Saturday, April 21. 1877. raise PROVISIONS. A foreign war is immineut, in fact almost a certainty. Russia and Turkey, it is more than probable will now find but one way to settle their differences —by a resort to arms. Other powers will certainly become entangled in the prospective conflict, and it is likely that France will be the only European pow er not involved. Turkey is eager for the strjggle, Austrian blood runs warm, and Russia’s metal is up while England is determined to have a fair show, and Hungary is waiting for an opportunity. No sooner will the strife fwhich will no doubt cost a million of lives' fairly begin than this country will be called upon to meet a heavy draft for supplies. Cotton, already at a trifling low price will, be a staple without a demand for it, and he who sees wisely will see that his provision crop is not neglected. Bread stuffs are already advancing in price in view of the impending struggle. It is not too late to lay your plans, and we advise all to read the timely circular of Com missioner Janes, aud take his judicious advice. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. The Sad Effect of Irregular Av enues—The Arlington Estate and the Counts.—Rewards of Merit—The Washington Monu ment —Etc., etc. Washington, D. C. April 16,1877. Editor Calhoun 7 lines : All the streets of Washington, as ev erybody knows, cross each other at right angles, running either north and south or east aod west, and this ar rangement is greatly to the benefit of strangers and carpet baggers, as well as of our own citizens. But the engineer ho planned the city was a Frechman, and after conceding this much of reg ularity to his idea of Republican sim plicity he threw across the city in re* memberance of his beloved Paris twen ty or thirty avenues running in all di rections known to the compass, and in tersecting each other and the streets in the m<3St confusing and absurd manner. The crookedness of Boston streets is nothing to the infinite variety of an" glcs created by our avenues. Hence the present and prospective woes of a discordant and broken Republican par ty. It is said that, Mr. Ilayes, who came here with his face fixed like a flint, due north, wandered away, on the morning after his arrival, from the kindly and disinterested care of Sena tor (now Secretary) Sherman, and strolled about the city. He thought he was going on all right, and stopped now and then to let his heart bleed as on the Bth of November, for some pass ing African who had got up early to rob his conservative neighbor’s hen roost, when he suddenly found himself ©n the'banks of the Potomac, his face due south. The change came without his knowing it. He had somehow got into one cf those perplexing avenues, had glided from that into another, and finally found him eif as above, with his back to all his old friends. Then he kicked the first African he met, took an old conservative citizen as a guide, and docs not now appear in public with out him. Ibis fable teaches that a Fraudulent President is not equal to a combinati n of angles. '1 here is a proposition to make to Spotted Tail some suitable recognition of his services itv bringing upon the reservations, a few days sinoo a large number--some 1500—ho3til Indians. As the achievement virtually ends an expensive and bioody war, some suita ble reward would seem to be proper.— The Kvotrug 3tur of this city, I be lieve, first suggested the idea. Rut they confine the practico to the treat, meat of Indians. There are hundreds of agitators in the n*jrth more danger ous to the peace and more destructive to the prosperity of the country, than all the Indians in the west. Let us send out meu to '-‘bring in” Phillips, and Garrison and Blaine, and old Ben Wade, and make the reward equal to the service. We cau well afford to set apart a portion of the public domain for these men, where, if they quarrel, they will afflict only themselves, and to remunerate liberally those who induce them to take up a residence on it. Pictures of the Washington monu mentshould hereafter havethatstructure on wheels. The Engineers have made another report, and this time decide that the present foundation is unsuffi cicnt, and if the monument is to be completed, it must be on higher ground There is a fine plateau east of the Cap itol, the highest ground of any extent in the city, which may be ultimately chosen. The heirs of Gen. Lee have entered suit in the courts for possession of the Arlington estate, to which the Govern ment acquired title during the war by tax sale. All similar suits against the Government have been successful, and there is do reason to doubt that this will be. What gives special interest to the case is the prominence of the for mer occupant and the fact that thou sands of Federal soldiers are buried in a beautiful “National Cemetery,” with in the estate no doubt suitable provis* ion will be made for their remaining the r e. The Duly oi