FflOM ACROSS THE ATLANTIC* Editors Intelligencer : In my last letter I gave your readers an ac? count of the fashionable Frenchman. In this respect he is not a typical Frenchman. We have to go outside of Paris to the peasant to find the type that represents the virtues that have made this the first nation of the world. Devotees to amusement and pleasure from all parts of the world come to this city to satisfy their tastes. These are but the froth; that which is most solid lies deep down in the peasantry. I have been struck recently more forcibly with this fact, having in the last few days made two excursions in the country; the first to Chartres, an old cathedral town 55 miles southwest of Paris, the second to Fon tain bleau, where are situated the palace of the Kings of France', and the celebrated forest. ( The journey to Chartres was a most delightful trip?a pleasant morning i tan of two hours. Our route lay through a grain district, where the: crop is being harvested. It would have delighted the farmers of Ander? son county to have ucen such a harvest! Hero they would h?.ve found intensive farming in the true sense of the word. The waving wheat, high and thick, was a trembling mass of gold. The large shocks of that which had been .harvested literally covered the ground. Orchards, whose fruit was ripening; fieldn of turnips, whose green made an excellent complement to the yellow of the wheat; gardens, whose products were destined for the markets of Paris, Versailles, or C-icrtres; hamlets of farm houses, all white washed, and many thatched; herds of cows and sheep, grating in the fields; flowers growing about the doors of even the most humble cottages, showing that thrift and the love of the beautiful had their abode there; all these were passed in quick successiou. I had often wondered how this coun? try could produce enough to support its population. The whole of France contains an acre less than the State of Texas and has a population of thirty seven millions, nearly two-thirds that of the whole United States. Perhaps a still more striking example of the productiveness of the soil is to be found in Belgium, where the people to all intents and purposes are French. It is the most densely populated coun? try in the world, yet it produces more than enough grain for home consump? tion. I have thought a sketch of the French farmer might be of interest and profit to your readers. In the first place, he is very indus? trious; a lazy one is a phenomenon. He is economical, and does not try to keep up with the fashion. He has not time to imitate the rich; if he bad, he cannot afford, it. One who does not know the oustoms of the country would suppose that all Frenchmen dressed in the latest style. Nothing could be a greater mistake. The country people dress neat and clean, but plain, many of them wearing wood? en shoes. You would not hear of one of them buying a Western buggy on a credit to take pleasure drives in. ; They have their fetes where they enjoy themselves in true French style, bnt for the most part they walk to them. The French peasant makes all that it is possible for him to make at home. He produces more than he consumes, and consequently always has money. This makes it so that the wealth of France is better distributed than in any other country of the world. A bright illustration of this was seen after the late Franco-Prussian war, when the French government had to pay Prussia the sum of one billion dollars. The working people brought their gold and stood in line for hours where the bonds were sold in order to take them up. I have thought what a contrast there is between the small farmer here and in the South. Here he is prosperous and happy on a few acres. With us he scratches over 25 or 30 acres with one hortte! goes to town after his sup? plies, and by his manner of living makes others rich, and himself poor, blames the government for his poverty and is unhappy generally. The reme? dy for the Southern farmer lies at home, with him individually. With a virgin soil, naturally fertile, he ought to be the most prosperous in the world. , If the South were to raise half the cotton that it now does, I believe it would realize as much money for the crop as it does, on account of the sim? ple rule of supply and demand. This could very easily be raised on one fourth the land now cultivated. An? other fourth could be devoted to grain and other supplies for the farm. While the remaining half could be given over to grazing. I do not be? lieve it possible for the farming inter? est of the country to prosper unless a change is made alcng this line. The benefits from such a change would be many. Farmers would be masters of the situation. Instead of buying things that can be made at home, let them make them there. The South has made New England rich. By buy? ing manufactured goods it pays a large profit to the Northern manufacturer, if they are made in that section; or if they are imported the tax he pays on them goes very largely to the 966,000 pensioners in the North. All of this immense sum of $170,000,000 paid an? nually circulates in the North. The expenses along this line are not likely to diminish for a long time, for there are in addition to the pensioners al? ready on the list, 711,000 