Mi Biixzum friend, ilura e Greeley, has rv a b 'ok with the uhnv nutne. end aith*> i haven’t hud time tew peioo*e it yet i don’t hesitate to pronounee it fully. Phartuir e (now daze) is pretty much all the**ry, and therefore it ain’t astonishing that a man kan live in New York and h° a ff°od chancery lawyer, and also know about pharming. A pharm (now daze) ov one hundred akers wiil produce nn-re buckwheat and pumpkins, run on theory, than it would 8 xty years agi, run on manure and haid krmks. There is nothing bke book larnin. and the time will eventually come when a man won t hnv to hav only one of “Josh Billings’ Farmers’ A’munax” to run a pharm or a kamp- meeting with. Even now it a ; nt unkommon tew see three or our hired men on a pharm, with three or four spin of oxe *, till standing still whi e the boss goes into the library and reads himself up (Ur the day’s ploughing. If i was running a pharm, (now daze), i suppose i would rather have thirty-six bushels ov sum new breed of p* tat* ze tag* and on theory than tew have eighty-four hu~h els got n the mean, benighted and under hand way ov our late lamented grandparents. Pharming, after all, is a good deal like the tavern bizzness, ennyb**dy thinks they kan keep a h tel (now daz* ), and ennybody thinks they kan pharm it (now daze), and they kan, but this is the way that poor hotels cum tew* lie so plenty, and this is likewise what makes pharming such eazy and profitable bizznes. Just take the theory out ov pharming, and there ain’t nothing left, but hard work and all fired life krnps. When i see so much pholks rushing into theory pharming, »z there is (now daze), and so menny ov them rushing out agin, i ’hink ov that remarkable piece ov skriptur. whieh remarks, “menny are called but sow are chosen.” 1 onst took a pharm on shares miself, and run her on some theorys, and the thing figured up this wav. i dun all the work, phurnished all the seed an manure, had the ague for 0 months out ov 12. t**r mi share ov the profits, aid the other phellow paid the taxes on the pharm for his - hare. By mutual konsent i quit the pharm at the end ov the year. What i know about pharming aint wurh hr'iggin about, arid i feel it mi dooty to state, for the benefit of mi kreditors, that if they ever expekt me tew pay nve cents ou a dollar, they musn’t s art me in the theo retikal farming employ. It a man is really anxious to make rhun~ nev on a jrhttr™. the less theory be lays in (be.better, and he muG d*. meuy muon all thqf work hisseif and support his family on v 1 (tit he can’t sell, and go ragged enufi' all the time tew hunt hoes I kno of menny pharmers who are so afflicted with superstition that they won’t plant a single bean only in 11»e last quarter ov the m >on, and i kno others so pregnant with science that they won’t set a gate s>*-st until they have had the ground anulised hi sum pr*Tossor of onat<*mv tew see if the e-trrh has the tight kind of ing edience for post holes. This is what i call running science into the gr nnd. The fact ov it iz that theories of all kinds w-*rk well except in praktiss ; they pre too often desiged to do the work of practise. There aint n<> theory in breaking a mule only tew goat him with a klub in your hand and sum blood in your eye, and brake him just as you would st-lit a log. What 1 know about pharntin aint wiuh much enny how, hut I undertook to brak** a k eking heifer once. I read a treti-s on the suhjekt, and phol lowed the direkshuns close, and got b.r.okt endw.ize in about 5 minits I then sat down and thought the thing over. I made up my mind that the phellow who wr te the treaties was more in the treaties Dizziness than fie was in the kicking heifer trade. I enm to the konklushun that what he knu about kiking heifers had learnt by leanin over a barn-yard fence, and writing the thing up. I got uo fmm mv refl *kshuns elrengthen ed. and went t*>r that heifer. I will draw a veil over the language I used, and the things I did, but I went iu to win. nnd won ! The heifer never bekum a cow. Tins is one way to brake a kicking heifer* and after a man has studied all the bo ks in kreashun on the suhj ct, and tried them on, he will fall hack onto mi pi m and make up hi< mind as 1 did. that a kicking heifer is wuth m* re for beef than she is for theo retic miik. I hav worked on a pharm just long enuff tew kn* w that there iz no prayers so g od for poor hind as manure, and no theory kan beat twelve hours each day (sundaz except ed) of honest labor applied to the sile. I am an old phasioned phelow, and heart* ilv hate m**st r.u things, bekause I hav bin by them so often. I never knu a pharm that was worked pretty much hi thporv, hut what was fo* sale i r to ler in a few veers, and I never knu a pharm that was worked by manure and muscle, on the good oid ignorant way ov our ancestors, but wnat twaz handed down from father to son, and alwus was noted for rai-ing brawny-armed bovs and buxmn lasses, and fust rate pot it**es. What I kno about pharming is nothing hut experience, and experience now daze ain’t worth a kuss. I had rather have a good looking theory tew ketch flats with than the experience even ov Methu>ler. Experience is a good thing to lay down and die with, hut yu kant d*> no fuzziness with ir (now daze); it aint hot e uff. Cue me a red n**t humbug, and I kan m ike most ov the experience in this world ashamed ov irsp f CTncinnaii n»<i a iifcs.e t 1* >rt!and ex perience on the f<>urth.

