Noble Thoughts.

Nothing is so reasonable and cheap
as good manners.
All who joy would win must share
it. Happiness was born to twin.
As the rolling stone gathers no moss
so the rowing heart gathers no aflec-
ton.
The true grandeur of humility is in
moral elevation sustained, enlightened
and decorated By the intellect of man
1t is in vain to gather virtues with
out humility; for the Spirit of God
delighteth to dwell in the hearts OF
the humble.
The bore is usually considered a
harmless creature, or of that class of
irrational bipeds who hurt only them
selves
The true test Of civilization is not
the census, nor the size of cities, nor
the crops-no, but the kind Of man the
country tarns out.
lis a rule that goes a great way in
the government of sober mans life
not to put anything to hazard that
may be s cured by industry, consider
alton or circumspection.
He who does not resp ct confidence
will never find happiness in his path.
The belief in virture vanishes from
his heart, the source of nobler actions
becomes extinct in him.

Why the Faro Blnks Win.

There is something that great ma
ny clever men who play a great deal
against faro do not know. 1t is no'
that there is a steady percentage in
the banks favor in the cases Of splits
but that the banks play with the most
money, and the bank always wins in
the end. That is simple enough
proposition but is seldom understood
A bank with $25 600 cash has as ma
nv more chances OF winning in the end
the money of Il pl YER worth 500 AS
the banks pital is grei'er than the
plqver's. The PLAYER can ouly lose
his 800 once: the ba"k can lose tHo
hundred AMI fifrv tim before it has
reduced its chances To the PLAYER s.
In other words The chgnc. IN favor Of
the bank, rs qur'ed. in addition to
the percentage on 'sp'ifs' is two hun
dred and fifty to one. This is suScep-
tible of mathematical demonstration,
vt i'll be read with amazemant by
many who huck The tiger. The ordi-
nary player who goes with ten or twen-
ty dollars in a bank having 100000
to lose, can do little Sunday morn
ing work in figuring out his chances
of beating the bank.

farmers' Column.
Southern Farms and Farm Stock.

This is the way Mr.. Daniel bennett
the agricultural editor of the New
Orleans Picayune puts forth his views
which are certainly sound and practi
cal
If Southern farmers were out of al
debt and prosperous, and farm stock
always in good condition and well
cared for, the Southern people of all
honest callings and professions would
also be prosperous as natural conse-
quence. Then everybody has per-
sonal interest in the prosperity Of far
mers.
The only hope of Southern farmers
is in continually fertilizing their lands
and in providing good pastures, water,
shelter and winter food for their cat
tie. Impoverished fields and starved,
shelterless stock, will keep farmers
and their children poor to the eni of
time. Fertilizers pay even applied to
rich lands; without fertilizers poor,
worn out lands are not worth ten cts.
an acre. What most Southern farmers
need is a thorough stirring upon these
two vital questions of more fertilizers
and better treatment of stock-not
merely lectures and essays on these
subjects, but strong appeals to them
to take right hold and do something
more than merely to admit that these
things are so.
If all of our Southern agricultural
Journals would take hold of these mat
tiers and continually insist that far
mers commence putting them in prac-
tice at once, and if all the other jour
nails would assist in raising such
breeze upon these agricultural reforms
as they usually raise when they want
to watt candidate for Congress to
Washington, Southern agriculture

like green bay tree. Let Southern
lawyers and politicians give more at
tention to the agricultural interests
Of the South, and little less to par
ty interests, and their talents and all
skillful management and influence
would greatly stimulate farmers to get
out Of the old ruts and find better
track. Merchants can have great in
fuence with farmers, and should stu
dy closely the farmers interests. Me-
chanics and everybody else should
urge the Importance of the changes
we have mentioned, FIR they are all in
direct partners in connection with the
soil.
If by these united and potent influ-
ences the present farming population
of the State could be led to make two
bushels of corn and two bushels of
potatoes and of oats, and two tons Of
hay, and two hogsheads Of tobacco.
where they made but one, the State
would be rich and prosperous at once;
and we verify believe that the farms
of South in less than five years could
be made to double their agricultural
products, with no addition to the la
Dor whatever, but by fertilizers and
better husbandry.

