A special says: "By J doing this Mr. Hoadlv wrecks his for- i tunc and deprives his children of a j heritage. .He is a disappointed man in politics, and now, in his old age, he gives away a fortune to pay for the thieving of a man he trusted and favored." The news from Chicago indicates that the great strike iu the packing establishments has been practically ended by the agreement of the workmen to return to the ten-hour system. Whatever may be said of the eighthour movement by its advocates, it is very plain that it cannot be enforced in one place while the ten-hour system is permitted elsewhere in rival establishments engaged in the same business. In this respect the Chicago noi^l-oi-c Jiqtta liorl thp nf flir* ai-irn. 1 ment from the beginning, and it is not remarkable that they have won. The statistics of passenger traffic on j the New York elevated railroads reveal how largely the life movement of the metropolis has come tt> be dependent on transportation facilities. For the ! year ending September 30 the total j number of passengers carried was j . 115,109,000, an iucrease of 54,277,000 i , compared with 18S0.

The ; | increasing' means of travel throughout; ; the country have been making fast the ! ] growth of New York. The city is ;, becoming more and more the metrop-; ] olis of the country.

The New York roughs belonging to ; 1 the Knights of Labor, who insulted i( the people of Richmond, arc thus de-: ^ scribed in a special to the Chicago 1 Tribune: 1 Last night a peep into Harris's un- j ( dertaking" shop, on the second floor of which eighteen white members of 49 < are lodged with their colored brother ; { Farrellj" revealed a sight of trne social k equality and enjoyment. 0::e young c colored girl was playing on a meio- I deon, while another, a member of the j choir of John Jaspers church, was ^ singing a hymn.

Tiie "situation," so far as it concerns the relations of the Republicans and the Prohibitionists seems to be simply thi>: The latter insist upon legislation prohibiting the sale of liquor and the enforcement of the law , when it shall be enacted. They want the Republicans to declare whether or not tliey agree with them 0:1 this subject. The Republicans are afraid to answer, and the Prohibitionists reply: j "Well, we will oppose you, even if our opposition shall benefit the I)emocratic party, unless you come to our doctrine." Therefore the Republicans : abuse the Prohibitionists, and point to their own sham record they have made 111 Maine as proof that they are friends : of temperance. The Prohibitionists : simply insist 011 fighting their fight and on bein?r 110 longer the victims of deceit and hypocrisy. At the meeting of the South Carolina Synod at Che raw last week the W'oodrow matter was thoroughly discussed and a resolution was offered by Dr. Girardeau and adopted by the | Synod calling upon Dr. Wood row to resign his position as professor in the . Seminary. The majority report of the i committee recommended that if the report should be adopted that he be I requested to ro. ign by telegram. Im- ; tnediateiv after its adoption a telegram ! was forwarded to him. Alter ;i few j hours7 consideration, uc amvcrcci mat i under the circumstances lie cuukl not j resign. After this message was re- i ceived a resoiuiion wa< passed by -the ! Synod to the effect that with the c-?n-, enrrence of the other Synods, the board of directors of ;he Seminary j request him to resign, and it' he fail !o I do so the bcurd declare the professor- i ship vacant. The Church is dealing with a brainy man, who is backed by : some of the ablest men of the Church, I consequently the result of the whole ; matter is awaitea wiin 110 mue liner-; est. The Augusta Chronicle remarks that the more small industries are established in a town the more money is saved at home. The more money a people save domestically the more prosperous their community becomes. With a ?e\v exceptions, we arc dependent upon East and West for everything we eat, wear and use. East and West benefit by our neglect ot home industries. This should be remedied. There is only one way lo correct such an outflow of money, and that is to make at home what we have been purchasing abroad. It will be a long time before we can be independent in all things. We may never reach that plane. But there are many wares now brought from other sections that we could manufacture right on the spot ^^2.

