Experiment Station.
Hon. W. W. Wright lately deliv
ered an address before the Farmers’
Institue, in New York, in which he
said: “There must be some reason for
the success of the experiment stations
and for the failure of many agricul
tural colleges.
•‘The truth is, they are both
schools, in which there ir. little differ
ence in the abilities and qualifications
of the teachers, but there is. a vast
disparity in the number and charac
ter of the students. In colleges- we
teach a few hundred boys, only a
small percentage of whom will become
practical farmers, while the stations
are endeavoring to teach the same
science to a whole community of men
of all ages and conditions, engaged in
the business of agriculture, not alone
through lectures in which the rela
tions of science and practical farming
are explained, but through, the agri
cultural press and prettV much all
newspapers now published and circu
lated in this country, daily, weekly
and monthly, and these are supple
mented by bulb tins giving in detail
appropriate facts and statistics of. the
greatest interest to those who desire
to become better informed in a busi
ness which occupies their constant
thought and in most cases the labor
of their hands. Through these chan
nels the stations reached the whole
agricultural community. Nobody is
too ‘illiterate to participate in this
knowledge if he can read or under
stand what others read to him. No
body is too old to learn in this
“school," and he soon becomes almost
unconsciously a teacher himself, for
ho imparts the knowledge he has thus
acquired to others in farmers’ clubs
and neighborhood gatherings, in the
village tavern or postiffice, at the
country firesides, in the fields and on
the highways, in an unpretentious,
but none the less effective and v doa
ble way. He tests the theories of the
professors, lecturers, newspaper wri
tors, by his in valuable practical
knowledge and common sense, and
often detects the errors into which
theorists are always liable to fall, and
thus renders valuable service to the
true interests of agriculture. It may
happen in this way that men who
have never learned to’ read or write,
bilt are capable of managing a fa'm
well, may become valuable teachers
in a limited sphere.”
The following is a list of the expe
riment stations in the southern States:
Alabama, Auburn; Arkansas, Fayett-
ville; California, Berkely; Florida,
Lake City; Georgia, Athens; Ken
tucky, Lexington; Louisiana, Batoi
Rouge; Maryland, Agricultural Col
lege; Mississippi, Agricultural Col
lege; Missouri, Columbia; North Car
olina, Raleigh; Oregon, Corvallis;
South Carolina, Columbia; Tennessee,
Knoxville; Texas, College station;
Virginia, Blacksburg; West Virginia,
Morganstown.
Farmers in any state can obtain
the reports and bulletins of their own
station, free of charge, upon applica
tion. The reports and bulletins from
other states arc sometimes sent tree,
but when the applications bcccmc so
numerous as to be a tax upon the in
come of the station, a small charge is
made, varying from forty cents to
sixty cents a year.
Not Jefferson Davis’s Niece.
Editors Constitution : Please
correct, through the columns of your
widely circulated paper, the late state
ment in the Associated Press dispatch
to the effect that Mrs. James May-
brick, arrested for poisoning her hus
band in Liverpool, was a niece or in
any way related to our former chief,
Jefferson Davis. Mrs. -Maybrick, her
father and mother, and her antece
dent", are all known personally to
IXFOBMANT.
General Andrew Jackson.
N. Y. Correspondence of Memphis Appeal.
Just before the great speech was
made we had been at St. Paul’s church,
where Bishop Potter delivered a secu
lar address. This address will doubt
less attract criticism. The bishop is
widely known, much beloved by his
church, and much esteemed by all,
but his address will, I take it, bring
to him many critics, and much re
spectful dissent. It seems to me the
bishop is impressed with the dignitv
of the past, rather than the greatness
of the present. In this I may he mis
taken, but in his criticism of “Jeffer
sonian simplicity,” as only another
name for “Jacksonian vulgarity,” he
sent a poisoned arrow into the hearts
of all who believe in the genuine
greatness of those two great idols of
old-fashioned Democracy. The bish
op’s friends seem to be at a loss to
know what he meant, and thev should
have their say before the bishop " is
condemned. One thing may be said,
however, passing by the obsourit.y of
the expression ns to Jefferson, there is
no obscurity as to Jack son, and the
injustice done his fame on so memor
nble an occasion, given out from the
pulpit in a carefully prepared paper,
that will be read so generally, and
emanating from the brnin of the first
man in the church, whose influence
is felt among all English-speaking
people, it behooves the guardians of
the fame of him who sleeps at Her
mitage to promptly put in a plea for
the dead hero. The term “Jacksonian
vulgarity” in the connection in whicli
ijt was used, carries along with it the
idea of a coarse man at the head of an
impure government. Was General
Jackson a coarse man? Was lie a
vulgar man? What right has any
living man to impute to him such a
character? That his public life was
pure and clean has never been ques
tioned; that his administration was
honest nobody doubts. As a man he
was the soul of honor; in social life he
was the pride and admiration of his
friends. In his domestic relations he
was absolutely faultless. In manners
and address he had but few equals.
