shipping for exportation.-t forty-four to
forty-seven cents per bushel for corn, and
the eighty-one to one dollar and seven cents
per bushel for eat,--that on those prices
they could not keep up the fertility Of their
land with purchased fertilizers, and pay off
their mortgages. This may sound very
strangely in the ears of those who have
heard so much of our national prosperity,
and the renewal of good times in consc-
quence of the large exports of agricultural
products; but there is not a farmer in New
England who will not understand it to be
real fact.
Now what do we learn to be the primary
result of this great sale of the corn and the
wheat that carries with il across the sea the
virgin fertility of the great West We are
told that our national and state bonds held
abroad are coming home to pay for this food
that Europe buys. We understand that al
ready only about s2OO,OOO,OOO of our ma
tional debt is held abroad, and that this will
all come home in two years, If the exporta-
ton of food continues at the present rate
This sounds very well to the superficial
hearer. But let plain but thoughtful
farmer say how it sounds to him. Two
years more of this depletion of the soil that
is the real national wealth, and then all the
bonds and other evidences of public indebt-
edness will be-where Will they be in
the hands of the farmers who have been
scalping their land in order to produce this
immense bulk of exported food No; they
will be in the hands of the rich men who al
ready hold mortgages on that land, out
of which those crops have extracted so much
of the fertility which constitutes their only
value and alone gives the farmers any hope
or power of paying their debts
aye friends to truth, We statesmen who survey
The rich mans joys increase the poor's decay,
'Tis yours to Judge how wide the limits stand
Between splendid and a happy landr
This whole movement of farm products,
in our judgment, will, if continued for any
great length of time, impoverish rather than
enrich the nation, while it will tend to &C.
cumulate the wealth that remains in the
hands of a few. Our cities may maintain
their splendor and increase their riches, but
the farming class will have sold their birth
right for mess of very poor pottage.
In another article we will try to explain
what we consider far better way of using
the products of the soil "a way that will
build up all classes; strengthen every part
of the Union; give the capital of the coun-
try not mere grab but a steady, if moder-
ate, growth; pay off the debts of the farm
ers give them home market for all they
raise ; and enable them to increase both
their net income and the fertility of their
| land.

AL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1878

that when the Indians had stationed them
selves according TO their ideas of rank they
were in plain view of the preparations and
precautions that Major Gladwin had effected.
After few of the highest chiefs and
some of the officers had pulled the pipe of
peace, Pontiac began his speech in the
course of which the grand catastrophe was
TO occur.
To say that every white man in the fort
was suppressing a furnace of excitement
would not convey the intensity of the hour.
Around the speakers waist was the wam-
pun belt designed to introduce the carnage.
while under many warriors blanket the
ill-concealed shapes and corners of weapons
were discernible.
But Pontiac and his band could not have
felt at ease in the circumstances The can
non had been uncovered and the gunners
stood by with burning fuses every soldier
was in position TO discharge his musket at a
seconds warning while the savages, en-
numbered with blankets and crowded TO-
gether, were placed at serious disadvantage.
The speech proceeded, and at the point
where the wampum was to be passed to
Major Gladwin as the signal for the fight,
each officer drew his sword each soldier
/ raised his gun TO his shoulder to fire, and
! 'utu RuInti ~ lilf thilnpn HleDItu lblWtlu
for his fearful duty.
But these movements showed the Indians
that they were detected.
Pontiac stammered and trembled, every
chief flinched and many exclaimed, and for
once these stoics of the forest were un.
nerved
But here Pontiacs consummate subtlety
came to his help. He neatly avoided the
concerted design, and closing his speech with
words of the warnest regard for the whites
gave way for Major Gladwin's reply.
And now the polite and kind.souled com.
mandant showed himself master of the situa
ton.
He directly and loudly charged Pontiac
with his treachery, and tainted him with
the crime and failure of his diaboical plot
And when the old chief denied, and pre-
tended there was no plot, and that his war
riors were actually unarmed as he hac
promised, Gladwin drew his sword and gal
lantly marching down the line of savages
pulled aside many of their blankets and re
vealed the shortened guns, tomahawks an,
scalping- knives.
At this the redskins confusion knew n,
bounds. But words are Inadequate to de
scribe the scene; the. reader must picture i
for himself
Just here appears the superiority in nobl
and human qualities of civilized man owe
the barbarian for instead of taking ava
their arms and imprisoning the whole band
or opening the great guns upon them, Ma
jor Gladwiu mercifully ordered them fror
the fort, though it must be acknowledge
that he did it with vehemence of words an
vigor of action that could not have bee
very hattering to the pride of pompous Ii
dian emperor like Pontiac Selected.

WE never knew farmer to take an axe or
a beetle and go round and break a wheel
here and knock brace there, and crack this
section and clip that one, among his farm
machines, Wagons and implements-tha is,
unless he was drunk But some of them
pretty good farmers, too, in most things, get
about the same results in roundabout way.
They store the moving machine in leaky
shed, where it is used as a turkey roost the
lighter instruments are slowed away where
thecattle knock them down and break them
the carriage and harness are kept where the
stable fumes spoil the varnish and gen
eral slipshod style knocks off fifty per cent
from the value of the farming equipment
The farmer who "keeps things ship-shape,
is generally the thriving man. "Down-at

frost of a mortgage over farm nearly as
