You have a work to perform, and to do it well needs your whole efforts. No one can perform this work as successfully as the man true to the cause. With this idea in view, work with a will and suc¬ cess will crown your efforts.” * i * » The S uthport (N. C.) Leader says: “The cry of haste cannot be justly sus¬ tained aginst the fanner in thus organ¬ izing for his own protection. His steady allegiance to party, often in the face of unwise legislation against agricultural in¬ terests. is remarkable. The importance of passed the Farmers’ Alliance ccnnot be world lightlv fs over, and the political l’ft't seeing the \vis<Ptp of eateriug to it/’ As the season for State aud county fairs is close at hand, order it is urged wherever upon mem¬ bers of the to secure, pos¬ sible, aa “Alliance day,” and obtain a good Alliance speaker for the occasion. Through this means the doctrines and principles of the order can be placed be¬ fore many of the best farmers of the oountry that Alliance literature has been unable to reach .—National Economist. * * * t To those statesmen who fear that the plan will enable speculators hold secure possession this of products and Colo¬ for a rise, statement from the Workman (Pueblo) is referred: “Last fall and winter the farmers in Kausas sold their corn for nine cents a bushel or burned it for fue’, but most of the crop was turned over to the bankers to pay in¬ terest on mortgages. To day corn is worth fifty eents a bushel in Kansas. Overproduction is a great blessing to the farmers.” * * The resolutions adopted by nearly all recent State aonveutions recommend an increase in the volume of currency, but are silent as to the means of getting this additional currency out of the United States treasury among the people. There are but three methods at present: through national banks, national expenditures, or the purchase of national bonds. By w hich process is it proposed to distribute this much needed increase ? It might be well to consider this portion of the system, and in doing so. the sub-treasury plan is recom¬ mended for consideration .—National Economist. » * J. J. Rogers, superintendent for the States of North Carolina National and Virginia, writes as follows to the Econo¬ mist: “Colored Farmers’ National Al- iiauce of Virginia met in the city of Richmond on the 21st and 22d; 13 coun¬ ties, were represented. The meeting w as harmonious and enthusiastic for the St. Ixiuis demands. Colored Farmers' Na¬ tional Alliance of North Carolina met in the city of Raleigh on the 22d and 23d; 28 counties represented; demands perfect endorsed; harmony prevailed; St. Louis svib-treasury bill endorsed by strong reso¬ lution and support pledged by influence aud votes.” * * The Clod-Hopper (Kosciusko, Miss.) is a vigorous exponent of Alliance princi¬ ples. It says: “Trc corn and wheat States are united on the sub-treasury plan, because our beloved money power has worked it to so fine a point on them as to get two-thirds of their earniDgs. It is urged here that and we flour, would pay more for meat, corn but there is no greater fallacv. On that score it is just a question this wav, do you prefer to pav the producers of* these* articles a price regulated by supplv and demand, or do you prefer, as it no*w is, to pav an unjust tributc to the money powers of the coun- try after the food products are forced out of the bands of their producers ?

A Struggle witE a Sturgeon. Faithful Jim is the name of au old Si wash in the employ of Mr. W. II. Yianen. Jim looks after the t'sh-houso, cleans salmon, runs the delivery barrow, breaks ice, and performs numerous other little duties of an easy and pleasant nature. Faithful Jim, as his name ivould indicate, is a very trustworthy and honest Indian, and he takes really a wonderful delight in performing every one of his little duties with an exactness and care that would make the eyes of the strictest disciplin¬ arian glitter with pride and pleasure. The other morning a number of fat and hand¬ some sturgeon were lauded on the slip, apparently dead, and without the power of motion, and Mr. Yianen ordered Jim to carry them inside and clean them. Jim carried the first two inside and laid them down carefully beside the water hole, aiul be was just about to deposit the third, a fifty-pounder, when the fish, coming suddenly to life, slipped gave a through tremen¬ dous wriggle and ohno t Jim’s hands into the water hole. Faithful Jim took a strong hold and was about to drag it fjora the water, when the fish gave another jump, causing the Siwash to slip, and like a fla«h the fish and tho man shot through the hole iuto the river. Then there was a commotion in the depths that betokened that a gigantic loit¬ struggle was in full swing, and the erers who had seen the accident felt very anxious for Jim’s safety, for they knew he would never let go while life remained in his body. The terrible struggle lasted fully a minute, and .Jim's long shaggy hair earae to the surface, swirling and twisting and lashing the water into foam. Mr. Yianen seized the hair and drew Jim's head above water, and as he did so the Siwash gave vent to a Squam- whole ish war-whoop, which startled the neighborhood. “Me Faithful Jim,” he said, and sure enough when they drag¬ ged him out the fish was found locked in the strong embrace of his arms, and as peaceful a* a snail, after the long strug¬ gle. Then Faithful Jim seized a heavy club, and, after dancing a tired speties of Si¬ wash war dance over the sturgeon, belabored it until life was extinct.—[New Westminster (B. C.) Columbian. Iceland’s Hot Springs. As to the hot springs, those in Rcyk- jadal, though not the most magnificent, are perhaps the most curious among the numerous phenomena of this sort in Ice¬ land. On entering ascending the valley you dif¬ see columns of vapor from ferent parts of it. There is a number of apertv.es iu a sort of platform Fahrenheit, of rock. The water is at 212 degrees into the air. and it rises two or three feet A river flows thiough the valley in the the midst of which a jet of boiling raised water issues with violence from a rock but a few feet above the icy-cold water of the river. Not far from this place is the grotto, or cave of Surt, which is so large that no one has penetrated to its inner end. In forming these scenes na¬ ture seems to have deserted all her ordi¬ nary operations and to have worked only in combining the most terrific extremes which her powers can command. Nor is she yet silent. Atter the still lapse of ages the fire of the volcano bursts out among regions of eternal snow, and the impetuous thundering of the geysers con¬ tinues to disturb the stillnes of the sur¬ rounding solitude. — [Murray's Mag¬ azine. _ _ Buttermilk Drinkers. Buttermilk is becoming very popular will as a summer drink in this city, standard and soon be considered as one of the beverages of the hot season. “I have more calls for buttermilk than for tea aud coffee these warm days,"said E - Thornton, an uptown restaurateur yesterday. “The demand increases every } ear :nu * this season it is greater > before.
