- ** TUEJtJS TO UK A COTTON-PLART-
IXO ARISTOCRACYt
Tbe small farmer— whownsto
tt* dimjatera of tbe Sooth, Bod
out Ui« but teatigo of the planting ang-
tocracy, betneen 'which ami the people
there wao always a lack of sympathy,
by keeping bis own awes under bfa o*n
supervision, and nsing hired labor oqly
aa a supplement to his own—is still held
to be the typiool cotton raiser.
But the observer who cares to look be
neath the surface will doteot signs of s
reverso current He will discover : that
there is beyond question a sue though
gradual rebunohing of dm small forma
Jntd large estates, ana a tendency toward
the re-establishment of a land-holding
oligarchy. Here and there through all
the Ootton States, and almost in every
wm^y* reappearing the planter
princes of the old time, still lords of
•oree, though not of slaves. There is in
Mississippi one planter who raises annn-
oily 12,000 balos of cotton on twelve
consolidated plantations, aggregating,
perhaps, 60,000 acres. The Oapehoart
estate, on Albemarle sound, originally
of several thousand acres, hod 662,000
worth of land added last year. In the
Mississippi valley, where, more than
anywhore else, is preserved tho diatiuct-
ive cotton plants t „u, this reabsorbing of
separate farms into one ownership is go
ing on rapidly. Mr. F. C. Morehoad,
au authority on these lauds, says that
not ono-tliird of them are owned by the
men who held them at the close of tho
war, and they aro passing, ono nfter tho
other, into the hands of tho commission
merchants. It is doubtfpl if there is a
neighborhood bi all the South in which
casual inquiry will not bring to tho
front from ten to a dozen mon who hnvo
added farm after farm to their posses
sions for tho past several years, and now
own from six to twenty places. It must
not be supposed that these forms are
bunched together and run after the old
plantation style. On the oontrary, they
ere cut into even smaller farms, and
rented to small croppers. The question
involved is not wliother or not the old
plantation methods will bo revived. It
is the mnoh more serious problem as to
whether the land divided forovor into
email farms shall be owned by the many
or by the few, whether we shall have in
the South a peasantry like that o
France, or a tenantry like thatof Ire-
land.—JSTcniy W. Grady, in Harper’,

A writer in the Portland ...
fives the description of
trouble e toed got himself into by not
taking care what be ate. Ho swallowed
a wasp, thinking; no doubt; *b*t it wag
ym f
when the wasp began pricking his inter
nal organa, aa a guilty conscience pricks
a sinner.
The toad stood on his hind legs and
reached frantically down his throat after
dial wasp' JWhng to dislodge it he
tamed : three somersaults in A manner
that would have rivaled the boss turn
bier in a circus.
Then he stood
“Woo ooduot W<k
pump or a qnio
Ho then mado several efforts to stand
on his head, but was unsuccessful. Next,
he bethought himself of the Greenback
dbetrine of inflation, and ’puffed out his
sides until he looked like a base boll bat
with legs to It Inflation didn't hit the
oaso, and was soon abandoned.
Again ho reached down his throat, but
his arm was too short to reach tho spot
where tho'tfasp was operating. -
His head bognn to swim, and he
whopped ovor on his back and clawed
the air liko oman overboard. Tho wasp
wns evidently unable to continue his in
fliction of punishment, and the ioaj
began to fool better.
Ho got upon his feet and with a fore
foot carefully examined his ribs upon
either side. Finding them all in place;
he stretched himself to his utmost height
two or three times to seo if his legs were
in working ordor, and then hopped a hop
or two to make assuranoo sure.
Being satisfied that he was all there;
ho gave a croak of relief and lumped
under the tomato vines.
