Rumors of Governor JEWELS speedy r,

Rumors Of Governor JEWELS speedy re-
tirement from the Post Office Depart
ment are still rife at Washington, and
appear to gather force day by day.
There seems to be little doubt that the
vigorous warfare waged by the Post
master General on the various rings
which he found established in the depart
ment when he assumend it's control, and
his unconcealed enmity to various corrupt
agencies at the Capitol have made him
many and influential eoemies. That he
has at the same time and by the same
means made hosts of friends Throughout
the country, especially among the bust
ness portion of the community, with
which he has always been identified, is
likewise true, but that goes for little if
the prejudices of the Presidents advisers
are to weigh with the Administration.
Personally, we should congratulate Gov
ernor Jewell on escaping from the onerous
responsibilities and uncongcnial surround
ings of his official station, and again being
at liberty to devote his time to his own
extensive business interests, but we
should deem his retirement a serious
misfortune to the country, which needs
and never more that now - integrity,
straightforward business administration,
and refined, gentlemanly courtesy in the
Cabinet; and these qualities the Post
master General possesses in an eminent
degree. Could we have more Jewels in
the Cabinet and fewer trucking poll
ticians behind the Presidents chair,
there would be fewer apprehensions of
and less call for change in the Admins
tration.-GLObe ...# ... .-

American Farms.

The great improvements that have taken
place in transportation, which make it possible
for the wheat of Iowa and California to compete
in the English markets with that raised on the
Atlantic sea board, and which place Iowa in COM
petition with New England have operated TO
specialize farming. The large farmer Of to-day
raises fewer kinds on his farm than did the
small farmer Of the last century. This speciali-
cation allows the use Of the higher appliances
and the use of capital as the former system
could not. The true farms have doubtless grown
IN size, on the average. The early settlers OF
necessity could till but small farms. The tax
lists of Long Island for the years between 1915
and 1885 show that in nine English towns the av-
erage land-holding was about twenty-five acres,
and in the five Dutch towns thirty-seven acres,
or for the whole fourteen towns it was twenty
i've and one.third acres, and at that time over
ninety per cent OF the tax payers were land
holders. The national census OF 1870 enumer-
ates 2,660O00 farms, only six and a half per
cent of which were Of less than ten acres, and
more than half Of the whole number contained
over fifty acres. The cash value of the farms,
Implements, and live stock was placed at up
ward of Sill 900, 900, 000 and the total estimated
value OF all the farm productions at about
2,448, 00o, 900. or the 1880 900 persons " en-
gagged IN all classes OF occupations,' 5000, 900
were engaged in agriculture. We have abso-
lutely no statistics of the agriculture OF the col
onies at the time Of the Revolution; therefore
the actual figures OF progress can not be given,
and we refrain from estimates. W. II

Shipm OF American Iron TO Eng
land.

The Birmingham Post says; Much Discus
sion was some time ago occ ,soned respect.
ing shipment of American iron for sale and
use in England. At the time 1t was thought
that finished iron had been sent across from the
States, but the explanation was that the trans
action had been an experimental consign-
ment OF good pig.iron. In fact,.it was
lot OF Alabama and Georgia pig, for which the
makers had hoped to get CO per ton, but that
when sold in Liverpool did not realize more than
e. net. This figure, however, left profit,
though but very small. We have authority for
saying that the Cornwall Iron Company, of Ce-
dsr Bluff, Cherokee county, Ala, are preparing
to ship to the same destination 100 tons
OF their charcoal (pig) iron, and they have Sc
cured freights from Savannah to Liverpool at
ten shillings per ton. Y . comparative nearness
IN point Of cost Of this country to the pig max
ing furnaces of the Southern States is to be OBJ
served in the fact that the first consignment
was conveyed to Liverpool at only 3 ton more
than it would have cost to take the same iron
from the furnaces to CINCINNATI.

NEWSPAPER "oBITUARIEs.,

A noticeable feature Of recent journalism is
the increasing attention given to neurology.
Nowhere has the press shown itself more active
in personal matters than ir this. The spirit OF
the modern newspaper ia q personal spirit 1t
discards the old abstract methods and appeals
directly to the concerns of men. The principle
has doubtless led to some abuses but it is never
theless the correct one, and it offers the true
explanation of the wonderful growth and in
crease Of influence Of tho newspaper Of late years.
Closely connected with this personal spirit
is the interest taken in the death of individuals
who, for whatever reason, have been brought
further into public notice than their fellows
Readers not yet old can remember the time
when obituary sketches we're very rarely found
In even the best and most liberally conducted
Journals The search for news did not stretch
that way and it Wac not felt that
such subjects were proper for public
Comment. Olly in the cases OF great
rulers OF great criminals-the words being trans
possible very often-was it thought necessary to
indulge in "Reminiscences, and even then the work
WAS done in the briefest manner. The system
as it now exists was not reamed Of, and emil
nent men passed from earth with no chronicle
AASSN ~
said, the obituaries are prominent in the daily
record of news. So widely read is matter Ct
this kind that the editor finds he can furnish
nothing that will be Of more interest
to the greatest number of people.
There ia as much competition in the
furnishing Of early information of this kind as
in collatng political news or any of the mat
ters which make newspapers sought after. And
the field is not at all restricted to the great OF
Earth. Local notabiities are as vigilantly
''sketched" as Kings, Presidents, Scholars OF
Poets. 1t is this widening of the ground which
has given the subject its hold, for people will
often care moro to read about their fellow
townsmen whom they have been in some wise
long familiar with, than of famous foreigners
whom they know only by name. However
considered the topic is an instructive one, az
showing both the growth of the press and the
growing int crest of man in man.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
COrOner's Verdict Accidental
Drowning.
Guilty or Not Guilty.

