AN OLD SALTS LAMENT.

His Views Upon the Accomplishment OF
Modern Tars.
"Goin' to sea is not what it used to
be, by . long shot, and the sailor of
to-day can lead gentleman's life if he
Chooses" said an old seaman, recently,
as he sat in ship chambers store on
South Delaware street, putting at very
strong and highly-colored clay pipe.
He is tall and angular, and gave up the
sea several years ago to become land
lubber, although his face and hands
still show the effects of long exposure.
when followed the sea-" he con-
tinued, "a sailor who shipped before
the mast had to be an able seaman.
There was none o. your lubbers as there
are nowadays. One-half of 'em as goes
to sea now don't know fore from aft.
and if they were told to go up aloft and
clew up sail they'd stare at the Cap
tain or mate with open mouth to find
out what he meant. Now, when was
4 sailor. and goin' from here to Frisco
and other points. if we got ahold O. one
o. them coves we'd beat knowledge
into him. If he couldn't do able sea-
mans work we'd put him down for
ordinary seaman's duty, and if he
couldn't do that we'd start him right
at the beginning and beat him through
until he'd become as good a man as
there was in the crew.
Things is changed. though, since
then. The laws which has been passed
in this country and the United States
Commissioners make things easy for
the sailor, and that's why 1 say he can
lead gentleman life. There was no
goin' to law when l was before the mast.
When a row sprung up on board a ship
it was always settled with marlinspikes
and Delaying pins. and the man who
could walk after the fight was over was
put down as the winner. As it is now
in this country, if Cap'n has bad
crew and looks at 'em cross-eyed
they'll have him up before a United
States Commissioner quicker'n light
MIN when they make port. This is all
right, s'pose, and it's what good peo-
pie call civilization. but then it don't
make good seamen.
"Why, it's only few days ago that
1 was talkin' to a Cap'n, and he told
me that in all his crew there was not
man that he could trust at the wheel
outside of his mates. He had run afOul
some bad weather, and he and his mates
had to serve their times at the wheel
through it all, as every one of his crew
said they d never handled wheel, and
didn't know anything about it. That's
a sample of the men as ships before the
mast now and is called sailors"
A look of supreme disgust settled
over the old seaman's cOuntcnance as
he finished his criticism, and he settled
himself quietly back in his chair and
pulled vainly at the old clay pipe,
which he had allowed to 90 out in the
fervency of his talk Philadelphia Press.

Small Farms.

Small farms are largely increasing in
number. and chiefly because of the
profitable character of market farming
near towns and cities. Land in such
places is too high in price for ordinar,
farming, but not so for the growth of
small fruits and vegetables, which, when
well grown. returns from five hundred
dollars to one thousand dollars
per acre. Such farms vary in
area from one to twenty acres,
and careful men have started as servants
on land worth several hundred dollars
per acre and have saved enough in a
few years to purchase the land after
havingpaid yearly rental of one hundred
dollars per acre. For such purchase
light sandy loan is almost indispensable
on account Of thexease of cultivating il
in wet weather, its earliness in spring,
and the less labor of working it. But
such land requires manuring every year.
and for each crop, or it faiis to give .
maximum return.-N Y. Times.

Opsn-Captain UPdegrove Mentioned for
the Position. .......a. e. .- eng. }. A.
On Saturday afternoon the trustees of
the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home met in postponed regular session at
the home in Xenia. For several months
efforts have been made to get the board to
reorganize the home By ousting DR.. c. b.
Jones, the democratic incumbent of the su-
periniendency, and putting a republican in
his place. The action taken by the board
on Saturday will be gratifying to all repub-
ticans. This mornings Xenia TDrchIiglit
says:
After the transaction of the routine busi-
ness of allowing bills and paying employees,
the president addressed each member of the
board with the question whether there was
any further business to be presented. Far
rell, GrOsyenor and Van Deyere in the or
der named answered in the negative. Mr..
Fulton was then interrogated, who imme-
diately brought up the question of reOrgan-
iZation, offering the following resolution:
Resolved, That the present superintend-
ent of the q. S. & 5. o. Home be removed" :"
Without discussion the proposition was
voted upon. Result: one affirmative and
four votes in the negative were cast. DIR.
Jones was then called before the board and
informed of the action on the above reSolu-
ton. Thereupon the superintendent pro
ceeded TO tender his resignation, which he
handed to the board, with the remark tina,
he had contemplated for sometime past OF
resigning the trust he held. On motion the
resignation was accepted to take effect
November 18th. the end of the current yea
On motion it was ordered that the election
of superintendent take place at the nexl
regular meeting of the board. occurring
October 2lSt, 1856. This motion prevailed
and the meeting adjouI ned.
Pending the adoption of the motion
elect a superintendent at the regular meet
ing, October 2lst, sn effort was made to
secure immediate action upon the question
of a successor TO DIR. Jones. This point
was successfully combatted by General Van
Devere, who raised the point that this was
a called meeting Of the beard, and not being
a regular meeting a new superintendent
could not be elected, the president not hav-
ing specified in the call for this meeting
that an election of a superintendent would
take place therefore no business but the
regular order of allowing bills and paying
employees could be transacted.
Several gentlemen have been mentioned
as possible successors to Dr. Jones, one OF
whom is Captain UpdegrOve, formerly of
South Charleston. now of this city. Cap
tain Updegrove is a republican of the true t
blue, and one who Selved the union during
the rebellion with distinction. He is in
every way eminently qualified to fill the
Superintendency of the home, being a man
of lirmnesS and character, and possessing
marked executive ability.
