Letter from Alabama.

PICKENsvILLE, ALA, MAY "a, 1884,
EDS. CITIZEN: Thinking that a
short letter from this part of the coun-
try would probably be interesting to
some of your readers, | will try to
give some information which might be
of some value to those who are contem-
plating change of base. This seems
to be a very healthy place; very little
sickness of any kind The climate de-
lightful; warm enough to make things
grow, with breeze blowing from the
gulf that makes one feel good.
Land is certainly very cheap,
farms where every foot could be work
ed selling from 81 to $50 per acre.
Land within a mile Of the Pickens coun-
tv Court House, can be bought for
from S5 to $40 per acre, which within
ten years will be worth $50 per acre.
A railroad is being built which is ex-
pected to run through the town. They
can raise anything here that we can in
Pennsylvania, besides great many
things that we cannot. Rice produces
from 80 to 150 bushels per acre, corn
from 80 to 10 bushels (shelled) per
acre. Two crops of Irish potatoes can
be raised in one year. Oats can be
harvested and the ground plowed and
planted in corn and make a crop.
Melons of all kinds, pumpkins, apples,
peaches, pears, and all kinds of small
fruits grow in abundance. Good and
pure water in abundance. The people
kind and generous to a fault. In poll
tics can express my views as plainly
as anywhere in the North. The great
need of the South is men who are not
afraid to work. Mechanics, farmers
and merchants, (no lawyers or doctors
need apply will be welcomed in any
community in this part of Alabama.
The people here give their whole atten-
tion to cotton and do not try to raise
any grain. There is not thresher in
this county, although l saw one piece
of rye as nice as | ever saw anywhere,
and there is some very good wheat.
Now is the time to invest in Real
Estate before the railroad is built to
batter the shipping facilities. | expect
to make this my future home but expect
to return to Pennsylvania next week.

ARTHUR has made q good Presi-
dent" his supp orters say. But in
what :? He has simply been negative
President so far. That is, he has done
nothing; had no policy of any kind,
foreign or at home Two hundred
thousand majority against his ticket in
New York probab taught him to be
prudent and careful, and this is what
his supporters now say has made him
a good President.

| What the Democrats are Doing,
The Democratic primaries of this
county take place on Saturday week,
June IA, and their County Convention
on the following Monday. They still
nominate by what is called the "Dele,
gate SYSTEM" sending two delegates
from each district to County Conven.
ton. These delegates, however, we
believe they now generally instruct rs
to candidates, and if so it is a great i'm
provement on the system, as it approx
mates the popular vote one. There is
still room, however, under their sys-
tenn for more or less of what is known
as "log-rolling." or combinations being
made in the conventions of delegates,
which cannot arise under the popular
vote plan. 1t requires a majority Of a
convention, however, to make nomin-
alton.
Their candidates for the principal
Offices so far as announced are: For
Judge, Hon. James BrediD, Leving-
ston McQuistion, Esq, and Lewis Il.
Mitchell, Esq: Hon. Jacob Ziegler of
the Herald for Assembly; Harrison
Dyke, John G. Martin, W. d. Walker,
James Collins, John G. Kelly, James
r. Pringle, Esq, Jacob Reott and
Hugh McFadden for County Commis-
sioners; John w. Brown and j. G..
Cornelius for Prothonotary; for Sheriff,
F. G. Buhl, Eli Graham, A. D. Vande-
ling and D. NJ. Ward; for Register and
Recorder, w. j. McCarnes, William B.
Bedillion and Alfred Aggas; for Coun-
ty Treasurer, Robert McElhaney, Esq.
and Robert McKissick; for County
Auditors, James l.. Hindman, W. S.
Sipes, Andrew j. Harper, j. B. Steph-
enson, j. B. McDivitt and III. III. Ader-
hold
Under their call for the election Of
delegates we notice they recognize the
law requiring the officers holding the
primaries to be sworn,
There is not much stir manifested
among them as yet as to the choice of
candidates. We understand, however,
the contest for the Judge nomination
will be a warmly contested one.

Lawrence County.

County Convention on Monday last.
The result, on casting up the votes,
showed A. l.. Hazen, Esq, the choice
of that county for Judge, over Col. K.

Col. o. l.. Jackson was nominated
for Congress. The district is Lawrence,
Beaver and Washington counties.
Col Jackson was presented by the Re-
publicans of Lawrence county two
years ago, but was unsuccessful In
view of the large Republican majority
given by Lawrence county it would at
this distance look as very unsafe to again
set her candidate aside, if she has the
right to the nomination now claimed.
For the Legislature, Henry G. Falls,

nominated.

Openings for Women's Work.

Forty years ago when Harriet Mar
tineau was visiting this country, she
found cause for serious complaint in
the fact that there were so few occupa-
lions in which women might earn i've
ihood. She asserted that the number
was seven or eight, which was too low
aD estimate.
But since that time wonderful revolu-
ton has taken place in our business hab-
it's. New openings have been made for
women, and the remun GRAFTON for their
labor has been greatly increased. Some
one curious in statistics has counted up
over two hundred and fifty occupations
in which women are now employed. I.
They are crowding out men from many
departments where only light work Is
required. But the applicants still out
number the places to be filed. There
is, however, q growing demand for
women whose qualifications are OF a
high order. Women of superior talent
and tact who are now willing TO give
themselves permanently to depart mcnts

The complaint is general that cur
public school education does not culti-
yate either the disposition or the power

girl, truly educated, ought to be fitted

for q female to do, and she should do it
SO well as to;creat e q demand for her
services. Il 4. +.

In New England primers printed in 1906
found in the library Of one Of the early settlers
OF the east end Of Long Island, occur the follor-

boys"
Il am come to fetch thy breath,
And carry thee to the shades OF Death;
IS No pity on thee can show,
Thou hast thy God offended 30
Thy soul and body I'll divide:
Thy body in the grave I'll hide
And thy dear Soul in hell must be
With devils to Eternity.
+ Thus ends the days Of woful youth
Who won't obey, nor mind the truth;
Nor hearEen to what preachers say
But do their parents disobey.
They in their youth shall go TO hell
IS Under Eternal wrath do dweIll
And shall not live Ont half their 3ays
q For cleavng unto sinful ways"

Lincoln's First inauguration.
Washington Correspondence Boston Tarvt

]er:--
There are living at Washington to-
day two gentlemen who were the COM
mittee appointed by the loyal citizens
of Washington to make alran gements
tor the first inauguration of President
Lincoln. These two gentlemen are
Hon. z. G. Robbins and Hon. Levi
Clephane. When Lincoln came to
Washington these two gentlemen in
sisted that he should be inaugurated at
the Capitol. General Scott went over
to President Buchanan and strongly
advised that the Inauguration ceremo-
MES take place at Wizards Hotel. He
said that it would be positively danger
GUS to attempt to go to the Capitol, but
Buchanan said that inasmuch as Mr..
Lincoln had been elected President he
should be inaugurated with all the
honors and in the same manner as we'll
as his predecessors. Pockets were
stationed from the White House to the
Capitol, and every precaution taken, to
insure safety from violence. Mr.. Rob
bins rode alongside Of Lincoln's car
riage throughout the day. He says that
Lincoln was the brayest man he ever
saw. Every one expected that an at
tempt would be made upon the Presi-
dents life, but all through those trying
hours he chattea gaily with the gen.
tlemen near HIM, and appeared totally
Unconscious Of the presence Of danger.
Later on Mr.. Robbins was appointed
Register Of Wills in the District OF
Columbia, and Mr.. Clephane became
Postmaster Of Washington, both gen
tlemen serving with distinguished
ability I-4 .
