning every
pnblic measure affecting their business.
The learned professions have their asso-
Citations for mutual cid and cooperation
in important matters. The mechanics
and artisans are we'll organized for SELF
protection But the farmers, who are
by far the most numerous and powerful
class in the country. numbering more
than 100000 strong men, or more
than twice the number engaged in any
other occupation, and being nearly
equal to all other olasses Of society COM
bined, have hitherto been virtually un.
organized and bound by no common tie
so far as public affairs are concerned.
This lack of cooperation certainly does
not arise from the fact that the men who
furnish. the world bread and meat, and
own most OF. the ground on which we
live, are Of no intrinsic Importance.
The landlord Of the old English tavern
known as the Five Alls, in New Castle,
knew thing or two when he hung out
his sign. It consisted of five human
figures, each accompanied by motto.
The first was king in full regalia, with
the legend, II govern ALL" the second,
bishop in pontifcals, with the MOTTO
II pray for ALL" the third, lawyer in
his gown, with the motto, II plead for
all" the fourth, soldier in regimentals,
with the motto, 81 fight for ALL" and
the fifth, poor countryman with scythe
and rake, with the motto, II pay for
al. Whether the new agricultural
order known as the ".'atrons of Hus-
bandry" will determine to cooperate in
matters affecting the great farming inte-
rest, or whether they will allow them
selves to be used as mere stepping
stone for ambitious politicians, is q
question for the future to determine.
The great defect in the movement at
present appears to be the want Of ready
ready spokesmen in the ranks of the
farmers. We have no doubt that the
intelligent farmers already see the dis
advantage under which they labor in
this respect, and that they will at once
aim for higher and more thorough
education for farmers sons. Tie need
OF this is strikingly apparent every
where. The young farmers must be
educated, and we'll versed in business,
newspapers md books, as we'll as the
young professionally, manufacturers and
tradesmen. Knowledge is power. The
farmers can seize this power and use it.,
if they will. Good schools, good books,
good newspapers, literary clubs, do
batting clubs and circulating libraries,
should be found abundantly in every
County. Courier. Journal.

The extraordinary man who entered
town with only twenty-five cents in his
pocket, and afterwards rose to wealth
by untlring industry, has again turned
up. This time, he is living near La
Crosse. Wisconsin. Thirty years ngo,
he had nothing to dispose of but pair
OF old boots. These he traded off for
gun, snapped the gun for pony, sold
the pony for fly acres OF swamp land,
and SO went on, until he now owns sixty
six city lots, valued in all at $52, 800.
OF course, he will exchange these and
keep Oh trading until he accumuiutcs
untold millions. We do not see what is
to stop him. Young men vino have
failed to succeed in the East cannot do
better than emigrate West with pair Of
old boots, and wait patiently till some.

The HousB on rBoURBoN. --European
ad7ipet seem to indicate, the speedy
accession OF Bourbon smonarchs to the
thrones respectively Of France and
Spain. The Count de. Chambord in the
one country, and Don Carlos in the
other,s appear to- be beating down all
opposition, and We may yet be called on
tosee two revolutions go backward in
one day IA successor of Louis XVI
assuming the crown Of France, and one
of the same family as Isabella II ascend
ing the Spanish throne. Such an event
would be the occasion Of much virtuous
indignation. particularly in the United
States. Already there are sul!en muir
murs OF irritation, the portentous pre-
cursors ctas fearful storm. And yet,
asks the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinsl,
why is it The duty Of every good Ameri-
can to hate the Bonrbons7. What harm
did they ever do the United States?
It was q Bou1b0 "a King Of Spain who,
first of any man Id Europe, gave word
of welcome to<ths;t then struggling colo
nies. quafang hisSvine at a certain State
banquet in 1775 to the success of the
American States. II was the Bourbon
King OF France who, from ITS to 1888,
gave the United States outright 9,0OO,-
600 livres and loaned them "a, 600, 900,
not to speak Of guaranteeing their bonds
to the Netherlands Government for
10000, 600 more. Nor was this all.
When the struggling colonies found
themselves unable to pay either princi-
pal or interest. the King instructed his
Ministers to say that as for the princi.
pal, the time of payment would be e1-
tended for,twelve years. and as for the
interest. "His Majesty being willing to
give the said United States new proof
OF his affection and friendship. has been
pleased to make present OF, and to
forgive the whole arrears of inter- ~ to
this day." which proof. We read. "the
Minister Of tile Congress OF the United
States acknowledged to aow from the
pure bounty ofstho King. and accepted
in the name OF, the, said United States.
with profound and lively acknowledge
ments." As respects the present day,
the Bourbons should be welcome back
TO France and Spain, if for no other
reason, for this. that it wonld be simply
impossible for them to govern as abo-
minnlIy as the shallow charlatans who
now hold the reins OF power.

