A GRAID OLD MAS.
Th® S;U» Francisco correspondent of the |
Baltimore Bun, in a recent letter, describes
himself thus :
'•This day it ia 8 years since my first letter
to the Baltimore Bun and 80% years sincemy
advent into this world. Every organ ia sound;
notches, no pains. Never had ache of head or
tooth. Fyes, hair and teeth still perfect.
Bead without glasses. Cheeks rosy, but step
tottering and nerves tremulous. Appetite
keen. Digestion perfect. Rosy dreams and
■leer profound. Senses clear, but memory |
fading. Habitual low of tumor and playful
ness; converse bright as ever. Hearing fails.
No beverage stronger than light coffee. No
tobacco. No profanity. No grumbling. Tem
peravent hopeful and sanguine in poverty.
Married 54 years; wife living, with five sons
and a few wagon loads of grand and great- 1
grandchildren. Kindliness to all and enmity
to none.”
When it is considered how many men, ,
in all places, grow prematurely old in
middle life and die the victims of a com- J
plication of diseases, consequent upon
bad habits and tempers, this old man’s
description of himse’f has peculiar force j
and value. No better sermon on
real temperance was ever preached in
ao short a paragraph, and we agree with
our North Carolina contemporary that he
••looms up into the proportions of a colos
sal curiosity compared with which Cali
fornia’s giant trees and mammoth pump
kins, etc., dwindle into insignificance.”
A CELEBRATED CASE.
The following paragraph, illustrating a
peculiar, and in some respects, romantic
phase of real life, is going the rounds of
the press:
Dr. Fknus Babmum, of Baltimore, died in
April, 1882. He was the son of Mr. Zznus
Babxum, the long-time proprietor of Bab
kum’b Hotel in that city. Dr. Barnum, by his
will, left his property, about SBO,OOO, to his
brother, Frank Barnum, upon the condition
that he should, within 12 months after testa
tor’s death, if then a priest, withdraw from the
priesthood of the Catholic Church and decline
forever to connect himself with any order or
society in that church. Another condition of
the will is that the brother was to also marry
within the time specified. In the event of
these conditions not being compli d with the i
estate is to go to the McDonooh Institute of 1
Baltimore. As Mr. Barnum, who has been
studying for the priesthood for several years,
is still resident in Boston College, an institu
tion connected with the Catholic Church in
Boston, the executor and trustee of the estate
has filed a bill in court, in order that Mr. Bab
nttm’s status may be determined legally, and
that all persons interested may have an op
portunity of filing tbeir claims. Mr. Babnum
is about 86 years of age, and it is understood
will not accept the legacy under the condi
tions named.
We have some knowledge of this whole
matter and it may not be inopportune to
state it. It is true that Fbank Babnum is
studying for the priesthood and can, by
fulfilling the conditions grouped in the
quotations made above, secure SBO,OOO.
It is not likely that he will so stultify
himself,for ine foilcw’ng reasons: He in
herited a large fortune from his father,
when quite a young man. His education
an.t training had been of the highest
order. He was handsome, talented,
well-oonneeted and devout. Few
young men ever had so many attract
ive and so many opportunities
for the enjoyment of life. RejAppplemen
t'fid his scholastic discipline with extensive
foreign travel, and wrote a very interest
ing account, which was published, of the
distant lands he had visited. Before
starting on a tour of the world, he had re
solved at the end of his wanderings to be
come a priest. jyn the time he left Amer
ica until his he kept a diary of all his
transactions, which embodied also a daily
examination of conscience. Returning to
Baltimore he entered a religious order as a
novice, and is said to have handed his
diary to a spiritual director with these
words: ’'This book is a record of my
soul as well as of my body. You may read
it and understand how I have kept faith
with myself and Gon.” He did not then
find the religious life all that he dreamed
perhaps. At any rate, yielding to family
persuasions and partly compelled by the
death of a near relative whose estate the
family inherited, and chiefly because he
felt that his brothers and sisters
might need his care, Fbank Babnum 1
left the cloister and, with the full consent
of his superiors, re-entered the world. A
life lesson was in store for him. None ot
the reasons that urged him to return to
the world were found of any consequence,
and it was rapidly developed to him that
he was signally unfitted to cope as a lay
man with the sharpers of the nineteenth
century. He entered into the brokerage
business with a plausible and audacious
adventurer. Baunum furnished the
money and his partner the experience. Very '
rapidly, a transformation scene took 1
place. The partner or the public had the ’ I
money, leaving Babnum the experience. '
With a bare remnant of his fortune he es
tablished himself in an out of the way cor- >
ner of Florida on a small orange planta- ]
tion. There he lived, almost hermit-like,
with a male friend —two ijpre Arcadians
who had fled from the wicked haunts of :
crowded civilization, but who could not
escape themselves. The Florida home was
eharming. But one day fire consumed
this pretty dwelling, and once more
young Frank Babnum, satisfied that
he had another vocation for the priesthood,
returned to his home and re-joined a re
ligious order. Hardiy had he become
again used to the novitiate when his broth-»
er died, as above recorded, and another j
temptation of money and its supposed
allurements was cast before him. Its
acceptance involved such a retreat from his
whole spiritual and moral excellence as to
bo practically an insult and a humiliation.
