Keep Your Boys at Home.

The Rev. w. II. Murray says in
the Golden Rule e: ''Invent possible
amusement to keep your bo;s hap
py at home in the evenings. Never
mind if they do make a noise around
you with their whistle and hurrah-
lng.l Never mind if they do scatter
books and pictures, coats, hats and
boots. We would stand against if
we could have vision of young men
gone to utter destruction for the
very reason that, having disagreed.
BILE, dull, stiff liresides at home, they
sought amusement elsewhere. The
influence of a loving sister is incal-
culable. Like the circle formed by
casting stone into the water, it
goes on and on through a mans
whole life. Circumstances and
worldly pleasure may for a time
weaken the remembrance, but each
touch upon the chord of memory
will waken the old time music, and
her voice and her loving words will
come up before him like revelation.
The time will come, before you
think, when you would give the
world to have the house Cumbled by
those very boys.

A Triangular SCrlmmage.

The Newburyport Herald says a
novel fight was witnessed in that
city on Sunday between a rat, hen
and rooster. A hen scratching near
a water cask, was suddenly inter
rupted by a huge rat, and neither
would give way. Finally the hen
made a pass with her beak, which
the rat lodged, and then the rat
made a spring for her neck, which
was not a success. Atthis juncture
a cluck from the hen brought up the
rooster, who, like gallant cock,
came into the ring to take hand
himself. Then commenced a tri-
angular scrimmage with teeth and
beaks. The hen had sent him one
right ON the smeller, which seemed
very much to anger the rat, who,
gathered for spring on his antago-
mist, which was prevented by the
cock lighting upon him and putting
both spurs into his body, performing
the solemn tragedy Of harikari.
Not satisfied with disemboweiing
their enemy, they picked out his
eyes and left him.

the strawberry industry is the larg-
est. The settlement produces all
its food except grain and meat.
The cottages of Hammonson are
nestled among 100000 pear trees,
10000 apple trees, 5000 peach trees,
800 acres of Strawberries, 500 acres
of blackberries, 400 acres of cranber-
ries, 800 acres of raspberries and 100
acres of grapes.
AN AGRICULTURAL MINT.
Most Of the fruit is sent to Phila-
delphia. Forseven consecutive days,
last yea +, seven car loads of straw
berries were sent to markes every
day. Hammouton pays the Cam
den and Atlantic Railroad about $15,-
600 year for freight on fruit alone.
The strawberry shipping season be-
gins about the 1st of June, continu-
ing for three weeks; then comes the
raspberry season, followed by the
blackberry, and this, in turn, by the
grapes and pear. Thus for five
months, from the 1st of June until
the 1st Of October, there is an unin-
terrupted stream of luscious fruit
flowing out of Hammonton. Just
now the straw berry fields are dotted
with women and children, picking
the fruit, but they are not the
women and children of Hammonton,
for you find these at home and in
school, refined, well.dreSsed and diff
fering in their manners and customs
from the city aristocracy only in be .
ing types of that health and happi-
ness resulting from rural pleasures
and from exercise useful to the house
hold as we'll as to the body. Unlike
Vineland, where the contrast be-
tween the rich and the poor, the ed
ucated and the eless-informed, is COM
paratively great, Hammonton is de-
cidedly high-toned' throughout, and
nearly every parlor has its piano or
organ, every house its little library
and every child its love of poetry
and flowers. The pickers referred
to are Germans, principally from
Egg Iarbor City, and about eight
hundred of these hardy people are
now employed in the IIammonton
fields. In addi tion to its five school
houses lone being a High School),
and two weekly news -papers-the
Hammonton Item and Republican,,
both edited by DR.. III. E. Bowles-
the settlement has four churches, a
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian
and Episcopalian. The Methodist
predominant. There IS not u police
man in the place, and only one con-
stable, who, by the way, would be
obliged to emigrate for a living if
bread and butter depended upon the
number of occas ions occurring for
the suppression of crime. The gov
ernment is vested in Town Coun-
Gil, whose presid ent (now Mr.. Col
we'll, Is the municipal executive,
and each of whose members is en-
powered to act as policemen when
necessary.

