Some men think six acres Is too small
a quantity of hand TO be honored with the
name of farm, sut correspondent Of the
Massachusetts, Piovglman in describing
the six acre homestead of Mr.. Horace
Eaton, living near Quincy, Mass, says
that whether il is right OF not TO call it a
farm. one thing is certain-Mr. Eaton
raises more Off bis six acres than do some
of his neighbors of their two or three
hundred acre farms. He keeps four, and
sometimes five COWS, two horses, a num-
Der of hogs, and large lot Of poultry
lie does not raise enough hay and grain
to carry his stock through the year, but
as he soils his mich cows in the summer,
and raise. roots and green fodder ensilage
for them in winter, he has very little
provender TO buy. and the quality OF his
butter is such as to bring him sixty cents
a pound the whole year round, the rich
ness of his Hsiik, too, telling the care tax

specially. he sending some Of the finest
specimens to the Boston market, as well
as taking number Of prizes al the an
nual exhibitions OF the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society. He raises straw
berries in gre { variety, and ships num-
bers of his plants to various parts Of the
country. He practices severe pruning of
his vines and rigid thinningof has fruit

cry inch of il being made to count. His
barn is model one, and supplied with
all the modern conveniences. He keeps
one man the whole year round, and
another man during the working season.
About one acre Of his estate is occupied
with buildings, among which stands one
of the most elegant mansions in the town

there is neither hedge, wall or fence TO

On Wednesday evening Andrew Carnegie
mailed the following letter TO James NJ.
swapk, the iron staiistician. ofPhiladelphia.
Ii refers to a conversation had with Con-
gresham Scott by Mr.. Carnegie when the
latter appeared before the Peace Commission
on Federal Relations. about two months ago
at Washington
PIrrsBURGH, May 10th.
james Dr. .Sra,k Secretary AD.erioan Iron q

DEAR SfR:--1n reply TO your inquiry,
beg 10 state exactly what occurred between
Ways and Means Committee at Washington
] said TO Mr. Scott q You have been max
ing speeches around the country saying that
] would mt consent to become an American
citizen, and that was a foreigner profiting
by The high Tariff Mr.. Scott said that he
had made that statement under a misappre-
hcnsion. and he now knew it was not true
He had read Triumphant Democracy, and
knew that was an intensely patriotic Amer
ican. He promised me not to repeat IT,
said There is another statement you have
made which is equally incorrect, namely
that / took 81, ,5eo,O00 of dividends, from my
manufacturing interests in one year.
gave away in one year 81 900 600 TO found
three public libraries. and had given about
500 900 before, and | explained 10 Mr.. Scott
that these libraries would not be finished for
several years.
Mr.. Scott appeared satisfied with the ex.
PLANTATION, and said was entitled to credit
for the disposition had made and was max
ing of my means.
So far from ever having drawn SI,500,0o0
from our firm in any one year, have never
drawn 81 900 900, nor 500, coo. nor any sum
approaching it, The money that we have
earned has mainly gone into new and inn
proved works to develop still further the re-
sources of this great Republic. So far from
the steel-raii industries of this country hav-
ing been excessively profitable. the capital
invested has scarcely yet received a moderate
return There are eleven large steel-rail
manufacturing works in America. and Of
these five have failed and have been reorgan-
lied, two of them twice.
There is no steel-rail monopoly. Anybody
is free TO enter upon the manufacture of steel
rails. There are no patents. If Mr.. Scott
really believed that the profits of the iron and
steel business were beyond the average, it is
strange that he did not continue TO operate
the iron mill at Erie, in which he once en-
barked. He can to-day purchase the shares
of most of the steel-rail manufacturing con-
Germs in This country for less money than
there is capital invested. AS for one steel
rail anufacturiDg concern making s., ZOO, :
600 per annum, all the steel rail companies
of this country will not make 50 ,000, 900 pro-
tit this year. nor anything like so great a
sum. With the capacity to manufacture
double the amount OF rails required, the steel
rail mills of this country have nothing 10
look forward 10 for some time but severe
struggle 10 run part of their works and main
tain their organizations. The present price
of rails-S;;0 at works-shows what we have
10 expect Yours very respectfully,

