For twenty years Thomas J. Turner wa.
the foreman of the Rev. Henry Ward
Heecher's farm at Peekskill. Turner died
in January, 1881, and lett an estate valued
at over 5000. He made will and he be-
queathcd his property to his friends his
church. etc, but when search was made
for the document it could not be found
and the original draft made by the surro-
gate was then admitted to probate. Not
alone the will, but large quantity of val
liable papers were missing such as mort
cages, deeds, etc, This has baked the ex.
coutors in makingan inventory of prop
erty, and they consequently placed the
matter before the surrogate for formal in

The tendency to cut up the plantations
in the southern states into small farms is
shown by the increase in the number of
farms in those states in the decade from
1870 to lSS0, In all the states having n
large negro population the number of farms
has grown much more rapidly than else.
where. The whole number of farms in the
United States in 1870 was 2,G599S In
1880 the number had grown to zoos O7, an
increase OF 80 per cent. Much of this in
crease was in the new states and terrific
ries, where the country before had been un-
occupied. In the old nOn-slaveholding
states the increase of farms, in the
ten wears, did not exceed % per
cent, while in the cotton states it ex-
ceeded 100 per cent. This is undoubtedly
u wholesome indication. There are in the
United States s ,0j5, SD dwellings. Compar-
ing this number with the number OF farms
it shows conclusively where the majority of
the people llveand what their occupation
is. II is not strange, therefore, that when
the crops fail, in whole or in part the effect
is felt in all business and is discernible in
the prices of all commodities. As the
classes which live on their accumulations,
and who, from any cause, have ceased pro-
duction, do not remain on farms the whole
rural population may be set down as pro-
ducers, and therefore constitute much the
largest part of the productive force of the
country. Whatever concerns or contrib
utes to the well-being and productive ener-
gies of the farmers of the United States de-
mands the very highest consideration.

Too Much Society

Perhaps the hardest worked persons in

favored children of fortune, who rejoice in
the name of society people. Think of it,
We gods thirty to forty balls, parties or

three to each and every dancer diner or

to the comparative dioptrics of the eye.

The eye OF the frog also behaves differently

well knowr-we assert this without fear of
contradiction-that a very large element of
the Colorado population IS engaged IN ship
building. The navy yard on Cherry
creek may not be the largest in the cOun-
try, but it is certainly the most complete in
all lis details, and the most perfect in its
management. The records show that dur
ing the past four years as many seagoing
vessels have been launched in Colorado
alone as in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,
Iowa and Illinois combined, and that Den
yer has more capital invested in marine en-
tcrprise than the combined adjacent cities
of Omaha, Topeka, Santa Fe, Cheyenne
and Kansas City. While the localities
and towns mentioned have undoubtcd
cause to regret the lax policy advocated by
Secretary Chandler, Colorado and Denver
have special reason for complaint The eN-
posed location of this state, and OF this city,
specially, is a constant reminder OF the ne
Cesslty of adequate naval protection IN the
event Of trouble with foreign powers. II

there is no prospect of any trouble
