"a Chapter on Town Farmers.

One of the most amusing and enter.
tanning characters We have among US is
the town farmer. he has small patch
or two near the incorporate limits of the
town, upon which he makes costly ex-
periments and realizes small profits or
heavy losses. About this season of.the
year he is busy preparing some scientific
compost from. material saved by an ex-
pensive system of economy on his small
place. To make sure of results be adds
8 lot Of commercial fertilizers which
gives virtue to his manure in spite of
the litter and rubbish he has collected.
In many cases his compost is made of
diverse materials and one ingredient
neutralizes the valuable property of the
others, Or he puts the kind of fertilizer
on sandy spots which should go on his
red land. He spreads it 80 literally that
his crop is killed if the seasons are dry,
or it runs to stalk If it rains. His plan,
iffolloued generally, would bring the
country to want in the course ota year.
The only thing the town farmer has to
redeem his reputation is his barley patch
upon which he has used stable manure.
That looks we'll and gives him some.
thing To talk about to the country far.
mer.
The town farmer is great hand to
talk. In the long summer days he can
look at thunder cloud as it rises in the
west and tell when it will rain. As the
season advances he can sit in the cool
shade and calculate the probable size of
the growing crop Of cotton. His knowl.
edge of figures comes in handy at such
times. He is master at terraeing land
and knows all about undertaking and
using terra Gotta tiles and other new
devices. He is the first man to geta
new fashionable horse collar, regardless
ofexpense, and an improved plow is his
delight. Set a new style cotton planter
in front Of a store, and the first sunshiny
day you will see half dozen or more town
farmers around examining it. They will
have segars between their lips, and their
knives out whiting pieces from a dry
goods box. One of the number will run
it back and forward on the level street
and see how it drops the handful of
cotton seed with which they have loaded
the machine for the experiment. 1t
don't take long to decide upon the merits
of any machine, for they never: think
about talking into consideration the
stumps and rocks run against on coun.
try farm.
With all his failures and his conceit,
the town farmer is an interesting char.
acter. His talk is entertaining and he
does the community no harm. BE is 9
standing, OF rather sitting, example OF
the dignity of labor, and proof that
there is money in town farming "over
the eft."-AbbeuiNe Medium.

Northern Words of Cheer.

New YORK. March 17.-Brevet Major
General Baisd has written letter from
Washington to Secretary Oliver Down
ing, of the New York citizens committee,
engaged for raising funds for a national
confederate home at Austin, Texas.
General Baird opens in this way; "The
fact that portion of our countrymen are
in distress and need pecuniary aid is a
sufficient appeal to the generous and
kind. hearted. 1t is not necessary, nor
is it magnanimous, to inquire how they
came to want. have strongly indorsed
General sherman's proposition to open
the homes provided for our scared and
honored veterans to those disabled in
different causes"
General Baird concludes:
"While the distinguished leaders of the
rebellion hold high positions in the gov
ernment and are welcomed in all our
own social gatherings, it seems to me
strained sentimentality to pronounce the
one.legged confederate an unfit compan.
ion for our own battle bruised, but much
respected old soldiers

;at first though. that there WAS nothing
against her, but tits now proven that she
lis very corrupt. It is reported that q
prominent citizen saw her and Mellow

ago. Captain Dawson's servants say that
when Mrs. Dawson was in Washington
some. e.time ago, Mel Dow, from his house,
watched regularly for Captain Dawson
totleave for his business, after which he
would go to Captain Dawson's house and
remain there several hours with the
French nurse. Mrs. Dawson, Of course,
has been entirely ignorant Of these re:
ports, but q prominent citizen, who is
also q friend ofthe family, has informed
Mrs. Dawson's physician Of the facts
above narrated, and Mrs. Dawson will be
advised Of this by him. & It has been i'm.
possible to interview the nurae, owing to
her residence in Mrs. Dawson's house,

Nothing doing IN the stosk mar
ket," said a prominent shipper this
morning in response TO a question from
the EEFLECToR. The prospect for
an immense corn crop has made the
farmers exceedingly Indifferent about
selling ter hogs. All the spring and
summer they have TUNED off almost
anything, lac matter whether the ami
mails wee IN condition Or not, because
they did not wish to buy grain to
feed tntm. AS a result we have had
a full market with lightweight hogs.
Now, however, since the heavy rams
have come, and tue prospect for corn
has insured plenty of grain for feeding
purposes, the farmers prefer to hold
their hogs aud as result we can bay
scarcely any. When we do buy We
have 10 bid very high on them and
allow ourselves narrow margin. As
soon as the corn crop is harvested fat
