Chinese Infanticide.

We have all heard tle Chinsss
charged With infanticide. We believe
that crime to be les prevalent with
them than it lie with us. II children
are ever exposed, as has been seen
on wayside altar near Honam, we
believe that bitter want, and q hope
that charity would provide for the
child better than the mother could
have been the moving causes. As q
general rule, seIi-iRterest acts as the
strongest bar TO this vice. That the
life OF the children ebould be pre-
served is most important, as the Chi
L csc Law will compel their cons to
maintain their parents. and in the

Mississippi Rice.

In the poor pine woods counties
of Mississippi nearly every farmer
raises a patch of rice for family
use. In the fertile river counties
cotton and mortgages are the lead
ing products, and the cultivation
of grain and grass is almost lost
art. In order to encourage some
bottom planter to raise little rice,
Just to feed his mules, if not for
any other purpose, we publish the
following from a. planter in Pike
county, to show how easy it is to
supply a family with this healthy
and nourishing food:
Three years ago Hon. o. II. Sin
gleton franked me a package of
rice labeled "Golden Hull" up
land. Although little attention
has been given to its cultivation,
it has been a sure crop on poor
hill land. Last year it yielded at
the rate of thilty bushels to the
acre on extraordinary poor land.
J. F. SLADE.
Rice is very easily cultivated,
and any planter can spare an acre
of land to it's cultivation; and an
acre of our rich land would yield
enough to supply almost any plan
tation.

The Boss Corn Crop.

The yield of corn this year, it is
thought from the most reliable in
formation that can be obtained,
will be the largest ever known in
the country's history. The crop
of 1879 reached 1,754,0 100000 bush
els, and was the largest ever pro.
duced mp to that time. In 1886
there was falling off of about
$1,000, 900 bushels, and in the sue
ceeding year of 1881 the crop only
reached 1,194, 100000 bushels,-a
very heavy decrease. The crop o1
the present year is estimated al
1,SOO, 100000 bushels, which is al
increase of 80 per cent. over the
production of 1881, and 8 per cent
over that of 1880.

A very pretty story comes from
New York about four homeless
working girls who determined to
abandon the horrid boarding house
pool their earnings, and make
themselves as real home as can
be found beyond a parents roof.
They rented third story fiat and
began operations. They were poor
and were obliged to start with only
one room carpeted, n stove, some
chairs, clock, table, a few cups
aud dishes, knives and forks, aud
two mattresses, but no bedsteads.
Little by little the furniture was
increased; now by chair, next by
a bedstead, again by bureau, aud
so on until all the extras were adj
ded. One of the girls got $40 u
week AS a clerk in u Broadway
candy store; another got $40 or
sl2 somewhere else, and the fourth
was a dressmaker, and because
she worked at home they made
her housekeeper and stewart OF
the club. Until the house was
furnished all pooled their earnings
but since then each has paid every
Saturday a share graded in ac-
cordance with their income) of the
weeks expenses including stated
sum as salary to the stewardess.
The girls dress tastefully, and live
better than their neighbors. They
live along without quarreling, and
run their picturesque establish
ment according to rules framed
aud hung in the parlor. One OF
these rules is no member of the
club shall receive the visit of a
gentleman except in the presence
of at least one other member, and
that all the members who are il
the house shall be present in sucl
cases.

Great Sale Of Land in Texas.
Correspondence Times-DemOcrat.l ]

Correspondence Times-Demoerat.
Dallas, Tex, Nov. 6, 1882.
Capt. w. G. Veal returned to the
city yesterday, after an absence
of two months in New York.
While there he concluded the sale
of 100000 acres Of Texas lands
to an English company with which
he had been in negotiation for
long time. While most of these
lands are far out in Western and
Northwestern Texas, some of the
sections lie in the old counties aud
adjacent to railways in operation.
The idea of the English is speeu.
lation. They intend to sell alter.
nate plots to European immigrants
before they leave home, aud thus
equipped with two and FIVE hun
dred acres, they will go direct to
their possessions. While making
improvements they will be adding
to the value of the reserved tracts.
Lands now worth s2 and 80 will
thus be brought up to $40 and s25
in market v'lue. This is perfectly
feasible and practicable, and that,
too, IN a very few years. Why, /
have been in Texas only six years
and know plenty of places which
were bought in 1876 for a dollar
an acre, held at $50, town lots
which sold for s25 which have
since resold for $4,000. And there
is not the least question about real
estate going up faster in the future
than in tke past. Why mott Where
are the millions Of surplus people
of Europe to 80 in few yearsf l
tell you this little world of ours is
getting full faster than most peo-
pie think. Good, choice spots are
all already gone. Texas is the last
good chance for American farmers
beyond and north of the Mississip
pi to secure homesteads at price
they are able to pay.
English surveyors will soon ar
rive in Texas, and lay off the tracts
sold to Capt. Veal, and next spril
the advance colonists will begin tC
arrive. A portion of the purchase
will be devoted to cattle and sheel
raising.
