III WISHES WERE HORSES.

"lf wishes were horses" dearie
How fast and how far we'd ride
on our beautiful snow white chargers,
Bounding with life and pride;
Straight as the flight OF an arrow,
Swift as the flight Of spear.
Wed travel forever and ever,
-"lf wishes were horses" dear.
To the tops OF the sunset mountains
Fer they flicker and fade away,
To the dusky halls Of the twilight,
To the flush Of the newborn day,
To the silent stars OF midnight
As they shine in the darkness clear,
We'd ride like the flight OF fancy,
-''lf wishes were horses dear.
Through billows OF western prairies
And dazzle of arctic plains.
Through perfume OF southern roses,
And mists OF the sweet spring rains;
Abreast OF the echoing thunder,
With the quiver OF lightning near,
We'd ride In the van OF the tempest,
"If wishes were horses" dear.
And into the lives we cherish,
To brighten their clouded skies,
Bring smiles to the sweet. pale faces,
And to light the saddened eyes;
To bring them message of comfort,
And whisper word Of cheer.
Oh, how we would galop and gallop,
-"If wishes were horses" dear.

THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED Steel PL0W


ltswelght will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A hrst-class steel Plow, made in the or
binary way, full rigged, retalls for twenty-five
dollars Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price OF our new Plow Will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and IL VIII DC the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
It's mold board Will outwear three OF the
very best kinds OF the ordinary steel mold
boards
IL will scour in soils where all steel plows
and all other plOws have hitherto proved
failure
With this Plow will be introduced CORFU
gated Plow Point and JOlntcr Point, on which
we have also obtained Patent, and which Is
also great improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
,rhe Jolnter can be shifted 50 as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and 1t can always be kept ON line with the
Plow
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side OF it as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam is adjustable for Spring or FAN
Flowing, and also for two or three horses
The handles can be adjusted to accommo-
date a man or boy, On the same PlOW.
1t Is perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out OF use because
they shrink swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demOralized and
bend, which is much worse than TO break.
steel beam is the necessity of the day. 1t
isthree times us strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When pe say Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know IL is 50.
We do not palm on on them composition
of various metals and call 1t chilled metal
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this State,
We can give but a very small discount 10
them, but we viii pay the Railroad Freight
We propose to place this PlOw In the hands
OF Farmers as near the cost OF manufacture
as possible.
IL will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
IL shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing 10 act
as agents on the principle that ga ninble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling" need moi
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute
sD-This Is the only steel Chilled Flow II
the World.
steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rugged, by giving smal
discounts, can be sold for seventeen Dollars
Compare this price with that Of any Iron PloN
ever made.
1t Is cheaper than any other Plow nov
made would be at nye dollars and half.
Where there are no agents we Will, on nc
celptoi Seventeen Dollars, send Plow to an.

The campaign in Indiana will GER
tainly be a warm one. Both par
ties have gone to work in earnest,
and NIL eyes are turned to that
State with great interest. 1t is
Democratic, without doubt, but the
Republicans will strain every nerve
and use every device to revolution
ize political sentiment, and place hel
on their side of the count. Their
main reliance is the importation OF
negroes from the South, which they
have been carrying on for some
time. The Democratic majority is
light, and Republicans hope to i'm
port negroes to control the, result.
Speaking of indiana, the Columbus
Index says, 'the vote of Indiana
will be watched with interest, as it
is expected it will have a great and
decided effect on other States. A
Republican vietery. there would go
a great ways towards restoring con-
fidence in Garfield. After the efforts
which have been made, and are be-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 23, ~


