in the compromise of the legislature OF 1871.
The propositions were two, namely, forfeiture
and the DeGraf 4 Co.'S claims. The great
point made was the forfeiture, which had the
endorsement of ex-Gov. Davis and other emf
nent lawyers. The Western company was not
altogether identical with the Northern PACING,
although the latter might eventually acquire
the formers line Much of it's capital was held
in this State, and the stock is variously scat
tered.
Mr. Sanborn said the Western was the result
of the Legislature Of 1877, and commended that
company's interest should be named in the ap-
peal clause of the Rice bill, to which, he under
stood, there was no objection. Mr.. Sanborn
then materially reiterated his speech reported
in yesterdays GLOBE.
The committee then adjourned without &C
ton, after Senator Nelson had expressed his in
tention to be heard, along with Senator Page,
before the Senate committee of the whole.

Running n Muck,

Major McNair, in his new book on the
Malays, says that probably few persons are
aware of the extent to which the practice
called running muck" really Obtains
Raiah Mansur, one of the sons of Yusuf, the
present ruler of Perak, during strange fit
Of excitement, drew his kris and rushed off,
striking right and left, killing six and Sc
verely wounding two persons, and finally
making his escapes into the jungle. He
was only twenty years old. On occasions
of this kind the "amok" may be the cause
of death or severe injury to twenty or thir-
ty people before he is literally hunted down
and destroyed like mad dog. The Ma

Major McNair gives a terrible descrip,
tion of the scene when the cry of "Amok

armed with q huge, short-pronged pitch
fork, to catch the mailman by the throat
and pin him to a wall, where he is driven
to bay. Generally speaking, the amoll is
killed by the crowd ofhis pursuers, though
occasionally, as in the case of the son of
Sultan Yusuf, he escapes to the Jungle
Very few are brought to trial. Major Nc
Nair does not believe that the amok is a
result of opium eating, but holds it to have
had its origin in the deed of some desper-
ate Malay, to have been handed down by
tradition to his highly sensitive successors,
and since then regarded as the right thing
by those who are excited to frenzy by APP
prehension, or some injury that they regard
as deadly, and to be washed out in blood"

What Agriculture Does.

An exchange says: Without agriculture
there is no wealth. Gold and silver are not
wealth-they are its convenient representa-
tives commerce produces no weath-it
simply exchanges it; manufacture, and the
arts combine it. Agriculture is the prolific
mother of wealth-the rest simply handle
it when produced and delivered into their
hands.
The earth breeds savages. Agriculture
breeds enlightened nations; it breeds houses
and ships, temples and seminaries; it breeds
the mandatory sculpture, painting and
music are its offspring. The wheels of the
work shops, the sails of commerce, the i'm
plements of science, the pen of genius, the

the statesman. the equipages of wealth, the
banqueting of pleasure-all that renders
earth in its tides of life anything but
great sepulchre. move and have power of
being, because the fields yield their fruits to
the patient toll of the husbandman.
We might manage to live without mer-
chants, without mariners, without orators,
without poets; perhaps we might possibly
survive the loss of demagogues-buts sure
am we could not without plowmen.
The state of husbandry in any country is
the best test of its enlightenment. The Their

Don't be Discouraged.

1t is practice among many farmers, who
in one season have prodigious yield of a
staple crop, or fail in their efforts to get q
paying one, to become discouraged and
sow little or none of that seed the ensuing
year. This course being followed 10y
great many Others who find that wheat,
rye, corn or potatoes last year were over
abundant and sold at very low price,
diminish the breadth of these crops the en-
suing year, and then live to see that some
what of scarcity increases the price be-
yond the ordinary range, and show how
much they have lost by their want of
thought and courage. Neither an over
yield or partial shortness of any particu-
lar crop should influence onein diminishing
or increasing the breadth of land sown, un-
less the reasons for it are unmistakable.-
We have witnessed many of these results
and the same is the case in almost any kind
of business, even mercantile; but we have
seldom or never known the faint hearted to
patiently submit to failure or partial fail.
ure, in the hope and almost certain fact that
subsequent success would far more than
cover any temporary loss.
These results are seen as often in the po-
tato, the wool, and the hop crops as in any
other, and have entailed great loss upon cul-
tivators, who rot looking the thing in the
face as they should do, are frightened and
the following year refrain from going into
the growing of these crops to any extent,
but which they find, when the next season
closes, that they command two prices of the
year before, and sometimes as it relates to
hops, three or four prices.
The best plan, therefore, is to go on with
the regular crops raised upon the farm, and
if there should not be success and de-
mard for all of Them there will be of some
of them, and hence the average may be sat

