Ben Butler and Virginia.

Ben Butler has been employed
in railroad suit in Richmond, and
in his speech in reply to a compi-
ment that he is now the friend of
Virginia, said: -
'fHow bad it is to be a young
man. Now that it has many ad-
vantages, it ought to have it's dis
advantages, and one of the disad-
vantages is to my learned friend
that he cannot remember that al
most before he was born, and for
more than twenty-five years of my
manhood, until arter the year 1860,
Virginia had no stauncher defender
of its rights than [. Everywhere,
upon every forum, ON every occa-
sion. almost to my social ostracism,
where he and l differed, did
stand by Virginia for State rights
and the rights of Virginia under
the Constitution, and | suffered
social ostracism in 1860 for it.
But.when Virginia broke her con-
stitutional obligation she released
me and everybody else, and 1 did
The very best 1 could to take care
of her in what l believed her wrong
course, as L am now ready to pre-
serve her rights. Whenever she is
right she will find me on her side
whenever she is wrong, on the
other side. AS lawyer, however,
I should defend her if I thought
she was wrong, if my retainer led
in that direction. That is my
bounden duty" Laughter.

The COlOred EldOrad0.

The tide of black emigration
from the Southern to the Western
States has, curious to say, been ar
rested with the close of the Presi-
dental campaign. According to
the Southern journals the black
man has ceased to turn his eyes
Kansasward, and the Georgia and
Alabama negroes who, under the
leadership of political demagogues,
all last summer and last fall were
taking up the line of March to In
diana and other Western States are
now moving into the rich cotton
belt in the Mississippi Valley and
the sugar fields of Louisiana. In
an economic point of view this
change in the current of black en-
igration is fortunate for the colored
man himself and the country. The
South is the natural home of the
black race, and the vexatious
problems of politics once solved,
as they are steadily being solved,
there can be no doubt that the
blacks Will be happier and more
prosperous there than they could
ever become in the West, with it's
keen and eager competition. The
demagogues who took so deep an
interest in the Southern blacks a
few months ago are now hanging
around Washington looking for
office under the incoming Admin
istration. They have no further
use for the black man as an "exo-
duster. - New York Herald.

Young men who threaten to kill

Young men who threaten to kill
themselves unless certain ladies
marry them, and succeed by this
cowardly trick in leading their
adored ones to the altar, will be
disgusted to learn that recent de-
cision pronunces such marriages
forced and consequently invalid.
Still the world would be better off
if the ladies refused in the first
place and let the love lorn idiots
kill themselves.

GARFIELD AS A FARMER.

A Mentor correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes
General Garfeld's farm contains
l55 acres. 1t lies twenty-five miles
east of Cleveland, fronting on the
old wagon-road from Cleveland
to Buffalo, and the Lake Shore
Railroad runs through it. The soil
is rich, sandy loan, and is. very
productive. The fences are kept
ill good repair and are the best in
the township. When General Gar
field purchased the farm, about
four years ago, there were eight
acres Of sw,snp land near the cen
ter of it which was considered al
most worthless. The Generals
knowledge of engineering here came
into practical use, and under bis
personal supervision the swamp
was drained. 1t is now very valu-
able land. Besides, the drains fur
nish constant and available sup
ply of pure water, which, by means
of hydraulic ram, is forced up
to the elevated site of the house
and barns, where it is used.
The General has herd of 26,
mostly grade Durhams, but there
are three Alderney COWS and one
tn ,roughbred Alderney bull. The
latter was presented to Gen. Gar
field by Hon. A. S. Hewitt before
the unfortunate unpleasantness
growing out Of the Morey- Chinese
letter. ''There hangs tale." At
the last session of Congress, after
the hot debate on the 'sriders' to
the Appropriation bill, General
Garfield and Mr.. Hewitt were en-
gagged in friendly conversation. 1t
will be remembered that Garfield
had denounced the action of the
Democrats as revolutionary. Said
Hewitt General, I have some
fine Alderney stock, and I will
send a thoroughbred bull calf to
you on one condition" s'What
is the condition?'' asked Garfield.
"That the bull shall be named by
me,'' said Hewitt. ''All right"
said the General, "and what name
will you give?'' Revolution"
said Hewitt. ''Well," reioined the
General, sit shall be that if you
say so, but I think a more appro-
pirate name would be "Congres-
sional rider" The calf soon came
to the falm, and bears the name
that the donor gave him. The
milk from General Garfield's dairy
is carted to the railway station ev-
cry morning and evening, and
shipped to the Cleveland market.
Near the barn is a small building,
in which is kept a steam-engine,
used for saving wood, cutting food
for the stock, etc. Besides the
stock already mentioned, there are
eighteen thoroughbred Cotswold
sheep, and dozen swine of the
Berkshire and Poland China breeds.

Notwithstanding the alleged depre-
dations of visitors, very fair crops
were harvested as the result of the
past years work. From fifteen
acres of corn there we're husked
l,O3O bushels; seven and a half
acres OF wheat averaged 33 bushels
per acre; fourteen acres of oats
yielded 575 bushels; six acres cf
barley, 24O bushels; eight acres of
rye, 272 bushels; from thirty-tive
acres of meadow were harvested Is
tons of hay, and. two acres of man
gel wurzels yielded 500 bushels.
There is also small buckwheat
crop not yet thrashed. There are
fifty acres of pasture. There is
small orchard, which bore this wear
about 500 bushels of apples. The
farm, with the improvements made
on it by Gen. Garfield, is estimated
to be worth s25,OOO. General Gar
field has the reputation among his
neighbors of being good farmer
one of the best, indeed, in this
region, where good farmers abound.
They tell me that he manifests a
deep interest in everything pertain
ing to agriculture and stock-raising.
He finds recreation in farm work,
and personally takes a hand in it
whenever he can find time to do SO.
Although he has three men en-
ployed on the farm and several SER
wants about the house, he is in the
habit of doing many little chores or
errands that may come in his way.
