She went to the register, and as Phil Drown blushed, she wrote in a clear hand. Miss E. Woollaid, Gal veston, Texas. She was assigned room 36. Her baggage followed.

BEECHER THEN AND NOW I was thinking about these preachers who make such, a noise iu the world, and after all I reck on tbey are just human like the rest of us. They have passions and prejudices and make blunders, but 1 reckon they -An good for they are generally' moral men and set a good example' and fight the devil as hard as thev can. But I had rather see a preacher go along qui etlv and hnmbiv and not assume to know more than ever.vlody else. 1 don't like tlie way Dr. Talinage talks in the pulpit. He said ihe other day that there were three men running for president of this great nation who were so corrupt and debased in morality tbat the very mention of their names called for carbolic acid to purify the at mosphere. Well. I supiose be al luded to Blaine and Untler and Joe Mnttiattoii. 1 don't care any thing about Blaine and Ifiifler but the drummers tell me that doe Mulhatton is a very nice decent clever sort of a man and has good morals except that he tells big yarns and yets up a sensation wherever he goes. , He never tells a he to hurt anybody. The world is lull of his kind of lies. There are the Arabian Night and Karon Munchausen, and Jules Verne and Eli Perkins aiul Edgar Poe aud all sneh, 'afl we enjoy them for they amuse us without credulity. I think had better preach strainiug our lhat pieachers the, g(spel and alone. It don't calling names David sinned, let particular men do any good to' In iu p.iblic. Wheu the prophet Samuel dident get up on a stump or in a pulpit and fell everylKkly about it' and call for carbolic acid, but he went to David privately and talked to him, and David was overwhelmed with gtillt and repented. Now mayle if Dr. Talmage would talk 'to Mr.. Blaine about the Mulligan letters he would own up and beg Mulli gan's pardon -and retire from the race and like David exclaim, -iiiy sin is ever lwdbrc inc.7' May Ik the doetor could ersuade Mulhatton to quit lying and lien Butler io quit iphiyilig the demagogue. 1 don't 'reckon the doctor has got, anything against St. .John or Mr. Cleveland, for they say he voted for Cleveland for governor. But after nil I reckon it depends a good deal on how a preacher talks and who he is for. Now. I nsed to abuse Beecher because he abused oar side, and I said he prOstitidedthe pulpit to worldly pnrjioses; iHir now, since he has conic over and is preaching . for Cleveland, I see it in a very dif feient liht. He is a great and a good num. As he grows in age he grows iu grace and in wisdom. I know he has more grace than he had twelve years ago. for when aiinodoinim keeps r. lliug on if j will, tell on a man of his au'c audi reduce his temptations. 1 think that all those big noisy preacher 1 up north would turn democrats if they had as much sense and as much age and as much money as Beecher. I've noticed that most all the young ambitious men up north are. republicans. That party has, for twenty -lour years, been iu the line, of promotion. Money and office have been the rewards, and young men want either one or the other. If that party had have dis. ti ibnted money anil office as freely at the south siuce the war as they did at the north they would have built, up a very respectable wing down nere a -d broken the back of the solid south. But they would eut. About half the offices that belong t us they sent down mug wumps from the north to take them, and when our folks did get any they turned them out before they had time Io steal half their allowance, and when they hap pened to put in a mau like Gen eral i.ongstreet, who wouldent steal at all, they coi'sidered him unfit l hold office, and not only turned him out of office but held back his salary. I read in the "Tribune'' the. oth er day that it was impossible (for northern youths to grow up demo crats, for if is said that northern literature was almost entirely re publican and the northern publi cations trom the Harpers and all the standard houses were republi can and breathed eterual hostili ty to the barbarism and the social methods of the south, and tbat their school books which were adopted in the northern sclnols associated the martyr Lincoln and the hero General Grant and the per?fuitv of the union with re publicanism. Well, that is so, 1 reckon. 1 have seen some of those school 'looks, and some of them got down here into our schools, ami had lessons in them that were ait insult to our jieople and were prohibited. We ought, to publish our own school books and let, theirs alone. Nearly every school book in mv house is by a northern ! author aud published by a north- 'ern house. .A man who has been! an editor of a southern newspaper' told me that a ftook agent oflei ed ; him money to use. his paer and his inrt'ietwe to get his northern ! books ahip?ed in our schools. iThev d verything ith money np there, and I'm sorry to say our people are falling into their ways, Well, it looks now like we have a chauce, a prospect, ami maytie ir is the Ixird's will that justice snail 1h done.

None that I am tit for: but our boys down south want a good many. They want their share that's 'all.

