AS there are not enough farms in
Oklahoma to 90 round, the tide may
set back on to the bleak New England
shores and on the long-deserted farm $
in New Hampshire and Vermont the
tasselled corn again may nod, the
grasshopper disport himself among
the vines, and the supply of squash
bugs be renewed. Seriously, the
growing demand for fruits and fresh
dairy products, before which the pin
guild doughnut and the stratified pie
are slowly disappearing, justifies a
belief that there is as much money
in cows and Strawberries and apples
raised in these diggin's as in wheat,
corn and cattle on Western plains.
And an honest, prudent man can bor-
row money on an Eastern farm as
readily as on one beyond the Miss
issippi. As rule, too, better terms
with capitalists are possible when the
alleged security is nearer home.

with them until we came to another
street. We turned into it and found
our way out into the country and
spent the night under a tree. We
were free to try our luck again on
the road or give ourselves up. After
consulting while we concluded to
give it up and go to camp. We were
in no condition to escape, being rag
ged, foot-sore and covered with lice.
On our way to camp we met a man
with load of sweet potatoes. He
said he would take twelve dollars for
bushel. AS that was less than half
what we usually had to pay, we want
ed a bushel. | had no money, but
n orcross and Holden found enough
about their clothes to buy bushel.
| We did them up in a blanket and
carried them to camp, going direct to
headquarters and telling the captain
in charge we had got sick of tramping
rouE1 the country and proposed to
give ourselves up. After asking US
many questions he took us in and we
were prisoners again. | borrowed
some money of my old messmate,
Adams, paid for my share of the po-
tatoes, and went to messing with him
again and felt at home. Still | had
not given up making my escape. Soon
after this we were moved into the
city of Columbia and put into stock
ade connected with the Insane Asy-
lum. This find by referring to my
diary was on the 18th day of Decem-
ber, 1864. About this time my mon
ey came to me that my wife sent.
We could not get the greenbacks, but
had to take an order on the sutler for
seven dollars for one. This was bet
ter than nothing, because / could get
anything of the sutler. When l had
taken the order up except $50 they
gave me that in money.
In this place we suffered a great
deal; it was very cold and we were
thinly clad. The rebels furnished
material and we built tents, but our
wood supply was very small, only
lust enough to cook our victuals.
We had to walk around the camp to
keep from freezing. We had to lay
on the ground and many nights |
walked nearly all night to keep from
suffering with the cold. But such was

out of repair, my congress boots were
all worn out. In my next letter L

but also on account of it's desire to be
dilatory. 1t is a striking illustration
of this fact that the army is always
having trouble with the government
printing office. When every other
excuse for delaying reports has been
worn threadbare, the officers always
fall back upon the time honored
charge that it is the fault of the pub
lie printer. Other departments are
satisfied and their reports appear
promptly. After waiting four months
it is discovered that the army regis
ter even when issued has been wrong
ly indeXed, and it will take another
month to correct that defect. The
work of arranging the army regula-
tions has occupied the expensive at
tention of a board of officers for
nearly ten years and on the eve that
an anxious world breathlessly awaits
its positive appearance, it is discov-
cred that ''several important errors
on the part of the printer will delay
the publication. And yet the people
wonder that the public printers some
times stray from the narrow paths of
virtue and long to jump the fence and
vigorously toy with the army with an
AK.
Secretary Proctor regards Major
Lydecker's disregard of duty in the
inspection of work on the condemned
Washington acqueduct as an offence
which whitewashing board should
not be allowed to extenuate. He has
returned to the court martial the pa
pers in the case, with opinion that a
sentence of two years suspension is
not adequate. 1t is probable that the
court will not reconsider the sentence
and therefore a new court may be or
dered. Major Lydecker's reckless
neglect and selfish inattention to the
commonest duties entrusted to him
have cost the government and the
District of Columbia thousands and
thousands of dollars, and people not
specially interested in or belonging to
the army deem dismissal as the most
suitable sentence in this case.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, AprU 29th.

