A STEENS 'VIEW
In which William Arp Discourses
at Length upon the Difficulties
of Politicians.
Sometimes I think man is a great
invention —grand, noble, Godlike. —-
Then again I think lie is a contempt
ible pup. Sometimes I hear of ins
making some greet sacrifice or put
ting ids his life in peril Lr I lie good
of his fel!"W-men, and. then * again
i see a v. hole- passe! of ’em quarreling
like dogs over u bone. U hat kind,
of a thing is he til) an average V Are
we all alike on a lurch, th t is when
wo arc ; ut iu the same situation and
surrounded by the same circumstan
ces ? I’ve bem reading the apt-tv
diliigi fitly about this Colquitt and
Gordon and .toe Frown Bn.-im;.--.-.- ■
I've been re;; dug till sides so as to
get ul the b tttnn fuels if I could and
1 think i have, but l don’t know yet
wh.it the fuss is about. One paper
is mail w ilt all t! roe of cm, another
is mad with Grown and Colquitt, an
other is mad with Colquitt and Gor
don, but thinks Joseph is all right.—
That last is an independent paper
that a few months ago was abusing
Jog brown like ho was a thief. 1
don’t understand if. When did the
independents turn over to him and
what for? One man is dreadfully
concerned because Governor Colquitt
said tiro man who accused him of
making a bargain was a liar ami a
thief. I’c writes like Ins feolmgs
were hurt and tries to prove that
there was some sort of an under
standing about something, Suppose
there was—what’s wrong about it?
Where is the poor man, who wouldn’t
swap oil’ a $6,000 office for a-v 15,-
000 one. The only question I see in
it is whether Joo brown's appoint
ment was one lit to be made. That's
all; and the legislature can settle that
when it meets. Joe can’t do any
harm in the next ten days, I reckon,
and then the senate will adjourn. If
the appointment was one lit to be
made, then nobody was hurt—and it
don’t matter even i( Joo Is to help
Colquitt and help Gordon, too. They
are both poor and need help and I
wi h they could git lots of it. 1
wish everybody had help that needs
it —I would like some myself, and ii
1 over get into office I want it under
stood now that if I can trade it off
lor a better one I am going to do it.
Thais my understanding of what po
lilical office is—something to trade
oil. Folks have been trading in cm
ever since I can remember, from the
president down. I dou't reckon
there is an aspirant, in the lici t now
that bitouT been trading— iixuip up

his; .dato for his cabinet and the best
offices sn ns to got as much influence
as possible. Politicians make com
binations and nil sorts of promises.—
lfow does tiro cLik of tho bon-o or
the secretary of the senate get elect
ed or any other officer, in fact? Its
liko i laying a certain game of cards
—every man gees into the game with
his hand, and if it ain’t a winning
one ho can thiow up or turn over his
cants to hi;; partner and divide the
winnings. Suppose a man goes into
the govern;;! ! s convention with twen
ty counties for him- and there art
several Candidas sand nobody lias a
majority, why ho combines with some
other fellow. They pool their votes,
bank on their friends, and if they
can’t be governor they sell out for
something Ices—a jadgt-hip, or atlcr
ucYgencral, or something. Why,
here in my county they fix up a slate
for ail the county offices, a sort of
"you tickle me, 1 tickle you concern,"’
and it genet ally wins. Ail sides do
it—whigs and democrats, indepen
dents and rcpableaus, That’s
where independents all come from.
When an ambitions man is left off
the slate lie gets mad about it and
bolts and sets up a little state of his
cwn, and there’s generally so many
of em left out, they can make up a
pretty good outside ring. They pool
their disappointment find sometimes
whip out t'ne regulars. That’s all of
it. llut you sec General Gordon and
Governor Colquitt and Joe Crown ail
three deny this pooling arrangement,
and 1 believe em They say th ,t one
thing dkient depend upon another
thing—tint it wasi til. a treaty with
three c-unins, and they know better
t!iin I do. In fact, they know bet
ter iban Mr. Prolioiiopnkkci or any
oUi.r man. i don't like tint name.
One of tiie wor.-t frauds I ever knew
used to write for the papers under
tii at name. I hey say it means “for
the pul lie good,’’ but I’ll bet that
feller rs a sore head and is mad
because, the mortgage was foreclosed
without public notice, and give him
no chance to bid or to trade. I tell
you Governor Colquitt, is a thought
ful man. lie knew how many hank
ered aft. r tiic place and if he hadn’t
made tho appointment beforehand he
would have been bodeveled mighty
nigh to death. I don’t reckon any
body is making a fuss except them
who htu! an axe to grind, or haven’t
got over their hatred of Joseph. I
used to hate him myself, but I’ve got
over it, I’ve abused him tiii I got
tired, and be just went straight along
like I wuseut about and so I’ve quit.
If. a maujgmothers his feeling lie can
stay mad forever, but if ho will just
explode and taro around, the reac
tion will come on after a while. Sid
ney Smith said that “a little morsel
of slander was mighty sweet to in
dulge in.” but no reason is justified
in making a hog of himself and guz
zling down great hunks of it. That s
wind some folks are doing right now
making hogs of themsoves—eating
more slander than they can digest
and it not only makes them sick, but
acts like an emetic on their fine lids.
I’m sick right now from reading the
papers. Its tco much fuss for the
size of the thing—ten days iu office
ain’t no birthright. Governor Col
quitt hasent fixed no chains upon the
people. Their time will come when
the legislature meets, and the big
issue is net on Gordon nor on Col
quitt. Its going to be on Joe Brown,
and I reckon ho can stand it. One
thing is cert fin, we can’t bo worsted
up iu this district. Our folks Lave
been in purgatory for six years and
we can’t be sent much farther. May
be Joe Brown will throw his lasso
over these independents and haul cm
up to the rack and tie cm. I hope
so. lie’s got some of em already,
but. I don’t know what bo is going to
\do wtlU cm. But its a'l nothing to
me. 1 ain’t afeerd of Joe Brown