Politics in Teuncsace. From the Atlaata Sun.] Memphis. July 2G. 1871. Editor Sun : Y ur the r inks of j *urnuli>m carries me hack in history to the better and purer age of nur Federal Republic, wi»en such men n*» Jefferson and Madison, Hamilton and Jav, Livingston and Calhoun, Bar and Richie, and a host of others like them, dul not d'sdain. by t‘eir writings to instruct their fellow c itintrymm, through the public press, in the true principles jf Constitutional Liber ty*» It is ns lamentable ns iWs mortifying to think of tho degeneracy of modern times in this particular. Many of those who now address the public through the l’tess are f are expediency men. The people are al m *B l daily advised by this latter class to surrender some right or to abandon some principle. They never teach, as did the great men above referred to, that constitu tional liherty can only be maintained and preserved by those who have the intelli gence ami courage to defend it against the insidious encroachments of power. Nor do we anywhere read where they exhort their cOuntrvmen, as did those great men, never to suffer an invasion of their political C in stitution, in however unimportant a par ticular, to pass without a stern condemna tion, and a determined persevering resist ance. But the former were statesmen, who had made the science of Government their study, while most of the latter rise to no higher dignity than that of mer° politicians. The former had learned from reading “old hooks-.” by experience, and from observa* tion. that one precedent creates another, that these soon accumulate and become law, and are then resorted to as pretexts by hid and ambitious men, seeking to over throw the liberties of their country, in order the better to conceal their real mo tives. These men have appeared to us, of late year under so many names, that I am in doubt bow to designate them at this time ! Only yesterday they were known as Con servatives; but. the people discovering tiieir rea 1 character and design, and utterly repudiating them, they re-appear to-day, under the new and captivating appelations of “New Departurists,” “Young democra cy.” and “Progressive Men,” whichever will best suit their particular localities, hoping to mislead and entrap the unwary. I'ruler whatever name they may operate, the people may he assured of one tiling that the leading spirits who will eventually control the movement are no friends to Constitutional Liberty, hut, on the contrary, are among its most determined and deadly enemies. In this section of the country, they assumed, as best suited to their pur pose, the name t.f “New Departurists,” wdth which they had beeu dubbed upon their first re-appearance. Some politicians in this State, of the cl I, El. 4.-o nn till* lookout to l*et their fingers in the public ciib, lured by the tempting motto, in substance, <>f ‘ Anythin'/ for Victory and Spoils,” “Anything to win,” with a haste that Was as imprudent in them as it was indecent for honorable men, jumped at the bait thrown out, arid hooked themselves ; but the great mass of the Democracy have almost unanimously refused to give it their approval or sanction, notwithstanding the Unauthorized recom mendation to this effect Uy the State Cen tral Executive Committee of the Party This I know to be particularly true of the Middle and Western Sections of the State In the cities and towns, one mav m°et. here and there, with a “New Departurist,” so called, from the, Democracy ; hut it is almost impossible to find one such in the country. Y"nr course is indorsed and ap proved bv the great body of the Democracy of this State. The Tennessee Democracy are sincerely and devotedly attached to the Constitution of their Fathers and will never stultify themselves l>y sanctioning measures, which they have, for yems past, and nounced as “usurpations, unconstitutional, revolu tionary and void ” Elbert, Fair List for 1871—.