It would mean a prosperity that did not begin and end with a brief cotton season, but an all the year round profitable trade. Henry George, now a candidate for Mayor of New York, was born in Philadelphia, September 2, 1S39. An office boy at the age of fourteen, he wearied of running errands and dusting desks and soon left the mercantile business to go to sea, where the drudgery wa? even worse. After a brief typesetting experience in 1855 he again sought a sailor's berth, but two years Inter landed in San Francisco, where he married and became a journeyman printer. He passed through the varied experiences of reporter and editor, losing his position finally because of his radical anti-monopolistic views, but through the aid of friends founding the San Francisco Post, which he managed until 1875. In 1879 his strongest work, ''Progress and Poverty,was published, and the theories therein advanced, as well as the brilliancy of their advancement, brought his name at once into national fame. A Republican at heart he went with Greeley in 1872, and has since naturally remained where the shock of that battle left him. He has had a varied ex- j rxmence horn and abroad, all of which ! has been turned to account 111 the many books he has written. The Rain of Science. It is easy enough to raise a storm if one is so disposed. Indeed, some natures are so tempestuous as to render calm and sunshine very difficult to maintain for any length of time in their presence. There are domestic storm-kings, and storm-queens also, who are constantly disturbing the peaceful elements of home life. In who carry clouds and lightning .with them wherever they go. But all these atmospheric disturbers must yield to ex-Judse Woodbridgc . - ? i Strong, of New Brunswick, who proposes to raise rain-storms to order. ; Ihe judicial mind has been for some , time pondering over the injury done j by long-continued drought, and seeking for u remedv. Mr. Stronsr has at length reached the conclusion that tor- j ( rents of rain may be produced at will j . by concussion in the clouds, and he i 3 proposes to send kegs of dynamite or 1 nitro-glvcerine "up in a balloon" to be j ' exploded by means of electricity j ^ imong the clouds. This he claims j ; svill have the desired effect and pro- i ^ luce such a deluge that all the old j 'J adies within reach of the storm will j make . the venerable but wholly tin- t founded assertion that "it is raining J ;ats and dogs." Mr. Strong insists that if the Gov- c ?runient would take up his idea and c send up the balloons we might be in- * Impendent of almanacs, meteorological , >ureaus, charts and observers in the j autre and dismiss the Clerk of the ! iVeather as summarily us we should | vish. lie wishes the Government to ! li stablish "grass-saving stations," as d an accompaniment 10 me-saving sia- i tious, ail over the country. t li' Mr. Strong's idea proves practicable he will be entitled to credit as a = public benefactor. At the same time, ? ii is easy to sec that his proposition t may have its discouraging features, t Under the present character of Gov- t eminent appointments, notwithstand- j Inir the theoretical triumph of Civil t Service Reform, what guarantee is a there that the keepers of rain-produc- v in<r stations might not be "offensive 1 I partsans" who would bring down a deluge whenever the opposing politi- c cal party held campaign meetings such r as are now goin^ on in Maine? What.c certainty is there that they might not ; { be venal and corrupt officials, capable ; c nf .irrrentinw novrentftcrps from nm- : i " 1 o I- -o ? brella-makers and India-rubber pat- :1 entecs to keep the streets of a great. city like Xew York under perpetual j drenching showers? Despite these dangers, however, the j idea might be utilized even beyond its ^ originator s conception, wnat a grana ; thing il would be, for instance, for Chicago to be able to stop a conflagra-j tion or an Anarchist riot by opening j J the cx-Judge's sluices and bringing j down from the concussed clouds a; deluge of rain that would speedily i< quell the fury of the flames and dampen S1 the ardor of the dynamiters! The Inspection or Kcrfil'iers. | , In the course of a speech at Aiken, j Capt. I>. 11. Tillman made the follow- j ing statement: Prof. Joynes told me the South Car-! olina College had offered to make analyses of fertilizers for the Bureau . of Agriculture, at live dollars per;' brand or sample. j ] Subsequently, Mr. Ransom, the chief ! clerk of the Bureau, stated, in a letter 1 to tiie Augusta Chronicle, that "no :1 such proposition was ever made to the ' 1 Bureau by t e authorities of the Col- \ lege". Mr. Tillman says that Col. j! Butler, the Commissioner or Agncui-1? i ture, has twice asserted that "no such j proposition was ever made". Professor Joynes^ some weeks ago, j wrote to Commissioner Butler, to the !( efl'eet that he did not take the state- j1 raenl attributed to him bv C.-pt. Tillman. * In the Nexos and Courier of the 23rd inst., (Japt. Tillman makes a full ; statement, covering the testimony of ! several persons. First is the following 1 letter: # 1 Colu.^ia, September 23, 1S86. 1 Mr. B. R. Tillman?Dear Sir: On my return home after a considerable ! absence I have just seen your letter in ( the News and Courier of the 16th 111- I. stant, and Major Ransom's replv ! thereto. I regret to see that yon refer to our \ disagreement as a "question of veraci- j 1 ty." I had not so regarded it. I only j supposed that you had probably con- j founded information derived from , different sources. I now regret that; i I did not say this in my note lo Col I, Butler. I assure you I had 110 purpose : of reflecting upon your integrity or J good faith, and I much regret that I j have been unintentionally placed in j i this position. Yours, respectfully, TKi>WAur> S.

