We nebber thought to do no harm, We nebber thought to try. We had to work so hard all day, Ob which we was not fond, play But den at twelve w.’d liab our A swinunering in de pond. At night before we went to rest, My brudder Sam would sing, An 1 would pat while Bob and Jess Went round and round de ring. We danced the double shuffle, den, We made de welkin trimble, 1 ring : when We made de kitchen We cut de pi'eon wing. Old massa he’d step in de door, Or 111 de window thrust His siltiery head, to see the show, {►nd laugh till lie’cl most bust. Old missus she was funny too. And laughed wid old Mass John, An often when da play was through. Would ax anudder soug. But datjgoop time is gone an fled, ’Twill ______ nebber come 110 more n ; For Brudder is done gone dead, He’s gone to de udder shore. My Brudder Sam was black as tar, His eyes war big and white ; He went wid massa to de war— He axed him if he might. An 1 remember well de hour Dat come for us to part like ; shower His parting words fell a Ob snow upon my heart. Brudder Sam I love you so, * » <‘My “fis thus I would begin. Old massa said 1 could not go, Auden I cried agin. We all did cry an cry and cry— ’Tis sad to part you know— I thought old missus sure would die, To see old massa go. But we’licome back, old massa said, We’ll come again some day led, ; An den dey left us, duty To wear de Nouthern gray. I watched em passing down de lane, Where many times we played— Dey nebber passed dat way agin, On de battle field dey stayed. One day dar came a letter back, Which missus quickly read ; She said the thing was gone to rack, An Brudder Sam was dead. At last de cruel war broke up— Dey hushed de battle roar ; But still dar’sbitter in my cup, F«r Brudder Sam’s no more. O’er liiils and plains, and on de shore, In sadness still I roam ; For Brudder Sam I see no more, He nebber does come home. His grave is on de Georgia plains— Oil, miles and miles from here, Dar falls de gentie sum miner rains, An flowers ar» blooming dere. Some day de Lord will say to me, Come up -come -up to home ; Come up and all my giory see., No more on earth you roam. Oi . den I’ll rise on snowy wings. Up to de distant sky ; An dar we’ll join once more an sing, My Brudder 8a in aud 1. WASHINGTON GOSSIP, Special Correspondence Democrat. Wasiiington, D. O.March 7,1884.— Tour correspondent after wading tor «*, through the M politics, concluded to take a little rest by looking in upon the Cinciunatus’s who occupy the room of the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Itepre sentatives, and learning what was being done for tlie millions of thrifty tillers of the soil and raisers of Berkshires, Ches ter whites, Durhams and Shorthorns. Before „ „ speaking ,. of { th n[ l ,r»Ann(i| nf . - the committee, it may be well to state that no nation of the globe has hereto fore taken so little interest in the pros perityof its agriculturist as has ours but to-day we are beginning to see tnat it is all important that this enterpris •nv Wealth prodacting an! industrious ’ when class are but i. ^» demand*.ig m u„,i,. ,rth P irnwn they insist that twenty-five out ot the fifty millions of the people and one half of the wealth of the Nation shall re bed, of congrecth. con Bideration that their numbers ana wealth entitles them to. Not alone are the agriculturists inter" ested r.- in what ,1 t alle t thpm directly ’ but cur whole people are interested - rectly ; for the interests of onehalf of our entire population cannot be infring ed without affecting the other half. It „ fact that it lias taken years to bring % clearly . , home . p to our our people, neople that tnat. while w we have increased in wealth, popula tiou *1 ’ importance, and grandeur as a Nation; while the t,. nf m ■ n f m ;i_ Mons of a war debt has been ;paia, the enormous sums required ha'*e not been Buff dug from our mines hewed from our forests or produced , 1 , from iha tae handiwork of man, but that all our wealth, our greatness and our glory are directly “»«“c traeeable to the _ag,Ll.».e. original, the first, the e And jnt in we toe have tux bad 01 men this fraiming Dow ratoblidied^la« laws for the people; men who are wealth wealth who never add one dollar to the of the UinAPran-] euable th a m imposeon the better theproduceianleiamc^eW to live at case on t e of the laborer s row Without making invideous distinct tions it^may be stated^that wmie our ^ CRAWFORD VILLE, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 14th, 1884. manufacturers, the minser'and others, the statistics show conclusively that be mestic agriculture exported to foreign countries during the year 1883 aggre gated $619,269, 449, while manufac tures, mining and all other industries exported only $184,943,183, or less than one-third and this has been the history of our country from its earliest days, An average of 80 per cent, of all expor tations were the products of domestic asmculture. ~ ’ When we realize the vast millions brought into the country through the labor of this great industrial class, we are surprised that only in the last tew years the attention of tlie Nation has leen properly directed to their wants and needs or any heed lias been paid to tiiei. ciies. The present Committee on Agriculture .seems to be fully imbued with the idea of the vastuesss ot mter ests entrusted to their care, and to be honestly working, not alone to elevate the agiMJiitunst, but exalt ins calling and do what it is possible to have done in the interest of this class that is tiie very essence and life of the 2s atlou. The Committee of Agriculture con¬ sists of sixteen members, viz, Hatch, of Missouri, chairman ; DibrelJ, of Ten¬ nessee; Beach, of Hew York; Wiuaus, of Michigan; Patton, of Pennsylvania; v\ ilson, of Iowa; Ochiltree, of Texas; Stephenson, of Wisconsin; Aiken, of South Carolina; Williams, of,Alabama; Green, of North Carolina; Weller, of Iowa; Cullen, of Illinois; White, of Minnesota; Harvey, of New Jersey, and Raymond, of Dakota. Col. W. H. Hatch, of Missiouri, the charmau, ha3 been a member 01 the committee for six years and lias devot¬ ed much of bis time to an earnesi, hon¬ est conscientious study of the wants of tlie agriculturist, and seems to have succeeded admiiably and to have the earnest support of his fellow-members on the committee. Of the legislation so far perfected by the committee it may be stated that tuey have prepared a uill providing for having the agricultural interests of the country represented in the Cabinet, by making the Bureau of Agriculture a Department of tlie Government, and its chief a counselor of tlie President. This bill is now on the "cullender and when reached will be pushed by every member of the committee with every prospect of its passage. They had per ■ fected and had passed in the House tlie measure known as the pleuro-ptreumon ia bill, for the extevpatinn of diseases of cattle, and it is evident that^t will pass the Senate. They iiave under consid¬ eration a bill for the extension of the signal service or weather bureau off the line of railroads to enable farmers to he warned of the approach of storms, frosts, &c., and which if it can be effeo livety perfected will be of incalculable benefit to the farmer. One for contin¬ uing the experimental farms for the ac¬ climation of foreign plants, fruits and grains ; tor continuing the experiments with artesian wells on our western nrairies, and for the reclamation of lbe arid wastes, and for providing water tor men and beast Lion. W. J. Green, of North Carolina, a member of the committee, has also introduced iu the House “ A hi 11 to mi courage the cultivation of fruits.” which has been referred to this commit ^eea lllH ,j e ciiairman. This bill pro vides “that it shall be lawful for any one to manufacture of apples, peaches, auts into brandy, free from any inter rial revenue Lax, or restrictions now ex isting. ” It does not propose to reduce the tax of grain spirits, but on fruits id a per ishable nature, and thus encourage the p r0 p a g a tion of fruits, the raiser being a t liberty in case of being unable to market his fruit to turn it into wine or Sw it away «?al j ovv ^ decay. It is stated that but #60,000,000 worth of fruit per by annum are now marketable, whereas tins bill the amount would be more than double, also that the amount of tax now ie a.IizecI on spirits manufactured f roln t ru its is only about $112,000 per annum or less than the cost of collec SKSSSS j n a p the States. Whatever is for tlie honor, glory and best interests of tlie agneuiturilts will receive the hearty endorsement of this committee, and af ter listening to hem to-day we almost f e ]t pke being a Granger. Jn view of the spirit evidenced by England, France and Germany, rela tive tr our beef and swine importations and the difficulties that are likely to grow out cftbo same, it may je state tnat tins committee is in pos ^gsion of evidence ,to show that the foot and mouth disease, about which England has raised a question exists to a great extent iu England, and that QIJ jy case 0 f jt g existence in Amer j C a is in the vicinity of Deering, Maine, from a lot of cattle imported from England, and that the cattle shipped from this country and found diseased, gent over iu the vessel that brought the diseased cattle here.
