Agriculture is the leading industry of
this country. It Is the source from which
•11 other trades, professions and industries
•Ither directly or indirectly draw their life
current. When agriculture languishes,
then every other business feels the dopres-
rion. It is conceded that the occupation
of farming within the trading radius of
Columbus in every direction for the post
several years has not been a paying
but ratbor a loosing business. Asa result
from this, stagnation in a degree has set
tled upon all occupations. In Bpite of this
fret, however, there has been a steady
though not rapid growth in the popula
tion of our city, due in part to to the fact
that some new industries nave been started
’Within our limits, and partly to the dispo
sition of the country peoplo to run away
from a business whose outlook was not
encouraging, and partly to the fact that in
OOntrast with the rural districts our city
afforded most excellent educational ad
vantages.
Now, if by an v means the tide in farm
ing affairs coulu turn; if this incubus could
be lifted from the shoulders of the farmers;
if this business could begin to pay; if once
more they could visit, the city with their
pockets well Oiled with the ducats as .the
proceeds of prosperous farming, how
quickly would the city feel the new life—
now much more rapidly aud strongly
Woul 1 throb tho pulse of her prosperity.
Never, never can we hope for long ami
rapi'i strides in our country’s growth, ex
cept, perhaps, in a few localities highly
favored by accidental circumstances, until
our farmers luarn the secret, if secret it
be, of how to make the farm pay,
Whoever, therefore, will devise a plan,
or plans, to accomplsli this, and will teach
men so, will be indeed his country’s friend;
Will deserve plaudits of his countrymen
now, and have his name written high up
in the niche of future fame.
• On this line let me venture the sugges
tion, that one of the troubles with the
agriculture of this country now, is that it
once knew a bewildering prosperity.
Many of our methods now are such as
came into vogue when that prosperity was
at its zenith. The habits of business then
formed havo adhered to us like so many
leeches, sucking all the blood out of our
present system.
It is n great misfortune to acquire in
prosperity such culture and tastes, such
modes of thought and of action as comport
only with a condition of prosperity, and
then to have our riches “take wings and
fly away,” leaving us with the habits of
the rich, but without the means to support
the habit. Like the pains of an old wound
healed only on tho surface, these habits
remain and add to our woes, discomforts
and regrets, and serve to paralyze our
efforts. If the habits of an effete system
could pass away with ttie system, then
great and sudden changes would not
be so mischievous. If the present gener
ation of farmers who have been set back
in property ami possessions by revolution
to where their fathers began life could
bring themselves to adopt the habits of
economy and self-reliance, which in the
beginning prevailed with them, we might
hope that soon again this once fair laud
would speedily bloom and blossom with
the fruits of n renewed prosperity. Will
we do it, can we make the sacrifice, are
We equal to the taHk? If not, then must
We coutent ourHelves, then must we suc
cumb to the lethargy of despair and con
tinue to be tho seedy gentry of a manly
and robust ancestry?
Another trouble" has been that many
formers, forgetting the maxims of pru
dence, have struggled to make a splendid
bound and by om leap vault upon the
chariot of riches. Some have been even so
Wild in their bastard efforts to get rich
speedily as to go outsido of their legiti
mate business, and invest in cotton futures
Or other equally foolish speculations. But
most of them have run their farms since
the war on a speculative plan, and have
banked their alt upon one east, of the die.
It is true that now and then a man who
is surrounded with all the circumstances
fovorable for success, and is endowed with
fine executive abilities may adopt a splen
did and expensive line of operations in
forming and may meet with great and
even phenomenal success. Just so, a man
may stake his money against faro bunk, or
buy u ticket in a lottery ami may come
out winner, hut the success of the one
ought, not an 1 need not ho the allurement
to lend others into tho venture. Some
fish can swim in more difficult
waters than others. Only such vessels as
are fully prepared to ride the stormy sea
ought ever to go far out from tho shore.
Make haste slowly. Let us first .make a clean
estimate of our present worth and then get
right square down upon our own bottom
and there build a sure foundation, and
then olimb up ns we add one stone upon
another or one dollar upon another. When
OHee a man is sure of Ills footing he stands
with confidence, and may calmly look
Stemt him.
When our fathers went into the forests
they built, their cabins and then accommo
dated their wants and their expenditures
to the scantiness of their surrounding, and
upon this rock did they afterwards erect
those mansions in which were born the
people of the present generation. The
mansions remained but the habits of econ
omy and industry passed away with the
log cabin era.
