Temperance i'm the south.

J. FL. Beadle on Temperance Laws in
the South says: This temperance
movement in the Southern States is one
of the marked phenomen of this age.
1t goes far to disproye what has been
said against the people in the last ten
or twenty years. That people com,
pletely conquered and pauperlzed
should have to take hold Of such stu
pendous problem as negro suffrage,
should manage it as we'll as they have,
then educate the negroes, bring thu IN
up to the standard and establish law
and order on the ruins OF slavery,
shows a capacity for self govern
ment never surpassed in this world.
That the North should almost always
fail to enforce temperance laws, and
the South almost always succeed, is III
deed wonder but it is certainly not
due to superior capacity, a few think.
It is doubtless, because about 26 per
cent. of Northern people live in cities
and about 90 per cent. Of the Southern
people in the country, while the North
has six million foreigners and the South
less than million and equally, per-
haps, because the Soutli has been
chastened by defeat and the North
made arrogant by victory.

WHY Some Farmers Fail.
Farm and Home.

Farm and Home.
They give no attention to details.
They have no method or system.
They see no good in any new thing.
They let their fowls roost in trees.
They weigh and measure stingily.
They leave their plows in the field.
They hang their harness in the dust
They take no pleasure in their work.
They never use paint on the farm.
They prop the barn door with a rail.
They milk the cow late in the day.
They starye the calf and milk the
COW.
Taey think small things not impor-
tant. . >,
They let their gates swag and fall
down.
They do not keep up with improve
ments.
They don't know the best is the
cheapest.
They do not read the best books and
newspapers.
They think the buyer of successful
neighbours stock at good prices is fool
and the seller very "luck' :"
They sell hay, grain and straw. on
the farm, instead of turning them into
meat, butter, ETC., and increasing thell
supply of manure.

Two YEARS OLDER THAN HIS
FATHER.-The Bible has many readers
but we venture to say that there are
few who have noticed the striking in
consistency which manifests itself by a
reading of the following:
The version of King James, and the
Oxford and American Bible Society
edition of the same, in the Douay YER
siOns of the Rom an Catholic Church, as
in the new versions of English and
American divines,. occurs the common
oversight or blum der of stating in II
Chronicles that King Ahaziah was forty
and two years old On his accession to
the throne of Judea at the death of his
father, who died at t be age of 40, max
ing Ahaziala two years Older than his
father. See III Chronicles xxi, 20, and
xii, /. See also III Kings viii, 26,
where his age is correctly stated. 1t is
certainly literary curl Osity that with
all the comparison, COLLATION., study, and
con troversy about readings and mean
ings of the text, greater 10 regard to
the bible than In regard to any other
book, all its learned scholarly common
tatOrs. and controversialists should
have il common overlooked avn absurd
blunder such as this. Although in the
original manuscript, and manifest
blunder, it should not have been al
lowed to pass without correction, It be-
ing the word of God.

The Railway News gives the new
engagements for the English parcels
most, which are to take effect May l..
The present maximum weight is seven
pounds, which is to be increased to
eleven pounds. The charges will be
Sd. for the first pound and I'D. for each
pound or portion of a pound after the
first, SO that the charge for eleven
pounds would be 1Sd., or 36 cents.
There is alsoa provision for insurance
z,p to value of sa10, at an additional
charge of I'd. Postal arrangements OF
this kind here would tend to diminish
the value of express stocks, but would
be great benefit to the people.

The Gretna Courier is endeavoring
to inaugurate a boycott against the
Gretna Sun, on account of personal
differences existing between the pro-
prietress Of the Courier and the pro-
prietor of the Sun who was formerly
publisher of the Courier, by r-quest-
ing the papers of the State to refuse
the courtesy of an exchange. We have
nothing to do with the personal affairs
of our confreres and as long as the
Courier continued to pay its weekly
visit to our sanctum, which the Courier
has not done for the past four mouths,
we shall certainly continue to exchange
unless the Sun orders it otherwise.
