The death, within the same week,
of two such notable men as Vice
President Wilson, the noble man and
pure statesman, and VIM. B. Astor,
the richest man in America, affords
the press an opportunity to moralize
upon the relative value of character
and lofty manhood, as compared with
mere money. The whole nation
bows with genuine sorrow over the
grave of Henry Wilson, sprung from
the very lowest station in lite, the
poor cobbler of Natick, who, after an
active life in the public service,
leaves the stage of action possessed
of scarcely more of this worlds goods
than when he entered upon his career,
but rich in honest fame and the we'll
earned gratitude and veneration of
his countrymen. Turn to the rich
man, Astor, and beyond the circle of
his relatives and intimates no sorrow
is manifested. A money getter in
life, his chief hold on fame will be
the distinction of amassing a col
lossal fortune, which, applied to no
noble or humane purpose, he leaves
to his children. Around the memory
OF Henry Wilson is the. halo of an
unselfsh love for humanity and a
record OF good and noble Deeds
His example survives to bless and in
fluence the world, while Astor leaves
nothing but his piled up millions,
which may proves curse. The Amer
lean youth Oh the threshold of his
career in life can have no better les.
son than that conveyed by these dis
similar lives. ..

If man steals to the value of
twenty dollars, the punishment is
prison for a year; if he steals nine.
teen dollars and ninety-nine cents, he
only goes to the county Jail Tor one
month; certainly it is big conse-
quence to hang on SO small a point.
For stealing one cent-the last one
the punishment is penitentiary for
eleven months. Of course a con-
scientious thief would, il he had the
leisure, conform to the Law and make
the change, SO as to get inside the
twenty dollars. If there Is case
conceivable where the court would
be justified in waving the law tits in
a case adjustable in such small coin;
but even that is not permissible

COMO, Miss April l7.-From a care
full and accurate estimate of the cOndi.
ton Of Pamela county, am positive
that the per centage indicated in the
very intelligent and satisfactory report
OF the committee on the part OF the
chamber Of commerce will be fully sus.
tanned, il not increased. An intelligent
planter, and most generally known,
Colonel Ed. F. M'Gehee, says: "In
my neighbOThood, both as, to labor, i'm
prOvement in fences and houses, and
increase in wheat and corn, answer,
an increase above the report" This
state OF affairs is truly encouraging, and
especially 80 for the farmers of our cOun-
ty, who have "accepted the situation"
and realize the importance of diversi-
ty of crops, with q thorough knowledge
Of the wants OF the labOrer. The lsborer
has united with the farmer in the great
reformation, the retrenchment and bet
ter culture, and are disposed to stay at
home, rather than ride their stock at un-
seemly hours, attending to or upon
gatherings Of any character. The
order of Patrons Of Husbandry
has certainly opened up this
bright future to our farming interests
and the united lnHuence OF the Patrons.
We note decided improvement in the
social as we'll as political atmosphere.
The rampant party spirit that has so
long prOstrated the energy aud detected
the true interests of the farmer, by the
withdrawal OF labor from the farms, is
now being entirely forgotten in the gen.
ersl rally to the plow. boys, to the plOw.
This will save US, while dancing attend.
snce upon loyal Leagues and bowling
parsons puts no money in our pockets.
With one accord the farmer has struck
the keynote Of the future agricultural
campsign-ecOnOmy Never neglect
your crops, look after the old SOW, at
tend in person upon farming operations,
enter into the spirit of farming, and see
in what We can protect the laborer from
the sharper that has, by heavy and un-
due percentages created the dssdetis fac
tunl pervading sll our squads. We sell
our crops, pay the merchant, and we
have nothing left. Corn looks badly

Americans as Mexicsns, and that Amer.
ican citizens, disguised as Indians and
Mexicans, frequently raid upon the set
