AN OLD FARMER.

This is the advice OF an old
.uan Who has titled the soil for
forty years:
I am an old man, upwards OF
three score years, during two
scores of which [ have been
tiller of the soil. [ can not say
that [ am now, but | have been
rich, and have all 7 need, do not
owe a dollar, have given my
children good education, and
when | am called away will leave
them enough to keep the wolf
from the door. Ny experience
LAS taught me that:
|. One acre land of we'll prepar-
Ell and vel cultivated, produced
more than two which received
oniy the same amount OF labor
used On one.
2. One COW, horse, mule, sheep
OF hog well fed, is more profta-
able than two kept on the amount
necessary to keep one we'll,
3. One acre of clover or grass
is worth more than two of cotton
where no grass or cloyer is
raised.
4. No farmer who buys oats,
corn, wheat, fodder and hay, as
rule for ten years, can keep
the sheriff away from the door
in the end.
5. The farmer who never reads
the papers and sneers at book
farming and improvements, al
ways has a leaky roof, poor
stock, broken down fences, and
complains of bad seasons.
6. The farmer who is above his
buiness and intrusts it to another
to manage. soon has no business
to attend to.
7. The farmer whose habitual
beverage is cold water, is health
Ter, Weather, and wiser than he
who does not refuse to drink .

TESTIMONIALS.

Ouachita City, La, May 90, $780,,
Mr.. Mcdonald, Bastrop, La. = q. +
DEAR SIR:-The. Southern STANDARD
Press. which you put up for me, has
given perfect satisfaction. During the
months of December and January last ]
packed 259 bales acknowledging in
weight 500 pounds. I used an ordinary
SIC cotton rope which, at the close OF
the season, was sufficiently strong to be
used for plow lines. 1t possesses many
advantages over any other press Of which
l have any knowledge Its cheapness
and durability should recommend it to
every one. l regard the Southern
Standard cheaper at 500 than the
Brooks or Reynolds or any press of like
make at $40. Yours truly,
0. B. STEELE.

Every one that examines into its
merits takes it in preference to all 9th
ers A great many of the best makes Of
Iron Screw Presses are laid aside and the
Southern Standard substituted.
The price of the Southern Standard
for this year will be as follows: Press
complete, for hand power, except wood
work, $46; Press complete, except wood
work and small Manila Rope, for horse
steam or water power, $50.

B. V. Mcdonald, Esq.
Dear Sir:-I take pleasure in attest.
ing to the excellent workmanship on the
Southern Standard press erected by you
last summer on this place. It not only
works easily but has realized my expec-
tations as to the weight of the bales
turned out, some weighing as high as
5s8 pounds, and many over 500 pounds
All this was done by hand. During last
season there We're about 100 bales pressed,
no accident or delay occurring during
the progress of the work feel satified
that any person desiring to put up a
press of this character, cannot be other
wise than pleased with the manner in
which your work is performed.
Very Truly,
THAD. WATERMAN. {

This is to certify that we had one Of the
Southern Standard Preooes built last
.Jannary We had only about forty bales
of cotton packed on it, and must say
that we are better pleased with it than
press we ever used, and we have been
using presses for over thirty years,
They are cheaper and handler than any
press we ever saw, and if put up by B.
V. Mcdonald, we are contident they
will please most any one.

Marshal Bazaine is lying dan

Marshal Bazaine is lying dan
gerously i'll at Madrid, and il is
probable that o few more days
will close the career of tho bril-
liant soldier Of fortune, upon
whom not so very long ago the
eyes of the civilized worlo were
conferred. Francois AchilIe ba-
zaine was born at Versailles IN
1911, and although, through
family influence, he might have
easily obtained a commission at
first, be entered the army as a
private in 1881. He believed
that the old adage that every
French knapsack carried a Mar
shal's baton was true, and in his
case it certainly was SO, his baton
bearing the proudly simple leg

Bazaine has campaigned in At
RIGA, the Crimea, Mexico, Italy
and Central Europe, he has been
in every place where hard fight
ing was going on, and in thirty
five years of active service thirty
two has passed in war. His sue
cess up to the fatal surrender at
Metz was phenomenal, the result
solely of his cool head and bis
indomitable pluck. At Metz he
unfortunately attempted a new
role, that of the statesman, and
bis ignominous failure, his sur
render of 100000 troops and
1900 pieces Of artillery blotted
out the whole record of his life.
The court-mal tial Which suose-
quentiy tried him, condemned
him to death. but in considera-

EDITORS TO ORDER.

