Max Adeler vouches for the truth or the following : Slimmer really deserves pity) for it was certainly rough on him. IlIe was going up to Reading the other day, and when he reached the depot, he happenel to look into the ladies' room. A woman sat there with a lot of baggage and three children, and -wheui she saw Slimmer, she rushed at him, and before he could defend him self she flung her arms about his neck, nestled her head upon his breast and burst into tears. Slimmer was amazed, indignant, confounded : and -ero he conild find utterance for his feelings, 1 1 o exclaimed : "0, Henry I dear Hlenry I We are united at last. Are you well 7 Is Aunt Martha still :alive ? Haven't you Ion yod t. see .your own Louisa?" And she looked into Slimmer's face, and elung to him, -and smiled through her tears. "Madam," said lie, solemnly, -'if *lam the person alluded to as 'llen ry,'permit me to say that you have made a mistako. My namo is Lomu -el ; I have no Aunt Martha, and I don't own a solitary Louisa. Oblige me by letting go my coat. It excites remark. Then she hurried her bonnet deeper into his waistcout, and hogan to cry hardei than over, and said : "0, lHen. ry, how-how can you treat me so ? Ilow can you pretend that you are '1ot my husband I "Madam," screamed Stimmer, "if you do not cease sopping iy shirt bosom and remove your umbrella from my corn, I shall be obliged to call the police." "The children are here,P' she per. sistod. "They recognize their dear father. Do you not, children ?" . Yes, yes," they exclaimed, "It is pa-it is out dear pa." And they grappled Slimmer by the trouser's leg and hung to his coat tail. "WN\oiman !" he shrieked, "this is getting serious. Unhand me, I say' And he tried to disengage himself from her embrace, and all the brake muen, and the baggage master. and the newsboys stood around and said bis eiductyut m w infauouv. In tho midet of the struggle a stranger entered with a carpet-bng. Ile looked exactly like Slimmer and when he saw his wife in Slim. mer's arms he became excited, and he floored Slimmer with that carpet bag, and sat on him, and smote his nose, end caromed on his head, and asked him what he meant. Slimmer wns removed on a stretch. or, and the enemy went off in a cab le called next day to apologizo. Hit wife made a mistake because of Slim mor's likeness to him. And nov Slimmer wishes he may soon be kick ed in the face by a mule, so that It will resomblu no other human bein on earth.

Wednesday Morning, Deo. 10, 1873. a -IJ n The President's Message. The Piesident has delivered him- b self of a voluminous' message. Ile I begins by announciag that the past I year has been oventful. "A financial u crisis has occurred that lin brought il low fortunes of gigantic proportions ; v political partisanship has almost b ceased to exist, especially in the a agrecultural regions; and finally, the a, capture upon the high seas of a ves sel bearing our flag, has for a time t threatened the most serious conso. quences." He oongratulates the I American people upon the honors they t bore off from the Vienna Exposition, k but says nothing of the disgraceful c conduct of the Vienna C amissioners c appointed by him. le believes the o Coolie trade is being gradually sup- I pressed, and renews his recoininen- u dation to have a commission appoint- d ad to settle the Alabama claims. le believes the Cuban affairs have been amicably settled, and hopes that sla- l very will soou be abolished in that t last stronghold of barbarism. The f revenues are not increasing, and lie t recommends economy during the coming year. lie also recommends a t return to specie payments, without however showing the mode. lie re oormende a Nyaetm of postal savings banks. le recommends the admis sion of Colorado as a State. Finall) he recommends a general amnesty bill as the number of persons now disfranchised is small, and yet sufli. cient to keep up an irritation; and a further enforcement of the civil rights. These are the prominent points of the muesago. The message as regards length, is a success, but for strength and interest is iot much. Dryden onco said to Swift, "Ceousin Swift, whatever else you way be, you cannot be a poet." hatever else Grant may be, lie is not a statesman. Editorial Notes. The Senate, bass, by a vole of twen. ty-five to one, Iassed. a resolut ion rc fusing Mr. W.l. 1. MeCaw, (the formeem editor of the Carolinian, and now, correspondent of the News and CJour rior,) the privilege of attending its sessions. Mr. AMeCaw has beenm pour ing hot shot into thienm for some time, and this action of theirs is not unex peetedl. They love darkness rather than light, and cannot bear to have their deeds vontilated. Alr. McCaw's letters have been very fine, afording~ the only means possessed by outsiders of knowing the evil doings of the government. The action of the Sen ate may he explained in the words of the gentleman who calmly suffered a man to call him a thief and a liar, anid then knocked him (down when lie called hIm a Whig. "'I don't mn d a falsehood" said he, "It is the truth that hurts." Benator Sumner opened the present Session of Congress by introducing a bill to have mixed schools in the District of Columbia. It was indefi. netly posponed. This would make it apfear that the freedom shariokers of the North cannot bear the odor of the "friend and brothler" too near. Social equality is net relished in the North. Mixed schools have raised a hubbub in several northern cities : and many ways have already been found to avoid thme "amondmenmts."