etc,i, that thieves and till.tappers may
well turn their backs on stores so guard
ed, aud feel profound disgust at the In.
genpity OF their natural enemies. The
mechanism Of these tlls is so arranged,
that no one except the owner or any
authorized person, can open them with
out giving an immediate alarm, by the
ringing of the guardian bell inside.
Then, again, the owner can, at any time,
by simple arrangement, alter the com.
bination, 80 that none but himself can
open it without not only on alarm, but a
series Of alarms, occasioLcd by the whole
set Of combinations, somo tills contain
ing thirty changes and some sixty; aud
thus these alarms become almost univ r
sal in storos, banks and offices. MIR.
Miles, the Treasurer and Superintend-
ent of this company, first established
the manufacture of these safeguards in
1859, and in 1869 IN incorporated COM
pany was formed, with AIR. S. \. Brown
as President.
The Messrs. Fairbanks, scale makers,
are the selling agents, having branches
in New York, Montreal and London,

throughout the United States, England,
France. Germany. China aud South

have been awarded them yearly since
1850. An. idea may be given of the ex-

that there are eighteen other alarm till

The REyENGRs OF T1MR.-Of all
places in Illinois, before the war, the
town OF Galesburg was considered the
most ferocious against the South for
slavery. Galesburg, because of it's love
for 1.-The man and brother" was called
by its enemies the "b.ack Abolition
hole" par crceAence. It might rcasona
bly, be supposed, now in the day Of alb
soiute triumph of her principles, when
South Carolina, Louisiana md AIissis-
slppl are dominated by legroes, that
Galesburg would be q sort OF Mecca or
Mcdiua for persons Of the colored per-
suasion. But this is rot the case at all.
Galesburg has lost her faith or gained q
new one. Will it be believed in Gath or
Askalon that Galesburg has refused to
admit colored children to her public
schools; that she refused, last Friday,
to lend the colored citizens All American
flag to carry in procession; aud that, on
the same day, colored man WHO at
tempted to procure q cup OF tea or
coffee was repulsed from three or four
restaurants on account OF his color?
All OF these things are specially true.
Verify, and indeed, times and men
change most wonderfully. Ten years
ago, who would have believed such
things OF Galesburg? It is tho day of
marvels, and, since Galesburg has faced
right about, we dare not wonder at any
thing happening-even Prof. Wise's
sale and prosperous trip across the At

