While the UNION AND AMERICAN
does not wish, within three days of the
meeting of the State Convention, to
break its established rule of dealing
impartially between the Democratic
brethren whose names have been men
toned IN connection with the Govern
orship, yet we may be permitted 10
express our local pride in the action
of Yesterdays convention. and IN the
fellOw-townsman whOmit endorsed for
that Office, Hon. Michael Burns. To
say that 1t was an honest reflection of
the spirit of the county, is the highest
compliment we need give, because his

people for whole generation.

give full and highly instructive expo
sition of the history Of Juvenile refor-
matories, and Of the jails and criminal
code Of Tennessee.
Our whole basis of modern society
and government is involved IN the dis
cussion and settlement Of these vital
questions. \ citizen Of the United
States cannot afford TO remain ignorant
upon a subject which 50 nearly affects
the future of his country, and if he
would keep pace with the times must
inform himself
How to prevent crime, and how TO
dispose Of the criminal, are by far the
most weighty questions TO be asked by
the citizens Of Tennessee. a large
proportion Of our hard-earned taxes
paid into the State Treasury, is appro-
priated to the catching Of criminals,
their conviction and disposal Of there
after. This subject is attracting great
attention throughout the country and
we are glad to see the interest awaken
ing in our midst with regard TO 1T.

Ar a private party, given At his London
house recently, Sir Charles WheaistOne ex-
hibited some curious electrical expert
ments for the amusement Of his friends,
which would seem TO throw some light on
certain sO-called "spiritualistie manifesta-
tons In a dark room. By stamp Of his
foot, Sir Charles produced a brilliant
crown Of electric light In mid-air,
while musical instruments seemed 70
be played by invisible hands, whereas the
sounds really came from an adjoining room,
in which the player sat. and were made TO
appear 10 be produced by instruments be-
fore the spectators by an ingenious contri-
vance. A contest between science and the
''spirits" in theirO own chosen feats would be
almost as memorable Is the celebrated com
petition between Moses and the magicians.

B. A. Rinson, Of Forest City, asks,
Do grasshoppers eat fax? I answer
emphatically, Yes. Last spring we
we're told not, but found to our hearts
content that we were wrongly inform
ed. I would say to B. A. Rinson and
all others concerned, that "When the
springtime comes, gentle Annie," go
ahead with your work as you did afore-
time, only SOW bearded wheat; the hop
pers will leave bearded wheat and go:to

so,,4o "nos.o anu some oats, plant so1ne
corn early and eonro Lotto, rlant 1v1uv
potatoes early and some late; plant
some beans and squashes, SOW turnips,
&c., and don't forget to raise a calf
or two, some pigs and chickens; milk
two or three more COWS, and sell a lit
tie butter, &c.
I find by mixing up husbandry
and keeping variety on hand, we al.
ways have something on hand to
sell, and need not beg if we do lose
a crop occasionally.

Western farmers in want of q
market and desirous of finding one
in foreign countries across the Attain
tic should remember that one manu-
factury at home employing 100 men
will support an additional 500 peo-
pie. Three hundred families will dis
burse annually, on the average, $3.50
or $4,000 in the aggregate. This
money will be drawn into the town
from the outside, where goods are
consumed, and the interest of these
$4,000 at 10 per cent. would be
$500. Three hundred families, too,
would require houses, thousands of
pounds of agricultural produce and
thousands Of yards of cotton and
woolen goods, thus giving health and
impetus.-lndiaa,a Former.

Drouth and Grasshoppers.
From Moores Rural New Yorker.

From Moore's Rural New Yorker
Mrs. S. A. Mcpherson, Of Kansas,
sends us letter telling rather dis
couraging story in regard to the eli
mate and pests which the people of
that State have to contend with.
Mrs. A. says: "Ever since the first
of July we have been suffering from
drouth, and the heat has been ex-
tremely oppressive, seldom below 1902
at noon, and often as high as 115o to
1909, while the hot south winds have
been terrible, burning up our corn
crop and most Of our vegetables.
Then to make matters worse, on the
26th Of July, down came an army Of
those hateful grasshoppers, devouring
all that was left. Our young trees,
the fruit and shade we hoped some
day to enjoy, as we'll as our hedges
and shrubbery, have also fallen vic
TINS to their ravages. fought for
those plants you sent me last spring,
covering them with papers, tying
down as firmly as possible, but the
wind would tear them off: The hate
fuls' only eat the flower stems and
a little Of the foliage of the tube-roses.
Only one gladiolus bloomed, the 9TH
ers were killed by the drouth. The
pests have left us twice, but are back
again to-day"
We have another letter from a
valued correspondent residing at
Juniata, Neb., in which the writer
pours out his woes in almost the same
language as the above; drouth,
grasshoppers and other pests have de-
stroyed the crops, and want stares the
poor pioneer in the face.
A lady relative, residing near Den
yer, COL, tells Of the three visits of the
"hatefuls'' to her garden this season,
and the unsuccessful fight made to
save few geraniums, verbenas, and
similar plants.

OH, A COUNTRY HOME FOR ME- I

Oh, country home for me!
Where the clover blossoms blow.
And the robin builds his nest
In the old cherry bough;
Where the roses and the honey buds
Arc clinging to the wall,
Each a perfumed cup of jewels
When the rain drops fall;
Where the leaves and lights are blending
And the swallows soar and sing,
And the iron chain and bucket drip
Above the silver spring
When the sun is in the West,
And the winds are lulled to rest,
And the babe sleeps on its mothers arm.
The robin in her nest
When the cottage taper wrinkles through
The lattice, and the gloom
OF the dusky trellis roses,
And the woodbines blooml
When the moon is on the wave,
And the shadows in the grove,
How sweet to wander side by side,
With those we dearly love,

Two GENTLEMEN.-There are no
distinctions of rank when people are
in need. Here is one incident of
many which pleasantly illustrates
this: An old Scotchman was taking
his grist to mill in sacks thrown
across the back of his horse, when
the animal stumbled, and the grain
fell to the ground. He had not
strength to raise it, being an aged
man, but he saw a horseman riding
along, and thought he would appeal
to him for help. But the horseman
proved to be the nobleman who lived
in the castle hard by, and the farmer
could not muster courage to ask a fa-
vor of him. But the nobleman was
a gentleman, also, and, not waiting to
be asked, he quickly dismounted, and
between them they lifted the grain tc
the horses back. John-for he was
a gentleman, too-lifted his Kilmar
mock bonnet, and said,-
my lord, how shall I ever thank
you for your kindness?"
every easily, John," replied the
nobleman. "Whenever you see an
other man in the same plight as yor
were in just now, help him
and that will be thanking me-"

- The premium lists for the annual Fair
of the Fayette County Agricultural Society
will be issued in a week or two. The
preniums offered are unusually liberal
and should attract good show of stock
and other articles for exhibition. The
Board will make every possible effort to
make the Fair of 1874 exceed in attrac-
tions any former one. and our citizens
should give them their support. Every
one should feel an interest in making our
county Fair a success. If the business
men of town would contribute to fund
sufficient to offer three or four good pre-
miums in addition to those offered by the
society in several of the leading depart
ments-such as time horses, fine cattle
hogs, &c.-It might be a profitable invest
ment for them. 1t certainly is to their in
terest to aid in making our Fairs equal to
those in any Of our neighboring counties.
We understand there will be an effort
made to get up several good Citizens
purses, and we hope it will succeed.
