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. Among the passengers on the Air Line train arriving at Atlanta Sun day night, was P. S. P. Piuchbaclc, a noted negro of Louisiana. His weath is estimated at 5500,000. Dur ing the reconstruction period he was elected Lieut. Governor of Louisiana, nnd afterwards acted ns governor. 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 News, 19th ult. Blood IXnmorH.
