To the careful observer and en thusiast for a higher and higher life ou the farm, there comes a thought true and forcible,—are we educating toward the farm or n way from it? We look at our pri mary schools, our high schools, nud do we not seethe tendency al most wholly agaiust the farm? There is a remarkable develope- meut and interest iu agricultural education in Europe, where it is common for agriculture to be taught in every grade, from the primary school through the col lege. What is the tendency iu this agricultural nation of ours? Too often, we fear, away from the farm. The common school recruits the nendemy, the college, the uni versity; but does it recruit the agricultural and mechanical col lege, or do what it ought to re cruit the ranks of good farmers? May we not hope the timo is near at hand when agriculture will be ANOTHER EXCURSION BY THE RIFLES Will Likely Co to Tybee-EIectlon to Fill Maj.

The conference was composed of all the leagues in the State until hist year, when they divided and the South Georgia Conference met for its first time in Americas. Tho attendance nt Americas was considered large, two hundred and fifteen delegates being present. A new constitution and new by laws were adopted. The chief change in them was that the president of the conference may he elected for morn than one term This was made so that the confer ence might show thoir anprecia- tion of Mr. Peabody’s services. He mis unanimously elected for the second term. The conference promised to furnish the now hov's dormitory at the Orphans Homo in Macon ; for this purpose $500 in cash with assurances for about $260 more were raised during the year. Tho league nt the First Methodist church of this place raised $121.60, the largest amount paid by any league in the conference. Miss Annie McDonald, matron of (lie Home, led the services Sun day afternoon. She said tho leagues and Home Mission socie ties of tho churches throughout the conference chose one of the orphans nnd provided its clothing after being furnished with the sizes nnd wants. At the close of her talk she stated that thore, were ninotceu chi id ron not pro vided for, and two morn expocted at tho Homo next day.

You will see about limv tilings goon hero from it, better Ilian I could write it, nud also prices of provisions on tlie market now. Compared to what they were in 1808-01), 1000,- '01, they are 100 per cent, cheaper, hut wages ale 100 per cent, less than then, too, so there is no re lief to tlie consumer really. Weather now is very mild and snow is thawing fust. Another month will see the river on tlie flow once more, and by June 1st. wo shall hear tlie steamboats’ w histles. You can well guess how welcome after eight months of monotonous ice. Olio gets so de pressed by Spring that, it takes nil tlie short four months’summer to recover and get rendy for the next winter. Though I do not grumble nt being here and enjoy tho hoaltli- giving air, tho uucxcolled gran deur of scenery and nature's arctic wonders in the skies, and all the mauy advantages of life here, tho pleasantnesslof tlie work and all else, yet I foel so stagnated in mind from Hie monotony and lonoly feeling enusod hy long nights anil days and ever glisten ing ice and snow, and being shut out from all civilizing inllucncns of quick mail and tho daily press that I feel half dead more of ton than not. Throe long years of it tho sure prospect of a fourth is enough and plenty, and if it he God’s will, I shall surely endeavor to get back to tho dear old south land next year in the fall, if it lie at all possible. I would Ira far more content in charge of country school with $200 or $800 a year, than here with $2000. New gold fields are being struck nenr here every duy almost and dozens are coming in from all parts daily to stake claims. Last Sunday it was Announced that a new strike had been made on a creek, fifty miles from hore, and there was u regular stampede to take, trom this iown ami every where, You see a man lias to stake in person, and then coino back to town to record tho fact before a Gold Commissioner and pay $15 down for a year’s right to mine. A claim in Canada is 250 hy 2(i00 feet. In Aluska it is 1870 by 000 feet. Iu Cunuda one has to record before 17 duys after staking. In Alaska one is allowed 00 days oil account of distances from claims to record office. Where tlie United has only about five or six places to record, Canada has an office at every field. Stak ing consists in putting n post at each corner of the claim. In Can- and a man x .n only takeonoclaim oil u creek, so ns to give evoryoim a chance. In AJaska a man can take the whole country if he likes. In Canadn a man must work (or have worked) his claim, and can not sell, and must record every year. Iu Alaska a man need not work bis ground at all till he wishes and enn sell to whom ho ploases.

Ho damned me out and his employer did likewise mid both told me to mind my own business and not theirs. I told Llieui that, tiiat was just what t was doing; but of course that was not aeon.