...--. Charity begins at home. Let the North exercise that Christian virtue itself. We are unwilling that the South should monopolize it all. lion. J. 8. Pike, of Maine, hate U.I S. Minister to llolland has published< a book entitled "Tfhe Prostiate 8tatn -Ilow Negro Government Rules ini South Carolina." The Tribune pro. nounees it a remarkably lino work, one of the best of itskhinid ever writ ton. Several letters were written to the Tribune by the author over the initials J. S.

The Cuban emubroglio promises to rove a faroe. It bad an air oif blue or from the first. The United States coopts the reparation offered oy pain. It Atrikes us however that ioncy is a poor conipensation for the ives of human beings. The crew of bo Virginus either were, or were ot, guilty. If guilty no compens-t iou is necessary. If not guilty they vore butchered in cold blood ; anid heir murder can be sartisfied unly coording to the canons of the old ,cvitical Lakw, "an eye for an eye, nd a tooth for a tooth." Spain does ot promise to punish the murdorers. he ierely agices to have them tried. Tothing is more easy than to have lurriell and his followers acquitted. f the United States has a price set pon the life of each of its citizens, ' would be interesting to kaow at !hat sum Moses and Parker and longlo and the rest of the crew of our raft are hold. A bargain might be truck with the general government Dr their removal to that land where [to wicked coaso from troubling. 'lIo government warred upon the Ku Elux for threatening to extiniguish beso lights of Radicalism, and for illing.two noted incendiaries, no epting no apology, showing no mor y. The Ku Klux were citizens of ur own government. These Spanisih Cu Klux, foiciguers and enemies, mahositatingly masbacre near a hurt. red citizens, and are nevertheless olitely permitted to wipe out their utrage by paying a few beekels, and y submitting to a farcical trial by heir Brother Kn Klux. The dif oronce is that Spain has a navy and he Ku Klux had none ; the former an injure Yankee shipping, the lat er could not. The United States hould adopt the banner of the Knight ['emplars reversed, blaok to its friends, hite to its enemies. The White louse has [roveon a Capus to Grant. Amendments to the Ooutitution. Soveral amendments to the consti ution of the United States have )con proposed by Mr. Sumner in the icnate. One provides for the clec ,ion of President by the dircot vote )f the people and the abolition of :ho Vice-Presidency. Another pro. poses that the President shall be elected for six ycars, and be ineligi. ble for a second term. Both these ,aondments are good. The evils of ii scond term have become too evi dent, especially of later yeari. So soon as an individual is elected for the first tormn, his whole c~lorts are dit aced to obtaining a accord term. rind patronage is lavished v. ith a ve to this rather than to a ftiness of the appointees. Remove the tempt Ition and the evil will be rcmcved. Pr es. dent Grant proposes another amend - nent, by w~hich theo Proesidenot many be permitted to veto a portion of an aet and and approve the rest. Th is also is a wiso measuro. Tfho only dIifliculty is that the old constitut ion wvill he soon so patched up with unendmeonts that it wiil not ho re ogniznblo. Add annotheir a mendmenut illowing women and Chinese to vote rnd the constitut ion will lie Terfect. The New Ohief Justice, P'residenit Grant has nomninted Attorney-Goneral W illiamis as Chief h lstice of the United States Sapr-eme jourt. Attorney-Goneral W'illiamus is from Oregon, and was the first eatinet flioer appointed from the Pacilio slopo I'hoe President might have found inany abler persons than Mr. WVil iamus to fill this responsible position. What are the motives for this ap pointment we cannot per ceive. It may bo that the admUii st ration has lately been so badly threshed cut by the armi-ors of Californiia and Oregon that t deems somto honor of this kind cessary to win these States back in ~ho fold. If Grant has shown origi. iaity ~i nothing else, lhe certainly ans evined~ originality in selecting isa subordinatts. Men in whomn'the ubili ave foundl nothing, are dis. ,overed by the Priesidoent to be capat. ide of filling the highest and gravest >ines.

