The Tenants Crop.

The tobacco industry is one of the greatest Of this section of the country,
 as it is made a speciality by the people.
 on the principle that there is more money in it than any thing else. It is the only crop that land tenants have an assurance of getting something out of, and as long as the price keeps up to a figure in the ncighborhoOG of ten cents their expectations are usually realized. No one should raise tobacco except tenants, from the fact that there arc so many tenants who are able and willing to take charge of piece of land and cultivate it, and yet there
 is not enough land to meet their requirements. Whenever the landlords add to the vol ume of production-an and when we say land ords in relation to this mat ter. we mean men who have large farms who are not compeled to culti- vate tobacco, but really ought to look after other crops, and keep their farms in repair. As they get half of the to- bacco produced on their farms they can afford it for two very important reasons. One, that the production is lessened. and consequently the market is not overstoched, and fair prices rule as general result. The other reason is, it gives the landlord a oha,oa fo laoly oftar tho detail = of his farm and keep 1t pro-

ductivc and in repair, and by both | means he secures more net profit with
 less trouble and labor The man who | does otherwise is simply the man who kills tho goose that lays the golden egg, and is impoverishing the land,
 the tenant and himself. Avaricious- ness ofttimes leads men to overstep the bounds of discretion, and especial ly in an inordinate desire for the al- mighty dollar, and this disposition is the greatest draw back to the profit of the tobacco growers, because manage ment and good generalship is lost sight of in selfish individualities. Of course there are farmers owning little places who perhaps owe on them and must util- ize every force to pull through, aud these arc not included in the aforementioned category. But even they can exercise better management by controlling the production, produc- ing nothing but iirst-class article, and assisting in organizing and per petuating an organization for the cn- lightment and protection of their fell low tobacco-growers This conclusion will be demonstrated as the true solu- tion of the porplcxing question, How shall we keep up the price of tobacco?' and there is a gradual veer- ing in that direction. All will De bet
 ter paid for their labor, and the drudgery will be largely reduced. Give the tenant a chance to mako D decent and comfortable living and every body else will likewise prosper. Warsaw (ky.) Independent.

The customer was d prudent matron from the country, caref ful in her shop ping.
 Tt is a pretty piece of goods, she said, 'and just the color want; but I am afraid it will not wash
 One of tho shop-girls behind the counter bowed indifferently, and turned away. The other said eager ly: Are you going to another part | of the store, madam? For it is my lunch hour, and 1 will take sample to the basement and wash and dry it for you before you come backP'
 The colors of the fabric proved to be fast, and the customer bought it., and asked the name of the obliging shop-girl. A year afterwawd she was again in the same store, and on in quiry learned that the girl was at the head of the department
 "She put as much life into her work as ten other women" said the man. ager.
 One of the most prominent business mon of New York said once: "I have always kept close watch on my em- ployes, and availcd myself of any hint which would show me which of them possessed the qualities requisite for success for themselves and usefulness to me. One day, when l was passing the window Of the counting-room I observed that the moment the clock struck six all Of the clerks, with but one exception, laid down their pens, though in the middle of d sentence and took up their hats. One man alone continued writing. The others soon passed out of the door.
 Petit, said one, has waited to finish his paper, as usual
 "'Ycs called to him to como on, but he said that if this was his own business he would finish the paper be- fore he stopped work
 The more fool he, I would not work for company as for myself
 The men caught sight of me and stopped talking, but after that l kept my eye on Petit, who worked after hours on my business because he would have done it on his own,' and he is now my junior partner.
 The success Of n young man or wom- an in any work or profession depends largely on the spirit which he or she puts into it, Many good workmen who are faithful to the letter of their con tract with their employers remain salesmen and ok-keepers until they are gray-hcaded, while others pass over them and become heads of estab- liShments of their own. To the first class their employment is only so much work for so much wages; they have no heart in it; to the second. accord ing to tho old significant phrase. it is an outlet for all of their own energy aud ambition. An engine, perfectly finished and competent for it's work, with no fire in it, is a fit type of the first class the same en- zine with its steam up, rushing along the track, of the second. Be sure, boys that you are able for your work and arc on the right track. Then don't spare the steam!-Youth's Com panion.

