MECKLEABURG CEN7ENNIAL.

The ceremonies of the centennial an
niversary of the Mecklenberg Declara,
ton of Independence were opened at
noon, Wednesday, in honor of the fact
that at noon on the 10Th day of May,
l775, body of delegates met in the old
Court House, in what was then the vii
lage of Charlottetown, to confer together
concerning the relation which then ex-
listed between the Province and the King,
The conference lasted all that day and
night, and on the following morning res
oln.ions were adopted declaring them
selves absolved from allegiance to the
British crown.
The celebration was conducted in grand
style. Governor Chamberlain, of South
Carolina, Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana
ex-Gov. Walker, of Virginia, IL. NJ, Polk
Of Tennessee, ex-Gov. Vance, of North
Carolina, and others addressed the as,
semblcd multitude Illuminations and
fireworks followed in the evening
Doubts may have heretofore arisen IN
some minds regarding the authenticity
of the Mecklenburg declaration, but the
deep enthusiasm Of this meeting, if 1t die
not convict, left no doubt that the par
ticipants were firm in its belief

A G REAT FARMER.

James Gaines, of E5peI county, ILL.,,
gives the National L ire Stock Journal an
account of his farm an6 farming. He
commenced q uarter of a century ago
with 120 acres Of raw prairie land, worth
81 25 per acre. He now has 400 acres
of improved land, 3,O20in pasture, mostly
in blue grass. This is divided in two
pastures containing $40 acres each, tour
of 100, one of 100, two of so acres, and
several of smaller size. He has $40 acres
of meadow land, and $40 acres of plow
land, mostly corn land. The fencing is
generally good Usage orange hedge fence
The land is high rolling prairie, the
soil very deep, black sandy loan 1t is
now worth S45 or $50 per acre, Most OF
the pasture land has never been plowed,
and the blue grass came in without SOW
ing the seed. The main business of tie
farm is grazing grade Short-HOrn cattle.
There is herd of sixty five thorough
bred Short Horns. Last year 1000 ca =
tie, besides other stock, was pastured on
the farm. Three years ago twenty-five
steers, averaging $500 pounds, were sold
from the farm.
This is a case of remarkable success.
The money for the purchase of the land,
except that obtained as above stated, was
made on the farm. 1t would be folly to
give this as an illustration of what any
young farmer may accomplish, for the
men who succeed in such marked de-
gree in farming are not much more nu-
merous than the number who reach great
success in other lines of business. But
where such great success is secured by
the few, certainly reasonable prosperity
ought to be gained by the many.

GIVE UNtLE WILLIAMA A CHANCE.

All well informed persons are OF the
same opinion that Mr.. Beck is. Our ad-
vice to all other aspirants for the Presi-
dency is to stand aside and let the old
resurrectionist, william Allen" have a
clear field, for as sure as he lives, just SO
sure will he be elected President of tue
United States in 1876. TIE election OF
old Gen. Harrison in 1910 was nothing in
comparison to the lection of old "BilP'
Allen, in 1876. The Rockport Democrat
was the only paperin Indiana that dared
to say two years ago that old Bill" Allen
would be elected Governor Of Ohio. Now
we make the prediction that he Will be
elected President Of the United States IN
1876 Rockpor lInd.) Democrat.

A FABLE.

Ariosto tells story of fairy who, by
some mysterious law of her nature, was
condemned to appear at certain seasons
in the form of foul and poisonous snake.
Those who Injured her during the period
of her disguise were ever excluded from
participation in the blessings she be-
slowed; but to those who, in spite of her
Ioathsome aspect, pitied and protected
her she afterward revealed herself in the
beautiful and celestial form which was
natural to her, accompanied their steps
granted all their wishes, filed their
6ouses with wealth, made them happy
in love, and victorious in war. A usefu
moral might he drawn from this little
fable, in favor of showing kindness ano
civility to the most degraded and un
happy.

THE FORM OF MRS. LINCOLN'S IN
SANITY.

The mania of Mrs. Lincoln has assumed
several phases, the chief of which was
to purchase an extravagant wardrobe
for which the lady had no use. Her
closet was so literally filed with unopen-
ed packages of silks. laces and like ar
ticles of dress that it was impossible to
close the doors. She also labored under
the hallucinatiom that Chicago was about
to be burned again, and drew fifty-seven
thousand dollars worth of bonds she had
deposited at bank, and carried them
about her person for safety. She also
lived in constant terror of personal in
jury from the rebels and other imaginary
enemies. An army ofjewelers dry goods
men and other tradesmen, appeared in
court to testify to her oddities, A trunk
maker swore to her having purchased II
him a large number oftrunks and vail
ses which she could not possibly use.

The Cincinnati Commercial still thinks
that it is of no sort of consequence what
"howling idiots" may think of Taft as a

"howling idiots" may think of Grant as
a third-term man. The Commercial in
