tremor here. We have not encount¬

to the fact. But one gentleman, on

A woman in Nebraska, who put

expects to be acquitted on the ground

court as an orphan.
The most indifferent class ef
ple in regard to tbe legislation ot
the South is the great, big body of
famers, the very men who have most
interest in the matter. Even the wo¬
man out West take more interest ir.
the local legislation than the major¬
ity of our farmers. The future wealth
aud prosperity of this country de¬
pend upon the action of the fanners
who have got to help themselves

farmer has been badlv misused iu

CAUGHT ON THE FLY.
HY OWD.
The newspapers are teeming with
advice to farmers. Some of it is ex¬
ceedingly good; and most all that is
said is worth the time of reading.
We make no apology for writing
on this all-important subject. We
love the farm, was raised a farmer’s
boy, and our happiest moments were
when we hastened to turn the yield¬
ing soil, and toiling, sang with the
early birds. Under the present sys¬
tem we find many draw-backs tothe
farmer:
1. Laziness.
2. The credit system.
3. Homestead laws.
4. All cotton planting.
5. Unreliable labor.
6. An An injudicious undue appreciation use of guano. of
7. the
value of money.
These are not all, but sufficient to
give us subjects for several letters.
To take up tho last subject first, we
would impress upon the minds of our
farnurs the value of money. We
know a gentleman who began life
without a dime; wrote across his
pocket-book in early boyhood, “my
nickle* are He bigger than most charitable, mens’
dollars.” grew rich,
and nobly advised his young friends
tc learn to appreciate the value of
such a power.
There are a great many men in
this world in whose eyes dollars are
as large as cart-wheeis. Just such
men get independent, for they which have
learned an important lesson
has run Hit® a splendid postulate,—
“Take care of the cents and the dol¬
lars will take care of themselves.”
Ministers often in combatting the
evil of “the love of money,” run in¬
to the other extreme of teaching the
“happiness of poverty;” but such
talks only provoke smiles from the
pews, for they know that “the still
small voice” swells into the tones of
a Gabriel’s trumpet when it comes
with a double salary. W earn a long
way from teaching the “getting of
money” for money sake, but like
Lord Bacon would say, “Seek not
proud riches, but such as distribute thou may
get justly, use soberly,
cheerfully, and leave contentedly.— friarly
Yet have not abstractor com
tempt for them.”
If our young farmers would be in¬
dependent, we point you to the only
pathway—the pathway of “econo¬
my.” Not the “love of money” nor
the all-absorbed notion of accttmula
Spend ting riches, but tho “care of money.” We
less than you make. can
close with no better advice than the
briefly epitomized lines on the care¬
less handling of money:
‘^Monday I dabbled in stock oper¬
ations,
Tuesday, owned millions, by all cal¬
culations,
Wednesday, my Fifth Avenue pal

REDUCING THE FORCE.
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD TO BE RUN
WITH LESS MEN AFTER MARCH 1.
The Cential road employes were
nervous yesterday over the news
that fifty workmen had been notified
that their services will not be requir
ed after March 1. The notices were
given to tbe men on Friday. Those
who havo to go are in the paint,
carpenter, machine and blacksmith
shops. Some of the men discharged
have been in the company’s employ
for a long while, and one at least
thirty-three years Tbe list includes
skilled men as well as ordinary work¬
men.
The report was circulated around
the shops that the management has
decided to slice 10 per cent, off of
the salary list. That could be accom¬
plished either by making a 10 per
cent, reduction all around in salaries
or reducing the force, and tbe latter
policy was adotped. Several Jof the
discharged men have large families
dependent upoh them.
It is stated that in one of the de¬
partments there was some discussion
as to whether a $3 man or a $2.35
man shontd be discharged.
The latter’s salary did not amount
to quite 10 per cent, of the total sal
ary list in the department, and the
$3 man whose salary was more than
10 per cent, was cut off.
Gen. Alexander, President of the
road, and Mr. Belknap, the General
Superindent, were both out of the
city yesterday and could not he in¬
terviewed.—Savannah News.
