poisoned him, and the remains were

it all right. The other man was suf-

If there is ANYTHING that requires

If there is anything that requires
more dray-horse labor than that of
running a country newspaper, we
have failed to "striken it in our
rounds, and if you think we don't
know something about work, investi-
gate the following tests, in each OF
which we have made full scholar:
We have made rails in a red elm
thicket for one dollar per hundred,
whistled the tune of boyish joy be-
tween the plow handles, swung a
cradle in the harvest field from early
morn till dewy eve, we have been on
forced marches for days and night in
succession, and loaded with Spring
field rifles, go rounds of ammunition
and all the corn bread and bacon our
Confederate war bags could hold, but
the bitter hardshlps of all them stew
ed down together would taste sweet
in comparison to the bitter endured
in running a country newspaper, and
still some people think we are in the
basiness for our health and glory on

"a great many people are under
the impression that it is the proper
thing to send to some convenient city
for articles which their home dealers
can supply them believing that they
are cheaper in cities than in country
towns. This is mistaken idea. No
city retail store can do an honest bus
iness and sell as cheap as our home
for example. The city
merchant may carry a larger stock
and sell more goods per annum, but
his expenses are in the same ratio.
On his larger investment of money
he must make a rate of interest in the
same proportion. His rent, clerk
hire, INSURANCE., taxes ,etc., eat up the
same amount of his investment that
they do of the country merchants
business. The country merchant who
IS solid and responsible can buy his
small stock at the same favorable per
centage that the city merchant can,
and in the conduct of his business he
avoids innumerable sources Of eX-
pense as the city merchant has to
meet. To all who may feel like SEN
ding to city for cheaper goods, we
would say, think of these things and
you will see that our cheapest market
is at your home stores.'

Gen. stephen ID. Lee, the able and
successful President of the Mississip-
pi Agricultural college at Starkville,
Miss, has done noble work for the
young men of his State, yet he ear
nestly desires to do still more and
better for the rising generation. II
am really alarmed" he writes, "as
to the future of our farmer boys. The
cream has been taken Off our lands by
their fathers and grandfathers, and
now, when they cannot make money
off them they will turn them over to
their boys, like squeezed lemon.
Without training and education,
these boys can do no better, but must
do worse, because they have poorer
lands. As consequence, strangers,
who have been educated in Europe or
at the North, will gain possession of
our soil. They will know how to re-
store it, and our poor boys, for lack of
preparation, will be their laborers.
The problem now facing the farmers
of the South is no new one; it has
confronted every older nation. We
have had our troubles, and now must
show some of the pluck exhibited in
the war, rising above all obstacles,
and retain our lands for our Southern
boys. don't hate other boys, but
like our boys best. ."--Souther Guilt

Late advces from Nicaragua an
nounces the destruction Of the City
of Managua, the capital of the coun-
try, by earthquakes following the
eruption of volcano. A telegram,
which was received at healjo May %,
states that the earth upon which the
city was built suddenly sank, soon af-
ter the CONFUSION began, three feet
below its former level. All buildings
of any considerable value were com
pletely wrecked 1t was reported that
there was great loss of life. Tele-
graphic Intelligence from a town at
the terminus of a railroad forty miles
from Realjo was even more startling.
That place was fast. hing buried
beneath hot vol4 mic ashes,
and many lives had been lost.
At Realjo, from which port steamer
sailed Oh the 22d, fine volcanic ashes
began to fall and fell upon Der decks
after she had got fifty miles at sea.
There was great excitement in Real
10 when the steamer sailed and de-
tails Of the calamity could not be OBJ
tanned. Full Information will doubt
less come by the next steamer, which
reaches San Francisco in few days.
Managua, the capital of Nicaragua,
which is said to be destroyed, is a
city of about 10000 inhabitants.-

The problem of immigration has
not been wisely or prudently treated
by us. We have been too sentimen-
tai truthful. We have held that as
nation of freemen we ought to let
the epslaved come to US without any
hindrance regardless of their charac-
ter or their purposes. We have be-
Iieved that our undoubtedly glorious
institutions would take care Of them
selves, and that our country was big
enough for everybody. And we have
cherished the foolish delusion that
the mere process of naturalization
would transform the worst that
Europe could send us into material
fit for our electorate. 1t is time to
dismiss these childish notions and
treat the question more nationally
aud sensibly.--Ex.

Mr.. Riley Halsted writes from
Southwestern Indiana to the Indiana
Farmer thus: Twenty years ago
Southwestern Indiana was good
fruit region to day we are all diseour-
aged. If we get fruit at all it is far
inferior to that of former years. The
condition of things can be accounted
for only in atmospheric changes.
The same condition of affairs exists
all over the South, but we think we
can explain the phenomena without
duplicating the atmosphere in the
least. Twenty years ago our fruit
trees were mostly seedlings native to
the regions where they grew. Those
of Southwestern Indiana were the
same. But, by ard by, the tree ped
dler came around and supplied US
with choice varieties of named fruit
trees flom other regions of the coun-
try. In those other regions they
were something rAe' ly fine, no doubt,
but they We're not home in the re-
gions to which they had been trans
ferred. But we didn't take anything
of that kind into consideration. We
planted the "choice varieties and
cut down the old seedlings, and now
we are cursing the atmosphere for a
sin which we committed ourselves.
The atmosphere will always be wrong
with us for fruit, until we have gone
back to native varieties; that is, va
rieties entirely suited to the climate
and soil-conditions of the regions in
which we ATTEMPT their growth. .-Ex.