Earliness Essential.

The agricultural Gazette says that
he who intends to succeed in agricul-
ture must be an early man, early IN
rising. early in getting in his crops,
early in reaping them, early in meet
ing his men, early in market, early at
home and early to bed. The youth
that cannot rise until he is called, who
will not get up when he is called, who
comes down to break fast in embroid-
cred slippers, and cannot move out of
doors until he has had his pipe. may
be good fellow, gentleman and
m nv other good things. but he is not
going to succeed as u farmer or in any
other rural occupation. He has mis-
taken his calling, and is himself mis-
take There is much in that good
old Saxon word early continues the
CARTE. 1T is the early sun that ri
pens the corn; the early bird that gets
the worm the early cabbage that gets
the price; the carly lamb that makes
the money; the early chicken that
pays the henwife; the early gooseberry
that commands the market the early
swarm that makes the honey the ear
ly sown wheat that fills the bushel
the early sown barley that pleases the
malster; the early sack of wheat that
attracts the miller; the early peas that
pay the rent; the early potatoes that
fetch the money; the early shepherd
that fattens the sheep; the early cart
er that pleases his master; the early
farmer that grows rich; the early wife
that keeps her maids; and the early
maid that keeps her place. Earliness
is the true road to success, and the
fact that so few can succeed in the
race of life is because so few can shake
off dull sloth and rise early. There
are some vocations in life in which
early rising is not necessary, but they
are chiefly those to which another and
equally wise saying applies, that you
cannot burn the candle at both of its
ends.

The railroad company will not permit

MONTROSE MURDER.
The Slayer of Nichols Says it
Was Done to Avenge an

From the Events Of Last Even

Adams is q Crank.
He Was a Former Citizen of

Identified by Several.

1t was also stated that the murderer and
the remains of his victim were brought to
Clinton and there left in charge OF the prop

the murderer with the sheriff
Mr. F. M. Cockrell. proprietor of the ex-
tenSive Touring mills At Dallas, Texas, in
whose employ the murdered man was,
passed through here last night on bis way
to st. Louis, but he had little additional in.
formation to impart. He Was taking Nichols
with him to 81. Louis, to have the benv6.
of his knowledge and experience rs a
machinist in purchasing new machinery
for his mills. Nichols, who was original
ly from Switzerland, bad resided in Dali
las for years, and was recognised as one OF
the most accomplished machiDis,s in the
south. He WAS between 80 AID 40
years of age, and had no family.
Public opinion seems to be divided in
Clinton a. TO the slayer OF Nichols, for
while some are of the opinion that he is a
crank, and rot responsible for his crime,
others think il was clear case of premed-
i,xled murder, for some insult,
real or fancied, received by Adams
from Nichols some two Or three years ago.
The prisoner himself says that be killed
the man he was after. who, according to
his statement, insulted him in a mill at
Dallas, two Or three years agO, and it has
ranked in his bosom ever since.
Adams is a single man but has a mother
living in CarrolltOn, Green county, ILL.,, to
which place he was enroute, but will prob
ably never reach now. He lived for a short
time, before going to Texas, with Mr..
Guano, near Br wilmington, in Henry coun-
iy. A number of gentlemen from that 10
cali,y called upon and recognized him
yesterday.
At the inquest held yesterday the jury
found verdict in accordance with the facts
as published, after which the remains Of
Nichols were inferred frvm under. aker
Jackson's es abli-hment. At tie grave the
Rev. Fsckler, a Presbyterian minister, de-
livered a prayer, the only service rem
dered
Yesterday evening Adams manifested
dangerous symptoms, refused to talk, and,
it is believed by physicians, will not live a
week.
