OUR Columbus letter, printed this
morning, informs US that the Ohio Leg
islsture quietly sat down on the Bellsire
Tobacco Warehouse appropriation, and
suggests that it may yet root out the
warehouse itself. That sounds to US
rather singular. Now that the ware
house has been erected at the expense Of
the State, it would seem but proper that
it should have fair trial before abolish
ing it.

Peer RIch Peepls.

We have many Of this sort Of people
in this State. We have many in thIs
State who ere land poor, and many
who are cotton poor. The land poor
are to be found In every community in
every county In the State. They oWD
more land than they can or do cultivate
to advantage. They are thus kept poor
paying taxes, and providing for the
other necessary OutlAys. We know
land. owners who hold vast bodies Of
land and pay taxes on It that would be
absolutely. independent IL one-tenth Of
the lands on which they pay taxes was
properly developed and titled. They
are actually poor because they own 90
much lAnd. There must be some
change in this respect In the South be-
fore there can be any very great pros.
periiy. The Tupelo Journal, in allud-
ing 10 The comparative value Of lands
In this State and In Kentucky, refers 10
the great difference in The selling price
oflands Of equal intrinsic value, and is
uuable to account for 1t. Weapprshend
that II is to be accounted for in two
wsyP. Kentucky and other States
farther North are better developed than
Mississippi, and the land is divided, as
a general rule, into smaller tracts.
These tracts are highly titled, not
scratched, as is too often the case in
this State. The crops are more diver
sifed, and the State 10 developed by
railways running in almost every di-
rectiOn. In this State the ground is
scratched year after year for cotton,
and the people make 80 much Of II
that they are cotton poor. We know
people living on tho finest lands in the
world who are poor because they have
no easy and cheap means Of reaching
market, and because they make go
much cotton. We know others resid.
ing on the poorest pine lands Of this
State, who are thriving and prosperous,
because they have a railway running
past their doors, and because they raise

the MArooners have taken hold Of the

that you do not con6ne your lab0rs 10

not only reimburse you for any outlay,
but will furnish the means for conlin.

has been secured.
So far as the shad are concerned. !
hope It will not be long before = con-
signment will be made. 1t will hardly
be necessary to provide specially for
any service, excepting so far as you
may wish 10 introduce them into wa.
ters not accessible by rail. In that
event, should the distance be not more
than ten or twelve miles over q good
road, IL may be practicable to carry the
fish. AS the fsh will be accompanied
by 0 messenger who will not leave
them until they have been deposited, It
will hardly be necessary Tor you to
trouble yourself In regard to their treat.
ment. The young shad would not be
greatly distressed by being subjected
to the influence OF slightly muddy
water. The rule is, II possible, to in.
troduce them at night In the middle of
The river, so that, by morning, they can
find proper places.
So far 90 the salmon are concerned,
your better plan will be TO arrange for
Matching establishment, and for the
visit 10 your region of an expert, who
shall superintend its construction and
take charge Of the eggs until hatched.
This might require his presence for
three months. After that, some intel
ligent attendant, with the instruction
he might receive during that time,
would be able TO perform the work In
the future, | will, however, submit
your letter to Mr.. Livingston Stone and
ask him TO suggest plan Of operations.
