DEATH OF JUDGE MCKINNEY.

Governor HARRIS letter to the sur
vivors Of the Seventh Tennessee Cavalry,
who met at Brownsville on the 5th AID
9Th insts., has the true ring about it. 1t
is digni6ed, courtly, statesmanlike and
eminently practical. No one, be be
friend or foe. can read it without paying
an involuntary tribute Of respect to the
genius and heart Of the man. While re-
ferring most beautifully to the memories
Of the past, he deals most with the living
present. Every Tennessee Confederate
should read that letter. We would re.
produce it but for want Of space. Such
words coming from one Of his eminence
&c q Southern leader, cannot fail to have
a most salutary effect upon the public
mind, and forever set at rest the Oft in
animated charge that such men as Gov
erpor Harris are implacable B%ourbons,
waiting an opportunity to show hostility
to the institutions Of our common conn

Waste.

Idleness and waste are the devils tools.
We have no patience with the men who
cannot get living from their farms, be-
cause they spend the bulk of their time
on the streets, hunting, fishing, etc, leav-
ing their work in the hands Of hired men
who have no interest beyond fifteen dol
lars month. We do not wish to frater-
niZe with the farmers who sneer at mid
dlemen, and, at the same time, neglect their
farms in the attempt to exc out a living
by trading horses, or getting jobs when
little work is to be given for some money.
Worse yet than these is the farmer who is
too "constitHtionally tired" TO work, and
so must hire a man. thus adding materi-
ally to the work of his wife, but is too poor
to hire any help for the household.
There is a wonderful waste of energy,
in lifetime, in the single item of carrying
ali the water needed for a family from a
well several rods distant from the kitchen.
And there is no way of computing the
waste which results from Over-wOrk-at-
tempting more than can be well accom-
pliShed-Or from false employment of
leisure hours.
How many farmers ever think of the
great loss occasiOned by the use of rail fen
ces. These, of course, are necessity
Wnere country Is new, out Wnen l1nu Is
worth from $50 to 500 per acre, we can
not afford to employ them. A farm of 100
acres, ordinarily fenced with rails, has a
waste of five acres-that is, five per cent.
of the capital is invested in land to put
fences upon. Board fencing costs but lit
tie more, and is a saving OF more than half
the land. Gates are far more economical
than bars, yet how few ruminate upon
this. even though they have occasion to do
so dozen times day for fifty years.
z woodpile delivered at the back-dOOr
weekly, in the log, thus requiring the
early and later energies of each day in
preparing it for the kitchen-stove, is
waste that occasions many narrowing
thoughts.
Waste is form of wickedness. We are
all personally responsible for our time, tai
ent and opportunities, and if we allow any
unnecessary waste some one will feel it.
The loss may not fall directly upon our
selves, but it will upon our children, our
friends or our neighbors. Let it never be
forgotten that what we lose by neglect
would have made some poor creature hap
py, and it is a grievous wrong for which
we are accountable when we allow or
sanction a waste of any kind. ''Waste
not, want not" should be the motto of
lifetime.-Dstroit Free Pres.
