Many farmers are exceedingly
dissatisfied with their profession,
and repine at their duties. On the
other hand, Socrates, the wis, st of
ancient philosophers, said of it:
agriculture is an employment
the most worthy of the application
OF man; the most ancient, and the
most suita bic to his nature. 1t is
the common nurse of all persons in
every age and condition of lis; it is
the source of health, strength. plen
ty, and riches, and of thousand
sober delights and honest pleasures.
1t is the mistress and school of so
briefly, temperance, Justice, religion,
and, in short, Of all virtues, civil
and military"

Elk Senator Foster, of Connecti-

whose worth consisted in her dress.
He took his betrothed to see his

BILE and modest way. The young
miss repressed her pride and feeling
until they had left the house, when
she Indignantly exclaimed, "Don't
you ever take me to see such coln-

quietly escorted her home, and left
her, never to return. Two years
afterwards, Mr.. Foster had risen to
the height of his profession and mar

A Poker Players Bluff in a Pair of
FOurs.

A Washington correspondent
writes: One night | was sitting by
the chair of player who was an
old acquaintance and Virginian.
1t was Il pretty high game, the chips
being tiyes, twenty fives and fifties.
At one stage OF the game somebody
got to raising before the draw, and
in a minute or two there was as
much as $1,000 on the board. When
the hands were helped, one man
took one card, another stood pat,
another took two cards, and so did
the party behind whose chair | was
sitting. They all bet before he did,
and the amount put up by each was,
ifI remember, $500 straight. When
it came to my friends turn he went
into his breast pocket, pulled out a
wallet, and fished thence certified
check or draft for $1,000. Going to
a desk, he wrote his name across
the back, resumed his seat, threw
the paper in the centre and said:
"Gentlemen, Eve been run out of
Virginia. | was once Il man of
wealth, but the war came and closed
me out. | settled up my business
the best [ could, and that certified
check for $4,000 represents not only
the fortune [ once had, but it is
every dollar [ have in the world
see that $500 the gentleman bet and
the balance of this check, $4,000"
The man who stood pat, as he turn
ed mp his cards and showed a big
flush, said, II lay down mine."
Another laid down a full; the next,
three aces. My friend raked in the
pile and then showed his hand. He
had pair of tours.

The election of seventeen Demo.

The election of seventeen Demo
Gratis to represent Charleston county
in the South Carolina Legislature
was triumph for the party not al.
together unexpected. The mere
fact of party triumph was not the
most gratifying feature OF the affair,
perhaps; though that is a fact that
the whole country can accept in the
belief that by it South Carolina has
made quite an advance in the com.
position of her legislative organiza-
ton. Bnt the quiet and order that
prevailed about the polls wonld
have been sufficient to inform those
familiar with past election scenes
that new and better era had been
inaugurated. There were no mobs
backed by the military to bully and
insult good citizens on the one hand;
and on the other there was mani
tested no disposition to prevent any
man, however humble or whatever
his color, from exercising his right
of SUFFRAGE unqnestioned and I'M
molested. The Radical element did
not look for victory. On the con
trary, it had tried to elbow its way
into nominal possession of political
place by nominating Democrats up
on its ticket, though almost all had
sense and patriotism enouh to repu-
date any such alliance. The sue
cessful ticket is fairly representa-
tive one, so far as can be judged at
this distance. The election of three
co'ored men is a recognition of the
race that does credit to those max
ing it, and puts at rest all assertions
that there is desire to deprive the
freedmen of any rights and priv
leges for which they may be fitted.

The consumption of coffee in this
country has nearly doubled in ten
years. In 1866 we imported 49,
100000 pounds, costing us twenty
and half millions of dollars. In
1876 we imported 339,SOO, 900
pounds, at cost Of nearly fifty
seven millions Of dollars. In the
same period the imports Of tea have
increased from 43,O00,0O0 to $4,000,
600 pounds. 1t thus appears that
we consume per capita about one
and one-third pounds of coffee every
year.

cottage pulled down over her head
by her landlord. Her name was
Mollie Mcguire, and she died of

themselves into secret band, and
vowed and took fierce revenge on
Irish landlords in general. The
band spread rapidly, and they
called themselves the 'sMolIie Ma.

brought the name to America.

The Spirit of Caste.
From the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American
1t is somewhat of surprise
to find any body in the United
States silly enough to suppose
that he can repeat socially the
political ostracism Of the Jews
in the medieval period. The
United States never adopted the
political policy of prescription
which prevailed in Austria until
1913 and in England even later,
and which is still the policy Of
Russia, especially in Poland.
Certainly for purity of morals
there is no people can claim su-
periority over the Hebrew. They
are not obtrusive or offensive,
and none need associate with
them unless he desires to do so.
They are very far from seeking
to associate with people who
have a prejudice against the
race which gave them moral
code and a religion. 1t smacks
of Eastern bigotry and narrow
mindedness. Yet it is not sur
prising that a people who de-
manded superior rights for the
negro over their own kindred
should laud the African with
one breath and gather his gar
ments up lest it should touch
the Hebrew at the next moment.
The same bigotry crops out
against the Catholics where it
is safe and nothing is lost by it.
The feeling exists of hostility,
guarded and concealed by self
interest, to all races and classes
which are not built on the mar
row prevailing creed in religion
and politics. 1t is continually
creeping out in New England
and the Northwest and other
parts of the North. It is a little
surprising to find it emanate in
this instance from an Eastern
metropolis, where men generally
become, from necessity, and
from continually walking
against other opinions, broader
in view and more liberal in SEN
timent. 1t would not have at
tempted but for a belief that a
prevailing bigotry could be
made a commercial advantage.
1t has been quite different in
the South. The Jews have here
been able to win their own way
without ever exciting any feel
ing of prejudice or bigotry.
They have entered society on
precisely similar terms with 9TH
er people. In Southern Georgia
and in many parts of South Car
olina they have long occupied
voice, position and Influence,
and some Of the oldest in those
States and most highly respect
ed are Jews. There was no big
otry to encounter, and there was
no shoddy class in society. 1t
is said that the shoddies at Sar-
atoga were not able to dress as
elegantly, or wear diamonds so
unequivocally real, or fabrics so
plainly the products of the finest
looms, and that in the ballroom
or the drawingroom the shoddy
could not vie in grace and cul-
ture with Hebrew visitors, and
this may have been a part of the
feeling upon which a hotel man
agement relied to sustain an
absurd order, SO contrary to the
spirit OF this country and of its
people.
