Haygood was, last Monday, elected bishop by the Methodist Conference at St. Louis. Richard Vaux, a solid low tariff demo crat lias been elected in Pennsylvania to j fill Randalls vacant seat in congress. | There is talk of extending the Talta hassee street railwav to Thoniasville. Why not? the scheme is feasible and would no doubt prove profitable. 4 Ov ►* Farmer Kolb seems to lie the corning democratic candidate for Governor of Alabama. Thus far he is ahead of every thing. The French arms in Soudan have just achieved a brilliant victory over the African King, Alnnadou, and at lust re ports were marching on his last capital. It is said that Russia is spoiling for a fight ami don’t care a sou vie who she fight's. That’s a good idea, if the Czar can get his subjects to fighting somebody else, probably they will give him a little rest. Carlisle did not resign his scat in Con gress until alter voting against McKin ley's tariff bill as a member of the House. He now resigns, is sworn in as a Senator and vetes agaimst it again. He is the only member of Congress who will have two whacks at it. Kemmler the New York wife murder - er, who was to have lieen executed May 2nd, by electricity, is still alive and kick ing against dying hv that “inhumane" method. We begin to suspect that it is »u t the method so much as the dying that Kenan er is kicking against. The Kentucky democrats have hon ored themselves and their State by elect ing Carlisle to fill the lamented Beck’s vacant seat in the U. S. Senate. Now if they will elect as good a democrat to to fill Carlisles vacant seat in the house they will honor “old Kaintuck” again. The Life of Jefferson Davis, by J. Win Jones, the fighting chaplain, is worthy a place in every Southern Library. We have just recieved a copy from the pub lishers. B. F. Johnso i – Co., of Rich mond, Va., und have found it so intense ly interesting that we missed the temper ance lecture Sunday night and like to have missed an issue of the Nf.ws. We are glad to note that the aspirants for office in Pulaski and other counties almost without exception, in announcing their candidacy, declare themselves sul - j-*c to theaction of the democratic nom inations, This is the proper spirit, every man has a right to aspire to official p >si tion and to announce his aspirations that lua friends may n t liecome committed to Rome other candidate, hut the wishes of the democratic majority should he re spected by ail good democrats. J. M. King, an old man, 63 years of age. a farmer of Houston county, was arrested and jailed last Monday, charged with the ruin of his 10 yenrold daughter. The charge is brought by his wife and it is suspected by some, that the old man is innocent, as lie claims to he. and the charges are trumped up to get rid of him. Such a crime is so repugnant to human nature and so unnatu al, that it strains credulity to believe it jiossible. Even the most ignorant and degraded of (lie negro race liaye with only a few isolated exceptions, kept above such an assault on nature. In presenting bis sub-treasury scheme to the Congressional committee, Col. Li\ iugstoii said that he did not claim it to be the best, but it was the best thing he could suggest for the relief of the far tilers. If the committee could suggest a better one he was willing to adopt it. This looks a great deal more like Col. Liv ingaton is in earnest about getting relief for the farm«rs than if he had stuck to his scheme bliudJv and clamored for it or nothing. We were never favorably im f„l.> avr-r wt li (ol.

K ° lo farrnin * and of co,,,8e are fa,lures | there too. Take the most successfu bus- I inessmen in all the vocations of life, all j over the county and a very large per cent of them were Lorn on the farm and would have made a success at farming or anything they undertook. The farm goes on yearly furnishing the world with her mightiest statesmen and most sue cessful business men, while the city fur nishes the major portion of the dead heats and bummers and that class of gentry of elegant leisure, who are too nice to work and too poor to live without it. Very correct is the Marion Free Press "lien it says that farming in itself, does not bring great fortunes, but it brings comfort and independence, and it brings too. a certain order of education. The criterion by which farming is generally judged is that of money making, the great curse of the age, and as compared with other pursuits, in this, farming is placed at a discount; but this is unfair to this divinely appointed call ug of ruan. There is something else in life besides money and money getting and in that great something lies the attraction main ly of the farm. The writer has been a farmer, and since then a lawyer and a journalist, but the farm and farm life is yet to him the great attraction of life. Those who have lived a life upon the farm and exchanged it for the hurrying restive, hard, unsatisfying life in a city. know best the reason why. Farming i does pay; it brings health, happiness and contentment. It brings long life; a us - ful life, a pleasant life and above all tends to the development of the highest order of manhood. An Atlanta young man promised to cowhide Rev. T. H. Leith, of S. C. who is conducting a revival in Atlanta a la mode Sam Jones if he does not apologise to a lady and her daughter, whom he in sulted. From the preacher’s invitation to the young man. to come on with his cowhide, we rather suspect that gallant young blood has bitten off more than he will he able to chew. Only about one man in several million will tamely sub mit t< a cowhiding. So it is a thing much easier promised than paid. And it is oftener promised by bullies than bv men of courage. Upon the other hand, however, if the revivalists be Correctly quoted in the fol lowing language ascribed to him: “I hear one of the ladies in this church and her daughter go to Trinity church where they can get better society. That lady mid her daughter are going to hell as tastas they can go, hand in hand with their society,” it seems that he is better fitted for the fistic ring than the pulpit, unless we are mistaken in our opinion as to the truely manly and exalted char acter that a pulpit orator should possess, aud what every gentleman’s conduct should be toward ladies. It seems that the fanning interest in the South, though not near so fl mrish ing as it should be. is still in a better edi dition than some other sections of tin Union. Out West, a Levenworth citizen proposes to wager any sum hetwee $10, 000 und $50,000 that within thirty days lie can walk from Levenworth to Junc tion City and never take his feet off ol mortgaged grouud. except when crossing a public road or railway and a Boston paper notes the sale of a 165 acre farm in Connecticut with a good building on ; t for $165.