From the Philadelphia Times.

rfOHl lIc IHIlduclpnld lines.
A party of Camden and Atlantic
Railroad men and members of the
Philadelphia press made an excur-
sion to the fruit-growing village of
Hammonton, New Jersey, about
thirty miles from Philadelphia, to
see the great profusion in which the
strawberry grows at this season.
Having used up the day in going
the rounds of that peculiarly inter-
esting settlement, speeches were
made in the Town Hall, the most
notable of which was one by Burnett
Landreth, late Chief of the Bureau
of Agriculture at the Centennial
Exhibition. He suggested TO the
citizens of Hammonton that they
might add to their present excep-
tional prosperity by the cultivation
of Sugar beet. Jersey he said,
.'wouid have the advantage of Loui-
sianna in this Industry. The latter
is an unhealthy place, which the for
mer is not, and at the same time the
soil of Jersey is as good, if not bet
ter, than that of Louisiana for the
purpose. Of the 1,750,000 tons of
beet sugar manufactured last year in
the world, about 5S3, 900 tons, or
one-third Of the whole were made in
the United States. In addition to
fitnees of the soil, there is another
great reason why the manufacture
of beet sugar should be more gener-
ally introduced in this country,
namely, the absence of internal reve-
nue upon the industry. Ia Europe

THE GEN OF THE JERSEYS.

For miles around Hammonton
there is little suggestive of the pro-
verbal sands and pineries of jersey,
and as to the town itself it may be
fairly said to have earned it's title of
"the Gem of the Jerseys" Located
on gently undulating, well watered
ground, at central point between
the two great markets of Philadel-
phia and New York and the import
ant one of Atlantic City, it is al,
that could be desired from an agri-
cultural and mercantile point of
view, while its landscape of model
cottages, eYergreens, fruit orchards,
groves and Hammonton lake, beau
tiful sheet mile long andtwo hun
dred yards wide, Just east of the
settlement, would enchant the most
fastidious artist. The town, if it
may be so called, is in the form of
parallelogram, extending three miles
along the railroad and six miles from
northeast to southwest and is inter-
sected at right angles by seventy
miles of good roads. There is not
fence in the place except those of the
barnyard, all the land boundaries be-
ing hedges Of spruce or Rosedale ar
Dor vitae. Consequently cattle and
horses are not allowed to run at
large, but are tethered when graz
ing. The live stock. however, are
fed principally in their pens. the
husbandmen believing that the grass
of1ve acres, cut and carried to the
animals, will do them as much good
as the grazing of twenty acres. But
only enough COWS are kept to supply
the owners with dairy food. The
principle industries are the growing
OF strawberries, raspberries, black
berries, pears and grapes. Of thess

KITE FLYING IN JAPAN.

OF all the sports at which the boys
Of Japan amuse themselves, kite fly
ing seems to afford the most fun and
enjoyment. japanese kites are not
plain coffin-shaped bits of tissue
paper, such as American boys fly.
They are made of tough paper,
stretched ON light frames of bamboo,
and of al shapes square, oblong,
or oval. They are also made to i'm
itate animals. L have often, in my
walks in Japan, seen whole paper
menagerie in the air. There were
crying babies, boys with arms spread
out, horses, fish, bats, hawks, crows,
monkeys, snakes, dragons, -bovines,
ships, carts and houses. Across
and behind the top of the kite a
thin strip of whalebone is stretched,
which huns, buZZes, or sings high
in air, like hurdygurdy or swarm
of beetles. When the boys Of
whole city are out in kite time there
is more music in the air than is de-
lightful. The real hawks, crows and
other birds give these buZzing coun-
terfeiters a wide berth. In my
walks / often was deceived when
looking up, unable to tell at first
whether the moving black spot in the
air was paper or q real living crea-
ture with beak, claws and feathers.
The Japa nese boys understand well
how to send messengers to the top
of the kite and how to entangle each
others kites. When they wish to
they can cut their rivals string and
send the proud prize fluttering to the
ground. To do this they take about
ten feet of the string near the end,
dip 1t in glue and then into bits of
powdered glass, making a multitude
of tiny blades as sharp as a razor,
and looking, when magnified, like
the tap of a wall in which broken
bottles have been kept to keep off
climbers.
When two parties of boys agree to
have paper war near the clouds,
they raise their kites and then at
tempt to cross the strings. The
most skillful boy saws off, with his
glass saw, the cord Of his antagonist.
The usual size Of the kite is two
feet square, but often four feet; and
have seen many that were six feet
high. OF course such kite needs
avery heavy cord, which Is carried
in basket or on big stick. They
require a man Or very strong boy
to raise them, and woe betide the
small urchin who attempts to hold
one in a stiff breeze The hum
ming monster in the air will drag
him off his feet, pull him over the
street or into the ditch before he
knows it. Tie such kite to dogs
tail and no japanese canine would
ever turn around to bite the string.
If the government allowed it boys
and young men would make kites
a5 large as an elephant.-IfarelS in
Japan.