Now I don’t wish to lie understood ns
discouraging enterprise, by no means, but
enterprise upon a sure and steady basis is
no more the same as speculative farming
than fire which burns is the same as the
“will o’ the whisp.”
Our fnthors cultivated the virgin Boll.
Our soil is old and worn. The natural in
crease iu the slave population and the
g rowth of their flocks and herds added
in per cent, to values anyhow, whether
or not they cleared anything on their
active operations. Rusticus.
RULES FOR TWO.
S.uce fur the IlilAithlHtcil I’SHsenger ami
wine the Conductor.
New York Times.
A dilapidated-looking gentleman boarded
a Broadway car at Chambers street yester
day afternoon aud stood on the rear plat
form with a much worn and evidently
abused cigar stump between his lips. The
dapper-looking little conductor glanced
somewhat contemptuously nt the dilapi
dated looking gentleman’s frayed olive
green coat, his trousers, which had seen
the light of better days, and the huge imi
tation ruby which, if real, might have
scintillated in Victoria’s crown. The con
ductor said nothing until the dilapidated
gentleman took a vigorous puff from the
cigar stump, and opening his mouth blew
forth a volley of smoke, the stale fumes
of which penetrated into the car and
caused a meek little lady to cough and
look indignant.
“No smoking,” said tho conductor gruff
ly. “No smoking, I say.”,
The dilapidated-looking gentleman
gazed with imbecile wrath at the conduc
tor. But he pulled the cigar stump from
his Ups, held it between his weather
beaten, wart-covered fingers, and sat on
the rail of the car, smiling at his thoughts.
Onward went the car. It picked up two
passengers only on its journey to Bleeeker
street, and at that point accelerated its
pace. The dilapidated gentleman mus
ingly put the cigar stump between bis
lips and allowed it to remain there. It
was there for five minutes.
“No smoking. I said,” angrily remarked
the conductor at last.
“Who’s smoking?” asked the dilapidated
man.
"You are.”
“I’m not.” Tho dilapidated gentleman
took the stump from his lips and showed
it to the conductor. It was unlighted.
“I don’t care,” quoth the conductor, sav
agely. “Don’t look ns though you were
smoking. Throw it away.”
The dilapidated gentleman complied
with the request. He jerked the cigar
stump into the middle of the street, and
east one last long lingering look alter It.
By tills time every passenger save one had
left the oar. The conductor was warm.
He wiped his brow. Then he leaned
hack upon the railing, pulled a crumpled
newspaper from his pocket, and surrepti
tiously read it.
“Don’t read,” said the dilapidated gen
tleman viciously. “It’s against the rules.
You can’t attend to your duty when you
are reading. Put that paper away.,’
If a look could have withered the dilap
idated gentleman, he hod been instantly
thus affected. The conductor grew crim-
som with indignation. But he put away
tho newspaper, and said ne’or a word.
There was still only one passenger in the
oar. The vehicle jolted onward until it
reached Thirty-third street. Not a word
was uttered by any one. The silence be
came so monotonous that the dilapidated
gentleman looked about him for amuse
ment. Presently the conductor again
pulled the newspaper from his pocket and
laid it before his face, evidently to keep a
scorching ray of sunlight from burning
his flesh.
“Conductor,” said the dilapidated gen
tleman, "I said no reading.”
“I’m not reading,” retorted the conduc
tor with a menacing look.
“You are.”
“I’m not!”—furiously. The conductor
pointed to the paper, which was turned
upside down.
"I don’t care,” said the dilapidated gen
tleman, wrathfully; “don’t look ns though
you were reading. Give it to me.”
The dilapidated gentleman leaned for
ward, tore the sheet from the conductor’s
bund, and before that injured being could
recover from his surprise was a quarter of
a mile down Thirty-seventh street.
GOOD FOR BASHFUL MEN.
Ktl(|iletl<■ iin If lV'rts Practiced in lln- llimiilhin
Country.
