LOVK AAD COVRTSBIP.
Josh Rpsktx, tbs famous art-critic, who
did more with his pen to make Tubnxb,
the painter, celebrated than Tubnkb did
for himself with his brash, has abandoned
his favorite hobby, for the nonce, and
turned hie talent to essays on love
making and coartship. He has written a
notable pamphlet on the subject and pro
poses to sell it a ten pence a copy. An
analysis of the treatise, now going the
rounds, permits us to give some of its sa
lient features.
Now John is essentially an ideal
ist, but has at the core of bis intellectual
humanity a powerful and practical
hod. He is also a be’iever in the
eq ’ity of the sexes and one of the most
eloqu rt of mortals in denunciation of the
Chinese spirit that proposes to restrict fe
male a piration or usefulness. Any words
from so gifted a person upon any subject
of sn'n vi’al importance as love and court
ship must have special significance. Sen
ator Hawi.rr, of Connecticut, who admires
Mr Ruskin and shares some of his views
recalls the fact that the suggestive and ori
ginal Eoglinman pointed out first of all
that SnAKEAPE2nr has no heroes, but only
heroines, and that while the catastrophe
of every Shakespearian play is caused by
the folly or fault of a man, the redemp
tion, if there be any, is by the wisdom or
virtue of a woman. Shakkspeabk, he says,
has given us but one weak woman,
Ophilta. and his three wicked women,
Lady Macbeth, Regan and Gonebtl, are
frightful exceptions to the ordinary laws
of life. Mr. Ruskin has made woman
kind his dettor by showing, still further,
how almost all the great poets have thus
exalted woman, and by insisting upon
her right and fitness to rule in the home
and make it the place of peace.
It follows from this that Mr. Ruskin
thoroughly believes, as he publishes to
the world, that ’‘in a state of society in
which men and woman are as good as they
can be under mortal limitations, the wo
men will be the guiding and purifying
power."
Up to this point, no doubt, young wom
en will be charmed with such a champion
and curious to know what he reads in some
of their hearts. Some of them may not be
so enthusiastic or friendly when they grasp,
for example, the following paragraph:
In a miserable confusion of candle- light,
moon-light and lime-light—and anything but
day-light—in indecently attractive and insane
ly •xpensive dresses, in snatched moments,
in hidden corners, in accidental impulses and
dismal ignorances, young people smirk and
ogle and whisper and whimper and sneak and
stumble and flutter and fumble and blunder
into what they call Love; expect to get what
ever they like the moment they fancy it, and
are continually in danger of losing”all”tho
honor of life for a folly, and all the joy oTit
by an accident.
How many ardent and impulsive young
persons will see themselves in that descrip
tion as in a looking glass? And how many
will accept the following counsel:
When a youth is fully in love with a]girl,and
feels * hat he is wise in loving her, be should
at one ? tell her so plainly, and take his chance
brave*y with other suitors. No lover 'should
have the insolence to think of being accepted
at once, nor should any girl have the cruelty
to ref- ee at one**, without severe reasons. If
she si nply does not like him, she may send
him a »ay for seven years or so—no vowing to
live on cresses and wear sackcloth meanwhile,
or the like penance; if she likes him a little,
or thinks she might come to like him in timej
she wioy let him stay near her, putting him
always on sharp trial to see what stuff he is
made cf, and requiring, figuratively, as many
lion skins or giant’s heads as she thinks her
self worth. The whole meaning and power”of
true courtship is probation, and it ought not
to be shorter than three years at least; seven
is to my mind the orthodox time. And these
relations between the young people should be
openly and simply known, net to their friends
only, but to everybody who has the least in
terest in them; and a girl worth anything
ought always to have half a dozen or so suit
ors under love to her, '
There is a world of wisdom in this,l but
unfortm ately what many men and women
mistake for love is nothing but the insani
ty of the passions or the folly of the heart,
wheie reason has been banished or tem
porarily paralyzed. To these unfortunates
the advice of Rc.-kin or Socbates would
seem the supreme of emptiness, as indaed
it is when wasted upon impetuous youth
that is willing to take any risk of headlong
desire, although long and leisurely re
pel tanoe should follow. The Pall Mats
Gazette objects to this that the four
or five suitors who should be un
lucky at the end of the probationary
per od would be left in a sad plight. We
beg to differ. Long before the statute of
ama'.ory limitations had expired, they
would have imitated the butterflies and
sought honey from other flowers. The
mao who slood the test would be worth
having. Very few in this world stand any
teat, least of all the test of love. In the
meanwhile, the young woman would have
growth, development and a wider horizon.