applicants either for pensions or increased pay! Neither political party has the courage to cub into this mass of corruption. If tie Southern farmer would become self-supporting, in every sense of the word, the burden would fall where it ought. The present method of living in the States has tended to foster corpora? tions and to heep up money in their hands. In a new and productive country like ours where the wealth ought to have increased proportionate? ly as we find it distributed here in France, for example, do you knew, reader, that eighty-one thousand, of our sixty-two million inhabitants, own live-eights of the property? Where everything a country pro? duces and consumes passes through the hands of middle men, trusts, and speculators, the profits are left there. In an issue of this journal of a few weeks since, was published a letter from Lord Macauly, in which the writer set forth some of the dangers that he thought threatened our Re? public. I believe the greatest danger that menaces our existence is this un? equal distribution of wealth, which our system of living has produced. In a country where the people live as they do here in France, such a state of things as exists with us, would be im? possible. I am convinced that some? thing like that I have pointed out is thb only permanent remedy. It will raise the farmer of the South on the plane where he belongs?where he will be the most prosperous in creation. With the methods of these French people, he can be more prosperous than they, because the resources of our country is greater per capita than they are here. Some of us had great hopes of the Farmers' Alliance. If it were to be? come thoroughly organized it could bring about this reform. This man or that man in office can never do it. Such an organization needs to have this one reform in view. I believe such an attempt would commend itself to the patriotic men of the South. I do not under value an enlightened interest in politics, but what is needed instead of the harrangues of demago? gues is an economic reform at home. I have written this in the hope of exciting some one to a deeper interest in this direction. My greatest desire is to see the people of our section in? dependent and prosperous. To them I owe my best wishes. To our fair Southland goes out my tenderest thoughts. Her streams murmor the purest songs, Her flowers exhale the sweetest per? fumes, Her fields are vested with the greatest interest, Her skies are filled with the softest light, of all streams, flowers, fields and skies; while her chivalrous men and graceful women are unequalled In the whole world. W. E. Breazealb. Paris, France, August, 13, 1894. A Romantic Story. A few days since Mrs. Elisha Ma? rion Alexander came to Athens on a mission of investigation. And now she rejoices in having found her husband whom she has be? lieved for many years to have been dead. Mrs. Alexander lives six miles from Atlanta, and her story is one of thrill? ing interest. Since the war Mr3. Alexander has resided at her present home six miles from the city. There she lived a quiet life, hearing little that went on i.he outside and devoting herself entirely to her domestic cares. Prior to the war she lived in a different sec? tion of the State, and just a few years preceeding the beginning of the con? flict she was happily married to Mr. Elisha Alexander. He went to the field with one of the bravest regiments that left Georgia, and made a fine record as a soldier. In one of the bloodiest battles of the war he was desperately wounded, cap? tured by the enemy and carried away to their hospital. There he developed lockjaw, and a few days later the news came home to his wife in Georgia that he was dead. This tragic news completely broke up the little home and shortly after? ward the exigencies of war compelled the young widow to leave her home and move to a different part of the State. The next few years of her life were hard and bitter ones. She mourned her husband as lost and tried to forget her sorrows in her daily work at home. A few days since Mrs. Alexander went to the Union depot to take a train for her home just outside Atlan? ta. The train had gone and she was forced to wait for another. But while waiting impatiently for the next train to leave she found joy and happiness that well paid her for the delay. She was talking to a lady who told her she was from Athens. During the conversation this lady found out that her name was Alexander. "Are you any kin to Elisha Alexan? der?" asked the Athens lady. With great emotion the lady told her that she was Elisha Alexander's wife, and that he had lost his life in the war. "Oh, no," said the Athens lady, "he is living and was in Athens a few months since." It did not take Mrs. Alexander long to get on the train and come to Ath? ens. She went to Ordinary Herrington's office a?d was informed that her hus? band lived in Newton County, about five miles from Covington, and had been living there for quite awhile. For years he had been looking for her, but had failed to get any trace of her at all. Mrs. Alexander at once took tkr i train for Covington, and yesterday there was a happy re-union in that Newton County home.?Athens {Ga.) Banner. ? Irving W. Larimorc, physical di? rector of Y. M. C.