Washington, AprU 29th.
The old Spanish ideal diplomat of
three centuries ago, dark, affable,
suave, plausible, skilled IN fence and
restless as a Gagged eagle, has gone
wofully out of style. Now we expect
diplomats merely to be representa-
tives of social life, to 90 out to great
dinners, and return them if possible.
Therefore, the first question asked re-
garding a newly appointed minister
to frst-class power is, how rich is
he? That question satisfactorily an
swered, all the rest is smooth sailing,
and we feel really only amusement
when men like James Russell Lowell
and Mr.. Phelps come back from Eng
land as English as the most exacting
Anglo-maniac could wish.
If it be then that the position is
purely a social one in every element,
the diplomats wife is of scarcely less
national Importance than the diplo-
mat himself. If Secretary Blaine
and President Harrison had selected
the corps abroad with sole regard to
the female presentation, there could
hardly have been greater success.
Mrs. Lincoln, wife of the minister
to England, has had long and bril-
liant social xperience,a las the budding
daughter of the then Senator Harlan
during the war and the reconstruction,
and later as member of the cabinet
circle, when her husband was secre-
tary of war. Few women are more
genuinely and unconsciously Ameri-
can in every thought and action. Her
social status is so we'll defined and
her experience so broad that there is
no danger that she will be overwhelm-
ed or socially bullied by London So
ciety. A grown daughter, a son aged
sixteen and a younger daughter ac-
company their parents.
Younger than Mrs. Lincoln by
many years, is Mrs. Whitelaw Reid,
daughter of d. 0. Mills, the million
aire of California creation. She is
very attractive in appearance, of the
blonde order, above the medium
height, and is notable in dress for
subdued colors. Mr.. Reid will rent
a magnificent hotel in Paris, and it is
safe to say that his own thousands,
ably assisted by the Mills millions,
will create respectable sensation
even at the French Capital. They
will take with them their son of sew
en- and daughter, tot of five years.
To the land of Andalusia, where

The wife of Col. Fred Grant was

and somewhat of linguist. There

In the following editorial para
graph the american CuHiUat0r gives
eastern investors in western farm
mortgages something to think of ::
"Kansas farms are mortgaged for
S2S5, 100000, which, at eight per
cent, makes an annual interest of
nearly S23, 100000. This is more
than the value of the Kansas wheat
crop. It takes a great deal of money
out of the state, as large part of
this sum is loaned by eastern cap
italists. Bad as this may seem for
Kansas farmers, it is not clear that it
is a good thing for the money-lender.
Sooner or later the burden will be-
come greater than the farmers can
bear. To sell a large part of the
produce of a farm for interest or rent
is the sure way to impoverish it. Be-
fore the capitalists knows what is
being done, he finds that his princi-
pal has vanished. In place of his
money he will be left with a lot of
land whose decreasing fertility makes
it no longer worth cultivating, and
therefore practically worthless. The
safety of loans on land consists not
in present value of the property, but
on what is being done with it. If it
is growing better all the time by good
farming, it is good security for al
most any amount. If it is growing
poorer, it is probably no security at

The Montpelier Watchnaan we'll
says = commissioner Valentine,
who has been entrusted with the bus
mess of booming Vermont, should
take a hint from the method of the
boomers of the one hundred and one
projects outside of Vermont, into
which her people are putting money
by thousands and tens of thousands.
If half that is done in Vermont for
Fort Payne, Munice, Texas, ETC.,
were done in Vermont for the places
where there is money to invest and
people who want land, wealth would
be flowing into the state. At present
Vermont is very much like goose
who eagerly submits to be plucked to
make soft beds for other communi-
ties, while her own people bunk on
straw. These real estate booms NAV
be all they are advertised neverthe-
less it is a matter for regret and So
licitude that so much money that is
needed at home is steadily flowing
out of the state. - Windsor Journal.

1t is estimated that the flowers used
in the decoration of the churches of
New York city for Easter cost over
100000, apropos to which the Ifib-
une says it is becoming a question
with many, even of those most anx-
ious to honor Easter, whether the ex-
penditure of so much money in this
way is not mistake. Originally the
custom was beautiful bit of relig-
ious symbolism, and as such served a
legitimate function in the services of
the day; but it is gradually acquiring
business and spectacular quality,
encouraged by the florists and patron
lied by fashion, until the religious
idea is nearly lost sight of. Fashion
has done much to make both Lent
and Easter ridiculous and it is time
for religious people to recognize the
fact, and do something to bring out
into clearer view the religious idea
underlying these seasons.

Qualifications of Supervisors.

One of the most spirited and prac-
tical addresses made at the Windham
county educational meeting was by
DIR. Holton of the Brattleboro school
board. He explained that one>rea-
son why Vermont shows such an ap
parently large percentage of illitera-
cy it because the school age fixed by
her laws heretofore has been from
Eve to twenty years, while in most
states the school age is from five to
fifteen. Under our new law it is from
five to eighteen. We are not going
to stop to criticise the law and con-
demn it in advance, the doctor forci-
bly, said; we are going to put every
man his shoulder to the wheel. and
compel it to be success. If the law
is failure, it will be because the
county boards do not elect good su-
pervisors the responsibility is with
them. In his mind there were four
essential qualifications for the super
visors to possess. They should be,
first, educated men; second, practi-
cal teachers third, up in the meth
DDS of to-day; fourth, men of char
acter, of tact and of ability to create
enthusiasm; they ought to "bristle
all over with enthusiasm and be
able to get right at the people and the
teachers, and help them out of their
difficulties. If he were a member of
the county board, he would not let
politics, friendship or religion have a
feathers weight in making his choice;
he should look for the best man-and
it should be remembered that the law
does not restrict the choice to resi-
dents of the county or of the state.
