Stick to the Farm Young Man.

Tt is not often that we undertake
the lob of lecturing our fellow-men,
hut the following from the Vicks-
burg Planters Journal contains 50
much Of truth that we reproduce 1t,
knowing that it fits SO many cases
within a radius Of decidedly limited
proportions
The agricultural year, now draw
ing to a close, has not been an en-
couraging one to the votaries OF the
noble calling, and many farmers
son will look to obtaining place IN
the village store or city mercantile
establishment. To such We would
say "Stick to the Farm It at
least offers independence Of action,
freedom from temptation, and q
substantial living. The salary OF
the clerk whether in the village or
the city, is rarely more than enough
to pay board and buy clothes, and
it is attended with servile and trucu-
lent work, at once destructive OF in
dependence of thought and freedom
Of action. In short it is little. less
than slavery. Even if the conf
dence of the employer is won and a
remunerative salary obtained, il
must be many years before a sutfi-
Gent saving Ia made to engage IN
business for himself. And too Of
ten is the case that, after years Of
toiling in the sharp conflict Of busl-
ness life, he will find himself broken
in health and estate and but toe
willing to return to the quiet and
Independence of the little farm
which he left years before full o.
hope Of success in the restless worlo
Of business - preserved to hin
against just such an issue through
the steady and systematic efforts o

in the country church yard. The
professions offer little more than the
trade world. Thousands Of briefes
lawyers and physicians without pa

harrassed by debts and anxiety tina

great majority Of clerks never lis

luxurious enjoyment, IN the World.
What makes the pinch of hard times
is that under the affection of a NOR
Al distemper which chills confidence
and paralvzes action, too little goes
into general distribution out of an
aggregate fund which is q healthier
condition of thought and feeling,
would be unlocked to yitalize all the
springs of enterprise and diffuse
cheerful activity and solid prosperi-
ty throughout the land. But how
is the horrid spell of hard times as
a moral to. be broken? This is a
question not easy to answer. But
certainly good way to combat the
distemper is to recognize its exis-
tence and it's character, and to Gull
tivate and encourage, as far as pos
sible cheerfullness fand confidence
instead of doubt, gloomy apprehen-
sion and timid inaction, and IN this
way to get idle money into circula-
ton and all the natural currents OF
trade and industry into healthy mo-
ton. The outcome must depend
very much upon the gregarious IN
stinct Of mankind. In the business
panic which usually introduces a
| period of hard times, as a rule the
individual is lost in the hurrying
crowd. AS a rule every one goes,
or tries to go, as he sees others go.
And all this only intensifies the dis
astrous excess Of reaction. It was
remarked years ago by Bagehot, an
able English writer on banking, that
when credit had too greatly expand
ed and panic was threatened, the
true way for powerful bank to
avert commercial disaster was not
to Unfortunately curtail its credits
and accommodations, but rather
with iudi.ious liberality to extend
them. But banks are human they
also usually give way to the grega9,
rious instinct, and some of them il
doing SO, work their own rum. L
is the wise bank or the wise finan
cier that refuses as far as possible
to 90 with the crowd, resists thu
binding and paralyzing spell Of hare

and explores resources and seize
opportunities which others neglect
4 few conspicuous and Influential
examples of confidence and thrift
activity might go very far at TIN
moment to dissipate the malady {

The Georgia Legislature has just
taken action that looks toward the
recognition Of woman's rights. Mr..
Martin Calvin of Augusta, on We'd
nesday, moved that the clerk Of the
House employ ladies instead of men
to do all clerical labor. This gave
rise to debate, in which it was adj
mitted on all sides that as women
have to bear the burdens of taxation
and liability to law they should
have an equal chance at the emolu-
ments and privileges OF the govern
ment, and that true public policy
dictated that every avenue should
be thrown open to merit and not to
sex. A motion to table was over
whelmingly defeated and Mr.. Cal
wins resolution was adopted.

valuable Hints and information.

In all cases, if there has been
paralysis, there is visible a small
white circle around the pupil Of the
eve, between that and the iris.
According as persons thumb
naturally inclines inward towards
the palm, more or less, 50 is the
health of that person, and a decided
iina0drd inclination indicates serious
illness.
The Professor who stated this as
a fact, first asked his class to raise
their hands; he also said that the
thumbs of a drowned person always
assume this inward inclination in a
marked degree.
Eminent physicians state as fact
that paralysis need not be feared, if
the bowels are kept open.
Rather than drink much cold wa
ter in hot weather, pour it over the
wrists to cool the temperature.
In dropping medicines from a
vial, always hold the label-side up
permost, to keep the label clean.
Have no wooden carpets on the
floor of a sick-room. Those made
from cork, are almost noiseless, easy
to keep clear and better every way.
Put all the medicines and appli-
ances out of sight until wanted, and
allow no food, drink or fruit by the
bedside waiting the patients will,
but bring it when wanted.
Do not allow chamber vessels to
remain moment longer than neces-
sary.
Rhe is able, let the patient tell
the pgoctog his feelings, etc, the
nurse giving a full account to the

out an btir of secrecy. tt is easily

if the PITT mt insists, tell the truth,
which often IS not as bad as he fear
ed, and generally quiet.rest will fol-

a constant inclination of the sick
to slide down from the pillows to-
ward the foot Of the bed, indicates
serious illness.

City tea-kettle by appointing all

partment in the New Orleans

SO far away from home to select q
lady to preside over the Woman,s
Department. After having accept

more graceful and appropriate had
she chosen her assistants, or some

Hard Times.