The fancy of seventeen is rarely that of
twenty-five years. Besides it may be dis
covered, on the one hand, that angels do
not dwell behind any moustache, and. it
will be discovered, on the other hand, that
the disillusionizing processes of probation
are saving ones to the man who is blindly
led by an overpowering infatuation.
So much can be said on both sides that
wo forbear trespassing any further upon
Mr. Ruskin's domain, and will close that
branch of the subject by recalling what
happened to the philosopher who now
preaches to the girls and boys about mat
ters that they usually arrange among them
selves, by some autom-.tic, instinctive or
natural plan of their own, whether wisely
or unwisely, whether to find happiness or
misery. John Ruskin courted and married
a beautiful English girl. He was enor
mously rich, a marvellous genius and a
wholesome man. A young painter named
Al ill ah, whom Ruskin had patronized,
was employed to make a portrait of Mrs.
Ruskin. Frequent visits to the house led
to great intimacy and finally to love. The
wife of Ruskin cons esse i to her husband
that she did not love him but loved the
painter Millais. The husband who, we
judge from Mallock’s sketch, is an agnos
tic, did not fly into frenzy and meditate
murder or suicide. Whatever his suffer
ings may have been, b' suppressed them
externally and bide le woman go in
Xay more, he (nietly arranged a
‘.ion from himseh according to the
ale, and handed her over to his

to see what this “fair perdition” looked
like when she fascinated Millais and de
serted Ruskin, behold her counteifeit pre
sentment in the pictures of the parting
scenes of Huguenot and Black Brunswicker
—pictures that adorn so many homes -nd
are popular in the show windows. Ruskin,
oddly enough, in the character of a modern
philosopher, continues to praise the pic
tures of the man who robbed him of his wife;
and, with ghastly reciprocity, the painter
and his spouse take front seats when the
philosopher lectures in public on the
Stones of Venice, the Merits of Tubnzb”
or " the Renaissance in Art. ” We re
call these remarkable passages in Mr.
Ruskin’s life simply to show what a dif
ference there is preaching and practice,
and to trust that in the noted English
man’s pamphlet upon “Love and Court
ship,” he has inscribed and dedicated to
each reader the memorable words of Bob
ebt Bubns, under similar circumstances :
“And may you better reck the rede
Than ever did the adviser!”
THE SPEAKERSHIP AGAIN.
Our esteemed contemporary of the Green
ville News continues to make war on cer
tain Congressmen of South Carolina who
pfopo’e to vote for Mr. Randall as the
Speaker of the next House of Representa
tives. The editor of the News, among
other extreme things, says:
Sam Randall is not a Democrat in anything
but the name. He is a crafty politician, whose
principles are Republican as far as they exist,
and whose practices in the past have been
shuffling and unstateemanlike. He is a dodg
er and a trickster, whoee methods the honest,
true blue Democrats of this State despise and
abominate. The South Carolina Congressman
who votes for him will vote squarely against
the sentiment of Ms constituency, and we ear
nestly hope and sincerely believe will, in that
act, kill himself politically.
Well, if Mr. Randall is not a Democrat,
according to this radical South Carolina
opinion, the party is nearer to dissolution
than even its worst enemies supposed. We
must, with all due respect, say to our
Greenville friend that a vast majority of
the Democracy of this Union are of a dif
ferent sentiment. They consider Mr.
Randall an excellent Democrat, and what
is more they will, in our humble judg
ment, elect him to the Speakership by a
handsome majority of Congressional bal
lots. We can recall the time when a vast
number of South Carolinians voted for
Gbeeley for President. Mr. Geeeley was
not only a Republican, but a rabid protec
tionist. He was the chief instrumentality
whereby the South was finally conquered
and reconstructed. He was the man of
ideas who put the sword into the hands of
the men of action. It is true that he
stood aghast at his own work, and strove
in a wild way to repair it, but the dragon
seed he sowed bore bitter fruit in
spite of him. Perhaps our brother of the
News supported Mr. Gbeeley. But, with
out laying any special stress upon this,
we do most emphatically declare that if
Mr Randall is to be read out of the party
by South Carolina politicians, or if such
an excommunication could have any ac
tual result, it would be bad for the Dem
ocracy, whose faithful champion he has
been. Mr. Rand ill cannot be read
out of the party, fortunately, even
by our Greenville frisnd, and we
are inclined to think that Mr. Dibble
or any other South Carolina Congressmen
who choose to vote for him for Speaker
will, in the end, be endorsed by their con
stituency. The Pennsylvania Congress
man favors a just tariff reform. He is a
believer in the abolition of the internal or
infernal revenue, one of the greatest curses
at the South and an infamous war tax. He
believes in the incidental protection of
American industry, and in this belief he
will be sustained by a majority of his
countrymen. No man ever so consummately
reformed the House, in many particulars,
and in the common interest of honesty and
decency. He struck down the corrupt lob
by. He has not made merchandise of his
position and is a poor man still. The De
mocracy of South Carolina must have re
finement and delicacy beyond all example
if they assert for themselves superior
statt manship and morals in comparison
with Mr. Randall He will, in all human
probability, be the caucus nominee of the
party for Speaker, and, as such, South
Carolina Representatives will vote for
him, unless, indeed, they contemplate an
other secession—not from the Union to
which they are now devotedly attached,
but from the party which has, thanks to
such men as Mr. Randall, helped them in
their sorest need and greatest extremity.