PERTAIN students OF COTnell COl-
lege ask that a course of jour
,alism be established in that
seat of learning. Commendable
in the extreme is it for a young
man, or set of young men, to
be DESTROYS Of becoming editors
There is not any other way by
which they could possibly do
more work for less money than
by entering the profession OF
journalism. There is no deny
ing that the editors calling looks
altogether lovely from without,
lust as does the actors. There
is the great and glorious privll-
eye of pitching into everybody
and everything, under the cloak
Of the mystic editorial "we;" o
failing supply of free tick
cts to operas, theatres, concerts,
balls; ceaseless stream OF invl-
tation to big dinners. That the
hard worked and poorly paid
journalist sits in his seat at the
theatre more intent upon what
he is going to write an hour Or
two afterward than what he is
looking upon, never cutters the
minds Of the young students at
the University. If they were to
come to any one Of the great
cities and see the editors at the
theatres-quiet, solemn, weary
looking-they would not ask for
a course OF journalism.
Apart from the supposed pleas
ures and lvantages Of the edi-
tors calling, the broad and in
disputable fact remains that edi-
tors do not come from colleges.
No successful journalist has ever
been trained outside of the dull
routine and ceaseless drudgery
of the newspaper Offices. The
great majority of the editors
come from the composing rooms;
the balance have commenced at
the bottom round of the ladder
'a compositor, and, WITH
catholic spirit that he brought to
AID maintained in journalism, he
always made room for the crowd
of college students that annually
swooped down GU the Tribune
editorial rooms with the avowed
purpose of reforming and eleva-
ting the journalistic profession.
Mr.. Greeley, en- being questioned
as to the fate Of his collegians,
replied in his half-droll, half
mournful way: The enthusiastic
boys come by the hundreds to
make the Tribune a better paper
but not one of them has yet stop
ped here long enough to finish
the job. Indeed, them are persis-
tent among them don't stay over
three months One of Mr..
GreeIey's rivals, if not superiors,
was Henry J. Raymond, who has
toiled hard on psltry pay as a
reporter on the Tribune. The
other was James Gordon Ben

The recent campaign in thisstate on the
part OF the Republican party was Charac-
teriEed for its activity and the amount OF
good work accomplished. The party or
ganization was more complete and the
fruits OF this excellent organization are
shown in the large gains in the Republican
vote OF the State, aud in many cases in the
reduction OF the Democratic majorities. In
the State at large, this reduction has been
from three to Ave thousand. In the First
district on the vote Of congressman the
Democratic majority is cut down from S,406
in 1878, to III in 1880. In this district, the
Second, Martins majority was something
over 1000 in '7S while Hoge's majority
this year Is less than 5000.
Although defeated, the Republicans
have much to be thankful for, and owe a
debt Of gratitude to their energetic and
active State Central Committee, and es-
pecially to It's chairman, Col. George W.
Atkinson. The work done by the Com.
mittee was great, and it was done honestly
and fairly.

the proposition, that men, or institutions,

stinction, he said: Certain things are
inevitable. For instance, when Henry
Clay died the Wing party died with him;
He had embodied Its principles-he had
supplied its inspiration. When slavery
died the Democratic party died with 1t:
In life they had been inseparable, and

N. Y. Bulletin Of Saturday.
The position OF buyers and sellers does
not appear to undergo much change.
Dealers and Manufacturers are both repre-
scented on the market, looking up such
supplies as their early wants may require,
but showing more or less of the previous
ly noted caution, and not anticipating the
future to any great extent. The consumer
still finds the product Of his mill selling
only on very close margin over the cost
Of material, and indeed in some cases with
scarcely margin at all, and hence 1t re-
quires nice calculation to adjust purchases
accordingly; while the buyer who handles
stock for resale must be even more cir
cumspeCt lest he make an accumula-
ton against which no demand can
be secured at the prices OF neces-
sity asked. Holders, however,
show much strength and confidence, aud
in most cases are gradEally making up
rates, owing to the stiff tone at all do
mestic primary prints, where cost gen.
orally keeps ahead OF any profitable re-
turn to be obtained here. All accounts
from abroad are also stimulating, and
there seems to be no danger Of much COM
petition from foreign woods unless prices
here run very much higher. We are in
formed that most Of the American orders
sent out to Montevideo remain untitled,
owing to asharp demand and higher bids
from Antwerp buyers. Taken altogether,
the position has strong look SO far as the
determination OF holders is concerned,
but buyers respond too slowly to admit Of
any positive boom. The movement this
week has shown some reduction in
volume, but few cases higher prices
are reported. The transactions include