Clark Traveled in the Same Boat Atlanta Constitution. Another coincidence?Judge Clark went from Savannah to Boston in a sailing vessel in 1834. So did I. His last chapter of reminisences was a rev? elation to me. Just to think how long we have known each other and oui journey to Boston was never mention ed. Yes, my father and mother an brother and I took passage in the good ship Nantucket, bound from Savannah to Boston in June, 1834, and were out at sea eighteen days, and at last ran into another vessel as we were nearing port in a dense fog. The Nantucket was badly disabled and her passengers and baggage had to be transferred the other vessel. I remember the awful alarm and how the mate picked me up and tossed me over into the arms of the sailors in the other ship Yes, I expect that Richard and I saw each other on Boston common under the shade of the big elm tree and did not know it. I reckon he was there the night of the 4th of July and saw the grand display of fireworks on the common, and so did I. He went school a short time at Lynn, while did the same at Shrewsbury. But he came back by sea while I came back by land. Yes, all the way from Bos ton, and never crossed a railroad, for there was not one to cross. My father bought a carriage and a pair of horses and a black pony, and we journeyed along leisurely for two months and stopped a day in Philadelphia and two days in Washington and another in Richmond and two or three days at the natural bridge in Virginia. My broth er and I took it time about riding the pony, and we had a good time all the way, for there was something new to be seen every day; There are not many people who can tell sixty years of yarns like the judge and I} and we love to tell them to willing listeners A good listener is a treasure to an old man, but they are scarce. Children are our main reliance now and it is compliment to hear the little chaps say "tell some more, grandpa." And there is another coincidence bunched up with Judge Clark's mem ories and mine. The very day I read his last sketch about what had hap pened in 1834,1 received a paper from a good lady in Florida, and it was da ted June 11, 1834. It was the States Rights Time and Advocate, edited by W. S. Rockwell, Milledgeville, Ga How many familiar and honored names are found in it. Judge Longstreet has a strong States' rights communication there. John Williams and John H Howard are candidates for the Legis lature. Oliver H. Prince and Gus Kenan and Iverson L. Harris and John B. Lamar are on a Fourth of July committee. Senator Graulland and Seaborn Jones figure in politics. William Law is Judge of the Savannah circuit, and William H. Stiles solici? tor-general. W. W. Holmes and Charles J. Jenkins of the Augusta circuit. W. H. Crawford and Daniel Chandler of the northern circuit Charles Dougherty and Turner H. Trippe of the western. L. Q. C. La mar and Ed. Y. Hill, of the Ocmulgee. Lott Warren and Stephen Miller of the southern. . Christopher Strong and Washington Poe of the Flint. Hiram Warner and Young I. Long of the Coweta. Grigsby Thomas and James Campbell, of the Chattahoo chee, and John W. Hooper and Wil Ham Ezzard of the Cherokee. What an array of notable men. James Ca mack, the first president of the Geor? gia railroad, has in this paper his cor? respondence with Lewis Cass, secreta? ry of war, asking for a civil engineer to be sent to survey and locate the Georgia road. Mr. Cass sent him Col. Long. Andrew Jackson was presi? dent, and I reckon had a senate just like ours, for the paper says: "A, ma? jority of the Senate are the most old womanish fellows in all the country. The president should drive them out of their chamber." John Bell was chosen speaker, hav? ing received 116 votes. James K. Polk 78, and Richard Henry Wilde, of Georgia, 11. James Madison is at the point of death. Andrew J. Hansel, attorney at law, of Gumming, Ga., has his card inserted. John.Choice, of Dahlonega, advertises his hotel at the sign of the golden ball. The Milledgeville lotte? ry, chartered by the Legislature, ad? vertises its next drawing in large type; "Monoy, Money! Lots of Money, Dame Fortune stands in merry mood Pouring her favors to the crowd, Be ready, friend, before the fall, Who knows but you may catch them all." Joaiah Whitney says: "I caution all persons from harboring my wife, Re? becca, as she has quit my bed and board without lawful provocation." I reckon the poor woman had a lot of unlawful provocation. Next comes the same old story: "Ten dollars reward for my negro boy, Jonathan, who has run away. He is sixteen years old, spare made, with a down look and a ring worm all over his face." Next comes the price current, with bacon 15c, cotton 9c, coffee 15c, flour $10 a barrel, iron 6c a pound, steel 20c, and whiskey 50c. a gallon. Then a news item, saying that the city of Washington had a population of 1,800, and was increasing. It