THE DAILY NEWS. Tbe Stab. BY WILL. WALLACE HABXEY. On the road, tho lonely road. Under the cold ahite moon ; Under the rugged trees he strode. He whistled and shifted his heavy load Whistled a foolish tune. There was a step timed with his own, A figure that stooped and bowed. A cold white blade that flashed and shone. Uko a splinter of daylight downward thrown. And the moon went behind a cloud. But the moon came out so broad and good, The barn fowl wote and crowed. Then roughed his feathers in drowsy mood, And Uie brown owl called to his mate in tho wood That a dead man lay on the road. The Grab. ST JLXOTHXB FELLOW. On the street the lonely stroet, Under the gas-light's glare ; Under the locust trees to sleep. Ho curled himself all up in a heap And snored away dull care. There was a step that tin: ed with his own A figure he wore on his hat A blue frock coat-buttons that shone Like a splinter ot daylight downward thrown, A hickory club and all that. The morning came. At the Police Court The Judge had taken bis seat ; The City Attorney made his report, And each bummer called to his mate in sport That a drunk man lay on the street. Small Farms for Cotton Culture. [From the New York Evening Post.J A gentleman who bafi lately lived in Brazil, and is familiar with the manner in which cot? ton is raised in that country, writes ns: "In reading the article in tho Evening Poet, of the 18th ultimo, on 'Small Farms for Cotton Culture,' I was struck with the extract from the Charleston Mercnry, which you quote. The Mercnry says: 'Will the Evening Post be pleased to tell" UB by what system of labor cotton is cultivated in Brazil, in Egvpt and in India?* '.A long residence in the principal cotton port of Brazil enables me to answer the ques? tion as regards that empire, if not to the sat? isfaction of the Mercury, at least to its en? lightenment, aa had the writer of the article been acquainted with the facts, he would have been silent as to the system ol'Brazil, which is of such a character as to make it a very etroiig argument against tho position advanced by bim, that cotton cannot be profitably raised [ by small farmers. " First let me givo you the exact figures of the receipts at the port of Pcrnambuco, with which place I am best acquainted, premising that the ratio of inciease has, I believe, been carried out pretty generally throughout tue empire. In 1860 the receipts at Pernamluco were 21,461 bales tof only 160pounds average); in 1861, 20,530 ; then came tue rebellion, but, as you are aware, it took a long time to es? tablish a cotton famine and consequent high prices; still an impetus to cotton culture was given, and in 1862,35,211 bales wore received ; m 1863, 47,044. In this year and tbe next the very highest prices were reached, and in 1864 the receipts were 113,697 ; in 1865,161,419, and in 1866, 200 994 bales, being an increase of ten? fold for the fifth year. "The stimulus for this extraordinary increase is self-evident; now for the means. You should know that during these years no slaves were imported into the empire, nor was tliore any immigration, if we except individual emi? grants from Portugal and the Azores ; nor was there any deportation of slaves from the sea? board, where the sugar is grown, to the inte? rior lands, where the cotton culturo prevails. Large plantations of cotton are quite unknown, and the insignificant quantity raised previous to the rebellion was grown principally by small planters, who bad very few slaves, say from one to ten each, and who were themselves la? borers. "but on the stimulus of the high price, the free country people, each of whom owns, hires or 'equate' on a little patch of land, upon which he raises bis mandioca to make the almost universal food, farinha,' and his coin or othor vegetables, went into cotton planting, in which the whole family were able to assist; and thero were soon about as many 'cotton planters' m the province as previously there had been bales raised. The slow and difficult native precess of gaining had to be abandoned, and American band gins were introduced and scattered al? most broadcast over the country. Then the countryman sold his little lot of cotton m the seed to a country dealer, if too small to make it worth while buying a gin; or had it ginned and baled at a neighbor's press and took it himself to town to sell. Frequently have I seen such a countryman with his horse load of a bale of cotton on one side, and a basket of chickens (with perhaps a big stone as a make? weight) or a bag of corn on the other, and I have conversed with a great many who had raised, som 3 half a bale, some one or two bales, as they had the land to spare and the family to assist in their labors. "I am satisfied that two-thirds of the crops of late years have been raised by free labor, and a large proportion by men who were with? out the means to hire labor, and who farmed their own patches of land. "This class of free men in Brazil are almost without exception either of pure negro blood or more or less mixed, freedmen themselves and the descendants ol freedmen ; puro whites are very rare amongst thom. These are to be contended against in Brazil, besides tho na? tural and inevitable disinclination to labor of the lower classes of free people in a slave coun? try, the proverbial laziness of tho na? tives of the tropics, where the merest pittance and the smallest conceivable amount of labor gives them food, and for clothing a few yaros of cotton cloth is all thoy require. If with such material the stimulus of money getting alone enables a country to increase the culture of cotton tenfold in five years, what shall prevent the South, with a far better, more vigorous laboring population, who must labor or die, from not only becoming again the great cotton producer of the world, but being able to finnish cotton to the woild to the exclusion of all others. "In Brazil, again, the bulk of the cotton is brought Rroat distances to market or tho soa Sort, and the only means of transport arc ones, ?ich horse carrying two bale j over bad roads, through woods and brush, wbero the waste is very gr jat indeed. A road into a cot? ton district is literally lined with cotton, and the cost of transport is frequently over six cents gold per pound, and little enough you will say when von know it is a journey of two or three weeks from some points. Yet with ali these difficulties to contend against, the in? crease in cotton culture bas been as I have stat? ed, and this entirely on a system of 'email farms for cotton culture.' Your article hits the nail ou the head, and gives the only sensible solu? tion to the question as to the future