The Farmers Creed.

AS a farmer, 1 subscribe to the fol-
lowing articles Of faith:
| l. That the farming interest lies at
the foundation of the success of all
other avocatiOns and a failure in it
means depression in all other pursuits.
2. That it is as honorable to be a
good farmer as to be a good anything
else that every successful farmer
does receive his need of praise, and
only the successful in all other callinos
receive the same.
5. That success a only be obtained
by a strict observance of the laws of
success. These are, first, attend to
and overlook your business yourself;
don't trust it to a free negro MOI a lazy
white man second, always commence
in time and pillow deep in the prepar-
alton, if you break the clay knee
deep without turning it on the surface,
so much the better, fertilize well and
cultivate shallow corn should Re put
six inches in the ground and covered
one and a half or two inches, so that
it will be four inches below the sur
face when it Games up.
Raise all the corn, meat. oats. and
other grain you need to run the farm.
1t is a reflection upon a mans farming
sense to have to send off to the North
west for corn and meat in the spring
when we can raise it here so much
cheaper. If you raise all YOU con-
sumo on the farm, then plant as much
cotton as you please.
4. Raise and save all manure YOU can
on the farm and compost with bone
dust or phosphate. Keep 40 useless
stock to eat up all the profits of the
farm.
.. Rotate crops, and don't run the
land to death with the same crop,
year after year.
6. Keep out Of debt if such a thing
is possible. 1t is big per cent that
builds fine brick houses for mer-
chants and enables them to accumu-
late large fortunes; it is not made
out of the each purchaser.
Z. Be honest pay your debts if you
have made any. The world cannot
respect II dishonest man and he cannot
respect himself, and he is put at great
disadvantage with little hope of sue
cess.
=. Cultivate we'll and. often; push
the crop and don't suffer it to push you.
.: Build a good fence, pig tight and
mule high, and don't pile logs and
brush in the fence corners; keep the
bushes cut out and the fence corners
clean.
10. Keep sober and read good books
and paper. The one will vu;de. ro,
TO heaven, and the other, i fnOt wealth,
to independence. peace and plenty.
This is part of my creed but not all
my faith ; but this article is already
too lOng.-COr. in Southern C%ultirator.

While these ANIMAL conventions re-

While these annual conventions re-
suit in the furtherance of the general
welfare Of the State, the locality and
ssctionywhere they are held are pecu-
liarly favored. They are fully written
up and extensively advertised and the
attention Of the outside world called to
them. This was we'll illustrated in
the result of the convention which was
held in Lake Charles two years ago.
1t attracted to that town and the par
ish of Calcasieu numbers of immi-
grants, many of whom had never heard
of the place before.
Thibodaux is to be peculiarly favor
ed by the meeting of the press associa-
ton, and we trust that our citizens
will duly appreciate the honor and see
to it that everything is done to tender
our distinguished guests an appropriate
reception. Lafourche is a rich parish
and owes it to herself to allow no place
to excel her in her hospitality.
The president of the police jury and
the mayor, acting on the suggestion of
some of II public spirited citizens,
have called a mass meeting for next
Saturday, for the purpose of inangur-
ahng measures looking to the proper
reception and entertainment of the
members of the coming conventions.
Let every patriotic citizen make it his
duty to attend this meeting and lend
a helping hand to the good cause. If
the people want they can make the
matter a grand success, and we say let
the people take the matter in charge
and carry it to a successful issue.

The great want of this age is men
men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest. sound from center to cir
conference, true to the hearts core.
Men who will condemn wrong in
friend or foe, whose consciences are
~ steady as the needle to the pole.
Men who will stand for the right if
the heavens totter and the earth reels.
Men who can tell the truth and look
the devil right in the eye. Men that
neither brag nor run. Men that neith-
er flag nor finch. Men who can have
courage without shouting it. Men
in whom the courage of everlasting
life runs still, deep and strong. Men
too large for sectional bonds. Men
who do not cry nor cause their voices
to be heard on the streets, but who
will not fail mol be discouraged tin
Judgment be set in the earth. Men
who know their message and tell it.
Men who know their places and I'LL
them. Men who mind their own bust
ness. Men who will not lie. Men
who are not too lazy to work, nor too
proud to be poor. Men who are will
ing to eat what they have earned, and
wear what they have paid for.-Ex-

We We're informed recently that
some of our parishioners in remote
parts of the parish were laboring un-
der the impression that taxes had to
be paid on children, and that in con-
sequence of this there had been a
disposition on the part of some to
evade giving the number of children
when filling out their assessment
blanks. This is a pernicious idea,
and we hope it will no longer prevail.

rate for steerage passage Is little over $780, so
that allowing $50 for the Chinese trip, one could
get around 70 London for $3.50. Twenty five
more would bring him back to New York, and
the actual expenses would be less than $780,
These figures give the rates for the cheapest
accommodations on every vessel, and persons
who take such trip must not expect TO live
like lords. However if they should add two
hundred dollars to this amount and make the
sum $500 they could take many trips into the
interior Of the countries Mt which tho ship
stopped. and come home considerably more
than $500 richer in information, If they were
that much poorer in pocket. II takes Is days
TO go across the Pacific Ocean, and during our
trip we had $50 Chinese travellers in the
steerage. These men paid sos for their board,
and during the 5000 miles of travel between

lived as well as they had lived in China.

Mormon DIsioyalty.

Much excitement has been stirred up in Salt
Lake City by testimony given by aged and
respectable men rs to the reasonable oaths all
Mormons were required 10 take. The matter
came up on objection 10 the naturaliz ation of
Mormons for an important municipal election,
which is To take place next February The
Genties resisted the naturalization on the
ground that tho Mormons had disqualified
themselves from becoming loyal citizens. A
number of Mormons of the best standing i'm the
city. testified that they had been compelled to
take oaths in the Endowment House binding
themselves TO obey the priesthood in all things
religious political, social aud financial They
had to swear eternal enmity to the Govern
mont Of tho United States, to avenge tho death
Of Joseph Smith, and 10 teach this as "a solemn
duty TO their children and their chldren's
children. They had also TO promise to uphold
the institution of polygamy. The penalty for II
failure TO obey these oaths was to have their
Threats cut from ear to ear, their hearts and
tongues cut out and be disemboweIed. One
man. who had been II Mormon for 40 years, aud
ID Bishop for Is years. testified that he knew of
several men being murdered for violation Of
these Oaths. Martin ID. Waddell, who Joined
the Church at Pittsburg in l847. and was for q
long time superintendent OF the Church Car
pentering, described the infection of the pun
ishment on a man named Green, which he
witnessed. Green's property, which was con-
siderable, was appropriated by the Church and
taken to the Chief Tithing House.
