GROWTH OF THE UNITED STATES,

The following statistics show the
growth OF the country since the year
1860
Twenty.three years ago we were 30
900, 900 of people; now we are over So.
100000
Then we had l4l cities and towns
of over 5000 inhabitants; now we have
2S6 of such cities and towns. Then the
total population of our cities was 5,OOO,-
600; now it is about IL, 900, 900.
Our coal mines then produced Ia, ,000,-
900 tons a year, now $1,000, 600 tons a
year, or six times as much.
The iron product amounted to 9O0,-
900 tons Of orr; to-day it foots mp over
100000 tons year, almost nine
fold increase.
In 1860 our metal industries en-
ployed about $4,000 hands, consumed
about $780, 1000. 600 worth Of material
and turned out about $50, coo. 600 in
annual products.
To-day these same industries employ
800, 900 hands, consume $3.50, 900, 600 Of
material, and their annual product
amounts to 5000, 900, 600 year.
In 1860 the wood industries en-
ployed 1906 persons; to-day they
employ $4,000, while the value Of
their annual product has trehled.
The wooden industry employed 60, :
O00 persons then. and now employ q
l60, 600, while our home mills, which
produced goods of the value OF $50
lOO. 900 in 1850, now turn out an an
nusl product worth s270. 900.
Finally, there is cotton. In 1850 we
imported 227. 900. 900 yards Of cotton
goods; in 1881 we only imported TO-.
100000.
In the meantime the number of hands
employed in American cotton mills has
increased to 200. 900. and we export
over $50. 600, 900 yards of cotton goods
year, instead of importing 227, ,OOO,-
600 ysrds, as we used to do. 1t.
The silk industry employed 5000
persons; now il employs about 81, 900,
seven times as many.
We import no more silk goods now
than we did in 1860, bu. our own mills.
which produced goods OF the value OF
81, 600, 900 then, now turn out pro-
duct Of over $40, 0O0 900 yearly.
In 1850, 1900 persons were en-
ployed in American pottery and stone
ware works; to-day about $4,000 are
employed in this industry.
The chemical industry, which en-
ployed 6,OOOl persons then. now EN-.
ploys $4,000.
In the meantime we have nearly five
times as many miles of railways and
double the number of farms, and yield.
ing more than double the number of
bushels of cereals. e fT.r
In the production Of sheep. we had
$4,000. 900 Of them In 1860. to-day we
haze. over 4O,OooOOO of them; land
whereas we then produced in this coun-
try 60. 600. 900 pounds Of wool. DOW we
produce 24O, 600. 900 pounds.
Finally. the total Of our exports has
doubled.
In 1880 it stood at $400. 900 900. and
dow it stands at about 5000, 900, 900. -

4 CHEERFUL SPIRIT.

The man or woman who always
reveals a cheerful spirit, will sue.
ceed in life. The pleasant face will
carry its possessor safely through
life in spite of every opposing
power. Smiles Will Danish the
darkness that gathers about every
life path, and the sunlight will fall
upon life's pathway, wherever a
cheerful spirit exists. The sun
beams will melt the iceberg and
dispel the darkest night that ever
brooded over the world, and so
sunny spirit will scatter the cold,
ness OF humanity, and bring bright.
ness and blessing to those about
it.
If there is anything .repulstve
about buman being, it is fretful
spirit and a sorrowful face. If
there is anything utterly repelling
and disgusting, it is the sour
visaged one who cannot smile or
wear q cheerful look, but who con-
tinually broods over his misfortunes,
and so keeps on the shadowy side
OF everything. Gods sunshine is
nothing to him, any more than the
sunlight of Heaven is to the pois
onous nettleweed under the shadow
of the Shiny rock, or deuse shrub
berry. His dwarfed and selfish spirit
is as nearly like the nettleweed as
it can be, or like anything else that
grows in gloom and darkness.
A cheerful spirit is one Of the
most valuable gifts ever bestowed
upon humanity by a kind Creator.
1t is the sweetest and most fragrant
flower of the Spirit-that con-
stantly sends out it's beauty and
fragrance, and blesses everything
within its reach. It will sustain
the soul in the darkest and most
dreary places of this world It
will hold in check the demons of
despair, and stife the power Of dis
couragement and hopelessness. 1t
is the brightest star that ever cast
its radiance over the darkened soul,
=. ons that seldom sets in the
gloom of morbid fancies and fore
boding imaginations.
Cultivate, then, a cheerful spirit,
and cherish it as something sacred.
Obey the command. 'Rejoic-
evermore," and its light and bless
edness viii ever fall upon thy pathe
way,
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1884-02-07

