Nh. EpiroR; The old year. has passed,
Christmas times srs ever, and Il 10 time we
should have formed new plans for 1889 and
begin operations to execute them. 1t makes
no difference as 10 our calling or our profess
sion, whether We be Merchants, Lawyers,
Doctors, Preachers, Farmers, or what not,
we eau never succeed in any business unless,
We give it eur time and talent. II We would
know aud protect our interest We must study
our business. Doctors shoald not use their
practice to oppress any class. Lawyers
cannot afford to waste their time and talent
in hammcring down any other profession,
and what would be worse fer tho meIchaut to
use the means in his power to Cypress and
hold down those who favor him with their
patronage and for the Farmer to try to pull
down those Of other callings would be
equally as bad.
As matter Of course, all these different
occupations or professions are dependent on
each other for support. For instance, the
farmers n ust, sometimes, Of necessity en-
ploy . lawyer or Doctor, very often mer-
chant, and some few times, on Thursdays, o
preacher Is needed, and he is always will
ling to accommodate if he does get badly
scared now aud thep.
Mr.. Editor. there is an erroneous 'idea
among some people in this country in regard
to the Alliance movemsnt-that Of organic
! ing to break down the merchants. Let us
correct it by saying the Alliance was only
organized for self protection; and lot mo
sny further, if there are any Of this class
| Of people who expect the Alliance to feed
| and clothe them, pay their washing bills,
| drive their pleasure carriages to their door,
| ETC., they have made a miscalculation and
must get on another train; aud may We al
| ways be on hand to flag down any train thai
may endanger safe passage Of the much
| talked of Alliance.
One other thought in regard to tho Far
mers movement: 1t is high time We we're
laying aside "beok- farming or newspaper
farming, theorizing or guessing and reason
ing out plans for other people to follow. In
stead of these, select from others experience
such as will best suit our case aud 60 to sx-
perimeuting on our own hook, not try to
catch somo ones theory carry it out to th'
letter and fail, probably on account Of the
kind Of land, kind of seed or something
else, then find the promised big increase ii
a failure and blame the plan. We mus
exercise just little common sense Of our owr
it is not as sharp as some, and We will b'
misunderstood we say, "strive to learn from
| all things" and not confne ourselves en-
tirely to theories in agricultural journals.

9 An EXTINCT VoLcAHo FouNp.-Birming-
ham, Ala, Jan. 24.-For two months men
have been tunneling Red Mountain, two
ni1es from this city, the object being 10 al
low the passage ofwater from the Cstawsa
River 70 BirmiBgbam. From the north
heading the tunnel has bsen eomplsted .
distance Of three hundred feet. A few days
ago the workmen struok cave. This was
soon passed, leaving small openings on each
side OF the tunnel One day last week an
immense amount Of dirt and rock from above
caved in, completely filling the tunnel for q
distance Of ffty feet.
When this had been cleared away the
workmen found themselves in the centre Of
= large rock-walled room. The cave on the
left of the tunnel remained unchanged, but
the opening on the right hand extended un-
til it was about fifty feet in length and IF
teen feet high. Some Of the men started to
explore the cave. After few winding pas
sages they came to an immense opening the
descent Of which was almost perpendicu lar
The passages leading to it were carefully
examined. The walls were of solid rock, +,
with only small crevice here and there.
At ono place spring Of clear water was
found. When first discovereda bold stream
was flowing, but presently it ceased. hf,er
an hour or two it began again. At the be-
ginning Of these priodicsl spurts the water
is very cold, but it gets warmer apd war
mer until towards the close it has attain ed
the boiling point. 1t smells like sulphur.
Huge stones were rolled to the entrances
Of the pit and pushed in, but nobody heard
them strike. An engineering expert, who
has visited several extinct craters, and
whose knowledge Of geology is not limited
rays the character of the rock and every
thing about the place indicates that the tun
mel has encountered section Of the crater
Of o lsng extinct volcano. The point where
the opening was found is 300 feet from the
north heading Of the tunnel and 400 fee
below the surface of the mountain.
