American Woodlands.

In discussing the distribution Of
American woodlands, Professor Brewer
said that though Maine is the great
source Of pine and spruce lumber. the
hard wood species predominats in that
State. The wooded area Of New Eng
land Is not diminishing. but the amount
Of sawed lumber Is lessening-an indi-
cation that the trees are cut younger. In
the Middle States the wooded area Is
sensibly and rapidly becoming smaller.
The New England and Middle States
furnish hard wood trees; in tho South
eastern States. from Virginia to Florida,
is belt OF timber which supplies the
hard and yellow pine; and the North
western region contains immense areas
OF common pine. From the Gulf of
Mckee 10 the Arctic Ocean stretches a
trssless area $50 miles wide ON our
northern boundary. West OF this region
il the narrow wooded Rocky Mountain
regisn, and west OF this is tho barren
region Of the Great Basin. On the
Pacific Coast are some OF the noblsst
fores, regions OF the world. and official
Government reports say that ths forests
in some parts OF Washington Territory
arc heavy enough to ''cover tho entire
surface with cor,l-wood ten feet in
height"

Live it Down.

Never finch before scandal; if your
good name is assailed, take it quietly.
Breath is wasted in nothing more lavish
ly than in negations and denials. 1t is
not necessary for truth to worry itself,
even if lie can run a league while it is
putting on its boots. Let it run and get
out of breath. A man who spends his
days in arresting and knocking down lies
and liars, will have no time left for speak
ing the truth. There is nothing more
damaging to mans reputation than the
admission that it needs defending when
attacked. Great sensitiveness to assault,
on the part of any cause, is an unmistak-
able sign of weakness. A strong man
and a strong cause need only to live an
affirmative life, devoting no attention
whatever to enemies, to win their way,
and to trample beneath their feet all the
obstacles that malice, or jealousy, or
selfishness throws before them.-EI-

Official statistics of this State show
very clearly that the bulk of the taxation
is local. The National and State taxes
are very light, compared with the county
taxes. The fact is suggestive, and proves
what we have often said, that the work OF
political reform should, like charity, begin
at home. That is, il should begin at the
ground and work up. The essential prin-
ciple of our political system is local self
government. So long as that is kept in
pure and healthy condition, all will work
WELL but that neglected or debased and
the whole system will go wrong. The
stream cannot be pure while the foun,
tain is corrupt. The great evil of the day
is local misgovernment, and any reform
to be thorough and effective, must begin
in the counties.-Indianopotis Journal.

Profits OF sheep Farming In Nebraska

The farmer who settles on the fertile
prairie of Nebraska, should make "live-
stock" watchword. A correspondent
in that State sends US the following en-
couraging showing" made by Mr..
Myers, of Gage County, sheep farmer,
who has been about four years in Nebras-
ka. Gage county is in the southern part
of the State; and branch ofthe Bnrling-
ton and Missouri River Railroad runs
through it. The land is good and the
natural grasses sweet and nutritive; but
it is no more than a fair average of Ne.
braska. south of the Platte.
Mr.. Myers thus Figures" the problem
of sheep farming in Nebraska, with flock
of 1,0G0 head 100 tons of hay, costing
$500 per ton for putting up, $500; 500
bushels of sheaf oats, 500; shepherding
for 8 months, $3.50; wages of one man for
a months, 500; do, one month $50;
washing, shearing, and packing wool,
5000; salt, S35; shedding for winter, $50;
losses at two per cent, $70-total, 81 ,035.
By 4,500 lbs of wool, at doc. per h.,
81 800; 400 lambs, at $3.50, 1000; total,
$2,sOO
Mr.. Myers considers his allowance for
expenses very liberal. He charges hay at
too high a figure; and the percentage of
loss is not generally so large as stated, as
sheep are subject to no disease whatever,
on the Nebraska prairie. One man also
could take charge of flock of thousand
during the summer months; and, in win
ter, one boy could feed them, as it is best
to let the sheep run to the hay all the
time, and the oats are to be fed in the
sheaf. Mr.. Myers further claims that if a
farmer will do most of his work himself,
hiring help only when it is snecessary-for
harvesting hay, shearing, &C., the sheep
will pay him $500 per head, as against
$2.00 when help is hired iberally.-Mr
Myers estimates hls sheep to be worth
$3.50 each. On 1000 sheep the invest
ment would be $500; and, as the net
profit shown above amounts to $1,765,
the return on the investment is over 30
per cent.

Just how it has been brought about We
do not care to discuss, but the fact remains
that thousands of Eastern people have
the idea that Indiana is a sort of a semi
barbarous State, inhabited chiefly by peo-
pie who can neither read nor write and
who spend the greater part of their time
in shaking with the ague or dieting on
quinine. An examination of the census
statistics will show that as few people die
here, in proportion to numbers, as in the
New England States; we have no moro
ague than they have in Michigan and
many other Western States; our school
fund is the largest of any State in the
Union, and it is the best managed; there
is greater percentage Of illiteracy in
Massachusetts, than there is in Indiana.
We have a greater number of colleges
than any other State, and many of them
are conducted so as to commend them.
selves to Eastern students. Our high
schools in all the principal towns and
cities of the State, are a source of just
pride to every citizen. Our public men
will rank favorably with those of any
other State in the government, and are
conceded to be head and shoulder
above the most ofthem. THERE'S hardly
anything in the scale of intelligence which
Indiana cannot make q favorable showing
when compared with any other State,and
in most cases she viii come out ahead.
1t is about time for Eastern people to quit
slandering US, and all Hoosiers should
take pride in challenging comparison
of statistics with those who ignorantly
presume to criticise our condition.-L0-

close attention to all business as well as
the speaking.
Second-We especially desire to thank
the singers and organist for the delight