Its rejection became a matter of course to |
any man who had the least regard for his i
character, not to speak of his religion. It
is fair to presume, therefore, that Fbank
Babnum will permit the McDonogh school
to claim the SBO,OOO that his brother ap-I
pears to have affixed as the possible price j
of hie honor if not of his soul.

THE TELEGRAPH TROTBLE.
The most ingenious argument made by
the operators is that the Western Union
Company is a very rich and highly watered :
concern and therefore cm afford to pay
them better wages for lees work than it
has recently done. This may be a popu
lar argument, but it is not necessarily an
altogether just one. The Telegraph Com
pany estimates the demand made upon it
at an additional $3,414,000 in wages. If
that demand were complied with, the pub-
CHBONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1883.
, lie would have to pay it in increased rates. ;
I 'The operators say that they asked |
more than they expected to get. j
Probably if they had stated squarely j
what they really desired the Com
pany would have met them at least half
way. An increase of tolls, it is believed,
would diminish business, so that nearly
one half the operators would, in any event,
! lose their situations. It is the public,
therefore, that may be most seriously dam
aged, in case of the success or failure of
the strike.
The Chicago Tribune, presenting elabo- 1
rately such a line of argument above con
densed, furnishes also a full table of com- \
parative prices of food articles now and a
year age. The deduction from these fig
[ ures is that the same wages to-day will buy i
10 to 15 per cent more of the articles ne
cessary to support a family than they |
would have bought this time last year.
In the light of such a comparison, says i
' our Chicago contemporary, “the demand '
1 for an increase of 40 per cent, in the wages ;
of any class of salaried men on a falling
I market and wages largely appreciating in
purchasing power, appears especially ex
orbitant; and in order to justify any part
of their claim it will be necessary for the
telegraph operators to demonstrate that
they have always been greatly overworked
and badly underpaid in the past. Their
present movement, in other words, is in
the nature of a ‘corner’ or a revolution—a
natural right of the oppressed, but one
which can only be successfully asserted
! when it is based upon principles of jus
tice.”
If the operators can successfully and
logically demonstrate that, in comparison
with other salaried persons, they have
been ill-treated or underpaid, they may
receive the sympathy of the public who
suffer from their strike now, and may
be made to pay the cost of it hereafter. If
they fail to do so, they will not receive such
sympathy. The Ohboniule trusts that
full justice maybe done both partiesand
an amicable adjustment reached at an
early day. Our sympathies are with all
men who actually suffer wrong, but
the establishment of that wrong must be
founded in reason—and not in passion.
I If the Western Union Company is able to
pay larger salaries to its esteemed operators
we hope no false or stubborn pride will
prevent a compromise, provided the in
creased wages come out of the coffers of
Jay Gould and Co., and not out of the
pockets of the people of the United States.
FURMAN’S LATEST PROJECT.
There seems not to be the slightest
doubt, bat rather cumulative testimony of
the highest character, that Hon. Fabish
Fubman has practically demonstrated that,
by his intensive system of agriculture, the
poorest land in the South can be made as
productive as the alluvium of the Missis
sippi or the Valley ot the Nile. As a speci
men of what his culture has accomplished,
we are told that on some acres of what
was once barren Georgia upland, Mr.
Fubman, in spite of drouth, expects
confidently to make twenty bales of cotton !
Leibig attributed much of the decadence
of the Roman Empire to the building of
the Great Sewers of the capital city, where
by the fertilizing material, that should
have gone back to the land from which k
was .taken, washed in tQtbe Tiber ancUyu.
lost forever. Mr.
that modern chemistrWnaSa
method for re-establishing worn out
or exhausted soils, and that no
place on the earth’s surface has ad
vantages superior or equal to the South
in the production or manufacture of
the material used in recreating the impov
erished fields of the country. Having
demonstrated the excellence of intensive
farming, he has gone farther, and, in con
junction with Mr. H. H. Colquitt and
others, proposes a plan whereby another
mining and manufacturing industry shall
be added to other enterprises of a simi
lar import in the South.
He and his associates propose what may be
called intensive finance grafted on intens
ive farming. His scheme embraces the
farmer as well as the merchant, and the
grand desideratum is to help do, on a no
table scale, what all of us have been preach
ing for many years—make the South econ
omically independent, as far as possible, of
all other sections, and keep as much as
possible of our wealth-creation at home.
