Hard Times.

Wepublish an article from the Gal
weston News on "Hard Times" We have
always heard of "Hard Times )" we new
er saw any times but Hard Times )"
the times are always hard and always
will be, So long as there are poor peo-
pie, and showers of wood and drawers
of water,n who constitute the great
body of mankind, the times will be
hard, at least to them. As in the
crowded learned professions, there is
always room in the upper story" SO in
our country there is, and there will be
for many future generations, room in
the feld-agricultnre is not Overdone,
as are the vocations of merchants, ply
sicians, lawyers, ministers Of religion,
etc. These live on the productions of
agriculture, which, if short, cause them
to feel "Hard Times" Too many try
to live without labor, especially with
out field labor and in so doing they
transgress the divine law that they shall
live or earn their subsistence by cult
waiting the ground, and the way of the
transgressor is hard, and the great ma
jority of them. see nothing but "Hard
Tines Unpaid preachers, briefIess
lawyers, doctors without practice,
clerks and drummers without employ
ment-of each kind of whom there are
legions-see nothing but lizard Times"
The farmer who is industrious and eco
nomical, has always plenty about him,
and is the most Independent individual
on earth. He can not live in large city
and be as rich as Vanderbilt; where
there is one Vanderbilt there are
thousands of paupers who know not to-
day how they will get something to eat
tomorrow. The great body of man
kind can not reasonably expect to live |
in more than comparative ease and
comfort; these conditions are certain
for the farmer, and very uncertain for
all others. Other pursuits are like lot
teries-very few draw the prizes in
them. We dislike to see so many of
our young men Tesorting to so many
crooks and turns to avoid field labor
If they will just look about them, they
will see how much better is the condi-
tion of industrious and economical far
mers than of any other class of people
as whole.

The Centennial Cotton Exposition in
New Orleans, was opened formally last
Tuesday, 10th inst. It was estimated
tbat-5O,OOO persons were present. Di-
rector General Burke in short speech
presented the buildings and grounds to
President Richardson of the EXPOSE
ton Association, and the latter by tel
egraph presented same to President
Arthur at Washington City, and he by
telegraph declared the Exposition open
TO the world. The Mayor of New Or
leans welcomed evrybody in short ad-
dress, and Gov. McEnery delivered an
address. Then the Cotton Centennial
Poem of Mrs. Mary Ashley Townsend
was read-these with the music and
military salutes about constituted the
opening ceremonies. There is no doubt
but this Exposition is the greatest one
that has ever been the buildings are
larger, and the exhibits probably more
numerous and various. The main
building occupies about twenty -eight
acres of ground, and the government
building, nearly twelve besides these
are numerous ether large buildings and
stables. We advise those who will not
be able to make more tnan one visit to
the Exposition, to be in no hurry, as it
can hardly get in good running order
before month.

The privileges and requirements that
some Congressman seek are unlimited
while complimentary tickets to the New
Orleans Exposition have been received
by all the Senators and Representatives,
a Washington dispatch says that some
of the statesmen think that the EXPOSE
ton ought to furnish transportation
and pay their board bills while they are
in the Crescent City. we loaned the
Exposition million, and without the
loan it would have been a failure say
the Congressman explanation. States
The money for this loan Congress was
so liberal in making, came by taxing
the people and the Gengressmen
themselves are paid good salaries. Il
is a strange thing that the officials in a
republican government, with good sal
aries, receive free tickets, free railroad
rides, ETC., from rich corporations; it,
unnst be that these corporations expect