Editor Brookhauen ledger
The reports at Democratic head,
Quarters here for the past week are all
OF one kind-all favorable. This Is
especially true of those from Indiana.
in which State Republicans early in
the season had hopes OF Democratic
~dissention. In Maine. the Republi-
cans are making q more thorough and
vigorous capvass against the Demo
Gratis than the Greenbackers, but a well
informed Democrat writes to General
Walker that Senator Blaine's tactics,
always discreditable, fail this year to
receive Endorsement from even some of
the extreme Radicals. The number OF
Conservative speakers in Maine from
other States is being constantly in-
creased. The gentleman referred to
above, says the vote in opposition to the
Republicans will be increased from last
year, when it lacked only q few of
70, 900, and was over 1000 greater than
the Republican vote. From New York
the Committee receives fewer letters
than from many other States, but all
unite in predicting a majority as high
as 10000.
A Washingtonian, who has Just re-
turned from a tour through Virginia,
says all the troubles in that State vii,
be settled. He talked with General
Malone and other prominent Demo
Gratis i'll both wings Of the party, anG
found them generally willing to adopt
any measures necessary to give the
State to Hancock.
In short, nothing dicouraging Is
heard here, There are few complaint
that in some States the Committees arr
not forcing the fighting, but that cans'
for fu~alt-fnding will not last long.
The reported death of Hon. Proctor
Knott, aud dangerous injuries to Hon
Hester Clymer We're received with /
good deal OF feeling here. No two
Democratic Congressman are more
popular in Washington than they, anc
few deserve better of the party.
The Cadet Whitaker case assumed {
new form yesterday. He was yester
day given a furlough for an indefinite
time, Probably he will be allowed
court martial. Secretary Ramsey il
anxious to grant him one, and, though
many canuot see that such action Ii
called for, nobody objects.
About three months more will be re
quired to complete the payment o
Census Eunmerators. Their numbe
IS about thirty thousand, aud the aver
age of people reported by them abou
1900. General Walker says Il bette
class of men was employed than eve
before. He laughs at the charges o
extensive frauds in the enumeration
in the South. FL.

PROFITS OF FREE b

Speaking of Marlboro County,
South Carolina, the Charleston
News shows what has been done
with free labor in that State, and
the remarks are applicable to Mis-
sissippi, and should be carefully
noted by II farming community.
1t says that since the war the land
has improved fully 80 per cent. in
value and productiveness. The
yield of cotton has been greatly in
creased. The largest crop produ-
ced before the war was 10000 bales
and the yield of last year amounted
to nearly Is, 900 bales. This large
increase was brought about by high
~fertilizing, deep cultivation, good
draining and improved implements
of husbandry. The average yield
of cotton is 800 pounds in the
seed, or upon land that has been
brought into a state of high fertility
from 1900 to 1900 pounds, or one
bale of ginned cotton to the acre.
The staple always commands a good
price. The average cost of produc-
ton, counting in the value of the
slave property under the new sys-
ten, has not be"n reduced, but the
profits have been increased. The
crop is now ready for market three
weeks earlier than before the war,
while the transportation is cheaper
and more direct, and the profits on
the improved fertilizing, making
and gathering of the crop, will ag-
gregate fully so per cent. Ten per
cent. profit on the investment was
a full average until 1860, but the
PERCENTAGE of clear profit will now
reach not less than 20 per cent.
The cost of labor, which is well
regulated and remunerative, is $40
a month for first rate hands, with
comfortable quarters. The farm
year consists Of eight months, du-
ring which the laborers are paid the
regular wages; the remaining four
months belong to the laborers. eX-
cept in case there is work to be
done on the plantation upon which
they are employed which must be
given the preference, and for which
they are paid at the rate of their
regular monthly salary. The la
borers are all col0red. and r thrift
tv. willing workers.

The Green back candidate for
sheriff and n Negro Killed,
mud a Npmber Wounded.
The following was telegraphed to the
New Orleans Times: ~
MEMpHIs. Tenn. August 22.-From
passengers who arrived this morning,
the following particulars were gained
of the riot which occurred yesterday ut
Coffeeville, MISS, the county seat OF
Yalobusha county. sixteen miles north
of Grenada. A special election is to be
held next Tuesday to fill the vacancy Ill
the Office of sheriff, over which there
was a contest at the last general cleo
ton.
The sDemoorats aud Greenbackers
have tickets in the field. Saturday both
parties held ratification meetings in
Coffeeville; each raised n pole. The
Democrats had n brass band from Gren-
ada, and, after the pole raising, marche
ed through the streets. While passing
a corner a difficulty occurred between a
negro named Spearman. who was in the
Democratic procession, and r. V. Pear
son, Greenback candidate for sheriff,
which resulted in Pearson shooting
Spearman and killing him instantly.
This was the signal for n general melee.
A volley OF shots was opened upon
Pearson, who was shot three times,
from the effects of which he died last
night. Two white men, Kelly and
Reddick, friends of Pearson, were
wounded. For a time a perfect pande-
monium reigned. aud excitement ran 30
high that the Wslthall Grays, a militia
Try company from Grenada. was tele-
graphed for. but afterwards the order
was countermanded. Last night Cof-
