The Athens Post tells n great deal
OF wholesome truth in this brief article A.;
"Perhaps the worst popular la!lacy is
that newspapers ought to be printed
and published in the interest OF the
community-particu!arly the INDECENT
portion of the community. Churches,
200: houses, asylums and all sorts OF
charitable enterprises run to the news
papers for gratuities, as q child runs
to It's mother for help. Politicians,
onlcc-scckcrs, and s~callawags general
ly, count on The unpaid support OF
newspapers. Now, q newspaper, to be
worth anything as a business enter
prise, should be printed in the interest
of its proprietor-just rs much as Tho
merchant should run his business il
his own interest alone. This popula
rullacy has been largely bred by tn
establishment OF party and persona
organs, that live by begging support
and other newspaper mcndacity."

A gentleman who resides in the

the border raiders came from, stated
to a reporter of the New Orleans Times
recently. that Cor,ina and Canales, the
greaser hackers, in his opinion, have
been aided and abcttcd by parties at
Washington. who furnished them with
money on %marauding expeditions into
Texas. Both Of these leaders, he
says, have been in correspondence with
United States citizens, and he knows
that they have had n sudden accession
Of funds. He thinks there is an at

ParsOn iSr0wnlOw at Nashville.

The following extract from a late
Nashville letter to the Chicago Times
explains itself:
"Aftcr BroWnlow had been elected
Governor of Tennessee the second
time, he had one Of the rooms in the
capitol fitted up as n sleeping room,
and had his meals brought to him,
thus making the building his home.
Finally the impetuous old man got into
n rumpus with Fletcher, the Secretary
of State. and Blackburn, the Comptrol
Ter, VINO revengcd themselves upon
him by hunting up an old act of the
legislature declaring that no room in
the capitol building should ever be
used az Il sleeping apartment, whereup-
Brownlow ordered his goods
packed, and at once departed for his
home at Knoxville, explaining to the
Secretary Of State that his salary was
too low to warrant him in renting q

A Jewish Legend.

According to Jewish and Moham-
medan tradition, King Soloman, who
was wise beyond all other men, knew
the language of animals, and could
talk with the beasts Of the field and
the fowl of the air. A rabbinical story
is told of him, which is in this wise:
One day the King rode out of Jeru-
salem with great retinue. An ant
hill lay directly in his path, and Solo
mon heard its little people talking.
"Here comes the great King" he
heard one of them say. ellis fatterers
call him wise and just and merciful,
but he is about to ride over us and
crush us without needing our suffer-
ings."
And Solomon told the Queen OF
Sheba, who rode with him, " hat the
ant said. And the Queen made an
swer:
"He is an insolent creature, o King!
1t is better fate than he deserves to
be trodden under foot.u
But Solomon said:
'1t is the part of wisdom to learn OF
the lowest and weakest
And he commanded his train to turn
aside and spare the ant-hill.
Then all the courtiers marveled
greatly, and the Queen OF Sheba bowed
her head and made obeisance to Solo
mon. +t

On Wednesday morning child of
Mr.. Law, aged about four months, was
discovered dead in the bed. The child
had beer sleeping with the parents,
and when they arose they supposed
the babe was sleeping, and the mother
went about her household duties. After
breakfast the mother went in to take
the baby up and discovered it to be
quite dead. No cause can be assigned
for the sudden death of the infant.

A Santa Barbara Almond Orchard.

The Santa Barbara IndeG says: "Mr
Olmstead, of Carpenteria, has finished
picking his crop of almonds. He will
have from his orchard this season over
five tons of the Languedoc, or soft-shell
almonds. Mr.. Olmstead's orchard is
only four years old, and of course is not
yet in full bearing. His trees bore q
few nuts when two years old. The
third year the average yield to the
tree was about five pounds. Two rows
in the orchard, covering ground equiv
alent to two acres, that received great
care in planting and special culture,
produced 1000 pounds ofdried almonds.
This yield at the wholesale market
price in San Francisco for the soft
shell almonds, will give Mr.. Olmstead
about $3.50 per acre, after paying all
expenses of the years culture, gather
ing and marketing. One reason of Mr.
Olmstead's success in the cultivation
of the almond is the fact that he keeps
the ground clear, cultivating nothing
between the trees, nor allowing weeds
to growtup to rob them. Thorough
cultivation is required for the almond,
and the trees should be at least twenty
feet apartseach way.n
