novels, which did more than any anti-slave-

been translated into ten foreign languages
and OF which Lord Palmerston said, ]. /

The Late Ebon G. lngersoll
Letter 10 the Boston journal.

MIR. Ingersoll's death is subject of gen.
eral regret. He was burly hearty gentle
man, quick witsed, fond of repartee, and
genial table companion. But he was es-
,pecialiy beloved in his own home circle. A
lady friend says that the last time she saw
HIM there his knees, shoulders and arms
were covered with little children--as many
as he could gather about hirn-and he was
telling them the story of Red Riding Hood
and the wolf, his face as grave and his man
ner as absorbed as If he were making a
speech in Congress, and they hung breath
less on his words; presently one lutte one,
overcome with the wickedness Of the wolf,
put up her baby lip and began TO cry. In
stantly be turned the tragedy into farce BY
emptyiDg pocketful Of bon-bons over the
group and scrambling with them for the
sweeties. Then be ran races--alWays los
ing, of course-with the little one who had
cried, the stakes being more bon -bons, ,un-
til she fairly screamed with glee.

Thoughts On Breeding Horses.

We often hear it said that it does not pay
for farmers to raise this or that breed OF
horses. but this is true only in limited
sense. The best always pays. The best
specimens OF any strain or style OF horses

ones of all breeds are drugs npon the mar

PASSING AWAY.

One by one the representative men
Of this age and country are entering
the silent city. Jacob Abbott, famed
in literary circles, died last week.
Gen. Joe Hooker is also no more.
His military fame is imperishable and
interviewer with the memories of the
late civil revolution.
Zach Chandler, one Of the leaders
in the Republican party, died last
Tuesday night in Chicago. The man
tie of Oliver p. Morton rested upon
his shoulders. He was too bitter a
partizan to be statesman. He led
the advanced line of stalwarts in a
crusade against the South. His faults
were traceable to an ardent and strong
nature but were soltcncd by many vir-
tues.
We are TO prone to judge Of the per
sonal worth of a great man through
the distorted vision of politics. But in
the presence of the grave, we are bid
den to hush the voice Of hate and re-
count the goodness that marked the
life of him that sleepeth. Hlsnaanum
est c, rare.

MEMPHIS.

We are gratified to see evidences Of
active business revival in Memphis.
Geographically, it is intermediate be-
tween the Lakes and the Gulf, and is
in a latitude South of the ice barriers
of the North, which seriously interfere
with continuous commercial traffic.
IL confronts, though, serious future
fear, in that yellow fever may have a
lurking place in its midst. Local
sanitation is the paramount need Of
Memphis. The skill and capital of
the corporation and nation should be
freely contribu el to free Memphis
from the scourge Of fever in the future
and thereby place her upon her feet as
an important business emporium. The
state should allow the city to use for
sanitary purposes the State tax it pays.
Let this exemption continue until the
city is thoroughly cleansed. The indi-
vidual and public interests. of the
whole Valley region demand that
Memphis be delivered from the clutches
of the yellow monster.

4 Successful Year,

The year 1879 will pass into Amer
i1an history as year Of W, IL lerful
agricultural prosperity. The cotton
crop is larger by half a million bales
Than ever before, the tobacco crop
$4,000, 900 pounds greater; and the
sugar crop exceeds by some 100000
h, IS reads all previous yields. These
ere crops which belong almost eXclu-
sively to the southern half Of the re-
public. In behalf Of the Northora
States the excess of products this year
over the clop of any previous year is,
according TO the Chicago Journal of
Commerce, 10000, 900 bushels OF
wheat and from S0,000,0 600 to 100,-
100000 bushels Of corn. The hog
crop also is larger this year than for a
number of years past-if it be not tie

The Chinese Must Go.

