A November Dajr. *
A sun, a wind, a sky like March"
So bright, so keen, so clear an<l blue,
The broad, untroubled azure arch.
Vttlch not a cloud is Hailing through;
earth, a festive way,
though she woke from slumbering
entered on agbol iday
jmmF Might tempt one half to dream of
spring—
Except for trees whose glow la fled,
W Except for withered leaves and brown,
r That rU3tle underneath our tread
i And make woodland of the town.
| For, as I walked I turned to see
The vista of a cllmblug street.
With leaves o’erdrifted perfectly;
It was a forest road complete.
Above, the branches softly bent
And scattered still their brown and gold
The sunshine to the pathway lent
k The glamour of some tale of old.
To-morrow morn the rain may fall.
■V The clouds may gloom, the (lay be dull,
W w But I must still remember all
r That makes this day so beautiful.

OUR HOME AND FOREIGN
TRADE.
ItiscoiiMng to be genially recog
nized that the volume oi business tran
sacted throughout th e country lias, for
the past two months, been largely over
estimated. The vacation given them
selves by thousands of iron-workers and
the promise of abundant crops are re
sponsible for the error in calculation
and have since served to hoodwink the
public into a belief that a fair rapidity
in the distribffchm of merchandise sig
nifies also large invoices. The misap
prehension respecting the situation in
U/he iron trade has already been discuss
ed. Reports from leading jobbers of
clothing and dry goods at the principal
report sparing purchases, al
though the total of the piecemeal busi
ness will be larger tlAu was at first ex
pected. Even in sucTi absorptive com
munities as Kansas and Nebraska sta
ple goods, groceries, paint fbtlß and
boots and shoes have blbn very quiet
for a number of weeks. The far North
west, reaching into Dakota and Mon
tana, is experiencing a heavy trade as
compared with the region previously
mentioned, but fewer goods were sold
there during October than in Septem
ber, which was a surprise to the trade.
Boston boot and shoe manufacturers
have declared that an advance of not
less than 5 per cent, will be made in
their prices the coming sejison, due not
to an unusually heavy demand, but to
the peculiar situation observed in “the
statistical position’ outlie hide market.
Collections in the tfrtdle and New En

The grand jury in Xew York is so
firmly convinced ilnu sane persons are

it has addressed the following letter to
.Recorder Smythl At the inquest of
this grand jury upon matters relating
to the management of Ward’s island
lunatic asylum there has developed
strong evidence of a system so danger
gerous to the rights of citizens
we feel it our duty to recommend that!
a change in the laws may be made to
remedy the evil and prevent, as far as
possible’ the incarceration of sane per
sons in eitherpublicjor private asylums.
To this end we recommend that the al
leged lunatic, in all cases before com
mitment, shall be ex mined by three
physicions. each acting separately with
out the presence of the others, aud that
the examination shall be had btTore a*
judge and in the presence counsel for
the accused; that the physicians shall
be selected by the judge, in the same
manner that jurors are drawn from the
names of all reputable physicians who
may have been m active practice in
the state, county or city during a ]Bm
tod of five years* at least and tiiat a hh
jority verdict with the concurrence of
the judge, shall be necessary to a com
mitment, We find the sanitary arrang
ments very deficient, especially in the
use of baths, where healthy and diseas
ed persons are compelled’ to use the
same bath without change of water.
From the testimony before us, we
find that opportunity afforded to# pa
tients to communicate with the r friend
are too limited, if not altogether forbid

such changes be adopted as will

FURMAN’S FORMULA.
WHAT <IK. F. C. FURMAN HAS TO SAY
ABOUT FARMING.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist :
I vrite to thank you for the hand
some manner in which you have seen
fit to refer to myself in your editorial
headed “the Furman farm and theory.”
From the conclusion arrived at therein,
however, and reiterated in a subsequent
article entitled “Furman’s Formula,’’
that my system in the hands of others
would be likely to prove a failure, I
must beg to differ and under the cir
cumstances feel that perhaps it is dne
the public that I should assert that dif
ference, and give the reasons upon
thich it is based.
It is au old saying and one in which
ere is much philosophy and more
truth that “there is more in the man
than there is in the land,” and this saw
would seem to bear you out in your
conclusion.
Take two men with equal advantage
of soii, capital, and education and start
farming, and the one will grow
prosper while the other is sold
out Wthe sheriff and starves. This is
true of men in every calling in life, and
yet that it is so should be no disparage
ment upon any system or method that
properly pursued and carried out is a
certain load to success, as when trod
with caution and intelligence.
Even with a system the inevitable re
sult of which is perfect success if per
fectly applied, few arrive at that per
fection; but, nevertheless every at
tempt to reach perfection brings about
growth and development, and as a cer
tain resultant, au amount either great
er or less of improvement in methods
and results.
It may be that not many of the far
mers who read Mr. David Dickson’s
hook and adopted his system referred
to by you, were as successful as Mr.
Dickson; but the fact is uncontrovert
ed that the system of cultivation advo
cated and introduced by Mr. ®>ickson
has been adopted bjr intelli
gent farmers throughout the South, and
has constituted an important factor in
what little development we have had
in our agricultural interests. The sys
tem which I have adored and advo
cate (for with me it longer a
ry) is one I am satisfied wilflß
no distantly prove the salvation of
the"agriculturists of this country. With
our old slipshod methods, and unsatis
factory results, farming has fallen into
disrepute. An impression prevails.and
justly too, that with the prevailing svm|
tem is no money to be made ini
this coWi-y- at farming, and we have
had no example as yet with us of a sec
ond Cincinnatus, so that no inducement
is held out to the brains of the country
to draw them toward the soil as a prob
able source from whence wealtlPor hon
oware If be derived.
my system properly applied, re
rarns and remunerative ones
sured, and surely the fact that all wffo
follow in my footsteps not equal
my results, should be n*ground for dis
couragement and the prediction that
my system in the hands of others will
prove a failure.
Once let that system be understood
(and it is simplicity itself, for all that
it does is to follow nature,) and its ap
plication will, I predict, be general,
and generally successful. In proof of
this assertidll will say that my negro
tenants are wop ting it with marked
success, and are now as much interest
ed in compost and chemicals mi I am
myself. Three years ago I could not
keep tlfcn from selling their cotton
seed. T^lay^fcninducement
make them them. I find them
quick to catch my ideas and eager to
apply them practically.
When our young men of talenlA%rn
j their attention, as they Moon will do, to
the true source of wealpl and happiness
which they have so long spurned un
| der their feet, a few decades will see
! the Georgia future what her cli
! mate and sgflrombined make her, the
garden spot of the world.
