Merits of Southern Women.

mtTlIS oI oOuI1SIIl WOiHSIls
Sunny SOUTH
Northern people have always had a
good many queer notions about their
cousins down this way, and the
queerest of all is the notion that the
Southern women are not practical.
On the contrary, the women of the
South take to business as naturally
as a duck does to water. They have
not the tendency to isms that the fair
Northerners boast of, thank the Lord.
Their way is to take things as they
find them aud make the best of the
situation. Without the least ap-
pearence OF effort or sounding OF TOM
toms, they 60 quietly about paying
their own way, and their failures are
too few to talk about. 1t was moth
ing uncommon in old times to see
woman riding about in the fields
bossing the negroes and the overseer.
She usually supplemented this care
on her OWE account with a general SUI
pervision of the country side, and her
masculine neighbors were only too
glad to consult her on matters of COM
mon interest. Many debt-burden-
ed estate has been freed by the femi-
nine turn for detail, a faculty that
too many planters lacked before and
since the war.

SOME little CONSERVATION has been
caused in yellow fever districts by the
announcement made in a letter, Of eX-
mayor of Pensacola, that smugglers
and coasters are continually landing
on the coast of lower Florida direct
from Cuba and other fever infected
islands, and that unIessssome proper
steps are taken to prevent this inter-
course yellow fever may be planted
at any time. Very little effort on the
part of the government would be
needed to stamp out this trade and
prevent the consequences that are so
likely to follow if this intercourse is
not stopped. These smugglers and
coasters are filthy, many of them, and
the very best means possible ofspread-
ing the germs of yellow fever.
ONE more act in the Sarah-Althea-
Hill tragedy. This time it is her
husband, Judge Terry, who comes to
grief, shot to death by United States
Marshall Maggie for slapping the face
of Justice Field OF the United States
supreme court, who had committed
him to Jail tor contempt of court dur
ing the suit Of his wife against the
Sharon estate. The shooting on the
part of Nagle seems utterly unjustifi-
able, as he was not attacked, nor does
the latest account of the transaction
show that Judge Field was in any
danger of serious injury. Whatever
fears may have been entertained by
NJ trshaI Ma :Ie concerning the out
come OF Terry's insult he was entire
ly too prev iOus with his pistol, and
will probably pay thu penalty of his
recklessness. The evident prejudice
existing against Judge Terry and his
wife will no dolbt DO much to pave
the way for light sentence i'm his
case, but it, was murder, no more no
less, and all the more TepreheusIble
for being committed by an officer of
justice II looks very much like a
premeditIted affair so quickly was

10 It's utmost; that agriculture receives less
attention from our law makers than any
other industry that IL bears more than its
equal share Of the burdens of taxation; that
1t Is only through legislation that these
wrongs can be rlghted, and that the two
most effective modern sources Of legislation
are through the use of money, and the
weight OF public opinion. The farmer,
suffering as he does from the effects of Ill

gvails US but little, as we have neither the
money nor the will to use 1t that way. This
being the case, there Is left to US but the
one method of relief, viz: through the
