THREE PROFITABLE PRO.
 DUCTS.

The olloying article is taken from the St. Louis Price Current and Trade Journal. We are not advised as to the adaptibility of our soil to 1 the productisn of either of these i'm portant articles of trade. It may be that some of our readers have had some experience with some of them, and perhaps they will favor us with the result thereof. Who can res pond? It strikes us that the quanti- ty of goods made of these products consumed in the South, would justi- 1 fy making them an Item in our agri- culture. The immense quantities of bagging shipped here might perhaps be produced at home with some prof it to the producer and consumer also Who can tell us how hemp and jute do in Arkansas?
 Notwithstanding the fact that we produce each year very respectable crops of hemp, iute and flax, it yet remains to be told that the United States import annually $50,000,000 worth of these products from other lands. This is very large sum of money to send out of the country each year, for articles that can be produced in almost unlimited quan- titles in the Western and Southern States, and surely they demand much more attention at the hands of our agriculturists than they are receiving. Improved processes are steadily diminishing the cost of har- vesting, preparing and manufactur- | ing. The Northwestern Flax Socie- ty report the average value of the crop per acre to be $27.0S. showing that this is profitable crop to raise. The value of the hemp crop thls year is likely to be greatly enhanced on account of the Russio Turkish war, and Russian hemp as we have previously stated, has largely advan- ced, and some holders East are now demanding for it $500 per ton. For, merly large quantities of hemp were raised in Missouri, but since the war it's cultivation has been aban- doned. Considerable quantities are grown, howevever, in Illinois, Indi- ana and Kentucky, notably in the latter State, where it is still raised in large quantities, cultivated with care, and is a source of good deal of profit. Hemp of a very superior quality could be grown in Minnesota to which soil in some parts of the State it would seem to be indigenous. While hemp and jute could be profit ably grown in the more northern states, the southern states are the best adapted to the growth of jute, and it can be raised without much trouble There are areas in Texas where the cultivation of jnte could be made very profitable, and very fine quality could be produced. The country needs a revival of these branches of agrlculture, and instead of spending SO much money to i'm port these articles they ought to be grown in sufficient quantities to sup ply our home wants, and of quality equal to the imported article.

LIGHT BEGINNING TO DAWN

The following document gwen to the public in the Daily Gazette oi the 26th inst, in connection with another letter from Maj. Jno. D. Adams on the bond question, will be of considerable interest to our read CTS. It is, it seems to us, a rather extraordinary document, and the revelation made does not savor of any good to the State. Have Messrs. Adams and Redfield suppianted the Finance Board of the State. of Ar kansas? Or, do they simply think the Finance Board incapable of at tending to the financial affairs of the State? This all looks like there was wheel within wheel some how or other. Here Finance Boards and Legislatures of the State are spoken of as mere puppets subject to the manipulation of negotiators and bond holders. Here Railroad Aid Bonds which have been killed dead as Hector by a decision of the Su- preme Court of Arkansas, are spoken of as though they were valid paper, and are to be made liability of the State to the tune of nineteen cents on the dollar. Levee Bonds also which have never been worth any thing but a nominal market quota tion are to be saddled off on the State at nineteen cents on the dollar. We venture to say that there are not ten men in the State who could have been elected to the Legislature at the last election as advocates of this plan. Without further com ment at present, we give the queer paper:
 THE CONTRACT.
 The following is the contract be- tween John D. Adams and J. E. Redfeld:
 For and in consideration of one dollar to us in hand paid, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and for other valuable considerations hereinafter mentioned, we the under signed holders of bonds of several issues of the State of Arkansas, and J. k. Redfeld, of Essex, Connecticut, hereby agree as follows:
 The holders of said bonds agree to deposit all bonds held by them, as hereto subscribed, of the several issues of Arkansas State bonds, known respectively as the "Old Bonds, unfunded," "Funded Debt Bonds,' "Railroad Aid Bonds" and "Levee Bonds," with "rhe National Bank of the State of New York;" to be delivered 10 said Adams and Redfeld, or their authorized agents, in exchange for new bonds of said State of Arkansas having thirty years to run; the interest on said bonds to be as follows: For the first year at the rate of two per cent. per annum, for the second year, at the rate of three per cent. per annum for the third year, at the rate of four per cent. per annum, and thereafter at the rate of SIX per cent. per an mum. The first semi. annnal coupon of said bonds to be payable on the 1st of July, 1878, and the payment of the interest on said bonds to be secured by provisions similar to those now made by law for securing the payment of the interest on the "Loughborough" Bonds. Said new bonds to be received in exchange for the ve-montioned present issues of bonds at the following rates; For "Old Bonds, unfunded," and Funded Debt Bonds" except

Dear Lord, while many happy heart
CLOVIS with Thanksgying's joy tonight,
And glad, unbroken families
Are gathered round the tircsidc bright,
While songs Of praise ascend from those
Who thy full haryests stand amid;
| thank Thee for the ripened grain
Within the heavenly storehousc hid
/ thank Thee for the long, long years,
Safe shut within the pcarly gate,
Ny darling has been kept for me,
And still | stand without and wait.
| thank Thee for the memory
OF every loving word and tone
or voice, that never failed to take
4 tendercr cadence for his own
thank Thee that the golden streets
BY the dear, faithful feet are pressed;
| thank the that the aching head
Is pillOwed on the SayiOr's breast
thank Thee that the loving heart
Has done with earth born JOY and pain;
thank thee that no bitter tears
Shall ever dim those eyes again.
thank Thee for the blow that left
The spirit bruised, the household manned
| thank Thee for the love that lent,
thank Thee for the love that claimed
thank Thee that each passing year
But brings me nearer To my home
Where. with the Spirit and the Bride,
He waits me with the whispered Come"

TuANKsGIvING-DAY.

Hail. hail Thansgiying-day!F tEE GEE
Welcome to saints and sinners
Welcome to all, both great and small,
Thou day Of royal dinners!
See how they come from far and near,
A troop of ''carpet-baggcrs,"
To grace the board with one accord,
And appettcs like daggers.
Who cares for Turkish war abroad:
Who cares for serf or CZary
Or Turkey lies before our eyes;
Come and attack-hurrah,
With knife and fork we win the day,
A truce 10 care and sorrow
Eat while we may, Thanksgiying-day
VIII fade before tomorrow.
We're thankful for host of things
Too numerous too mention;
For sweethearts true and hearts TO WOO
And all things worth attention.
For all and everything that gives
Our lives so much of pleasure
We offer thanks. Long may we taste
Thine overlooking measure!
Then hail, hail, Thanksgiving-day.
Thou day of royal dinners!
Nor will we care If the grim nightmare
Should fright the soul within us
When day is done. Let Turkeys ghost,
With the nuts and buildings and wine,
In the dead of night begin their flight,
Stlll-victory is thine.
