The following, from the american Settler published
in London England in the interest of people seek
ing homes in America contains an idea which will
be quite new to many of our American readers, and
of special interest to the settlers on the line of that
magnificent North and South trunk-line, the Cincin-
natl Southern railway
Another point we seek to impress on the intending
settler is one only beginning to dawn on Americans
themselves, and which was almost hercely denied by
Senator Conkng in speech during the Presidential
campaign He asserted that all the grand lines of
traffic were east and west though nature had made
the grand rivers flow for the most part north and
south. Now, on the contrary, we assert that the
grand lines of American traffic will be north and
south, not east and west At present, the most i'm
portan roads are those which serve the exports and
imports but the day approaches when this will be
wholly changed, and then the great lines will be in
terna Does it not stand to reason that vast con-
tinent which supply everything, and is likely to
produce in superabundance all that Europe, Asia
and Africa Produces will exchange its trade over
land lines not over sea lines? and that the variety
will be caused by degrees of latitude, not by degrees
of longitude; climate being something similar along
line of latitude but changing rapidly along line
of longitude? Follow out that idea and apply it to
the work we have in hand; and we can leave the
reader to reach his own conclusions, and decide who
is right.
We are not prepared to admit or deny the Ame,ztan
Settlers position but in following out the dea it
does strike us that the sweet-potato crop, easily
grown in the South is being largely consumed in the
North; while we may say hundreds of tons of small
fruits, grown in the South, seeking the early
Northern markets. and the trade in them constantly
increasing. This is saying nothing about the great
staples OF cotton rice, sugar and tobacco with which
we are all familiar. And may not the very large
and unexpected gains in the freight traffic on the
Southern" be also accepted as proof Of the -" Set
tiers position? NJ

The following letter, extracted from the issue of

DEAR SIR:-In reply to your favor asking my
opinion OF the plateau lands of the Cumberland
Mountains, will endeavor to give you, in as few
words as possible, my estimate of them, based upon
practical experience and close observation for tour
years.
And first let me say that compared with the rich
auvia soils of the Central Basin these lands poor
and the farmer who attempts to farm them in the

LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

Live for something, be not idle;
Look about thee for employ;
Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay:
Life for shee has many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway!
Gentle words and cheering smiles
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief-dispelling wiles.
As the pleasant sunshine falleth
Ever on the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. we'll the darkened hearth.
Hearts there are oppressed and weary /;
Drop the tear Of sympathy,
Whisper words of hope and comfort;
Give, and thy reward shall be
Joy unto thy soul returning
From this perfect fountain-head-
Freely, as thou freely givest,
Shall the grateful light be shed.

upon corn crop will most certainly fail And yet
consider they have advantages which render them,
under intelligent treatment the most desirable and
nrinsicay valuable lands in our State for the follow
ing reasons
!. The soil, though thin is lively, easily cultivated
and responds with generous vitality to fertilizers
that have not seen equaled anywhere else.
2. AS grazing country it has no SUPERIOR the
natural grasses which cover the whole plateau afford
ing abundant pasture for seven months in the year.
Everywhere there is abundance of clear, cod free
stone water, and the elevation renders the climate so
delightfully."- COOL and free from hies that cattle do
better here than anywhere else in the State, while
proper effort will an abundance of winter food

the latter; my yield was fifteen bushels per acre
consider this territory the best in our State for
sheep-rasing.
But my third and strongest reason for my APP
probation of the plateau the fact that its elevation
adapts it specially for raising those products which
the South cannot raise in its lowlands in the same
perfection; and thus, the farmer raises northern
products in the midst of southern market his pro-
fits are great.
The average yield of Irish potatoes here is one hun
dred bushels per acre. and these of quality equang
those of New York or Michigan. Cabbage is another
product largely imported into the South and these
also be raised with But the great product
fthe plateau is the winter apple. We have made
careful investigation of apple culture the plateau,
extending over several counties, and we have no
hesitation in saying that an orchard in full bearing,
producing the winter apple, will pay per cent. per
annum, on from $500 to ST. 900 an acre.
have made the above estimate upon actual results
which have come under my own observation To
sum up, would say that l would not recommend
the plateau lands to the immigrant who is very poor,
and who requires immediate returns for his labor
Such one could do better by renting some of the
rich land already in cultivation. of which there is an
abundance in our State. But to the man ofmoderate
capital and enterprise, who can afford to clear up his
land, engage in stock-rasing making of butter and
cheese, sheepraisng and trutgrowng, we know of
no section where he could make more profitable
investment and at the same time have such de-
lghtul climate noted for its pure water, fine atmos-
phere, and exemption from all malarial diseases.

1t aould be folly to shut our eyes to the fact
that this question, as relating to the enterprise in
which engaged has been answered in the
affirmative by many, even of those who will most

eft of the following short article which appeared in
the London Daily Meas, the 10th of last Novem-
Der, and which seems to us very much to the pur-
eta>~Accordng to some recent information from New
Rugby, Mr. Hughess colonsts are not as delighted
with their Tennessee home as they at first expected
to be- They grumble because there are great many
trees on the land which will have to be cleared and
because the soil is very good 1t highly prob
able that a good many of the New Rugby settlers
went out with purely ideal New Rugby in their
minds, a sort of Earthly Paradise or Cockane Coun-
try,where there would be very little to do, and where
the 'roughing it would be of very mild type. 1t
was no fault of the founders of the colony if any
chose to think of it Martin Chuzzlewit thought of
Eden when he studied the map and saw all the signs
of large and thriving city displayed upon it New
Rugby cannot emulate the palace which Aladdin ran
up in single night. 1t depends for its existence
upon the strong purpose and the strong arms of the
majority of its colonists, and will doubt tax both
pretty heavily before it can flourish. Persons whose
ideas of colonization based upon study Of that
improving work. the Swiss Family Robinson,
and who expect the same unvarying good fortune
to befall them that accompanied those memorable
wanderers, are of course likely to find disappoint-
ment when they apply their theory to practical life.
They will not find everything to their hand as the
heroes and herones of the book beloved by child
hood did, and they must soon learn that there is
plenty of tough work before them. Mr., Hughes's
purpose was to found colony of workers, not to
scheme out pleasure picnic"

patent Of their claims, before
knowing them t. be OF great
value, as a certain preventive
OF any future litigation in regard

to be Of any value, and the OWn-

spring up on every side and a

results in, if not the loss of the

We firmly believe that Arizona a
will be "proIific Of disappoint-
ments " Every Indication from
her mines and mining districts
shows this, but the disappoint-
ment will be to those who perpe-
trate and believe such statements
as the one quoted. There may
be exceptions to the rule, but it
may be questioned whether those
correspondents Of religious, pO
litical, or financial newspapers,
VIII .ch attempt to gain credit by
aiding an emasculated mining
department have conferred any
real benefit upon mining indus
try.
Since January, 1881, seven Ari-
zona mining companies have
made public announcement OF
dividends amounting to $780,
600, and the total dividends OF
Arizona mines makes footing Of
nearly S4,O0O,OOO, and none have
made assessments during the
present year. The bullion output
of the Tombstone district alone,
during the past six months, by
official figures, is shown to be So
100000. 1t is too early to pass the
sentence Of condemnation and
