Of Haywood County, accompanied by a
negro servant, started from his home to
Reel Foot Lake, where he proposed to
spend few days in fishing and hunt
ing. While passing through Dyer Coun-
ty the wagon was halted by two white
men armed with shot-guns. Mr. Walker
had placed loaded guns in his wagon.

had left them uncapped. This circum-
stance made his firearms useless for
sudden conjectures, but instead of tame

do, he seized a hammer and leaping out

he did SO one Of them fired at him, but

The farmer must fight flies, and, to do
so in the best manner, must first learn
their habits. If they are produced by
spontaneous production, he may give up
all hope; for, like the lice Of Egypt, they
would appear without notice; but, If
they have parentage, they may be pre-
vented from doing mischief by excluding
them from the object of attack. The
good woman has discovered that fresh
meat keeps much longer when exposed
to current of air, and that box hav-
ing its sides made Of wire-cloth will
keep Off the flies and admit air to the
meat; and this gives the farmer the hint
that he can air his smoke-house in the
same manner, and, at the same time, ex-
clude the fly that lays the maggots;
and, with the same means, the house
flies and the biting flies from the stable
may be kept at bay" Rural,' IN Chi

DOES farming pay? Does anything
but farming pay? Is it not the source of
all individual wealth-the foundation OF
our national prosperity? 1t is true farm
ers do not, as general thing, get large
salaries; not many of them are million
aires; wealth does not come in upon
them like water in leaky boat. They
generally give an equivalent for what
they get, and learn the real value of a
dollar by the amount Of labor they give
in acquiring it. Sometimes the tide of
events turns in their favor. Like men in
other occupations we hear most about
the rich and successful. Real success
and true manhood are not to be meas
ured by the amount of wealth that one
acquires. We like rich men best who
are rich in good works; whose wealth is
ovcrshadowed by wealth of heart But
very often those who roll in wealth are
not kind and true; the best spokes in
their wheel of fortune are spokes of
greed and selfishness. Every person who
produces more than he consumes, who is
self-sustaining, honest and industrious, is
successful in the best sense of the term
1t is far better to leave treasure of
kind thoughts, righteous actions and hal
lowed memories than to leave million
of dollars if they were acquired by tax
ing mean advantage of the generous and
unsuspccting, who disdain to exchange
honor for wealth. Men that amass fab
ulous fortunes rapidly, by cheating bet
ter men than themselves, are not good
men to set before our young farmers as
examples. 1t is better for all when a
million of men gain dollar each, by
productive industry on the farm, at the
loom or the anvil, than that one reckless,
fortunate adventurer should become a
millionaire. The greatest good comes to
the greatest number when great num-
bers arc moderately successful. We are
SO anxious to do great things that the
plain duties of everyday life are apt to
be neglected. A farm well managed, a
virtuous life, happy family and com
Portable home are honors and success
enough. True, lasting and real success
is enjoyed where class of men like
farmers do well in the aggregate and
during their whole lives. The great
majority of farmers, by living lives of
industry and economy, are safe and
solvent and never need bankrupt law
to protect them. When periods of com
mcrcial disaster sweep over the land and
mercantile establishments and business
men go down like reeds before the blast
farmers stand like apple trees in theil
orchards, shaking down fruit during all

Physical Life.

IT ispopularly supposed that we change
our constitutions once in seven years
but practically every decade makes a
turning point in life. 1t is not too much
to say that, barring accidents, a man can
at certain dates decide what manner of
death and from what class of disease lie
shall die. The formation of the consti-
tuition in early lifc-say from the age of
five to tiftecn-devolves on the nurse,
the mother, and the training in the
nursery and school-room In the nursery,
at any rate, overlooking is cardinal
vice; but the over-fed children who eat
flesh meat three times day become SO
gross and unwieldy as to be burden to
all concerned; while tight stays, tight
boots and high heels develop every evil
under the sun, from bunions downward
At this point two years of gymnastics,
or couple of years spent on board of
one of our training ships, does wonders
for our boys, who get the use of their
arms and legs to an amazing degree. The
athletic work performed by schoolboys
and university men is perhaps at its best
in these days, though most happy is the
man who is never Over-trained, because
he is perpetually in condition. From
fifteen to twenty-five man has to pre-
pare for that legitimate enjoyment in
life which should by rights he his. He
has in all probability chosen his profes
sion, memory is at its best, ambition at
its highest. and his temptation to burn
the candle at both ends-to be brilliant
boon companion, man whose good tales
are remembered, and whose witty say
ings are everywhere quoted-is almost
irresistible; facility does not come with
age and the best stories grow stale. Of
the number Of prematurcly exhausted
intelects. and shortened lives broken
down in this way there is no need to tell
Every mans memory will furnish him
with list of names more or less well
known.
From twenty-five to thirty-fivc is the
true time for all the enjoyment OF
mans best powers, when physical vigor
is At its highest, and human passion is at
its full strength. During the last half Of

TO construct system Of philosophy by

Hind man arrived in the city yester-
dav under circumstances that elected
considerable sympathy. The blind man
was not a permanent figure of the party /;
he tackled himself to it in Southern Ohio
and was dropped outin Columbus. The
five persons remaining are brothers and
sisters, and are, named Martin. One OF
the women is about thirty years old, the
Others in the neighborhood of twenty
and the men close to twenty-five. They
say they started from Randolph County,
NC, with one horse, a wagon and few
domestic effects, bound nOrthward to
better their condition, but without any
special point certainly in view. Their
horse died somewhere the other side Of
Chillicothe, and from that point to Col
umbus they have drawn the wagon them
selves. They made halt yesterday on
High street, between State and Town,
and attracted the attention Of large
number of people by their ragged, dirty
condition, as well as by their singular
manner of locomotion. They are now
shaping their course to point north of
Indianapolis, where they have friends
living Their story enlisted con-
siderable pity among those who heard
it-particularly in the case of Col.
Groom, who, by his own exertions
among the merchants along the
street, secured donations for them to the
amount of $50. With this money they
will be enabled to buy horse. Several
pairs of shoes were also given them, and
they were provided with a place to sleep

One of the sympathetic crowd gathered
around the meandering North Caroli-

had been soldier during the late war,
and had vivid recollection of family
in North Carolina who, under circum-
stances of distress to him, had hospita-
bly, received him and furnished him pro-

but in the women Of the forlorn party

The travelling North Carolina family

above sounds like several other North
Carolina stories that have gone the
rounds of the press. 1t only lacks the
essential particular of dog under the
