to any such remarks, and be should,
when writing reply, be more con-
sistent. He ridicules and sympathizes
with the Dutchman in one breath and
then accuses us Of the crime Of type

business transaction, did not drink, and
therefore cannot reproaeh ourselves.
We will state that Chesapeake" is a

YHE CHECK STAMP LAw.-The scare
over the violation Of the check stamp
act last winter seems not to have had
in all instances the required effect-to
cause parties and banks to be more
careful about stamping their cheques.
Several banks down the State, it il
said, have Been again caught in violat-
ing the lew, either through wilfulness
or carelessness and last week the
National Bank of Delaware, was caught
Ragrante 'delictu and fined $50 Per-
haps this will serve IS warning to
people to stamp their own checks.
They put their money-if they have
any-in bank for their own accommo-
dation, and when they give cheques in
payment Of bills they leave the creditor
to pay the stamp. This may not be
nseanness, but it certainly is great care
lessness. The greatest hsSdship in this
instance is that the bank should lose
the amount Of the. fine. The individ-
uals whose carelessness caused the
trouble ought to pay the fine.

and Chestertown was remarkable. The
more so because you have 50 few Of the

can boast Of
How busy every one appeared
What activity was displayed by the
very movements Of the people! Every
one seemed to have some object in view,
and, better still, seemed possessed with
a determination to accomplish that OBJ
ject. Now, in Chestertown. you will
see the people sauntering along in the
most leisursly manner imaginable
pleasant and affable enough, but so in
active, I might say-inert. They seem
content to plod along in the same ruts,
xorn by their ancestors. They do not
appear to desire any improvements-as
a matter Of course there are few made.
The few improvements that are made,
they are indebted for entirely to the efforts
of q few energetic persons. whom they
seem pleased to term foreigners One

fair specimen Of their progressiveness

passengers desire fruit fresh from the

Diversity Of Products.

Some ofithe Virginia papers are ap-
pealing to the agriculturists Of tha,
State SO to diversity their crops that in
no cass can they be left without sufic-
iency Of food for their own support,
even if they have no profits The
Petersburg and Richmond newspapers
are strongly advocating this rule. and
it is to be hoped, have good prospect
Of success. There are some portions
of Virginia in which tobacco is practi-
cally the single crop, and if it fails to
yield largely the consequences are dis
astrous. - Baltimore Sun.
The same may be said of the Della
ware and Maryland Peninsula, and the
above excellent advice will apply with
equally good effect to our agriculturists
So much Of the land has of late years
been covered with peach trees that
there is comparatively little left for
other things To such an extent has
this tree planting been carried that the
growing Of cereals has to great extent
been almost abandoned, the farmers, in
Fastening to be rich, depending almost
exclusively on their fruit crops The
result is that when too severe. winter
OF. late frost, or drouth. or hail storm,
or some other Of the thousand and one
ills to which the fruit is subject, kills
that crop, "their land is Left to them
desolate' and they have nothing to fall
back upon. When their peaches are
killed their financial resources are all
gone.
Now If eur farmers would cease to
plant trees for . few years, or what
probably would be better, but wha,
very few wsuld be willing to do, pull
out goodly number Of the trees that
now cucumber their fields, and devote
little more of their land to raising
wheat, corn and oats; raise sheep-in
ether words, take the advice Of the
Virginia papers and diversity their
crops, though they might not get rich
all at once, they would never be with.
out something to sell from their farms,
some source Of revenue.