By the established Hawaiian custom and
etiquette it was formerly the female who
was the suitor when a marriageable mate
of the opposite sex was sought. This was
a good plan for the bnshful men, but some
times would render members of the mas
culine sex liable to the charge of ungal
lant conduct. It is told that .1 convert to
the Christian religion, who was much in
terested in tlie welfare of his . juI, was
sought in marriage by a good-lodging fe-
mnFqwho was in the ranks of the ungodly,
and the man replied to her suit that he
must think of the salvation of his soul,
aud then he might he ready to think of
her. In many instances the "beauty of the
women has been too much for the men to
withstand, and they have asserted their
rights ns lords and masters, and asked the
girls.
One poor fellow was once asked why lip
was not married, and lie answered sadly
that none of the girls hud asked him. The
story is told that once several couples
came to the missionary to be married.
When they were directed to join hands
with their partners one man was found
without any intended wife, and was asked
where the damsel was. “Oh,” replied the
bridegroom, “she is at the door putting
on her frock;” and, as she delayed appear
ing, he went niter her, and sooii returned,
after helping to arrange the bridal dress,
and the bonds were duly forged.
The Sandwich Islands is' the only place
where squeaking shoes are fully appre
ciated. The natives regard it as an im
portant part of the footwear, and cheer
fully pay according to the amount of
squeak furnished. Once when a shoe
maker was applied to for shoes with the
squeak in them, he asked his customer
how much he would have put in—a
penny’s worth, twenty-five or fifty cents’
worth, and tho native finally concluded
he would take a whole dollur’s worth.
Tim Sphinx slid Sew Discoveries,
Tlie Academy.
Tho Sphinx occupies a position where
the encroachment of the desert is most
conspicuous. At the present.day nothing
is to be seen of the animal except its
head mid its neck: but the old Egyptian
monuments on which it is figured show
not only tlie entire body down to the
paws, but also a large square plinth be-
iioatli, covered with ornaments. Since
tlm time of the Greeks, perhaps even
since tile reign of Thothmes IV., this
plinth bos disappeared beneath the sand,
and its very existence had been forgotten.
It is geneiilly supposed that the Sphinx is
hewn out ol a large isolated rock, which
overlooked the plain. But M. Maspero’s
researches suggest that it is a work yet
more stupendous. He has proved that
tlie Sphinx occupies the centre of an am
phitheatre, forming a kind of rocky basin,
the upper rim of which is about on a level
with the head of the animal. The walls of
this amphitheater, whenever visible, are
cut by the hand of man. It seems proba
ble. therefore, Unit In the beginning there
was a uniform surface of rock, in which
an artificial valley has been excavated, so i
as to leave in the middle a block out of !
which the Sphinx was finely hewn. The I
excavations now being carried on, will
doubtless verify the existence of the plinth
shown on the old paintings, and also furn
ish evidence, by the ornamentation of the
plinth, of the true age of the monument.
M Mnspero is inclined to assign to it a
very great antiquity—possibly higher than
the early dynasties, i. e., than the first pe
riod of Egyptian history. As the result of
lust winter’s work the sand around the
Sphinx has already been lowered by about
<S0 meters.
EX-GOVERNOR
A,H,STEPHENS'COUSIN
I am first coital n of the late Ex-Governor Alex-
under H. Stephens, and have been postal clerk
on different railroads since !8tw. For ten years I
have been a sufferer from a cancer on my face,
which arrow worse until the discharge of matter
became profuse and very offensive. I became
thorouarhly disgusted with blood purifiers and
pronounced them humbugs, as 1 had tiled many
without relief.
Finally I was induced to uae B. B. B., which
was about the 1st of February, and continued its
use until the latter part of April. The offensive
discharge decreased at once and the hardness
around the cancer disappeared. It improved my
general health aud I rapidly gained fleBh and
strength. The discharge gradually decreased
and the cancer became less and less in size until
nothing Remains except a scar to tell the tale of a
once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me
rince I have commenced the use of B. B. B. bear
testimony of my'great improvement, and the scar
on ray face shows that it cured the cancer. I
And that B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is
recommended, and I cannot say too much in
praise of this wonderful medicine. I have tried
them all, but B. B. B. stands at the top os a blood
purifier.
The above is copied from the Athens (Ga.) Ban
ner-Watchman, being the voluntary language of
Mr. James A. Greer, which Editor Gantt in
dorses :
“Mr. Greer is an honest, upright citizen of
Athens, who had bad cancer, and his numerous
friends thought that he could not live very long,
as the cancer was gradually sapping the founda
tion of his constitution, but now looks well and
hearty.”
