The Needs of Agriculture.

We often. hear men talk of tho dull
ness and stupidity of farming. But
where is there a field of enterprise that
requires so much and so. varied fore
thought as the proper cultivation of the
soil? And there is no field on the farm
that requires more cultivation than the
brain: The farmer must lay his plans
for years, not only in regard to the man
ner he would till his soil, >. but in regard
to the products and development of his
farm for greater capacity in the future.
The different qualities of the soil must
be studied and experimental upon, suit
ing each kind of product to its particular
soil.
Successful agriculture must be con-
trolled by intelligence. Brains are ne
cessary. A man may rise before day and
work till after night; may sow with dill
igence and reap with care, but unless the
farm work is done in the proper way and
at the proper time, the effort in part will
be failure.
In this connection we may call atten-
tion to the benefits derived from agricul-
tural literature. The time has arrived
when the farmer must be educated for
his calling. The age which we live in
and the circumstances surrounding US,
demand that educated minds should be-.
come closely connected with rural pur-
suits. There is no mistaking the admo.
nitions of the future on this point. And
why should not the husbandman be pre-.
pared for his manifold duties as we'll and
thoroughly as the lawyer, the doctor or
minister Surely, no sufficient reason
exists. The lawyer, for instance, is con-
fined to the statute book, or to long and
we'll settled decisions; precedent is his
guide, aud he follows it because it is old
and universal. The minister must ne.
!cessarily confine himself to the sacred
writings and his own peculiar theology.
/, If he teaches anything which cannot be
sustained by them, he teaches error. The
physician confines himself to different
diseases to which the body is heir.
But the agriculturalist enters upon a
field without scope or limit. Nature, i'll
all her untold amplitude and boundless
research, is still beckoning us onward to
heights and depths that seem to know
no bounds. She is not only generous in
her gifts, but true to her promises. Her
laws are the same over all the earth.
The atmosphere, the clouds, the storms,
the heat and cold are not controlled by
the fitfulness of uncertainty, but well
established rules that she discovers only
to devotees. And shall we be told that
it is waste of time and money to learn
her secrets ?-Ohio Farmer.

"Your story is pretty, but sad, little
sister," said Walter, "and I often think
our forefathers did not do their whole
duty by their heather neighbors. The
story of the overthrow OF the red men in
this fair land of ours, is. truly and touch
ingly mournful. But let us get into the
house, for the night dews are falling
fast"
"I wonder if we will all ever meet
again; and when, and !where?" said
Jessie, with unusual sadness in her tones.
None replied. That gloomy winter Of

meath the veil which ever conceas the
future.

No TINE TO READ.-We have often
encountered many who profess to believe
they have no time to read. Now we
think of it, there have always been men
of such characters, the points Of which
are easily summed up.
Nine times out of ten, they are men
who have not found time to confer any
substantial advantage either upon their
families or themselves. -. =
They frequently spend whole days in
gossiping, trifing and swapping horses,
but they have no time to read. 9"'71'
They sometimes lose a day asking the
advice of their neighbors: sometimes a
day in picking up the news, the prices
current, and the exchange, but these men
"neyer have time to read"
Such men generally have uneducated
children, unimpro7ed farms and unhap'
py iresides. They have no energy, no
spirit of improvement, no love of knowl-
edge; they live "unknowing and un-
known" and often die unwept and unre-

Colonel Hoyt takes great interest in
the success of journalism in this State,
and was among the first to insist upon
the organization of Press Association.
He was elected Vice-Presideht Of the
Association of 1872, which failed, and
then to the Presidency of the Association
of 1875, which still lives, and will live,
we hope, to a ripe old age. Colonel
Hoyt is of medium height, with finely
developed figure, an eloquent eye, and is
a genial, whole-souled gentleman: May
he live a thousand..years, as they say in
in China, and prosper.

