SMALL FARMS.

The French people have more ready
in dividened possession than any other
nation in the world. 1t is not the
wealth of o nation that makes the peo-
pie rich, but the general diffusion OF
wealth. This is the case in France.
The French are nation Of small far
mers. There are more landowners in
that country than in America. The
farms are small the majority are under
twenty acres, and q very large number
under ten. 1t may not be that is tho
only reason for the money wealth OF
these people they are notably economi-
cal and thrifty. But the small farms
have something to do with it. The
farmersin some of the eastern counties
of PENNSYLVANIA. where the farms are
comparatively small, could well com
pete with the French in their possession
of money wealth. Almost every far
mer has his hoard invested. These men
have habit of feeding few head OF
beef cattle Or a flock Of sheep every win
ter. They sell little grain but wheat,
and feed their fodder and coarse grain
to purchase stock. They make nore
profit to the head Of stock than is made
upon large grazing farms, and their
land is rich and hi&h-priced, because OF
the large quantity Of manure that is
made in feeding stock. The consump,
ton ofmeat is continually increasing,
and with the extension of manufactures
there are more mouths to fiji every
year, 50 that it is not probable the sup.
ply can ever become excessive.

THE LAND LEAGUE.
A Proclamation from the National
Land League Of the United States

BosToN, Feb. 4.-The following pre-
clamation is issued by the Irish National
Land League in the United States:
70 the members of the Land League
and the American people: The crisis
has been reached in Ireland. 1t is not
the unexpected that happened the sup
preston of free speech; arrest without

spies and soldiers; coercion; the blow
before the remedy; all these are inevita-
BILE.
England moves but slowly towards
Justice. Behold her wel]-worn weapons
There is a new Ireland. In tue mass of
her people, courage, patriotism, zeal,
endurance, leadership, capacity-sufii-
cient for a time, exist. Strong, thought
full, resolute men lead. If they are 81
fenced, others viii leap to I'll the vacant
places. Ireland cries for justice. The
Land League is her voice. Englandmust
build more ,jails before the voice can be
sti1ed
To the outrage upon the peoples rep.
resentatives to the attempt to place
Ireland on her knees; to beat and
scourge her before righting her wrongs
to the arrest of the brave Michael Da
witt; let America answer III protest as
a fire famed upon all the hills in thai
olden time when the edict went forth
SO now in every American city let the
fire of your indignation blaze. Call pub
lie meetings everywhere at once. As
you saved the Irish people from dealt
and raised them from despair, show thai
your sympathy is still with them il
their grand struggle for justice.
Members of the League! knit cloSel
together! Add to your numbers from
new branches in every place where
friends of the canse can be found
Place yourselves in immediate communi

the yawning abyss below. Unchecked
by this new and terrible difficulty, he
instantly casts glance about him for
means of descent.
The bell rope hung behind him.
He pulls up all he can from below,
without thinking whether it will reach
to the ground, whose distance he has
no means of ascertaining, fastens one
end of the friendly rope to projecting
part of the balustrade, throws the re-
mainder forward into the air, waits for
favorable moment when all is
quiet down in the street, then, commit
ting himself to its frail holding, he
begins to descend.
Fortune does not always favor the
brave.
He had descended considerable part
of the fall when the rope suddenly
broke, and down he came with a fright
full crash to the ground.
Although some time had elapsed be-
fore he was picked up, he was still in
sensible so many of his ribs and limbs
were broken that the surgeon declared
it impossible for him to live.
His fractures were however reset
his friends were allowed to administer
their tender attentions, and he die
nevertheless, in time, recover.
As might be expected, under the cir
cumstances, in Switzerland, where thu
love of liberty is recognized as the mos
noble passion, he received full pardon

A NEIGHBoRLY COMPLIMENT.

In their extra large twelve page
issue of last Friday, our enterprising
confreres of the Advocate were SO
generous as to refer to the CAPT.
ToLIAN in the following very compli
mentary terms:
TIE LOUISIANA CAPIT0LIAN- A
TRI-WEEKLY PAPER.-This is one Of
the institutions Of our city, and de-
serves notice in the recapitulation OF
our business interests. 4 It's nota very
common incident in the history of the
Press, for q newspaper to open it's
columns in order to notice merits OF
q rival, but we thank Heaven, that
we stand superior to thatnarrow pro-
fessional jealousy, which obscures
the claims of q competitor for public
favor. Baton Rouge is big enough,
and has verge enough in her hopeful
future, to accommodate the legiti--
mate ambitions of two great papers,
and the public, and the interests Of
the Press itself, will derive advan-
tage from q healthy competition,
which will stimulate enterprise, and
excite the public curiosity. The
CAPIToLIAN was started as weekly
in 1879 before Baton Rouge was the
Capital, and it placed it's banners Oh
the outer walls, by adopting desig-
nation, which would have had no rel
eyancy, had it not succeeded in as
sorting our just claims. It's immedi-
ate success warranted it in extending
the enterprise, and it was soon en-
larged, md now appears as q Tri-
Weeldg The CApToLIAN always
talks ont ip meeting, and its editorials
are prac,lf4l, vivacious and to the
point. 1t is worthy coadjutor with
the Advocate, in the systematic agi-
tation of projects of local improve
ment, and enterprise. Its earnest
work, in restoring the Capitol to us,
illustrates the value of the news
papers, in organizing, and directing
public sentiment OH useful enter
prises.
Gen. Leon Jastremski, who is also
Mayor of Baton Rouge, is its editor,
aud it is published by W. A. LeSueur.
It's neat typographical appearance
speaks for the efficiency of its me-
chanical department which is we'll
supplied with material for newspaper
and job work.
i We hope on some future occasion
to reciprocate by rendering unto
Caesar that which belongs to Caesar.
In the face of the courtesy which
Messrs. Cross g. Jones have shown us,
we deem it but an act of justice to
them to say, that under their talented
and energetic.management the Ad-
vocate is destined to become a source
of pride to its managers, as well as
q powerful combatant for the onward
march of Baton Rouge, and the State.
We raise our hat to foemen against
whom we will consider it an honor
to cross blades on the field of discus
sion, though we hope that our views
will so much coincide with theirs
that we will but march shoulder to
shoulder with them in the journals
tic arena.