is 230,000 now, and still on the increase. Clay Benton and Webster had a spat in the United States Senate about the removal of the deposits. This paper seems very old and use? less as an old bird's nest. Every per? son named in it is dead, but their deeds live after them. They made history and established principles and good manners and patriotism. Their influence is still felt, -and however much they differed in politics, they threw light upon government and the light still shines. Thi3 is a States' rights paper to the core. Its headlines are from the writ? ings of Thomas Jefferson, viz.: "To say that the federal government is the exclusive judge of the extent of the powers delegated to it stops nothing short of despotism. The States that formed the Constitution being sover? eign and independent have the un? questionable right to judge of its in? fraction, and a nullification by those oovercign States of unauthorized acts, is the rightful remedy." That's J^ffer?onian democracy. I remember well the loss of the Home in 1837, and how old Georgia mourned for the untimely death of Oliver H. Prince and his wife. Prince was a distinguished statesman, lawyer and orator, and wit. His son, of the same name, was the author of the "Billy Woodpile" letters that, for a while, exercised the visiblcs of all Georgia. Vanderzee, of Charleston, was saved from the wreck of the Home. -He was an old bachelor, a partner of Wiley Banks & Co., and the best salesman in the south. He was the pioneer drummer. In the spring and in the fall he stayed in Charleston and sold goods to their customers, for in that day every respectable merchant went to market twice a year and selected their goods. When the season was over, Vanderzee started out on his tour to see and cultivate his customers in their own towns. He was a fine talker, and I remember that one night he stayed at my father's house and told us about that wreck and how he was in the water on a chicken coop for seventeen hours, and at last swam two miles to thore, and when he told of the cries and struggles of the women and ohildren, my mother kept her handker? chief to her eyes and we children sob? bed with grief. Vanderzee had a pe? culiar habit of thumping flics from off his pants while he was earnestly talk? ing to you. If a fly happened to light on his knee his hand would slip cau? tiously forward, his middle finger cou chant, and as quick as thought he would send that fly to purgatory. But he never stopped talking a moment. The only sign that he knew what he was doing was a twitch of the right eye, when the thump was successful. When Vanderzee came to town the news soon spread around that the fly thumper had come. The first time I ever went to Charleston to buy goods, old Van selected them for me, both in kind and in quality. Our credit was abundantly good, but he would not let me purchase more than he thought I could sell. I respect his memory. As Judge Clark says, 1834 is a long time ago and it seems like we are now living in another world. Those long stage ride.', would kill us now, and those long car rides to New York be? fore sleepers were invented were just awful. Sitting up in a scat all night long with your head bumping around and your neck as limber as a greasy rag?the cars without easy springs? the roadbeds rough and the rails made of bar iron and laid on stringers, and it was click, click, click as the wheels rolled over every joint. Judge Clark knows all about the old hard times, and so do I, and afewmore, not many, It is a blessed privilege to have the memories ot sixty years in the world's history. I love to think about the changes, the iucomings from the time when there were no railroads nor tele? graphs nor telephones?no cooking stoves nor steel pens nor matches? when steel was 28c. a pound and now is $28 a ton; when the spinning wheel and the country loom gave us our clothing, and there were blacksmith shops and wagon shops at the cross? roads, and little gristmills on every stream, and strong arms hewed the sills and plates and corner posts for our houses. I remember the house where I was born, and the little shed room where I slept?a room without ceiling, and the patter of the rain on the roof was the sweetest music in the world. The good and.the bad has come mixed all these years, and smiles and tears, joys and sorrows have min? gled together and chastened us, refin? ed us and prepared us for a better life in a better la ad. Old Jacob said "few and evil have been the days of the years of my pilgrimage." Poor old fellow, he did have a hard time?work? ing fourteen years for the girl he lov? ed. Hated and pursued by his broth? er Esau, worried by bad children and nearly perished by famine, but at the last he died in peace. His last days were his best; days, and that is the greatest of all blessings. May your last days be your best days, is my prayer for those I love.

