Turning Farmers.

There seems to be rush this year to
the farms. Time was when the young men
in the country packed up and made for the
city, having as their object the construction
of colossal fortune in a few years. Now,
however, things are reversing and the tide
begins to ebb. In the state of Minnesota,
the quantity of land sold this year is thirty
two and half times as great as the sales Of
last year. Government and railroad lands
are being eagerly taken up, and westward
the star of empire takes its way. This is as
it should be. The cities, with few excep-
tons, are Observation-Disclosures are thousands
upon thousands of men out of employment
in New York, and the same may be said of
all the large cities. And it is not the labor
ers who are the chief sufferers. The book
keepers, the salesman, the young lawyers
and doctors, the followers of the thousand
and one eight professions are willing and
glad to take employment at any price, and
on any terms. But the country is never
crowded. The broad acres want occupants,
and to them must the great army of unem-
ployed turn their faces. There is work,
and plenty OF it, in the West, and also on
the old and abandoned farms in the New
England states, if those who want work will
only go to it,

The Potter FIascO,

The Potter investigation grows staler day
by day. Friday, Dennis, of Florida, under
took to give evidence on both sides, and sue
ceeded in making it evident that the votes,
which he now claims were fraudulent, were
claimed by him as genuine when the count
was made. correspondent says; The
straightforward, clear and emphatic testi-
mony of Governor Noyes to-day completely
broke down the Florida case as recited in
the Potter resolution. lie was corroborated
on all essentials by General Wallace of
Indiana, and General Little, late attorney
general Of Ohio, who were with Noyes in
Florida. The high character of all these
witnesses and the perfect frankness of their
replies made very strong and favorable i'm
pressions. There was nothing that brought
home anything Of questionable character
connected with affairs in Florida either to
these gentlemen or to the President. In
brief there is nothing worth considering
left of the Florida case as the democrats
presented it in the first sensational an
nouncements. A subcommittee has been
detailed To visit Louisiana, and it is signifi-
cant that Butler prefers to remain in Wash
ington, notwithstanding his desire to throw
mud at the Louisiana commission. He APP

he is supposed to have held pleasant and

Death Of Queen Mercedes.


The announcement of the death of the
Queen of Spain was received with profound
sorrow, not only in all Europe, but through
out the civilized world. Unlike most royal
marriages, that of Alfonso with Mercedes,
his cousin, was a genuine love affair. This
courtship is said to have lasted for ten years,
while Mercedes WAS still at school, and the
first telephone introduced in Spain, one of
Bells instruments, was between the palace
Of the King ard that Of the Duke de Mont
pensier, the father of his betrothed, for the
benefit of the royal lovers. The marriage
was celebrated on the 23d of last January
with great ceremony, and with general re-
ioicing throughout the kingdom. 1t was
regarded as especially suspicious because 1t
bound Montpensier, who had himself been
an aspirant to the throne, TO the fortunes Of
Alfonso, and in this way did much to tran
quilize the stormy politics of Spain. The
Queen was of most lovely character, and as
beautiful in person as in life. She was OF
good size, well formed, of very fair complex
ion, with soft hazel eyes and long, dark
lashes She was not an industrious student,
but had charming disposition which won
for her the affection of her schoolmates.
Alfonso from childhood had called her his
little wife" and to obtain an opportunity for
a declaration he ran away with her in state
carriage, after bribing the coachman. In
less than five months after her marriage her
bright young life has ended. She died
graspng her disconsolate husband with one
hand, while with the other she held a cruel
fix, and with her lips was repeating prayer.
In this union the French and Spanish
lines coalesced, and the entire peninsula and
the outside world at large regarded the mar
riage with satisfaction and gave the happy
couple their blessing. There was once more
promise that the Court of Madrid would be
redeemed from the stigma of former profit
gacy and that permanent constitutional
monarchy would be guaranteed to Spain.
The unusual rejoicing which commemorated
the event was supplemented the other day
by celebrating the return of peace in Cuba.
And now, just as the future seemed bright
with promise, death enters the imperial pal
ace and bears away its best beloved occu-
pant. 1t is an affection in which the be-
reaved King will have universal sympathy,
and which Spain will deeply deplore.

An Incident.

Seldom have we read anything more elo-
quent and beautiful than scene in the re-
cent Southern General Conference Of the
Methodist church, at which two delegates
were received from the African Methodist
church. An eyewitness says that each Of
these delegates made remarkable speeches,
but one of them, johnson by name, said
" Brethren, there happened in that ante-room
just now circumstance shall never forget.
You remember that David in the cave Of
Adullam sighed for water from the well of
Bethlehem, and that three young men, at
the peril Of their lives, brought the longed-
for water, which David would not, after all,
drink, since it had been procured at the
peril OF life. lie therefore poured out the
water as a libation before the Lord" Said
the speaker, When entered this room
was fevered, and, Ike David, onged for
water A gentleman took goblet to serve
me; during his absence | learned that he
was the Governor of Georgia. Realizing
the chasm between us thought of David,
and taking the goblet from his hand ]
begged that might pour out the water as
libation forever between his race and
mine" Well might the correspondent add /;
"We never saw house more stricken,
thrilled and melted by speech from any
human orator"
