Who paid us promptly when we started the
Isi>Bi>KS4>aT nearly a year ago, we return
OUT thahkfl and hope that our paper in the
main has been conducted to their satisfac
tion. We didn’t expect at the kegining
to please every body, nordo we flutter our
helves now that we have done so, hut would
feel self condemned as a sycophant if we
had done so. Were we to pander to the
whims and caperiesof all, we would utterly
fail, and ought to fail to please any. But
we believed at the oonuuenoomcut, and
believe now that a bold vindication of right
und denunciation of wrong wna what the
people wanted and needed. Upon this
principle we launched onr bark and we
have never departed from that line through
fear of our enemies or affection for our
friends. And at the close of this volume
we hope to say we have hot departed from
first principles, and we will re-assure our
readers at the commencement of the sec
ond volume that we will stear in the same
■rhaunal, contending for right and battling
against wrong. If, in contending for cor
rect principles we make enemies we will
feel proud of having done a good work,
and all right thinking men will say well
•done, good and faithful servant, and this
approval we would rather have from one
honest, right thinking man than the good
will of a thousand hypocritical policy men,
whose friendship can only be gained by
the sacriflfco of principle.
One more nnmber will end the first vol
ume and with the best evidences we can
offer, of onr gratitude to those whose sub
scription began with the first mini her we
do confidently hope that they will be
promptly renewed. Every sensible man
knows that our expenses are heavy and
they must be promptly met. Cash we
have to pay for everything, and we cannot
do it unless onr patrons pay us promptly.
Come promptly with your two dollars and
commence with the first number. We
will have an interesting canvass this sum
mer, Congressmen, Senators and Repre
sentatives have to be elected this fall, and
we will havo a lively time; and we promise
you to be a faithful sentinel upon the po
litical watch towers. Agaiu we ask your
continued patronage.

Thr Crop*.
The beating rains of two weeks ago suc
ceeded by a few cold nights, gave to both
cotton and corn a drooping and sickly ap
pearance, but the later genial showers and
warm sunshine has restored the plants to
health and vigor and they are growing
beautiful. The oat crop, we learn will be
seriously injured by the rust. This will
create the necessity of heavy corn pur
chases.
Our Thunk*.
We are certainly not so ungrateful and
unappreciative as to forget or overlook
the beautiful selectiou and combination of
flowers sent us by our little friend. Had
we the power we would perpetuate their
beauties and stay the waste of their fra
grance.

the weary inarches through rain and
shine, cold and heat; and the croakers

The National Agricultural Cougroas.
A call hnH been made by General Jccknon, pres
ident, for the third RcHHion of the National Ag
ricultural OougroHH, which will be held at At-*
! lauta, (ia., on ftluy 18. The congress had its rise
| in 1871, by the consolidation of the “Agricul
tural Congress,” a purely southern institution,
j which the TennoHsoo Agricultural and Mechanic's
j Association. Under the auspices of these bodies,
| a meeting was held at Nashville, Tonn., at
I which eleven states were represented, and whore
the national agricultural congress was formed.
In 1872 j the meeting of tho congress was held at
St. Louis, where the Bt. Louis Agricultural ami
Mechanical Association was amalgamated with
it. Last yeur tho congress met at Indianapolis,
where, alter a very successful meeting, it ad
journed to meet at Atlanta, Ga., on May 13.
This gathering, representing every state in
j tin? Union, and every form of mrmers f organiza
tion, will be of immense importance “In view,”
says Jackson, in his call, “of the representation,
annual convocation of representative farmers
and scientific gentlemen, and especially since the
farmer mind is thoroughly aroused to the neces
sity of considering with the greatest deliberation
the mauy questions touching the industrial in
terests of the country, and has now become
ready for vigorous and effective action, there is
every reason to expect a full representation, and
1 therefore urge upon all the constituent bodies,
and especially tho Patrons of Husbandry, to he
j represented.
“It is especially requested that notification
shall be made of the appointment of delegates
to Charles W. Greene, Beerotary, Jacksonville,
111., ut as early date as practicable.”
Another Steamship Lost.
The steamship Tacna, from Valparaiso for Tan
de Azucar, sank at sea on the night of the 14th
ult. Without any perceptible cause, the vessel
evidently heeled at 4 a. m., while the passengers
ami many of the crew wort; asleep. The captain,
who was on deck, tried to ship, but his crew was
panic-strckon, and nothing could be done.
Tho order was then given to lower the boats.
The gig,in which the lady passengers were placed,
was swamped on being lowered, tne forward tackle
becoming jammed, and all, or nearly all on board,
perished. Two of the crew got into the port
dingy and made for the shore, despite the cries
for assistance of tho diowning occupants of the
g>£-
Captain Hyde and several of the officers re
mained on board until the vessel sank. They
then struck out, ami after being in the water for
some time, supporting themselves by clinging to
pieces of wreck, the saloon deck having been
blown off by an explosion, caused probably by tho
water rushing down the funnel, they were at
length picked up by the other boats. After re
maining on the scene of the disaster until all hope
of recovering any more of the passengers and
crew was lost, tho bofcts proceeded to Los Vilos.
The total number of persons who perished is
nineteen, all of whom might havo been saved had
it not been for the panic which seized upon a
portion of the crew and tho refusal of the two
men who got possession of the dingy to render
anv assistance to the occupants of the gig.
Mr. Henry Empson, purser of the Tacna, was
the only son of a wealthy curiosity dealer in Liv
erpool. As the vessel was about to sink he
jumped into the sea, and was seen no more.
Leonardo Jose Luis Fernandez, third officer,
who was lost, was tho sou of one of the firm of
Fernandez Brothers, brewers, of Wakefield. Eng
land.

