Throughout the South, Who is it that is

Throughout the South, WI no is it that is
poor, and crying abroad that "Farming
don't pay?" 1t is the producer, who in
dividualizes himself from the day he
contracts with his employees in January,
until he barvests his crop, when sud
denly he becomes gregarious animal,
and hurries Oft his crop to market be-
cause every one else is doing the same
thing. No cooperation in hiring labor;
none as to the area planted, or the time
of planting, or method OF cultivation;
but a general cooperation and rush
upon the market, when the proceeds OF
the years labor are harvested; hence a
consequent depression in prices, and
repetition of the siren song, 'Farming
don't pay" On the other hand, who is
growing rich, and complaining of moth
ing, until he has occasion to abuse some
one who has proven an agricultural fail
ure? 1t is the vendor, and generally he
who vends the necessaries Of lite, which
from lack of cooperation amongst farm
ers have been perverted into legitimate
articles of speculation. These articles,
however, are all '.cash;" but OF course
the already fleeced farmer has no ''cash,"
and hence by some process Of flegerde-
main, these s'cash" articles must be con-
verted into credit articles. This is easy
enough done. 1t is only-presto--a
change--a lien, and the thing Is accom-
plished In twinkle, at a cost Of forty,
fiity, sixty, or eighty per cent. per an
mum. This selEimpOsed burthen, this
milestone about his neck, the farmer car
ries through all the long scorching days
OF summer, to discover in the fail, the
theme OF his amentations-"Farm

be veritable automaton. He walks
continually, mumbling without cessa-
ton, and appearing to be wholly unc0n-
scious of persons or objects by which he
is surrounded: He walks Straightf0r-
ward, never speaking word. When he
encounters any obstacle, he stops, feels
it with his hands, and seeks a way of
avoiding or going aroundit, without Civ
ing the least sign of intelligence, as If he
were in state of somnambulism. He
is absolutely without feeling. Pins may
be stuck into his flesh without producing
the slightest sensation, and violent elec-
trical shocks fail to move him in the least
degree. This state is not, however, that
of entire unconsciousness, as is shown
by the remarkable fact that If a pen is
put into his hand he Immediately seeks
tor ink and paper, and upon obtaining
them, writes a letter, in which he speaks
correctly and intelligently of various
matters which concern him. So, also, If
q piece of cigarette paper ts placed in
his hand, he Immediately takes tobacco
from his pocket, rolls cigarette, lights
it with match from his box, and smokes
it. If one extinguishes the match before
it reaches the cigarette, he takes anoth-
er from his pocket, and lights it as be-
fore, refusing absolutely to take one

ed. He will allow his moustache TO be

but will not take lighted match which
may be offered him. If chopped lint be
substituted tor the tobacco contained in
his pouch, he makes his cigarette Of 1t,
and smokes it without appearing to no.
tice the difference of taste. Among the
experiments of DR.. Mesnet upon this
singular subject is one tnat is particu-
larly curious. He places in the hands of
the man who, as has been said, had been
public singer, pair of kid gloves.
The man Immediately puts them on, and
seeks his sheet of music, upon which he
assumes the attitude of u public per-
former, and begins to sing. When the
crisis is past he becomes perfectly
reasonable, but has not the slightest re-
collection of what has occurred. The
case presents an interesting subject of,
investigation for physicians and psy-
biologists.

THE YEAR OF JUBILEE.

This is the year of Jubilee for more
than half Of -Christendom. All Catholics
are expected TO do special penance and
merit plenary indulgence by thorough
ly repenting of their sins and obtaining
forgiveness. The Archbishop of Balti
more, j. Roosevelt Bailey, has issued an
earnest letter to the priests of his dio-
cese, instructing them as to the require
ments of the Church in this great iesti-
val. Besides pentance, good will and
charity, all Catholics are required to
visit four churches day for fifteen days
in cities that contain four churches, and
where there is but one church, four dit-
ferent visits to the church on each day
are required. But they need not go
home after each visit. They can simply.
go out and after short time return.
In each of these visits they are to pray
moi merely Tor themselves, but especially
ssfor tine prosperity Of the Catholic
Church and of the Apostolic See, for
the extinction OF heresy and error
Tor the conversion of all who have
strayed away from the truth, and for the
peace and unity of the whole Christian
people,"
Archbishop Bailey takes q gloomy
view of the moral and religious charac-
ter of the age. He colIates many cir
cumstances to show that our religion,
compared with the piety of the people
previous to the diffusion Of the doctrines
of the French philosophers, has very
greatly degenerated. AS to the moral
character Of the age he says:
The age in which we live is pre.emi-
nently hage of worldliness and mater
ialism. The old doctrines Of religion
have lest their hold upon the hearts Of
the great majority of men. Even those
principles of truthfulness and honor and
self-respect which came from religion,
aud Influenced the conduct of 80 many
WHO could not be called religious men
themselves, have passed away. And
The consequence is that in the midst Of
great seeming temporal prosperity there
Is u reckless disregard Of truth, justice,