A MODEL FRUIT VILLAGE IN
NEW JERSEY.


Eighteen years ago Mr.. r. J.
Burnse, now Associate Judge of the
Atlantic county IN. J. court, built
for himself q dwelling near the
Camden and Atlantic Railroad, thir-
ry miles from this city. Discover
ing the healthfulness of the climate
and extraordinary fitness of the soil
for producing such fruits as are
raised in other parts Of Jersey and
in Delaware, he made known these
advantages to his friends in New
England, and. soon afterward had
for his neighbors about dozen thrift
ty Yankees and their families. This
settlement formed the nucleus of
what is now Hammonton, the larg-
est and most thrifty agricultural,
town in New Jersey except Vine
land. Hammonton contains nearly
two thousand inhabitants, mostly
natives of New England or their de-
scendants. Its dwellings, six hun
dred in number, are scattered over
an area of eighteen square miles,
suugly located in the midst Of shade,
flowers and fruit patches, on farms
of from fifty to sixty acres in extent.
The buildings..are all of wood, most
of them being admirable specimens
Of rural architecture. Perhaps a
poor man could not be found resld-
ing in town. They have all turned
pears and strawberries into gold.
AS an instance Of the increase in the
value of the land and of the profits
Of fruit-growing M. ColTell's farm
of thirty six acres may be mention
ed. Fifteen years ago it was bought
at 800 an acre, and eleven years
later the owner sold it to Mr.. Col
we'll for so, 500, or about 1922 an
acre. Last years income from this
land was about $1,000, or nearly 333
Der cent. of the original investment.
Mr.. Colwell's Bartlett pear orchard
of one thousand trees is one Of the
largest in Jersey and netted him
over one-half his income for last
year. The township, which bears
the name of the town, contains for
ty-two square miles of land, twenty
four of which are covered with tree
stumps and undergroth, just as the
original Yankee settlers found the
now cultivated tract in 1860. But
this untitled ground is quite as pro-
ductive as tie other, and the broken
merchant need only secure a portion
CT it, which he can do as cheaply
now as the early settlers obtained
theirs, in order to insure for himself
and his family health and indepen-
dence.

the receipts for internal revenue on
sugar amounted last year to $40,-
600, 900. On an average an acre Of
beets, as in Germany, should pro-
duce thirteen tons of sugar, one ton
of the latter being obtained from ev-
cry eleven tons Of beets. A suita-
BILE factory could be erected in this
country for $4,000, with capaci-
tY Of working the roots from one
hundred acres of land, and employ
ing only fifteen men. Beets in this
country bring SIS ton, and an acre
should produce twelve TONS" Mr..

MEMPHIS, TENN SATURDAY EVENING. JANUARY 90 1871
Thus is Mr.. Robinson vindicated,

Thus is Mr.. Robinson yindicated,
but how many Of the leading actors
in the terrible drama of the re-
bellion have been, in like manner,
flung into history as guilty Of crimes
against the humanities of Christian
warfare by the passions which sur-
yiTe civil war? This question is
grave one, and must soon command
the earnest attention of considerate
men Of both sections. Jefferson
Davis has been accused Of the de-
liberate starvation of prisoners of
war, consigning them to tortures
worse than a thousand deaths, and
when shall the truth be established
and accepted as authentic history?
Not only by partisan journals when
iniaming the prejudice of u people
to recruit armies or to win political
contests, but by statesmen on the
floors Of Congress, have these fear
ful accusations been made and yet
a full decade has gone by, evidence
has perished, and power mas failed
TO employ its resources to teach the
world the truth or falsity of the
charge. If true, Mr.. Davis should
have atoned for it by his death in
obedience to the judgment of Chris
tian law; if untrue, he should be
acquitted Of it before the enligh-
tened civilization that must heap
upon such a crime its most terrible
execrations. Why there has not
been dispassionate inquiry into the
disputed records of conspicuous
actors in the rebellion, is a question
that comes from very many sincere
men who believe that only the truth
should be crystalized into history.
We owe it to the world now, after
nearly twelve years Of peace, to rise
above passion and prejudice in both
sections, and present ourselves to
history and to each other as we
really were. We owe, each to his
foe, the justice of candor that brave
men ever concede to brave men
and we owe it to a once estranged
but now reunited people, with a
common country and common laws
and common aspirations, to turn
back through the scars and sores
of intensified hate, and make truth
the guiding star of those who wor-
shipped the blue and the gray.
