Here follows statistics of the importa-
tionS of potatoes and of the home pro-
duction on the middle Atlantic coast,
showing that New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania produce
fewer potatoes than they did % years
ago. The report continues:
"More than 100000 tons of flax straw
goes to waste or is burned in Western
States, worth, if prepared, S26,000,000,
while we pay S16,000,000 to foreign
makers for linen goods, besides duties
amounting to S5,500,000, which the
government does not want.
NO less than 279 of the 326 farmers
who refer at all to the duties on sugar
ask the abolition of those duties.
THE producers of tobacco do not ask
any increase of duties, but they earnest
ly desire that the fraudulent importation
of coolie-grow tobacco, by which their
industry has been rendered improbable,
may be stopped by more precise Ian
guage defining the classes to which ex-
isting duties were meant to apply"
The report then gives the statistics of
the wool industry of the country, as af-
fected by the tariff, and continues:
1.-The wOOl-growers who appeal to 9th
er farmers throughout the country show
that the prostration of their industry is
that they number more than
l 100000, and if forced to give up wool
growing must devote their land to other

TIE following from the New York
Sun is to the point: "If country news
papers were to publish the names of
subscribers who take, read and enjoy,
and are gratified by, yet refuse to pay
for their home papers, the reputation of
most communities for moral honesty
would depreciate twenty per cent. An
editors labor is seldom esteemed or
compensated. A lawyer will give YOU
five minutes advice on a topic and
charge you s. for it. An editor will
give you advice on hundred topics and
charge five cents copy for his paper,
and very often five cents given to an
editor would save S. given to a lawyer.
In fact, no other business is so univer-
sally robbed and swindled out of their
labor and capital as country newspaper
publishers"

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1888.

THE sensational murder of Amos j.
Smell, the millionaire real estate owner,
who was killed in his Chicago residence
last Wednesday morning, has created an
intense feeling in that city against bur
glars, and the opinion is expressed by
many citizens that the punishment pro
vided for this crime is far too mild. In
the case of old professional burglars, at
least, there is no doubt that undue Sc
verify would be almost impossible.
Death is none too good for the villain
who enters a house, ready to commit
murder if interfered with, terriiies women
and children in their own home, and
shoots man who resists the invasion.
The pecuniaTy wrong done is the most
insignificant part of the crime. Ger
tainly Imprisonment for life should be
the fate of every professional honSe
breaker who is caught and convicted,
while the present penalties might suffice
for the robbers who attack banks, ware
houses, and other buildings in which
thre are no sleeping families.

AUGUST IS, 1884, Grover Cleveland,
now under the forms and by nullifca-
ton of the Constitution President of the
United States, accepting the nomina-
ton purchased for him at Chicago, said
of the great Office to which he was
about to be called, by plurality in New
York of 1,047, obtained by counting
Ben Buffers votes for himself:
"When we consider the patronage of
this great office, the allurements of pow
er, the temptation to retain place once
gained, and, more than all, the availa-
bility party finds in an incumbent
whom horde of office holders, with a
zeal born of benefits and fostered by the
hope of favors yet to come, stand ready
to aid with money and trained political
service, we recognize in the eligibility of
the President for reelection serious dan
ger to that calm, deliberate and intelli-
gent political action which must char
acterize government by the people"
Gov. Hill does not quite see why one
term for man with such purity of
views is not enough. More than that,
there is a Hill party in Indiana, and in
Ohio and Maryland. We are entering
upon very interesting period of Amer

GENERAL SHERMAN'S
sTINGING ANSWER TO WADE HAMPTON'S
ATTACK.

sTINGING ANSWER TO WADE HAMPTON's
ATTACK.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A Herald re-
porter yesterday interviewed Gen. Sher-
man in regard to the long article by
Senator Wade Hampton on the burning
of Columbia, S. C. The Senator's story
of that event filled eleven columns of
the Charleston Ne1Cs and Courier of the
9Th inst. The Herald says:
"The article, from beginning to end
of its eleven columns, is bitter attack
upon Gen. Sherman, and bristles with
such phrases as General Sherman'S reck-
less disregard of TRUTH utterly unworthy
of credit he shall be dealt with as all
defamers deserve base and cOwardly
assaults Sherman is convicted by his
own statements of glaring inaccuracies,
not to use a harsher word &c. The
closing paragraph of Hampton's story
begins: There seems to be here the
usual discrepancy between the state
ments of Sherman and those of truthful
persons"
Gen. Sherman read the article yeSter-
terday, and then said, 'Why, bless your
soul, | have no answer to make to this
stuff. Lord bless you, it is not worth
the trouble. It's such an old, old story.
Wade Hampton knows as well as | do
that did not burn Columbia, but that
he did. | have told the story in my
memoirs.
"Why, look here" and Gen. Sherman
became earnest. "The town was of no
earthly consequence in military point
of view 1t was not worth burning
down. 1t was wretched little place
of no more account to us than a stump
by the roadside. 1t was merely stop
ping place for the night. We marched
on to Goldsboro next day.
81 had more important things to think
of than the burning of this stump by the
roadside was on my way to Richmond.
l was after Lees scalp. l had not
time or inclination to bother with the
miserable little place.
ats of no consequence to me wheth
er burned Columbia or not. But 1 sup
pose it's of a deal of consequence to
Wade Hampton down there to try and
show his friends and neighbOrs that he
did not before he ran away. As to an
swering this fellOw-this windbag Il
faugh! Hampton is braggart and a
blower. He always was. Did you ever
notice the weakness of some of these |
Southern fellows for blowing? How
they'll talk about their splendid estates,
their plantations, sir, when they have
a few measly acres, worth about five
dollars an acre? Hampton is of that sort.
"The whole question as to VINO burned
Columbia was sifted by the Information
al COMMISSIONS not over friendly |
body, before whom the British owners
of some of the cotton destroyed brought
their claims. If they could possibly
have shown that the U. 5. troops burned
that cotton they would have done so.
And they failed. And that settled it."

RAIN ON THE ROOF.

When the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
What a bliss TO press the pillow
OF ccItage-chamber bed
And lie listening TO the patter
of the soft rain overhead!
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart;
And a Thousand dreamy tancieS
Into busy being start.
And a thousand recOllectiOns
Weave their air-threads into wOof,
As listen to the patter
Of the rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother,
As she used in years agone,
To regard the darling dreamerS
Ere she lost them till the dawn;
Oh, | feel her fond look on me
As list TO this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patter of the rain.
Then my little Seraph sister,
With the wings and waving hair,
And her star-eyed cherub brother
A serene. angelic pair
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reprOOf,
= Iilra1, 70 tho F,ar1,-,,,aY
Of the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes, TO thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And | mind not, musing on her,
That her heart was all untrue.
| remember but to love her
With a passion kin TO pain,
And my hearts quick pulses quiver
To the patteT OF the rain.
Art hath not of tone or cadence
That can work with such spell
In the souls myteriOus fountains,
Whence the tears of rapture well.
As the melody of Nature,
That sdbdued, subduing strain
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patter of the rain.
