THE New York papers and Indian Com
missioner Price are unanimous in declaring
that the people of Washington are all
scoundrels or idiots. As they all came
from the States originally, we don't know
but that the N. Y. p's and Price are correct
in their Judgment. They ought to know
their own people better than we do.

TIE DEMAND for country board within
dozen miles or so Of this city seems to out
Iun the supply, and good prices are readily
obtained by persons offering comfortable
accommodations within reach of line of
railroad. The erection Of houses especially
adapted for the entertainment Of summer
boaIders would be good investment, if
undertaken by those who already own land
in suitable locations. Where land in such
locations has to be bought for the purpose
the price asked is often so high as to dis
courage this kind of enterprise, and in this
the landowners stand in their own light,
since the sale OF small portions of their land
for building purposes at prices that would
tempt buyers would raise the value of
all the rest, by creating settlements which
would increase the local demand for farm
produce. Many Maryland farmer might
find it profitable to give one-tenth of his
land away in acre lots on condition that
certain specified improvements be male
within year or two. The different rail-
read companies, too, would consult their
own advantage by offering such facilities in
the way Of trains, sidings at stations, &C.. as
would tend to make residence in the
country convenient for men whose daily
occupation is in this city. No other Amer
lean city has so large percentage of people
whose occupation would conveniently per-
NIT their residence in the country, and if
proper encouragement were afforded, the
growth of settlements along our different
lines of railroad would be very rapid.

HENRY CRAWFORD TUCKER, of Colqutt
County, Georgia, is remarkable man.
Born in 1905, he commanded company in
the Creek war. After sheathng his sword
be donned the garb of Baptist preacher,
and for forty-seven years he has preached
the Gospel without pay. Besides these
claims to distinction Mr.. Tucker can point
with pride to his well.nigh unparalleled
matrimonial record. He has been married
three times, is the father of 81 children, 81
of whom are living, and one of them in the
Legislature. All told his living descend
ants number l60. Who can beat the record
of this good old Hardshell Baptist?

THE manufacturers of cotton-seed oil ara
in convention at Chicago. McGeoch, the
failing lard speculator, having charged that
leading brand of prime steam lard was
adulterated with cotton-seed oil, leading
manufacturer of the latter article in an in
terview says:
IT improves 1t. But tho lard spoils the oil.
There is no necessity for mixing them. Both
ore better without the other, while oil for
cooking purposes is far ahead OF lard.
This would be reassuring if it were not SO
mixed. The "oil don't (sic) hurt the
lard, "but the lard spoils the oil" while
"both are better without the other" The
proverbial astute Philadelphia lawyer is
needed as an interpreter"
