I can not gather it up when cured

known to fame in both hemispheres, and
clothed with wit and humor £s with a
shining garment. I must give him a
name for my own convenience and will
call him Box.
The conversation turned on jugglers
and jugglery. A gentleman showed how
adroitly the Fakir of Siva had picked
the watch-pocket of President Mahan, of
Obcrliu, in his presence. Another told
■ of seeing a juggler fry a dozen eggs, in a
new* silk hat, without soiling the hat.
“Oh, yos,” said the waggish Box, “that
is easily done. I can do it myself. A
juggler taught me thc trick in Con stall-

Provoked guests of
g^d-natured badinage, from every part
ofthe room * Bnt lie persisted in thc
assertion of liis ability to “pcrfoim the

to afford him an opportunity to acquire
fresh laurels, by frying a dozen eggs, in
a silk liat, without soiling it.

moned and sent to the kitchen for the
cgg3. He soon reappeared with a large
glass dish, into which l?o had broken
thirteen fresh eggr,. Box counted the
yolks with great care, to make sure that
the “trick” should not fail, by reason of
a mistake in the number of the eggs.
He then remarked that it was essential
to a successful performance of the “trick’’
that the eggs should be fried in a new
silk hat SShau - cI ‘ V enou - h therc sctm '

had occasioned the use of other liuts for

For Farmers.
Macon Telegraph.
Tin’s pre-eminence of thc American
farmer exists in spite of the/act that he
bears other burdens than those which
naturally belong to him. lie is the
principal victim of an economic system
based ou discrimination. Thc discrimi
nation is always against him, and neces¬
sarily so. If “protection” is necessary
to a manufacturing business, it must be
because that business is an unprofitable
one, and thc bounties ta make it other¬
wise must be paid by meu engaged in au
industry which is naturally remunera¬
tive. Of all American industries, agri¬
culture seems almost the onlyofie strong
enough to stand alone, and thoso which
receive protection hang upon it like
leeches. But it has been bled too much;
the leeches have become too big and [vo¬
racious. Figures recently printed show
that almost the whole w oaith of the cnin
try has beer drained awny to the North¬
east. Tlie nine manufacturing Htales,
with about one-third of the population,
hold more than five-sixths of the public
debt, own an even larger proportion of
the railroads of the country, mortgages
on pel haps half the farms and city prop¬
erty of the West, and have 3,071,0*10 de¬
positors^ savings banks alone, against
22-1,000 in all the balance of the country.
Thc causers which have enabled nine
States to put flic rest of the country un¬
der mortgage, if they continue, will go
far to destroy the conditions which have
so far enabled American farmers to. defy
the competition of pauper labor. Tho
mortgage may change to a title, and in
time American peasants may cultivate
rented lands for the comfort of a rich
aristocracy and a bare existence for
themselves. It will not make those
peasants more content to remember that
the wealth of their landlords was extor¬
ted from themselves by an unjust law.
