With tho movements of this hemisphere we are of necessity more immediately concerned, and by causes which must bo obvious to all enlightened and impartial observers. Tlie political system of the allied powers is essentially different in this respect from that of America. This difference proceeds from that which exists In their respective governments. And to the defence of our own, which lias been achieved by the loss of so much blood and treasure and matured by the wisdom of their most enlightened citizens, and under which we have enjoyed unex ampled felicity, this whole nation is de voted. We owe it, therefore, to candor and to iho amicable relations existing between the United Htates and those powers, to declare that wo should con sider any attempt on their part to ex tend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With Iho existing colonies or dependencies of any European power wo have not interfered and shall not in terfere.

About the “Hood Old Hays.” "i guess these farmers who are groan ing about low prices and liigb taxes, and wlio are longing for the good old times, don’t remember much about tlio good old times,” said a well known Orange county farmer. “I can remember when wo used to haul our grain, bntter, pork, and eggs all the way to Newburgh, going one day and coming back tlio next. We generally got fifteen cents a bushel for oats and ten cents a pound for butter. ,Seventy-five r rs a bushel for wheat was a fancy pile If we got six or eight cents a dozen h.r eggs we thought we were doing well. Nice corn fed pork, dressed, we carted to market for $2 a hundred. Tho butter we pnt on the market in those days was the genuine Orange county article, yellow tut gold and as hard as a walnut. 1 have sold tubful after tubful of butter for 10 cents a pound that would net me 75 cents easy if I had it, or any like it, to sell now. That was before the Erie Railway came through here and pint us up to selling our milk instead of making it into butter. We didn’t have any lime-kept eggs to sell in those days either. As for taxes, I paid 8100 on my farm of 100 acres when I was getting 10 cents a pound for bntter. On the tame farm now J pay $42.50, and I have sold my entire dairy of milk for what is equal to more tßan three times ten cents a pound for butter. There is.a good deal of humbug in this mourning after the good old days, and I know it." IHE JESDP BOOSE Corner Broad and Cherry Sts. JKSUP, - ■ GEORGIA..

Ilalf u century ago there was a great shipping firm in Now York city—the brothers Hurlbut—trading witli and car rying passengers to Southern cities.

Tho cap tain noticed that Hie beauty received all tho toasts and attentions, and his innate sense of politeness and justice rebelled.
