This is what is fald by some of the pa
pers about John Shermen:
Dayton Journal: "John Sherman
bOOms"
Indianapolis News: "If John Sherman
isn't careful he'll run the risk of becom-
ing popular"
Philadelphia Telegraph: Gould find
no stronger candidate than the present
Secretary of the Treasury"
Boston Advertiser: Before that time
comes the present Secretary may be in a
much more responsible station"
New York Evening Post: There is
at the head of the Treasury a man who
has turned these conditions to the best
possible account for the public good"
Boston correspondent Hartford Cour-
ant: "John Sherman is the man who
ought to be the next President. He is
the ablest statesman developed in any
party in Amerca since the war"

.. S. Senator Whyte, of Maryland, de-
clines reelection, and says he may re-
sign before the expiration of his term,
in 1881.
The New York Senate, by a vote of
II to 10, adopted a concurrent resOlu-
ton rendering the courtesies of the
State to General Grant upon his return.
The First Comptroller of the Treas
ury has decided that the State of Geor-
gia is entitled to be reimbursed for
$4,000 expenses incurred in the Greek
and Seminole war;
The story is told of an Iowa man that
he has been married four times, and has
all four of his mothers-in-law living
with him in one house. The story is
incredible. So brave man as it i'm
plies never lived.
THE Children's Home Fair at Cincin-
natl yielded twenty thousand dollars as
the net proceeds. The Gazette says the
concentrated beauty of the Ohio women
was its greatest attraction, and that no
other city in the country could furnish
so many handsome women.

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
The Fault Lies with Greedy
Landowners and StOre.kcepers.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
The great majority of the colored men
who have already passed through this
city, on their way to Kansas, have here
tofore worked ON cotton plantations.
Each head of a family rents from five to
thirty acres from the owner of the plan
tation. For the cotton land he pays $40
per acre rent, and for the corn land from
S. to 81 per acre. An acre of cotton
will yield from three-quarters of bale
to bale and half. For ginning, the
colored man pays the planter who owns
the gin 80 per bale, doing all the work
and finding the bagging in which the
ginned cotton is baled. If the owner of
the gin does the work and finds the bag
ging, the charge is 81 per bale. The corn
land yields from forty to fifty bushels of
corn per acre, worth from 20 to 35 cents
per bushel.
The credit system obtains very gener-
ally throughout the cotton region, and
the storekeepers make advances of goods
on the growing crops, charging the most
unreasonable prices for very inferior
goods. During the winter which has
just closed, pork, in the neighborhood OF
Greenville, Miss, was sold to the colored
people at from $1s to $50 per barrel
Here, the same quality was sold for less
than half that price. Last summer and
autumn the eolored people were charged
1922 per barrel for meat that could be
bought in st. Louis, and delivered al
river points, in all the States south OF
Missouri, for SO per barrel. All the 9th.
er necessaries of life have been furnish.
ed at the same outrageous advances on
their legitimate prices, and invariably
the negroes have come out in debt at
the end of the year.
The fault lies with the greedy land
owners and extortionate store-keepers
The land for which the negro laborers
have been compelled to pay $40 per acre
rent would not sell for that amount in
many cases. Some of the most product
i've cotton land in the South would not
bring $25 per acre if put on the market
to-day. OF course, the land is really
worth more, but its value is deprecated
because neither owners or tenants, who
are obnoxious to the Southern whites,

Fun ON the Farm.

We often hear the remark, 'How dull
farming must be!'' or. "Who would live
in the country. where are no opportunities
for frn:' Well. then. # you want to know
what genuine fun is. just pitch in and help
break pair of three -year-old steers. First.
you catch a steer and tie him by the head
to a post in the barn-yartl. Then you
catch the other one and puta rope round his
horns. Then your dad gets the yoke. and
between you two and the hired man you
get it fastened on their necks. Then the
old man tells you to unite the rope gently,
while he and the hired man hold the crit
ters. Just as you slip the knot. away 90
the steers with a bawl and bellOw-or rath-
er pair OF bellOws-and there arises be-
fore yonr vision a--confilsed mixture of
horns. heels, tails. ropes. dad. hired man.
and cries on your stupidity. tat reminds
You Of the picture of a volcanic eruption
in the old biographies. And that is only
the beginning Of the fun! By-and-by dad
gets hold of one rope. and the hired man
hold of the other. and run races down the
lane-the steers ''neck and neck" and the
old man performing the curse on the ser
pent. Then there is time in haying,
when dad undertakes to show you how to