We understand well enough how hard it is
for a Representative to act in opposition
to what some influential editors declare to
.be the wishes of their constituents. It
often happens, however, that editors mis
take the popular wish, and it is not un
common for the people to change their
opinions when a bold, brave man, master
of his own soul and true to his convic
tions, respectfully bat firmly differs from
the more clamorous of them.
We tiust that our Carolina friends will
not proscribe either Mr. Randall or his
friends in Congress. Mr. Randall and his
allies do not propose to prescribe anybody
differing from them on economic questions.
If a majority of the party shall determine
to elect Mr. Cablisle, Mr. Blackbubn, Mr.
Spbingeb or Mr. Cox, be it so. The ma
jority should rule. We prefer Mr. Ran
dall, but are willing to submit to an over
ruling by the majority. It would be a
very mischievous thing if the Democratic
party, on the verge of a Presidential elec
tion, should split upon the Speakership.
We do not apprehend any such contin
gency. South Carolinians who dislike
Mr. Randall will, like all other party
men, submit to the inevitable and
await another opportunity of dictat
ing political supremacy. Mr. Randall,
if elected, will make a splendid Speaker
and what is more he will be Democratic
enough even for our Greenville contem
porary, unless indeed the South Carolina
Democracy he represents is of such a
character that it would be hard for any
man opposed to free-trade to be consider
ed orthodox except in name. Our Green
ville contemporary is an intrepid and able
man, who fearlessly and frankly expresses
the thought that is in him. We honor
him for his robust virtues. He will not
fail to respect the same qualties in others,
notably in South Carolina Congressmen
who cannot share his ultra views and who
have at least an equal fortitude and inde
p on dence.

■ODKL FARMS ABD FARMING IM
NORTH GEORGIA.
Enterprise and Titrift of Mr. Mamu
Field—The Planting of Grain as Op
posed to 'Cotton—Tite Farm Pro
ducts of the Section—Public
Spirited Citizens.
[Correspondent to the Chronicle.]
Jaspeb, Ga., June 27.—1 shall devote
this letter to finishing up my favorable
impressions of Cherokee county. That
county has been a revelation to me, as the
whole section has been. I went over to
the left of the railroad to spend the day
with Col. J. A. Sharp, at Waleeca. Mr. B.
F. Perry kindly took me over. He is a
young Carolinian, a kinsman of ex-Gov
ernor Perry, of South Carolina. He is a
Georgian by adoption. He edited the
Cherokee Advance for & year and a half and
has, the ref ore, been one of the useful corps
of Georgia editors. Co). Sharp has been a
Representative in the State Legislature,
and is one of the enterprising and suc
cessful citizens of this county. He has
a beautiful place and runs a thriving coun
try store. He is very much interested in
getting a road built from Gainesville to the
State Road, that will pass through Walesca.
There are several competitors for the ter
minal point of this road, among them Dal
ton, Kingston and Cartersville. The road
will be from 60 to 70 miles long, according
to the locality of the terminus, and will
save parties going West a circuitous travel
through Atlanta. jtaa
The section in which Col. Sharp livefl
a very hilly region, with blooming .Wl
valleys alternating with ridges and »
after the general fashion of this
only perhaps a little more so. And
valleys have surprising farms,
well tilled. The region abounds inwie
bold springs; many of them of valuable
mineral properties. Col. Sharp owns a
picturesque lot, with snperb scenery, a
precipitous little mountain winding down
to a collection of springs with marked
chalybeate and iron properties. He means
some time to improve this lovely spot and
make a watering place of it.
Among the exquisite valleys in this sec
tion is Sallocoa, that has been settled by a
colony of Virginians The “Lost Town”
Valley is another whose name recalls a cu
rious Indian annal. This Lost Town wai
an Indian village, peopled by a set of
aborigines, known far and wide for their
thieving proclivities. By a piece of rude
but significant satire, the other Indians
dnbbed the place Lost Town, to indicate
that those who had the misfortune to have
any association with the pilfering citizens
of this locality lost their things. Lost
Town Valley has some fine farms.
