HERE AND THERE.

The wealthiest city in the United
States, in proportion to population,
is Portland, Oregon.
The center Of population in the
United States, as shown by the new
census, is near Taylorsville, KY.
Dakota has more daily papers than
any of the southern states and more
than Tennessee and Arkansas to-
gether.
The danger on the Suez canal is
in the stoppage of the supply of
fresh water. The canal from the
Nile to Ismailia also supplies Suez.
The annual interest on the pub
lie debt had been reduced from
$4.29 per head at which it stood
in 1865, to $1.0S for every inhabi-
tant.
The armies under Caesar and Ma
poleon suffered dreadfully through
want of water in the plains of Egypt.
Caesar had wells dug in the sand,
walked all day at the head
of the army and fastened in disdain
of the Mamelukes to the Nile.
The wheat crop of the present
year will be almost unprecedented.
The Bureau of Agriculture places
the yield at 500,000,000 bushels,
while other authorities which claim |
to be equally as well or better in
formed place it at 100000, 900
bushels or more.
In the river and harbor bill this
year the southern states figure to
the extent of $4,96l, 500 and the
lorthern and western states get
81, 100, 500. The charge of some
northern journals that the south
got the largest share of the appro-
Driations is thus shown to be un
rue.
The Chicago Railway Age re-
ports 966 miles of new railway laid

The Boilers, M istake.

The great mistake of the boilers,
it seems to us, is their failure prop
erly to consider the adaptation of
the means they have adopted to the
end they have in view. 1t is not
that their solicitude for the honor
of the state is reprehensible, but
that their choice of methods is i'll
advised. This question of the
settlement of Tennessee's debt is
not a mere matter of sentimental
Justice. 1t is not a mere question
of ethics in which regard for a
principle forbids all consideration
of circumstances or of expedients.
1t is essentially practical question;
one which must be considered in. the
light of existing conditions; a mat
ter in which any honest course is
commendable in exact proportion to
the degree in which it contributes
to the accomplishment of a wise
and honorable purpose.
The boilers object-to give them
credit for honesty in their inten-
tiOns-is to effect a permanent set
Element of Tennessee's debt on a
basis honorable to the state and
satisfactory to their creditors; and
unless they adopt measures that are,
in view of existing circumstances,
best calculated to subserve this end
they have no claim to consistency
and no title to confidence. How
is the question they ought first to
consider-is permanent settlement
of the debt to be effected. Does any
sane man believe that a settlement
that does not meet the approval o.
the democratic party can be sus
tanned. The answer to this ques
ton shows the weakness of the
boilers position; for it is evident
that he who works to keep the
democratic party out of power il
working in the interest of continued
agitation. The Fussellites can no
hope to do more than elect Hawkinl
and a republican legislature; ant
while the republicans are in power
until the majority party of the STATE
regains its ascendency-the deb
can never be permanently settled
The duty of all who are concerned
for the honor of the state is there
fore clear; it is to vote and work fol
the election of Gen. Bate and {
| democratic legislature.

some of the greatest efforts of Null

Wide Awake Farmers.

We learn that Mr.. A. J. Smith,
Spencer Leatherwood, Z. V. Holland,
F.W. Smith, A. J. Wright and a number
OF farmers from Lincoln county have
gone to Athens, Ala, and supplied
themselves with Cotton Cleaners
through T.J. Cox, the general agent.
The Alabama Courier is urging the
planters to use them, as IL will pay them
richly. They cost but little and will pay
for themselves in a few bales. Our
farmers should use every means TO ia
crease the value of their cotton and this
is one of the surest, Every ginner In
our county ought to get one from him.
Besides this really very useful machine
he has gins, presses, powers, etc.

The scarcity of eggs is believed
to be on account of the hens get
ting ON a strike. The chief rooster
at Pittsburg has ordered the hens
to strike owing to the introduction
of steam for Matching chickens.
The "Amalgamated Chicken and
Egg Association" argues that if the
chickens are to be Matched by
steam that the people who hatch
them, thus doing the work of the
hens by machinery, may also lay
the eggs. This will eventually
bring the chicken hatchers to time,
as they know perfectly well that
they cannot lay eggs by steam.
The hens are right, and the Sun
will stand by them until they gain
their point. That is the kind of a
rooster the Sun is.-[Peck's Snn.

and about eighteen inches deep
Put into it one or two ounces Of
saltpetre, fill the hole with water
and plug it close. In the ensuing
spring take out the plug and pour
in about a gill of kerosene oil and
ignite it. The stump will shoulder
away without blazing to the very
extremity of the roots, leaving moth
ing but ashes"