The Z dMcatiOn Of Manners.

Taking all into account, while freely
admitting the superiority ofmodern teach
ers from books, we yet regard them as only
partial educators. Now and then, even the
sight of children brought up in the old
system, WIIIClI PuV I-l..- - Ct. - I,o
cause it is system, but that the tastes of
the mother lean that way, awakens tend
er, though blind, regret for the relations of
lessons to the days work. For still there
are children who accept their lessons as
tasks to be learnt, without much consider
ing the future use they are to be put to
whose keener interests are for what they
see and hear whose minds are present to
the scenes around them; who respond
with dutiful alacrity to the training of
manners who are obedient to rule, cour-
teous, friendly, h0spitable to stranger in
their small innocent way; who greet with
smile of welcome company, and brighten
under it; who watch their mothers eye and
obey her behests, and so doing catch her
grace of air and movement. These are
children, whatever their literary attain
menta, who will grow into gentle, refining
influences; who will perpetuate good ira
ditions, and maintain the charms as well
as the virtues of family life And, more
over, whatever their store of exact knowl
edge they will have dction and facility
of expression which, perhaps, will more
than stand comparison with others deeper
read, but less practiced in social inter
course. 1t all comes to this: On the one
hand, children cannot learn manners with
out being trained to them. On the other,
it is equally certain that want of thorough
ness in early teaching is defect scarcely
to be got over in after-lifc, and often bit
terly resented as well as regretted by the
sufferer Saturday Re0ieao.

A flock of well grown turkeys make such
an agreeable addition to the receipts of the
farm, and they are often raised with so little
trouble, that wonder at the seeming in
difference of so many farmers with refer
ence to them. The rules for breeding are
simple and easily understood, and failures
are due to two prominent causes-one, the
weather, which in some seasons puts at
fault the utmost possible care; the other
a not ana ary seaso.. 49,
essential for success with turkeys. This is
so important that it is of little use to be in
haste to get turkeys Matched early, as we
may do with chickens though old birds
are tough enough, young ones are exceed
ingly tender. If brought out by the first
of June, it will, in most cases, be early
enough. Even if they live thro' such chill
ly and damp weather as is common in Nav,
they will not grow much until hot weather
and bugs come to their relief but, let them
hatch out in June, in weather which drives
the breeder to the shade, and little turkeys
just enjoy it; they will stretch themselves
in the sun and "lay off" with every token
of delight. Damp, chilly weather is their
ruin; rain abomination; morning dew
poison sure to blight the hopes of mex
perienced or careless breeders. TURKEYS
must be allowed to range very freely to in
sure success, but not while the grass is wet
that is, during the first two months or
so of their lives. After that, one need not
be quite so particular.
Early turkeys not being advisable, the
first litter of eggs from hen may be reserv-
ed for common hen in May, and the turkey
hen be invited to lay second litter, which
she will do if broken up. think the ear
liest turkeys do better in any case with a
common hen, as she roams less and the
chicks become more tractable, and the
females from among them make more man
ageable mothers for next year.-RuraI

A Young Lady's Objections to Matrimony.
A CONTRAST BETWEEN LIFE BEFORE AND

They were seated together, side by side,
on the sofa, in the most approved lover
fashion-his arm encircling her taper waist

"Lizzie," he said, "you must have read

dearly love YOU"
"Yes, Fred you have certainly been
very attentive" said Lizzie.
"But, Lizzie, darling, do you love me I?
Will you be my wife ?"
"Your wife, Fred ! OF all things, no !
No, indeed, nor any one else's."
"Lizzie, what do you mean ?"

