The well-worn theme Of capital pun.
ishment has been invested with new
interest by the introduction Of a propo5
sition in the New York constitutional
convention to make imprisonment for
life the penalty for murder in the first
degree. This proposition unquestlona-
bly, represents a pronounced aud grow
ing sentiment not only in New York;
but in the whole country, and relative
ly throughout the civilized world. lt
is becoming exceedingly difficult 10 Sc
cure convictions in murder cases when
the taking Of life IS TO ensue; and IN
not few instances guilty men have
escaped because Of the unwillIngness OF
juries to impose such a penalty. The
idea Of putting man to death in vim
dication Of the law under any cIrcum-
stances is not an agreeable one 10 peo-
pic Of intelligence and humane feeling.
There is an increasing belief that DIR.
johnson was right when he said that
the worst use 10 Khich q man can bc
put is TO hang him. Civilization has
reached point where the gallows is no
longer recognized as an Indispensable
agency Of reform and the adoption OF
other means Of execution from time to
time has only served TO deepen the
sense Of opposition 10 that theory OF
what should be done with murderers.
1t is we'll known,of course, that many
sentences Of imprisonment for life have
been followed in q few years by par
dons, and this IS really one OF the
strongest arguments against the aboli-
ton Of the death penalty. But that
source Of doubt and complaintcan be re-
moved by placing proper constitutional
restraints upon The pardonlng power

An Iowa farmer living near Dram
don, Miss, has written letter to the
Lake View (Iowa) Resort. from which
we quote:
sOne thing | have noticed land II
has been remarked in my hearing by
othcrsl that the corn here makes bet
Ter meal for cooking than northern
corn, We have had a good chance 10
test the matter as we grind both kinds
OF corn here at our mill. There Is con-
siderable corn shipped IN here from
the north and some of II finds iis way
TO the mill. The great drawback In
this country Is the ono crop system.
IL IL a noticeable fact that the men who
follow The diversified system of farm
ing are tho most prosperous. The
peach crop Is q complete failuro on nc
count of freeze we had In March.
Blackberries are an immense crop and
can be bought for Is and 20 cents per
pailful at tho door. One Yankee here
has made about ninety gallons OF wine
from them this year. The season has
been rather dry for tho hay crop, but
With timely rains from this on there
will be plenty for home use.
aThe prospect is good for the set
tlement OF the thousands OF acres. Of
fertile land lying idle in the south. In
this section SO far as have seen there
is over one-half Of the land lying out
and about half OF that has never been
cleared, and when cleared viii pro-
duce good crops, and with good care
will last as long as any. | must not
forget to mention the Irish potato
crop. never saw a better prospect
for a good crop. One of our noigh-
bors took one to town weighing six
teen ounces. Well, this country Is a
good field for prospectors."

When visited England was struck
by the smoothness of the domestic ma
chincry, not only among The wealthy,
but among tho upper middle class. IL
was far beyond what we could hope TO
reach, for although our Australian
help can do man7 things fairly we'll she
is not the perfect instrument demand
ed by modern division OF labor. Amor
ican housc-keepers strive after the inn
possible. They know what Is dcsira-
BILE, aud they aim at 1t. They try 10
run a house, which In England would
have fve or six servants, with the aid
of three, and have bread-making and
washing thrown In. They succeed
marvellousIy, thanks to to their clev-
erness and assiduity, but at an Inn
mcnse expenditure of nerve force, aud
often at the sacrifice of health. Amer
ican domestic servants do moro work
than they do in Australia and Eng
land.
When asked, @Why is bread-mak-
ing at homo so general in America,
for surely that Is a business that ought
TO bo done by experience n l was
told that every one preferred home
made bread. / discovered the proba-
BILE cause for myself. The price OF
-four is the same in America rs II Is
In Australia; but the price OF bread Is
very different thing. In Australia /
paid five cents for loaf weighing two
pounds. In American cities the bak-
er sells a single pound OF bread for five
cents. The prudent classes buy flour
and make bread at home, but the poor
est people are those who pay cent per
cent on the price of this primo neces-
sary Of life. Why cooperative baker,
les arc not established In every city in
the union is a question that will be
asked me in England, where co-opera-
tion is a great and benedcont agency.

Abiding TO the fact that Missis-

chiefly because OF the liberal appro-
prialions for educational purposess
the Memphis Commercial-Appeaf
says:
"We would call attention to the
singular position in which Missis-
sippi finds herself. She is expend-
ing too much money. That's bad
of course. Other states have been
guilty of the same indiscretion "a
their sorrow. They have wasted
revenues in extravagant salaries.
They have lost money through pee
ulation. They have become bank
rupt because OF corrupt legislatures.
But Mississippi stands alone in tho
peculiar position OF having under
taken to be too generous with her
revenues in order that the cause OF
public education might prosper.
There is much honor to Mississippi
in this fact. If a deficit shall occur
ii will be provided for, and IL may
be that there shall have % be some
curlailment Of the amount hitherto
set aside for the schools. Yet ev-
cry son Of Mississippi will be proud

tort his state has made toward SO no.