William B. Washburn 151; Curtis 64; Dawes 2G;
Adams 15; Loring 4; Banks 4; Wendell Phillips 1;
Stephen U. Gifford 1; John G. Whittier 1.
William B. Washburn was bora in Winchendon.
Massachusetts, January 30,. 1820, and gradnatea
at Yale College in 1844. He has always been en
gaged in the manufacturing business; was a mem
ber of the State Senate in 1850, and of the Lower
House in 1854; was subsequently president of th£
Greenfield Bank, and was elected a Bepresenta
tive from Massachusetts to the Thirty-eighth
Congress, serving on tho committees on invalid
pensions, and roads and canals. He was re-elec
ted to the Thirty-ninth Congress, serving on the
committees on claims and revolutionary pensions.
He was a delegate to the Philadelphia “Loyal
ists’ Convention'” of 1866, and was re-elected to
the Fortieth Congress. He has since been twice
elected by the Republicans as Governor of the
Btate, wliich position he now holds.
Wiley Hurst, an enterprising negro of Mem
phis, has been carrying on a very successful stroke
of business for soirto years past,- and bis trade
grew upon him to such an extent that it has
proved his ruin. He had been so successful that
nc thought if he took in a partner it would be a
better thing for each than if he enjoyed it alone.
Ho he disclosed his plans to Wm. Hurst, a son of
his former master. His business was robbery
and murder. He had done a good deal of both,
and some of his contemplated jobs were decid
edly too heavy for one man to undertake. Ho
gave bis prospective partner an account of what
he had already done, and laid open his plans for
, the future, which involved half a dozen new mur-
I ders and much money to be made, and he figured
i out a safe business. Ho had been in the habit of
| clubbing his victims to death, and it will be re
membered the clubbing method has been quite
brink around Memphis. Wm. Hurst did not con
sider the business safe, and took counsel with the
police regarding it. They thought it best to ar
i rest Wiley Hurst, and bo, since bis imprison
( mrnt, has confessed to many robberies and mur
ders which have been mysteries.

to do jury sorvice. A decision was ren

Bertha Gerolt, daughter of tko late
Prussian Minister to the States,
who entered the Monastery in the District
of Columbia about three years ago, took
the final vows ou Saturday. The same
day a nun died within the convent walls
who had been immured there twenty-five
years, and belonged in the past to a re
spectable official family in Washington.
Within the same walls are a daughter of

There is an old darkey iu Maryland who
lately voted for local option, as he under
stood it, but not as thc|public generaly un
derstood it. The story (a true one) runs
thus: At a recent election a friend asked
the old man how he was going to vote.
"Oh, he replied, “the republican ticket.
I always vote that ticket.” “But how are
you going to vote ou local option?” The
darkey, looking up, asked, "What’s dut?’
"Why local option is putting down liquor, *
was the reply, “Lora a massey!” said the
darkey, "of course I vote for local option;
I votes to put down liquor to the old price,
tib-penny-bit a pint.”
During the progress of a trial in Judge
May’s court, in San Jose, one of the female
witnesses was asked this question by one of
the attorneys: “Did tlio defendant call his
wife ‘my dear,’ when ho met her?” This
took the witness by surprise, hut she ai -
swered him in a manner that showed she
was honest aud sincero in her belief.
“Did he call her ‘my dear?’ Of course not.
How could he when she is his wife?’

A greater amount of juvenile philosophy
wo never witnessed than yesterday occured
on Race street. A little urchin was abstract
edly wending his way with a pitcher of milk
from the corner grocery; of a sudden his
foot slipped arul iu an instant, the streets
"were flowing with milk and”—water.
The boy gathered himself up, still grasping
the handle of tl © shattered pitohor and con
templated the ruins in thoughtful silence.
Agent.oma , on m <eiating| lis misfortune
said. “Wuu, sonnyaiut you sorry?” To
which the boy slowly replied: “No, lain’t
sorry”—and, reflecting a second—-“I can't
say that I am glad either.”
If the last census is good authority, far
mers don’t make much money. There are
exceptions, however, iu the great west.
A lawyer bought 2,000 acres of land near

“I see,” said a young lady, "that sonic
