The fanner seems naturally in clined to grasp too much, and in so doing loses much of what he al ready has; he is oyer-anxious to make, and thus spreads oyer too much land, and in so doing they have to pay tax on doable the amount of land and takes twice the time to break it, twice the time to spread the manure and twice the time to plant, and after all this extra time and expense, half the land would have produced as much. 1 have been afflicted with avarice myself, and spread over twice as mnch as I was able to pat in and cultivate properly, and when har vest came, as Solomon says, had to beg and have nothing. Hot only did I attempt too mnch m cultiva ting crops, bat in keepidg too mncb stock, through the false idea that nnmb6rs made more money. The desire for too mnch has ruin ed thousands who would at this time been well-to-do had they adopted the system of cultivating no more land than can be well manured and thoroughly cultiva ted. I have knotvn farmers in their blinded way of making, hire hands and spread oat over so mneb land that they conld not half culti vate it, and much of it, too, so poor that it would not make five bush els of corn to the acre, and then have ta sell of their scanty home supplies to pay off the hired hands, and thus go on from year to year until bankruptcy closed the deal. If ten acres of land can be made to yield as mnch as one hundred, merely by concentrating thereon the means of improvement and the care necessary for the cultivation of one hundred acres, the result must be profits of mipd, body and substance. Now only for a moment calculate the difference in labor in hauling the manure over one hundred acres and ten, and after that the spreading’of it about. Then comes ten times the plowing and sowing, Tjith ten times the quantity of seed, mowing or reaping and bind ing and raking and gathering one hundred acres, when all the pro duce might have been raised on ten acres. Last spring I put as mnch labor in preparing three aeres of com as I usually put on nine, and made sixteen barrels, or eighty bushels, to the acre. A handsome profit for my extra labor. One of my neighbors sowed twelve and a half bushels of pvheat on ten acres, in his nsnal slip-shod way. His land was very poor, mid after all his labor he reaped only twelve bushels of wheat, losing a half bushel in the operation. Being disgusted at his failures, he con cluded to try a different plan. He pat about the same labor and ma nure on five acres as he did on the ten before and made fifty bushels of better wheat, with the seasons about the same. Again another neighbor sowed to wheat thirteen acres of uniform soil; twelve acres were sowed in the usual way, well plowed,] har rowed level, and the wheat har- rowed in. The other acre was well broken and six tons of ma nure broadcasted in and thorough ly incorporated with the soil In doing this the soil was thoroughly pulverized. This acre yielded twenty-two and a half bushels; the twelve acres yielded only six bush els per acre. The grain on the one acre cost forty-five cents a bushel; on the twelve acres sixty- five cents a bushel. Yet with all this evidence in favor of high cul ture, we still spread our labors over broad acres. These are facts, not fancy sketches. The yield given above may seem a very small one, but from my observation, and facts gleaned from abroad, I doubt that half our farmers reap on an aver age ten bushels of wheat and thir ty bushels of com to the acre. Wtfhington Post. We have lately seen a .story going the rounds of the press to the” effect that Allen Pinkerton, the original Pinkerton detective, did his first work of that kind in a murder case in Philadelphia. We happen to know, however, that he did not The late Lather Dear born, for many years a state sena tor in Hlinois, once told the writer how Allen Pinkerton came to en gage in detective work. In 1850 Mr. Dearborn was sher iff of Wayne county, Illinois. His office was at Geneva, the county seat, and he had a deputy in El gin, one of the larger cities of the conniy. At that time an enor mous amount of counterfeit money was being circulated in and. about Chicago, and one day Alexander Mitchell, at that time the presi dent of the company whose money was being counterfeited, wrote to Sheriff Dearborn, saying that be believed the spurious money was being manufactured by a man who lived under an assumed name in Elgin. Sheriff Dearborn was aware that his Elgin deputy conld do nothing in the case because ev erybody knew him. At that time two brothers were running a little cooper shop in Dundee, a small town near Elgin. Mr. Dearborn had, in the coarse of his political canvass, become ac quainted with one of the brothers, and knew him to be a bright, shrewd sort of a fellow, so he went to Dundee and engaged him to work up the case. The young cooper sent a note to the suspect ed man saying that a friend had told him that he conld bny some “queer,” and that he wished to do so. The counterfeiter replied that if the cooper would meet him at a certain hour in the evening at certain corner with a stipulated sum of money .he would be sup plied witb a package containing the “goods” he required. The cooper was on hand with the mon ey, and when be had made the purchase he quietly drew a pistol and marched the counterf eiter off to the lock-np. The prisoner turned out to be old .Clegg, a tall, handsome schol arly old gentleman, with a patri archal beard and tbe most charm ing manners, but one of the most troublesome counterfeiters that ever flourished in this country. The young cooper was Allen Pin kerton. This was the beginning of his detective work. Soon after ward he went to Chicago and was placed on the detective force, and served there until he founded the private detective agency which still bears his name, and the im press of his peculiar genius. Reciprocity Rumors. | A. Down-East Justice’s Court. >tl»nU Jonrnsl- Tlie Political Sinimcrings. Mon»a Advertiser. A great deal of fun is continually I The “air is full” of reports of j being poked at ’Western - courts of, Next fall being the season for efforts by Secretary Blaine to j j^ce, which-are generally depict bring about arrangements for re- j ed 38 being held in a saloon or in ciprocal trade with some of thej the °P en air under a tree, while countries represented in the Pan-1 the i nd S e and i M y 816 f*#' imt American, congress. The most definite statement of these alleged negotiations which we have seen, is given by the staff correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, (Rep.) who writes that the project of Mr. Blaine is, in effect, “that the pres ident shall, by proclamation, de clare the ports of the .United States free to all the products of any independent country on the American hemisphere on'which no export duties are levied, so long as such nations admit free of all tax es breadstuffs, provisions, preserv ed meats, fish, vegetables, frnits, and in fact all articles of food, lumber, refined petroleum, and such other products of -he United States as may be agreed upon, -justice. erate, and invariably conduct tbe proceedings in defiance of law and justice. The reality of coarse is quite different, the Western courts, as a rule, being conducted pretty much the same as.our own. At sny rate, the East has no occasion to throw stones, if we are to believe the Lew iston, Maine, Journal’s account of a scene in a country court ruom in that State: The trial justice, a big, pompons official with a voice like a trom bone, took it upon himself to exam ine a witness, a little, withered old man, whose face was as red and wrinkled as a smoked herring. What is your name?” asked the The public debt that the French government has been piling up since tbe war would be crushing to most nations, yet the people ap pear to bear np underit with more or less resignation. Three years ago the public debt of France amounted to twelve hundred and forty millions of ponnds sterling —in our currency six thousand two hundred millions of dollars. The public debt of Russia, which is the next heaviest, was the same year bat about three thousand six hundred millions of dollars, while that of England was a little over three thousand five hundred mil lions of dollars. The expenditures of France have been increasing in the same proportion, while the rev enue receipts have relatively de creased. In 1876 the total ex penses were five hundred millions of dollars, but »n 1890 the ex penses of the year are put at sev en hundred millions of dollars and the revenue at six hundred mil lions of dollars, leaving a deficit of one hundred millions. provided, however, that this con cession shall apply only to mer chandise transported in vessels of the United Slates or of other American countries entering into the agreement Such is, in very nearly its exact terms, the sugges tion informally made to the ways and means committee, and likely to be put into writing within few days.” If the reciprocity is to be con fined to “independent countries’ this would exclude from its scope Canada, Cuba, and two or three others of the West India Islands —the very countries from which the largest trade could be expected nnder such an arrangement. The dependence of these countries up on Great Britain and Spain conld be no obstacle to reciprocity with them, or at best there is no appa rent obstacle that should prevent the offer to them. Great Britair, especially, would be as likely to consent to snch an arrangement for Canada as any republic repre sented in the congress would be to make one for itsalf. Bat tbe Can adians and Nova Scotians catch great deal of fish, and Canada has a number of important manufactu ring establishments, besides coal, iron ore, and large forests of val uable timber, the free admission of whose products would make them compete with the manufactures'of our northern states, the ores of Pennsylvania, Ohio, eta, the fish of'Now England, and the timber of onr western lake states; while the products of the “independent”- countries south of us would com pete with little elsg besides our southern products. Reciprocity with foreign coun tries may be a good and advanta geous arrangement, bat in the ne gotiation of it regard should be had to reciprocity between the se v eral sections of onr country in its benefits and sacrifices.