of the freed laborers at the South, aud I think the Brazil system a strong additional argument in its favor." We hope some of the Southern journals, like the Charleston Mercury, which have been per? suading their i eaders that cotton can be profi? table grown only on large plantations, and by men of considerable c ipital, will print tho lot? ter of our correspondent, in which it is so clearly shown that under far less favorable circumstances than those of the people in the Southern States, the Brazilian freedmen an J small farmers have grown cotton to a very great exteut upou small holdings, and with only the labor of their families. Butler and Spoons. AN INCIDENT OF THE DICKENS' READINGS LN WASHINGTON. A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Commer? cial writes : An incident worth montioning occurred in Washington on the second night of the Dick? ens readings. Ben Buller entered after the performance had commenced, and walked down the centre aisle while Dickens was de? scribing one of the most interesting scenes in his selections from David Copperfield. Per haps Benjamin waa unavoidably detained, or perhaps he wished to make his appearance at a time when he could attract that amount of attention which he thinks is du- to his emi? nent abilities and great public services. Thero are those who adopt this as one of the wavs of keeping before the people; some of them never enter the church tnl the congregation is well seated, and then walk straight,to tho Trout pew. It General Butler hadn't his miud's eye on thia idea on the occas ion referred to, his motives were misunderstood by many, that's ali. Well, the hero of Bermuda walked down the aisle the observed of all observers, and took his seat in a very select and advantageous part of the hall. The first selection was soon concluded, and Mr.Dickeus retired as is his wont for ten minutes of rest and refreshment. The rustle ami bustle consequent upou a relaxation of attontiou followed. There were whisperings among the older folks, and flutings among the vounger, in tho midst of which up rose Butler from h is seat, either to observe or to bo observ? ed, hard to tell which, though 1 incline to tho lat? ter belief. There was no mistaking that bald head, or that strabismic eye. It was Benja? min F. Butler, and nobody else. The inter? misi?n, Uko all things on this earth, had its end, Diokons reappeared and tbe readings were resumed. This time it was a selection from Pickwick-the famous Bob Sawyer party scene. It was very funny, as we all know, and tho laughing was, ?t times, immoderate. There waa a point, however, at which the laugh be? came very much like a vulgar roar, and it wasn't the funniest part of tho reading by any means. Mr. Dickens felt a Utile confused, I thougut, lor a man of his nice perceptions knows there is such a thing possible as a laugh at tLie expendo of an actor, which is always more vivid than that provoked by tho play. Dickens evidently thought ho hud bhindercd. But he hadn't. He had sinu.lv read tho follow? ing colloquy between Hopkins and Noddy-and thc audiouc. ind just seen Butler, and every one know he was present : "I request that you will favor me with your card, sir." "I'll do nothing of tho kind, sir." "Why not, sir?" "Because you will stick it up over your chimney-pioe?, and delude your visitors into tho fabe belief that a gentleman has been to see you, sir." "Sir, a friend of mino shall wait on you in the morning." "Sir, I am very much obliged to you for thc caution, and will leave panicular directions with the servant to tock up ?he spoons." The laugh, Mr. Dickens, which so exceeded all bounds as to perplex vou, was duo solely to a connection in tho popular mind between (reli? erai Butler and spoons ! Trial of the Kev. Stephen H. Tyng. Jr. The trial ol tho Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., was resumi d to-day tn St. Peter's Church, m West 20th-stroet. Kev. Dr. Tiffany, of New Brunswick, N. J., was the tirsl witness called for the defence. Ho said that by invi.ation he auppUed the pul? pit of St. James' Methodist Church, of Now Brunswick, on more than ono Sunday of July, 1867; the title to tho property of this church ip not vested in tho conference, as required by tho discipline of tho Methodist Church, but is vested in a board of trustees, two of whom are not members of any church, and the president of tho board is a parishioner of the church presided over by Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., in New York; witness resides in New York in the winter months, and in New Brunswick in the summer: witness was present at St. James' Church on the Sunday Mr. Tyng officiated there; ho attended at the personal solicitation of members of hi9 'Wu church, thoro was no invitation extended by tho authorities of the church. On tho cross-examination tho witness testi? fied tbat he was ordained deacon of tho Metho? dist Church in March, 1848, anti in March, 1850, was ordained elder; witness carno from Chicago to preach temporarily in St. James' Church; Mr. Tyng informed the witness on the Sunday morning referred to that he had received a lotter from Rev. Mr. Stubbs, a minister of the Episcopal Churches in New Brunswick, ob? jecting to his preaching in a Methodist Church. Rev. Dr. Muhlen berg was the next witness. He stated that lie had been fifty years a mem? ber of the Episcopal Church; he* had known Episcopal Ministers to officiate in non-Episco? pal Churches, aud tho witness had dene so himself without ecclesiastical censure; ho know of many instances where express permission to do so was not sought. Rev. Dr. Newton tostifiod that ho had boen an Episcopal minister for thirty years, most of tbo time in Philadelphia; in Pennsylvania ministers aro accustomed to preach wherever thero is an opening for such service, no man contradicting; this usage h a-j prevailed to a considerable ex'cut; witness has officiated several times iu Burlington, N. J., in a Presby? terian church, and once ata funeral service at yt. Mary's Church; witness never asked con? sent tu so officiate; it was the impression of thc witness that a pastor liad a right to officiate wherever called upon by his own parishioners; at stated services ho considered that an Epis? copal clergyman was bound to use thc iormal service, but on special occasions ho could use his own judgment. On the cross-examination the witness testi? fied that ho had not seen the letter of Mr. Jay Cooke to this board, ur thc sermon referred to in that lotter; ho was n.n tho author of the declaration which appeared in thu Independent of December ll, 1807, but ho was ono of the signors of it.-Ntw York Post, lilli.
