Tho development Of tho IMMORAL and agri~
cultural wealth o! tho Southern States must
be materially retarded so long as tho press of
that section languishcs for tho lack Of readers
throughout tho ontiro population. And this
reminds us that mino owners in tho same
section occasionally nsk us why we do
not give more prominence to tho mineral
wealth OF tho Southsrn States, which is un-
qucstionably largo and IN inviting field for
tho Investment Of capital. Our answer is
Chat tho local press in eroat part fail to give
us material information upon tho subject and
as yet we have failed to attract correspondence

Speculation.

Since the creation, 1T is est1matel
that $4,000, ,000, ,000,0 100000 have lived
on tho earth. This sum divided by
27,S64 900, tho number of square miles,
gives ,3l4 ,5l2,0S6 to square rod, and
8 to q square foot. Suppose square
rod be divided into II graves, each
grave would contain 100 persons. But
this is speculation, and of no benefit to
the ,000, ,O00, 900 people that now exist,
100000 Of whom are invalids, 49,
100000 dying each year. What they

a young lady, we'll known In fash
ionable circles Of Edinburgh, was ac-
custOmcd to use her eyc-glass III the
street in a way that often bordcrcd o.
i.npertinence. One day she received a
singing rcbuke, which made her drop
the impudent habit. While walking
in the street with several other fash
fonable ladies, she met a country clcr-
gyman of emincncc and keen wit, but
ungainly in appearance and rough in
attire. Putting her glass to the eye,
She watched him very intently.
The clergyman was quite equal to
the emergency. Walking directly to
her, he took her hand and said:
"My dear Marie, how DO you do :
How are your worthy father and ven.
cradle mother? and when did you come
to town."
Overwhelmed with surprise, she said
with some alarm, "Yol are mistaken,
sir !"
"What! is 1t possiblc," he replied
"that you do not know nle?"
''lndccd, do not. sir?"
Neither do YOU" said the minis
ter. Good morning, madam"
Makinga Il ccremonious bow, he walk
ed away, while her companions laugh
ed at the bold girl for the rebuff she
had received. Her eye-glass was never
used again to quiz strangers.

SWINE AS INSECT DEsrRoYERs -
Swine are well known dcstroycrs of
the white grubs which infcst meadows
and other lands. AS this insect, the
hrva of the May beetle. lives in the
land until the third sea3on before, it
transforms, 1t often does great damage
to crops. We have seen the grass roots
OF meadows SO completely eaten Off
from one to two inches under the sur
face, that the sod could be rolled up
like IL scroll. SO also, hogs eagerly
search for Il variety of insect life of
which they arc fond. Pigs also are
said to hunt for the nests of field mice
ana ucVour the young. 1t has been
thought by some German farmers that
the late plague Of mice in Germany may
be attributed to the practice now prcva-
lent there, of kccpirg swine entirely
pcnncd up, instead of allowing them as
heretofore their liberty in tic fields.
Certain it is, that not only in the fields
but in our orchards swine may become
great helps in the destruction OF not
only Vermin, but many noXious insects.

PORK differs from beef and mutton,

without argument. Ifa branch dead

this manner great Inconvenience, and,

MINISTERS frequently revert with n
kind of sneer TO tho poor diction, the
harsh language, the inclegant sentences,
the want Of nice construction in the edi>
torials Of newspapers, and deplore that
they are inculcatng in the minds of the
young false literary taste. A minister
works one day IN the week. An editor
works six or seven. The one gets ore
idea a week and hammers it out and
adorns it and puts frills on it until it
makes a sermon of one hour. The other
must have five. six, dozen or twenty
ideas a day, and must wake up the next
morning to have as many more. There
is no time for him to ponder the round Of
a period, to erase q harsh word and sub
slitute n softer, tn read over manuscript
three or four times, and shorten here or
amplify there. The Lord waits six days
on the minister the devil "growls if
he has to wait five minutes on the editor
Yet the men who write their one idea a
week have not the advantage OF those
who work and think and write so much
more. The editorials of the Pacific Slope
will compare more than favorably with
the sermons, hastily written though the
former he. There is more originality, more
thought displayed in weeks issue of II
good California paper than in two dozen
sermons preached on Sunday, and those
who attend church and who read the dai.
Is papers will bear us out in the assertion.

C. Gentlemen of the jury, have you

+. mo, sir we have been laboring
hard upon this question now for about
fifteen hours without coming TO an agree
ment and in the minds of the jury it is
impossible for us ever TO agree and we
see no necessity Of laboring any further,
and ask to be excused"
G. This is the second trial of this

ZACH. CHANDLER MU2DERED.-Th
following is Brick Pomeroy's account Of
United States Senator Chandler's death I:
As the truth comes out, it appears that
Zachariah Chandler was killed or muir
dered, and this by his friends, or those
who professed to be his friends, but who
were in reality his enemies. Since out
on the campaigns, he has met men who
importuned him to drink various kinds
of liquors. AS they insisted, he partooN
till his system became more than full Of
alcoholic poison. In Chicago, he was
filled so full that The night of his death,
instead OF disrobing and quietly seeking
rest and relaxation, he threw himself full
ly dressed upon bed, in reality much
the worse for liquor, and died in this con-
dition. So it is that Hon. Zach. Chand
Ter WAS in reality murdered, not by
friends, because they never ask a man to
make beast of himself or to rob his life
of its strength, but by those who are CON
tinually importuring n man to drink,
drink, drink, until he is drunk, drunk,
drunk. 1t was not work that killed this
man of great brain power. He died from
the effects Of liquor, and his death can be
laid at the door of every man who asked
him to drink. These professed friends
are The real murderefs OF Zach Chandler.
80 has passed away one of the great po-
litica generals of that Republican party
which has professed SO much morality
temperance and godlness-murdered by
his enemies Tho led themselves friends.
