A Happy People.

The people of Tennessee, and par
ticularly of Bedford county, certainly
are or should be very quiet, happy
people. They are not annoyed about
having to make their own wagons,
plows, exc and hoe handles, or any
other farming implt ments. Then we
have all our furniture and in fact ev-
erything about our houses and. We
might say, everything we use, made so
far away from us that we are not dis
turbed with the noise of machiEery or
the sound of the steam whistle. In
hot weather we are furnished, with
melons from Georgia and now we have
cabbages from Michigan, and if we
could only get Uucle Sam to rlp one
of his fast mail trains down this way
so that we could have our breakfast
sent TO us from up North, already
cooked, so that we would not have our
mornings repose disturbed by the
noise and hustle about the cook room,
our happiness would. then be complete.
with one single exception, and that is
where, oh where is the money to
come from to pay for all thisl But
when we think Of this it rises up be-
fore us like Banquo's ghost, ca using
vacant stare into the future that is
fearful TO behold. But surely some
Yankee will come along soon. with
some invention that will remedy this,
and then we will be all right again

The southern Iron Interest.


There has been a steady develop
ment in this industry since the war,
and the great mineral State Of the
South, Alabama, now freely boasts Of
being the chief seat In the Southern
States of the manufacture of hot blast
charcoal iron, her furnaces being sit
uated on the Selma, Dalton and Rome
railroad, from which point shipments
to England have been made and sold
at e to f6 per ton. Specimens from
other mines, which have been sent
forward, are classed by the prominent
English manufacturers as Best best. !"
while the highest grade of iron is only
Best best best This iron trade is
furnishing steady employment to many
hundred native whites and blacks, and
good many English, Scotch and
Swedcs, who are building up the
South, increasing the miniag of hard
coal and using annually millions of
bushels of charcoal bnrnt in the for
ests near the mines. Charcoal costing
6ta7c and coke 9a l0c, the South
must furnish very considerable part
of the 3,O00,000 tons of iron made IN
the Uuited States. This is indicated
by the number Of furnaces now In
blast, and projected, in South Carolina,

Relative Value Of Corn and Hugs.

From carefully conducted expert
ments By different persons, it ias been
ascertsined that one bushel of corn
will make little over 109 pounds of
pork-gross. Taking the result as a
basis, the following deduction, are
made:
When corn costs 12a cents per bush
ell pork costs ] cents per pound.
When corn costs IL cents per bushel
pork costs 2 cents per pound.
When corn costs % cents per bUshel
pork costs 3 cents per pound.
When corn costs 80 cents per hushel
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs 10 cents per tushel
pork costs cents per pound.
The following statements show what
the farmer realizes on his corn when
in the form of pork.
When pork sells for 3 cents per
pound it brings p cents per bushel IL
corn.
When pork sells for 4 cents per
pound it brings 81 cents per bushel in
corn.
When pork sells for ) cents per
pound it brings 10 cents per bushel in
corn.-EechdRge.

Pork Packing.

The Courier-J ournal of the Sd inst.
says
There were at the stockyards this
morning about 200 head of hogs, aver
aging well as to condition and quality,
but Of light weight The bulk of the
supply was bought up by packers at
yesterdays prices. j. e., So i'5C67 y per
100 lbs. The highest prices paid by
butchers, we understand; was 81 so.
None of the packing houses were IN
operation, as they lacked a sufficient
supply of hogs. For the present, GER
tainly, the farmers have Il good market
here, but the majority of packers re-
fuse to pay the prices asked, and a
lower range is anticipated.

Storing Cabbage.

We once saw cabbage put away in
the following manner that was entirely
new to us: A trench about three feet
wide and from four to six inches in
depth was first dug. The cabbages
were then cut off just below the bot
tom leaves and stood upon their heads
in the sun for a few hours, to allow
them to wilt They were then placed
in the trench, as close together as they
could well be slowed, with the heads
downward; little straw was now laid
over them dirt was now heaped upon
this, and the job was completed. The
person whom we saw putting the cab
bages away says that, treated in this
manner. the most inyeterate green will
hesd firmly.
Many of our readers, perhaps, are
already familiar with the above method
of storing eabbages. but there may be
others to whom it isnovel, aud for their
benefit we publish it.

The total vote cast in the recent
Ohio election on the 18th Of October
was: For X. b. Hayes, for Governor,
297 ,013; William Allen. 292 264 ma
ioriiy for Hayes, $40. The total vote
cast was 6l,0 900 greater than that for
President in 1875, the largest ever cast
in Ohio previous to this year The
highest Democratic vote ever cast
previous to this year was in 1872, when
it reached $4,000, or gain o. over
5000 by the Democrats since 1872,
while William Allen has gained 78, 000
over his vote of two years ago, when
he was elected by $40 majority. That
is to say, he received 1900 more votes
than Grant received when he beat
Horace Greedy by nealy 90. 900 majority
So it would seem that the Republican
victory is merely nominal aud not
much to brag of. Their gains are
greatest in Toledo and Cleveland,
where fraudulent votes were easy to
make by the aid of imported voters

1t has been gradually improving since

The largest yieldof No. was the week

of the iron was No. |, and the remain

himself on the laws governing railroad
passenger travel, says that extra char

there must be a full opportunity to buy
offered by the ticket seller. Passeu
gers must show their tickets when
asked for. The courts say passengers
cannot stop off and resume without
previous assent of the company" In
regard to seats, decision says: "A
passenger who exhibits his ticket, need
not surrender it until he has been fur