A WILL AND A WAY.
ny PERCY v. RANCE.

Ia the picturesque envir0us of Bernie,
the capital of Switzerland, there is a TO
mantle little town called Soleure'
Nestled costly in the bosom of that
vineyard valley of the river Aar, and
guarded by a Gordon of snow-plumed
sentinels, dctachmont5 from the BerneSe
Alps, it is to-day the picture of peaceful
security.
But this fruitful valley has been the
theater Of war and carnage, and more
than once was Soleure, like Dulcigno,
in our time, Eurobe's apple of discord
Soleure used to contain the castle and
fortress of the canton not such q castle
as princes love to revel in, nor the pala-
tial summer residence Of royal retinue,
but grand old medieval fortress with
iron-b barred gateways and high turreted
walls; an arsenal and prison.
1t is within its dingy interior that we
have found the subject of our story.
About the year l7--this castle con-
tanned scores of prisoners, who having
ventured life and all it's hopes for glori-
ous liberty, had reaped only the dun
geon and q promise of death.
Most dungeons of those times lay hid,
den far down underground, beneath the
very foundation Of the castle itself,
aud many of us, in visiting them, have
CROPPED our way, with guide and flicker
ing taper, through their tortuous pas.
sages, and crawled on our knees into
their damp and loathsome caverns.
Unlike them, the prison of this re
doubtable fortress was built above the
ground.
A large quadrangnlar tower rose higl
out of one corner of the wall, and cas-
its gloomy shadow over the marrow

In the center of this tower was a
stone staircase, coiled around its interi

OVR TOWN GIRL.

Our town girl is 80 blithe and gay,
Tis sweet to watch her winsome way,
As she trips along with footsteps light;
Now tell me boys, am not right
The blush on her cheek Ia like the rose,
The sweetest and fairest flower that blows;
And the buoyant spring as she trips along
Is worthy of better than my poor song
And in the waltz or the promenade
She leaves the others in the ''shade;'
Also in the glide and the heel and toe,
She carries the colorS well, know
But, OH don't talk for the sweetest oil all
Is n0tat the "hop' or the crowded ball.
But with her in the parlor at dusky eve,
Just leave me, boys, and I'll not grieVe,

A FAR.REACHING DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court of
this State in the cases of Sal0y and
others VS.. the City of New Orleans is
one of more than ordinary Importance,
and is not unworthy the study even OF
laymen. The suit, we understand, was
brought by plaintiffs to compel the city
to accept ten mills as the full tax per
centum due by plaintiffs under Article
209 of the Constitution limiting corpora
tions to that amount as the maximum,
the city having levied fifteen mills, tho
excess of five mills being required, as
was set up in opposition to plaintiffs
prayer, to pay interest on bonds OF the
city outstanding at the time the present
Constitution was adopted. The man.
damus prayed for was refused by tho
, Court, Chief Justice Bermudez and JUS
tice Poche dissenting, and the Court
was similarly divided on a refusal to
grant re-hearing.
The questions in this case are vital
and far-reaching, and too numerous to
be discussed in hurried newspaper ar
ticle. Tho effects of the decision, we
fear, will be deplorable, and might be
considered in advance, as Of that por-
tentous character which brings tho peo-
pie face to face with the great funda-
mental question-Is there existing in q
government Of the people the Right and
power Of Self,preservation. -Ouachita

LIVE DEMOCRATIC FUNERAL

The Republicans Of Clarinda, Page

cordlng to the Council Bluffs Nompareil
they had the biggest kind of a time,
with Examinations, fireworks, music
and speechifying. After several Repub-
lican orators, among them Congressman
elect Hepburn, had given vent to their
feelings with spread eagle speeches, the
crowd called loudly for Lou 3. Cake.
Cake is Democrat, and the Nonpareil
says he looked too depressed to speak,
but the crowd wouldn't be put Off so he
mounted the box and made the follow
ing unique speech:
