I>o.-s Farming Pay Some Fleas from “ Kaek
woods” n the Subject.
\ft*inr hsHtar: 1 haint got numb cdication.
& i 1 don’t know much about rirtn’, because I
was a poor boy in my raisin' and never went
V> skool much and what time I did go, 1 was
sent on the poor skool fund, which was only
six cents a day in tny raisin’, and thereby the
skool master did not work as hard to learn me
a heap and make me show off at his public to
dos as he did the rich folks’children what went
t. skool when I did. So I has never writ foi
the public on account on it. Hut 1 see so much
in tlie papers nowadays about farminsr, and so
many peees in tbar tellin’ why the country
don’t prosper, why the people don’t git rich,
and git along better farming, so I thought I’d
jest write you a few lines on the subjee, if 1
c m’t spell and tite as well as them college bred
spondenee of yourn.
Now of all the fellers what’s been talking
through your paper on this subjee, I tell you
that feller what signed his name 1 ' Hard-work
talked mighty plain, but lie told the truth, and
has got some purty good idees on the subjee
bat lie didn’t go far enough. He says the rea
son why we don’t make money a farming and
git on better and the country don’t prosper is
b cause the white men don’t work. Now that
is one truth just as shore as I’m horned. Thar
is too many of them that’s a tryin’ to shun that
part of the Bible wluir it says we must yearn
bred by swet on the face, and tryin’ to git a
livin’ without, work. Thar is too many of ’em
that’s a tryin’ to keep out of the sun, that
wants to keep their hands and faces white,
ride in fine buggys and drive line, fast horses
without working for it and “ that’s what’s the
matter with Runner.” Some of ’em can set
down and rite long and mighty smooth readin’
pieces about farmiii , tellin how to farm, how
we ought to manage this, that and the other
department of the farm, to make it pay, but
thev take mighty good care to preach all and
practice none, they only do the theory part,
which they ought to know never pays in any
thing. They can also tell how the free negro
might to be managed to make him profitable.
Now, Mistur Editur, the proof of the puddin’
is said to be the chawin’ the bag, and if these
edicated and fancy ritin’ fellers knows so well
how to do all these things, and thereby make
the country prosperous and money plentiful,
we want to see ’em git at it, for the Lord knows
we need money in these digin’s if we ever did,
for I never heard such a cry about moneys be
ing so scarce as wc have nowadays. Why
whenever we go to town and walk into any
dry goods oi grocery store every little clerk
even, that we meet manifests his deep interest
in farming by asking us with the greatest ap
parent anxiety and preciseness, how is the
crops, how is the corn, now is the cotton, etc.,
and immediately lead otT in conversation by
tollin’ ns how and when to plant, how and
what time to plant, and how much to plant and
how to manure and what arc tlie best fertilizers,
etc., etc., ad infinitum, if you know what that
means. We know our skool master used to
say that big word sometimes when he’d git to
talking about infinite series, iniinitcssimals, or
somethin’ of that sort what had no end. And
we use it in that connection because these little
dorks’ gratuitous instructions and advice upon
the subject of fanning might be somewhat as
similated to that yet undiscovered principle
called perpetal motion or somethin’ of the
kind. Now if they know so much and so well
how to do all these things, why don’t they git
out from behind them counters, come out
among us and go to plowin’, plantin’ and fertil
izin' and thereby raise us out of our distresses.
Ah, the truth is, Mistur Editur, we have long
since larned that the dog that does the most
barkin’ is not always the best.
But askin’ pardon for this digression, we
will return to the drift of our communication.
As I, somehow or other, was born neither
lucky or rich, and durin’ my raisin’ had no
chance to lam much and therefore coukl not
take up no lamed profession and could not get
to be a clerk, necessity drove me to manual la
bor whereupon I chose the vocation of farming.
Nor did I resort to books to lain bow to farm
u , manv of our counselors of the present day
do, but rather resorted to the field and learned
from practice and experience, which are good
teachers in all the departments of life.
And regardless of the smooth leadin’ news
paper articles on farmin’ and aside from the
gratuitous instructions and advice of others,
we have lamed a little about the business And
during our progress we have also larned that
the idea conceived by some, that farming won’t
pay, is false. It always lias, and always will
pay the diligent, industrious, working man,
who does his own work and does not depend
on others.
1 will let you hear from me further on this
s ibject, in a short time. Backwoods.
Prisoner# of War.
Amf.uiccs, Ga., August ',’7, 1875.
Editor* Telfffraph and MeMenger: 1 noticed
some extracts in your paper the other day.
taken from a Northern paper, accusing Jeff.
Davis of cruelty to Federal prisoners during
the war, and your timely comments thereon.
I went North in the fall of 1863 and got hold
of a copy of the “ Washington Union,” of Oc
tober of that year, a l ' truly loyal ’’ sheet, where
in occurred the following, (which T copied in
my memorandum book! ;
•' In reply to a resolution of the House of
Representatives calling upon the Secretary of
War for the number of prisoners of either side
held, and that died during the war, he makes
the following report:
Number of Union prisoners South, 266,940;
died, 22,596. lumber of Confederate priso
ners North, 200,000; died, 26,435. ”
As you see, 2 of the former out of every 22,
and 2of the latter out of every 15. 1 never
saw the report in any other radical paper, and
doubt if it was ever published again, except by
some few Democratic papers—and that time
but few Democratic papers circulated among
the masses. I kept the paper for some rime,
and when some “ truly loyal” tackled me about
our “ inhumanity ” and “ cruelty ” to the priso
ners at Andersouville, 1 drew that paper on
them, which had a very soothing effect.
I think if some enterprising Northern paper
would unearth that report at Washington, ami
give it umversal circulation, it might stop some
of the lies told on us. J. F.

[The following tribute to the memory of
Mrs. E. G. Cabaniss, is from the Homeward
Star, a paper published at Atlanta devoted
to the interest of Texas. The author of the
tribute is Mr. Isaac Parks, a brother-in-law of
the deceased, and for a long time a resident of
Forsyth. Mr. Parks is now a resident of An
derson, Grimes county, Texas, and although
many long, troubled years have passed since he
was a citizen of our town, yet he feels a deep
interest in the people whom he knew and loved
so well while living here. He Is truly a man
of God, thoroughly devoted to building up his
Master’s kingdom, and he has the cheering
hope and firm belief that when the few remain
ing years of his life shall have been passed he
will join the friends who have gone before him,
on that blessed shore where parting will be no
more.— Editor Advertiser.]
The deceased was the daughter of the Rev.
Joseph Chipman, a Baptist minister of Georgia
Although she had three sisters and a brother,
she was the only one of them present at her
mother’s death-bed. She and her husband paid
her mother a visit one Saturday' in the year
1840, and found her attending her house affairs
iu her usual feeble health, and the next morn
ing consented for Mrs. Cabaniss to officiate for
her, and said she “ would restbut it was not
long before her mother summoned all the
family' to her bedside, to receive her dy'ing
blessing. When this Christian mother had
commended them to her Heavenly Father, then
Mrs. Cabaniss received a personal message for
absent sisters, who were sent for to attend the
funeral.
The mantle of the mother fell upon the sub
ject of this notice, the last of five children. The
youngest sister died in 1841, leaving an infant
eight days old, who was taken by Mrs. C. and
received the same attention as her son .Toe*
That mother’s child now lives iu Texas, a happy
wife and mother, striving to imitate her aunt.
She, too, has the care of little ones bereft of
their parents, but, if possible, more tenderly
ctired for. So Mrs. C., though dead, y r et liveth
It is sometimes a mystery how some persons
are gifted in their works of love. Many per-
Many persons trying to bestow blessings on
others, put themselves to so much trouble that
the recipient is pained at the effort It was not
thus with this Christian friend; when she
learned her youngest sister had accepted the
oiler of marriage, she approached her expected
brother-in-law, as hardly any' one could do,
with that unaffected smile, peculiar to herself,
and assured him in a most simple manner, that
lie was most heartily received by him as a
brother indeed. That act was so indelibly' im
pressed that time, distance and death have only
tended to deepen and intensify the impressions
rather than obliterate them. Yes, to him she
ever acted more like a mother than a sister,and
while he felt as a son, he also feels in some
way like he was used as her spiritual father,
having been specially directed by him what to
pray for; she, on the fifth Sabbath iu Septem
ber, 1838, in the presence of her mother, told
him of the love of God in her soul in answer
to her prayers under his direction. In Octo
ber of the same year she and her husband,
band in hand, went into the baptismal grave.
