Th-e Wilkeshoro Chronicle the other day said that Mr.Haekett liad sold 1 ,IMX n.unds of the i.'st hay from first eutting of twelve acres, and has from '.),)00 to 10,000 pounds yet of the same nttio.r The second cutting will yield us much as the first.

The i'.ulletin d' the North Carolina Department f Agriculture. V! have a still better illustra tion ef North Carolina's hay-producing possibilities in a county adjoining us. A few years ago Dr. Murphy, Superintendent of the Wcfctem Hospital, Morganton, bought a hundred acres of bottom, acknowledged to he as poor and as little suited to agricultural pur poses as any land iu the cour.ty. When lh-j editor of the Record visited the Hospital in June, the excellent Doctor showed him near ly two hundred tons of hay, of the first cutting, that he had taken from that. hundred acres of land, considered by the neighboring far inert as being entirely worthless' few years before. The Doetor said that during the year he would savt nigh on to four hundred tons of hay from that piece of ground, or nearly hair tons p r acre, lb feeds a portion of this hay to cat tle, and as a result has the linet herd of milk cattle in the South, it is said. Scores of our fanners ought right now to be at i lie lusani? Asv tion as w se it reflected in the great mirror of Nature, while other States are pressing onward and upward, by suce"?ive steps of interna! improvement, to planes of excel Ienef far above us. 1 letter, far better, would it have been for us if one of our poets (iude'-d,they are few) could have, written of North Carolina as Whittier wrote of Massachusetts : "JJnuti, t;N ak,aiMl t-anl our little State.

And "li it her rugged soil denies, t he l-arve.-t of the mind M.pj,li--s." Although Massachusetts could be laid down on North Carolina more than six times, though she possesses none of North Carolina's dements of natural greatness mineral wealth, productive soil, etc. and has not a navigable river within her I orders, yet her wealth in ISjISO was $2,34S,UJ0 more than North Carolina; and her valuation of property per capita was Sr'l.ottS, ' while North Carolina's was .'5H) Massachusetts paid for public edu cation in 18MJ $7,570,717; North Carolina paid tho same year for the same purpose only $7(;5.1)o5. Quoting from that great apostle of public education, Horace Mann, ''How divinely wise were the Pil grim Fathers when they foresaw that if they could give knowledge and virtue to their children, they .could give them everything. To the great founders of the public svstem of education we look back with lilial reverence and love. Amid the barrenness of the land and in the destitution of wealth, they coined the rude necessaries of life into a means of generous sup port." Lut North Carolina is not be hind Massachusetts alone in pub lic education and in the blessings oi wealth and nrosneritv that in variably accompany the liberal education of the masses, in lbbi, in all the States and Territories two dollars for everv man, wo man and child were spent for pub lic education, while Nortli Caroli na spent the pitiful sum of thirty nine cents. She spends less money for education than any other Southern State except South Caro lina, and less than half as much as Virginia. Superintendent Fin ger said that, according to the as sessed valuation of propertv, we are doing less for public education than any other Southern State. To discuss, even briefly, the many defects of our public school system, as it is at present managed, would require space far greater than tho limits of this paper would allow. Suffice it to merely note' a few of those gravest defects, which are apparent to most careless ol server. Nianv ot our seliooi-nouses are uncomfortable, poorly lighted furnished with backless seats, not provided with desks, and are but little better than stables for horses. children. The most crying need of all is a ionger term of school. Toe pres ent nchMil term is sixty-three days The poor brain-starved children, during ti e long months interven ing, forget the little that they did lenrii during those sixty-three short, cold winter davs. An in crease to tix mouths in the length of the school term would create a demand for teachers, and teaching would become a profession (School term in Massachusetts is eight and one-half months). The education of the masses is the highest duty of citizenship and the noblest aim of statesmanship. For the children of to-day will be the State of to-morrow. As "the child is father to the man," so will thy training of the school-room expand into the institutions and future of the State.

Universal education is the great equalizer of the conditions of men the balance-wheel of the social machinery. By educating its citi zens a country increases its power f producing and consequently its power of acpuiring property. Prus sia's advance, after the seven years war, from an exhausted and appa rently ruined condition to the leadership of Europe, is a notable illustration of this truth. While, on the other hand, poor, starving, liseased, distracted Ireland pres ents a sickening picture ot tlie evil effects of imperial interdicts against knowledge. It is enough to paralyze our stagnant energies to see how capital oi the North dormmates labor of the South. "Ifoneclass possess all of the wealth and learning, while the res idue of society is ignorant and poor, the latter will be the servile dependents and subjects of the former. IUit if education be equal ly diffused, it will draw property after it by the strongest ot attrac tions; for such a thing nevei did happen and never can happen, as that an intelligent and practical body of men should be permanent ly poor Horace Mann.

The average teacher is himself utterly ignorant of the duties and respon sibilities of citizenship, and knows nothing of the science of govern ment, either National or tate. How, then, can we expect him to make of our children wise ami use ful citizens? In the school-room is where both the talentand exjH rience of the i?tate is ueevlel; but, sadtosay.it is empty of loth!

We need committeemen with "od, hard 4'horse-sense," enough to know that the cheapest teacher they can hire is the costliest teacher A Cuban's Opinion of Ut Amci icans. The editor of a Cuban paper draws a comparison between Amer ica and his own country anel speaks of the United States as follows : No one sees in Tthiss country or in Spain the labor trouble anel riots which daily disgrace the name and smirch the national honor of our next-door neighbor. No one sees men in high stations bargaining their honor and their iniiuence tor a i'ew thousand dol lars.Jaye, even to men high in gov ernment offices, who spawning on the public Treasury forget the du ties due their country anel allow their insatiable search of gold to rotte.. their inmost thought. The United States is a country of gold and her inhabitants, from the meanest to the highest, are all gold lovers, and in that'in,odel rM'-w-' ,.u l- nrrv wnich opens the doors to all things and all places. As a consequence of this condition of things the country is in the throes of disintegration, and not even their so-called statesmen are able to nilot the unfortunate 'menled' republic out of its present trouble. The present problem in the United States is such that it is the laughing-stock of all nations, and a more laughabl scene than that of Congress during the last tarit; debates cannot be found in the an r.als of history. Furthermore, the governor en t at Washington while on the one hand it endeavors to be as honest as possible, the fear of losing this and that contingent of voters induces it to defer and post pone all action which may injure that particular class of men, to the detriment of many millions, and this is called politics. What the Cuban has to sny about us wouldn't hurt 4o bad if it wasn't everv word t! truth. The corn crop of the United States this year promises to be, by long odds, the k rgest ever known in tho history of the country. The time has arrived when estimates can safely be nu de, and it is con fidently predicted that the yield will amount to fully two and ouarter billions of bushels. This will bo far in excess of the yield of 1801; which saw the greatest crop ever produced in this country up to that time.
