The DEBORAH Republican says that
Rev. Mr.. Swearingen could have the
Winnesheik delegation in the Republi-
can Congressional Convention, if he
would permit the use of his name, but
that he tells his friends that he is not
favorably inclined to the idea of a down
ward step into Congress. This being
the case it would be nothing less than
discourteous to insist upon his taking
the Office and we have no doubt that
upon proper presentation OF the facts,
the convention will respect his scruple
and make choice of some other man.

hall, fifteen feet Of it projecting upon
the stage. 1t is the largest and most
complete instrument of the kind in
America, and the world at present con-
tains but two larger organs. Albert
Hall, London, has the largest organ in
the world, having III stops and 1879
pipes. The second largest is in the St.
Sulpice Catheral, Paris. 1t has 100
stops and 1854 pipes The Cincinnati
organ has four manuels and a pedal,
containing 81 sounding stops, IA me-
chanical registers, II pedal movements,
6,287 pipes and carlton of 30 bells. 1t
has 1853 more pipes than the Boston Or
gan. The wind power is furnished by
five motors, each three-horse power,
propelled by hydraulic pressure. There
is one motor to each bellows, and all
five of the motors are under the control
Of the organist, who can use one or the
whole five at his pleasure. The pres
sure of water is equal to fifty pounds to
the square inch, and in case the water
supply should be by accident cut off I'M
expectedly, it would require the services
of twenty men to pump the organ.
When the organ motors are in operation
it requires constant supply of 500 gal
Ions of water per minute. The organ is
so feet wide, 80 feet deep and 65 feet
high, supported by twelve solid brick
columns. The largest pipe in the organ
is 80 feet long, and large enough for two
men to pass each other in it without
squeezing. The smallest pipe is of
an inch long. The screen Of the organ
is fifty feet wide and 45 feet high, made
up of panels or sections of cherry wood,
most tastefully carved. No two panels
are alike in design, and the entire screen
will be an endless source of pleasure to
those who look at it. Nearly all of the
wood carving on this beautiful screen is
the work of the ladies Of Cincinnati.
So much for the building and its con-
tents. But great building, or an organ,
either, will not make a festival The
great feature of this festival was it's
chorus. Thanks to the German element
in the population OF Cincinnati, music
has more devotees here, and Of higher
grade of culture, than can be found in
any other city in America. These share
the public spirit of our more wealthy
citizens, and they have given their time
and talent to the festival freely and un-
stintedly, and the result has been a cho-
rus of seven hundred voices, that have
rendered the greatest classical music in
a manner that has won the highest en-
comiums of praise from the ablest wri-
ters in the land. Cincinnati was not
alone in furnishing this chorus. The
musical societies Of Dayton, Springfield,
Columbus, Urbana, Hamilton, and doz
ems of other adjacent towns, contributed

EVENING SHADE, March 4th.

EDITOR RECORD: [ take pleas
ure in writing you a few lines
in the interest of the farmers Of
our county, which youmay pub
ish if you think it would be Of
interest to them. Now, Sharp
county is the most ill-shaped
Of all the counties on the North
American continent. Look at the
maps. Well, the farmer is the
source of all wealth, everywhere.
There are several farmers clubs
in our county, and q majority
of the members, no doubt,
would like to assemble together
at least once q year, at some
convenient place, for the pur-
pose Of exhibiting the commodi-
ties they raise, as well as their
different kinds Of stock, horses,
cattle, sheep, poultry, &C.; also,
those who guide the shuttle and
direct the loom, or i'll other
words the women, would like to
place their domestic articles up
on exhibition at an annual
county fair-suCh as knitting,
quilting, stitching, sc. Then
why is it that some Of our lead
ing farmers do not give notice
to the farmers Of the county
generally, as well as all others
Of the county, for a meeting at
some suitable point-say Eve
ming Shade, Ash Flat, Or Jones'
X Roads, on Big Creek-for the
purpose Of discussing the pro
priety of organizing a county
fair? Jones' X Roads is the
most convenient place, because
it is nearer the center of the
county, and in q good settle
ment, where wood and water
abound in righteousness, beside,
there is a beautiful landscape
there to camp upon, for those
who desire to camp out. The
surface of the earth thereabOuts
is level. There we could have
a nice fair ground, with bat lit
trouble; there we could exhibit
everything, from the ring-tailed
pup to the fastest horse-and |
venture to say that Sharp county
has some Of tie fastest trotters
in Northern Arkansas.
"Old Nick" alone knows just
where the center of Sharp county
is. It is as pointed from the
center in all directions as the
hair on an Indian dog. One
would think, to look at it on the
iiiap, that it was not laid out
economically for people to live
In or immigrate to, for the reason
that should q man get five miles
from home he would not know

For the FARMER AND MECHANIC.
What has Been Done in North
Carolina.

Your valuable paper is weekly
telling the world "what can be
done in North Carolina" but, by
permission, l propose to tell "what
has been done Guilford, by indus
try, skill and practical farming.
Without consultation with the
gentleman whose name l shall use
and | here beg his pardon for bring
ing him before the public-I desire
to State a few facts for the benefit
of the credulous.
About twenty years ago an aged
German, with three girls and one
boy, settled within four miles Of
Greensboro, upon what was pro
verbally the poorest tract OF land
in the country. 1t was overgrown
with sassafras and broom-sedge, and
was considered good for nothing
except a place to move from. Three
families had tried to live upon 1T
within the recollection of the writer,
and each had become dlsheartened
and "gone west" The neighbors
laughed at my old Dutch friend
Garyis when he paid $3.50 for the
one hundred acres, and predicted
he, too, would soon be going to-
ward the setting sun.
This land had been under Guilt
Walton (if such farming Is worthy
of the expression) since the Reyo-
lutionary war; and if it ever had a
soilit was before your correspondent
became acquainted with it. The
subsoil, however, was clay of reddest
kind and our Teutonic friend said
he "knew sum-dings as well as
odder folks" Having no other
means Of support he went to work
making manurs-thanks to high

To meet tins want, tlc Board Dc
termined to procure the establish

tirely disconnected with politics.
and exclusively devoted to the s.c

the columns Of which their labols
could be made known to the farm