FARMING DOES PAY.

Next to money, there is nothing
ike saving time. Since I first fol-
lowed the plow when boy for
fish worms) I have always made it
my object to make the most Of
every minute, and I can assure you
that my style of farming has paid,
from the fact that at my present
sime Of life there are not more
than one or two mortgages on my
farm, and they could easily be re,
moved by the money. In agricul,
turaLeconomy there is nothing like
doing two things at once, and my
most distant relatives and friends
say that ] am a humane, easy farm
er, and lay claim to begin indus
trio1s. How you know every far
mer loses agreat deal of time just
in grinding his axes and knives. I
have changed all this. By aslight
contrivance on the other side of the
grind. stone, have attached self.
feeding straw cutter; SO when the
boy turns the grind-stone, the
straw-cutter goes at the same rate,
and thus two objects are accom-
plished at the same time-if the
boy does growl, and growing
doesn't make it any easier, goodness
knows. l can't see how it could.
In seeding time one OF my boys
goes into the field and scatters the
grain broad cast with ease at the
same time he pulls behind him a
light harrow Of my own construc-
ton, and the seed is narrowed in.
Thus you readily see the expense
ola drill and several horses is saved.
I am trying to study out a plan
for attaching o cold-roller behind
the harrow to save the boy the time
and the trouble Of going over the
field the second time, at which he
might growl. Hoeing corn and
potatoes is slow work; so furnish
my boys with handles that have
Two hoes on them, and of course
they do double the work that one
does, as you will allow; and in har-
vest my cradles have back blade
as well as a front one, so they cut
backward as well as forward; and
as the old wood. saw only cuts as it
goes down through a stick, I have
had one made for my boys that
also cuts coming back, and thus it
saves half the time. When agents
of all kinds call on me, or even my
neighbors, I invite them to the
barn and get them to help me husk
corn, while I listen to their talk;
and you see I get good deal of
work done while I am getting G
good deal of valuable information,
and nobody loses any time-but
them.-A. ". Bellaw IN american

PHYSICAL COMFORT FROM OLD News.
PAPERS. Brittle "wood-pulp" news
papers are more impervious to
wind currents than the thickest
carpet. Three or four layers of
them with the air spaces between,
are as good non conductors as a
plastered wall with its minute air
cracks, OF as an ordinary bed spread;
and one or two placed between the
blankets are equal to an extra quilt,
20 keep in the warmth OF the bodies
of the sleepers.
Tackled on the beans over q Gel
lar, a few thickness of newspapers
are equs<to an extra floor or cell
ing placed there, in keeping the
rooms above warm. Nailed up so
that they will rot be wet by rain,
around the horse and cattle stalls,
or the chicken abodes, or any
buildings occupied by animals,
human or otherwise, newspapers
are warmer than the outer board
siding, rough or planed; and they
can be renewed at pleasure at no
cost, and be removed in spring for
additional ventilation. In short
the judicious use of newspapers
may be made to save half the fuel
in well.to do homes, and supply
its luck to the poverty stricken.
We call the special attention of be-
neyolent societies to this fact.
Farmers may by using newspapers
save much feed otherwise used up
by animals in keeping warm. Eggs
Will be far more abundant if the
hens are kept warm, by lining their
winter quarters with newspapers,
and stock poultry go through well
on half the feed otherwise required.