Officer Roach, on Thursday, arrested David
Wright, a negro man, who is charged by Mrs.
Gouby with the murder of her husband, Mr..
Gouby, on the fourth day of March last, at
Bayou Barataria. The true facts of the case,
as far as could be cleaned from the prisoner,
and the result of the Coroners investigation
at the time, as well as the circumstances con-
nected Herewith are
It appears that on the day in question,
David Wright and NJ Gouby were in boat
together in the bayou, the boat being loaded
with cabbages-the pile was so high that
neither of the men could see the other, as
they were sitting at either end of the boat
Suddenly Wright heard q splash and struggle
in the water, when he discovered that Gouby
was overheard.
Wright endeavored : to rescue him, but
could not control the boat in time to save him
from drowning. Wright then reported the
fact to Judge Osborne and also to Gouby's
wife, Wright then went in search of the
body, and recovered it, when an inquest was
held and verdict of accidental drowning
rendered. When the body was examined by
the Coroner $40 60 was found upon his per-
SON. Whether the man Wright is guilty or
not, as charged, can be easily decided by the
public.

CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL.
CLOSING LITERARY EXERCISES.

The closing literary exercises of the Boys
Central High School, which took place yes
terday, attracted an audience composed OF
the friends and relatives of the pupils that
completely filed the large assembly room.
The exercises were of most interesting
andy entertaining character, and embraced
declarations and compositions. They were
interspersed with music by the young ladies
of the Upper High School, and this music
served in no small degree to make the affair
the successful and agreeable one it was.
The length of the programme precludes
any detailed notice, and due appreciation
of the fact that distinctions are invidious
deters us from making special mention.
Suffice tito say that the young gentlemen
acquitted themselves in manner that reflects
credit upon themselves and upon their pre-
ceptors.
The Boys Central High School is one Of
the institutions of which this city has cause
to be proud. 1t has always bean well man
aged and ably conducted, and never more so
than under its present corps Of professors,

THE RATIFICATION MEETING.
A ThrOng Present.

A large and enthusiastic crowd gathered
last night at the hall of the Manhattan Club
No. 46 Magazine street, to ratify the action o.
the last meeting in nominating Hon. w. R.
Crane for the United States Senate. Owing
to violation of agreemen mt the band did moi
put in an appearance until very late. At
o'clock the president called the meeting to
order, thirty parishes being represented. and
Col. W. r. Crane was introduced.
He in an easy and graceful manner alluded
to the compliment paid him by the club. he
then entered into the subject in earnest, and
discussed at length the issues of the day. He
showed how vital to the prosperity of the
commonwealth the grange movement was, and
in response to Gen. s. X. Russ at some length
elaborated the movement, and laudediits OBJ
jects.
At times so loud and continuous was the
applause, it was difficult for the reporter to
catch the full import of the Colonel's speech.
Major Woods, of the Second Ward, asked
the speaker whether he would advocate, if
elected, a suppression of Mexican raids on
our Texas border, and in reply, the Colonel
said that he now, and at all times, had ad-
vocated the defense of every foot Of American
soil (Cheers.)
After the Colonel had ended, the following
list of officer was read
Vice Presidents-J. j. Mellon, E Booth,
Saml Mullan, VIM. Woelper, Major Franklin,
Major Gen. H. L. Smith, Col. R. Flower,
Gen. s. K. Russ, Col. W. R. Verlander. Col.
Walter, Gen. ]. H. Vose, Col V. Prados,
Major A. Bloom.
Secretaries-Capt d. c. Noise, Lieut.. Paul
Abadie, Col. w. Moon, Hon. Anthony Sam
bola.
Col Crane then read some complimentary
letters from Gen. B. F. Butler, Rev. ]. P.
Newman, Secretary Boutwell, aud others,
which were highly Mandatory, and were
ado pied as the sentiments of the club. The
Colonel pronounced himself as having an
abiding faith in the reform wave now sweep
ing over the land, driven on by Democratic
force.
After this the report of committees was
called for and the meeting adjourned.
