Hold right still, stand firm, dont
budge, a jot, nor bat your eyes. That
i; an easy triumph whieu comes of non-
action, and cheap if it costs nothing,
and better thau cheap if it pays. Dont
wait for cooperation, nor call a con |
v tntion, nor draft formal resolutions,
nor play the game of ‘ ‘fellow my lead,
er,” but simply fix the purpose in yonr
individual minds and, the result will be
virtual cooperation. Fix in yonr
minds the rational purpose to buy no
guano at a price above yonr ability to
pay, nor ou terms that seem hard. Be
sure to understand the contract thor
oughly, and approve it - fully, or de
cliue it altogether. That is business. To
presume that it is safe because a neigh
bor so thinks, is not business. Be
owes it to himself to do his own think
ing and his neighbor is in a like cat
egory. A time trade which yonr judg
ment disapproves, or even doubts, will
prove lingering vexation. There
should be two parties to a contract in
every' case. Hitherto there has been
only one. The manufactner has made
the stuff and the prices and the terms.
His right to price his goods is not
questioned, but the planter is not
bound to buy. Let him hold it at his
price and be as comfortable as he ean.
Guano increases production and di
minishes prices. Probably 4,000,000,
of bales would bring more money than
5,000,000, and certainlr less of it
would go to pay debts. Last summer
in prospect of an insufficient snpply
for thirty days at the close of the cot
ton year, prices hounded up so as to
mane speculators dizzy. But the new
crop was early and there came no thir-
.y £ davs of famine to the mills, and pri
ces iveou; d so as to make speculators
dizzy again. This indicates,(what cannot
be reduce. to figures) that prices
might go awav yonder, if only less cot
ton should bo produced for one year-
Clipper.
fit is believed that several further con
ferences will be necessary before a de
finitive treaty between Russia and Tur
key can be signed. Rnssia's wording
-makes it of superior authority to the
treaty of Berlin, thus placing 'Turkey-
under the direct influence of Russia.

Albany Advertizer: Yesterday was
a gala day, owing to the arrival of a
steamboat, the first upon the river iu
many years. Nearly a thousand persons
at-tke river to meet the Mary Elizabeth.
A number of children from town and
country feasted their eyes on the fir st
steamboat they lmd ever seen.
The captain of a ship recently arrived
at Queen town reports that on the Kith
dust-ant, when fifty miles west of Fast-
net, he saw a steamer, with about one
hundred and fifty or two hundred men,
apparently English, aboard, alongside
of a burning wreck. He was ordered
to continue on his course and say noth
ing on the affair of penalty of being al
so burned.
A sadden spread of the plague in the
Orient has alarmed tlie rulers of the
Jenntineut of Europe, and already the
Governments of Germany and Austria
.have sent commissioners east to exam
ine and report upon the apparently
westward moving pestilence, with in
structions to suggest proper checks and
preventives. This is taking time by
the forelock, but not a m- raeLt J oo soon
if the acoouts of the spread of the
Spourge are to be relied on.
It is stated that the Chaplain of the
Maine House of Representatives elec
trified that body the other day by pray
ing that God would give the members
grach ‘‘to stop speaking when they got
through.” The St. Louis Republican
thinks he “ought also to have beg
ged that He would, teach them not to
speak at all unless they had somthing
to say, for if the rverage legislator ne -
hr speke except when he had some lii lg
worth saying, and always stopped when
he had said all he had to say, thore
ijrould be much less complaint about
tong sessions. ”

BUYING VOTES.
Several papers in the state are wast
ing a good deal of gash in condemning
the practice of buying votes at elec
tions. Now we believe it iainfinitely less
wroDg to pay a darkey fifty contain legal
tender silver for his vote than to give him
false premises of office,jtocial- equali
ty, or forty acres and a mule,-, »nd we
are glad to state that the vote market
has come down to a cash basis, and that
the devices of the Radicals are now at
a great discount with the intelligent
colored voter. We believe that our
kiml government gave the ballot to the
colored citizen with the express inten
tion that it should be sold to the best
and highest bidder, and if the darkey
prefers a cash transaction to a big prioe
to be pail wbeu the millennium comes,
it is so much better for him, if it does
pinch those who care nothing for him
except to be kept in power through his
votes.
The Howard Association's Reports.
—The Chicago Times fills seventeen
of its columns with the report of the
Howard Association of New Orleans for
the year just closed, reviewing the la
bors of the organization during the
epidemic, giving the particulars, the
progress of the plague, the number of
people attacked and their nationality,
with tables showing the amount of
mony received and the sources whence
it was derived, The report is very
interesting, and shows' iu admirable
maruer the excellent discipline and
organization of this association. The
total amount of money recievod by the
association was 8383,429. The report
.states that so liberal were the contri
butions that the association was not
only enabled to discharge all its obli
gations, but to make something like an
adequate compensation to the physi
cians who had volnmarily given their
services id behalf of the afflicted city.