Tiilman next' a'uofes7roin an add re- s of President McBrvde before i the Legislature, on the 12th December,J, 1882, in which that gentleman stated that negotiations were then in j ro- , gre=;s, with a view to have the analyses , made in the College. Next follows a letter from President ( McBryde to Capt. Tillman, enclosing the following paper: In the fall of 1S82, soon after the j reorganization of the South Carolina College, the trustees cf the University appointed a committee of the faculty ( frv />AnfDr with tli* /?Ammiccmnop r\f I * agriculture a.s to the best means of ! securing co-operation in the work and 1 management of the bureau of agriculture. and the agricultural department j of the College. This committee consisted of DrsT Woodward and Burney, with Prof. McBrvde, (then chairman 1 of the of the faculty,) as chairman. 1 The committee waited upon the commissioner in November. In the coir- < ferencc that followed the subject of ' co-operation was informally discussed. The commissioner explained that dur- 5 ing the preceding years the analyses, &c., required by his bureau had "been ^ made in Charleston, and had averaged ' about 300 annually, lie thought it | probable, however, that the steadily 1 increasing demand for fertilizers in ( LiltJ OUIU*) LUiU, iiiau, iVl IICIC1 lUilliUiUUS of tood products, waters, &c., would J carry the number up to*400 or 500. The couimitlcc stated, in reply, thai ' the authorities of the College were j anxious to do everything in their { power to advance the agricultural 1 interests of the State and that, to this ciid, the College would undertake to c make the analyses, tests, &c., ordered 1 by the bureau. The professor of nat-11 ural history, (Dr. Woodrow,) re- I marked that he would cheerfully con- ? tinue to determine for the bureau, free of charge, unknown plants, minerals, ^ &c. The professor of agriculture, c (Dr. McBrydc,) offered to test 011 the c College farm, on the same terms, any varieties of seeds, plants, fertilizers, &c.,-sent to the bureau for trial or distribution, and to furnish the results of the experimental work carried on r bv his department for publication in } the annual reports of the commis- c sioner. As to the chemical determinations, the committee assured the com- a missioner that the only charge made c would be a sum sufficient to cover cost j r of chemicals and the salaries of the j chemists required for the work. They ' were of the opinion that the professor 1 of chemistry, with the aid of two or rJ three assistants, could make the j t analyses, &c., and that these assistants t could be cheaply furnished by the' College from the resident post-graduate r students of chemistry. They added I further, that should the estimate of a the commissioner prove correct and j the number of analyses reach 500, aj charge of about So for each would j = imount to $2,500. a sum possibly suf- j v 'icienc to meet all chanres, including a i v modest compensation to the professor ; ^ :>f chemistry for his additional labor, j Xo written record was made of the | _ proceeding's of the conference, or ofjh iny of ihe propositions discussed, and j c it was, of course, understood on botk ' -D sides that any action reached would ; lecessarily require the approval of the {c joard of trustees and board of agricul- i a .uit:.

M. MCBryde, Tames Woodrow, Wm. Burnet, j11 nninmittoo I h Capt. Tillman farther shows that in i]S lis message to the Legislature, of i In [ate 29th November, 1882, Governor 'It MA29I BnvaMHBSHKBaDHl lagood, in speaking of the Agricul- ; ural Scrip, said: Not only should the opportunity be ; five 11 to tbe rising'generatiou of farru:rs to acquire the scientific principles ; ipon which their calling is based, bnt ; he fanners themselves should have he benefit of the experiments and ! fictc ?

Xegotiaions are now in progress between the j state bureau of agriculture and the igricultural department of the College vhich wil:, if perfected, tend largely j o bring about this most desirable esnlt.

To this end the College j ,vili make the analyses, researches and | jractical tests required by the bureau )f agriculture, and the results will be liven to the public in the occasional bulletins 01 the commissioner 01 agn- i :uiture. It is but fair to Capt. Tillman, how- j jver much we dislike his peculiar nodes of procedure, to say ihat the ; evidence he thus adduces exonerates litn from anything like untruth, or sven indiscretion, in stating that the 1 College professors had offered to | uialvze fertilizers for about five dolars per brand.

