THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL.
oHARLEs g. LELAND.

Ny lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state
The sage thinks long on many a thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
Tie minstrel harpeth merrily;
The sailor plows the foaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without q fear;
But fall to each whate'er befsll,
The farmer, he must feed them all.
Smith hammering cheerily the sword,
Priest preacheth pure and holy word.
Dame Alice worketh embroidery we'll,
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell,
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer,
Dan Fisher fisheth in the mere,
And courtiers rufie, stout and shine,
While pages bring the 6ascon wine;
But fall to each wbate'er befAll,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castle far and high,
Whatever river runneth by.
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, be il here and there,
And well man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er befall
The farmer he must feed them all.

A Standing swindls.

A country at peace with all the
world with an ocean between IL and
any formidable power, ought not TO
be compelled TO pay forty 10 ffty
millions a year for the support OF q
standing army. 1t is an enormous
burden, and there should be states
manship. enough TO find means OF
tightening the load. Secretary Nc.
Crary's estimates for the next fiscal
year are something over forty mil
lions, and this is less than for many
years past. But this is q large per
centage Of all our revenues, and the
result of it all is twenty-five thou
sand enlisted men. Almost any
abe bodied citizen of the United
States can be put into the aeld on
shortest notice, 10 case OF insurrec-
tion or invasion. In every great
emergency the volunteers nave been
the country's reliance. This must
be so in all time 70 come. Why,
then, are we paying this vast
amount TO keep up skeleton armyf
1t is said that we need this force 20
keep few wild tribes OF Indians 10
subjection. The number Of Indians
who are likely TO require attention
from the military does not exceed
$4,000, including old men, women
and children.
We know these figures are small
er than those given by Indian
agents, but they are very close TO
the facts. II IL is 10 cost US S4O,-
100000 year for n military force
TO keep these savages down, In adj
dition 20 the many other millions
expended on them by the Indian
Bureau, we must devise some better
system. There is no example Of
such extravaganza In any country
on the globe. IL will be the duty
Of Congress TO scan Mr.. McCrary'g
estimates closely. More than six
teen hundred dollars 10 each enlist
ed man, when their pay is less than
two hundred each, IL showing
that may well alarm the country.

The fact that the Utes have been
supplied with arms and melted to
hostility against the whites is bold
ly charged against the Mormons
by General Merit, and if this
is so, it forms another strong
reason for vigorous measures
against the Mormons. They form
a hot-bed of treason and incestuous
dissipation in the heart of the con
tinent, a foul blot upon our fair
country. Nothing better than send
ing them to some South Sea island
will arrest their rnlfschief.-IRa Banner.

Courier Journal: We regret to
observe that the Northern Republi-
cans are encouraging the Lemars
Sentinel in its outrageous assaults
upon what it calls "the nigger voters
of the South" The course of that
stalwart sheet toward the colored
voters of the South is characterized
by the extreme of indecency and
villification, but it fully represents
Northern Republican sentiment on
the subject, which finds mo terms
too vile to express detestation of
colored voters who do not obey the
Republican mandate to vote the Re-
publican ticket The "nigger vo-
tiers" are beginning to comprehend
the hypocrisy of the Republican
leaders.

"An Angel in Woman's Form. I"

