WHAT with an ex-United States dis
trict attorney defying a federal judge,
sitting on the bench, and Kentucky
moonshiner shooting to death a wit
ness in federal court room, the erst-
while awe that federal courts were
wont to inspire seems to have been
forgotten. Is Uncle Sam becoming
timid in his maturity that his Offend
ing sons no longer regard him? Is
Kentucky going TO make the military
supplementary to the judiciary and SO
have row OF glistening bayonets
about each federal court room? No
greater afiront was ever offered a

Largo Fortuno Quickly Lost.

Among reverses of fortune perhaps
the strangest is that of the Duchess
Santonna, who has just died in Madrid
in the greatest poverty. Eight years
ago she possessed fortune of $4,000
600. A number of lawsuits were Ger
mcnced against her by her relatives,
absorbing large part of this An
other large amount went in charity,
and the remainder went trying to place
the Bourbon family on the throne. A
story Is told of the duchess which
illustrates her kindness of heart.
Hearing that a lady, member of a
very old Spanish family, was in great
need, and W shed to sell jewelry to the
amount of $500, 900, the Duchess de San.
tonna sent her check for that amount.
When the jewelry reached her she re-
turned 1t, saying she did not want Il,
and was glad TO have been of SON
service.

THE proposed international postage
stamp which Germany is about to offer
ought to fill a long felt want. Its
function is obvious. 1t will carry a
letter to any country that participates
in it, so to speak. 1t will bear the
name OF all thee countries and its
value in the currency of each particu-
lar gov ernment will also appear on it
face. Undoubtedly such a blanket
postage stamp would obviate q great
deal of ammo ance in posting foreign

it will carry sufficient cement on it'

missionary ground being that of fur

object of interest. So far from living
in idleness, no men on earth work so
hard as the missionaries now in the
foreign field. Against fearful odds, and
with three millions of Christians
opposed TO two hundred and
fifty millions of Hindoos, Moham-
medans and other false religions,
these missionaries are trying to
take India for God. Let the good peo-

be too good for them. Some of the

of $4,000 or $4,000 n year, preaching
the 'spel of him who had not where

be welcomed, and while looking for n
place to sit down, they will be told:
"Yonder in that lower line of thrones
you will take your places. Not on the
thrones nearest the king; they are re-
served for the missionaries
Meanwhile let all Christendom be
thrilled with gladness. About $4,000
converts in Ini ia every year under the
converts under the Baptist missions,
and about $4,000 converts under all
missions every year. But more than
that, Christianity is undermining heath
enism, and not a city, or town, or
neighborhood of India, but directly, or
indirectly, feels the influence; and the
day speeds on when Hindooism will go
down with crash. There are whole
villages which have given up their
gods, and where not an idol is left.
The serfdom of womanhood IN many
places is being unloosened, and the
iron grip of caste is being relaxed.
Human sacrifices have ceased, and the
last spark of the funeral pyre on
which the widow must leap has
been extinguished, and the Jug
gernaut, stopped, now stands as
a curiosity for travellers to look
at. All India will be taken for Christ.
If any one has any disheartenments let
him keep them as his own private prop
erty; he is welcome to all of them. But
If any man has any encouragement to
utter, let him utter them. What we
want in the church and the world is
less croaking owls of the night and
more morning larlls with spread wing
ready to meet the advancing day.

1t would seem that the oft-repeated
admonitions of THE TIMES and the
other friends of the farmers had borne
fruit IN the important matter of hog
raising. Never before since the war
has as much attention been paid to
this branch of farming In Washington
County. Heretofore the rule has
been no hogs at all, and salt meat
bought at enormous expense from
Chicago or ST. Louis; or else a few
wild razor-backs running at large In
the woods. and shot down by whoever
took the trouble to hunt them. One
claim was that hogs could not be
raised because the negroes stole them.
Of course, when darky went forth
by moonlight after the festive possum,
and big fat wild hog jumped up in
the depth of the woods he was going
to have that hog. There was nobody
to say him nay. The hog simply dis
appeared, and was never inquired af.
ter, for the simple reason that bis
owner never knew of bis existence.
Eaten hogs tell no tales, and If is easy
to burn the hair In the fire that cook
ed the meat. Now things are differ

On the S0th inst. we will have an
expert on Farming Machinery at Hol-
lywood plantation, Mound Bayou, for
the purpose of exhibiting new aud
improved machinery, such as Corn
checker, Corn and Cotton Cultivators
and Combination Seed Planter These
machines are operated with great
success in Texas, and have been adop-
ted by the farmers there as ccono-
mixers of labor.
We would be pleased to have you
with us on the 30lh, aud feel confident
that the work will prove both inter-
esing aud instructive to those who
are devising methods TO meet the low
prices of agricultural products. Kind

Certainly, Dec volente, IL will be
quite convenient for us to be on hand
on that occasion, as we are very anx-
ious TO welcome any move that will
encourage and cheaper the produc-
tion of our main reliances for mainte-
nance. If these lands eau be cultivat-
ed cheaper than they have boon; that
is If machinery eau be used so that
one hand eau cultivate about 45 acres
as is done iu Texas, Kansas and other
prairie States, Instead of one family to
every len acres, as we are now doing,
our expenses would then conform
more to prices of the product. Tho
old ruts must be abandoned, or plant
ing surely will come to naught. And
the time Is at hand when decisive
changes must be made.-Sunfower

Doubtless much may be saved IN
expenses of Delta crop growing
through the use Of modern farm i'm
plements. But In the future as in the

vation will place limitations on the
economies Of cotton growing. lu this
particular Texas black lands possess
advantages over the Delta aud Mlssis-
sippi generally as cotton country,
which cannot be met. The feasibility
of cultivsting as acres per hand" In
the Lone Star State, is due to the ab-
senoe oScrap or any other grass, which
is the enemy of cotton. We have been
told that the only use of the hoe in a
cotton field there, Is to chop out and
hill the plaut to stand. All else Is
done with the plow. Every grower

of the difereutial in this case. 1t
