The New England mill hands have
begun an agitation in favor Of reduc-
ton Of the working time in the mills TO
ten hours day. It Is natural that The
manufacturers should oppose the reduc
ton, but they have chosen very singu
lar reason for their opposition. They
claim that if they give their hands any
more time they viii devote this extra
time to whisky, tobacco and other evil
practices, and thus demoralize them for
work. The only way TO keep them
thoroughly moral is to keep them busily
employed, except when they are eating
and sleeping.

THE CoTToN SEED On BUSINESS. A
conference of the cotton seed oil manu-
facturers of the South was held in Gin
cinnati during last week, and various
matters connected with the business dis
cussed. The transactions in this bust
ness now reach over $4,000, 600, and
the capital invested in it is over S., 000,-
600. The business has been of rapid
growth, and is assuming Importance as
another of the industries of the South.
The cotton seeds from the gin houses
were formerly used as manure or left to
rot in piles Within the last ten years.
however, their value as oil producers has
led to the building of over fifty oil mills
in the Southern States.

Governor Cornell is reported as having
said to a gentleman who called upon
HIM that if the Legislature should ad
journ without electing United States
Senators, he should be compelled
to reconvene it for the special
purpose Of filing the vacant places. He
is afraid of the people. and anxious to be
a Senator himself In a word, if the
Legislature should adjourn without
electing Senators, it would be such a
defeat of Conkling as would justify
Governor Cornell in being a candidate
himself He would, therefore, recall the
Legislature. Well, it's none of our fight.

Meat for Fowls.

Editor Of the Florida Agricultu1iSt:
While it is generally conceded
that fowls must have meat in some
shape for food, the question is daily
raised how is it best to provide tor
it. Where there is but one variety
kept and the fowls have wide range
to run over, they will find, probably,
grasshoppers and other insects
enough TO keep them healthy, but
parties that, like myself, keep many
different varieties, must necessarily
confihe them liz small enclosures, and
provide meat in some other form. |

after Florida would rather hear what
had been done, instead of what mag
be done. Twelve years ago fonr
families moved to this neighborhood
from South Carolina-the writer
being one OF the four--the money of
the four families put together would
not exceed $500. We paid no atten-
ton to orange growing, but COM
menced farming. which we followed
for three years; making only suffi-
clency to support our families. We
then commenced to plant out orange
trees. The poorest one Of the mum.

wife and TWO children. He built
small house to live in; closedin lit

cultivated as best he could the most
OF his time being taken up in secur-
my support for his family. Every
winter he would add little to his
grove. And now l will give the
result Of his nine years labor. He

never had to pay doctors bill, and

nine or ten thousand dollars A
Northern gentleman, and one who
appeared TO be Il man OF intelligence,

was bis, he would not take $4,000
for it.

Christian at Work.

The true ties; Of any religion Is
the effect it produces upon the lives
of those who profess it. Aud, in
deed, the test Of real merit every.
where must be the power it possesses
of accomplishing desirable results.
In this age OF the world men are not
judged by what they claim to be able
to do, but what they can do; not by
what they are reputed TO be, but by
what they are. Here is where the
religion OF our own country rises SUI
perlor TO the latin of Mohamnedan
or Hindoo lands; for while there is
much hypocrisy in the church, and
far too much worldIiness, there is yet
an absence of those sensual and bru-
tai elements which characterizes the
religions OF Arabia and the Ganges.
This principle is equally true i'll all
other departments OF life. The
same rule which applies to persons is
equally applicable TO things. I'm
questioned merit must characterize
them all, or they cannot be accepta-
bic, much less popular. The clear

short line since. In this lecture SO
many truths were brough: to light
bearing directly upon, and efeciing
the interests Of, the entire community.
These facts, as stated by The doctor
in his lecture, have been discussed in
the columns of the religious press to
considerable extent in the past, land
that, too by very prominent person
ages. A few years ago the Rev. }.
E. Rankin, D. d., of Washington,
who is prominently known among the
Congregational denominations of the
country, published an article on the
same subject which drew forth most
bitter replies from prominent physi~
clans, and in response to these arti-
cles Dr. Rankin published lorg COM

Now, while very few people are
afflicted as severely as WAS DIR. Craig,
or the cases DR.. Rankin refers to,
still it is lamentable fact that the
great majority of people, in all parts
of the land, are suffering to a greater
or less extent from ill health and that
this lack of health arises from either
disordered klndeys or liver. Some
additional facts, from the highest
sources, of special interest upon
subject of such importance to the
community, nave, therefore, been
