Two daughters ana one son Mrs. Pat
terson, wife of ex-senator Patterson.
the lady of the White House who re-
ceived and entertained during her
fathers administration with such dig
nifty and grace Mrs. Brown, formerly
Mrs. Stover, at whose residence he died:
and Andrew Johnson, Jr., of the Green
vile Intelligencer.
IT is melancholy sign of the univer-
salty with which Americans seem to be
forsaking farm work, that, even in q
period when the dullness Of manufac-
lures and trade leaves thousands unem-
ployed, the farmers find it hard to get
sufficient help. The complaint is gen
eral in all parts of the country that
sufficient help cannot be obtained to
handle the crops with.
THE stockholders of tie Augusta
cotton factory have resolved upon the
issuance of bonds to the extent of
100000 AS this concern has hitherto
been believed to be the most successful
cotton manufacturing establishment in
the south, the fact that it is compelled
to borrow money on SO large scale
looks rather discouraging for the imme-
diatc future of that industry.
THE difficulty of recovering any thing
from Boss Tweed and his associates may
be seen from the fact that, of the I5l
vouchers on which warrants were issued,
III of them have been stolen, and the
plaintiff is required to produce the
stolen vouchers and bills attached, and
specify which portion of them is fraud
ulont. As the bills cannot be repro
duced, the dilemma is apparent. The
pIuuderors seem to be safe.
SENATOR NoRwooD, of Georgia, in
his recent address at Emory College,
made some interesting points. Among
them were these: "While emancipa-
tion diminished our wealth, it increased
our political power. Negroes vote for
men and not meaaures, and their SOC, 900
votes will be added to ours. The negro
is grayitatiDg toward us. The people
of the north will soon rise and demand
@ surrender of the elective franchise or
colonization"
. L. Il. ELLIOTT, well known writer
on agriculture, has,been collecting cer-
tam data in regard to fruit culture, aud
gives the total market value of the crop
of the ept;ra cor,vtr,, % or OOO oon
New York leads all the states in amount
with S7,OOO,O 600. California's figures
are largest in proportion to population,
being So, 0O0, 600, this sum probably in
cluding the yield from vineyards. The
total sum for the New England states
is put at SG,OOO.OOO.
THE success of the Cornell crew in
the Saratoga regatta has revived the
controversy rs to the effect of high
physical culture on mental training,
and this has drawn out President White,
OF Cornell, who bears strong testimony
IN regard to the scholarship of the boat
lrg men. He says : "The register has
furnished to me the official state
ment of the standing of the men,
bers of the university crew which
has won the race, and am glad
to say that it represents admirable
scholarship in the various departments,
and L feel warranted in making the
statement that wero you to choose out
by lot an equal number of students
from the university, the chances are
two to one that you would not take in
os many men who have been as faithful
and diligcut in their intellectual pur-
suits at the university"
AT last tho cotton states arc learning
wisdom. The experiment of diversified
cropping, which the more prudent have
Tor years been urging, has this season
been tried with most encouraging re-
suits. 1t is a fact that the gulf states
have grown a surplus of cereals, if the
estimates of the papers of those states
can be trusted. Not only is there an
unprecedented wheat crop, but cotton
culture has been prosecuted with a now
diligence and method, resulting in an
unusual yield to the acre. Thus instead
OF mortgaging the growing cotton crop
ior food to eat, the planter can this year
supply his table mainly from his own
acres, while he stores MS prime staple
and awaits the top of the market. This
IS the beginning of independence for
the south-hrst diversified agriculture,
then manufactures.
THERE is some evidence that tho Nor
mons are going to make a scapegoat of
John d. Lee, and let him be conv.c,ed,
IN the hope that some of the greater
lights of Mormondom will esclpe the
punishment which they so richly de-
serve. Brigham Young is strongly
suspected OF having given the order for
tho massacre; at least the evidence in
'he pending trial at Beaver points that
way. The prophets affidavit has been
taken, and he stoutly denies having
heard anything about the Mountain
Meadow 0fIair for some months. He
stated that the reason that he did not
take active measures TO bring the per-
petrators OF the horrible deed to iustiee
when he heard of it, was because n new
governor had been appointed, and he
supposed ne would investigate the mat
ter. 1t does not seem at all likely that
Brigham heard nothing of the masssc ere
Tor some months. 1t is said by the
Mormons themselves that he received
his share of the plumber when it was
taken to Salt Lake City.
