In one weeks time all these mis-
fortunes befell the local editor of the
Water Valley Central: was kicked
out OF bed to see the sun rise, some
one stole bis umbrella with a white
handle; a delinquent subscriber re
fused to take the paper more than y
year free. After all that he became
inspired and wrote the following
verse
The girl stood GU the roller skates.
But then she could not GO;
She was afraid to tempt the fates
Because she wobbled so.
She called aloud, Say, Chawley, say
Do come; help me along!a
But Chawley went the other way,
Becanse his legs went wrong;
There came a erash-a thunder sound !;
The girl oh, where was sbei
Ask of the gidiy yonth around,
Who viewed her hosiery.

But whether there is an extra ses
sion or not there will be something
going on here after the fourth oi
March. It is not expected that ono
hundred thousand Offs holders will
be Immediately turned out. But
new Cabinet with new Chiefs ol
Bureau, new chief clerks, and new
foreign ministers will be appointed
with as little delay rs possible
There will be some fifty thousand
Postnasters to appoint, and a gen
eral and judicious cleaning out OF
the idle, incompetent, supcranuated,
and the morely political rats and
barnacles who have industriously
drawn their salaries from the pub
lie treasury for years and years
Many clerks in the departments
have been trying to have their pa
pers, which show they were recon
mended by prominent republicans,
Withdrawn from the files. Secretary
McCulloch, however, has denied
their requests and says be proposes
to turn over the files Of the Treas
ury Department intact. This, of
course, is right, and nothing more.
If a clerk has been recommended by
Senator Kellogg of Louisiana, Mr..
Blaine, or Senator Hoar, for no bet
ter reason than that he is republi-
can, and has done political work for
his patron, 1t is Of interest to the
country and to the coming admin
istration to have it on record. When
an examination of the appointment
files has been made it will be found
that a majority of the male en-
ployes have been appointed for
political purposes. and that many
females have been appointed for
reasons and purposes not Of record.
1t will be remembered that eight
years ago the petty Michigan acci

Farmers, Magnify Your Office.

The occupations OF oil the learnet

To resrcct aud pres, rye the dignit,
OF their calling, and TO so cnnduc
themselves that with those whom
they come in contact will respect
their occupations. This was the
case with thr planting interest iu
the South. The occupation OF a
planter was looked on by him as
one of the pToudest apd most
digniticd in the country, ard the
planter rather looked down upon
men Of other pursuits who had no
broad acres over which they were
lords. Now however the same digni

mer's son is willing to adopt any &C.
cupation in preference to that OF till
ing the acres which he owns.
This is all wrong The occnpa-
tion of a farmer lies at the Tounda-
tion, and furnishes the life blood to
every other trade or profession on
earth. No other pursuit, if it is in
telligently followed. is more eleyat-
ing and refining in its influences
than the production OF the fruits OF
the soil. All that is wanted to make
it fascinating to those engaged in it
is the observation, Intelligence and
persevering industry that will de-
velop the highest results Of agricul
ture.
We are willing TO admit that
very stupid class Of men are often
found engaged in farming. men who
have not an idea above the mechani
cal effort OF turning over the sod
and gathering in the harvest. But
this is no reason Why intelligence
should not engage in the develop
ment of the riches OF the soil,
the great laboratory of nature
for forming and producing the
food and clothes and all the
comforts OF the world. In the soil
man of intelligence has field for
study that is simply inexhaustable,
one in whicn there is a greater field
for thought than there is 10 any other
occupation in which he can engage.
The chemistry OF agriculture proper
ly applied so that its riches can be
developed, is certainly one of the
most exalted studies and one OF tn.
most profitable, too. in which u
thoughtful man can engage.
Then why should not the farmer
be proud of his occupation ? Only
because be has not given to it the
benefit of deep, intelligent thought

An Unsophisticated Poete IS.

