WATERING DRY STICKS.

WATERING Dht NittH's
Many aud divers are the ways In which
men Enthusiastically play the fooP'-bur'
daylight, throw away opportunities, con
sumo time, means and energies unpgoduc'
lively: Iaboriously beat the air, fish for one
eyed perch and "hunt the snark," and ca
gerly pursue their confusion. o, what an
..Unco Squad" we are, and how little We
have TO brag Of In our best estate! We make
fortunes often bv what are unquestione(
acts Of folly, and bring ruin on ourselves
by our most deliberate and well-digestet
plans.
The commonest philosopher is familiar
with these reflections. They are the tragic
view of life. But the melo-dramatic, the
half comic aspect is to see the unlucky
crank watering dry stick. And yet he Is
only type; one of thousands. Here is
man with great big factory plant-so to
speak-a multitude Of hands-who neither
day nor night indeth sleep with his eyes
But ne has put plus for minus; some
where in his calculations left on the killer
OF enterprises, contingent expenses" And
the harder he works the more he loses. He
is watering the worst kind of dry stick.
Then there is poor Colonel Sellers, the
prince Of isionaries, the multitudinous man
ofour times, the great promoter, the man OF
big ideas and small profits, the town
maker. But unluckily he has a weakness
for dry sticks, and spends his days and
nights watering them. He can prove
60 demonstration that they ought
60 grow. but they will not grow.
And he goes on watering dry sticks, and
by the sweat Of his brow, lives on cucum-
bers and dry bread, and great expectations.
The life of thing is the vital, moving
principle in it that grows, expands and
bears fruit. And whatever lacks that is a
stock or a stone or dry stick. Moreover,
the great aim and purpose and ideal of a
mans life is that which redeems MIN from
the charge Of watering dry stick. If his
great motive power is selfishness, either
ayarice or ambition or plain greed,
his EXTREMIST industry only cherishes
his ruling passion. Money and fame do
not enlarge the soul, but the diligent pur-
suit Of them intensites seltshness, increases
the dominion and power of the passion that
pursues them, and leaves the man they
drive uncultivated, diminished, shrunk and
valueless, withered in heart and soul and
body. Aud the general result Of such a
life is vanity and yeAation of spirit.
But the whole story OF watering dry
sticks is strangely told by the prophet
"Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart
departeth from the Lord. For he shall be
like the heat in the desert, and shall not
see when good cometh. But shall in
habit the parched places in the wilderness
in a salt land and not inhabited" Per con-
tra blessed is the man that trusteth in
the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is, for
he shall be as tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the
river, and shall not see when heat cometh
but her leaf shall be green, and shall not be
careful in the year of drought, neither shall
cease from yielding fruit"

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
Dun's Agency Report-Few Failures in
Richmond.

Dun's agency report just issued says;
at has been said that nothing can perman-
entity arrest the hand Of progress in the
south. and this is particularly true Of Nir-
ginia and North Carolina. \ new spirit OF
commercial activity exists everywhere, and
sound substantial growth has resulted. The
conditions i'm all branches of trade and COM
merce are most favorable, constantly IN
creasing railroad facilities. opening new
avenues of trade and developing new indus
tries. form arteries through which pro
gressiOn and prosperity must come.
and to this force can be attributed
the rapid growth Of many places
once practically unknown. The wealth Of
mineral products Just being reached. and
with which many localities are richly fav-
Ored. promises 20 bring abundant reward,
the supply being seemingly ineNhausuble.
Outside capital. perhaps first expended
merely for speculative purposes. results IN
permanent investment, and the many land
improvement companies which are being
rapidly formed are the means through
which towns and cities are materially inn
proved. The years volume Of trade Will
undoubtedly be the largest i'm the history OF
Richmond. Failures have been few and
unimportant; manufacturing and Jobbing
interests are steadily growing: con-
sentative business methods prevail.
credits being closely scanned and the per-
centage Of losses comparatively small; col
lections generally have been quite satsfac
tory, and irregular terms are no longer the
rule. our chief industFies-t0bacco. iron

dtion. while diversified industries have

articles previously prOcurable only from

and shipped TO northern dealers. While II
is too early to fOretell as TO agricultural in
terests. the general yield promises to be eX-
cel'ent. so rapid has been the develop
ment that small villages and towns have
quickly become important business centres.
Notable examples of splendid growth are
shown by the progress of Roanoke, Salem.
Petersburg, Danvile, Winston and Char
lOtte. In Richmond, which now has $4,000
population, confidence Of investors IN
city property is attested by the con-
slant requirement OF real estate,
values increasing beycnd all eXpec-
tations. Without the uncertainty OF
blooms permanent growth and the most
satisfactory progress exist, a most crafty
ing condition of affairs being reported from
all points, old and new residents alike being
thoroughly imbued with the spirit Of enter
prise and development.
During the first quarter of 1870 there
were seven failures in Richmond, the total
Indebtedness Of the several parties amount
ing 10 $50, 40 and the assets beng $500

quarter brought nine failures-liabilities

THE COOPERATIVE SPIRIT.

