Mrs. Serena Smith, of Hawkinsville,
Ca, commencing in 1875 with one horse,
has steadily increased her farm till now
she runs six.horse farm, having pur-
chased and paid for 600 acres Of land
and all her horses and mules, six in
number. Mrs. Smith has this year built
a gin-house and screw, purchased new
gin, and has already ginied over 100
bales Of cotton. The whole secret of
her success lies in the fact that she
raises her own corn, meat and syrup,
and, in fact, supplies her whole farm
with home~raised provisions,
There are few greater mistakes than
the prevailing disposition among people
to bring up their daughters as fine ladies',
useful knowledge for showy
The notion, it has
been Justly observed, which girls thus
acquire of their own impor-
tance is in an inverse ratio TO their true
value. With just enough Of fashionable
to disqualify for the duties
Of their poper station and render them
ridiculous in higher sphere, what arc
such fine ladies fit for? Nothing, but to
be kept like waX-fgures in glass case.
Woe to the man who is linked to one of
them! If half the time and money
wasted on music, dancing and embroidery
were employed in teaching daughters
the useful arts Of making shirts and
mending stockings and managing house,
hold affairs, their real qualifications as
coming wives and mothers would be in
creased four-fold.

9.-MoNTEsoUIEU's ASSOCIATION OF REPUB.



The book the Senator Podsnaps,
proves overwhelmingly that the great
fear of the States and the people was
not aristocracy or monarchy, as he seems
to think, but that the effect of the Consti-
tuition would be to nationalize or consoli-
date the States and it was only on be-
ing convinced that the States were to be
preserved in their sovereignty, and fed
eralized, that the people adopted the
system (see r. of r. PIP. so, 1892. The
fathers not only cited Montesq quieu's
theory as their guide, but they conform
ed to it. The people as organized are
sovereign. To attend to selfgovern-
ment, small populations and limited
areas are indispensable. To have the
advantage of national strength and pres
tige, as large monarchies do, these small
bodies of people must confederate and
co-act as If q nation. Their federal act
mu st be done through agents with
specified duties-the actual government
being the republics themselves, /. g., the
selfgeverning people. The strength
of such system, where great States are
its components, is its yoluntaryness, and
resting on the rock Of content. The
plighted faith of sovereigns Is the
highest Of sanctions when it involves.

THIS is an era Of railroad extension
and combinations. Two interesting
and remarkable movements have taken
place this week. The acceptance Of
the Fred. Wolf bid, on behalf Of the
Erlanger Syndicate, for the Cincinnati
Southern railroad, and the combina-
ton Of the Cole system of railroads
with G. P. Huntington's system. This
is to be done from Knoxville by the
completion of the Ohio division of the
East Tennessee & Georgia railroad,
and over the Kentucky Central rail
road. The estimated cost Of con-
structing this connecting link is So
100000, and it is said by those having
the enterprise in charge that it can be
completed and made ready for the
rolling stock by the first day of Sep
tember, 1882. This will give Knox
vile new status as city and greatly
increase its Importance as a trade aud
manufacturing center. A direct road
to Cincinnati from Knoxville or Nor.
ristown has been agitated for over
forty years. John Bell, in his
palmiest days, made eloquent speeches
on tie subject, but nobody ever
offered to give the money until n)w.
This connection will give Cincinnati
line to the South parallel to the
Southern, and a considerable advant-
age in distance to Southern Virginia,
the Carolims and most of Georgia,
over the road Just now leased to
ErlaEser. The Atlantic ports, to
which this outlet will give Cincinnati
access for the present, are Norfolk,
Va, and Charleston, 8. C., and this
connection and combination will also
enable Mr.. Huntington to run his cars
to Memphis via the Memphis and
Charleston railroad much sooner than
he can reach here through Western
Kentucky. 1t will make various
changes in the relations of railroads
and cities not easily to be foreseen at
present.

Mr.. John Walter, M. p, and pro-
prietor Of the London Times, accom-
panied by his wife and grown son and
daughter, came over in the steamer
Bothnia, and reached New York last
Tuesday. He visited this country
fifteen years ago, and again in 1876,
when he attended the Philadelphia
exposition. He is about sixty years
old and is described as a man Of highly
intellectual appearance. He is of
middle height, with well-shaped
though peculiarly long head, and
cheeks Of rudy freshness, contrasting
to a remarkable degree with the
silvery whiteness of his side whiskers.
The thoughtful forehead, the keen
blue eyes, with their peculiarly pene
trating glance, the boldly chiselled,
prominent nose and the finely drawn,
but firm, resolute mouth and chin, all
betOken not only superior mental
powers, but great will and strength of
character. He is very agreeable,
simple and cordial in his manners,
understands American ways better
than most Englishmen, and converses
readily and freely upon any and all
public questions. He has liking TOR
American institutions, and finds much
to commend in this country, though,
Of course, he thinks the British form
OF government has some advantages
over ours. His trip is one OF pleasure
and recreation during the vacation of
Parliament, of which he is laborious
member. Mr.. Walter was also anxious
to have his children see this country,
and will go as far West as St. Paul.
