institute the custom OF an annual thanks
giving, was by John Jay, who, at the be
ginning Of his administration as gov
ernor Of Now York, issued procla-
nation recommending such an obser-
vance. His political opponents, appeal
ing to religious preiudices, de-
feated his purpose. Governor De Witt
Clinton, however, during his administra-
tion, renewed the attempt, and since that
period the custom has always prevailed in
that state. There was a very curious
Thanksgiving from an early day in the
towns Of Southampton and Easthampton,
on Long Island. Montauk Point, some
5000 acres Of pasturage, owned in COM
mon by those towns, was also pastured in
common, the vote of the towns fixing the
time for putting the cattle in and taking
them out of the pasture. The Thursday
after taking home their cattle was always
observed as ThanksgivinG.D Day and when
Governor Jay issued his proclamation the
Southamptonites and Easthamptonites
were intensely scandalized in his having
fixed upon a different day than that upon
which they were that year to celebrate.
They accused him of a design upon their
sacred festival.
During the early history of New York
as state, many of the New England
families were accustomed to observe the
day that was fixed as Thanksgiving in
Connecticut, and the book of common
prayer ratified in 1889 making the first
of NOvember-unless another
day is designated" to be observed as a
day of thanksgiving to Almighty God for
the fruits of the earth. and all other bless
ing of His merciful providence" many
of the state besides those of the
Episcopal church were won't to join in the
observance of that day. As used before
the Revolution, the English church service
marked November ), as an occasion of
annual public thanksgiving, in commem-

FERTILIZERS FOR THR COTTON
CROP,

Planters who have not prepared the
proper compost for their cotton crops will
do we'll to return the cotton stalks to the
ground in stead of burning them when this
is at all practicable. An excellent compost
to follow the ploughing under ofstalks is
said by those who have tried il to s1e COM
posed of cotton seed, stable manure and a
little lime. then layer of manure, and SO
on. Wet each layer with water, stir it up
thoroughly and let lie under shelter until
time to plant it in the row. To prevent
the escape of ammonia cover the pile with
layec of earth or gypsum.
Mississippi cultivator, in the Sena-
tobia Express, advises, when compost
has not been previously prepared, that
twenty bushels of cotton seed, two four
horse loads of manure and twenty bushels
of wood ashes be applied to the acre.. His
plan is to have the rows about four feet
wide; in the ay-off burrows, distinctly
made, apply the manure as evenly distrib
uted as possible and list on it with the same
plough that made the first furrow. Next
open this list with a deep furrow and
throw the two burrows back, just as it was
done at first, the object being to thorough
ly incorporate the soil and fertilizers in or
der to pervent shedding in case of drought.
On this list finish out the bed with a turn
plough. Plant as early as the season will
justify.
The New Orleans ZameS, commenting
on the golden harvest now reaping by the
cotton-seed oil factories of the South,
claims that the advantage thus gained is
greatly over-balanced by the loss of
cheap and powerful fertilizer. If all the
surplus:c cotton seed that are annually man
ufactured into oil were placed upon the
worm-out uplands, the yield of cotton
would be almost doubled, and sterileIfelds
now, thrown out as worthless could be rem
dered reasonably productive. In the face
of this fact the sale of cotton seed in
creases annually and every year the lands
thus robbed grow poorer.
Analysis of the cotton plant, by III. T..
White, Professor of Chemistry in the Uni
versity of Georgia, shows that on farm
where cotton is the staple product only "a
pounds of plant are sold from the av-
erage Georgia acre in cotton, leaving 81
pounds to be returned to the soil in the
plant and feed. There is no doubt that
cotton rust is one among many disastrous
results of deficiency in the'soil of potash
and other mineral substances, due to the
burning of the debris of last years crop
and the selling of the seed
Farmers who have adopted the practice
of returning to the soil as early as possible
all the refuse of the last years crop have
brought about a new order of things.

French Finance.
Indiananolis Sun.

The following facts concerning the
French policy of finance, stand out in
bold relief and have never been denied
nor satisfactorily accounted for by the
hardware men:
l. France has more than twice as
much currency, per capita, as the
the United States.
2. The people of France do cash
business and consequently have q
minimum of private debt
3. During the Franco Prussian war,
France suspended specie payments
and made her paper currency COM
plete legal tender and trebled the
volume of it, and still it remained
practically at par.
4. When she had issued four hun
dred millions, gold coin for few days
commanded premium of about two
per cent, and when the volume of
paper was increased to over six hun
dred million the premium on gold dis
appeared and the paper and coin were
at par.
5. And all this occurred before
there was any time fixed for resnmp-
ton, and before the government had
declared any purpose to resume