One of the most serious obstacles in the
way Of general improvement in the mate
rial condition of Richmond, and 1t is an OBJ
stacle which has retarded the progress of
many of its sister cities in the South, is an
indisposition on the part Of its citizens to
act together for a common object-in other
words, TO cooperate. This indispOsition is
certainly not due TO mutual jealousies, very
far from II, nor to a lack OF interest in the
general prosperity Of the community. 1t is
deep-seated, inherited characteristic OF
our people which has not yet been eradi-
Gated or even repressed TO any considerable
extent by their rising commercial greatness
and their increasing desire TO accumulate
wealth.
To what Is this characteristic duey 1t is
due, there is reason to believe, TO the pecu-
liar civilization that prevailed in the South,
and notably in Virginia. previous to the close
Of the war, which had the strongest tendency
tocultiyate spirit OF marked independence
in each man, because il was in every way
calculated 10 exalt the individual. In this
respect it was exactly opposed in its nature
10 the civilization which governed the CON-
munities of the North, in which the indi-
yidual man sank into insigniicance as the
community rose in importance. In cOnse-
quence OF this there was an eyer-growing
disposition In the inhabitants of those COM
munities 10 cooperate, the individual
amounting, in his own opinion and the
opinions OF others, TO so little in the mere
point OF power and influence.
In the South, ON the contrary, the Dlanta-
ton system and the institution Of slavery
not only had tendency 10 cause the indi-
vidual TO stand apart TO himself, and to
rely upon himself alone, but they removed
the necessity for cooperation in large
measure by simplifying the general opera
tions Of economic life. The indisposition TO
cooperate has not yet passed away, be-
cause, while the conditions Of our former
civilization have been Destroyed, its spirit
still fingers In the general character OF our
people. The spirit Of individual indie
pendence survives 10 such an ex-
tent In our communities that il seriously
affects their prosperity by discouraging all
disposition 10 act together as a unit. The
disinclination to cooperate, which is so en-
tirely an unconscious Discrimination on the
part Of our people, will, however, ineyita-
bly, yield 10 the spirit OF the new economic
conditions that now either confront or sur
round us. This is the commercial age, the
age OF men In the aggregate, and not Of
the individual The individual is sinking
even In the South in the point Of Importance,
and as his Importance dIminishes, he ac-
quircs stronger disposition 10 act with |
his fellows for the attainment Of ends that |
will confer u benefit upon ali.

TRIBUTE TO HIS MEMORY.
Resolutions Regarding the Death of SEN

The death Of Senator Henry IIeaton was
deeply felt in the State. In the Eighth Con-
gressional district. be was well known,
and his genial nature and ready-handed
help in times OF need were appreciated
greatly by ali who knew him. lie was a
man OF ample means, and not one bit OF ar
rOgance. He was a pleasant speaker, and
apt at wit. His humOr is remembered to-
day as often breaking the tedium Of Senate
rial routine debate. When he took the floor the
senate gave ear. 1t was always expected
that he would say something good, and he
did. lie was as brave as steel, and from
his seat in the Senate denounced rings,
cliques and lobbyists with an unsparing
hand. His courage commanded respect,
: and his honesty was 30 unimpeachable that
il won him success in his political aspira-
tons. He was looked 10 fur advice by the
State Democratic Central Committee, OF
which he was a member, and the report Of
the committee appointed 10 prepare resOlu-
tiOns expressive Of their feelings shows the
high estimate in which the committee held
the dead senator. The report was adopted
unanimously ut the last meeting OF the

SERPENT WORSHIP.
Relics of "a Huge Mound of Rattlesnake
Coils In Illinois.

A huge serpent mound, a dispatch from
Quincy, H., says, has been discovered in the
Carthage road between Quincy and Garth.
age by the Rev. ;. ID. Peet. \ Clearly-de-
fined rattlosnake lies cOiled along the
ground following the line Of the bluh. lis
entire length is 400 feet. The ridge has
been plOughed down until 1t is now only
two or three feet above the surface, but the
outlines are still plainly discernible. The
mounds at the coils of the serpent are ten
or twelve feet high. The specific dimen-
sions are 600 feet from the head to the
coils; the coils occupy space 300
feet in length, and are made up of four dis
tinct mounds 100 feet apart From the coils
10 the rattle of the snake is 40 feet, and
there are three rattles Occupyinga space OF
100 feet. The serpent lies north and south,
a straight line drawn through it showing
detection to the east of 30 feet near the
head, and seventy-tye feet near the tail.
Mr.. Peet explored one Of the mounds, and a
lew feet below the surface found the re-
mains of five persons, but he does not think
that these are the remains OF serpent wor-
shippers, which he thinks are buried deeper.
lie will make further explorations.