This is a move in the right line, and is the
accomplishment of a colossal idea. It is
not formulated by a dreamer, but a
coldly practical man, backed by an
imaginative faculty that sees original com
binations and knows how to employ them
to what are presumed to be the common
places of life.
Commercial manures of various kinds
have undoubtedly stimulated farm pro
duction and extended the area of cot
ton culture where it never before
existed. Bat it has been objected that
many of these fertilizers act injuriously
at last, and that none of them contain
perfect adaptations to agricultural wants.
Mr. Fugman claims—and his experiments
would seem to demonstrate the claim be
yond cavil—that he has hit upon the per
fect formula, of which he not only makes
no secret, but has voluntarily, and with
out any selfishness, given the wides ;
publicity. His engrossing idea now is to
have the South manufacture her own fer
tilizers and, to that end, and as an inci
dent te it, develop her mines of pyrites
from which the acid necessary shall be
drawn. He explains that the common sam
ples of commercial fertilizers contain only
four of the nine different elements essen
tial for the perfect production of the cot’
ton plant. He farther says :
The moment any one of these is exhausted
at once the effect becomes apparent in a sickly
condition of the plant and a marked reduction
iu production. This and not the presence of
the .acid is the cause of the trouble that has
puzzled the brain of so many of our farmers.
In proof of it take, as I have done, the cotton
plant, have it submitted to analysis, ascertain
its component parts and from these compound
a manure that shall be a perfect food for the
plant, apply enough to meet all the require
ments of the crop, and I will guarantee that
rust will disappear at once and never more
make its appearance so long «s the proper
supply of perfect plant food is furnished .upon
this system. As an evidence of the wonder
ful increase in production directly resulting
from the use of a perfect manure I will give
the official figures, taken from the statistical
reports of the French Empire, giving the; dif
ference in yield between the natural land, the
same land manured with lot manure, and
again when fertilized with a perfect plant
food:
From a field in Champagne, cultivated for
tbe;first time with an application of aeventy-
- one thousand pounds manure to the acre,
nineteen bushels of wheat were raised, while
j by the use of a complete fertilizer the return
was raised to forty-eeven bushels; from an
' acre of silicions earth in the department of
the Aisne, with thirty-six thousand of
manure. 11% bushels of wheat were obtained,
with the perfect manure 40% bushels, the
same earth without manure producing 3.66
bushels; and in the department of the Brome
on a pebbly hill broken up for the purpose the
earth without manure yielded 4.38 bushels to
the acre, with thirty-four thousand pounds es
manure it gave 11.44 bushels, and with the
complete fertilizer the return .wm 43.11
bushels.
* Nearer home upon the scrubby pine lands
. of middle Georgia, I myself, by the use of a
perfect cotton manure, have in four years
raised the production ot sixty acres of land
from eight bales of cotton to seventy bales of
I cgtton and five hundred bushels of oats, and
the increased value of the land alone will
more than pay for every dollar’s worth of
( manure used upon it during the period, leav
; ing the crops—the cost of working which
under the intensive system was very small—
almost clear profit, proving incontestably
that the results from scientific agriculture in
the old world are not more certain and satis
factory than with us on this side of the Atlan
tic, for correct principles are universal in their
application and results. A
Unless all Mr.
Furman has solved thej fr®M®gricaitu
ral difficulty of the age, especially as it ap
plies to the South, by producing a manure
that is thoroughly adaped to the planters’
wants and that not only compels unprece
dented crop yields but leaves the soil in
finitely richer and better than it ever was
in any stage of its existence since the
foundation of the world.
His next step and not less important is
to deliver this people from the bondage of
alien fertilizer manufacturers, and keep at
home the surplus wealth that is only too
often sent abroad for imperfect and even
dangerous material. On this point he
speaks as follows:
Our neglect as a people in the past of the
advantages that nature has lavished upon us
has been almost criminal—let us be careful to
make for ourselves such a record in the future
as shall serve as an expiation for that past.
With the whole world paying tribute to South
Carolina as eager purchasers of her phosphate
rock, we have sat quietly by and allowed Eu
ropean manufacturers to come under our very
noses transport the rock across the ocean,
manufacture it and ship it back to us as their
most available and profitable market. Ah !
bat you say we could not help it; we did not
have the material here from which to make
the sulphuric acid necessary to render the
r ock soluble and available. My friends, na
ture never does anything by halves and never
makes a mistake. The scientists will tell you
that iron ore is never found in working quan
tities without the presence of coal, laid away
p the great storehouse of nature in close
proximity, for without the coal the iron ore
could never be reduced.