L wish to call the attention of our oeoule to the frccdciu with which the statesmen and soldiers of the Confederacy are assailed by such epithets as "rebels," "insurgents," "conspirators," in the histories that have been published since the war, and which irn studied by the Southern youth of to-day. Ought these thing so to be? Justice to our statesmen and those who followed Lee and Jackson to an '-immortality of fame" requires that their descendants should be taught that the ;ause fur which they gave their ali, was constitutionally right. Though overpowered by the overwhelming numbers and resources of the North, yet we can and do exclaim?"All lost save honor!" In the language of llie eloquent Rev. J. Win. Jones, D. D., of Richmond, Va., "Let my tongue cleave to the roof of m> mouth, niV lips refuse to do their office, my right band forget her canning, when 1 fail on all proper occasions and in all proper ways to maintain that those who wprfi our leaders, our comrades in defense of the land that gave us birth, were not 'traitors' or'conspirators', but as true patriots, as noble heroes, as devoted ,defend"ers of constitutional freedom, as the world ever -aw, from Marathon and Thermopyl to Bunker Hill and Yorktown, to Manassas and Appomattox." Reading the "Illustrated Universal History," by Prof. Israel Smith Clare, has evoked these thoughts <J. t h o y will not "down at my fndding/1'' L1 have, in my poor way, given you the benefit of them?trusting that some abler pen will take up the pleasing task of setting our Confederate struggle right "before the bar of history."? [ have not forgotten Stephens's History Dr Davis's Rise and Fall of the Southern Confederacy, but I am under the impression that works of Northern historians are used in the public schools. Could you not reproduce in y our lolumns some of the sketches of Dr. J. Wm. Jones? They are full of instruction as well as thrillin<r interest i for those who love the Lost (Jause. We rejoice in the success of our farmer Senator in raising corn, and lope farmers of his prominence will follow his example. Then we will aear less about "hard times" and "no noney in farming." Crops generally are very poor in >ur community. Cotton opens slowly md l??htly. The weather is beautiful, jut rather dry for our farmers who ire wishing to sow grain.

WHY JFJ.RVISG DOES XOT PAY. Messrs. Editors: I have read with nuch interest the items recently pubished in your paper on farming; its I :vils and why it does not pay. It is hi evident fact that the present system >f fanning practiced by the majority >f farmers is a bad one. The case has >een properly diagnosed, but what the cmedy is, who can tell? Is Mr. B. 11. Dillraanthc family physician? It so, j ie has most certainly failed to give | he required dose. If you will allow I ne, I will prescribe a remedy which j think will be a sovereign panacea for ,11 the ills that attend farming-. Take industry and perseverance as aides, economy as a family watch-1 srord, and cultivate a cheerful spirit nth the knowledge that your reward ! or self-denial will basure. The prevailing evil with the farmer : ; Ihe planting of his almost entire ; rop in cotton. He does this with the j elief that if he fails to make a large 1 rop he cannot pay his indebtedness,; nd the result will be bankruptcy and j uin. This is one of the grandest mistakes ver made. Why is it the farmer is j impelled to raise cotton? The an-1 ever is indeed a simple one. Because j e raises nothing that is consumed on ; , is farm, it being cheaper to borrow j toney at a high rn'e of interest, and j ay his corn, bacon and flour in the !. orthwest, than it is to raise it at :: otne. Brother farmers, am I driving : , le nail too hard? Is lihis true or not? j' i ' i i H 'iM Tf flip furmpr would mntp hie farm ! self-sustaining (which every farmer Ti< can do) the cotton crop would be a secondary consideration, and what he did produce would be money in his pocket; having raised what he consumes at homes he lias no pressing need for money, and the result of such Lc farming would be prosperity, happiness and peace. ! In my belief the most efficient mode tfu of farming is the intensive and diver- Q]' fcllicu flails. ) iv/i i ustuun;, jjiutiL six acres in cotton, ten in corn, two in potatoes, two in peanuts (exclusive of e*t a goodly acreage in wheat and oats) pa to the one-horse farm, being a total of tweiity acres, which if properly ma- s% uared and cultivated will produce more than fifty acres cultivated in the ordinary way. Some -ay \vc will legislate on this question and in that way remedy the li, iiiiu men ?iu I^I^U supreme. This is the most hyperbolical expression I ever heard. If the farmers of ibis or any other country expect the General Assemblv to make i ,i . c Wli laws to govern the private aflairs or $(( individuals, they will be worse disap- ozi pointed than the superstitious were at the result of Wiggins'* prediction of the 29th ult. The old adage is, "There is more in the man than there is in the land". This is certainly true! If we do not help ourselves out of the mire whom can we look to for help? (>ui't you 1 answer ibis question, Urol her Blair? Le I will not attempt to discuss the P" merits and demerits of the Lien Law. s-^ It is a question of too mueh impor- : ] tai.ee and non-imi-ortance for an otdi- frs nary man lo solve.
