According to an article in the last number of the Baltimore Maiiulac-. tur?r'sHecor?Z'Xhe eflttct of lbw prices for grain will be " to" turn Southward the tide of- emigration and capital" that has hitherto flowed in an enrich ing stream- to'the Weet and North west, and tho? increase largely the| demand for-Southern lands. The -- ^eabees that have contributed to the low prices of land in the Southern market are passing away, aod at the " ?ame, time the source' of the excep tional prosperity ol the Northwest is becoming enfeebled. Under the influence of new and better ideas the South is getting out of 'arr- cotton and no coru methods of the past. The Baltimore iSrm, referring to the sub ject bf the increased value of real estate in the South, says : The marvelous growth end increas ed: diversity of Southern manu actur i-.g'industries and the great.develop ment of our mineral resources will also have a good effect on' the ' price of real.estate.- The low rate of in terest, in the Eastern and Middie States is another favorable circutn . *stan^'^^B?rf??fie present collapee in ? ~'^? ,tha .-prices of the products cf the Ijrajrie regions will .perhaps do more tnwvanytinngth?t^Eas occurred lor a long time tc.turn Southward' the tide of immigration and capital " During twenty years "theprice of grain r and-provisions has been kept oj) to an abnormally high figure by reason of an artificial' demand both in Europe and h-re in the South, nevera! thousand millions of Southern money having gon# to help swell the profits "cf Northwestern farmers, every dollar of which served to ' bull' real estate there and to ' bear' real estate here at home. Now, however, partly because the South has ceased, in a measure, to consume Northwest un products, and partly because -European marketa are beginning to be supplied from other?elds, the bot tom is about to dropout of the North western boom, and money and capital en route thither have at last called a halt. Wheat, that has always here tofore been considered dirt cheap a. -from a doilar to a dollar and a quar ter, is now down to 77 cents at Chi cago, while provisions are al mc st correspondingly low." . Cotton; ir may be added, pays better, and, un like grain, is an article for which the European demand is constant and un failing... N.ow that the South under ? stands tb?-advantage of raising grain and various kinds of farm produce, in addition to undiminished output ot cotton, its agricultural prospects are decidedly preferable to those of the Northwest, whose -staple products have ab uncertain and insufficien* .;market. With cotton for a cash crop and plenty of home growth grain, the South is in a fair way for. becoming the most prosperous farming region of the country. With an increased demand for land other property will look lap, arid the . entire ; face of the South, it may be expected, will un dergo an agreeable change. Tbe French lolony in North Carolina. M.

Bill Nye : William Tell ran a hay ranche near Bergelen about five hon* dred and eighty years ago. Tell had lived in the mountains all his life, and shot chamois and chipmunks with a croess gan until he was a bad man to stir up. At that time Switzerland was ruu principally by alot of carpet, baggers from Austria, and Tell got down on them about the year 1307. It seems that Tell wanted the Govern, ment c nt. act to furnish hay at forty dollars a ton for the .< ear 1306, and Gassier, who was controlling the pat ronage of Switzerland, let the con tract to an Austrian who had a big lot of. condemned hay further up the gulchs One day Gessler put up bia plug hat on a telegraph pole, and is sued order 2S0, regular series, to the frffict thr.t every ?ni'czer pasping down th?- toll road should bow to it. Grssler happened to be in behind th? brush when Tell went by, and he noticed that Bill said: "Shoot the hit!" and did not salute it-so he told his men to gather Mr. Tell in the refrigerator. Geesler- told him that it" he would shoot a crab apple from the head of bi* only 8'<n, at two hundred yards, with a cross gun. ho would give bim hie liberty. T?J1 con sented and knocked the ap"ple higher than Gilder v's kit9. Old ?Gessler, however, noltce t another arrow 3tick ing in William? girdle, and asked him whit kind of a flowery breek that was. Tell told him that if he had killed the kid instead ol busting the apple he intended to drill a hole through the stomach of Mr. Gessler. Tnis made Gessler mad again, and he ?ooh Tell on a pic nie up the river in irons. Tell jumped efl* when begot a gocd chance, and cut aoroes a bend in the river, and when the pic nie party came down he shot Geeeler deader than a mackerel. This opened the ball for freedom and weakened the Austrian government so much that in the following November they elected Tell to fill the long term and a halfbreed for the short term. Aftei that Tell was recognized by the rul ing power, and he could get most any contract that he wanted to. He got tl e service on the stsge line up into the Alps increased to a daily and had the contracts in the name of his son Albert. The appropriation was increased $150 OOO per year, and he had a good thing. Tell lived many years after thia, and wan loved by the Swiss people because he had freed tbc-ir laud. Whenever he felt lone some he would take bis cross gun and go out and kill a tyrant. Hs hud tyrant on toast almost every day till Switzerland was free, and the peas ants blessed him es their deliverer. When Tell got to- be an old man he would go out into the mountains and po-trophi/e them in these memora bk; words: "Ye crags and peaks,' I'm with you once again. I bold to you the hands I held to you on pre vious ocasione, to show you they are li?e. The tyrant's crust is busted, a to sp-v.k. His race is run and him sell bath scooted up the flume.