One thing that has peculiarly struck
me in Cherokee county has been the num
ber of first-class farms. The idea prevails
in other parts of the State that this whole
mountain section is a rude country with
primitive styles of farming and a rough
population, living on hill sides, practicing
a scratching sort of agricultnre and raising
corn only in an un progressive way to dis
till into moonshine whiskey. There is no
county in Georgia that has more and bet
ter farms, with finer lands, under more
finished and progressive cultivation than
Cherokee. They are marvels of beauty
and skilfnll farming. They indicate the
very highest agricultural skill. They
show evidences of care, taste and
knowledge. They would make reputation
for their owners anywhere. They are
models of good tillage. They have neat,
comfortable houses, are well fenced, the
stock are good, and evince thrifty, admira
ble management. I have been surprised
and delighted. And the number of these
fine farms amazes one. They are in all
parts of the county. You hear of them in
every district. There is a certain degree of
finish and neatness that marks the good
workman. These farms tell their own
tale. Riding along the winding roads one
need auk no qut«tion o w ieirn that an in*
telligent body of planters, the very back
bone of the section, live here and keep its
agriculture abreast with the best farm
progress in the South.
Some of the cotton fields on these bot
toms and fine uplands will compare favor
ably with the best in Middle or Southwest
Georgia. There is, in my judgment, too
much cotton culture here, but it is fully
up to the best in the regular cotton region.
The use of fertilizers hastens the season
and makes cotton raising here as sure as
in Southern Georgia. The tillage conld
not be cleaner or more skillful, and is a
model of thoroughness and symmetry.
Col. Sharp married a daughter of Mr.
Reinhardt, one of the early settlers of this
county, and the father of Mr. A M. Rein
hardt,* of Atlanta, one of the leading law
yers of that place. Mr. and Mrs. Rein
hardt gave me many interesting reminis
cences of the Indians. He built one of the
first mills here. He is a fine, pleasant old
gentleman.
I have spent a day with Mr. Jos. M.
McAffee, admitted to be the most enter
prising citizen of the country in some re
spects. He has done more for Canton than
any other citizen. He is only 38 years of
age, and came here in 1866 with $l5O in
his pocket. He is worth to-day fully $75,-
000. He has merchandised, built an ;t|farm
ed;he owns the large brick hotel in Can
ton which he put up. He has constructed
and owns an interest in a flouring mill at
the depot. The main brick stores in Can
ton he erected and owns. He has other
buildings in the town. He has a farm of
800 acres right at the town with 300
acreA under magnificent cultivation. His
place is one of the notable valley farms
of the section and stretches np and down
the Etowah river with broads fields of
dense corn, great clean acres of splendid
cotton and yellow tables of shocked grain
extending as far as the eye can reach. He
has a field of upland in cotton that David
Dickson could not beat. Mr. McAfee is a
remarkable man, teeming with energy and
prolific in practical enterprises. He has
been one of the main movers in the Ma
rietta and North Georgia Railroad and has
put considerable money into it. He also,,
like Co 5 .. Sharp, has married the daughter
of one of the early settlers of this county,
Judge Donaldson, whose valuable and in
teresting recollections of the Indian days
have entertained me much, and some of"
whose memories I shall give.
Perhaps the finest farm, as it is fIA
largest in the county, is the Field platM
six miles from Canton, on the Etowah, tH
which I have before referred. CM. Field!
is a tall, polite old gentleman, who, while!
taking constant interest in his superb
farm, leaves the active management to his I
young son, Mr. Marcus Field, a powerful,
frank, vigorous, thorough going young
man, with a fine face and cherry manner
and a contagious energy and will. He is
a youthful Hercules, that probably in a
tussle could manage any two men on. his
place. He graduated at the Harvard law
school and spent some time in Euroj j and
for a couple of years has taken cba gees
this magnificent farm.
Mr. Holland, one of the accommodating
proprietor? of the Canton Hotel and mer
cantile partner of Mr. McAfee, tool me
down in his buggy behind a fine gray
mare to Field's fem, We met Col. ?ield
near the ferry, who sent us on the
grain fields, where his son was diluting
the operations of his gitiin reaper and
binder. He was cutting a field of bring
oats th.’.t will harvest 40 bushels b the
acre. He put Mr. Holland on his .horse
and got in the buggy with me to explain
the operations of the reaper. Onr j swer
ful gray mare, unused to the rattling whir
of the great machine, began to punge
violently and twist the frail buggy. With
a cool, firm hand he guided the frighened
mare, so as to save the vehicle from being
turned over, soothed the animal gently,
steadily held her where she could halize
that there was no danger, and inh few
minutes had her following the noi r im
plement as docile and quiet as if ae had
seen it always. He remarked, poinfng to
a powerful horse that he rode, that (Slonel
Nickerson sold him that animal as de im
possible to work in any way, that ■stile he
usually found gentle means sufficient to
control dangerous horses, this one had de
fied all patient methods, but he had in one
day whipped him with a soft rope into en
tire submission.