If every farmer in the land could
read, and prcjil by, the accounts given
in the American Agriculturist daring
the past year only, of the various spe
cial frauds upon farmers, it would, in
the aggregate, being a saving of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to the far
ming community. There is claass of
swindlers whose operations are
rSTr.CIAI.LY DIRECTED TOWARDS PALM
ERS.
It is no refheiion upon the intelli
gence of farmers that this is so. These
rascals know that all kinds of fish are
not to be caught with one bait; hence
they operate npon clergymen, doctors,
merchants, and farmers, each in a dif
ferent manner. It is sale to predict
that there is a new set of t raps ready
to catch farmers, Of late years the
“agency” dodge has been played suc
cessfully, and it has already been started
thus early in the season. These swin
dlers are all after one pattern. A glib-
tongued chap. No. 1. wishes to estab
lish an “agency” for some erinkum.
It may be a stump-puller, a machine
for grinding the knives of mowing ma
chines, it may be a churn power, or a
spring bed. Whatever it is, chap No.
1, somehow, or in some way, contrives
to gel the signature of the farmer. Here
is where fife tronble begius. We
Lave cautioned and reiterated the cau
tion,
“PAl J£EI::-- LE CAI ITCL WHAT YOU SIGN,”
but this does not seem to bo enough,
no matter how much -care is exercised,
tlio smooth-tougned chap, No. 1, is nsu-
ally too much fur the farmer. So we
say to farmers—don't act as agents for
anjthiEg, but if yon will not heed this,
and the temptation as to profit is too
great to resist, ;u.d you u-ill disregard
warnings, wa beg of yon
FARMERS, DON’T SIGN ANYTHING.
Yon may be asked to agree t« 1-ecome
an agent, you may bo asked to
give -your address, so that the sam
ple machine, to be sent free, will come
all right, may be asked for merely your
post-office address. Take our advice—
which is the same as Punch's advice to
yonng people abont to marry- -don’t!
don’t 1!
Don’t, do not—pray refrain from
sighing yonr name to anything whatev
er! Observe this and yon are safe.
Sign your Dame on any pretense to any
thing whatever, and you open the way
for visit of chap No. 2. He is not
smooth tongued or pursuasive. He
has come to collect his bill. Yon have
ordered so and so. The goods are at
depot, here is the bill, and he wants the
money, as he must take next train.
You can’t say you never ordered the
goods, for there is yonr signature!
You cant deny it, bnt yon signed
it as an aggreement to act as
agent, or signed it as yonr ad
dress—No. v 2. knows nothing about
this—cares nothing about i‘, but wants
liis money. Here we again say don’t
Don’) be bullied into payiugi), bnt let
him do his worst-. Show him the door,
and let him appeal to the courts if he
dares. The game has already begun,
and bundrels of farmers, to avoid trou
ble, will throw away thousands of dol
lars the coming season.
DON’T BE BULLIED
into paying a dollar on any snch ch.im.
At the most, it can only go to a jury of
yonr neighbors to decide, but not one
case in a bundled will ever come to
that. One correspondent writing
from Massachusetts, says that some of
Lis -neighbors think that an agricultu
ral paper can teach them nothing, yet
one of these very conceited fanners
had to pay §30, which lie would have
saved, had he read our humbug articles,
as the very swindle was expi -sed here.

LEGAL FACTS & FOBMS
i
The Alabama Claims.—Oa Saturday
jast’ by votes of 112 to 73 and 113 to 93,
the House substituted the minority re.
port of the Judiciary Committee for the
further distribution of the‘Geneva award
in- place of the majority bill and passed
it. The Court of Claims was anxious to
have the adjudication of the remainder
jtj{ the awards transformed thither, and
the sentiment of the House at one time
was behaved to be in favor of it, but the
bHl as -passed re-established the old
Court of Alabama Claims, restores the
Class of chums which it did nos dispose
pf, allows additional • interest ou judg
ments rendered,and permits claims for
tbp payment of premiums for war risks,
provided that only that only the actual
loss is acertamed. The minority of thr
House committee took the ground
fiironghoni that the fund, that it was
awarded to the United States as a na
tiou, that no person oreorpo a'ion has o
legal rigid to it. but that it • a fund
for Actual sufferers by the c induct o
Q eat Britain. -.
C
Water Proof Boots.—It’s not always
desirable that beots should be abso
lutely water-proof, as whatever keeps
vra‘er out will keep it in, and whoever
has worn India-rubber boots for any
length of time, knows that retaining
the perspiration of the feet soon pats
them in a very unpleasant, half par
boiled condition that is not desirab’e.
Still, water-proof boots are useful in an
emergency, to be worn for a short time,
as in doiDg the chores in bad weather,
A pair of good rubber boots will answer
the purpose, or a pair of common cow
hide boots may be made water-proof af
ter the method of New England fisher
men. These people, exposed to all the
weather, have for a century used the
following compound. Tallow, 4 oz.;
rosin and beeswax. 1 oz. each; melt to-
togetlier, then stir in Neatsfoot oil,
equal in bulk to the melted articles.
The boots are warm id before a fire and
this composition is rubbed into the
leather, soles and nppers by means of a
rag. Two applications will make the
leather quite water-poof.—American
Agriculturist. ;
The following illustration of the con
tortions of a story is said to be found
ed ou fact: The servant of No. 1 told
the servant.of No. 2 that his master
expected to have, his old friends, the
Bay leys, to pay him a visit shortly,
and No. 2 ‘told No. 3 that No. 1 expec
ted to haye the Baylays in the house
every day. No. 3 then told No. 4 that
it was ail; up with No. 1, for they
conld'nt keep the bailiff out of the
house; whereupon No, 4 told number 5
that, the officers were after No. 1, and
that it was as much as he could do to
prevent himself being taken and execu
ted. and that it was nearly killing his
poor wife. Thus the story grew till it
reached No. 32, who assured No. 33
that the police had arrested No. 1 for
wife murder, and that he will probably
be ex'-enred.