BUTTER AND CREESE, An Indaatry Which Moans Millions lo Georgia. Atlanta Constitution. Griffin, Ga., August 25.?The two men who have it in their power to do the greatest work of the year for Geor? gia are President R. J. Redding, of the Georgia Dairy Association, and Mr. H. J. Wing. If they succeed in making of Geor? gia an exporter of butter and cheese they will have accomplished a work of immense proportions. One firm in Atlanta alone imports during the season four carloads of cheese. This duplicated 100 times at least by other merchants throughout the State shows the outgo for the single article of cheese, while the im? portation of butter is too great to ven turn upon a calculation. "And not a pound of either," said Mr. H. J. Wing, "but oould have been made right here in Georgia." "Of the $35,000,000 brought into Georgia last year to pay fo:: her cotton crop, ' said Commissioner Nesbitt, "fully $16,000,000 was sent out of the State for articles of consumption. I could very easily figure out why it is that by each new year there is not a dollar left of the $35,000,000, and that we have left debts hanging over us until next year." It is the work of stopping up this commercial crevasse that Colonel Red? ding and Mr. Wing have addressed themselves, and whether they "will succeed depends entirely upon those who have the loss to stand if they fail. The dairymen's convention, which met in this city on Wednesday, was present in answer to a call issued from the authorities of the experimental station. Mr. H. J. Wing is the dairy expert at the station. The idea that Georgia could produce her own butter and cheese had its origin with Direc? tor R. J. Redding. "Several years ago," he said, "in company with Colonel Felix Corput and others, I made a trip through Ohio. We noticed that the dairy section, especially around Wellington, seemeu to be the most prosperous part of the State. Not only those who owned the dairies, but all those who lived about them, had an appearance of comfort not to be found elsewhere. The fact that they dealt in a product which re? quired some skill, and that it brought in a continual flow of money, had a stimulating influence on all other kinds of business. It was a work which extended to benefit over the entire community. On our return we decided that a better use could not be made of the experimental farm than to test the making of cheese. We already knew what we could do with butter, and if the same result couiJ be attain? ed for cheese, then we would have opened up a business that could be established on every crossroads of Georgia. The stock industry is one of the best in which any people can engage. More stock means more manure, more grass; then more grass, more manure, more stock. The dairy business and the stock business are, therefore, combined, and as ^ requisite for both, good farming is necessary. I have it from Professor Henry, of Wis? consin, that that State, smaller in area and population than Georgia, from six months of the year, and 1,500 miles away from a seaport, ships $2,000,000 worth of cheese to England annually. Her weekly income from dairy pro? ducts during the shipping season is $500,000. The expert at the station, Mr. H. J. Wing, can give many more statistics concerning the possibilities of the cheese market." Mr. Wing, a native of New York, and one of the men who rode with Sheridan into Winchester, is a dairy? man of wide experience, ranging from New York, throrveh Ohio and Wiscon? sin into Montana. He is an enthusi? ast over the possibilities existing in Georgia for building up an immense trade in butter and cheese. "The life of the nation," he said, "is more dependent upon the cow than upon anything else. This may sound strange, but if you withdraw the cow from your markets, away with her goes milk, butter, cheese, tallow, huff hoofs, home, hides and hair. She is money wherever you place her, and even in death she is not without value. There is money made in dairying in New York, notwithstanding the fact that the winters are sometimes so cold that the hoofs freeze off the cattle. Neither New York nor Ohio have the water supply that is found in Georgia. They have to use windmills to pump up their water, .which often fails. When one goes through Georgia and sees the hundreds of creeks and small rivers, he sees at once the advantage you have in the way of water. In Wisconsin the blizzards are so severe and disastrous that I would not live in the State if given the best plant there as a present. Here in Georgia you can go in your shirt sleeves the year round, you need but little shelter for you stock, your water comes bubbling to you from its mountain sources, your soil answers tc the touch, and, above all, a fortune for which any other State would give millions?your Ber? muda grass cannot be estimated. Here, then, is soil, water, climate, grass, and it only requires ordinary intelligence in the man to produce such a commercial revolution as I should hesitate to describe to you. Green food all the year around, and your own port right here at Savannah. "Another thing I want to tell you. It is a mistake to suppose that you need blooded stock to start with. In the common scrub cows of Georgia you have today the best basis in the world upon which to grade up. The Jersey is the best animal to cross with your common stock. As a butter producer the Jersey cannot be approached. At the late world's fair there were seven? ty-five Jersey cows kept under test for throe months. Their water and food were bought and paid for at city prices. At the end of three months their product showed a clear profit of $1,300. For a creamery 300 cows should be engaged, thus giving the whole neighborhood a chance to be? come interested in the enterprise. "That