"EIow's Tricks? s?"-Thcre is doctor
il this city who has speakiug-tubs
leading from the main entrance of his
buildiog to his office, which is up just q
few flights. For several days past, o
smart Coung wsg, named Swartz, has
amused himself by calling for the doctor
through the pipe, and then profanely
ordering him to set ont on an excursion
to Tsrtarus. For some time, this fun
was taken in good part. until the fine
humor OF the joke no longer became
apparent. Accordingly, one afternoon,
the disciple of Esculapius provided him
self with tea-kettle of water, heated to
about 2l0 degrees Fahrenheit, and
waited alongside the pipe. Pretty soon
the old, familiar sound came up through
the pipe:
"Say, doc, how's Tricks?"
''Tricks is better now-I guess he'll
get we'll" responded the doctor, reach
ing out after the tea-kettlc.
What's been the matter with him2"
Hes got burnt
"How?'
"I'll tell you in u minute"
ooh, you go to -."
The doctor had finished his last sen.
tence, and then let quart of scalding
water down the pipe. Swartz had his
mouth over It, and when the water
struck it, he was somewhat surprised.
Water was apt to surprise him, but ho,
water was an unexpected novelty.
The man above poured in the water
for about minute. and tten looked out
OF the window. The smart young man
Was getting along on the sidewalk at u
pretty lively gait, having evidently just
got up from sitting posture. He was

half an hour afterward, he found him
self able to speak, and inquired. "Did
that boiler explosion hurt 'anybody?"

The RACES. s.-Racing has always been
popular in the South. Her people
never fail to turn ont in numbers on the
occasion OF meeting, and few here
would acknowledge lack Of familiarity
with the horse. 1t is upwards OF cen.
tury since the first chronicled race was
run on green on Charleston Neck, fol.
lowed, few years aftcrward, by the es.
toblishment OF the South Carolina
Jockey Club, and the preparation of
first class track near this city. Since
that time, the turf hos steadily increased
in character and the quality of the
stock. Impo1.a:;oHs c! b!ccaed hc-see
soon begat care in the breeding, and
gave character to the sport. Some
idea of the increased strength OF the
supporters Of the turf may be had by
an examination Of the sporting journals
now specially devoted to that subject.
$50 thorough.breds ran in 1871, and
many more the following year. Our old
jockey clubs were known throughout Eu-
rope, and ranked high for their high cha
racter and strict dealing. During the ap-
preaching State Fair, this universally
admired amusement will be renews;
and kept up annually, the Auxiliary
Joint Stock Association having made
the necessary arrangements. A nav
track has been laid out and liberal
purses provided.

WOODSTOCK, May %, 1878.
The County Court commenced its ses-
sion here yesterday, Judge Barrett pre-
siding, Sustained on either side by
Judges French and Miller.
Prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Hewitt of the
Universalist Society here.
On call of the docket scventy-five
cases were put down for trial by jury,
but out of this number, doubtless, not
over a dozen will thus tried. The entries
of settled, continued" and Court, "
will dispose of the remainder of the 292
cases on the law docket, and ten divorce
cases on the old docket. The new en-
tries number III, besides the divorce
cases, and the Court of Chancery comes
in for 48 new entries, while the old dock
ct shows 80.
The first case on trial is that of Abra-
ham Adams, administrator of the late
DR.. Chandler, of Andover, VS.. Sewell
Fullam, of Ludlow. F. c. Robbins,
Walker and Goodard, of Ludlow, and
Gov. Converse.:for plff., Fullam, pro sc,
and John F. Deane for deft. The ques-
ton involved is the title of about 100
acres of land, in Weston.
The bonds of Sidney F. Bemis, of Bal
timore, who broke into Harris store, in
North Springfield, and stole a large
amount of goods, last year, were forfeit

ing costs, to satisfy the requirements OF
law.
Last evening Mr.. Murdoch, admins
traitor of the estate of the late Lyndon
A. Marsh, sold some four hundred vol
umes of the Marsh law library at auc-
ton, at the town hall, to small but
very select audience of lawyers, gathered
for the occasion. Many of these books
were of ancient date and bore the auto
graph of many men-eminent in their
| day-but who have now passed over the
river, to that land ''whence no traveller
returns" Aside from the lawyer and the
antiquarian the sale was of no public in
terest, and yet, to the man of middle
life, and past that age, whose footsteps
are fast finding the pathway to the last
of earth such an occasion cannot be voiC
| of special interest. Z.