Mr. Marcus Field, in his two years of
farm management, has entirely revolu
tionized matters. He has almost abolished
cotton and commercial fe tilizers, planting
only 30 acres in cotton out of 600. He
has also cut down his acreage of corn to
4,000 bushels, which is twice what he
needs for his farm use. Corn is heavier to
wagon to the road and more costly to pro
duce, and really does not afford as much
of a margin of profit as oats and wheat.
This fine young farmer has reduced all oper
ations to mathematical calculations of cost
and profit, and has an intelligent adminis
tration of everything. He has experimented
in composting, keeping exact figures of ex
penses of acid phosphate, labor of hands
and mules, time record properly charged
and he found that his hundreds of tons
cost him more than the return. The clear
headed young fellow then set to work to
solving the problem of a remunerative sys
tem of fertilization. This he worked out
to be a proper plan of rotation of
crops and turning under heavy growth
of grass, weeds snd peas. For in
stance, his wheat and oat fields
will be allowed to run until Auguet
when they will be covered with a growth
from waist to shoulder high. The stubble
and this growth he will turn under with
his powerful three horse sulky turning
plows that give him twelve inches depth
of tillage and leave a surface as clean as a
parlor, with every lump pulverized, and
the ground enriched without a dollar's ex
pense save the plowing. He uses peas
and clover as a fertilizer, too. He not only
keeps up the fertility of his rich bottom?,
but actually increases it.
MUE'or every species of farm work he uses
Be. most improved labor saving impli
■ps. For instance, in plowing his lands
I (Fuses a sulky plow that with three
norses fend one man does the work of
eight men and eight mules, saving the cost
of seven men and five mules. In sowing
his grain he drills it in, saving the cost of
hands and mules to cover it, and putting
it.in the ground much better, making a
more even plant, getting a more uniform
stand and covering it in such away that
as the season advances the soil washes to
the drills, giving better yield. In planting
corn he uses the corn planter which checks
the rows, drops the seed and covers it,
saving the equivalent of eleven hands and
. stock.
But it is-in harvesting his grain that his
Wood’<xeaoer and binder coins him mon
ey in its efoijomy. He has one hand and
three to the machine and a man and
boy to picktbe bundles and put them in
shocks, and his enormous saving is 37
hands. With his big crops and the difficulty
of getting labor at this season the conve
nience is immeasurable, while the profit is
a small fortune. He has about 500 acres
of oats and wheat, of which 100 acres
of wheat, at 25 bushels to the acre, will
give him 2,5C0 bushels, worth $2,500;
and 400 acres of oats at 40 bushels to the
acre, will give him 16,000 bushels, worth
from 40 to 60 cents a bushel or from $6,-
000 to $9,000. We thus have the 500
acres paying from $8,500 to $11,500 or
from sl7 to $23 an acre gioss, with an
expense account of not over one
tenth of the amount. This is wise
farming. The same put in cotton and
bringing half a bale to the acre, a
liberal estimate, would produce 250 bales
of cotton, worth at SSO a bale, $12,500,
with an expense account of fully 8-10 of
the whole, or SIO,COO, leaving $2,500
profit on the cotton, against from $7,650
to $10,350 on the grain, the difference be
ing the greater cost of raising cotton.
This young man has hit the
philosophy of'correct farming in his sec
tibn. He is reaping a rich result. He is ex
tinding hia area of clover and grasses.
E e struck me as I looked at him in his
p anting kingdom, as the very incarnation
o the young, progressive, agricultural ge
nns of onr new era His sturdy, powerful
fifbtre, erect and symmetrical, full of grace
ifci Vbfe homespun habil-
ot tfie ffeld" <jjjk j.he honest soil
couldi not hurt, with ?s Ck strong, frank,
ruddy face and cleT\ cu t head
poised upon the frame;

man, made a picture that I shall not soon
forget, and I could but think that it this
vast field of honorable farm labor, *he
best brain and gentility of the countiy
could and should find congenial and
beneficial employment. The professions
are overstocked. Such farmers as this
fine young fellow are scarce. We need
more of them. And it was a surprise to
find such a leader in the wilds of North
Georgia. I have to close for the mail.