The English manufacturers, however, the
largest and most succesfal manufacturers in
the world, of acid phosphate, utilize pyrites,
obtained from Spain, in the manufacture of
their sulphuric aoid. They ship the pyrites
from Spain to England—buy the Carolina
rook at Port Royal and Charleston, grind it
fine, acidulate it with acid made from pyrites
and ship the same phosphate back across the
Atlantic to Charleston and other porta, and
undersell the Charleston manufacturers, who
mine the phosphate rock at the door of their fac
ta’ Indeed the Sicily sulphur deaidfMß|
cc.‘ jdsed their inability to cope with® .
’ receo .ty

dustry.
This being true,
and Alabama, with the pyriteSstafflM|H®l
in ledges from our mountains, the phespate
rock within easy reach, and the consumer
waiting at the door of our factory to take the
goods as soon as made? And yet Georgia
and Alabama consumed last year 233,000
tons of chemical manures, and manufactured
less than thirty thousand sending without
their borders -the money whiah. should have
been kept at home—for two hundred thousand
tons of fertilizers.
So nature never manufactured in her won
derful laboratory the phosphate beds without
a provision near at hand of a material ready
at the proper time to be utilized by men in
the preparation of that phosphate rock for the
salvation of our worn and wasted lands. Wo
have that material. The mountains both of
Georgia and Alabama abound in pyrites ore
of the finest quality, exactly suited for the pro
duction of sulphuric acid, that pioduet of
which Leibig. the great agricultural chemist,
said: “Show me the amount of sulphuric acid
that a nation produces and I will tell you what
is its advancement in the scale of civilization.”
The American manufaoturers have hereto
fore ignored pyrites in the manufacture of
acid phosphate using Sicily sulphur, a vol
canic product, bought at heavy expense across
the ocean, as the base from which to procure
their acid.
Weightier and wiser words were never
spoken. They are the palpable and golden
echoes of what a noted Northern railway
official once delivered to the writer, thus:
“I can tell you how the South can get rich
in short order. It is to the interest of our
company that she shall continue to buy her
fertilizers abroad ; but I frankly tell you
that if she made them at home her prosper
ity would be almost fabulous. The North
becomes gigantically rich nt the expense
of the South. The man who can persuade
your people to live largely within them
selves and make their own manures may be
justly considered the greatest benefactor of
his countrymen,”
It is the ambition ot Mr. Fubman, as we
understand it, not only to show the South
how to comprehend and apply a perfect
fertilizer, but that this fertilizer shall
be essentially a Southern product a
long way better, cheaper and more
fructifying than the material that
has made millionaires of so many Northern
people and paupers of so many Southern
farmers. Mr. Fubman, as we view it, has
fulfilled all the conditions of being consid
ered such a public benefactor. He only
needs to be sustained by Southern farmers
and merchants to an extent that will not
only prove beneficial to them bnt to this
section, vrhich provenly contains, accord
ing to Prof. Pbatt and other experts, all
the necessary raw material for a complete
restoration of the soil, its permanent
fertility and the saving of millions
of money that annually go out of the
South’s pockets to the vast enrichment
of strangers and the disastrous leeching
ofeur people. If Mr. Furman and Mr.
Colquitt can stop that drain of
money and turn it upon our
own cities and fields, they are
worthy of the highest honors any nation
could bestow upon its worthiest citizens.
They feel assured of success, and we see
no reason to doubt their highest anticipa
tion. If Fubman can make a fertilizer that
performs miracles on poor land, there is
no reason to question his ability to apply
intensive finance to intensive agriculture.

TO THE PUBLIC.
On the 14th of May last, through force of circumstances, I was compelled to make
an assignment of all my effects for the benefit of my creditors, which I did without
reserve. Bat lam now glad to say, through the kindness of my friends and
the liberality of my creditors, I hope, in a very short time, to be placed again on
my feet, and for such kindness I hereby return my grateful thanks.
In reorganizing my house, Mr. W. T. HOUSTON, who has been in my employ for
many years, will have charge of the Wholesale Department.
Mr. ALLIE BIOHARDS, who for some years has had charge of the Order and j
Sample Departments, will still have charge of same.
My son, CHARLIE B. RICHARDS, who has for some time been by Book Keeper,
will still have charge of that Department.
And Mr. JOHN WICKER, who for many years has been connected with the well -J
known house of Mr. James Miller, will be Floor Manager. And with this corps of
efficient assistants, and many of my former polite and trusted salesmen, I hope soon
to regain my former prestige in the commercial world, and, to help me do this,
hope all my old customers and many new ones will extend to me as liberal a patronage .
as will be consistent with their interests. A
For the present the stock of Goods now on hand, and which is targe and well as- fl
sorted, will be closed out during the summer months at a large and liberal discount on fl
former prices, and our customers may expect some Elegant Bargains. Very respect* wf
fully,
V. RICHARDS.
