A Funny Memorandum.

A gentleman from the country was in the
city yesterday, having IN his possession .
curious memorandum, which, il is supposed
was written BY his wife. This is the way it
read:
Buy three yards Of calico and ten yards
OF bleacned domestic and then get drunk"
We have not found cut whether he fol-
lowed the advice rs given by his better half
or not; it is quite probable that he did,
however, as it is not every man that can
gain his wife's consent to get drunk.

sadly neglected by their parents. The
parents permit their of springs to roam

sound DOcfrIae.

Hon. J. H. Reagan, Chairman of the
Committee of Commerce in the House OF
Representatives, in his speech upon the
bill reported by him to regulate inter
State commerce and to prohibit extortlon
and discrimination by railroads and other
public carriers, lays down these funda-
mental and essential principles of free
and Just government:
l. That railroads receive their franchises
from the public for the public good as well
a, for the profit of the stockholders.
? That mouopolies and perpetuities are
cantrar, to the genius of free people, and
cannot be allowed or maintained in this
country.
That the political authority of this
country cannot, either In the States or Con
gress, create power, whether corporate or
otherwise, superior TO the power and author
ity of the people themselves; one which
may Cypress and wrong them without law
ful remedy and control; for all power Is in
herent In The people and all just and legal
government is Gesisn ned 10 promote the pub
lie welfare.
l. That railroad corporations are in an
i'm portant sense public corporations, and
are always recognized as quasi-public cor
porations-
This i so:
). Because they are created by the public
political authority to promote the public
good.
6. Because, for the purpose of their being,
they are clothed with the right of eminent
dDmain. And this cannot be conferred
under our constitutional form of govern
ment on private persons or for private uses,
Private property can only be taken for
public uses and upon just compensation.
Z. Railroad companies and others engaged
in the general transportation OF merchan-
die are carriers for hire.
5. They are engaged in public employ
ment affecting the public interest.
9. Hence they are subject 10 regulation
and control by the political authority.

ment inherent in every sovereignty as

monstrous the theory that any previous

WHEN tbs Mobile and Northwestern
Road was projected some years ago, our
people manifested deep concern in the
enterprise 1t contemplated making our
town the central point of road which
would penetrate the rich cotton region
of our State on the one hand and her
vast lumber region on the other; and be-
sides would furnish additional facilities
for the transportation of the products of
our State to the great markets Of tbs
North aud West. The noise over the
enterprise lulled with the exit Of some
Of It's original projectors from the State.
but bv a letter of the President of
the Road published in another col
umn, it will be seen that it fell
into the hands of parties who have not
slumbered nor have remained idle but
have worked unobtrusively as they have
worked effectively. Eight miles of the
road from the Northern terminus are in
working condition and seventeen miles
will be finished in the summer. It is in /
contemplation to bring the road to
Yazoo City, with Vaughan's, Canton or
. Jackson as the objective point.

- Model Georgia Farmer.

There is a small farm of fifty acres
near Townsville, Georgia, that is an
example of what thorough scientific cul-
tivation on a small area Of ground will
accomplish. 1t belongs to Col. r. H..
Hardaway. It's not plantation, but
something better-a model Georgia
farm. When the present owner came
into possession it was poor, yielding only
about eight bushels of corn per acre, now
it yields at the rate of sixty to seventy
bushels, its capacity having been in
creased eight-told by the system of cul-
tivation it has been subjected to. Last
year ten acres of it put in crops yielded
and three heavy bales of cotton, all at
the cost of nothing more than about 125
bushels of cotton seed per acre, reinforced
with compost made of stable manure,
ashes and cotton seed. This year five
acres have been planted in corn, five in
oats and FIVE in cotton. The corn is
planted In rows four feet apart and very
close IN the row, permitting it to be
plowed only one way. From present
it is estimated that it will
turn out sixty five bushels per acre
which the best Mississippi bottom lands
might not be ashamed Of The oats and
cotton look equally well, and it is proba-
BILE Col Hardaway will gather from his
little farm three times as much per acre
as the average yield of Georgia planta-
tons. The example of a number of
such farms scattered throughout the
South would be worth a great deal.

No ~PemiIemtiaI Plea.'s

Capt. W. H. Hardy. of Meridian, was
the orator at the unwilling of the Con-
federate monument at GAINESVILLE, Ala
bama. The following extract is taken
from the Meridian Mercury of his elo
quent and very appropriate address The
popular heart of the South will respond
to it,
Abiding to the soldiers who slept so well
beneath the mounds spread out before him.
Capt. Hardy denied that they were traitors
and rebels who needed to interpose the
penltential plea-quoting the language of
Mr.. Davis on recent oceasOn-that they
beliered they were right. He said he knew
they were right and they were right, and
showed it by hasty review of the section
al conflict from its incipieacy, tracing il uD
to the breaking out of the civil war, and in
the light of the principles of free govern
ment set up by the revolutionary fathers on
this continent, he clearly established the
conclusion that they died in defense of, and
for, the protection and perpetuation of the
constitutional liberties they had inherited.