Mr. ]Editer: 'The pireent condition of the far mners in tis Conty, as wvell in thne whole State, is one of thn nmost serious subject s thbat any thimnking main refleots uipon at tihe present time. I use tine word "serious," Mr. Editor because it mnore fitly expresses the actual status of thme pulanntinng interests of our eintire commnonwealthn. Under thne present systemn of free labor, and with a conrnlete subservienncy to affairs, had are destined before a reat while to give away altogether, ud reich a state of-squalid poverty, rom which there will be no possible 3oovery. Many causes have combin. ds.to-redu.e.the farmer to impecuui.. sity and involve him in pecuniary ifficultices. At the -name time the rmer himself has to a certain ex. ut bontributed to his own embar. kRBmonta. He inaugurated the now Eikof fartning by very many false ep and movements, and only at mnapted to romedy them when too to. The end of the war found ie farmers as a class thoroughly dis -ganiz d ; and the revolutionized 'aracter of labor almost.disqualifed etm fur the task of re-cut blishiug keir lost fortuaos. They set to work, ,vcrtheless, undaunted and unawed, id with an earnestness that was .roio. But alas I how fruitless their forts have proved. The greatest lun der, perhaps committed by our Lrmers at the inception of the new ra spoken of, was the attempt to con inue the cultivation of large areas rith a new and uncertain system of abor. Then followed in a few years be introduction of commercial for lizers to an almost unlimited ex. ant. Amongst other hardships im osed in experimenting with the ew system was the necesity of bor )wing money to meet the heavy ex entitures incidental to a large plan. Ition. In order to obtain the ioney, unsurious rates of interest ad to be paid and mortgage of land iven. Liens also upon orops were -quired-for advances of provisions ud fertilizers, and the farmer goner 1ly at the end of one planting sea >n realized only enough to liquida le the past year's indebtedness. rery frequently too he found himself undreds of dollars behind band. his condition of things has been rowing worse from year to year, un 11 now the farmer is dependent upon ie merchant and factor for his sry existence, and occupies little etter than a servile status. Ile has > purchase everything on credit, ad in the fall of the year it takes 11 be has made to pay his accounts, Dd he has no surplus remaining to ex. Dnd for the coming seasons. No 3urse left him but to apply again >r credit, and "run his face" for an ,her twelve months. Under such ircumstanoes, and with no change rom this state of semi-servility, no Lrmer can even hope to rise to inde endence. Hle will always be loaded own with debt, ard oppressed with arious troublesand annoynucei. The actor and merchant will continue to e his master, to whom alone he can sok to for support and sustenanco. s there no relief for our farmers? s there, no illumin-d pathway lead. rig out of the darkness and gloom 4hich seems to have settled dow. pon almost the entire agrioultur l ortion of our people ? In brief, is here no means of salvation within bo roach of those who "carn their roaid by the sweat of their brow." am not one of the ever-sanguine ort, Mr. E'litor, but 1 believe lbou. tly that there is an aflirmative an. wor to all the quaestions asked above, ot theoretically, but practically. )ur farmors can yet be independent, rd get their qwn prices for produe. ions, if' they 'will listen to reason and brow off' the yoke of "King Cotton." lercin lies the secret of all troubles, ubmitting quietly to the imperious ulo of an~ exapting m onarch. Thw/ 11ust miake usp thaeir mninds to leave ig ituntinig so much/ cotton, and devote aore times ande soil to thec culival ion Iof hre naecessa.ries of life. Another hange demanded by the peculiar haraocr of the times, is to divide up .arge plantations into small farmts, mtd ouxtivate small atens io