This ceremony was performed by' her venera
ble father, J. Chipman. The spot selected for
this figurative burial, was just north of the old
town of Forsyth, the opposite side of the town
from where their mortal remains now sleep.
The Baptist church was then a feeble band,
having been constituted on the 13th day' of
January', 1838, with only' ten members. Rev.
Joseph Chipman and David Smith formed the
Presbytery. .Tosiali Langley the pastor. At the
suggestion of her brother-in-law, she and her
husband were baptized by her venerable father,
while the pastor baptized six others. Thus
they became the pillars of that church, and the
nursery of A. Buckner, Jesse Wood, Dr. R
Kendrick and Dr. H. 11. Tucker, and in part,
the Indian missionary', Murrow, and others.
Eternity alone w ill unfold the excellency' of
their Christian influence That influence has
spread and will continue to spread; it has been
a leaven in the distant plains of Waco, Texas,
through their oldest daughter. It is going on,
and on, and God in his mercy extend it to un
born generations. So mote it be !
MLinnu *f the Israelite*.
In the opinion of many botanists and bibli
cal scholars, the manna of the wilderness in
which the wandering Israelites W'ere fed forty
years was an ediplelinchen of the genius Lecan
ora. Two closely allied species, the L. escv.lanla
and the 1., ajinis , grow in Armenia and Alge
ria, and arc called by' the natives “manna” and
are eaten by the natives in times of scarcity.
Lindlev says of these linchens in his “Vegeta
ble Kingdom:”
They sometimes appear suddenly in immense
quantities in Persia, Armenia a.ul Tartary,
where they are eagerly devoured by the natives,
who fancy that they must fall from heaven,
not knowing how else to account for the prodi
gious numbers of these plants, of the origin of
which they are ignorant. Parrot says that in
some districts in Persia they cover the ground
to the depth of five or six inches. * * * A
species of variety has lately been found in
quantities in Algeria, andTrevirons informs us
that specimens supposed to have descended
from the clouds at Mount Ararat exist in the
Museum of Natural History in the Armenian
Convent of St. Lazzaro, in an island of that
name near Venice. The curious production in
question is eaten both by men and animals in
the several* countries extended from Algiers
to Tartary, where it is produced. The sheep,
however, which feed upon it in Algiers do not
thrive, in consequence, it is supposed, of the
large amount of oxalate of lime which it con
tains.
These linchens can be gathered during the
whole year in the countries where they are pro
duced. It is stated in Exodus xvi. 31. that the
manna was “like waters made with honey,”
and Numbers vi, S. that "the taste of it was as
the taste of fresh oil.” but there is nothing in
the Mosaic account that may not harmonize
with the theory that thelinchen, a natural pro
duction of the land, was the seemingly mirac
ulously-provided food which subsisted the
Jews in their long sojourn in the desert.
Sexor P. C. Armijo, the mutton millionaire of
New Mexico, sold over 200.000 pounds of wool
last year. With his father and a business part
ner he owns nearly 2,000,000 head of sheep,
scattered over a range of country more than
300 miles square. He bas had two losses by In
dian raids, one of 35,000 tu-ad and the other of
15.000 “but” be says, “i hardly mlaaea ibem.”

A* he who erst the nri-er sang, U)** wretch
Whomjhiret for gold astray from virtue’spaths
Alluring led, displaying thus what lust
Of gold, by wisdom uncontrolled, affects:
So I, in numbers meet, the-growing rage.
The course, the love unchecked, of Base Ball
sing.
Come thou, O Muse, that dids’t inspire the
Bard
In olden days, to sing Achilles’ wrath,
Or, later, him who sang the Course of Time;
Teach me thy strain, lend me thy gracious aid
While I assay' “ things unattempted yet
In praise or rhyme,” and sing with doubtful
voice,
Though imitative still, the Base Ball Ground.
Sport, many hunted, sweat and toiled for
sport,
Waked half the night and labored all the day;
And what was this allurement, dost thou ask ?
A game perfected by some idle brain,
Which, having public admiration high,
Came out, a thing that all admired and in
Grotesque and awkward plight its pleasures
sought,
And manhood with the babe joined in the
sport.
