 Why are the fences not in better order, the gates, the out-houses and the wagons? Why are the COWS not Jerseys and the hogs not Berkshirers?

He has run into rut, He is narrow in his practical thought, 1 as wide theorist as he is. The answer is slavery" He was not taught the value of labor. He never learned the lesson of thrift. He never had his life depend upon economy. To toll was not in the old Southern decalogue. This is the whole answer-the whole truth the whole explanation. These people are not too poor to develop the State. They are not bigoted. They are not so strongly prejudiced against foreigners or Northern men that they ostracize new corners.

SKINNED Milk for CaIve .

Mr.. A. B. Allen says that a dairy-man in
the State of New York, who kept twenty
grade Short Horn and Guernsey calves,
dropped last spring, has told him how he
managed them, which may be Of advantage
to Others 1t is as follows @
"They were allowed to suck their dams
few times Immediately after birth, erd then
taken away, and taught to drink M Tx from
the pail This was warm and fresh from
the cows for week or ten days, and then
skim milk.was gradually mixed with it, till
substituted entirely for the new milk This
was frequently lobbered in very hot weather
before feeding, and was thought all the
better forit, as being more easily digested.
The calves were put into a good pasture,
and when few weeks old began to nimble
the grass The summer being very dry,
this failed considerably during August; cut
hay mixed up with wheat shorts were then
given in place of it. One may judge how
well these calves throve when simply fed,
for at six to seven months OLD they weighed
from 500 to 800 pounds each. The cream
| from the milk of the dams were made into
butter of first rate quality, stored till Octo-
Der, and then brought q good price"

EnfeInperance and Divorce.

The Methodist conference which
closed its sessions in Portland, Me-,
last week, adopted striking report
on the evils of intemperance. The
charge was made that more than
two hires of the murders committed
Can be land at rum s door. Fifty per
cent of all the insanity comes from
strong drink. Twenty-Five per
cent Of all criminals become such
while crazed by drink, and SO per
cent of all the tramps and worth

drunken homes. 1t costs for The
support of 5000 churches, 00,( 90
ministers, all public schools aud
colleges, all missions, all benevolent
work in the United States. and the
the support of the national governs
ment, not over $5OO,O0O,O00 year.
It costs fer 100000 dram shops,
100000 liquor sellers, over 100000
criminals, 100000 paupers, 10000
idiots, nearly 10000 drunkard's

There are few current decisions that have
become SO firmly fixed as the trade trick
which claims that the only original cigarette.
warranted not to kill or ruin the larynx, is
the one wrapped in rice paper. During the
last ten years cigarette smoking has grown
apace in this country. At the beginning of
the war the cigarette was the mark
of foreigner, the Spaniard espe-
cially. All the continental nations,
however, do most of their smoking in this
way. The ready-made cigarette is only a
comparatively late invention. It was created
in Difference to the impatient spirit of the
American, who cannot give the time or pos
sibly acquire the skill necessary to roll a
cigarette. The address with which, this job
is done abroad ELECTS admiration. So great
an adept was Napoleon III. in the making of
this small solace, that with one hand, the
left, he could arrange the tobacco and roll
/ the paper into condition fit to smoke.
This, however, is by no means rare accom-
plishment i'll France, Spain or Italy.
1t was the American who invent
ed the patent cigarettes not SO
much to save the consumer the trouble of
making the articles as to get good chance
to adulterate them. There is not a cigar
cite made in America that any man, boy or
woman would smoke if the making and
! mixture of them could be SEEN Every
brand makes a loud boast of using rice
paper, whereas any one who takes the
| trouble to examine the rice plant will see at
a glance that there is no fibrous consistence
IN 1t to make paper of the sort used In cigar
cites. Prodlgious fortunes have been made
and are making and millions of people are
| slowly running their digestive organs by
inhaling the foul stuff wrapped up in the
various brands that claim to be pure. Let
any smoker of cigarettes subject his tongue
and throat to medical examination after
, smoking package of cigarettes. Vitriol
itself leaves no more sinister impression on
tongue, throat and palate, If the cigarettes
were made of pure tobacco and fairly good
paper it would be more harmful than
cigar, which the world has come to agree
substantially is not harmful at all But the
greed of the trade enters this, like all other
enterprises that spring up to supply sudden
demand, A package of twenty cigar
cites, which may represent an outlay
of from three to five cents, the manufac-
turer exacts twelve to sixteen for. There is
rarely IN package of twenty as much gen.
uine tobacco as a smoker consumes in one
honest pipeful. 1t may be safely said that,
with perhaps one or two exceptions, every
cigarette made is q source of violent physi-
cal reaction, destructive of vital tissues and
the active principal Of lurking and insdious
diseases, and that it is better to smoke q
pound OF tobacco In any other form than
the pinch mingled with poison that makes
up the rldlculously expensive and utterly
worthless article of cigarette that holds the
market

Doctors in plenty, doctors of law and di

Each with his satisfied air, in his we'll
padded lace;
Each with his tilne-worn notions of god

justification by faith and salvation by

What, after all, is the just and truthful
amount of it,
All of their arguments, all of their elo-
quent speech?
What shall they say when called on to give
an account of 1t?
What can they show as the issue of all
that they preach:
Truly the finger of each, as erect as the
steeple is,
Pointing to heaven, conveys a continual
call
het they are over or under the point where
the people is,
mostly beyond or behind the great mass
Of US all.

Good men grow better, and evil mon

Hearts may be eased by the comfort held
out to the aching ones;
Life has been purified greatly by preach
ing the word.
Yet are their labors often mere weakness
and vanity,
Soft on the ears of the cultured and salts
fed few:
Yet do the hungry and thirsty great droves
of humanity,
Wander afar from the preacher, the choil
and pew.

Stand not too high, but humbly come down
here and preach to us!
Reach to the millions who never find room

Failure at MontyaIe.

MARYvILLE, Tenn, May IS, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR: We have been having quite
an excitement here over the Montvale
Springs failure. Some time ago, Mr. Good
hue, of Cincinnati, purchased the springs,
and extensive repairing has been going on
there, material purchased, laborers en-
ployed, and, the sequel is, that considerable
indebtedness has been contracted.
Now, it turns up that Mr.. Goodhue aban-
dons the whole thing, while he remains at
Cincinnati A number of merchants being
on the qui UiUe attached much of the prop
erty there, and yesterday the laborere
shingled the whole place with attachments
1t is singular that, just now, when
the season is about to open, that
SO much labor and expense is abandon
ed. The springs will revert to the estate in
Maryland to which they belonged formerly,
and it is reported the hotel will be opened
for the reception of guests by the heirs at
an early day.
Maryville having surrendered her charter
in 1879, has just been declared a taxing dis
trict of the second grade, under an act
passed by the last legislature. The county
court appointed as commissioners r. n
Hood, B. A. Morton and VIII A McTeer

N. Hood as president, Will A. McTeer secre-
tary and financial agent and B. A. Mort Z

be done, SO the commissioners adjourned to
meet at o'clock p. m. Tuesday next
