DAgIEL DFNNETT, who conducts so
ably the agricultural department of the
New Orleans Pioayune, has eulled the
following from the pamphlet of DR.. H.
E. Mckay, of Madison county, the re-
nowned strawberry king:
Coming directly to the fruit of our
choice-the strawberry-of which we
now propose to speak, we viii say in gen
eral terms that Mississippi is its former
home To verify this statement we
need only hear the pioneers of our State
tell of the luxuriant and delicious wild
strawberries of by-gone years, and how
they were accustomed to have great
water buckets full of the typical berry
brought in from the fields and prairies.
II she has been the favored home of the
typical berry, may she not, by the skill
full touch of art, become the Eden and
Paradise of improved varieties and cul-
ture? We believe this will prove true.
especially of the compact. retentive,
marty, clay, table lands of Central Mis-
sissippi, where we believe finer berries
and larger crops can be made on a
cheaper basis than elsewhere in the
State"
OF Mississippi, as fruit growing

ton of not only most OF the larger
fruits, but also equally well adapted to
the more tender and delicate smaller

20 DEFICIENCY THIS YEAR.

expenditures, including payment of in
terest upon the public debt, and SAT ,000,-
900 or SIS, 600, 600 upon the principal as
a sinking fund by at least $50, 000, 900 or

more, | think, but that is q good deal,

are being decreased the revenues of the

creased. Every week is better thar it
was before; every month is better than
it was before"

eighth Congress laws have been passed
forfeiting and restoring to the public
domain 80, As, 240 acres of land preyi-
ously granted to railroad companies and
to States for railroad purposes in some
few cases. All the acts providing for
the forfeitures of these lands provide
expressly that they shall be restored to
the public domain and shall be held for
the benefit of actuel settlers only under
the Homestead law. The territory en-
braeed by these forfeitures is 1888
square miles-more than twice as large
as the State OF Kentucky. In addition
to this the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives at the last session passed bills

are also on the calendar of the House.

THE MAN ALWAYS NEEDED.

There is always need in the church
for the man who will go ahead. He
must be breaker-up Of the way, a
pioneer, energetic and hopeful. People,
even those who wish work done and
are willing to do it, need leading some
one to go before and direct those who
will follow. They cannot lead; they
can barely tell, perhaps, what they
wish, but they know the. value of having
the work of the Lord going on, and are
capable of telling it when once it is
brought to their notice. The head
man, therefore the foreman" as he
is properly called-is always in demand,
and if one can prove himself to be such,
he may feel that his is a very necessary
as well as honorable position. He
must be willing man; no other can be
successful. He must also be earnest.
having a heart in his work; patient,
willing to be disappointed, if need be,
and recover and wait; cheerful, opti-
mistically looking forward to the
achievement he desires; industrious.
working himself, and seeking to get all
others TO work; able to endure all things,
for he will be mercilessly blamed and
rebuked; devout, amiable, forgiving
and generous. True leaders are few"
of course, when it requires so much to
make one.-United Presbyterian.

CoNTEMpTIBLE LIrTLENEss.

A collection was recently taken up in
church gathering, three-fourths of
whom were uisitors. The preacher for
the occasion was one of prominence,
and there were over one thousand per-
sons present, and the sum total raised
was only $17.55, made up as follows:
Four hundred and eighty pennies, forty
three-cent pieces, eighty half dimes,
forty three dimes, seven quarters, three
half dollars. Thus, nearly five hundred
persons gave one cent each who, prob
ably, are in circumstances that make it
sin and disgrace for them to ever drop
less than dime or quarter into any
church basket, especially where they
are visitors. These same people, as
citizens, would blush to be caught
doing any thing so small in any other
public gathering where collection was
taken up, and why they carry such
meGnneSs into their contributions to-
ward the furtherance of the Gospel and
Christ's kingdom, is problem which
can only be explained on the ground of
criminal ithoughtlessness or unmitigassd
dwarfishness. A visitor who was
present on this occasion, and who is a
systematic and liberal giver, told the
writer that he saw poor clergyman
drop a quarter into the basket, while
near him the occupants of two entire
pews, we'll dressed men and women,
gave nothing. The Lord commended
the poor widow, because her mite was
her all, but what he would and will
say to such stingineSs as this we will not
assume to say.-1he Presbyteian.
