The New Orleans Times.
Bay St. Louis Gazet


We have before us lot of daily
and weekly papers; among them the
New Orleans Times. For four years
we have Been IL constant reader of this
bold, independent and conservative
Journal fnll Of charity and Justice to
all; knowing the right, and always
daring to defend it; and then, to add
to its already great popularity, is the
Sunday letters of Catherine C"le.
The letters of Catherine Cole to the
New Orleans Times have made hun
dreds seek it with greater relish than
a hungry man his dinner, OF Il chris
tian his Bible. Her letters are SER
mons, chaste, indcpenpent, truthful
and plain, carrying conviction to
every reader of her nobility Of soul
and honesty of character. She neither
tires non disgnsts us with the fashion,
able butterflies Of society who toll
not, neither do they spin," but who,
in the providence OF God, were created
only to ill vacant places, aud are Of
no earthly use, only t" help out tailors
and dress and bonnet makers. One
Tuesday morning, not great many
weeks ago, we were on a train com
ing out from New Orlebns the car
we were in was pretty we'll filled, and
we took particular notice as we
walked down the aisle, that nine out
Of ten were reading the New Orleans
Times. Among the passengers we saw
!. lady who, from her dress and.man
ners, was evidently one Of culture and
refinement, and who had just SORROW
fully parted from her young, hand
some son. The tears We're flowing
fast down the delicate cheeks Of this
grieved lady ; We wondeied what
would console her; pretty soon she
drew from her pocket the Sunday
Times, and began to read. We still
watched her. and saw her turn to the
letter of Catherine Cole. An expires
sion Of pleasure and satisfaction took
possession of her countenance, and
the letter written hy the little browr-
eyed woman, called Catherine Cole,
was comforting the lonely widows
heart, and giving her courage for the
future. The world needs more Cath
crime Coles.

in no respects identical with its wealth.
Every bill and every check virtually per-
ishes the moment it has done its work, yet
does not by perishing lessen our total wealth.
Its work is solely to facilitate exchange, a
vital function TO highly organized industry.
Neither Scion, nor Lycurgus, nor Moses, nor
Numa Pompilius had any idea of such cur
rency as is now like life-blood to England"
Thus it seems that money having only the
most shadowy relation TO coin, and based
chiefly upon commodities other than gold
and silver, constitutes the business currency
of the greatest commercial nation that the
world has ever seen, aud performs success
fully every function once associated exclu-
sively with coin. Credit money replaces
coin money wherever the absolute wealth
and the commercial integrity exist to giveit
the necessary basis. 1t is capable Of indef-
mite expansion or of instant extinction, and
the quantity of it in existence varies with
the demand as promptly as the supply OF
steam to an engine varies (under the action
of its automatic regulatory with the work.
The present money of the commercial world
is essentially fiat " money, made and I'M
made at will. But it is the very folly of
the moon to think such money has no
b" basis" Its basis is the wealth of the coun.
try where it exists and the honor and hon
esty of its business men.

Timely Topics.

THE gap between grease and gilt-edged
forms the abyss that yawns between loss
and profit in dairying.
"THE early harvest is best" This was
the remark made by an experienced farmer
meaning that those who harvest early gen.
orally have the best weather. 1t has proved
SO this year.
THE prejudice against clover hay is so
decided among buyers that some do not sow
clover seed, yet, for our own part we prefer
a mixture of one-third clover with timothy
and redtop for any kind of stock. This mix
ture will produce more milk, more growth
and more fat in stock than clean timothy
and redtop.

In INDIA, as regards the "ryots," OF
small farmers, the legal credit system is en-
tirely abolished The ryots are not allowed
to pledge their land, their crops or their
tools to a creditor Only public opinion
enforces payment. This law was made
necessary in order to prevent the utter pau
perization of the agricultural class. II
works perfectly well, the Indian money
lender being en- excellent terms with the
ryots. He is compelled to be entirely fair
under this state of things. In good times
he gets good interest, in moderate times
moderate interest, and in hard times none
at all. He is utterly dependent upon the
good willof his debtors, and yet he thrives
1t has proved best for him that the power to
sell out his debtor in the hard times is
taken away from him-iust as in America
it has proved best for the old shareholders
that their power to sell their laborers has
been taken AWAY.

Not Yet.

Several correspondents, some humorously,
but some also in apparent earnest, have
asked us if there was any truth in the sup
posed allusion OF contemporary to our
abandonment of farming for politics in con-
sequence of our conspicuous failure as
farmer. We never really supposed that
this part of Brother Tinkham's diatribe
was meant for us, though it was so mixed
up with other hits " obviously intended
for us that we do not wonder some supposed
it might be So To such friends the follow
ing little paragraph from recent issue of
the Newport Express may be a relief. We
are not yet going out of farming nor are
we yet going into politics, though we may
go into politicians occasionally. Here is
the item alluded to, which will, we trust
allay uneasiness amongst our friends as to
our being sound on the agricultural goose
A walk through the grounds of Dr. Hos
kins discloses the reason why the census re-
turns show larger sales the past year from
this modest farm Of ten acres than from any
other farm in town, though the products are
not near what they will be when the young
fruit trees become full bearers. We imagine
the greater part of the income at present
must be from the sale Of garden seeds
though the doctor is selling quite quantity

Beans.