The condition called hard times
is largely a moral distemper rather
than the prevalence Of actual finan-
cial distress. It has been found
that communities, like individuals,
men taken collectively, like men
taken separately, are subject to
periodical moods of depression and
reaction. In such cases the impulse
of reaction comes from some real or
imaginary excess. There is a vivid
Impression that activity in some di-
rection or all directions has gone
too far, and that retreat is the only
escape from impending calamity.
AT present this feeling is almost a
underworld epidemic with reference
to various lines of industry and
commercial speculation. There is
a general disposition to draw back,
to hold back, to. clutch more firmly
what is in hand; to tighten the
purse-strings; to distrust the future /;
to doubt security /; to doubt oppor-
tunity to doubt all things but the
distempered vision of a panic -strick-
en- conservatism. Then rise up a
host of expositors and philosophis-
ers to tell what produced the hard
times and to explain the causes OF
the mighty trouble. As all must
see something is aniss in the pres
ent situation, and something is
wanted to set it right; but the able
labors Of these lay-preachers, with
which the press is teeming, enly
serve to mYstify the problem. On
some points of explanation they
differ greatly, but on one point they
are una voce pretty firmly anchor
ed. They agree that the immediate
cause of the trouble is general over
production. Yet in the face of this
alleged over-production there is &C
tual distress Of scarcity and under
consumption. IL is, indeed, strange
that people can not see the arrant
nonsense of talking about such a
disaster as overproduction spread
ing want through the land on
through the world. It is true that
here or there may more be produced
at a given price than may be sold at
a given profit, or perhaps at any
profit at all. But nothing IS more
certain than that every useful arti-
Gle Of food, raiment or shelter, and
every conceivable article Of luxury,
may be disposed Of, and go into use
or consumption, at some price Or
upon some terms. There is not, IN
short, too much wealth, too much
material for substantial comfort or

A Small Adventure.

While living in camp, many years
ago, the writer acquired the faculty
Of rousing from sleep on the slight
est unusual sound, and even now,
instantly wakes up when anything
occurs to make strange noise.
Thus, during a recent night, I
suddenly found myself sitting up in
bed with eyes wide open, and be-
came aware that some one was
fumbling at my chamber door.
Quietly springing out of bed, I
grasped a heavy paper-weight, and,
with nerves strung up to their high
est tension, stood prepared to meet
the burglar, assissin or whoever he
might be with desperate defense.
At such time, one thinks with
great rapidity, and my arm was
carefully extended SO as to hurl the
weight straight against the centre of
the desperado's forehead; which
would be likely to knock him sense
less without the danger OF ending
his life, as would be the case if it
hit him little on one side,
After few seconds, the door,
which had been shut but not actu-
ally latched, swung gently open,
and in walked-our cat.
The reaction Of feeling caused by
this comical denouement, was one
of those things which do not admit
of description; and a would-be
catcher of night providers, returned
to the embrace of Morpheus, with
kitty curled up on the outside Of his
bed and purring in the most con.
tented manner.

st. Mary Herald; There is GER
tainly growing sentiment in Loui-
siana in favor of prohibition. The
''No License" law has been adopted
in great many wards in the par
ishes of this State. It is estimated
that 100000 will cover all the
school expenses for Louisiana, an
nually, and it is known that more
than 4, 100000 dollars are annually
thrown into the trenches where
misery and crime terminate. Just
think OF it! -Four million dollars !!
More than twice the value of the
sugar and rice crop combined. The
claim that the money received for
the privilege Of selling Intoxicating
liquors goes into the State Treasury
and from there to educate the youth
and suppress crime, is all bosh'
The privilege for which the money
is received is the fountain Of all
crime and debauches the youth.

Sugar and the Tariff Question.

Mr.. Burns, of Missouri, is one
Democratic congressman who would
reduce revenue by taking the duty
off sugar. This course is in the IN
terest of protectionists who make
ten-fold more by what is not i'm
ported in their line Of goods than
the government makes by what IS
imported in that line. If the party
does not make any better tariff re-
form than taking off the sugar du-
ties, the people will conclude the
party leaders are false to their cause
and afraid to antagonize those pro
tected interests of the most oppres-
sive character.-Galveston News.
The sugar question in this State
at present is one Of vital Importance.
No other question is discussed with
such little regard for principle and
from such purely selfish stand
point. We Of North Louisiana,
having bat little interest at stake,
and being interested in the welfare
and PROSPERITY Of the State, ought
certainly, if anybody can, view it
in the right light, and being Demo
Gratis from a Democratic standpoint
That the country needs tariff re-
form all are agreed on. To reform
the tariff, means to reduce and save
the people as much as possible, on
the principle of the greatest good to
the greatest number. Of course it
would be a great advantage TO the
sugar planter to have the tariff on
sugar increased-it would be so
much money in his pocket. II this
was done d thousand other indus
tries would be crying for the same
thing, so the rariff cannot be raised
consistently and viewing the case
from a Democratic standpoint. 70
reduce the tariff on sugar would be
an injustice to the planter, unless
everything else was reduced in pro
portion. The truth of the question
is, the sugar planters principles be-
ing governed by their pocket affinity
causes them to want and contend
for more than they can reasonably
expect. We believe in giving the
sugar planters justice, and there il
one thing certain, the tariff on al
articles. will have to be reduced il
order to get rid Of the surplus ane
; save the people unnecessary bur
! dens. If the present tariff under
: protective regime does not give tn
J sugar planter living chance, W
cannot see how he can expect an,
better under the tariff reform regim
: now about to take place. II h
cannot make a living in the palmies
days of protectionism it only goes t
prove that the free trade argumen
is good that protective tarii
! causes people to engage in unproft
! able industries. The sugar industr
would therefore seem to be unproft
able, as it seems it would be profit
: able to raise something on the rich
? est lands on earth. IF the hi
! planter can make living on lam
: that produces one bale of cotton t
? three acres, the sugar planters ough
to make living on land that vii
: produce two bales of cotton pc
a acre.

: iusted and then give us horizonta
