Let Us Initiate.

For good, sound, practical common
sense commend US to the editor of the
Moberly (Mo.) Enterprises and Monitor,
from which we have the following e.
nancial doctrine:
Let's initiate the currency by a gene
raj forward movement into the corn
fields, the wheat and oats-felds, the
meadows, the tobacco, potato, turIip
and cabbage patches, and raise the
whappiDgest, biggest crops ever known
to the country. The great trouble
with this country is, we have nothing
to SELL We import nearly everything
we eat, drink and wear, and money is
continually going out and little coming
in.
We can initiate by raising corn at 80
cents bushel. Ii is worth nearly u
dollar now.
We can initiate on potatoes at 30 cents.
The average price in Moberly is 81, and
several hundred car loads are shipped
TO this point annually.
We can initiate on cabbage at cents
a head, and they never sell here for less
than ten, and half the time they are
scarce as oranges even at the latter fg-
ures.
A man can make 100 pounds of to-
bacco for every day he works in his
crop, and tobacco generally sells at an
average of S5 per hundred. This is as
good pay as any of our county officials
get. Tobacco always brings cash. too.
Shall We say anything of beef at
cents and pork at 3 to 5 cents per
pound, when we have land that only
needs the sunlight to make it rival the
blue grass regions Of Kentucky for
pasturage.
These are all facts. The country has
not gone to destruction, by any means.
What we need is work, labor, toll, and
there is no excellence without these
The season is opening auspieiously and
the outlook for good crops was never
so promising. HE ye to the fields then
and aid nature in making you rich
The towns are full of men out of en-
ployment, and the fields lie sere and
brown under the cover of last years
stubble. In the towns of this county
there are enough idle men to raise pro-
visions sufficient to feed the whole
county. These men ''toil not, neither
do they spin, and the loss Of their Ia
Dor to industrial necessities is stgfie-
lent, if properly worked up all over
the country, to pay off the national
debt in few years, and we would all
be rich.

Civil Rights.
From the Toledo CommerciaIl

"Kurridge dis Ways cents to any
part OBJ de city
This was the theme of a sable hack
man at a recent public gathering.
"Oaly . cents to any part OBJ de
city. Hab a kurridge, sab ?" And
thus he aeeosted every passing gentle
man.
Presently a well ll-dressed, gentleman
ly appearing eolOred man came up,
when, all Of sudden, the haekman
ceased to call out the quarters, and
turned so as not to look the gentleman
in the face.
Il would like carriage" said the
gentleman.
No response.
Il would like to ride to the Boody
House, stepping nearer and speaking
louder.
"Sah?"
''Is this hack?"
No, sah; it's private kurridge." "
Don't you carry passengers
Sometimes L does, sab, and some
times | don {, sab, turning awsy again.
How much to drive me 10 the
Boody?"
Three dollahs, sah."
But the gentleman got in, and seem
ed to display his face at the window as
much as possible as they drove along
the streets. But imagine the driver 5
disgusted look when the gentleman
helped himself out and handed quar-
terfor his fare, and with smile, passed
into the hotel.
He wasno other than Professor Lar
come, of Washington, whose life has
been spent in teaching and in efforts to
elevate his race,

HE DIED FOR ME.

After DIR. Bethune's death, the following
beautiful hymn. which was evidently writ
ten only the day previous, was found in his
portfolio Its deyout simplicity and exquis-
ite tenderness give ita fitting place beside
such as Toplady's "Rock OF Ages" and
Charles Leslies "Jesus. lover of my Soul! "
"When time seems short, and death is near
And am pressed by doubt and fear,
And sins, an Overwhelming tide,
Assail my peace on every side,
This thought my refuge still shall be-
! know my Saviour died for me.
"His name is Jesus, and he died
For guilty sinners crucified;
Content to die, that he might win
Their ransom from the death of sin.
No sinner worse than can be.
Therefore knew he died for me.
"If grace were bought could not buy;
If grace were coined, no wealth have /;
By grace alone l draw my breath.
Hold up from everlasting death.
Yet since know His grace is free,
know the Saviour died for me.
ST read Gods holy word and find
Great truths which far transcend my mind;
And little do know beside
OF thought so high, and deep, and wide.
This Is my best theology,
1 know the savior died for me-
"My faith is weak. but it's Thy gift;
Thou can>t my helpless soul upiift
Say thou, "Thy bonds of death are riven,
Thy sins by Me are all forgiven,
And thou shalt live from guilt set free,
For 1, thy Saviour, died for thee"

To DESTROY BUGS, ANTS, ETc.-No
insect that crawls can live under the
application of hot alum water. twill
destroy red and black ants, eockroaeh-
es, spiders, chintz bugs, and all the
myriads of crawling pests which infest
our houses during the heated term
Take two pounds Of alum and dissolve
it in three or four quarts of boiliDgwa-
ter let it stand on the stove until the
alum is all melted; then apply it with
a brush while nearly boiling hot to ev-
cry joint and ereviee in your closets,
bedsteads, pantry shelves and the ike.
Brush the creviees in the floor of the
skirting or mop boards, if you suspect
that they harbor yermin. If in white
washing ceiling, plenty of alum is
added to the lime. il will also serve to
keep insects at a distance Cockroaehes
will fee the paint which has been
washed in cool alum water. Sugar
barrels and boxes can be freed from
ants by drawing a wide chalk mark
just around the edge of the top Of them
The mark must be unbroken, or they
will creep over it, but a continuous
chalk mark, half an inch in width, will
set their depredatiOns at naught.