I^. 0«-uth of (hr Wonderful FiuU-f* Child in Ilostou. We mentioned in our columns yesterdav the presence in Boston of a most remarkable child, the offspring of J seph and Ann R. Finley. It preaeted the ns well ns unprecedented phenomenon ot two heads, lour arms, and two legs, and ail upon a simile body The girl —for such was its fi' X —died lost evening at No 6 B wdom street. The first half, or head, breathed its lust at 5. nnd the second shortly after 8 o’clock. The many thousands in the West ern and Middle Btates who have seen this marvellous ec*entricity of nature will learn its enriv death with regret. The child—or children as it would almost seem prop r to allude to the phenomenon hud enjoyed, excellent health from her birth, nine moths ago. until within two we- ks, ut which time one exhibted signs of illness. This, how ever, was but temporary. It recovered, and was bright and playful. Since reach ing Boston, a few days since, the other—or the other half— was taken sick and died yesterday afternon, as already stated. The two portions of the body were so intimately connected that the death of one rendered that of the other inevitable. The spectacle was equally novel, strange, and unparallel ed Upon one end of the body reposed the head of the dead infant: upon the other, that of the live one, with its eyes still bright curious, and its lungs in full breathing order. All that medical aid could accom plish was done, but it was found unavailing. The child died in the presence of her parents. The corpse presents the appearance of two infants asleep. Apparently, they escaped the ordinary suffering incident to death, for the countenances had the express! >n of repose. The di position of the body is not determined upon. Several of our physicians were desirous of having it opened for ex amination. It is doubtful if the parents consent. They reside in Monroe county, Ohio, and live upon a farm. They have other children, but none have exhibited any unusual developments. Nor can this ex traordinary departure from the laws of na ture be accounted for In Philadelphia, where all the medical Solons undertook to solve the problem, nothing whatever was brought to light. The child was looked upon with amazement and interest, but all attempts to account for its existence were futile. It is regarded ns more of a curiosi ty than the Siamese Twins, and most ♦or tainly the spectacle was more pleasurublo to the eye. The child was shortly to have been exhibited to the public, and would doubtless here, as elsewhere, have attracted throngs of visitors. The parents were es.- peceially devoted to the little marvel, and their sorrow is grievous. llow to See Down a Well —lt is not generally known how easy a matter it is to explore the bottom of a well, cistern or pond of water, by the use of a common mirror. When the sun is shining brightly, h .l,t a mirror so that the reflected rays of light will fall into the water. A bright spot will be seen at the bottom, so light as to eiw.w the smallest obiect plainly. By tins means we have examneu o»„ of w r ells fifty feet deep, when half full or more of water. The smallest straw or other small objects can be perfectly seen front the surface. In die same way one can ex amine the bottoms of ponds and rivers, if the waters be somewhat clear, and not agitated bv winds or rapid motion. If a well or cistern be under cover, or shaded by a building, so that the sunlight will not fall near the opening, it is only necessary to employ two mirrors, using one to reflect the light to the opening, and another to reflect it down into the water. Light may be thrown fifty ora hundred yards to the precise spot desirable, and then downward. We have used the mirror with success to reflect light around the hou-e to a shaded well, and also to carry it from a south win dow through two rooms and then into a cistern under the north side of the h use. iialf a dozen reflections of light may no male, though each mirror diminishes the brilliancy of the light. Let any one not familiar with the method try it, and he will not only find it useful, but a pleasant ex periment. It will perhaps reveal a mass of sediment tit the bottom of the well that has been little thought of, but which may have been a frightful source of disease by its decay in water. Good Temper—“ Oiling tiie Wheels.”— The great moral lubricator which makes everything in human life run without fric tion, is good temper. As soon as this is exhausted, the journals of the human machine begin to heat, and wear, and screech, and the entire mechanism becomes noisy and ruinously wasteful of power. “The horse that fre's, is the horse that sweats,” is an old saying of horsemen, ami it is just as true of men as horses. The man that allows biinseif to get irritated at every little thing that goes amiss in his business, or in the ordinary affairs of life, is a man that, as a rule, will accomplish little, and wear out early. He is a man for whom bile and dyspepsia have a particular fondness, and for whom children have a particular aversion He is a man with a perpetual thorn in his flesh, which pricks and wounds at the slightest movement ; a man for whom life has little pleasure, and the future srn ill hope, lo keep jolly” under all provocations, is perhaps a ta-k which only l>iclens y Mark Taplpy could perform. We never have met M irk Tanlev in our experience of hu man nature, but we have see him ch.sely approximated ; and it would he well if people in general coo'd approach more nearly that inimitable character. In ail the phases, emergencies, and oc cupations of human life * good temper is a commodity for which there is great d'inand; but in tnose which bring an individual into daily contact with rrtariy others, it is per haps in greatest ckmand and most limited -apply.
