Good Cultivation Pays.

' Hllty FHTutT.I
A good soil rarely fails, even in q poor
season, OF returning paying income for the
labor expended upon il in the cultivation of
any crop adapted to it. The idea that the
number of acres in crops indicates the farm
er's income must be abandoned, and the
number of bushels per acre must be looked
for instead. There is certainly less profit in
blowing so acres. to raise 1000 bushels of
grain, than in blowing but 25 to grow the
same amount, aud trusting to good seasons
for fair crops will not be thought of by the
improved farmer. A rich, well cultivated
soil will usually make fair returns in what
we call bad or unfayorable seasons. What
the farmer on poor soil would call good
season seldom comes.

Butler on Fraudulent Voting.

General Butler spoke at Westfeld on Sat

feature in his speech was the following pass

of four or five men for voting wrongfully-

JOHN SHERMAN is still permitting the
people of the United States to sell wheat to
Europe for cash. for which the people ought
to feel profoundly grateful. Farmers
throughout the West, knowing that John
has given them bountiful crops for several
years past, are disposed to trust him again,
and are sowing large crops of wheat. Some
OF them want ohm to give them rainbow

Two coIoRED men arrived from Indiana to
day, who left their homes in North Carolina a
short time ago, en- route for Kansas, whittier
they were sent by community of 200 of their
race TO examine the country, and, IL possible,
secure settlement in some locality where
they could obtain employment. The two men
say that when they reached Indiana they re-
ceived such tempting offers from several par
ties to furnish work 10 the entire number that
they concluded to accept. They are now re-
turning to North Carolina to bring their peo-
pie to their future domicfles. The men, who
are unusually intelligent, think that Indiana
offers many advantages to colored emigrants,
and IL those who are about to settle there
thrive and prospe. as they probably will,

North and south Carolina will surely follow

resolving the fields that were drilled early
in September. They say that they find the
Hessian fly in great profusion. but what
nonplusses them Is that the wheat is dead
and dying, an effect that has not heretofore
resulted at this season from the presence OF
the fly. 1t is serious thing to contemplate,

and the farmers are 10th to do it.

light upon Republican morals and methods

A man who is not ashamed of himself
need not be ashamed of his early condi
ton. 1t did happen to me to be born in
a log cabin, raised among the snowdrifts
of New Hampshire at a period so early
that when the smoke first rose from its
rude chimney and curled over the frozen
hill there was no similar evidence of a
white mans habitation between it and the
settlements on the rivers of Canada. Its
remains still exist; make it an annual
visit. I carry my children to 1t to teach
them the hardships endured by the gen
erations which have gone before them.
I love to dwell on the tender reccllec.
tons, the kindred ties, the carly affec.
tons, and the variations and incidents
which mingle with all known of this
primitive family abode. ] weep to think
that none of those who inhabited it are
nowsamong the living; and If ever I fail
| in affectionate veneration for him who
raised it and defended it Against savage
violence and destruction, cherished all
the domestic virtues beneath it's roof, and
through the fire and blood of seven years
revolutionary war shrunk from no toll
no sacrifice to serve his country, and te
raise his children to condition better
than his own, may my name and thu
name of my posterity be blotted forever