"Certainly and Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs.

"Look here, Fred; I've had over twenty.

at the idea of Lizzies seighing with her

"How many do you think my sisters

sionally, as we'll as a lecture or concert
sometimes, and shouldn't like it if pro-
posed attending any such entertainment to
be invariably told that times were hard
and my husband couldn't afford it, and
then to have him sneak off alone"
"LiZzie, LiZZie-"
"And then, if once in dogs age he did
condescend to 20 with me anywhere in the
evening, | shouldn't like to be left to pick
my way along the slippery places, at the
risk of breaking my neck, he walking along
unconsciously by my side. Pm Of de-
pendent, clinging nature, and | need the

"Lizzie, this is all nonsense"
"Im the youngest in our family, and
perhaps I've been spoiled. At all events |
know it would break my heart to have my
husband vent all the ill-temper which he
conceals from the world on my detenseless
head"
"But, Lizzie, promise you that ~
"Oh yes, Fred; know what you are
going to say that you will be different ;
but May and Nell have told me time and
again that no better husbands than theirs
ever lived; no, Fred; as a lover, you are
just perfect, and l shall hate awfully TO
give you up. Still, if you are bent on
marrying, there are plenty of girls who
have not married sisters, or who are not
wise enough to profit by their example, if
they have. And don't fret about me, for
I've no doubt l can find some one to fill
your place"
But before Lizzie had concluded Fred
made for the door, muttering something
''unmentionable to ears polite"
"There !" exclaimed Lizzie, as the door
closed with a bang. 81 knew he was no
better than the rest. That's precisely the
way John and Aleck swear, and slam doors,

make perfect bear of husband, but I'm
sorry he came to the point so soon, for he
was just a splendid beau"

Memory.

There is Sea by whose dim shore
We fondly pause while, to gaze
On wrecks of pleasure, now no more,
The traces sad of "by-gone.d days.
That Sea is Memoryl Oft its ways
Roll dark and chill above the spot
Where, resting in their silent graves,
Lie those who were but now are not.
There is q Star whose brightness CLEANS
Above the cold and voiceless tomb,
The radiance of whose lovely beams
May pierce that dark and shadowy gloom.
That Star is Memory! Oft that light
Hath cheered life's dark and lonely way,
And sorrows path has grown more bright
Beneath its sweet and hallowed ray.
There is Strain whose music filings
The sound of sadness on the ear,
And tones of seraph sweetness brings
Like angel notes so soft, so clear;
So sadness comes ofttimes to pay
Its mournful homage at thy shrine
That Strain is thine, too, Memory!
Oh all that's sad and sweet are thine.

Personal Appearance of Jesus Christ.

The following is said to be q correct
translation of letter written by Publius
Lentulus, President of Judea, and sent by
him to the Senate of Rome, when the fame
of Jesus began to spread abroad in the
world. These were his words:
"There lives at this time in Judea man
of singular virtue, whose name is Jesus
Christ, whom the barbarians esteem a
prophet, but his followers adore him as
the offspring of the immortal God. He
calls back the dead from their graves, and
heals all sorts of diseases with word or
touch He is tall and well shaped ; of an
amiable, reverend aspect. His lair is of a
color that can hardly be matched, falling
| into graceful curls below his ears, and very
agreeably touching on his shoulders, part
| ed on the crown Of the head, like the
| Nazarite.
"His forehead is smooth and large his
cheeks without other spot, save that of a
| lovely red his nose and mouth formed
with exquisite symmetry ; his beard thick,
| and of a color suitable to the hair of his
head, reaching an inch below his chin and
parting in the middle like fork his eyes
| bright, clear and serene. He rebukes with
majesty, counsels with mildness, his whole
| address, whether in word or deed being
elegant and grave. No man has seen him
laugh, but he has wept frequently. He is
very temperate, modest and wise; man,
| for his excellent beauty and divine perfec-
ton, surprising the children ofmen."