He was one of the pioneers of the
West, and was. in some sense, in ad
vance of civilization, but he was un
doubtedly the fiuest specimen of a
backwoods gentleman the world ever
saw.
He was almost worshipped as a friend,
beloved as ft master, esteemed as a
citizen, and withal for many years a
most deveut Christian. That Bishop
Potter should, bn such an occasion,
cast such a stigma on a man so be
loved, so pure and clean in his public
life, is a marvel, as well as an irrepara
ble injury. Jackson’s deeds of hero
ism will be read through all the coming
centuries, (hough I speak not of them
but his life—his pure, clean public and
private hie He never told a vulgat
anecdote-brave and courageous to a
iault—he did none wrong without rep
aration, and was always the protector
and guardian of woman’s honor. That
his early life was excessively chivalric
is true, but that it was the unwritten
law of the times is also true; but he
should be judged by his maturity. Was
he progressive in his mental, moral
and religious life? That he was, in a
more eminent degree than any other
great American is a fact which no man
can dispute. Then, had not the pul
pit better be the guardian of his fame
>han to be its ignorant or careless crit
ic!
******
l'OTTER’S EXPLANATION.
Since the foregoing was written I
have seen the explanation made by
Bishop Potter and his friends. They
by no means telieve him. The bishop
was dealing with official and public
life; he was showing the degeneracy,
tram Washington'0adaiinistration; it
was a contrast between Washington’s
elevated patriotism and the “simplici
ty” of the Jefferson policy, which is
only “another name’’ for “Jacksonian
vulgarity;” there was no mistaking
these words—they have a common
meaning—“vulgarity” is an offensive
word; it is a strong word—it is .under
stood by the masses, refining can't
change it, no strained construction can
lessen or lighten the severity of this
most'extraordinary expression of the
great bishop of New York.
Secetary Blaine disapproves of f.ha
popular ways affected by the Secretary
of Agriculture with a view to tickle
the farmers. Secetary Bluin'* is
quoted as saying that Uncle Jere
Rusk’s mowing performance won “un
dignified,” and his riding a hor.-o in
the team which drev? the hay wagon
full of newspaper men at Nacirena
“indecorous’’—both being quite below
the dignity of any cabinet minister.
Since Secretory Blaine’s last trip
abroad be bas been a great stickier for
forms and ceremonies, and the uncon
ventional conduct of Uncle Jere is
like smoke to his eyes.
He never did think much of the
proposition to make the head of the
department of Agriculture a member
of the cabinet, and since he 1ms been
mortified oo ofteu by Uncle Jere, he
thinks less of it than ever. Uncle
Jere has always been a great Blaine
man, going ro far as to name a son
tor the Maine staler man, but be may
change his mind when he hears of
Secetary Blaine’s gross remarks about
him.
Wit and Wisdom.
Politeness is tho most efficient aid
in the world to strengthen a good
name or supply the want of one.
It is in love as it is in religion; the
man with a new goddess is ready to
offer u o the old idol as the first burnt
offering.
If we did but know how little some
enjoy the greatest tilings they possose,
there would uot be so much envy in
the world.
There is nothing in the world so
toilsome as the pursuit of fame; life
concludes before you have so much as
sketched your work.
Prejudice is the conjurer of imagi
nary wrongs—strangling truth, over
powering reason, making strong men
weak and weak men weaker.
It is not arrays the man who looks
the wisest that knows the most, but
most people don’t know this, so that
it will pay you to look just as wise as
you possibly can.
Really there is much to be thankful
for in this country that lias food for
abundance, enough of material com
forts, and, in the main, freedom from
pestilence and the horrors of war.
Not only should careless statements
regarding our neighbors be ignored,
but facts themselves should be often
subdued in the interests of right think
ing and fairness to out fellows.
Don’t think that a man is a genius
because he wears long hair. True
genius brings plenty of work to both
tonsorial and editorial shears, for the
much-quoted man can always afford
to go clipped.
A faithful and true friend is a liv-
iug treasure, inestimable in possession,
and deeply to be lamented wheu gone.