New Orleans Democrat: There
lives in New Orleans woman who
is known all over the city as "Mar-
garet." Sometimes she is called
"Sister Margaret" and at others
Mother Margaret" She is in plain
exterior, of irish birth, heavy frame
and weighs over two hundred
pounds. She dresses in plain cal
leo, and is frequently seen driving
her bakers cart, for she is the
founder and manager of one of the
largest and most prosperous bak-
cries in the city. Years ago she
was an attendant at the Female Or
phan Asylum, and through all the
epidemics Margaret was always
conspicuous for her devotion to the
little unfortunates, and prominent
in gathering funds and donations
to help the directors keep starvation
out of the portals of the asylum.
In time she determined to establish
a bakery, in order to enable her to
supply them with bread, and by her
masterly management she built up
a business that has enabled her to
sustain her life of devotion to the
orphans and to amass q considera-
ble competence for herself in her
old age. She must be now over
fifty years of age, and may. be daily
seen driving through the streets.
making her purchases OF -four, or at
early morn actually delivering bread
TO her customers, or sending it To
the asylums. In all the numerous
public charities, originating with
the ladies, every year she has inva
riably contributed her mite, some
times $50 and sometimes more,
without solicitation, and she does
not hesitate to visit the sick and
personally nurse them .or see that
they are properly attended. But
her last act of generosity to the or
phans of Gen. Hood-proportionate
to her fortune, we think, is the
largest charitable donation ever
given IN this country, and in COM
parison places her self-sacritices
alongside of Florence Nightingale
and far ahead of the Vanderbilts,
Stewards, and Astors of the North.
She recently sent Gen. Hoods chill

st. Louis Globe Democrat, Oct'r
9th, says: At Brooklyn the other
day a nephew of Prescott, the histo-
rian. suffered terrible and very re
markable death. He was q mao of
magnificent physical health, when a
dentist placed arsenic in one Of his
teeth to kill an aching nerve. The
poison attacked adjacent parts,
which rapidly decomposed under its
influence. The gangrene malig
nantly ate through one after anoth-
e- of the connections between the
head and the body. Hemorrhage
followed the severance of each
Most offensive pus was emitted in q
constantly increasing volume. or
course, life could not long be main
tanned against such q destructive
operation of the poison. In two
weeks the doomed man died, having
passed through excruciating tor
ture. There is serious lesson in
this sad death to all classes. No
matter what his business, q man
not thoroughly educated in medI-
cine should not apply active and
deadly poisons to any part Of the
human system. The people who
suffer themselves to be the subjects
of such operations at the hands of
parties who do not pretend to be
versed in medicine, are partly to
blame. Physicians, as a profes-
sion, are yet more at fault for not
warning the public against such
risks, and for not at least advising
the suppression Of those practices
which ilduce the risks.

Sun: An extensively advertised
Greenback meeting in st. Louis,
last week, resulted in the assem-
bling of 81 voters who were ready
and anxious to take upon them
selves the responsibility of running
the city, State and National govern
ments for an indefinite term of
years. Most, if not all of these pa
trlots were old political blisters who
had failed to get Office in the old
parties, and who were existing, per

The Kinsley (Kansas) Graphic
good humoretlly discusses on the
work of making a newspaper:
Editing a newspaper may, be just
the thing, but we know by a large
majority that it isn't. In the first
place your wealth does not accu-
mulate so fast but what you can be
your own business manager. Not
very many editors keep a carriage,
and those that do have it in their
wife's name. When your paper
comes out, about one half the peo-
pie in your town feel kindly toward
you for the position you took in
some local matter, and the Other
half won't speak to you. The party
that feels kindly towards you may
set up the cigars and hope you are
doing well, but the other side won't
even give you light. About twice
a month you have great difficulty
in explaining to a man as big again
as you are, that you meant just the
opposite of what you said about
him. But an old editor can always
do this. Young editors sometimes
get licked, but an old one can talk
a bull dog out Of countenance. The
experiences and troubles of an edi
tor is too big a subject for one issue
of country paper; but that they
have their share of torment while
here on earth, and that they will be
finally crowned in glory, we believe,
by large majority.

When we read that nearly all the
important railroad companies in
the Northwest have adopted spa
per" car-wheels, one is struck with
amazement. The idea of making
a wheel from material which, of all
others, would seemingly be the
most unfit, sounds like burlesque,
and yet practical experiment has
demonstrated that paper car wheels
are not only more durable but safer
than those made of iron.

Indifferent, fiocked upon him so fast
that he adopted the plan of stating
to each the amount or his legacy,
and the fact that he had hosts OF
applications, and the inquiry in
view OF all this, how much he ought
to be expected to give the appli-
cant. The amounts then applied
for he noted down, and promised
an answer in six months from the
time he got his legacy, At the end
of that period he added up the
amounts applied fer and found the
sum total thereof was 100000.