Grapes in North Carolina.

The ease with which the vine is cul tivated in the Carolinas, and the fine flavor and quality of wines made from native grapes, has led to tho planting of many vineyards in the Old North State of late, some of which are al- ready famous for their fine grapes and large yield. The finest Of these vine- yards are found upon the steep south eastern slopes Of rocky hillsides, look ing down upon the fields of grain be- low, and are in autumn loaded with enormous yields of luscious fruit, vary ing through all the shades of color from dark purple to a rich, golden green. The soil is guiltless of vcgeta- ble or animal fertilizers for grape vines, their theory being that in the dlsintegration of rocks the roots find phosphates which increase the yield of the vines. and add to tho flavor of the fruit, without over stimulating it to a growth of leaves and luXuriancc, and causing the grapes to rot. as ami nal and vegetable manures do.

 l visited this afternoon tho Van. derbilt of China. He is relative of the Chinese Minister at Washinoton
 and his grandfather died less than a generation ago leaving an estate of fifty million hard gold dollars. His name is How Qua. and he has acres of houses Tn the busiest part of Canton, his own residence occupies the site of a gOodsized farm, and he has diamonds and pearls by the cupful. One of his diamonds, worth $60, 900, was sent to England to be sold not long ago, and 1t is probably now in the jewel casket of one of the monarchs of Europe. He has plantations of rice fields and many acres Of the choicest tea gardens His money is well invested and he would approach the wealth of Jay Gould were it not that the officials every now and then come down upon him for a gift of from Sl0, 900 to $100, 900, and he dare not refuse. This rich man is now forty-nine years old, though he does not look over thirty-five He is a typical Chinaman of the literary class, has a broad, high forehead, thin. yellow checks, and eyes that shine as brightly as his choicest diamonds His hair is like jet and his queue reaches to his ankles. He was dressed in silks and fur when he received me, and he had a tight, round black silk skull cap on the top of his head. He shook his own hands before his breast in Chinese salutation when our American Consul, Mir. Seymour, introduced me to him, and then he reached out his long, nailed fingers ana grasped my hand a la Americaine. Il c. Carpenter, in N. '. World.

In 1609Xpter tp11els1ig tho Hudson River from its mouth to Albany, and care fully noting the grandeur and beauty on either site of this magnificent highway Of nature, Hendrick Hudson wrote these words /
 Tt Is ay beautiful land as one can tread upon Y
 Twol hundred and eighty years have mar velousiy increased the beauty of the great river called by his name, and could he re. turn to the scenes of his manhood, he would find many more lovely sights than those upon which his eyes rested in the early part of tho seventeenth century. The natural beauties of the Hudson arc much the same, and no description can eXaggerate them; but the magnificent steamers that ply between New York and Albany, the innumerable sailing craft that dot the SUI face of the mighty river, the never-cndlng clusters of can al boats that are being lowed up and down, the beautiful villas that one encounters at every turn, the magnificent monuments, perpetuating heroic deeds that we find here and there along the banks of this noblest rlyer Of the continent, add an endless va riety to the scenery, and resistless charm to the eye of the traveller.
 The Now York Central and Hudson River Railroad runs along the bank of the Hudson river the entire distance between New \ ork and Albany, and IS the great Trunk Line that connects the metropolis of the Western world with the famous health and pleasure resorts of Central, Northern and Western New Nork, including in its list the CatslIill Mountains, Saratoga, Lake George, Sharon and Richtield Springs, Lake OntG R, the Berkshire Hills, Niagara Falls, u hou- sand Islands, Lake Champaign, the \St. Lawrence, and hundreds of others.
