THE NINRTY-AND-NINE.
There are ninety.and.nine that work an,

There are ninety-and.nine that work anC
die,
In want and hunger and cold,
That one may live in luxury,
And be Tapped in the silken fold,
And ninety and nine in their novels bare,
And one in a palace with riches rare.
From the sweat of their brows the deser
blooms,
And the forest before them falls;
Their labor has builded humble homes,
And cities with lofty halls.
And the one owns cities and homes ant
lands,
And the ninety.and.nine have empty hands
But the night so dreary and dark and long
At last shall the morning bring;
And over the land the victor's song
OF the ninety.and.nine shall ring,
And echo afar, from zone to zone,
"Rejoicel for Labor shall have its own"

Telegraphic Shorthand.

For long time, and more particu.
larry since telephones have come into
common use, it has been seen that our
Geographic methods are open to very
great improvement. At present each
letter of every word transmitted re-
quires one or more distinct signals,
either by right or left reflections of
needle, or, as in the Morse method, by
dots and dashes. In Signor Nicholas
acknowledgement, which bids fair to
come into very extended use, this diff
Guilty is obviated. 1t works on the
phonetic system; that is to say, the
various sounds which go to make up
speech-be the language that common
to any European country-are grouped
into series and represented by certain
signs, each word being, as it were, dis
sected into sound-valves. The system
is, in fact, that Of Geographic short
hand, The transmitting instrument
consists of two key>boards, each having
ten keys, each key communicating
with style on the receiving instru.
ment, which prints sign representing
particular sound. With such an APP
paratus a skillful operator can tele.
graph words as they fall from the lips
of a speaker as readily as a shorthand
reporter can write them down. The
system has for sometime been in use
in the Italian Senate, and is now on an
experimental trial in Paris. Whether
it proves to be the telegraph of the fu-
ture or not, it most certainly is con.
structed on a correct basis.

Forked Fruit.

Crotched or forked fruit trees Of
any kind, says on exchange, can be
kept from splitting down by twisting
together one twig from each of the
main branches. These twigs thus
twisted together will in five years grow
into solid branch that cannot be
broken. Twigs which grow from the
lower part of the branches are prefera,
BILE for this purpose. If there are nc
such twigs on the branches a "water
sprout or Sucker" should be allowed
to grow; or one may be started by
nicely inserting a scion into slit be.
tween the bark and wood and securely
waxing it. Twigs from the size of q
lead pencil to half an inch in diameter
can be used for this purpose.

The Oldest Field in the County.

Spirit of the Farm.
We have upon our table specimens
of red clover and timothy from the
oldest field in Davidson county. This
field was first cleared and cultivated
by the oldest son of Gen. Robertson,
the pioneer OF Middle Tennessee, we
are informed, about eighty years ago,
and has been in continuous cultivation
ever since by the Robertsons and
Cockrills. The specimens of clover
are an average of the field, measuring
four feet long; one specimen is six
feet one inch. The timothy is FIVE
feet high, and has nearly three huns
dred stalks from one stool. This is
tangible proof that our farmers need
not wear their land out, but can suc-
cessfully cultivate it continuously with.
out deterioration yes, and improve it
all the while by succession of crops
and stock-growing, under judicious
management, as is demonstrated by
the owner of this field, Mr.. B. F.
Cockrill, who informs us that his land
is far more productive now than when
he inherited it, 25 years ago.

Avalanche; The origin of the word
"Tariff" is curious. The southernmost
point of the peninsular Of Spain, which
juts down into the Straits of Gibralta,
holds town named Tarifa, so named
from Berber chief who crossed over
from Africa to reconnoitre the country
previous to the conquest by the Moors.
After the Moorish conquest in I'll, a
castle was built on this spot, which
commanded the straits, and vessels pass
ing out or into the Mediterranean were
stopped and compelled to pay "duties"
on their cargoeS at certain fixed rates.
From this place and circumstance, the
word "tar!ff" passed into the English
and other European languages.

In all the heat and turmoil and
dissensions of last week, there was
one act of which all parties and divis-
ions could unite in approval-viz.,
the appointment of the Hon. Hugh
Mccullough to the head of the
Treasury Department. For this
President Arthur is to be thanked
and congratulated. Mr. MoCulloch
filled the same position in a former
Cabinet, being appointed by Mr..
Lincoln, and, after his death, serving
under Mr.. Johnson through the re-
mainder of the term, But the ad,
ministration of the department was
a hundred fold more difficult then
than now. The country was dark.
ened by financial and political
cloud, through which only the keen.
est Judgment and foresight could
penetrate. Mr.. McCulloch proved
himself the man for the position,
and won then, what he has since
maintained, the reputation of being
one of the greatest fnanciers this
country has produced. Such an APP.
pointment as his at the present time
ought to do much toward re-estab
fishing financial confidence through
out the country. 1t will certainly
strengthen the national esteem. fol

matter of appointments.

TILE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.

THE 1'hESlDENIiALI SN IEo1'
After several days of anxious
suspense and solicitude, the all alb
|orbing questionable final result of
| he Presidential contest-isno now def
nitely settled, and New York, upon
which State the election depended,
IF the figures as furnished are correct,
has given her electoral votes in ia
y0r of Grover Cleveland. We had
hoped that the general result would
have been otherwise, and have la
bored to that end, but in vain ii
would seem. The causes that have
contributed to this end might be
discussed at great length, but such
discussion would accomplish no
good, at present, nor would 1t
change the present aspect. The
democracy have secured their long
coveted opportunity of proving to
the country at large their capability
and fitness for government. The
use they will make of their newly
acquired power will be watched
& with the keenest interest. Finally
8 whatever feeling has been generated
during the campaign should nov
aooen Rnnrats at tho rnCnlt ar
useless. We bow to the expressed
will of the majority, be the latte
small or great, and accept the yer
dict, and it becomes the duty of al
reasonable people to do likewise
ole serves his party best who serve
his country best"
And now that the contest is end
ed, the HERALD will, as heretofore
support the Republican party an,
its principles, believing the party t
be the best organized expression o
the better sentiments Of the peopl
that can be found in this land, and
FIN this respect, far superior to tn
Democratic party, while the princi
pies of the Republican party hav
made it the most benefcent party
this country has ever had, AM
they are to-day permanently EN-
bqlmed in the record of its achieve
ments.
