Mr.. Hon, last week, stated that
small farms are almost unknown il

soutberns was TO keep the la11

inquiry. For example, taxing the
State Of Georgia; We find shat.
while in 1850 il had bot 906 farms
Of under ten acres, IN 1870 IL bad
S,5ZI such farms; 10 1860, bot
2,s03 farms Of over ten and under

in 1850. but l4,1Z9 farms Of over

in $50, 1871 such farms
Making total Of al these sab-
classes, considered as small farm

for 1860 from that for 1870, ~
reach the instructive fact that. 10
some i've years preceding 1870, the
increase IN the number Of smalI

nineteen thousand three hondred
and tuenty-nine.
''In the State OF Mississippi the 10

A new census has been taker

The press OF the Mississippi valley Is clamc-
rous for an enormous appropriation from Con-
gress for the Improvement of the father Of
waters. The demand Is for money to rebuild
the Ievees and improve the navigation of the
stream. The south Is interested only In new
levees, while the north and west want improved
navigation. Both OF these extensive under
takings II Is urged, must go together, as with
out the ievee appropriation the south would
not support Mississippi river bill, and with
out the improvement feature, the north and
west would not feel any interest In 1t. There

There is no section Of this country that would
deny TO the valley Of the Mississippi aud It's
people their due proportion OF consideration at
the hands Of the government and all proper
expenditures In the way OF aiding In the de-
velopment and improvement of that rich and
rapidly growing part OF our land; but 1t may
with al propriety be Insisted that there shall
be some thoroughly developed practical plan
for the great work proposed before the govern
ment begins to set apart the millions necessary
for It. IL Is much easier to talk about i'm

IL shall be done. III short this is an undertak-

southern advocates OF immediate improve

boldly proclaim-Some OF them at least-that

The question Of telegraph poles is vexing the

ton. Clearly the only way to settle the matter
Justly and permanently, IN the large cities. at
least, is 20 require all wires, whether for tale-
graph, telephone. or fire alarm purposes to be-
placed under ground. 1t must be apparent to
every one that the limit to which poles and
aerial wires c9n safely be allowed IN the streets
has already been reached: and Yet 10 refuse

Ing all competition out OF the field The true
remedy, therefore. is to put all enterprises of
the Kind Oh the same footing, and compel them

process need not be nearly so expensive Or de

these can be placed IL comparatively small pipes

them, they need not be laid deep, nor need the
trench intended for their accommodation be a
very wide one. In this way the only disturb