With a contemptuous snort the witness gave his name, and the questioning proceeded. “Where do you live?” “Wal, I swum!” ejaculated the man “Why,” he continued, i,ap pealing to the laughing listeners, “I’ve lived in the town all my life, an’ so’s he”—pointing to the- jus tice—“and to hear him go on yon would think—” “Silence!” thundered the irate magistrate. “Answer my questions, or I’ll fine you for contempt of court.” Alarmed by the threat, the wit ness named his place of residence, and the examination went on. “What is your occupation?” “Huh?” “What do you do for a living?” “Oh, git out, ’squire! Just as if you don’t know that I ’tend gardens in the summer season and saw wood Winters!” “As a private citizen I do know it, but as the court I know nothing about you,” explained the justice. “Wal, squire,” remarked the puzzled witness, “if you know somethin’ outside the court-room an’ don’t know nothin’ in it, you’d better git oat and let somebody try this case that’s got boss sense. The advice may have been well meant, bnt it cost the witness ten dollars. In Zurich, Switzerland, the other day, one of the law courts closed a novel case. A beggar who opened the garden gate in front of a house where he intended to ask for re lief, was attacked by the watch-dog and bitten in tbe left arm. Soon afterward he commenced a suit against the owner of the place, calling for heavy damages on the ground that the woand he had re ceived rendered him permanently unable to earn a living. The de fense was that he could beg just as. well as ever, and that the injury in question so far from being a disadvantage, only increased bis chances in bis profession. But the court held that the proprietor of a house is responsible for the safety of people who come to visit him, even when the object of the visit is to make an appeal to his generosity.

