NEBRASKA is one of the most thriving of
our new western States, and the increase in
its population has within the last decade,
been something wonderful. In 1880 the pop
ulation of Nebraska was 4494 in 1860 it null
tiplied over six fold, being 2s,sl1 in the ten
years ending 1870 the increase was four-fold,
the population then being l22, 1898 in the
following six years it more than Dubbed, be-
ing, in 1876, 2j7, ~. In 1877 the popula-
ton was 271, SCI in 1873, BIB, IS4, and by
census taken for the year ending March 81,
1879, we find the population to be $50, 40,
or an increase of ZIG per cent in nine years
The corn crop of the State this year is fully
equal in quantity and quality to that of last
year, which was the finest and largest ever
grown. There is an increased acreage under
wheat the present year over last year of about
20 per cent, and the quality of the cereal is
claimed to be from 20 to 80 per cent above
that of last year. The gross yield of all
grains last year was about 90 900, 600 bushels
This year it is estimated that it will exceed

sale of all kinds of farm Implements wagons,
buggies and threshing machines, Also does

AGRICULTURE NORTH AND SOUTH-THE Ex-
oDUs.-A feature of the forthcoming report
of the commissioner of agriculture is a chap
ter ON the rates of wages on farms Through
out the country with the exception of a few
remote western states and territories, the av-
erage monthly rate of pay for farm laborers
declined, during the year ending last April,
from three to fifteen per cent. At the same
time, the expense of living in the majority of
states declined in equal or greater proportion.
1t appears that our New England farm labor
ers receive, when working on yearly engag-
ments, without board, twenty dollars and
thirty-one cents per month on the average, a
decline of ten per cent. since the beginning of
the year. The cost of living has fallen thir-
teen per cent. In the cotton states (and
comparison here becomes Interestingly labor
ers average fourteen dollars and eighty cents
per month, and, generally, the negro laborer
is housed free, and is allowed to cut what fire.
wood he requires The statement made by
our special correspondent, that the negro Ia
borers of the cotton states were nearly as
well paid as our northern agricultural labor
ers, is borne out by the commissioners report.
We think that another fact will soon be made
apparent, viz, that the principal cause of the
recent exodus was the negroes uneasiness re-
garding his deprivation of political rights,
and natural apprehension of relapse into
some form of serfdom. If the negro's citi-
zenship could be properly protected in the
South, and his freedom from extortions in
sured by direction of public sentiment
against plundering traders and greedy plant
ers, there would be final end of all talk
about another exodus. The abolition of the
credit system in the South, and the universal
adoption of the wage system as practiced ON
the sugar plantations, would do much to rem
der the negro a dSntented man.-Boston

ALFRED TENNYsoN. Tuesday, the 18th inst.
completed seventy years Of life for the Eng
lish poet-laureate. The third son of a clergy
man in the established church, he was born
under the roof of parsonage in Somerby,
Lincolnshire, August 1, 1909, receiving his
early EDUCATION from his father, and complet-
ing his studies at Trinity College, Cambridge
While yet boy he published q volume Of
poems in conjunction with his brother Charles,
and this was followed during his college career
by a prize poem. He gave no other indica-
tions than these of what his future was to be
until 1880, when he published volume of
poems chiefly lyrical in character. In 1922
he published another volume. Ten years
later, in 1912, he began to attract marked at
tention, coming into prominence in the lite
rary world by means of two Volumes con-
tanning the poems he had already published,
together with seven newer and more import
ant compositions. The merit of such poems
as the Mort d Arthur "Locksley Hall, "
and the May Queen" could not pass unrecog-
nized, and their author was given a front po-
sition among the poets of the time ''The
Princess was published in 1877, and "In
Memoriam" appeared anonymously in 1880
The latter poem was received with great favor,
and the poets popularity increased to such a
degree that on the death of Wordsworth in
1851, he succeeded him as poet-laureate
Since then he has been n voluminous writer,
and has given to the world, in addition to his
many commemorative poems, several of the
finest poetical compositions in the English
language, notable among which are "The
Idylls of the King published in 1858 ;
"Enoch Arden, in 1864; The Holy Grail, -
in 1869, and his dramatic poems of recent
years. Mr.. Tennyson is as well known in
America by his writings as he is in England,
and in popular estimation holds place with
Longfellow, Whittier and Bryant the two for
mer of whom are about two years his senior in
