The .production of Bessemer steel rails In 1887 was about 1,950,000 grossi tons,- or about 375,000 tons more than in 1886. The Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal prints part of a letter from Senator Evarts to ex-State Senator Arkell, in which, speaking of Secre tary Lamar's nomination to the Su preme bench, he sayB : "The republi can Senators can be safely trusted with this matter. All that has been said in the newspapers about foolish things laid to my charge is wholly upon; their own responsibility, and not upon mine."

Having read and heard so much iu regard to Mr. George's theory on anti-poverty I write you a few lines in regard to the same. My wife is a subscriber to your valuable paper on agriculture, and I read it regularly. I con sider thrift, industry and economy in the masses is great antidote as to anti-poverty and the best interests of the community. A man must try and be his own architect in the man agement of his journey through life, and if faithfully carried Out poverty will hot enter his door. I would also Lave weekly meetings to form, clubs, and if necessary, lo pool labor earn ings, and place the money in the hands of a good man to purchase sup plies iit lowest rash prices, have deli it and credit account and settle monthly by energy you would soon improve your position in life. ' I gen eially have forty men working at the marble quarrying, at from $1.25 at J SI per day. They could do well if they wished by cultivating a garden Would be remunerated greatly and pave creatly in the consumption of bacon and orn-bread. I have been resident, of the United States forty yeaVs, tbirty of it in East Tennessee, When 1 came here the new lands produced large, crops; - now most of these farms are exhausted by : contin ual corn cropping, with grass im prbvement. Iu seventy-five years of aneventful life, in all quarters of the world, Australia included, I have novl or found a finer climate than East Tennessee to live in for cheapness of products and healthfulness All thai is. required is to keep tbe land up, and not let the soil be washed away by continual plowing.

Mr. Ii-agan oposedJthe bill. He said he coa'.d iardly hope to throw any new light upon the subject, but he felt it due toi the peogle of his State to give the reasons why he should vote against the bill. So ruch of the purpose of the bill as looked to the enlargeiucct of common school acuities had his hearty approval, and any measuro for that purpose. which olid not involve violation of the constitution would command his support. It was not to the purposes of the bill but to its methods that he was opposed. His opposition to it was based upen the absencfe of the power in Congress to enact iuch a law. Its iiansujo Would be ie adoption of a policy of centralization which would establish a; despotisjn of the popular majority, at erthrow the constitution end en danger the liberties of the people. It onerea a oriDe oi money to me people to sacrifice their manhood, their self reliance ad their State governments. It would tge a surrender by tho people of their birthright for a mes3 of pot tage.

The number of flemocratc Senators voting against it was 13s; Mr. Plumb suggesUl an Inquiry whether the object in giving the list vas an apprehension that any bf the Senators who had voted for the bill might get away.