For several years our farmers have diversified their products and have endeavored to curtail the expense of production. The result has been that our farmers have made more money, having freed themselves from the bondage of mortgages, and have attained independence. All efforts which the farmers of Georgia are making to better their condition shonldreceive the encour agement and hearty co-operation of all onr people, as upon the farm ers’ prosperity depends the pros perity of all classes.

Ap prehensions are springing np in various quarters that the former leaders in politics will be asked to listen to the views of those who have not hitherto specially figured in the political field. Changes are anticipated and new measures are looked for. The firm stand that is being taken by the alliancemen of Georgia is begetting inquiries among political aspirants thus far in advance of the ejection battle. Who will be the next governor, the next Senator, the next repre sentatives, are questions that are being asked qnietly in various forms. Politicians’ past records and present views on important and leading questions are being sought after that they may, if pos sible, bo definitely known before tbe time for action arrives. The grea’t battles fonght in onr legislative halls during the past few years between the working ele ments of the people and monopo lies have pair the masses to think ing and on the hunt for men as ex ecutives and law makers who have' the moral courage to stand np boldly, against every species of monopolistic tactics, in defense of the rights and . interests of the working people. Indeed there seems to be a growing opinion among the work ing voters .of this country that men of sound views, of strong com mon sense, of practical judgment, of Unswerving integrity, and not political traders, are the men to whom should be entrusted the management and affairs of gov ernment. To snch men the people are looking for equitable laws, and for the maintenance of their rights as citizens nnder the constitution as it is, and to snch men all people can confide the trost to be dele gated.

Every time this beam turns around it moves a fraction of an inch nearer to the knife, and a thin sheet of wood is shaved off with great smoothness and laid on the floor.' These sheets are in fact but the one hundred and twentieth of an inch in thickness, and indeed the veneers are frequently made as thin as 175 to the inch.

As the time draws near when the State of Georgia will again of fer for lease the Western & Atlan tic Railroad, it is interesting to note that the business of the road is showing a-marked increase over formbr years. We gather from a recent statement, if correct, that the reports for February show an increase ovpr the same time last year, and the receipts for were the largest for any February during the past five years. This is very gratifying news when we have been told that the State will have to offer a depreciated property to .bidders, and that the lease will probably go begging. TheAdairs- ville Ledger, published on the line of the road, in some recent com ments on its prosperous condition, says: “The Western & Atlantic is worth more per month than the last Legistnre fixed, and all the re ports to the contrary are lies pnt out by paid agentB of opposition lines, or men who wish, to make it appear that the road is not paying expenses, and get it for a song.” All of which goes to show that the State will offer to bidders a valuable, paying property and that the new lease will be in demand.