Having a Lively Tariff Talk.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May l6.-The tariff
debate to-day was exciting and interesting.
At one point, where Messrs. Mills, Bland
and dozen other free traders attempted to
prevent the questioning of Mr.. Russell, of
Massachusetts, the House got away from
the chairman entirely, and at another time
Dalzell of Pittsburg brought Scott angrily to
his feet and almost precpitated another scene
Mr.. Dalzell, who after long waiting OBJ
tanned ten minutes in which to reply to Mr..
Scott's speech, proved that that time was
sufficient not only to demolish Mr.. Scott's
statement, but to make Mr. Scott himself
very wrathful. He wound up by warning
Mr.. Scott against personal attacks and say

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Ingalls,
may be relied upon to oppose Mr.. Fuller's
nomination. if what he said last night at the

remarks were all the more remarkable be-
cause the nomination is executive business,

atorial secrecy. and Senator Ingalls, is lead
ing member of the judiciary Committee

said, +" cannot, of course, speak but if the

mon accusation and averment are true the
Chief Justiceship is liable 10 be filled by
man, who during that great struggle, the
supreme crises of the national life, was OPP
posed TO every measure that was adopted for
the preservation of our existence who de-
clared that the-exile of Vallandlngham was
an outrageous invasion of the rights of the

rnents and 1.-The great statutes of freedom that

THE GEORGIA REPUBLICANS.

Alger Funds Thought to be Circulating
Freely-The Contest from the Tenth.
ATLANTA, June 14.-Sunday morning the
delegation from Georgia to the national re-
publican convention will leave Atlanta for
Chicago, where they will whoop things up
for the &. o. p. The delegation, while
it goes uninstructed, is thought to be
mostly for John Sherman, with James G..
Blaiue out Of the way. Col A. f.. Buck
will be the chairman of the delegation,
and will pretty much control the
vote of the entire twenty-four DELE
gates. The delegates residing in Atlanta
are 10th TO DO interviewed and only say
that they are going TO Chicago to nominate
n man that will win. Col. Buck, however,
is known to be a warm Sherman man, and
has had frequent correspondence Of lato
with the Ohio senator in reference to the
outlook. He and Senator Malone of Vir-
ginia, have corresponded for some time rs
TO the chances of Sherman 10 secure the
vote of the southern delegates.
The delegates from Georgia have boon
beseged with campaign matter OF late.
The colored delegation has especially been
remembered. Extensive biographies have
been received by them Of ex-Gov. Alger
of Michigan, Pen Harrison Of Indiana, aad
William Walter Phelps of New Jersey.
The Agor boom has taken a decided boom
in Georgia, and it is asserted that Alger
will get five votes from the delegation on
first ballot, with a probable increase TO
eight on the second. Gen. Alger has sew
eral strong friends in Atlanta, who will do
oil they can towar1 helping him IN the del
egation. 1t is said that agents Of Gen.
Alger have been busy in Georgia using the
pocketbook argument among the suscepti-
BILE delegates. Whether or not IL be true
that tho agents are using Alger's "favorite
sinews of war;" cannot be said for certain.
but that his agents are doing interchangeable
work cannot be denied.

Tenth will be holly contested by r, II.

Took Poison and Died.

from the Canton NGdJ ADVANCE.
Last Tuesday morning Mrs. NJ. w Gober
was feeling badly and thought she would
take about a teaspoonful Of paregoric to re-
lieve her suffering The paregoric vial and
several others were upon the mantle piece
and by mistake she took up a vial of medicine
which DR.. Turk had left with her some
months ago to be given the baby in small
doses, and drank pretty large swallow out
of it. She at once realized a kind of burn
ing, tingling sensation and went down stairs
to see her mother about it. Her mother adj
vised her to go and lie down, thinking she
would soon get over the strange sensa-
ton and feel better As she turned to go
up the steps she found her limbs were be-
coming benumbed, and it was with diff
Guilty she assembled tire stairs. She soon
grew worse and becoming alarmed sent for
DR.. Coleman, who came at once, and, after
making hurried examination, found that
she had taken a large dose of a deadly poi
son, and that it would be next to impossible
to save her, as the poison had been taken
upon an empty stomach and had become
well digestcd, However, he went to work
and did his best, but all was in vain, for in
about two hours after he was called in she
died in great agony with convulsions. She
lived only about three hours after taking
the medicine.