Farmers in View oi the Impending Europe an War. State of Georgia, Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, April 17th, 1877. To the Farmers of Georgia : In view of the threatened war in the east— which seems now to be unavoida ble—it becomes us as prudent men, to avert, as far as possible, its disastrous effects upon our industries, by a wise forecast in our farm economy. The indications now are that there will be a protracted war, involving the leading powers of Europe, the necessary consequence of which will be a rapid advance in the price of all food sup plies. Even the “rumor of war” has al ready caused an appreciable advance in meats and breadstuff's, and a decline in our gieat staple—cotton. Unusually large shipments of provisions to the va rious European ports are already re ported, and must continue so a long as the war lasts. The foreign demand for cotton may be greatly reduced, and its price fall below even its present low figures. In view of these facts, the farmers of Georgia are urged to increase their areas in provision crops. It is not yet too late to increase the area in curn, even if it has to be done by reducing the area in cotton. Let farmers plant enough corn to insure an ample supply for the ensuing year. Let them plant crops for their hogs, and force them forward to secure, as nearly as possible, a supply of bacon for home consump tion. Let them plant liberally in Ger man millet and field peas to supplement their corn crop in feeding stock, in or der that more of their corn may be used for bread. If the war should be averted—of which there is, at present, little proba bility—wo will have lost nothing by the above policy ; if not, we will have provided against the possibility of loss or suffering. In either event, those ■ who adopt the above advice will have j nothing to regret, while those who do not, may be compelled to purchase pro* I visions at ruinously high prices, and pay for them with cotton at prices even below the cost of production. Very respectfully, Thomas P. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture. How Hayes’ Southern Policy Is Working. A Washington special to the Boston Herald (Radical) says : “The men here who are watching the political feeling in the North and hop ing for the sue lets of Hayes are not a particle scared by such appeals to the old South-hating spirit in the North as are contained in the recent speech of Wendell Phillips and the resolutions of the Methodist ministers at Lynn. They regard such manifestations in the North as quite likely to increase the kindly feeling toward Hayes in the South and perhaps induce some of the Southern Democrats to join him. It is certain that such things will help Hayes if anything will. The visit of Hampton has certainly helped Mr. Hayes’ pur pose in regard to the organization of the House. Those of the friends, who first thought his calling Hampton here a m.stake cow admit that it was a very • Ijvcr pol'tical achievement. Ilayes is brighter and shrewder than even the men who knew him best supposed him to be. It will not do to look for possi* ble Democratic defections in the South alone. This is a development of the past day or two, and it must be admit ted that although the ranks are still unbroken it is by no- means impossible that Hayes may secure the organization of the House.” If you are to marry a delicate, pale and sickly lady, make her take Dr. J H, McLean's Stiengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier; it v talizes and purifies the blood, strength ns and in vigorates. courses the rich blojd to the chock again. Dr. J. H. iVhLean, 314 Chestnut St., St, Louis, Mo. How Mrs. Hayes Looks. Mrs. Hayes is of medium height and squarely built. Her head and features are large. So is her waist, and her hands and feet arc in proportion. She has a magnificent suit of hair. It is so heavy and black, and is dressed so smoothly, that in the daytime it looks dark and precise in contrast with her clear olive complexion The most prominent feature of her face is the mouth, which is large (the jaw is as broad as a man’s) and conspicuously filled with strong white teeth. The lips are particularly firm and full, with the jaw indicating decision of charac ter aod an ardent temperament. The forehead is broad and smooth, and the eyebrows are regular. The eyes are large but deeply set, and are of that peculiar gray which does not mean a twilight depth of blue, or an azure light of gray. The are a decided gray, admitting of all the steel tints ftom that of cold metal to the gleam and glitter of the polished ore. In the glow of intense feeling such as anima ted her on Inauguration Day and at her first public reception, her eyes looked as black as night, and they had a luster such as is rarely seen. She made no effort to conceal her delight. guU’O'tisruuuts. FOR SALE The House and Lot where Mrs. R. R. Beck now lives is offered for sale. Apply to J . E.