A year or more ago a correspondent
asked us where seed of the Red Kidney
bean, which was then selling at over $500
a bushel, could be had, as he proposed
planting them. We replied that we did
know where the seed could be had, and that
the little boom" in the price Of that va
riety was probably for some temporary cause.
This year the Red Kidneys have not been
quoted above sl.5O. 1t is probable that the
squirt in price was caused by some writer
commencing them in a widely circulated
paper like the New York Tribune. This
temporary inquiry often occurs for one sort
of seed or another, and if the stock ON hand
is small the price goes up. According to
writer in the CultiUator, the kinds of beans
mostly used and quoted in the market are
four, viz: Medium, Pea, Yellow Eye and
Red Kidney-all hand-picked, quoted re-
spectively at $l.40 Sl.S5, S2.35 and Sl.50
per bushel The larger part of the beans
raised in the United States come from the
Genesee country, in New York state.
considerable quantity, however, is cultivated
in parts of Michigan, and in Canada, and
very fine article is grown in Vermont, on
the shores of Lake Champlain and Grand
Isle. These are worth from forty to fifty
cents more per bushel than either the Mich
igan or New York production. 1t will be
seen that the Yellow Eye bean stands at the
head Of the market in price. This variety
tal 10, n, / 10 ha lv
bean used in the numbering camps, which
consume immense quantities of them Re
Gently an improved Yellow Eye has been in
troduced. We received seed of it from Maine
five years ago, and have raised it exclusively
as a field bean ever since. 1t has sold in
the Boston market during that time at from
fifteen to fifty cents higher than the old
Yellow Eye which leads other beans usually
about fifty cents. This new kind is rapidly
supplanting the old, and consequently the
extra quotation for improved is becom-
ing less, and will probably soon be dropped
because but few of the old Yellow Eye will
come to market The old kind is long and
flattish, while the new is rouuder and also
whittier. They not only bring a higher price
in market than any other sort, but they are
very much more easily grown, as they are
early and the pods all ripen up by the first
week in September. The plants in good
soil are vigorous and productive, and do not
make any vine, and never rust or spot.
Ripening so early, they do not need stacking.
Our stacking poles went to the woodpile
several years ago, and we simply pull the
beans, turning them roots upward on the
HILL let them sun few days, and then
draw them in on warm day and thresh at
once. They are firm under the fail and
split but little, while all being ripe aud
never spotting there is no need of sorting
or Manipulating. Our crop has always sold
as hand-picked, just as they come from the
fan. 1t is great mistake to thiuk that
beans will make a good crop on poor soil.
They require land as rich as for corn or po-
tatoes. Ashes is special fertilizer for
beans, and plaster is also found to be
profitable application.

The Grain Export Past aud to Come.

The Springfield Republican says :" The
grain export of the United States for the
fiscal year ending June Both, 1880, was, &C.
oording to report just made by the bureau
of statistics, PSI 100000 bushels valued at
S277,000,000. Wheat made up 17S,079,000
bushels of this export, 29,000,00O being ex-
ported as flour and the rest as grain. This
is not only the largest export of wheat ever
made from this country, 100000 bushels
larger than the year before, but it is three
and half times the export of Russia, the
greatest wheat growing country in the
world, next after the United States. The
average price at which this wheat was ex-
ported was Sl.0S per bushel the year before.
The corn exported, 99,191 900 bushels in
the last fiscal year against S5,575,965 bush
els for'the year ending in 1879, was exported
at an average of fiftyfour cents bushel
instead of forty-seven cents in the previous
year. Nearly onehalf of the S77,000,000
which the country received for its export of
breadstutfs in the fiscal year 1880 over and
above its receipts from breadstuffs in the
year before was due to this increase in
price. The export in bushels was larger
by fifth the sum received for it was
full third larger than the year before. The
wheat the United States sent abroad in the
last fiscal year was the surplus of total
crop of 449,000,000 bushels. There is no
reason to suppose that this years crop is
smaller than last years, there is a strong
probability that it will show the usual
growth, which will mean crop of 100000
900 bushels for 1880, At least 200, 100000
bushels Of this will be for sale Two fac
tors still unknown will determine the selling
value-the export from Russia and the
home supply in France and England Up
to the past fortnight there was every reason
81 to believe that the last would be good. If
it does not turn out well and Russian ex-
port is cut off, as it is now predicted it will
be, the foreign deficit will be two.thirds of
last year"
