The Farmers Boy.


CURE no dislike Tor the farm is a matter
of no little anxiety to many farmers.
In fact. this is one of the knotty prob.
Inns of farming. 1t is often asserted
that our boys are continually becoming
more and more averse to the farm. AS
Stunning tn s statement to be true the
outlook is indeed gloomy one. tn
der such conditions days. of utter de-
generacy must be rapidly 'approa hing
and inevitable ru n waits upon our
country. 1t is singular enough that
this fatal delusion has become so com
mon among the farming community.
And vet those who hold SO tenaciously
to this idea must be ready to admit
that our native farming population is
increasing. The yexed questions re-
garding the fuyure occupation Of tho
farmer boy naturally arrange them
selves into two .ueries: How shall we
keep the boys on the farm? Is it de-
sirable to keep them all on the farm
The first question demands an indi-
vidual answer 10 every boy. The pa
rents should know best how to win
their sons into sympathy with the occu-
patton. / have known many young
men who have left the farm when they
became of age, and think know the
reason why some Of them left it. Most
of them saw too many hours OF
work in the day. and too many
days of work in the year, to make
the farm an attractive home. It was
not the hard work especially. but the
never-ceasing routine from sunrise till
dark, from January till December.

Plants in Literature and Superstition.

The earliest folklore OF India de-
scrlbed a tree whose fruit eaten by the
birds made them immortal. in such q |
manner as to suggest the tree OF life. |
which with us has become household
word. Northern mythology had tree
which was wide as the universe. The |
gods met under its shadow. and guard |
ians, which typified past. present and |
future, protected the sacred growth. |
When the sacredness Of the tree was so
early an article of religious faith we
can no longer wonder at the reverential
feelings the Druids had for the oak
trees; nor that Bryant should have been
inspired to write that great invocation
which begins:
.sThe groves were Gods first temples"

to the character of even professional

A little pamphlet entitled Working
Peoples Rights, published by the Concord
Printing Company, New York, is attracting
a good deal of attention here in view OF the
labor agitation all over the country.
It is Understood here that Consul Mackey
at Rio Grapde do Sui, who shot an editor
there for impuguing the character of some
Young ladies Of that place, has been acqult-
ted. The Consul's father, Judge j. T..
Mackey, of this city, says he attended
mink tea in Alexandria last night, and tor
the first time 10 his life formed an attach
ment for a thing so inanimate as wood, haV-
ing spoiled pair of trousers by sitting In
freshly vanished chair.
Senator Riddleberger has left his hotel
here, but whether the city or not IS ur-
known. Gentlemen who talked with him
at the hotel say he is still personally OPP
posed to Malone, and that he is of the opn,
ion the General will not be able to control
The republican State convention. He is also
reported as saying that at the dlstrlct
meetings in his section of country held on
the 9Oth ult., to appoint delegates to county
conventions, the Malone element OF the
party was pretty generally defeated.
A railroad official whose headquarters are
at Richmond, thorough going democrat
in the city to-day, says the impression Is
growing in Virginia that the democratic
nomination for Governor Of the State Will
be forced upon Mr.. Barbour.
The only change in the fourth class post
offices in Virginia to-day was that OF Car
rett w. Martin, who was appointed post
master at Todebar, Nelson equity, vice Cyrus
p. McCue, resigned.
There seems to be no doubt from what
Virginia republicans here say that the
straightout republican opposition to Ma
hone in his State next fall will be greater
than it ever has been. One of the most
knowing ones among them says their only
hope lies in his utter and complete rou'
next November, SO that he may no Longer
presume to be the leader of the republican
party in their State, for that should he sue
coed and the next national administration
be republican, their fate in the future, as II
the past, would be worse than it could b'
under democratic regime. The same gen
tleman also says the best ticket the demo
Gratis can nominate to secure Malone
defeat would be w. II. F. Lee for Governor
J. E. Massey for Lieutenant Governor ant
w. r. Staples for Attorney General. HI
SAYS that while no democrat would refuse
to vote for Massey, his name on the tlcke
would attract to i much support it woult
not otherwise receive.

A Chinese Murderer.

ST. LOUIS, May 5.-Tbe Chinaman arrest.
ed Wednesday near Murpbysboro, ILL.,, for
the murder of Lou Johnson last Monday,
turns out to be Cong Seng, instead of Chyo
Pock, as reported last night He was
brought here to-day and when taken before
the corone. be gave all the details of the
murder, admitting that he was one of the
four men who committed the bloody deed.
He said that about month ago it was de-
cided to kill Johnson because he was believ-
ed to be giving information to the police
which led to the arrest of other Cinnamon
for gambling and keeping gambling house.
Cong Seng, Chyo Pock and two other Chi
nese agreed to murder Johnson for $500, and
watched his house for six days before they
got the chance. Cong Seng was assigned to
watch outside and to remove the traces of
the crime, which he did. He did not see
the murder committed but plainly heard
Johuson's cries for help as he was being
stabbed to death. He assisted Chyo Pock
to dispose OF the body in closet and then
the quartette scattered. Cong Seng says
that his share of the 5000 was to be 500, but
that Chyo Pock gave him only SIS. Chyo
Pock went south, he thinks, but he does not
know where the others went. The money
which was paid the murderers was contribut-
ed by half dozen Chinese lauudrymen who
wanted Johnson killed and who were will
ing to pay 5000 more to have Alex Baptiste
put out of the way. Baptiste is Chinese
interpreter who came here recently from
New York and interpreted the testimony
at the inquest on the body Of Johnson.
Chyo Pock was arrested in this city last
night and it is now believed that all those
concerned in the murder have been cap
tured.