In his remarks at Nashville a few

In his remarks at Nashville few
days since Colonel A. S. Colyer said:
The danger from railroad combinations
the Baltimore and Ohio, the Penn
sylvania Central and Eric, and Jay
Gould's Trans-Mississippi System, con-
trolled by four men-have now the
entire producing classes subject to their
orders. One man-Mr. Fink-is paid
$4,000 annually to watch the markets
and fix freights, and if wheat goes up,
or iron or bacon goes up, the profit is
taken up by. Mr.. Fink making an order
increasing freights so as to cover the
rise. Farmers, merchants and man
ufacturers must stand with hats off to
these great powers. The railroads
were chartered by the people, looking
to competition for protection.
I repeat, these immense combinations,
controlling and regulating according
to their liking the vest internal COM
merce of the greatest producing
country the world ever saw, is alarm
ing the country, and while the legal
profession ten or twenty years ago,
when roads were, as thay were char
tered competing with each other, did
not reconnize the right of Congress
to regulate the business of the rail-
roads under the provision of the Con-
stitution giving Congress the right to
regulate commerce among the several
State, now the legal profession, as
we'll as the National Legislature, is
coming to the conclusion that Congress
must regulate these vast artificial high
ways, and they will be put where the
rivers are-under the control of Con-
igress. There
is not a doubt but that the mean
ing of all this absorption is one vast
power as o syndicate controlling all
the roads of the United States and
whose headquarters viii be in London,
where money is cheap, and the Amer
lean absorption will get an advance
abroad On their outlay.

both sons and daughters an education, to
mt them for the duties and responsibilities
OF life: The cause why there are compar-
atiyely 50 few farmers in our legislatures,
IN the halls of Congress and othee, respon-
slble positions, is only because of the
want of capacity. Opportunity should
be given our boys that they may earn lit
tie sums, that they may not have to ask
their fathers for money for their small
wants and then in earning their own
money they will learn economy in its ex-
penditure. If country boys were prop
erly trained and educated, taught to re-
spect and honor their occupation, there
would be fewer leaving the farm to find
a precarious living in our towns and cities,
but when they arrived at manhood's age
they would endeavor to secure homes for
themselves in the country, and as it grew

Georgia Manufacturing.

The recent annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Eagle and
Phoenix mills at Columbus, Georgia,
gives the Enquirer of that city an OPP
portunity to make public some inter
esting facts illustrating the profitable
ness of judiciously conducted man
ufactsses in the South. The Eagle
Phoenix company began operation in
1866, when adj enterprise was appar-
emily hopeless in the South. They
built their first mill that year, and fol-
lowed in 1869 with another. In 1874
they added wooden factory, and in
1876 a dye-house said to be one of
the most complete in the country
These several additions showed that
the business was profitable, and the
company's dividends attest the same
fact Their fixed investment is
S1,S97,000; their total dividends
amount to $1,O00,660; they have
large surplus fund on hand; they en-
ploy 1900 operatives, and pay out in
wages over 100000 year; they con-
sumo $4,000 bales of cotton a year,
and 500 pounds of wool day. One
remarkable fact is that, during the
whole period of depression, from
1876 to 1879 when SO many mills in
New England aud in Europe were
forced to run on half time, the Col
umhus mill kept running steadily On,
with fall force making all the goods it
could, aad readily selling all it made.
The secret of this successful business
is that it makes cloth Of an unusually
good quality that it manufactures its
goods at a considerably smaller cost
than the same fabrics can be manu-
featured in the North; and that its
whole business is conducted with good
Judgment and strict economy. It is
clear beyond the need of demonstra-
ton that the making of yarns In the
South is simple and profitable
industry; and that large portion of
the cotton crop, if not the whole of
it, might be worked into yarn in the
vicinity of TIE plantations with de-
clded profit; and that in the manu-
facture of coarse cotton and woollen
fabrics, the South possesses advan-
tages over all other sections of this
country. ST. LOUIS Republican.

Social circles in New York are just
now excited over circular that has
been sent to many ladies of wealth
and position, making proposals to
start a woman's stock exchange and
temptingly inviting them to come in
and support the movement. The cir
culars are cunningly addressed to Ia
dies who have money or other prop
erty in their own right and fortunes
In diamonds and other jewelry. The
place of meeting is to be strictly pri-
vate and inaccessible to the male sex.
The business is to be done through a
substantial firm on Wall street, names
not divulged to the uninitiated. The
'1adies' exchange" is "for the trans
action of Wall street business in per-
feet privacy and seclusion.' It is a
sweet little trap to entice ladies into
stock gambling, and the heads of fam
lilies are beginning to keep sharp
lookout for their wives, their sisters,
their cousins and their aunts.