the dairy is the greatest in? dustry on the farms of the United States is unquestioned. The milk supply of our large cities is, in itself, an immense industry, and the numer? ous railroads running out from every populous center furnish evidence of this fact. The census of 1890 was the only complete inquiry ever attempted in regard to dairying. Every cow keeper, whether farmer or not, was required to state the total quantity of milk that he produced in 1889, the amount sold for consumption in fami? lies, sent to creameries, the quantity used at home, the making of butter and cheese and the amount of milk used on the farm in making cream for sale. The cream enumerators were obliged to ascertain the amount sent to either creamery or factory, or dis posed of in other ways; the butter made on the farm, how much of it was sold, and the same in regard to cheese. Only a few of the totals have yet been completed by the census bureau. Away back as far as 1879 a large per? centage of the cheese was made on the farms. In 1870 there was not a single butter or cheese factory in St. Law? rence county, New York, but today j that county manufactures four million pounds of cheese and three million pounds of butter in her factories. Even with the large increase of butter factories, the production of butter on farms increased 30 per cent during the decade, while the production of J cheese decreased 31 per cent. The I buttor made on the farms in 1879 was I 777,000,000 pounds, and 27,000.000 of cheese, while in 1889 the production of butter reached nearly 1.014,000,000 pounds and cheese had lallen off to less than 18,750,000 pounds. Making J a liberal estimate of twenty-five pounds j of milk for one pound of butter, and j twelve and a half pounds of milk for I one of cheese, we find that there was I used 2,470,000,000 gallons of milk in 1879, and 3,186,000,000 gallons in 1889 in the production of butter and cheese on farms. Taking the amount used in 1889 from the total production of over J 5,209,000,000 gallons, it leaves 2,023, 000,000 gallons of milkused in making butter and cheese in factories, and otherwise consumed. Granting that increase in the amount of milk used j in butter and cheese factories was much as the increase of butter made on the farms?31 per cent?or the de- J crease in cheese (and it must have been fully as much if not more), and I we would find that about 689,000,000 gallons were used for this purpose, j This would leave about 1,334,000,000 gallons to be consumed in cities, vil-1 lages and on farms, from the 17,000, 000 milk cowh of the union. With a population of 63,000,000 this indicates that an annual per capita consumption of about eighty-five quarts of milk as j whole milk. Adding five quarts for j the milk produced by cows in cities, our milk trade is about ninety quarts per capita, worth to the farmers $2.50, costing the consumer $5. This indi? cates that the producers get about $150,000,000 i:or the milk, which costs the final consumer $30,000,000. j "The number of milk cows shows an j increase in every section of the union, j but the gain is greatest in the newer pans of the country. The increase of J dairy products" is not due alone to the increase in the number of cows, but also to their better care and feed. According to the figures given, the j average yearly production per cow is but 315} gallons per head, or 2,682 pounds. Allowing twenty-five pounds of milk to a pound of butter, the yield is raised to but 134 pounds. Progres- j sive dairymen concede that there is no profit in their cows unless their yield is brought up to 200 or 300 pounds of butter per year. i "In 1890 it required 1,000 freight trains, of thirty cars each, to move,the J product of this country. Iowa pro? duced 100,000,000 pounds, worth $21, 000,000; Illinois 95,000,000 pounds, and Wisconsin 45,000,000 pounds, worth $9,000,000, The assessed value of cows was worth, in 1889, $700,000, 000, or more than the capital of all the national banks. The dairy product exceeds in value the lumber, wheat and iron of the country combined. "These- figures," concluded Mr. Wing, "are dry, buti.hey are eloquent of the importance oJ: the butter and cheese industry. It is possible to bring into Georgia a trade of $30,000, 000 to $50,000,000 annually. The ex? periments we have made at, the station established every point in favor of Georgia, and now all we want is that enterprising but careful men in every community should inform themselves fully, and thus be prepared to lead tho way toward this new era of prosperity, of which the cow will be the trade? mark." One of the best informed men pres? ent was Mr. M. L. Duggan, of Linton, who was elected secretary of the asso? ciation. "It was Governor Northen," he said, "who first induced me to go into the business. My father and the governor were both schoolmates. When the governor quit teaching, he had thir? teen scrub cows, with which he decid? ed to go into the butter business. At the end of his first year he had gained J $56 from each cow. He paid $250 for a Jersey bull, which paid him in a short time over $1,500. This was en? couragement enough for him. I have not onty made a success in grading up my cattle, and furnishing an excellent article of butter, but I have yearly a sale for every pound of butter that I can produce. It requires ^ personal care, but the reward for it is a much better living than I could have ever expected to make at the cotton or any other business. I hope to see the day when Georgia will export instead of import both butter and cheese." Mr. Duggan, happy and prosperous, is a fair type of what thousands of Georgians may become, if they will but imitate his industry and intelli? gence." All hail the power of butter and cheese! P. J.

