Those Of our people who read the

Of Delegates had passed u bill creating
some new system Of County Court for old

passage by the Legislature ofthe proposed
amendment to the constitution abolishing
the present expensive aud inefficient
County Court system, but SO far as 1haye
been able to learn public opinion Of the
system proposed In tliespecial bill for this
county, land l have taken great pains to
consult with both Democrats and Repub.

the present system until the proposed
amendment gives us back substantially
our good old system embodied in the
Code Of 1868. 5EE

we find the average price Of potatoes to b.
5S.s cents per bushel. With a crop almost
identical with that Of 1870, We have a
price much lower per busllel, and a total
value OF 100000 less than that year.
With a crop some 40, 600 less than last
year the total value does not equal that OF

man, who led the caucus eight to put
the party in the position Of demanding
the repeal Of the federal election laws, Is
much blamed, Mr.. Nordhoff says the
bummers Of tie Democratic party, The iel.
lows who seek offices and to further Jobs,
are responsible for the effort thus to com.
pei an extra session Of Congress. The
present Congress has been guilty Of har-
boring few jobs, and they desire to get an
early session Of the new Congress contain
ing new men. But the responsibility Of
the party, including the Southern mem
bers, will repudiate the caucus action and
not seek to browbeat a repeal Of those
election guards which the country is by
no means ready to sec taken down. Mean.
time 1t must be recognized that Thurman
las lost ground and Bayard has gained in
the esteem Of the country. How Thur.
man came to advocate so blindly a "re.
evolutionary" scheme is by no means clear.
He did not consult other prominent Sena.

his caucus speech surprised his friends,
and his leadership is openly repudiatod.

Wise Alaxims.

Mr.. John McDonough, the New Or
leans millionaire, has engraved on his tomb
a series OF maxims, which he had prescri-
bed as the rules for his guidance through
life, and to which his success was mainly at
tributable: Remember always that labor
is one of the conditions of our existence.
Time is gold: throw not one minute away,
but place each one to account. Do unto
all men as YOU would be done by Never
covet what is not your own. Never think
any matter so triflIng as not to deserve no.
tice. Never give out that which does not
first come in Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate the transac-
tons of your life. Study in the course of
life TO do the greatest amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary to
your comfort, but live in an honorable SIM
plicity and frugalrty. Labor, then, TO the
last moment Of your exis ence."

Don't worry about Yourself.

To retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety concerning
disease. The mind has power over the
body-for person to think he has a di-
sease will often produce that disease. This
we see effected when the mind is intensely
concentrated upon the disease of another
We have seen person seasick, in anticipa
ton of voyage, before reaching vessel.
We have known people to die of cancer in
the stomach, when they had no cancer in
the stomach or any other mortal disease.
A blindfolded man, slightly pierced in the
arm. has tainted and died from believing
he was bleeding to death. Therefore per-
sons should have their minds diverted as
much as possible from themselves. Its by
their faith that men are saved, and it is by
their faith that they die. As man think
eth, SO is he. If he wills not to die, he can
often live in spite of disease; and, if he has
little or no attachment to life. he will slip
away as easily as child will fall asleep.
Men lives by their minds as well as by their
bodies. Their bodies have no life of them
selves; hey are only receptacles of life
tenements for their minds, the will has
much to do in continuing the physical oc-
cupancy or giving it up.

CORN.


Individually the best working the corn
crop gets is that given before ii is planted.
The better the condition of the land at the
start the easier the disqualification and
the more profitable the return. The crop
demands and deserves the best treatment.
the best land and the best manurss at your
command. 1t is truly said of it that it is
''the sheet-anchor of American Turning"
Large crops pay better, too, than small
ones, in comparison of cost. While corn
is largely potash plant, it requires also
abundant supplies OF almost all the inor-
ganic elements, combined in the food of
plants. Available mineral supplies must,
therefore, be present in some abundance to
supply the phosphoric acid, soda, lime
and other ingredients essential TO its COM
pleie growth and maturity. Good bara-
yard manure and rich composts are equal
ly serviceable and the crop is one taking
grosser food than the other more dainty ce-
reals. The seed, the distance Of planting,
whether in hills or drills, vary in each To-
cality; heavier applications of fertilizing
materials being required when close plant
ing is adopted. Drill culture is growing in
favor, the product being larger. and the
ease and facility of working greatly increas-
ed by the newly improved machines for
planting.
For manuriDg in the hill mixture of
five bushels-one of salt, one of plaster,
and one of fine bone-dust-is admirable to
give the plant start.

There are certain disagreeable people in
this world who seem to take special de-
light in annoying others by reminding them
of things they would willingly forget.
They are human thorns, forever torturing
their fellow-men for the sake of torture.
Has a man met with misfortune in his busi-
ness, they are forever recalling the fact.
Has a man in times that are gone wander
cd into devious paths. they are forever re-
minding him of it, often by congratulating
him that that is past. Has man blunder-
ed, they are forever telling him what Knight
have been.'. When the Thorn is of mas
culine gender, there is one way of getting
relief He can be knocked down and
taught manners. When the Thorn is of
the feminine gender, the case is different
and not so easily disposed of. But Caus-
eur hears OF one such scourge in petticoats
who got her deserts the other evening. 1t
was little party, where some score fpeo-
pie were gathered together. The Thorn
sat near young man who, in days gone by,
had been guilty of follies that cost him
dearly. He had put them all behind him.
But the Thorn took occasion to recall them,
in subdued and confidential tone The
victim, who been subjected to the same
torture before, spoke up so all could hear:
Madam" he said, ''for FIVE years l have
been trying to forget all that. You have
been trying to rememberit. You have sue
ceeded better than l. congratulate you"
The Thorn subsided.-Boston Transcript.