Poor Old South Carolina.

The Charleston News and Courier
publishes tabular statement Of the
seizures of property on account Of un-
paid taxes in each county of the State.
The results show that in nineteen cOun-
ties during the current year 92,239
acres, equal to 146 square miles of
land. have been sold for taxes, and
3i3.97l acres, equal to 537 square
miles, have been forfeited to and are
held BY the State. South Carolina will
soon be Ia a position at this rate to
rival the United States in Offering
homesteads to settlers. But then, With
the present State government, or one
of that class, settlers would want some
premium before accepting plantation
and undertaking to pay the taxes on it.

THE PILLAR OF BEAUTY.


Scatter the gems of the beautiful
By the wayside let them fall,
That the rose may spring by the cottage gat
And the vine on the garden wall;
Cover the rough and rude of earth
With q vail of leaves and flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and cup
The march of Summers hours.
"Scatter the gems of the beautiful
In the holy shrine of home!
Let the pure, the fair, and the graceful ther'
In the loveliest iustre come;
Leave not q trace of deformity
In the temple of the heart,
But gather about the earth its germs
OF nature and of art.
ssScatter the gems of the beautiful
In the the temple of our God
The God who starreth the uplited sky,
And fiowered the trampled sod;
When He built temple for Himself,
And home for His priestly race,
He reared each arch In symmetry
And curved each line In grace.
Scatter the gems of the beautiful
In the depths of the human soul;
They bud and blossom, and bear the fruit
While the endless ages roll.
Plant with the flowers of charity
The portals of the tomb,
And the fair and pure about His path
In Paradise shall bloom"

a large reward for the discovery of the per petrator of the decd. Those who have not lost their dogs have shut them up. As you pass through the streets it is amusing to hear on all sides the bowling and yelping of the imprisoned annals. Last Satur- day night an Irishman partly intoxicated threw a stone weighing several pounds in to MT. Winchell's parlor window. It was thrown with such force that it landed on the opposite side of the room, breaking in the lower sash. The offender was arrested ana shut up ln one of the hotels to await
 trial, but Sunday afternoon MT. James
 Winchell ordered him released He lost
 no time in using his feet, and the last that
 was seen of him he was rounding the curve
 of the railroad track just this side of the State line, under full headway for Connec- ticut......The society of the Good Temp-
 lars here are doing what they can for the cause of temperance. Last Monday after noon at meeting of the Board of Trus

He then nrov;ded seats for all, after which Miss Kate Lent was introduced to the chairman as sspokes- man for the ladies, and request made that she might read petition. It was granted, and an earnest appeal was made to the board to refuse license to the Iiuuor dealers in Millerton.

 MillertOn.
 = A little incident which has just come to our knowledge, occurred here some time since; still we cannot forbear to mention it. The family of MT. M, who lived ut the outskirts of the village in rented house, was turned out and their goods set in the street. The family themselves re- mained in the house until led out by the constable. First MT. and Mrs. M and the two eldest children were led out suc- cessively; next MT. Hicks, the constable, a young unmarried gentleman, took up the three months old baby and carried it out, but the mother refused to take it, and start ed up the railroad track toward the village. He following with the baby in his arms and in vain entreated her to stop. She neither stopped nor looked around. This was more than MT. Hicks had bargained for. To be placed in such situation would be annoying to any man. but espec- tally mortifying to one in bis position in life, and there stood crowd of people laughing and cheering as he went by with the baby in his arms. Heedless of all his entreaties, Mrs. M never stopped until they were fairly inIthe village, where he overlook her and at last prevailed upon her to relieve him of the unwelcome burden. When another family is to be put out we think Constable Hicks will leave the re- moval of the younger party to some one else......Since Saturday morning, the 2nd inst, large number of dogs have been poisoned by strychnine put into liver and thrown about the streets. Some who val ued their dogs highly are very indignant oyer their loss, and there is talk of offering

Gordon, lately with Woodward & Sen, has purchased the drug store and has put in a full assortment of dry goods, groceries and drugs, which he offers cheap for cash. Charley is well known to our citizens antl is deservedlY popular; we therefore bespeak for him liberal patronage. The drug de- partment will remain under the efficient management of Ed.
