Imprisonment for Debt.

The following remarkable statement
from Governor Cornell's message to the
New York legislature will be read with
surprise outside that state:
1t is the popular impression that i'm.
pr,sonment for debt was abolished In this
state many years ago. Such undoubtedly
was the intention when the laws to this
end were enacted; but unfortunately, %
many victims can testify, The object was
not attained. The county Jail in the city
Of New York is never free Of prisoners
detained for debt, and It is not uncommon
to nnd from dfty to sevcnty-dve debtors,
10 called, confined therein, some Of whom
have been kept there for years. Instances
Of impeisonment for claims a. small a.
twenty. i've dollsts are not unfrequent.
Cruel hardship 10 constantly inflicted in
this man ner, and it Is due the unfortun.
ate subjects Of such outrage that the laws
regulating imprisonment on civil process
be thoroughly revised, and all obnoxious
features expunged.
1t has been generally supposed IN this
country that England was the only nation
sufficiently heartiess to imprison for debt.
Thanks 10 Governor Cornell he has set
the truth before the country and that de.
1uslon il dispelled.

Stokes, Charley's father, is keeping q
large number of cows now and doing
well. He has followed the wheat bust.
ness till the bottom dropped out, Charley
says, but IS now in stock. He sells the
cream Ut % cents per inch, and the cal is
of size that an inch of cream makes a
pound of butter, the creamery men CON-
ing to his door after it. This leaves HIM
all the milk for calves and pigs which is
quite An item, a. the CALVES and pigs
show.
Now that we call business.
There Is no back breaking about it as in
growing wheat. There is no threshing
bills to eat up the profits, and no machine
bills to suck the comfort and satisfaction
Of life away. 1t may be disagreeable work
milking cows and feeding calves and
pigs, but we should prefer it to paying
machine notes and Juggling wheat. We
would rather run after cows and calves,
than reaper or threshing machine, and
be bucked off the bridge by steer than q
machine agent.
Think of it. The rains come and the
wheat is drowned out, yet grass grows we'll
and COWS and calves revel In feed to their
knees. The hot sultry days come and the
wheat is baked in the dough. The cows
and calves seek the shade, chew the cud
of contentment and make cream and flesh.
The chlnch bugs eat at the roots and the
wheat is totally ruined. The cows come
home every night with filled udders ready
10 give down. In one instance tho har~
vest passes and the constable is at the
door to take you hence to make room for
the mortgagor, who now owns your home.
In the other you snap your finger at the
rains, the excessive heat and the law.
Your expenses have been light, you owe
no reaper notes, or harvest wages, or
threshing bills. and you whistle % you
load your tubs of golden butter in the
spring wagon. and drive off to town with
several thousand pounds worth 20 cents
per pound.

solid sense.

In recent article in relation TO journal
ism and journalistic work, the Peoria
Journal has the following to say, which
is as true as it is possible for anything to
be: I'm this profession nothing takes
the place Of slow, Flooding industry, and
a capacity for dong an enormous amount
of labor. Any one who has this can af.
ford to dispense with lighter and more
brilliant kinds OF talent. Nor is the ab,l.
ity to speeehify of very m UGH use in the
newspaper trade. In fact good talker
is rather of bore on paper than of use.
The ability to make a good speech re-
quires that man should be, TO certain
extent, verbose and prollx, and he is apt to
run into the same evil in his sheet.
Whereas, writer, in the present day and
age, needs to be compact and concise, and
to put what he has to say in the smallest
compass. We do not know of siagle first
class newspaper man who is a good talk.
er The talent required to make q good
speech is the very opposite Of the talent
required for good newspaper writing"
These thoughts suggest others to Us.
In our judgment the poorest investment =
newspaper proprietor can possibly make
is the employment Of genius to write
for him. A''genlus" can do more to ruin
. paper in one day than an ordinary plug
Of man would do in = month.
Furthermore, genius is utterly unrelia-
Bile. He writes only when the "divine
attlatus" seizes him. And probably he has
an attack just when you have no use for
his work. At other times he 10 utterly

We never yet saw "genius" around q

worthless nuisance-whnsa room was not
better than his company. This species
of men are conceited, lazy, shiftless,
worthless, foolish, aud spendthritts. One
good, honest, plodding, faithful worker is
worth an acre ofgeniuses. You can count
on the plodding man for 4 good fair