Dooly Vindicator: Every, year the, number of hoys who leave the farm to grasp the deceptive, glit ter of town life is incrensed. They seem to think that all to be Uone is to come to town, don a starched shin front aud collar, a pair of cork -toed shoes and a brass watch chain, get a clerkship at a big sal ary, and soon branch out for the.ui seives, to make in a very short time a vast fortune; or to reach the fop round of fame, and become, st leading-statesman, they have an idea that they have only to enter a lawyer's office, cross their legs, read Bhickstoue six months, learn lies and go to the. legllaturWrAice or t w ice, w hen the battle isrnht and the victory won. Alas! -bow many noble boys vvho would have made good farmers aud lecpnie a blessing to their country, hae left gooil homes and a promising5 future to wreck their lives upon the treacherous allurements of town and city. It is .seldom one, Swa days, eveit makes a success. Tfiey find everything so different from what they have been led to eipect that they become discouraged, lose interest and energy, and conse quently are a failure. Some are 1 ersuaded ami led off into the t housands of temptations that sur round them and soon become unlit for business, are discharged by their employer and go to ruin. Blacks! one is not so easily learned as the would-be congressman ex pects, and he, IiecOmes discoura ged of ever going through with the piles of other books , necessary to a knowledge of law gives it up as a mistaken calling lielore having learned even the funda mental principles. We don't, mean to say that all boys who come to town to make a "living, fail. Some of our best and mod successful business and professional inert were raised on the farm; but they came to town thoroughly posted with the ups and downs, tempta tions audi triaLs to be contended with, and the determination to overcome them all. The most of them Sire not so brave and patient, and disapisiintment, leads to dis couragement to indifference and carelessness, thence to ruin. Hoys," stn.v upon the farm.

THE GOLDEN WEED. So satisfactory has tobae.-o prov ed in late yesi-s as a crop to farm eis, that vheu once introduced in to a sionon snirable for its growth (and few sections of this country are unsuitable for Rome of the many varieties) its culture in a lew years has become common for miles and miles, atid its volume increased an finally tenfold, until its .spread is confined by insurmountable barri ers. We wilt cite a few instances as illustrations. In North Carolina ten years ago tobacco was produc j el to the extent of but a couple of! millions of (touutls. This year's ; crop of that Stale will p.ijhahlyj reaen (kMlb0,0Oo pouu Is, worth i many millions ol dolhirs, and in ', the State are numbers of towns and cities which owe their existence absolutely to its influence, and millions of pounds are mautifac lined .within the Slate into chew, iug and smoking tobacco and ci garettes, gleatly increasing the maniifacf uriiiir insiitnlions of the State ami giving -employment' to! tl sands of people while millions of iHiuuds more are sent to all sec- tious of the I lilted - States and of the most imjiortaut sources of support, power and wealth of its people, and will probably for ye us lo come.

Stock raising was con sidered a very profitable source of revenue to this section, but tobac co (.White Barley) when introduc ed, at once was shown to far ex ceed it in thi particular. Wiueonsiii ten years ago produc ed 1,444 acres of inferior tobacco. This year it produced eloe to Iti, 000 acres ten fold in volume, and even better than that in value. And alniiit nine tenths of this was produced in two counties, while thirty counties have so far been proved to have soil capable of n duci-?g it. Missouri has also of late y ears felt the influence and found out the value of tobacco as a crop. Now South Carolina, Florida and and other Southern States are turning their attention to its cul ture. South Carolina previous to the war produced considerable to- baccft though mainly of the cheap export kinds, but now that sur- n.iiiulinsr States have profited so , largely by the kinds and vai leties more recently used ami demanded by manufacturers, some of the leading .'newspapers of the Slate are urging its culture, and some few of the more advanced planters have taken an interest-and exiieii mented to their satisfaction, and probably in a lew years tobacco Will occupy a respectable position in the schedule of its agricultural products. in fact, so widespread has le come the culture of tobacco, that it is probable overproduction will result to t he detriment of values. For while the increase in demand for the ' manufactured article at home, .aud the leaf abroad, has been phenomenal, yet, it cannot lie exiiected to keep pace with the stiil more phenomenal increase in the leaf production in the United States ami foreign countries too.; This is a phase of the question that should receive the serious at tention of planteis at large, aud influence jthem to decide iheir course in the next year. They should not fail also to consider that maiiufactuiers this year have shown a decided tendency to i1 sort to the common grades Jor sup ply, in order to give a cheap article to the public, who thev declare will too, as com petition is active ami almost bitter between tneni ine mauufacfiir- ers. This of course has hatl a tenden ev to materially reduce values on the lietter grades, and even with i present prices, with which planters and shippers are greatly nissans tied (especially in the White Hur ley sections) the deimattd-i very meagre aud in no way up to the supply. It rests with the planters, therefore, il stdl further inductions are to be made iu the ue:ir future. We would not advise any planter to abandon tobacco culture, but we think indications jioiiit to a re duced' arreage next yeai -as the wi.-cst course to tuaintaiii allies within reasonable bounds. In the interest of ai conceinei we deem it timely to give this ad vice. It is as much 'tt the 'In teres! of manufacturers as to the planteis and the rest of the cople. that the production and value l tobacco lie maintained within reasonable lim its. None will profit by j overpro duction, and consequent deiin.i aliz atioii of values, fm this means 'hard lime" lo an . important ele ment of the imputation, ami the result will le inimical to all inter ested, though of course, the most to the one directly con-eriied.
