Mexican Soldiers.

George V. Hebb writing to the
American from Washington City,
January 9th, says the bill giving
pensions to those who were in the
Mexican war has passed the House
by large majority and has also
passed the Senate and is now law.
The bill is uniform in its provis-
ions, giving all who served sixty
days pension of eight dollars per
whether general or pri
vate. The widows who were wives
at the time of the enlistment or ap-
pointment, will also receive eight
dollars per month. This will be
quite a boon to many who served in
that war, more especially to widows
of deceased soldiers.

1t is the duty oc every farmer tc

1t is the duty o: every farmer to
take his county paper.
The farmer may not get rich as
fast as the mere speculator, but he
is not so likely to lose his honora-
bly, earned wealth by the first ad-
verse wind of fortune.
High farming" is thorough cult
vation, liberal manuring, and boun-
tiful crops. 1t is the best stock,
well fed, with large profits. 1t is
the only road to wealth and pros
perity.
Take good care of the work
stock. Let them not get low in
flesh or condition. Feed them well
now, and they will reward your at
tentlon when work is required in
the spring.
To be an improving and success
iul farmer one must read, and study,
and keep posted in all that pertains
to new processes and improved
methods in agriculture. This is
the corner stone of prosperity.
Salt, mixed with Stacked lime and
sowcd on wheat after the snow
melts, two to three Bushels to the
acre, is good, and will largely in
crease the yield and greatly benefit
the land. SO says an agricultural
exchange.
Raise your own horses, cows,
hogs, and sheep, and thus improve
the same. Grow your own supplies,
and thus you will have no occasion
to spend. Where we shall have ev-
erything at home, hard times will
take wings and fly away.
1t is better to have one hundred
bushels of corn off of one acre than
to go over two acres for the same
amount. 1t is infinitely better to
cultivate only half as much land
and to cultivate better, than to ex-
pend your labors over large surfaces
with imperfect cultivation and poor
returns.
Everything now indicates that we
shall have bountiful crops and plen-
ty of good fruit Then let every
farmer bestir himself, and commence
to prepare and cooperate intelli-
gently and earnestly with nature, by
seeing that everything is ready for
spring, and be certain to have all
fences in good repair. And, don't
forget to subscribe for your county
paper.
The ''high farmer" is the farmer
of the future. He viii cultivate less
land, put on all the manure he can
get, and reap large returns on less
labor, and tsus make big profits, and
this will ennoble the avocation and
awaken greater interest in farming.
Farming that is worthy of the name
does pay. but requires an exprndi
ture of brains as we'll as muscle to
secure the largest returns.

Hon. John M. Bright has intro
duced in the House of Representa-
tiyes one of the most important
bills that Congress has been called
upon to consider for half century,
and one which, il it becomes law,
will do more to relieve the
laboring and commercial classes OF
the country, and ease the money
market, than any similar scheme
that has been devised.
Fer the benefit of our readers, all
OF whom are interested in the sub
ject we Will explain, says the NASH
vile Banner, the salient features of
this measure, which are: That the
old round silver dollar, containing
4l2t grains of standard silver, shall
be made a legal tender for all and
every purpose, save when gold is
stipulated in the bond. Then again,
it is made the imperative duty of
the mint authorities to receive
from any person offering gold or
silver bullion, in any shape whatev-
er, from a silver spoon to a bar
from the mines, and issue to all
such note payable in silver or
gold as the cause may be, in 80, go
or 80 days, or at such time as may
be required to convert the same in
to coin, without any expense to the
depositor except the actual cost Of
coinage. Should Mr.. Bright sue
coed in getting this bill passed, as
he doubtless will, its effect will be
TO bring into immediate use as
money the gold and silver of our
mineral regions as fast as il is ex-
t-acted from the earth. instead Of
sending it to England to be sold as
bullion as is now the case. There
is no question whatever that our
mines will produce not less than
$100,o0o,o0o during the present
year, which will go into immediate
circulation as money, thus adding
that amount in hard money to the
circulating medium of the country.
So our readers will see that we have
not attached more than due impor-
tance to this measure.

How curiously the American civil
war crops up in all sorts of clrcum
stances. In 1861 the daughter of
an officer in Ireland married a man
named Darlington, and they lived
together about a year. He then
went to America and entered the
Confederate service, and she heard
nothing more of him until, after al
vertising, satisfactory evidence was
obtained that he was killed during
the war. In 1871 she married the
head of one of the most respectable
families in Scotland, and has since
had several children. Recently,
however, Darlington made his APP
pearance and claimed his wife. You
car imagine the distress that was
occasioned, but by some happy &C
cident it was discovered that when
Darlington married the lady in 1861
he had another wife living, and who
is still alive, and so the Divorce
Court has pronounced the 1861
marriage null aud void, and the
lady remains with her Scotch hus-
band.