San Francisco Post.l
The State vote on Chinese immiera-
ton (154, 638 against $3.50 should for
ever settle the question as to the wiz h
Of this commonwealth upon that point.
Eastern journalists and correspon-
dents viii hardly venture to say that
this vote was cast under compuIsion.
1t was perfectly free and unbiased,
and as such it carries enormous
weight. In all this great State only
S83 persons could be found to declare
by their ballots that they were in ia
vor Of Chinese immigration, and of
these, several hundred propably cast
their votes for it as a practical joke.
This is very well known to most citi-
zens of San Francisco. Let us have
an end, therefore, of the charge that
only hoodlums and sandlotters are OPP
posed to the Chinese. The vote cast
last September declares emphadcally
that "the Chinese must go.

GOOD ADVICE.
To Young Men who are Afraid of Work
Themselves TO Death.

Burl ington Hawkeye.
And then remember my son, you
have to work. Whether you handle
a pick or pen, wheelbarrow or Il set
Of books, digging bitches or editing
a paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must work
If you will look around you, son, you
will see that the men who are most
able to live the rest of their days with
out work are the men who work the
hardest. Don't be afraid Of killing
yourself with overwork, son. Its be-
yond your power to do that. Men
cannot work 50 hard as that on the
sunny side of thirty.
They die sometimes, but its because
they quit work at g p. m. and don't 90
home until a. IN. Its the intervals
that kill, my son. The work gives
you an appetite for your meals, it lends
solidity to your slumbers, it gives a
perfect and grateful appreciation of a
holiday. There are young men VINO
do not work. my son, young men who
make a living by sucking the end of a
cane, whose entire mental develop
ment is sufficient to tell them which
side Of a stamp to lick, young men who
can tie a necktie in eleven different
knots and never lay wrinkle in iU,and
then would get in West Hill street
car to go to Chicago; who can spend
more money ina day than you an
earn in month, son, and WHO Will go
to the sheritl7s to buy postal card, and
apply at the office Of the street com
missioner for a marriage license. But
the world is not proudOf them, son. 1t
does not know their names even it
simply speaks Of them as Soanso's
bows. Nobody likes them, nobody
hates them; the great busy world
doesn't even know they are there, and
ut the great day Of resurrection, If
they do not appear at the sound Of the
trumpet and they certainly viii not
unless somebody tells them what it is
for and what to do, 1 don't think
Gabriel will miss them or notice their
absence, and they will not be sent for
or disturbed Things Will 90 on just
as well without them. So find out
what YOU want to be and to do, son,
and take off your coat and make a
dust in the world. The buster YOU
are the less deviltry you are apt to get
into, the sweetcr Will be your sleep, the
brighter and happier your holidays,
and the better satisfied the world will
be with you.

The Coming European War.

Kentucky Live Stock Reeord.l
There is every indication of great
war in Europe, and that not far dis
tant. 1t is to be between the German
Empire and Austria against Russia if
it arises. At the present time, if we
judge by the attitude of every govern
ment in Europe but Spain and Switz-
erland, a war is inevitable by the
spring Of 1880. Navies are increased,
ornaments increased, and armies en-
larged by great levies of men. What
interest America may have in this war
if it comes will be apparent to every
one. 1t means II great demand for
wheat, all the products Of the hog,
picked pork, bacon. hams, etc, Of live
cattle, salt and fresh beef, and live
sheep and mutton. These we may in
a year increase, especially hogs and
sheep, largely But beef will come
more slowly. Horses will b.in great de
mand, and will come to useful age
much more slowly than cattle.
Now, on probability Of a great war
in Europe and ASIA, our farmers
should husband the cattle and horses
of the country. There is no sufficient
supply of horses in France, Italy, Ger
many and England. If the war be
general, these powers will have full
three million infantry in the field, and
one million calvary. Russia has pro-
hibited the export Of horses to Ger
many and Austria, and Germany toex-
on the scale that everything indicates
the demand on America for horses and
mules viii be tenfold Of her power to
supply, and both, fitted for war purpo-
ses, will command prices never before
known. Let our farmers avail them
selves of this opportunity.
