Buying Back Farms.

We observe that in certain
parts of the State-says "Oul
Home Journal "-and indeed in
several sections of New England,
persons out of employment who
have some little property by
their habit of saving, are buying
up small farms and going back
upon the land. 1t is the very
best thing they could do. Farm
ing at least keeps one from starv-
ing, and that is something. A
man can preserve his health and
manage to satisfy his appetite
by it, until he can make head
way with his calling. Then, there
is the perfect independence, if
there is any in this world. Every
farmer is his own master. and
at liberty to heep his own hours.
1t is a safe and sure way of liv-
ing, and if the profits are small
they can always be relied on
If business rules were strictly
applied to farming, it would sur
prise the cultivators of the land
to see how the balance always
comes on the right side, even
when farming is carelessly car
rled on. The land is our surest
refuge. It will take care of US
when all other resources fail. If
it demands hard work in the
season, it is easy as compared
with the anxiety and troubled
thoughts to which the men in
cities are constantly exposed
They are wise men who take to
The farms in these times.

A raid is being made on the
public Treasury by those who
desire to have a big appropria-
ton for the United States repre-
setation at the French EXPOSE
ton. There are many, however,
who agree with Congressman
Cox, who says he does not think
the National responsibility will
be enhanced by supporting a lot
OF gay fellows literally at Paris,
and is sure there are plenty of
competent business men and
citizens who would serve better
than paid gentlemen of leisure.

We can scarcely realize the i'm.
mense strides that agriculture is
making the world over. In 1866 the
Colony of Victoria in Australia had
$4,000 under cultivation; now its
cultivated area is ], OO0, 600 acres
The wheat grown annually has risen
from ], 900: 600 bushels to 4, $50, 600.
In 1856 the sheep numbered $50. goo;
they now number II, CSC, 600; the
cattle, which were then only $50, 900,
at present amount to over I, OOO, 600,
or one for every acre Of cultivated
land. The horses have increased
from 81, 600, in 1855, to $50 200.

The South Carolina Issue.

Tuesday the 10th instant was the
day on which the United States
troops were withdrawn from the State
House in South Carolina and Cham
berlaln gave up the State Government
10 the assassins. On doing SO he issued
a remarkable and very eloquent adj
dress. The giving up of South Caro-.
lima 10 the rebels is the first issue Of
IIayes's "peace" policy and We look
upon it as great and inexcusable
blGnder A few years ago the Repub-
Iican party was so strong that it divid-
ed against itself The honest and COM
potent men were on one side and the
corrupt men On the other. Chan
berlain used his great talents TO
put the corrupt men out Of office.
TO this end many southern Demo
crats gave him aid and gave him
promise that they would re elect him
tor his good services. Last year
times had so changed that they
thought they could elect their candi-
dates without the help of any who
had ever been Republicans. They
had all they wanted of Chamberlain
aud they then devoted themselves to
numbering his friends aud splitting
upon him. Just so it will be with
Hayes lie is now ioolishly giving
us all over 20 our enemies and when the
gilt is sealed the man most despised
by them will be Rutherford b.
Hayes. Verify it appears that Amer
icans have not learned to put their
1rust only in men who are always
right and have courage to be right TO
the end oh for Blaine where
HAYES is
