Libertyss Children.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Attention all for one minute, please. The Fourth of July will soon be here, and it should be emphatically Liberty's Day. We are in great danger of losing the liberty that our fathers believed in, of losing even the distant sight of it. Our land is filled with organizations now which are directly antsgonistic to it. Most of them have been formed for some laudable purpose, but they are direct thrust at personal liberty notwithstanding. And it has become the style to heap op- probrious epithets on all who hold fast to their independence; and those principles of rank despotism are often carried so far as to deny such persons the right to earn their daily bread It is theresore desirable that we, who believe that the principles of personal liberty are para mount to all others, should be able to recog- nize each other on as least one day in the year. And when should that be if not on Independence Day9 I therefore call upon and request all such to wear in some form the national emblems, red, white and blue, when taking their outing on tha. day It can be done in any form, from three tiny ribbons up to full cos tune. It would add very much to the grace of the occasion if those who con veniently can provide themselves such costumes would do so fancy free; and it would be exceedingly sympolic of the liberties we claim.
 Will papers far and near please copyi Has Liberty any children lefts

A Confederate's Trick 10 Get Horse.
 [Erom the Washington Post

From the Washington Post
 The Confederate csvalryman was often puzzled as to how to provide himself with a horse The authorities gave him the choice to keep mounted or go into the ranks with his musket. as horses were not furnished by the government To be dis mounted and become 6 foot soldier was worse to him than a courtmRrtial, and he would risk much in his efforts to get & horse from the enemy.
 In the fall of 1863 rebel cavslryman had his horse killed in a skirmish near Warrenton, and as his best chance was then to capture one from the enemy, he put his wits to work to devise the ways and means. He was with the outside pickets, and not far of. on the pike, were the cavalry pickets of the enemy. He procured a piece of telegraph wire from the railroad, and when twilight came on stretched this across the road, fastening one end to the fence and the other end to a convenient tree just high enough to catch a cavalrymsn about the belt. When matters were thus arranged to his liking he started down the pike, and stopped in plain view of the enemy.
 It was not long before three of them gave chase mounted on good horses. |, was now too dark for them to see the wires, and on they came. determined tc have prisoner The chase was sharp and quickly over, so that by the time the rebel schooner had passed through, and under his trap, the enemy was upon him.
 The sequel is not hard to guess Twc of the pursuers were quickly unhorsed the third being so much astonished and frightened at their fate ss to turn and bes 6 nasty retreat. The two horses, without their riders, continued down the road, and were easily captured by the Confederate who. by his clever ruse, became their own CT, and kept his place in the cavalry.
 The two pickets left to themselves. hur riedly made their way back to their com rades as crestfallen and sstonished ss twt men could well be. The hero of this incl dent tells the tale himself, and adds ths he rode one of these horses to ApPomat tox, and from there to his home, and ths 1t was one of the best he ever owned.

MORE RICE, LESS COTTON.

MVhh nACbS AhSS SOA 4VNs
 This is country of big crops. There have been such big cotton crops during the last two or three years that they have been inconvenient, and last years crops of cereals were astounding in magnitude and all that could be desired in quality. This year, it is said, we shall have rice crop twice as great as has ever yet been grown. The southern planters, who have grown so much cotton that they can't sell it at re- munerative prices, are turning their atten- ton to rice. It is asserted that rice is safer than either cotton, sugar or tobacco, and taking the range of the past five years will realize in dollars and cents double that of any other grain. Detailed reports note that the crop in the Carolinas and Georgia is doing finely, having fully recovered from the delay incident to cold weather and drought of April and May. In Louisiana there has been a phenomenal extension of crop, and it's yield will be double that of all other States combined. Florida, Alabama and Mississippi report satisfac- tory progress. The former leads, and by artesian wells has insured full supply of moisture and will make a crop whatever the season. Labor is reported as ample at nearly all points. Seeding is practically over along the Atlantic coast, but will con- tinue in the extreme South until the mid de of July. Estimates of the yield of rice are as follows: North Carolina, 800, 1000 bushels; South Carolina, 1 ,500, ,000 bush els; Georgia, s75, ,OOO bushels; Louisiana. 6,500, 900 bushels; Florida, Mississippi, Texas and Alabama, 375, 900 bushels; total, 9,750, 900 bushels.
 If the southern planters find rice-grow- ing profitable they will perhaps overdo it, ss they have the growing of cotton. But moro rice and less cotton may work well for several years

s'Slaves of the Sawdust," by Amye Reade, author of Ruby" A story founded upon facts which ''the writer has person ally verified" Thisr with the former work, Ruby" deals with the secrets of the circus, the brutsllties employed in the training of young children and the iniqui- tous system of child labor by which exact ing task masters live and thrive. 'Is it right that men should be allowed to live on child labor and eat the bread gained by so much sufferingT' asks the author. "Is it just that trembling children and grow ing girls should be slaving in the heat and glare of crowded circuses and music-halls night after night in all our great cities that their masters may reap the harvest of severityi" The story Is told in a style fairly good, many descriptions are har- rowing in the extreme and the readers sympsthies are strongly stirred. The wri- ter believes it to be her mission to rescue circus children from cruelties and immor- al conditions. This might perhaps be bet ter done by a plain statement of facts, with genuine names and dates, than in a story, yet the story may be read for the sake of the fiction and the facts SO strong ly impressed that public sympaahy shall be aroused and the aid of the law invoked to protect and emancipate theee white "slavss of the sawdust."

A RICKETY wIGwAM MANDPARTR
 It is entirely consistent with the rickety condition of the Democratic party that its national convention shall be held in a rickety wigwam. but it is to be hoped that the wigwam will stand until the delegates get out of it. The building is evidently insecure, the walls having been put up with the expectation that a canvas roof would be put on. The wind having torn that in shreds it is proposed to put on a roof of green boards, the weight of which will be all out of keeping with the sup ports that have been provided. Already these supports are bending beneath the partial weight of the new roof. The del egates that have already arrived in Chicago are evincing more concern over the safety of the wigwam than in the outcome of the nomination. In addition to the danger of the roof falling in upon the thousands below, colossal oversight appears to have been made in plan ming the structure without single win dow except the large opening in the roof. If the sun should not be obscure6 <, or the temperature fall to 8 low point, the interior will be very much in the nature of an oven. Architects and builders in Chi cago do not like to talk about the build ing. A correspondent says: The argu- ment is that if Is, 900 people are crowded
 into the big improvised shed and 1t does
 not collapse, then it will be clearly evident
 that the building is perfectly safe that
 Chicago is hustler, and that no town on
 earth can wear the same size boots. That is how the trial will turn out, according to nine men out of ten in Chicago; but the tenth man says the wigwam will not stand the strain to which it will be put, and that
 collapse is certain.
 It does not seem possible that those who attend the convention will really take such risk as common report says they | will. Some hopes will collapse, but it ii probable that pains have been taken te
 make the wigwam so that it will stand th'
 strain.
