The Boston Traveller says
that “General Butler is known
to be a strong Grant ihian, and
in the event of the latter’s nom¬

Senator Hill, of Georgia, ad¬
dressed the senate at some
length, Saturday, May 10 , upon

The sugar and rice crops of
Louisiana sold last year for
more than $ 20 , 000 , 000 . They
were produced on less than one
fifth of the cultivated acreage
of the State. The sugar crop
this year promises fairly, and
the rice acreage is slightly in¬
creased. I
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The public debt statement
for the month of April shows
that good progress has been
made in the recent gigantic re¬
funding operations. Hie out¬
standing six per cent, bonds
have been reduced $143,362,
05(T since the March report.—
The five per cents exhibited a
slight diminution of $1,835,500;
in all $145,096,580. Against
this decrease there is an increase
of $403,963,700 in the four per
cent, bonds, and the new item
of four per cent, refunding cer¬
tificates adds $8,103,250 more,
a total offset of $107,067,950.
This leaves the net reduction in
the interest bearing, debt at
$38,028,600, and produces a
diminution of $4,405,730 in the
annual interest payments. The
debt upon which interest has
ceased since maturity displays
an increase of $57,756,950.
Going Back to Farms.
Just after the war, when in¬
flation prices painted pictures
of fortunes in all kinds of city
and town vocations—when
banking, insurant and. the a
genev business wealth' were without supposed
yield
and when it was believed that
fortunes could be made by <f mere- stock:
ly organkiag «ome sort
company, and putting the shares ,
on the Market—there was a 1
general flocking of young men:
from farms to cities and towns!
to get rich without labor. But
that delusion has ended in bit
terness and disappointment to
thousands all over the land, and
proved that the game of living!
by the Wits is one that very
few Can thrive at. We are be¬
ginning to realize that farming
poseaes one pre-eminent merit'
—it Will yield a living more,,
and that is more than Can be
said of maiiy city ptirstrits. It
is generally esteemed a plod¬
ding) untomantfe business; but
this is offset by its exemption
from tbe harassmeflts and trag¬
ic features that too often mark
the painful aud exhausted strug
gle for the maintenance ot cred¬
it and social position in City life.
It requires but a small capital
to go to farming. This offers
a simple solution of the liveli¬
hood problem to all who are
willing to work, and it is grati¬
fying to find that the fact is
beginning to be realized by ma¬
ny weary of prolonged idleness
in cities.—Dalton Citizen.,
