The illustrious Maury, in his own per-
son. affords a shining proof Of the fact
that the South is not destitute Of scien-
tilc men, Few scientific men of this
or any other age have rendered to hu-
mainly more signal service than Marry
has done. He is not merely a local
celebrity, but one of the worlds great
benefactcrs SO recognized by all civilized
nations.

ESSAY had reached its fifth edition its
effects were so marked in producing a
more careful, Intelligent and successful
method Of farming, that the Governor o.
the State referred to this fact in his all
nual nessag e to the Legislature.
BECAME AN EDITOR
In 1888 Mr.. Ruffin became editor anu
proprietor of 1.-THE Farmers Register.
monthly agricultural journal. The In
fuence Of this journal on the agriculture
of the State was very great, its tone
high, its articles carefully written or
selected. Nearly half of the reading mat
ter came from Mr.. Ruffin's pen.
At a meeting of the State Legislature
in 1S41 a State Board of Agriculture wes
organized and Mr.. Ruffin elected MEM
Der. Soon afterwards he was made secre-
tary and held that position for a year.
little later he was instrumental in
founding the Virginia State Agricultural
Society, and was elected its first presl-
dent. At various periods Of his life he
was connected with local agricultural
societies, into which he infused some OF
his own energy and enthusiasm. lie
warmly advocated the establishment of
an agricultural college supported by the
State, and in the main the details OF his
plan were such as are now in operation
in the agricultural colleges Of the present
day. The conditions of labor and OF
things generally have changed greatly
since Ruffin's day. Cheap slave labor
made it possible then to obtain mari at
small cost, but it does not pay now to
carry it to any distance, and besides. 1t
has been displaced to a considerable eN-
tent by commercial fertilizers. Still the
fact remains that Ruffin gave great
impetus to agriculture and conducted
his experiments in such a truly scientific
(as well as practicaD spirit and with such
close attention to details that his work
still ranks as some of the best ever done
in this country. He is fairly entitled TO
be classed amongst the benefactors OF
the race if we accept the theory laid
dcrn by Swift. in "Gulliver's Travels.
ST hold him to be one of the world
benefactors who makes two blades OF
grass grow where one grew before.

This led to an international conference

In 1856 Joseph became professor Of chem

There was also an American naturalist,
bearing the name of John Eaton LIE
Conte. born in New Jersey in 17S4. I do
not know If he was related to the LIE
Contes Of Georgia, but his similar turn of
mind would warrant that conjecture. He
gave much attention to botany and geolo-

son, John Lawrence LIE Conte, graduated
in the New York College of Physicians
and Surgeons and made many scientific
Journeys. He gave special attention to
the Coleoptera Of North America, and
published many memoirs upon them. In
1873 he was president Of the American As

The mere fact OF an American citizen
taking a trip abroad or residing there
for a short period does not deprive a
native born citizen OF this country Of
his citizenship. nor does he lose the
right to the protection OF this govern
ment by 20 doing. II he abandOnH his
residence here. he loses his right to
vote Just as II he moved to another

Ing to this country. Nearly all the ma
lions on the globe claim the hight Of
authority over native born citizens Of
their own countries even after those
citizens have acquired citizenship else
vhere-that is. II a native Russian
comes here and Is nRtuFali1ed, then re-
turns to Russia for a visit. the Russian
government might compel him to do