Tee reader possibly may not know that the
Century Magazine is the center Of about all that
New York has of the Boston sort of acute Gull
ture in literary way. Roswell Smith is the
boss OF the company, and as he is rich,
he is called upon to do something in the
line OF literary entertainment. The other day
one of the magazine poetesses came to town. I
won't name her. because there is no particular
use in subjecting her to general rdicule; and
besides, she writes such awfully sweet verses
about love that have a tender regard for her
When Mr. Smith learned that she was in the
city, he got up reception in her honor.
1t was a nice little affair. There were twenty
or thirty of us there; and after presentation
to the lIoness of the evening we dri!ted into the
dining-room, where there was spread OF re-
fresbments. The poetess was unused to fash
ionable life. She was an engaging creature, full
of quaint qualities, but she had come from a
corner Of a country where receptions are I'M
known. After nearly all had left the parlor,
and SHE was almost alone, the host rushed to
her with kindly inquiry why she didn't join
the eaters and drinkers.

A War Incident.

Yesterday Major Teller, of Los Angeles call
ed to see me- and in the course of a converse.
ton it came out that he had at one time been a
resident of New MADRID, Mo- remarked that
knew something of the place, as had been
with Pope when he made the attack on that
place, IN the earlier part of the war. Major
Toler explained that he was one of the gunners
in the rebel battery posted below the city, and
be asked if l remembered any striking incident
in connection with the work Of that battery. l
did I remembered it well. remembered
that one day there came shot from that bat
terry that entered the muzzle of one of our own
guns, causing an explosion that broke the gun
into fragments and killed several men.
Major Toller remarked IL remember the In
cident as well as you, aud have better cause
to remember it. l fired the shot myself, and
there is story about it. One day there came
from the Union battery large shell, that
struck without exploding very near our own
battery. picked up the shell, and, seeingthst
the fuse had not burned out, said that be-
leved we could arrange the fuse and return the
shell with our compliments to the battery that
had fired it. This was done. / aimed the gun
myself, and we saw by the commotion it Great
ed in the Union lines that something extraor-
binary had occurred. Afterwards We learned
the eparticulars. A few days aftetward the
commander of the forces came to our quarters
and for the firing OF that shot promoted me to
Major Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Both in Italy and in other countries th'
archaic images of the detiss were painted red
and the traditional practice was, in some cases
long continued. 1t has been said that THU
practice was intended to please the "color sense,
by which is meant that these images were re
garded as prettygew-gaws. This is not likely
and the true explanation is that the color ret
was sacred.
All pristine creeds can, with probability, b
traced ultimately to two origins. They are il
different DISCUSSES, the worship of the sun and
the worship OF humanity. Red became, there
fore, an exceptionally odious color when TIT
ascetic temper gained possession OF religion.

MIDSUM ER.

A midsummer greeting
The red sun IL glowing
And painting the hill-tops
With crimson and gold.
The cock in the barn-yard
Is Justify growing,
The young lambs arc skipping
Away from the fold.
The cows come allowing
From out their green pastures,
The rosy cheek milk-maid
Trips by with her pail;
The plow.boy IS whistlinS
A tune In the corn.field,
That rivals the chorus
OF robin Or quail
A midsummer greeting
The peoples are showing
Their bright scarlet faces
All dripping with dew.
The clear meadow-brook,
Mid the green rushes flowing,
Is babbliDg a greeting 10
To me and to you.
The daisies are nodding
Across the green by-way,
The purple-cyed pansy
Hides under the trees.
And the columbine saucily
Blooms on the highway,
And faunts her gay petticoats
Out to the breeze.
A midsummer greeting!
The shadows are creeping
Across the blue hill.tsps,
And toward the far west.
The sky meadow-lark
To her young brood is peeping,
And the tall grass blades
That shelter their nest.
The yellow legged humble-bee
Hides in the clover,
The grass in the meadow
Isspangled with dew.
The sunbeams are sparkling
And glancing all OVER
Midsummer is calling
To me and to you.