prefer. mree to large ones. So long as the 3,ut hern planter makes almost an cx. ilusive crop of cotton, just so long nil the great staple be a plaything mn the bands of northern and Euro. ea speculators, while the producer viil have to pay for the fun. The restorn farmer fixes the prics for vlhat he raises and generally gets it, vhtile his Southern brother allows his tavalua ble productions to slip through tn fingers at a mere nomiinal figure. [ appeal, then, to the farmers of Fair leld County, to consider seriously vhtat I have so imperfectly set forth. P'he suggestions made are certainly ational, and are not new to them. 'aet them make the experiment at east once, and If it is not prod uctie if great goodl, then, I too, will be -eady to fall down before the throne if "King Cotton." Lest them make >nc moore effort to reliove their unforu unate condition in the way and by he means suggested, arid may word for t, sunshine will rule where darkness tow holds full sway. FAIRFIELD. Luck and Labor. This is what Mr. Cobdon, the Eng.. ish wrjter, says about luok add Ia bor: Luck Is everything waiting for omnthing to turn tip. Labor, with keen eyes and strong vill, will turn up something. Luck lies in bed, and wishes the >ostman would bring him news of a egrcy. Labert turns out at six o'clock, and vith busy pen and ringing hammer, ays the foundation of competence. Luck whine.. Labor whistles. How Animals may bo btarvel. AIaoaIso and Maitroot experimented in feeding a sheep that weighn.d fifty.three pounds, on food that co n tained no nitrogen, such as sugar, etaroh, gum and water. The sheep lived twenty days and died with every appearance of starving. It weighed at that time thirty-one pounds, or twenty..two less thm when the experiment began. The Vital principle consiumed over a pound a day of the fat and tesh of the system, but it could no longer support life. Teiduinn and Gitiolin, tried similar experiments on geese with like results. A goose ied on sugar, that weighed six pounds one onoce,died in twenty-two days, weigh ing four pounds eigi t ouinoes. G um and starch as in corn and potatoe8, did no better- If fat, oil, starch, gum and all non-nitmogenrous food i6 valueless alone as animal food, albu. men, gluten, legumon, pure, are ver) little better. A goose fed on the whites of eggs (albumen) died in forty-six days fron starvation; having lost four pounds in weight. Ilence, if a farmer would obtain the best. result from feeding stock of any kind or even workingmen, lie must umix starch or its equivalent in sugar, oil or gum with such elemnent as aboutnd ia peas, oats, wheat, clover, corn, meat and cabbage. The oil in corn in burant in the bodies of man and boast to keep thoir blood warm. Taintor's Sentence. Taintor, the late cashier of the At. lantie Nation Ilauk, has at lat, like so many public offonders in thetoe times, come by his, deser:s. Our readers will remember that the cashier had, through speculatiou, lost four hundred thousand dollari, the property of the batnk. After an it . partial trial Tainator has been found guilty, and sentencod to coven years' imprisonmeut in the Albany I'cuiteu. tiary. The sentence to some, will no doubt, seom severe; but J udgc Benedict, in pronouueiung Wentcll4;e, reminded the prisoner that but for the one mitigating eiroumstance in his case-viz: tempt:atiou to whicb be was exposed tiough the negli. gence of the Presideut and the di rectors-the punishment would have beoo more severe. It is gratifying, to see justice ad:in.tered in thi.i way. We hope that tine puniishmeLnot of Taintor will have a wholesome io. fluence on tihe men of his class. It will be well, too, if bana k pre.sJoits and directors take the hint so omt phatically thrown out by the Judy., and give more of their tine and atten tion to the duties attached to their re 4pective positions. Ii this case tie President and dir otors were g-.alty of gross neglect of duty.-N.