Sulphur versHS Citerpllic.rs, Of all the methods cf ridding trees of caterpillars, this one, told us recent? ly by Mr. A. S. Kingsley, of this city, is the most prompt and efficient we have heard of. Many years ago his father, who lived in Switzerland Coun? ty, was greatly troubled with tree cat? erpillars, which were literally devour? ing both shade and orchard trees. They were too numerous to destroy in the usual way, and he was hopeless of a remedy till he heard of the sulphur cure. According to the instructions given him he bored a hole three or four inches into a wild cherry tree that was fast being defoliated and placed in it a stick of brimstone, which he plug? ged up, perhaps with clay. In three hours thereafter the worms began to drop from the limbs, and the next day a heap nearly as large as a half bushel measure was swept from the ground around the tree. The apple trees in? fested were then treated in. the same manner and with like result. The sul? phur taken up in the sap to the leaves proved a quick and sure po\son to the pests.? Indiana Farmer9 Differences In Unman Natorp. One of the most striking things in all nature is the difference that exists between the various individuals of the same class. It is said that if our power of vision was sufficiently acute, we should perceive that no two blades of grass, no two grains of sand, no two drops of water was precisely simi? lar. We know this to be true of ev? erything which comes within the scope of our observation, both in the organic world and inorganic world, and it is only reasoi able to believe that the same law reigns through the entire universe. These differences become more obvious to us as we be? come more familiar with the typo. We easily recognize the variations in the trees of the forest, in the birds of j the air, in the beasts of the fields, in the features and forms of the men and women who surround us, and the oftener we observe them, and the more closely we scrutinize them, the j greater is the diversity that we dis? cover between them. When we knoT a person well it is impossible that we can mistake Him for any one else ; his peculiar expressions of face and form and manner are stamped upon our memory and excite our instant re- - cognition. No two minds run in the same channels, or think exactly each oth? er's thoughts. Truth is many-sided, and multitudes of men and women stand still, viewing continually but one of her phases. Did they but move around hsr, changing their re-. spective attitudes, they would appre? ciate one another far better. Excel? lent people sometimes regret that there are so many differences of opin? ion upon a single subject. If fall were agreed, they say, how smoothly and harmoniously might all work to? gether for the general good 1 They forget that, were this possible, there would be no consensus of the truth," no gathering together of its many fea? tures, no comparison of its many as? pects. It is just this mingling of sin? cere convictions that enables men to correct their fallacies, to retrieve their blunders, to arrive at something like wise judgment and correct conclu? sions. Yet we chafe and fret at these very differences, and attribute to them many of the evils which really belong to our unwillingness to recognize and accept them. Too often irritation, ill feeling, and even anger arise from this innocent cause. Interchange of opinion, whether in ordinary conver? sation or in discussions and debates, is among the most instructive and valuable means of forming true opin? ions, yet often is it poisoned by a dog? matism that will brook no contradic? tion and a temper which regards all dissent as a personal affront.?Phila? delphia Ledger. ?
