DR.. L. Fernand, of this city, a short
time ago laid on our table leaf sample
of home grown tobacco, fresh cut. He
has now sent US another sample half dry.
1t is of the Oronoco variety, and seems
to do quite as well here as the native and
other imported varieties As he promises
to furnish us with some of the seed, we
shall be glad to see some Of our tobacco
growers give them fair trial next year.
The Oronoco brand of tobacco, We
believe, stands very high in the markets
of the country, and it will be decided
advantage to this section if our farmers
can make its cultivation success. Our
whole Southern soil from Northern
Kentucky to Southern Florida) is, more
or less, suited to the growth of tobacco,
and il is strange that. with our vast areas
of cheap lands, we give up its cultiva-
ton almost exclusively to the Northern
and border States. Our light hummock
lands, and our first and second quail
ity of pine lands, are well
adapted to its production,
and as it can be brought by women and
children to high perfection-and that in
the open wood, without the expense of
fencing-it is surprising that large pro-
portion of our population is not employ
ed in the easy cultivation of this profit
able plant 1t does not demand labori
Gus employment if too much is not I'M
dertaken, and since children can in a
few days be taught how to keep down the
worms, which alone endanger the crop,
thousands of acres, now idle, might,
with a little enterprise, be made to yield
large annual profits
In the suburbs and near neighborhood
of our. Southern cities, where so many
cOlored youngsters are in absolute
idleness, with no prospect of immediate
employment outside of politics, the cul-
tivation of tobacco might be carried on
to great advantage, to say nothing or the
improved healthfulness of miasmatic
localities turned by it into state of cul-
tivation Fencing not being necessary
to preserve the crops against
the depredations of cattle is another
great point in its favor, since our un-
fenced lands could then everywhere be
utilized. The plant needs only to be
worked with the hoe, and sheep are the
only animals. we believe, that have been
known to feed upon it. AS they are not
very numerous around our cities, or
likely to prosper in such localities out.
side of the enclosures Of their owners,
no trouble need be anticipated from that
quarter. This subject of tobacco culture
is well worth consideration.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun, who evinces great familiarity with
the manufacture of liquors, asserts that
high wines cost the distiller not less than
81 IA per gallon, of which cost the
greatest item is the internal revenue tax
of 80 cents. The correspondent asserts
that, notwithstanding the above fact,
high wines have been sold for several
years at an average price of 81 0S,
which is clear loss of cents per gal
Ion. He quite plainly hints that the tax
is not honestly collected, and says: ut
is not the little moonshiner who needs to
be looked after 1t is the big sunshiners.
The sooner this internal revenue bust
ness is understood and Strengthened out,
the less money the Republican party
will have to run the elections with.
The Hon. Green B. Raum, who is book
ed for sundry efforts in Maine, will prob
ably not care to enlighten the voters of
that State in the above mentioned prem

Tho present year promises to be
memorable in the history of Arctic OK
plorations There are at present no less
than nine expeditions either in the Arctic
regions or preparing to go thither; Mr..
Leigh Smith in the Ezra; Sir Allen
Young in search of the Ezra; Lieutenant
Cripps of the Jeanette; the Jeanette
search party; Nordenskjold, the Swedish
Arctic explorer; Lieutenant Havgaard,
the Danish officer Mr.. Assheton Smith
in the yacht Pandora; Sir Henry Gore
Booth in the Kara, and Dutch expedi-
ton. The Boston Post has reason for
its opinion that if, between all these,
there does not result an unusual account
of disasters and an unusually crowded
mortuary record, it will be because the
Arctic regions have forgotten their cum
ming.

The letter to Garfield from Dorsey, re-
Gently published, is confined to urging
the appointment of Juoge FOlger to a
Cabinet position. During Garield's
brief administration the suggestion was
UNDECIDED, but as soon as the work OF
Guiteau's pistol was accomplished, Fol
Ger was made Secretary of the Treasury.
From this it would seem that the great
star reuter- had considerable more infu-
ence with Arthur than with Garfield.

According to certain of the New York
papers, neither Conkling nor Cornell
will take any further notice of the
charges so industriously being circulated
against them. They cannot adopt any
such course and maintain their self
respect. If they keep silence it will be
almost positive proof that the one is a
briber and the other a condoner of
bribery. The charges are too serious to
be treated with silent contempt or dis
missed with a wave of the hand.

F-
 James. the Father
 From the Chicago Tiuss-l
 Basil Duke, of St Louis. attended college with Robert James. the father of the notori- ous Jesse and Frank. ''I see by some of the papers," said the colonel, ssthat the James boys came of bad parents. That is all wrong It was In 1S40 that I attended college at Georgetown, Scott county, Ky, and Robert James, the father of the boys, was then one of my classmates. The institution was pre- sided over by Howard Malcolm, and was then the enly Baptist college in the State At this time Robert James was twenty-one years of age, one of the oldest boys in the college, and he gave out that he had been sent there by the trustees of church at Russellville Ky The boys at school looked upon James as 8 high minded, honest fellow He was a gen. eral favorite and much esteemed. The boys at first called him Bob sJames, bat after while even this was abbreviated until he be- came universally known as Bob Jim He had been sent there to finish his education It was the custom in those days for congregs- tions who could not afford to hire & minister to call upon the college students James xes good speaker and was often favored with a call 1t was while he was preaching in one of the neighboring churches that he met Miss Cole, bright and pretty orphan girl of six teen Her parents had left her 8 neat prop erty valued at SlO.0O0, big sum in those days, and she was locked upon as a good catch for anyone. James proved the lucky suitor, married her quietly, and little later announced the fact to his classmates They were married in the fall of IS4I, and a year later Frank WAS born. His mothers parents were in hfe'looked upon as very respectable people, and she was always looked upon as a good girl In 1643 left the college at Rus sellville and went to Yale. Upon my return from the latter institution heard that Robert James and wife had gone to Missouri to live. Shs is the woman they -now call Mrs. Samuels-" As for Mrs SamueIs, he said she mad never shown herself to be bad woman, until melted by officers throwing lighted hand grenade into her house, which ex- ploded, killed her little boy and mutIlated her.