Fourth. collection, which much
exceeded our expectations.
Fifth.-For the speeches delivered by
the Hon. VIM. Baxter, which we shall
not attempt to dwell on, but were both
grand and eloquent, and should stimulate

The following are the resolutions drawn
up and adopted at the convention:
WHEREAS, Long experience has abund-
antly demonstrated that the traffic and
use of Intoxicating liquors is the greatest
source of pauperism. crime and insanity
and presents the most formidable barrier
to the virtue and happiness of mankind
therefore, be it
Res0lCed, By the citizens of Marshall
county in public meeting assembled, that
time has fully arrived when all good ciii-
Zens should use their best influence and
example to remove said traffic and use
from our midst.
Resolred, That as the so-called Tenn
perance law of our State is designed TO
lessen the evils of intemperance, and be
cause it is the law, this meeting pledges
itself 10 do all in its power to maintain
and enforce ii iii our community.
ReSoloed, That inasmuch as there has
been formed i'm this State an association,
whose declared purpose is to vote for
such candidates Tor Office as will pledge
themselves, not only to work for the re-
peal of the Temperance law, but also for
the repeal of certain Sunday laws, and of
other laws, which are designed to protect
virtue and morality; therefore, this meet
ing believe it TO be the duty of all good
citizens to give their best influence aud
exertion to secure the nomination and
election of such candidates for office as
are earnestly in favor OF such laws as viii
tend so secure temperance, virtue and
happiness among the people.
ResolUed, That as the Woman's Move
ment has already accomplished great
good in moulding the public sentiment as
to the terrible evils resulting from the
Traffic and use of intoxicating liquors,
therefore this meeting tenders said m owe
ment its most cordial Endorsement. and
promises its hearty CO operation and sup
port.
BY order of Commit ee.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1874-06-04

The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day is, unques-
tionably, the War which the Farmers of
The United States are waglng against the
Monopolies of all kinds that have for 80
long been robbing the people and oppres-
the toiling portion of our community.
The work begins with the causes which
have aroused the American people against
The Monopoiists, and treats OF the rail-
road system Of the country, its growth,
actual condition and prospects. 1t then
shows how this noble system has been
perverted to further the ends of selfish
capitalists and railroad directors, who
seek gain at the expense of the communi-
ty; and we are given terrible and thrill
ling account of the crimes and frauds of
the railroad corporations of to-day. The
author wields fearless and vigorous
pen, ana points out the evils which this
selfish greed has entailed upon us. He
shows how the great corporations have
been able to control the whole country !;
how they have robbed the nation, and
corrupted our Congress, State Legisla-
lures, and Courts of Justice. He gives
us some startling facts about the Wild
Cat Railroads of the Country; the reck-
less gambling in stocks, and the terrible
financial convulsion from the effects of
which we are still suffering.
The book then takes up the cause of
the farmers of the United States, and lays
before us calm but eloquent statement
of their wrongs; shows how the farmers
are overcharged and robbed of the just
reward of their labors, and points out the
causes of these evils. 1t explains how
the railroads impoverish the farmers, and
gives substantial reason for the charge
SO often repeated, that high freights affect
the value of land as we'll as of its pro-
ducts.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted to history of the Order of Pa
irons of Husbandry, and it contains an
account of its rise, progress, present con-
dition and future prospects. Each feature
of the order is fully explained, and an
amount of information is given concern
ing this wonderful organization that will
amply satisfy the most curious.
1t is decidedly the most interesting and
useful volume of the day, and as it comes
at time when the whole country is suf-
fering intensely from the effects of the
evils it denounces cannot fail to have a
tremendous sale. 1t is an ably written
work, and bold and vigorous plea in
behalf of the farmers and all who are op-
pressed and robbed by the grasping Mo-
nopolies which are causing so much
trouble. 1t is sold by subscription only,
and DR.. Ridenour & Brother, of Inwood,
who are the authorized agents for this
county, are now canvassing for it.

"Pisy the Sorrows, &C."

To say that we condole the misfortunes
and trials of the leaders of tie Democrat
ic party, in Marshall county, would per-
haps be putting it little to strong; for
in fact, it is matter with which we have
very little to do. 1t is very evident to
common observer, that the leaders with
in the ring, are becoming exceedingly
nervous-almost up to the point of
delirium tremens. Changers, in their
imagination, are all around them, taunting
them with selfishness and dishonesty, and
threatening to deprive them of their dear
ly bought privileges and Offices. A
Democratic nominating convention will
be held in this city on the Goth of June,
which fact calls out some remarks from
the Democrat. 1t says:
Never in the history of the Demo
cratic) party, was a more persistent
effort made to disorganize and destroy it
and the effort is being made by traitors
in the camp, working in the interest of,
and under instructions from the common
enemy-the radical party. Disappointed
office-seekers and chronic grumblers-
men who have always failed in securing
the confidence of the party, now profess
to have discovered new lights, and cry
aloud disbandment."
Now this is sad state of affairs, for
the Office holders in Marshall county, and
may cause their political death; for their
main dependence for Office, has been in
those men who now threaten to cut loose
from the party, and do a little business
in their own way, and on their own ac-
count.