Judge Hilary Ward, OF Pulaski,
was here Sunday, and left for
Nashville Monday. The Judge
possesses one OF the finest minds we
know of, and has sounded all the
shoals and depths of knowledge,
and Is the peer Of the greatest think
ers on all the metaphysical ques-
tions. His recent acquisition TO the
Methodist Church, therefore Is a
great source of qualification TO all
his friends, and 20 all Christians.
Some months ago we happened TO
hear read, from an old copy OF the
Columbia Observer, the abiest, most
logical and satisfactory article IN
favor of the Immortality Of the soul
we ever read or heard; on inquiry
we found that Judge Ward was the
author OF it when he was n mere
boy. He now says he has no more
doubt Of the immortality Of the
soul than be has Of his own present
corporeal existence.--C Co'amta Hsr.

Martin College.

We have a county with thirty
thousand inhabitants, whose people
pay in the aggregate $4,000 in
taxes Our people will compare ia
vorably with any in the country fer
intelligence and hospitality. We
stand high on the list as a morBl
and healthy community. In fact,
all outside influences conspire to
make Pulaski one of the very best
points South for female school.
Martin College win compare sue.
cessfully with any school of like
grade IN America. DR.. Rivers, the
President, is 4 gentleman of high
culture and ripe attainments, and
above all a noble Soathern gentleman.
Prof. Casey is a ripe Southern
scholar, who has been a teacher
for many years, and comes highly
recommended. Mrs. Adams needs
no notice in Pulaski. All the bet
ter years of her life have been de-
voted to education, and she is the
peer of any female teacher, no mat
ter where found. Mrs. Menefee,
who has charge of the smaller chill
dren, is all that could be asked of
a lady in her position. "She is a
No. l." In fact, the collegiate de
partment is well and Systematically
arranged. Miss Cody, the teacher
of art, is young lady of rare tai
ents in her line, as specimens of her
paintings will show. The music is
In the hands of that genial, modest,
Southern woman, Miss Fannie Nc
Clellan; and when l say she is far
above the average music teachers /
mean it. Now, why is it that this
school has not two hundred pupils?
1t is entitled to them. You will
hear some men say we will never
have a school in Pulaski, and at
the same time will send their chill
dren off to some school out of the
county. Such, it would seem, want
the school to fail. Others will not
send because their church has not
got charge of the school. Such an
excuse is too tiimsy to be noticed,
yet it governs many people. I be-
lieve that Christianity as taught by
sectarian school teachers is bar
rier to the progress of the human
mind. Teach them sectarianism in
your churches, hut keep it out of
your school houses. Martin College
is far from this blighting influence.
Christianity as taught here is as it
was taught by our Master-pure
and simple. Any one who will look
at the happy children as they romp
and play among the evergreen
shades of our College grounds, and
hear the glad shouts as they well
up from their happy hearts will
agree with Sir Walter Scott when
describing his childhood's home:
"Such hooks are the sweetest shade
The sun in all his rounds surveyed"
Notwithstanding heavy guns opened
on this school before the earth was
removed for its foundation walls,
yet it will prosper and succeed in
spite of croakers and more open
enemies. The people of Giles coun-
ty owe it to themselves that it
should prosper, and 1 call on them
to come forward and aid DIR. Rivers
in building a splendid school, of
which we will all be proud.

Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia, thus
disposes of the sophistical nonsense
that the President of the Senate
alone has judicial power over the
count of the Electoral vote:
Everything done in the presence
of Court was done under its pro.
lection and control The same
sense was found in the sublime ap-
peal of Moses to the God of Israel.
''Ii Thy presence be not with me
carry us not hence" 1t did not re-
ter to the omnipresence of the Del
ty, but it meant the presence in the
sense of superintendence, direction,
and care. The use of the word
presence" in that clause of the
Constitution meant an active, vital,
controlling, and determining super
vision of the whole procedure. If
it did not mean that it meant moth
ing more than the curious presence
of bystanders or of the crowd in
the galleries. 1t could not be that
the House was to be present merely
to witness a mistake which it could
not correct, an illegallty which it
could not forbid, a wrong which it
could not rectify, or fraud which
it could not Illustrate. On such n
construction as was contended for
on the opposite side the presence of
the two Houses became a solemn
farce, dumb show, an empty pa
geant, and a mythical humbug.