Nothiug is more common than to talk
of a friend; nothiug more difficult than
to find one; nothiug more rare than to
improve by one as wc ought.
I have never been in a hurry ; I
have always taken plenty of exercise;
I have always tried to bo cheerful,
and I have taken all the sleep that I
needed. These were the rules follow
ed by the late Rev. Jamts Freeman
Clark, and he outlived and outworked
most of those who began life with
him.
Irresolution is a worse vice than
rashness. He that shoots best may
sometimes miss the mark, but he that
shoots not at all can never hit it. Ir
resolution loosens nil the joints of a
State; like an ague, it shakes not this
nor that limb, but all the body is at
once in a fit. The irresolute man is
lifted from one place to another, so
hateheth nothing, but addles ail his
actions.
The Amenities.
The Arizona Kicker, in discussing
the amenities of life, says: “We have
been offered 525 in casli and a barrel
of wild plum vinegar to publish the
record of the man who runs the weekly
further down the street. While there
is no doubt in o.ur mind that he is a
bigamist, horse-thief, bain burner and
anarchist sympathizer, wc know what
belongs to decency and wc positively
refuse the bribe. There is too much
mud throwing among the editors of
the west, anyhow. They seem to
have forgotten what is due to their
position. If one of our doctors kills a
patient by some mistake, the rest are
always ready to swear him clear. If
one of the editorial fraternity makes a
trip, the rest are eager to pitch into
him. It shouldn’t be so. There
should be more of the fraternal spirit
—more of the pride of profession.
Therefore, while wc are perfectly ss t-
istied that the bald-headed, bow-legged,
squint-eyed old coyote who calls him
self the editor of the moribund dislirag
eleven doors below ought to be in
state prism) far life, we are not going
to forget what belongs; to the ameni
ties of editorial life.”
Up in Dalton, Gn., the white peo
ple have a peculiar way of treating
the poor oppressed and down trodden
negro. One of these unfortunate
wards of the nation, named Abraham
Lincoln Lowe, owns a little farm in
that neighborhood. Abe lias been
sick off nnd on all the spring,
and die absence of his industrious
habits was sadly telling nu the coming
crop. The poor nigger had a reputa
tion, however, to sustain him !u his
hour of need. HU white neighbors
seeing that he was about to lose bU
crop, clubbed in, went to his rescue,
Afld worked out his crop. That is a
North Georgia way of treating the
worthy brother ju hlagk, and Abe
evidently appreciates it pior.e than lie
would a perpetual stream of eyco.-
phantish tears and philosophic hab-
berdashery.
The Census of I890.
Rankers' Magazine.
The census of 1690 will reveal
many wonderful changes. The cen
tral line of population will be much
nearer the Mississippi river than it
was ten years ago. A series of maps
like those contained in the last census,
of gradations in color, to indicate the
changes in density of population,
wealth, health find other important
facts, will present a curious contrast
with the maps that we now have for
the census of 1880, or that of 1870.
Over 16,000,000 acres of land were
sold in the last fiscal year under the
operation of the homestead and tim
her culture law. More than 124,000,
000 of acres have been settled in the
last eight years, representing a larger
area than the States of Indiana, Illi
nois, Ohio and Michigan.
The greatest changes have been
made in the northwestern group of
States and territories, comprising Da
kntah, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wyo
ming and monUnn, where nearly 60,-
000,000 of acres have been settled in
the last eight years. In the South
western group, comprising Kansas,
Colorado, Missouri and New Mexico,
nearly 30,000.000 of acres have been
occupied. On the Pacific coast near
ly 19,000,000 of acres more have been
settled, and 13,000,000 of acres imjst
be added for the Southern States on
both sides of the Mississippi. Along
the Pacific roads 18,000,000 of acres
have been opened since the last cen
sus. In other words, the government
and Pacific railroad have opened for
settlement in the last fight years a
territory larger than the New Iin
gland, Middle States and South Caro
lina combined; larger than Germany
or France, and about twice as large
as Great Britain and Ireland.
Quite a Noted Negro.

day night, was P. S. P. Piuchbaclc,

Pinchback is a bright mulatto, and
his children show no signs of colored
blood in their veins. One of his
daughters married a white man in
New York, and one of his sons is pro
prietor of a large drug store which
was stoeked by his father with 530,-
000 worth of goods when it was open
ed. Pinchback was on his way from
Washington, and remained in the
city only a short time before leaving
on the Atlanta and West Point Rail
road for New Orleans. — Augusta