The GREAT. MISCHIEF OF GRANTS
ApM1NIsTRATIoN,-We, for our part, see
far more danger to the government in
popular familiarity with or indifference
to the evils which Gen. Grants admins
tration has fostered, than in the possible
ty of the election of any man for three
terms. It must not be forgotten, in esti-
mating or in criticising his political
career, that it is the very fact Of his
strong claim on popular gratitude which
has made his two terms so demoralizing,
and it is almost always by men with
claims on popular gratitude that the'seeds
of political ruin are sown., -,q.a.> ~.
If he had not been a successful. general
in dark days, he would have become
odious before 1872; but with the halo Of
the war about him, not only have terri
BILE number of faults been, forgiven him,
but they have come to lose the appear
ance of faults, and to take on that Of vir-
tues. No ordinary President could, for
instance, have been allowed to give a
government like this Mussulman favor,
By appointing high public functionaries
through pure personal caprice.
When President Grant first began to
make extraordinary and, as it seemed,
scandalous selections for places IN the
civil service, his friends maintained that
we must not reproach him, that he was
simple minded man, who was necessarily
in this matter in the hands of the Sena-
tors and Representatives bat he speed.
" dissipated this theory by appointing
Simmons of Boston in defiance of the
Representative of the district, and Nc
Donald of st. Louis in defiance of the
whole State delegation. In short, he has
administered the government neither. on
the old American "spoils" system nor
on the new "civil service reform" system,
but on the Sultanic or Turkish system,
which says: "I Like Mustapha; put the
Vizier's robes on him, and give anybody
who says he is thief one hundred blows
with stick."-7he Nation.

has reached the highest honors of the
Order, and is much admired and beloved
by his brethren of the mystic tie. For
two years he served as Grand High Priest
of the Grand Chapter of the State, and
manifests lively interest in all the work
ings of the craft. In addition to his con-
nection with this Order he is member
of the Grange, has been prominent as an
Odd Fellow, is in earnest sympathy with
the temperance cause, and, better than
all, is an humble and devoted Christian
of the Baptist Church, for the prosperity
of which he has exhibited the greatest
energy.
In every object tending to develop the
material resources of the State, and par
ticularly of the County in which he lives,
Colonel Hoyt has put forth his best exer-
tions, and to him much more, perhaps,
than to any other single individual does
the Anderson Farmers and Mechanics
Association owe its present great pros
PERRY. Since the organization of this
Society, in 1868, Colonel Hoyt has filled
the Office of Secretary and Treasurer, and
has aided in putting it upon better and
more stable footing than any similar or
ganization tn the State. In addition to
this he is a firm believer in the civilizing
agency and commercial importance of
railroads, and has frequently urged the
extreme necessity of grand trunk line
to the great northwest, as the one thing
needful to the complete development of
the resources and the possibilities of
upper South Carolina. In fine he is q
friend to any undertaking that tends to
improve the condition Of the people as
individuals and as members of society.
1t is almost needless to say that such a
man as this could be insensible to the
softer and nobler impulses of human
kind, and that when he wooed he did not
WOO in vain. He was married on Janua-
ry 80, 1866, to Miss Rebecca c. Webb,

A BARBAROUs MURDER.

How the Natives Hacked and Tortured to
Death the Queens Commissioner at Perak.
A private letter Just received in Liver
pool gives the following details, which
have hitherto not appeared, of the murder
OF MIR. Birch, the queens commissioner at
Perak, by the Malay natives: You have of
course heard before this of the murder of
Mr.. Birch, but you are probably not aware
of the circumstances of fendish atrocity
which attended the outrage. Mr. Birch
went up to Persk in order to post some
official procamations. While having his
bath he sent his native interpreter to post
them up. The man fastened two up, but
the people at once tore them down again,
whereupon he returned TO Mr.. Birch to ask
what he should do. The latter told him to
put them up as fast as they were torn down,
and this the interpreter did until he had
posted no less than seven, when he lost his
temper and struck one OF the natives with
q cane. Hi was Immediately killed, and
the natives then ran in body to Mr.. Brch's
bathroom, which was built on two floating
logs. His orderly, who was at the entrance,
presented his gun, but seeing he could not
stop them, he cried out to Mr.. Birch to
save himself, and jumped into the river.
Mr.. Birch dived down between the two
beams, and on coming up, feet foremost,
on the other side, the fore part of both his
feet were cut of by the instep. He Owed
again and tried TO swim back to his boat,
but he was struck again, and both heels
were cut off with a sword stroke from ons
of the natives. He was then captured,
taken on shore and speared through the
neck to the ground, after which he was
stabbed about dozen times in various
parts of the body. Even after this horrible
TEXTURE he lived some hours. Next day
Capt. Innis and two other officers, and
small body of men of the tenth regiment,
went up try to recover the body of Mr..
Birch, together with his documents, etc.
In attacking stockade Capt. Innis was
killed, and the other two officers with eight
men, were wounded. The party had then
to retire and wait for reinforcements
