Southern Live Stock Journal.
The Southern people living in
our country towns, and in prox-
unity thereto, are beginning to be
acknowledged as the LATEST people,
as a class, in these United States.
Every village is oyerrun With loaf
ers, able, healthy, stout-bodied
men-old middle-aged AMI young,
whose duty, alone, seems to be to
gas, and whittle, play cards, drink
mean beer and worse whisky, curse
the negro and lameut over hard
times. The truth is our Southern
country is in a deplorable condi.
tion, when its most promising
young men, aud the most intelli-
gent of our farmers leave their
country homes for the neighboring
towns and villages, surrendering
the agricultural interests OF the
country to negroes. No wonder
that the South is PROSTATE and her
people paupers-her land decreas-
ing in tertility-her fences gone
and her bitches overgrown with
willow, No wonder that her fields
are marred by washes and are fast
being given over to broomsedge.
No wonder that gaunt poverty
broods over our beloved country
best country the world ever saw
when the intelligent population Of
the country have moved to town
and left the ignorant, uneducated
negro to cultivate their lands. a
change must take place soon, or
our country will be utterly bank.
rupt.
A new system of agriculture must
soon be inaugurated, as to raise
cotton and corn alone, will not pay,
and the negro knows how to raise
no other crop. Ii he (the negro)
were educated, and could read, he
might soon understand how to di.
versify his crops, aud know in what
manner to improve his system of
farming, but he is ignorant aud
can, as it is, only follow in the path
be was taught to tread when a
slave, and continue to raise cotton.
We need intelligent men upon our
farms-men who realize the fact
that stock raising aud diversitying
OF crops is the true policy of the
South, and men, who not only be.
lieve, but will practice what they
believe.
We would urge our village loaf
ers of every age, to get down from
of the dry goods box, shut up their
knives, turn their backs upon bar
rooms and wend their way to the
country and there show their true
manhood by devoting their time
and attention to more honorable
occupation than that of whiting
away valuable time in loafng.

A Terrible Plague.

New York, Oct. IA special
from Kansas City, Mo-, says: A
terrible plague has broken out near
Waldron, Platte county. Eleven
persons have died in five days, aud
none of the victims give signs Of
recovery. The bodies Of the sut.
ferers are covered with black erup
tions, and after death the flesh falls
from the bones, so that the bodies
cannot be lifted into collins without
falling to pieces.

The New South.

Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Frederick Wolfe, the repre-.
sentative of Baron Erlauger and
his associates, who have recently
placed $25, ,000, 900 cash in his hands
for carrying out plans for q great
railroad system in the South, is en-
thusiastic over the future of that
section. He is quoted as declarin g
that "the people of the North have
just begun to realize that the South
has awakened to her true interests,
and, allowing politics to drop into
the grave with slavery and reeon-
struction, is applying herself to the
Improvement OF her material wei
fare with an energy aud shrewd-
ness worthy of a new country. Mr..
Wolfe says that the s25, ,0o0. 900
which the syndicate he represents
is spending in the South is only
one instance that not only are
many other railroad lines being
built by added capital, but money
in large blocks is being invested in
lands, cotton mills, furnaces, iron
works, lumber mills aud various
other enterprises. MIR. Wolffe's
conclusion, and he is a shrewd
Judge of men and things, is that
sthe South is destined to supply
the country and a good part of the
world, not with raw cotton, but
cotton goods of every Variety and

ICES this new rivalry and goes over
to it the better for him. The
South, old as it is, has just started,
in Mr.. Wolffe's opinion, q new aud
splendid development.

SMART BoYs.-The Gold Hill Ne,Us says
that owing to recent changes in the atmos-
phere, the boys of the Comstock were
obliged to call in their tops and marbles and
get out their seds. The Nescs thinks the
boys up in the mountains are very spry to
keep up with the weather. The Carson
Valley boy who starts out with sled in the
morning, also carries along his top and
marbles in case of a thaw, and kite under

might spring up.

A FoREHAGDED BRoTHER. Rev, J. D.
Hammond, Of Carson, remarks the Reno
Gazette may be said to have put in q good
winters work. He is presiding Elder of
his district and never missed a payday,
and draws good salary as Grand Secretary
OF the Masonic Chapter. He was elected to
the State Senate, and made an honest dollar
in that capacity. He was also elected al the
last general conference member of the
the book committee, which met in New
York last January. Mr.. Hammond asked
leave of absence from the Senate to attend
the session Of the book committee. As his
expenses are supposed to have been paid
by that committee, nobody knows whether
he was handed pass by Gage the night he
left or not. If he Travelled on a pass and
drew fare and expenses as presiding Elder,
Secretary of the Chapter, State Senator and
q member of the book committee, he ought
not to go hungry for chicken.

Big Money for Grant.


While the partisans of Gen. Grant
are vexing the country over PROPOSE
ton to vote him a sinecure of S17 900 a
year, the following statement comes op.
portunely from the New York Sun
Some two months ago the $3.50. 900 fund
for Gen. Grant was subscribed, with the ex-
ception of $50, 900, which was to be raised
in Philadelphia and Boston. The PhiIadel-
phla people got it into their heads that If
they subscribed to the New York Times
fund, which was to be fund for ex-Presi-
dents, that Gen. Grant might die suddenly.
and in such event, if President Hayes were
alive, it might be construed that he was en-
titled to its benefits. Hence the PhiladeI-
phIa people made a new move to get mn a
fund of$1OO, 900 and present it to the General
outright. 1t met with such success that they
induced Jay Gould and Vanderbilt to with.
draw from the Times fund the $50 600 which
each had subscribed, aud contribute il To
the Philadelphia fund. The full amount ha
now been raised. and will he given to Gen.
Grant IN day or two. The 100000 will
DO the General more good than the interest
OF the $3.50, 900 fund, all his sons being well
provided for.
The capitalists can well afford to give
Gen: Grant 500, 900, out of the hun
dreds of millions which were poured into
their Golfers by the direct effect of the
bills which he signed while President.
