The Columbus Enquirer lias tin-
oarthed a curiosity. That paper cays
that Captain II. Cleveland, of Kuwait
county, is now eighty-four years oh’.
During his life ho Ims never bought a
pound of bacon, corn or Hour. All
theso articles ho raises on his own
farm. 'Phis sumo Captain Clevi 11 ml
has a grand-son living in this
county, six miles from Ccdartown,
IIo camo there from Stewart county
about live years ago, bought a small
farm for eight hundred dollars, wo
hcliovc, on tiino. IIo has made enough
on the placo io pay for it, besides ac
cumulating an abundance of stock
of all kinds on his farm. Jfo has done
this by following in the footsteps of
his father, in raising an abund
ance of everything needed on ids farm,
besides having a little to sell to his
neighbors. IHh cotton crop has bceu
dear {fain overy year after the Ural.
If all our farmers would adopt this
plan of raising every thing they and
their stock consume, and reduce the
production of cotton onohftlf, it would
bring about as much money, and it
would bo clear money. This is no
wild thoory, "on paper," but is a fact
which has been fully demonstrated,
and which no one will deny, but fou
nd upon it.
A Washington dispatch snya: Mr.
Carpenter, Internal Hevcmn Collector
for tim Third South Carolina District,
arrived in that city on Tuesday, and
tnailo application at the Internal Itev-
onuo llurcau for troopa to aid in col
lecting the whisky lax in his district.
Ho states that illicit distillation is car
ried on in tho most llagrant manner
and that /Jvo hundred nations of con
traband whisky aro sold daily in tho
most open mauncr. Two deputy
Marshals wore recently killed, lie nays,
by tho whisky venders.
In reviewing tho government sta
tistics for tho year 1871, tho Southern
Prosbyltrinn Huviow extracts oouio
startling figures as to tho coot of va
rious articles. Of those wo reproduoo
throe: "Salaries of ministers of t!:o
Gospel, $0,000,000; cost <1 tobacco
and cigars,$010,000,000; cost of liquor
$2,000,200,0001 ’ ITit ly strong, this,
and it would go to show that tho peo
ple of this country value tobacco ami
liquor above all other things.
Tlic New Attorney (•eneiul.
Judge Edwards Piorrepont is too
wealthy, too respectable ami loo good
a lawyer to dcBOOiul to tho arts that
characterized Williams’ conduct of
nHairs in tho South. IIo is ono of
(1 rant’s personal adherents, and
doubtless owes*his appointment to a
subscription of $20,000 to the famous
fund that was raised by the admirers
of tho illustrious gift-taker. Hut lu:
is a New Yoik lawyer of prominence
and great wealth, and will probably
make as fair an attorney-general as
the m a ssities of tho party will permit,
lie is fifty eight years old, and has
tho icputntion of being a lawyer of
groat acuteness and oratorical strength
During tho war ho was known as a
war Democrat. Of nil tho men men
tioned in commotion with the vacan
cy, he is the best, and wo may reason
ably expect that, under bis control,
partisanship will no longer outrank
justice in tho southern judicial dis
tricts. Not that thcro will bo fair
piny, for Giantism is so constituted
fra to render that impossible, but that
c.’uupnrativoly speaking, matters will
l>o l "-tiered. Tho expenses of dis
tricts like tho ono in western Arkan
sas and the one in North Carolina,
will bo brought into reasonable limits,
and the scaudulous outflow of the
public money for partisan purposes
to seine extent checked. Wo shall
not condemu him in advaucc, but
shall trustingly hope that a man of
his disposition and prominence and
legal talents will not let the otlieo stay
in tho depths that ho will liud it. He

—In your notice of my
bout Fertilizers, you came so
tting that my p< litir.ii w a
hat is, "It docs not pay l<»
igh priced fertilizers with careless
tillage and ovei production of coitou,"
that I do not think your urtiolo needs
much reply. Hut sinco your "proof"
thuL a judicious t so of fertilizer!! will
pay, is so conclusive, that it may mis*
loud sonic of us little farmors, J will
say a few words about it and answer
your question. I only intended my
calculation on tho sixty acres of cot
ton with four mules as an illustration
of tho |K;sition taken; and in that
supposed that tho mules should muko
corn, oats, wheat etc., to sustain tho
farm: so I only estimated tho money
product from tho use of guano on cot
ton. In your figuring you seem to
do tho sumo thing, and add clover us
a money crop. Your "scheme" is c.-r-
tainly a very pretty ono. It reminds
mo of a remark mado by a cultivated
friend of mine, who had bceu ruined
in schools and colleges, and spent
most of his life iu literary pursuits,
knowing but littlo of practical furm-
farming. A few years ago ho figured
out, on jKijur, that ho could make
twelve hundred dcllanj to tho hand
on a farm by planting a good deal of
clover and some cotton, wheat, outr,
potatoes, turnips, ole., as subsidiary
crops. Ho bought somo land, muloi.
tools and supplies, hired hands and
wont to woi k with fifteen acres fm
each undo already seeded in clov r.
At tho ond of two yours, finding that
ho had sunk nearly all of his capital,
ho sold out and quit. Ju talking over
his failure lo mo, ho laid out bin
,l f( heme" on paper to me, but it lmd
not proven a success. I naked him
what ho thought of it now, and lie
replied: "Well, my urlum. has the
rare excellence of being a beautiful
one on paper, even though, in practice,
it 1ms utterly failed to moot the ex
pectations tlmt were based upon wlmt
m ined to bo almost a mathematical
demonstration.”
So with your figures. I think they
partake largely of • <o Intauligul on ]• i-
I*t. I have uovc r known any body to
como up to them iu practice. And
tho reasonable conclusion is, it can
not be done. If you can take two
mules, and after making corn onougl
to supply them and Iniiulu, and then
make $11050, you can take my hat,
certain. I will agree to furnish the iia
my lands, mules and tools for I hi
half of it, smartly reduced. While it
may possibly be done with money
and labor both put iu freely, nobody
docs it with your net profits. Many
farmers nro disponed to be too.-.an
guine, catch at such calculation!! and
fail. Oju'I miiioml tit*.

Mr. Editor, think that the Southern
Stub s would have been better off to

should not consider so much, can it bo

Does tho country at largo m ku it

Of Life IiiNtinrnoe is gradunlly and

tho force of its own merits. Tho time
is not fur distant when the death of a

leave the stain of neglected duty upon

ery ono owes to his own dependents
and to the community. Ho who neg

on relatives and friends, when it
