While the . subject "cf industrial schools is attracting much attention and .much favorable consideration from the people of this State, there is another and very important subject of a kindred nature, which, while the great bulk of our people are directly, interested in it, has never, received the attention- it should receive, in this nor any other State, that we know of. We refer to- the farm.. From : the bosom of the earth, i the sustenance of living things that move and have a being conies. The beings that walk, fly, swim or crawl,- all are equally dependent upon it, and it is only where it is cultivated that man prospers and civilization prog resses. ' The science of the farmer, to mase the earth yield hot: what she would, but what you would havener yield, is a beautiful and noble one, one in which there is as much room for brains as in any calling upon the earth. To plow the eround. riant seed and harvest what is grown : is not farming in the true sense of the word; it is to know the soil, what it is capable of producing,' the best, cheapest and least laborious method of producing, and in increasing the quantity of production. It is strange that in an industry upon which the prosperity of the world so greatly de pends so little effort should have been made by the governments of the world and bo much 'left to unaidpsrl individual effort, and then again it is strange that so few of the vast nums oer ot the human family engaged-in it go out of the beaten track into the field of experiment and investigation. .; The Italian of today plows the ground with a forked stick and plants seed as was done before the Caesars, and the Egyptian Fcatters his grain In the valley of the &ile as they did in the days of the Pharaohs. Other countries have made more progress, it is true, but everywhere may still be found the disposition to plod the beaten track, and do as the generation before did. And yet there is no department of human in dustry that invites more to experi ment, or that gives better results, when those experiments are backed by intelligence and observation. There should be in eveav State an agricultural college, conducted not on fancy principles, . but .in a practi cal business like was V under the supervision of scientific and , at the same time practical1 farmers where the-earth and its products would be a constant study, and experiments in seeds, modes of culture, compositiop and application of fertilizers &c, constantly made. All this could be done on a small farm, at moderate expense, and the farm after thines got in good running order be made self sustaining. r ; ' : Vm AT THE POSTMASTER GENER. ERAL SAYS.

Correspondence of tex Obsrbveb. Washtngton, ! Jan. 29. Postmaster General Hatton says that his atten tion has been called to attempts to se cure the filling of postoffices that are becoming vacant in advance of the new administration. In many in Stances Damrvrn.ta themselves Democrats, come with the plea that they had just as well be ap- fieinted now and give' the people a ew more weeks of Democratic ad ministration. ; Most of these, if not alL he savs. have strong Rflniihlioan backing. ,. He declares that this thing is all wrong, and that he will not be party to it in any way, shape or form.- The offices, will soon be at Mr. Cleveland's disposal and no effort, however feeble, to take , them out of his control should be. countenanced. Hatton talks like a decent official on this subiect. . The North Hamlin a postoffices have given great trouble to the Postmaster General and his as sistants. I ..-" .

Things are about as they were, except that ono finds more,interest in the subject as the time for selection draws nearer. The great trouble with the candidacy .of Southerners is the lack of well Known, suitable men - for the two portfolios, always excluding Mr. Gar. Iandfr if he accepts. Not withstanding the general belief that he will be the attorney general,! it is not absolutely certain that the Senator from Ar kansas means tn ho in t.ha Cleveland. Mr. Money, of Mississip pi, is a candidate for. the place of postmaster general. He has refused to permit his colleagues to unite in written testimonials in his hohaif preferring to bring no pressure upon the President but stand upon his in dividual merits, j Mr. Goode, of "Virn ginia, is also npt -without backing. The matter is all at sea. No State can say thet it will be represented, and no man, except Mr. Bayard, has a sure thing, so far as the wen in formed here are aware. It is not ab solutely sure that he will accept eith er the portfolios to one "or the other of which-he has been assigned by general consent.!

UI V V ment hat the reports circulated to the effect that the two Senators were hostile to Gov. Jarvis were and are absolutely unfoundedl This declara tion is made here purely as a matter of news and in justice to all persons concerned. j " The majority, probably nearly all the North Carolina members, will vote for the Blair education bill, not because they are , satisfied with the measure, i jr tuey wouia nave pre ferred a better bill to accomplish tie same object, but because they want something done for the removal of the reproach of illiteracy: The chances are not very good for the passage of the measure, I talked today with two. Southern Congress men on the subject. Col.

A great deal of time is being wasted in attempts to get up special measures that have no showing, and even bills like the land forfeiture measures are managed . so badly (see yesterday's proceedings) as to jeop ardize their passage with a decided majority in their favor. The average Representative is liko Mr Tfpnloir nf California, who by insisting yester day on a matter of slight' precedence, lost the day for the class of bills and it may be all opportunity this session.

The Democratic Senators and Rep resentatives who have views to pre sent or favors to ask of the new ad ministration are preparing to go on to New York to avail themselves of Mr. Cleveland general invitation.: It was said at the capitol this afternoon that both of the great leaders in the HoURfl. Snfiakfir rUrlinla and . a-.-- Speaker Randall, had received special invitations of which they proposed taking advantage, Mr. Carlisle : this week and Mr. Randall within a few days. It is understood that in some cases whole delegations would go in a body to press certain favorites for cabinet positions. In addition to those mentioned above or heretofore, it is said that the friends of Senator Jonas are very active with strong hopes of the Postmaster Generalship. tu : 1 . 1. f - x in co iiin uunutu lucubis, ueiievea 10 have been found and sent here from North Carolina were in my bands a day- or two ago. -They are of lead washed with copper.

' Under the bust is the name of the engraver, "1.