CIVIL SERVICE IN MISSOURI.

1t occurs to us that civil service order Mol
has become obsolete or has been rescinded
in Missouri. When the State Republican
time since the United States marshal and
district attorney of that State were exceed
inGly active in shaping the policy Of the
Republican party. When q resolution was
introduced declaring General GRANT the
choice of the Missouri Republicans it was
strongly opposed by the United States dis
trict attorney for the reason that General
GRANT might die; the time was too far
off; things might change; new issues might
arise; and further that the Uestliche Post,
Secretary ScHURzs paper would not sup
port him. Mr.. FII.LEY replied that the
Republican party never nominated q corpse
If General GRANT died his name would not
go before the convention for nomination. If
his name went before the convention he
would be unanimously nominated. The
committee was expressing its own and the
sentiment of the Missouri Republicans
to-day. He predicted that both BLAINE
and CoNKLING would give cordial and
earnest support to GRANT. That General
GRANT would get more Democratic votes
than any other Republican Mr.. FULLEY
claimed that seventy-fve per cent. of the
Germans OF st. Louis to-day were for GRANT.
The opposition of the WeStlicho Post offered
no objection, as it went of to Cleveland
against LINCOLN in 1864, was for GREELEY
and BROWN in 1872, and could not be re-
lied on. What was needed was the sup
port of the Republicans, and the Repub-
licans could unite upon GRANT as upon
no other man.
The resolution, after considerable discus
sion, was passed, aud thus the Republican
committee became pledged to the support
of General GRANT. The most peculiar fea-
ture of the occasion was the active interest
that Federal officials manifested in the de-
tail of party politics, and which gave graft
flying evidence that ciyil-seryice rules have
relaxed their controlling influence over
such citizens as hold Federal positions.

The perils of nn extra session of Congress
and a horse-race are about equal so some of
those Democratic Senators think who ad-
iourned the public business to enjoy the
sports of Pimlico. Going over, the special
car was full of hopes, expectations, and hi
larity, presenting u rare picture of that type
of happiness which is greatly enhanced un-
der the confident anticipation of winning,
which usually precedes the moment when
chance comes in to arbitrate the case. Every
body who had turned away from the duties
and responsibilities of craftsmanship to revel
in the beatitudes of race-course expected
to win, and hence the party were without
any spots on the disk of their sun of expec-
tation. In this frame of mind they went /;
they saw they bet their money on the bob
tailed horse they got cleaned out, aud
they returned to the dignifled theatre of
craftsmanship wiser, if not better
men. If all we hear is correct, Senator BECK,
who represents horse State, and who
prides himself OH the infallibility of his
judgment in horse-Aesh, found at Pimlico
that he had made rs great mistake in Sc
lecting his favorites ut horse-race rs in
choosing his part in politics as n Bourbon
He lost his money on the wrong horse, as he
is losing his caste rs politician and states
man by linking his fortunes with party
that has lost its future. Kcntucky's Sena-
tor returned from the races in q far differ
ent frame of mind from that which buoyed
up his heart and made him exuberant on
the subject of fleet horses and the like
when his face was set toward that Ken
lucky paradise which was opening in Mary
land He was not intoxicated with sue
cess. His pocket-book was not blooted /;
quite the contrary. Indeed, it looked
q little as if concrete roller
had passed over it. He was evil
IDENTIFY disconnected and unhappy; and
unless he was misunderstood lie muttered n
sOliloquy which indicated that he had lost
his confidence in extra sessions of Congress,
in caucus legislation, in horses and horse
racing, and indeed in almost everything re-
lating to this sublunary sphere, save blue
grass and horned cattle. 1t is intimated
that the Senator is dissatisfied with the
President for proclaiming an extra session
of Congress, and is a little cool toward the
Senator who moved the adjournment that
the enjoymcnts and chances of Pimlico
might be shared, and who struck the bulls
eye of fortune for himself in every stake,
when they were realized. This was griev-
Gus to the Kentuckian, who begins to Won
der if he is not altogether on the wrong
| side