i Mr.. EDITOR Through letter re-
ceived in this town BY one Of cur
neighbors from q gentleman residing in
the Brasos river country, in northern
Texas, We have the following account
of the wonderful resources Of that most
favored region. second only to. if no,
the equal of, California in agricultural
and mineral resources, and mild and
healthy climate. He says ''its mild
winters admit Of almost constant out
door work being performed with entire
comfort to the laborer = an elevated
and very fertile prairie 1000 feet higher
than St. Louis (Which fact alone, pc
cludes all chance Of epidcmics y and
without that monotonous appearance Of
ordinary prairies, having substituted for
it, gorgeously interspersed small conf
cal and other shaped mountains, cover

but now very rare Give oak" with
other timber and fruit the timber pre-
vailiDg particularly along all water
courses. This is section Of country,
which has no superior for all kinds Of
stock, which thrive out all winter upon
the mesquite grass, the most nutricious
and fattening Of all grasses; besides
the grain resources, fruit, and vine-
yards Of this region are only equalled
by its deposits Of coal, lime, copper,
iron, and many other minerals, (gold
perhaps included
No safer or better purchase either for
homestead or investment could be made.
and particularly at this time. when the
Texas Pacific Railroad, will so soon
open up this country to Immigrants,
and when these lands will be greatly
enhanced, and advanced in price. Land
there at this time, is offered at from 2
to dollars an acre : and choice bot
tom prairie with improvements, at from
6 to 7 dollars. This latter kind he
predicts will be worth from 40 to so
dollars an acre, in less than 5 years
time.
Now, why will SO many Of our young
men squander their precious youth and
time, in loa6ng round this, and other
villages and resorts for idlers, instead
Of embracing such golden opportunity
as that now offered? Mr. Editor, can
you account for it The men Of the
present day, ought to be the equals in
business tact with their progenitors !;
and can. if they will arouse themselves,
perform as great feats as their fore
fathers: 1t is true their daddies hadn't
the fine carriages, fast horses, long
whips. and 10 cent segars which mar
good many Of their business resolves
and fortunate it was that they hadn't.

How to Kill Stagnation.

March came in like d lion, and true
to the old adage, it went dut like q
lamb, a something at which everybody
will rejoice, for the pleasant weather
Of the past three or four days has had
reyiving effect upon business. The
ladies, taking advantage Of clear pave
ments and bright sunshine, have been
crowding the retail establishments Of
the city, while cur wholesale men are
beginning to rejoice at the presence Of
their customers, and the daily receipts
Of big orders from those Who have not
found it convenient to. pay spring
visit to the city.
A fortnight Of good weather will add
wonderfully to the briskness Of trade.
In addition to this, there is more hope
full spirit abroad amongst dealers and
manufacturers. Men begin to look
more cheerful, and whenever such is
the case. there is reason to- look for
still further improvement.
Nothing is so well calculated to de-
press trade as gloomy eountenances
amongst those engaged in it, If the
community could only be prevailed
upon to believe that there is "a good
time coming" in. the near future--that
there will be inaugurated an old fash
ioned meney-making period; that mill
wheels will again revolve with their
wented activity; that the hum Of busy
industry will again be heard in all eur
workshops and manufactures that
strikes will shortly end. and trade and
traffic be restored, what q magical
change would be instantly wrought and
how much sooner these golden dreams
would be realized.
To-day there are many thousand men
out of employment, exclusive Of those
who have voluntarily abandoned work,
because Of slight difference between
the rates Of wages offered and those
finally received. If the spring opens
and outdoor work becomes possible.
the majority Of these will find employ
ment, and the incubus Of 50 many
idle laborers being removed, an addi-
tional motive for cheerfulness will be
aroused. When everybody is in a
good humor, trade is certain to be
brisk, and when men are, not busy, or
are only partially employed, it is GER
tain to run behind hand.
The maintenance Of "stiff upper
lip" is everything Nothing is better
to fmpart confidence to all
asha foreboding countenance
will produce just the converse. Then
let eash resolve to manfully face the
.itsation let the determinations be
that there shall be brisk times;
that stagnation has had its day, and
having thus determined, there must
be no backing down.-Philodelphid
Chronicle.

CURIOUS EsTIMATE.-It has been es.

ss, more or less; that the spirit Of econ
omy has, during the past year, induced
them to forego one dress a piece from
their usual outlay; that the average cal

that consequently there has been loss