UPLAND PACE.
In many portions of- Georgia and
Florida the the theory of “all cotton”
has been exploded. Indeed, cotton,
in sonic sections, is becoming a secon
dary interest, and will, ia time, give
way to some more certain and more
profiatable crops. The one which
engages our attention at this time is
upland rice. It lias been a popular
idea that rice could not grow only on
low lands, where it could be flooded
at will. Tills, however, is a mistake,
and it is a fact that any of our ordi
nary lands —pine lands or hammocks,
wet land or dry land, rich or poor —
will, if propeily planted and cidtivat
ed, grow a paying crop of upland rice.
We have seen fair results on new pine
lands, but we have seen better crops
on older lands,. Mr Hodges, a gen
tleman and citizen of.Nassau county,
once told me he had grown sixty
bushe ls of rice per acre oil his ordina
ry "pine land, with a little “cow-pen
ning” and good culture.
ltice may be planted any time be
fore the first of June, and even liter,
w Lih fair prospects ot success. The
only, advantage of earlier planting is
that the crop may be harvested bcfoie
the birds come. Butin this country,
where land and labor is so cheap,
rice, liko ,fruit, mellons and many
other things, should be planted in
sufficient quantity to spare the 1 boys
and birds their share.”
Tire cnltun?of rice is very, sim
pie, and it has been s'uggscted that
the land on whiqji the present vegt ta
ble crop lias been grown and is be
ing hat vested would bo the very best
pos. iblc lor a crop of rice. It is now
clean and lias received a considerable
fertilizer that is not yet exhausted;
it would be easily planted and culti
vated. Seed rice can easily be pro
cured of seed dealers, and we believe
about one peck is required to plant
an acre. The seed is planted in drills
two !o two and one-half feet apart.
For a good stand there should be a
spear of rice every two inches in the
row, which, like wheat or rye, will
‘ stool out” and make a largo bunch.
Tho rice needs good cultivation until
it gets a good start in growth; then
it will take care of itself until harvest
time, when it may be cut and hauled
much like wheat or other grain.
Ilice makes a rich food lor animals.
Cut a little green, it serves the place
of lmy, and grain, too, for horses,
mules or cattle, and requires neither,
threshing nor hauling. Properly
grown, it will produce on our ordina
ry pine lands, twenty to fifty; bushels
to the acre, which is worth in the
hull at least $1 per bushel. Rice feeds
the millions, and we have millions of
acres on which to produce it.—Flori

J THE DESERT OF SAHARA.
A correspondence of the Chicago
T.mes, writing for tho oasis of Tuli
tet, in the Sahara, April (J, says that
so far from being a desolate plain o!
moving sand, as popularity believed,
the Sahara is a cultivated country,
fiuitfulas tho Garden of Eden Like
our “great American deceit,” it Las
been grffntly belied. El Sluir, as the
Arab pronounced it,'is indeed u vast
archipelago of oases, offering an an
imated group) of towns and villages,
A largo bell of IT uit. trees surrounds
i acli of these villages, and the palm,
tho tig, the date, apricots, pome
granates and vines abound in the ut
most profusion. Ascending the At
las Mountains by a gradual slope to
the region of high table-lands, wc
come to the land of Mczabites, or
!>;u Mozab, and then comes a grad
ual descent for three hundred miles
to the vast stretch of treeless coun
try known as the great desert.
The rivers have an inclination of
about one foot in four hundred.
Many ol the streams are dry. except
alter rains, when they deluge the
country.Gun-sbots arc fired and soon,
with a terrible noise, the flood rolls
on. The fc’ahariau city stands as if
by magic on tho banks of the waters
which rise to the tufts of tho palm
trees; but a few days only elapse ere
ail disappears, leaving the district
rich and fruitful. Tito inhabitants
arc not a migratory people, and,
tuilike the tent dwellers of
the nothern slope, live in substantial
houses with thatched roofs and ceil
lings of cane laid upon joists of alve
wood. These houses generally con
sist of but one room, and have no fur
niture except mats on the floor and
upon tho walls for three or four feet
high. Beds are sometimes found,
but no one thinks ot s-leepingon them.
The wails are white washed and in
scribed with verses from Koran.
The inhabitants are made up of gen
uine Arabs and Berbers, or Kubvles,
as the french cell them. Jews are
found in every oasis, and all very
prosperous and influential, doing
much of. tiio trading and making up
of the great, caravans.

- Destructive Influence.
Doubtful countless myriads of liv
ing creatures come into existence, of
which by for the greater part must
bo destroyed: One aph : „ may be tho
parent of 5,90-1,900,000 individuals in
five generations, and when these arc
swallowed up by lady-birds and other
enemies in mass, it is no individual

as the grass can make that tiro ox

It, is unwritten law of nature that one
race must die that another may live;

To Preserve Corn from, Wocvil.
We hear it said, by one considered)
good authority, that if corn, is gath
ered and stored iu tho barn in the
shuck, when, damp or wet (com rain,
that uo weevil will be found to,
trouble it. The theory is that the
dampness generates a beat in the
mass that destroys tho germ ot the
insect, and yet, when stored on the
cob and ill the shuck, not sufficient to,
damage the coru. As it is not from
tho want of facilities for producing
sufficient coni for home use, but tho
difficulty of preserving it, in our cli