2 AGAINST 18.
Several physicians have pronounced my dis
ease blood poifton, caused by paint or lead in the
paint, but they could not cure me. Last summer
I used eighteen bottles of a largely ad
vertised blood medicine, which did me no more
good than so much water.
I have used only two bottles of 13. B. B. and am
proud to say that I have received greater benefit
from them than from the eighteen, and am how
rupidly recovering. There is no question about
the superiority of B. 13.11. overall blood reme
dies. W. H. Woody.

FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES.
For two years I have been confined to bed with
a loathsome form of Blood Poison, which had
about eaten me up, and I and others had no hope
of a recovery. For a while I could neither walk,
sit down, nor lie down, only in misery, as my
flesh seemed to be falling off my bones in pieces
as big as a lien egg. My appetite was lost, my
bones ached and pained me, and friends even
shunned me. I used various blood-purifiers with
out benefit, and several physicians treated me
until large sums of money had been expended,
but not one particle of good did any one give me.
On the 19th of February. 18HG, Mr. F. R. Jackson
celled to see if I was not dead, as it was thought
1 could not endure my suffering much longer.
He concluded to try 13. 13. 13. on me and got a bot
tle from Mr. Brockinglium. at Beaufort, S. c.,
and before one bottle had been used I com
menced gaining strength, my appetite improved,
sores commenced healing, and when two bottles
had been used 1 was on my feet and walking
around, to the astonishment of everybody.

Parrots in Northern I ml in.
Coriihlll Magazine.
One scene connected with parrots is,from
its perfect beauty, often present in my
mind. At a certain residency, one of the
finest in northern India, there is a foun
tain constantly playing, and iu the early
morning the parrots gather together in
vast numbers to drink and bathe in its
running waters and basin. To see their
graceful curves and upward flights before
dashing through and just skimming the
surface of the water, with their unbounded
joy and delight in so doing, was a picture
of ecstatic, ideal, living happiness difficult
to surpass. The parrots of this residency
are almost‘tame, for every morning iour
or live caged ones are let loose to be fed,
and down come nil the wild ones to share
their feast. The early morning is the
time to see these birds at their brightest
and best. At tlie first glimpse of the
rising sun they forsake - their night's rest
ing place s and fly shrieking forth in search
of food, and on many a tree jhey may be
seen pulling off the precious berries and
fruits. Alas! the mahil’s (gardener’s)
heart does not warm to parrots, for their
nature is to work destruction wherever
they go, and they pick off and destroy far
more than they eat, as the unripe man
goes lying at the foot of a mango tree will
testify.
Seeing my admiration of and my enjoy
ment in these green parrots, my friends
with whom I was stopping decided it
would be nice for me to have two to take
back to England with me. In vain I rep
resented to them that it was the beauty
and life of the wild ones I admired, and
that I thought caged ones would be sorry
representatives of their kiud. But, no,
the fates would have it otherwise.

This cut is an illustration of ••Goltlen’* Improved Iron Screw Cotton I*re«H. M
erected in the most substantial and convenient manner. It is simple in construction, and so well
illustrated by the cut, that scarcely a word is needed by way of explanation. Being simply an
Iron Screw and Xnt substituted for wood, the wood work of its construction, and the manner
of operating it, are subslar stantially the same as in the old style of wooden plantation screw, but
the timbers required are not so heavy or long. Most planters of experience prefer the wooden screw
to any of the more modem Cotton Presses in use, but tlie difficulty and uncertainty of controlling
labor and mechanical skill in the season of the year most convenient to the planter for their erec
tion, usually renders it a matter of economy, as well as necessity, with him, to buy some kind of
Press that requires but little mechanical skill to put it in operation. ••CJoltlen’a Screw,” Is a
sort of compromise between the old style of wooden screw and the modern Cotton Press, combining
the. principal advantages of the former with the convenience and economy of the latter. It can be
operated with greater facility than the wooden screw, and the rapidity of its performance, like that
of the wooden screw, or any other press, depends upon its management—as on the old style screws
some planters would pack ten bales, and others thirty or thirty-five bales per day. Any ordinary
mechanic who can make a good plantation gate, or common plow stock, can do the wood work.
Within the last eleven years we have made and sold b great many of these screws, and have yet
to hear of the first one that has not given entire satisfaction.
We furnish all the Iron Work for these Screws, of which we make two sizes, and frilly warranted.
