Job Work Neatly and Promptly Executed. The Legislature of West Virginia is still balloting for United States Senator. The resignations of Secretary Manning and Mr. Jordan are in the hands of the President. The city council of Atlanta, have passed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of agaric. Now if they will prohibit the sale of wine they will have done a great work for progres¬ sive Atlanta. The Atlanta fire Masters and Chief Joyner, have gone to Chica¬ go to give to the fire department of the Western City some few dots about the workings of the great fire department of Atlanta. One of the most sudden “flops’’ we have ever observed, was the one by which the Atlanta Constitution became a jlrotectionist upon the same day that it was a free-trader. Surely the pile of “boodle” must have been unusually large to influ¬ ence such an able journal. Their love for the South must be very little, and their gratitude still less. They are now, by advocating high tariff fostering a principle which lias long proved almost ruinous to t he very people to whom they owe their imps railed succss. A school teacher in Michigan, by the name of Rounds, has institu¬ ted kissing ns a new mode of pun¬ ishment upon those young ladies who do not observe the school reg¬ ulations, he of course, inflicting the punishment. If be is an ugly man we think the punishment would be effectual, otherwise we arc not so sure about its result. The trustees of the school decided, however, that this was not a proper mode of pun¬ ishment, and consequently “fired” Bounds trom the school house. Bounds says it was jealousy that prompted this action of the trus¬ tees. A great many people are uncon ciously doing themselves great in¬ justice by supporting institutions which are continually battling for high tariff. Every day the pock¬ ets of the groat masses of our com¬ mon people are sunk thousands of dollars by this unjust system of taxation The day will surely come when our people will sudden¬ ly awake to the realization of the true state of affairs, then may we expect the ericis, and hot times for the bloated congressmen and jour¬ nals in whose eyes, the filthy lucre is more to bo prized than the pros¬ perity and happiness of their coun¬ trymen. PITHY SAYINGS OF SAM JONES IN BOSTON. Fun is the next best thing to re¬ ligion. I despise these little two-wheeled Christians. God pity the man that has got a forked tongued wife. The hardest fellow 1 have to deal with is mv wife's husband. Where is the preacher who is not striving for a bigger church and bigger salary. A man isn't a sinner because is an infidel, but he is an because lie is a sinner. There is nothing on earth than selfishness and bell is but selfishness on fire. Heaven is just the other side where a man has done his level best through and through. It is mighty hard for a woman to be a Christian when her cook has got more religion than she has. I left my feelings at home, for 1 thought some fool in Boston might -w.it them if I brought them along. That fellow lying iu the drunk is abetter man iu the sitfbt of God than those fellows talking about him. David was a great sinner, but David was a magnificent repentcr. He beat any man of bis day uing, but be also beat them repent mg If elegant preaching could have inelegance, ought to be refreshing to you. We do not want a preacher who talks about heaven so far off, and tells you he does not think many Brother this world’s honor amounts to nothing, so soon it fades away. It is like the that falls in the river, makes a white spot for a moment, and then melts away. You folks in Boston could set up a brain factory anywhere, but have you religion enough to save your souls at the same time? They have been after me about grammar long enough to straighten me out, but I always try adapt my style to my congrega¬ tion. I never want to be in that party wants to get as near the gates hell as it can and yet keep an way into heaven. HELPING THE FARMERS. The farmers are gradually get¬ ting from Congress the attention to which they are entitled, The agri¬ interest of the country is far greater than any other, and yet it has received less attention from congress than any other. Con¬ gress and the State Legislature ap¬ pear to think that the farmers need no help. It is true that they are quite able to take care of them¬ selves, but there are many things that could be done which would assist them greatly. The bill which has just passed the senate., providing agricultural experimental stations, will result in great good to farmers. Each State and territory will get $15,000 a year to bo expended under the direction of its agricultural college in conducting experiments with reference to soils, plants, fruits, trees, stock, and in fact everything that is connected agriculture in its various branches. Comparatively few Southern farmers, for instance, know what kind of grasses are best suited to the climate and soils of their res pective localties, and a very large percentage of them is in doubt as the kind of fertilizers which will produce the best results. It can readily be seen that there is an immense and very useful field in which to use the money- provid¬ ed by this bill. The money now spent in supporting the Agricultur¬ al bureau doesn’t produce very val¬ uable results, because it isn’t uni¬ ted in the right direction. The aim of this experimental stations bill, however, is a good one, and if the right sort of men are selected to conduct the experiments the farmers will be furnished with in¬ formation which they can turn to good account.—Ex.