They, on its altar sacrificed ease and peace,
And quiet Saturday evening joys, and home
And many sweet and tender sympathies
Of life; and, to complete the gamesome rite,
Their bodies offered up, and hours of rest
To gain it, What? An hour of dreaming joy,
A feverish hour that hasted to be done,
And ended soon in deep, rheumatic pains.
Most for the excitement which it brought, the
fun,
The praise, the glitter, fashion and renown,
This puerile pastime followed and adored.
But one there was in folly further gone,
With eye awry, and big corns on his hands,
The laughing stock of all church people good,
And by his anxious mama given up,
The Ball-struck school-boy whoe’er in this game
Found most delight and joy.
11l guided wretch!
Thou migh’st have seen him at the midnight
hour
When all good people rest and are with sleep,
Too deep enwrapped to dream in his own
room
Thou might’sl have seen him bending o’er his
Bat
And holding strange communion with his Ball,
Of all that Nature with good sense endowed.
And in their hollow pates some few brains put,
Most passing strange and uncountable,
Of all who Wisdom sold for idle sport
None made such easy terms withTgnomnee.

Tiie Colored Peojiie in Georgia,
The New York Herald publishes a second
letter on Georgia from its special correspond
ent, Mr. Nordhoff. In regard to the poll tax,
the subject of the legality' of which seems to
have been uppermost in the minds of the ne
groes in the late troubles, Mr. Nordhoff says
(writing, however, before the alleged plan of
insurrection:)
“ A law of the State deprives a man of his
vote at an election who has not paid his taxes
for the year previous. There is a poll tax of
one dollar. ‘This,’ said a Republican tome,
‘works badly' against our party', because the
negroes evade its payment, or are careless
about it, or lose their tax receipts, and then
their vote is vigorously' challenged and they
lose it.’ ‘Half the negroes in Georgia are dis
franchised for non-payment of their poll tax,’
was the assertion of another and a zealous Re
publican, a leading man in the party'. ‘ Many
whites do not pay either,’ he added, ‘ but the
Republicans do not challenge as vigorously as
the Democrats.’ A number of Republicans
complained of this law to me as though it was
wrong or unfair; but I think, on the contrary,
it is just and right. Indeed, I would go even
further. In the Sandwich Islands I found a
laxv which seemed to me excellent. It compels
every man to pay annually one dollar poll tax,
two dollars road tax and two dollars school
tax, making five dollars, which is exacted from
every' poll. Such f law coulu wisely be adopted
in every Southern State, and, indeed, in all our
States. And if a voter neglects or refuses to
pay his poll tax, certainly he is not fit to cast a
vote. B_v the way, a Republican in North
Carolina owned to me that so remiss were the
colored people there in paying their poll tax
that if failure to pay there forfeited the vote,
two-thirds of the negroes in the State would
be disfranchised.”
On the whole, however, Mr. Nordhoff con
siders that the condition of the negroes in
Georgia is happy and prosperous. The Sun
says: The conclusive proof which he gives
that the colored people are safe in their lives
and property is found in an official report of
the comptroller general of the State for 1874,
giving the character and value of property and
amount of taxes returned by colored taxpayers
for that year. The number of colored polls re
turned was 83,318. These returned an aggre
gate value of taxable property amounting in
value to $6,157,798, on which they actually
paid $30,788 in taxes. They owned 338,769
acres of agricultural land, and city and town
property to the amount of $1,200,115. This
certainly shows that the colored people of
Georgia have not only been secure in person
and estate, but that many of them have been
industrious and have begun to accumulate.
Those who have acquired property and paid
their taxes have just grounds of complaint
against the thriftless and discontented of their
own race who seek to evade their just obliga
tions to the State, and even conspire against
the public peace for that purpose. In relation
to the negro insurrectionary plot, the New
York Herald and other Northern journals give
deserved credit to the course ot Governor
Smith of Georgia and the prudent self restraint
of the whites. As the ignorance of the blacks
is the greatest source of danger in the South,
an additional argument is furnished by late oc
currences for making education among them
universal.
The white frosts of a week ago did slight
damage in Illinois. Cora in low places was
nipped somewhat. But farther north, in Wis
consin, Michigan, lowa and Minnesota, the corn
and tobacco on low lands suffered seriously In
spite of floods and frosts, however, the Chicago
Tribune says the corn crop w ill be unusually
large. The raius have been of more benefit than
i damage to it, OS the whole.
