The truth is, pur chil aV:r aud even our grandchil awi know more about many th'hus than we do. We never hid ti study anything about ioc uotives and telegraphs and t?!ep!i ones and dynamos and th- skull and bones and nerves au arteries, and what to eat s t; 1 what not to eat.

"For instance," said Jessie, 'if I start to stick a pin in your knee the nsors tell it to the brain as quick lightning and the brain tens tha motors and the motors tell the extensors and 1 the ex teris irs ieik your knee out of th why.

There is a reason tor everything in nature and tbis generation is finding it out One would' think from the way these school children talk about hygiene and what to eat and what not! to eat and how to cook it that there was no need for auy body to die if they would conform to science. And it is a fact that life can be prolonged in this way and I am glad the children have such books to etudy. "The proper study of mankind ia man." Our greatest lack is a knowledge of ourselves. How few of us ever stop to think and say, "What am I w made me what for -and wnitheram 1 going?" How few ever ponder upon what the mad prince said ; What a piece of work is man; how noble in leason : how infinite in facul ties ; the form and moving, how express and admirable ; in ac tion how like an angel ; in apprehension how like a God." It is enough to alarm a man to see his own machinery; there Is nothing to compare with it, in all contrivance or invention. We see it all in these manikins in these beautiful charts all but one thing the soul, the will, the fountain of thought. Tak) out the brain and examine it with a microscope, and the soul is not there, nor the will nor a single thought. Newtoa told us why an apple fell to the ground, but no oue has ever told me why my will closed my hand or extended my arm. I got to ruminating about these things sometimes, and . my thoughts rise abov the sordid thiugs of earth, and soar away to the confines of immortality, they don't stay .there long, I wish they weuld,. but my hu manity draws me down ardl soon find myself devising some plan or some scheme to make a itile more money. The love of money is the great motor and censor aud flexer and ex ensor of our anatomy. Last Sunday night Sam Jones was trying to get his people to raise two hundred dollars for some missio i schools up in the moun tains, and they didn't respond with alacrity, and Sam got mad and said : "I see in The At lanta Constitution a picture of an elephant riding round, on a quarter of a dollar, and I know right now where Cark Howell got that idea. He got it from you Cartersville Methodists. Some of you are worth twentv and thirty and forty thousand dollars, and you strut around and feel as big as an elephant, aud are trying to roll into heaven on a quarter of a dollar. If this here railroad that runs to Atlanta went straight ou to heaven, and you had got your consent to go, you would try to dead-head your way, and Sand- ford Bell would put vou oil before you got to the Etowah bridge. Oh, the love of money the p.eril, the curse, j the ruin of the Soul!" Did bam raise the money ? Of course ha did He always does. Sometimes it takes a power of abuse and bull-dozing, but he gets it ana nobody is hurt, and honors are naflv. The best thin for a prudent niau to do on such oc casions is not to go, or else to go and put down liberally at the start, and. then j set back complacently and listen at Sam abuse the others until they get ashamed and shell out. A man can stand lacerated feelings or & lacerated Docket, but there's no good sense in enduring both, One night I went to a Bible society, and I knew they would take up a collection, aDd so 1 put a silver dollar m my Ddcket. But Sam happened to be the collector, and he stood up there and assessed us all, and told the clerk to put me down for $5, and I had it to pay the next day. But I've never missed it no, I've, never missed it. George I. Seney gave 100,000 to Emory College, and shortly after that he failed and, I thought he had been over-liberal with his money, but he went to work and paid his debts aud is now richer than ever. "There ia that scat terethandyet increaseth."But a man should give willingly and with good intent. His charity must not be twisted out of him. The way Sam Jones gets' some of them is like a rabbit in a hollotv tree. You get a' long hickory, and split the end, and run it up the hollow ! and feel of him, and twist a little, and for a good while you get noth ing but hair, hut by and by the stick gets fastened in his skin, and you pull him down as he saueals. Brer Rabbit would be better off if he had sense enough to come down without twisting. But a good many folks are built that way. Bill art "IE1 ALL THE WILSON, WILSOx COUNTY. iORTII CAROLINA.

Sup pose both eyes were ail right, what would he not discover ! Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, carries a level hand. Kecently when asked to give his opinion about i the . race question, he said: "I agree with Zsb Vance when he says "Hand off." And again eays the uovernor, this time to the Hon.

The ' following is a brother editor's idea of retributive justice : "An editor works 365i days per year to get out 52 issues of paper ; that s labor Once in a while somebody pays him a year's subscription that s capital. And once in a while some son or a-gun or a dead beat takes the paper for a year or two and vanishes with out paying for It ; that's an archy.

"' ; " " ' : :o: " - MA TTERS OF INTEREST TO TILLERS OF THE SOIL. Original, liorrotved. Stolen a.nd Communicated Articles on Farming.' Thinning and working -'cotton. Cotton should be brought to a nnal stand now as soon as possible. When two cotton stalks side by side, one wants exactly what the other does. i.erw is suarp competition do- , t ween me two, and the sooner this competition is removed the better. A cotton j stalk standing hy itself is like a tree standing alone in an i open space. It branches low, down, it spreads in sver does not grow so very symmetrical, balance each other direction, tall, but is Its ! limbs ou every side aud when heavily fruited less apt to fall down. It also fruits earlier. We believe in giving cotton good distance. It is a sun plant ; let the sun shine freely on each stalk. When drought comes, especially if It comes suddenly, cotton sheds its fruit give it good distance so that it may have a greater amount of soil from which to draw moisture. What reason is there in using up plant-food to make two or three stalks (for it takes plant-food to make stalks as well as bolls when one stalk can develop just many bolls as. the three stalks can. A stalk of cotton is liiniited in the number of , bolls it can bear only by the amount of food and moisture it can get and the length of the growing season. On any fairly good land, such as will pay for cultivatiou cot ton planted in checks 4x3 will fill out the whole space if the season is favorable. ' A great advantage in- giving ample space to cotton is the saving of hce work. When the stalks are near together a hand must make his lick with great care to avoid cutting or bruis ing the cotton. He can move alonp- almost as fast again whn the cotton ia widely spread. The time consumed in getting away grass from right aronnd the stalk is doubled when twie as many stalks are left, and every farmer knows how much trouble the grass in a hill of cotton gives. The grass that comes up with the cotton the May grass keep an eye on this grass, it is the most troublesome of all. It is very important now to plow over Cotton quite frequen tly, every week if possible. Set tbe wings of the scraped quite flat and run them very near to the stalks. When well done this will smother and undermine a good deal of that May grass and reduce the amount of hoe-work very de cidedly. "Jhe best hand and the best trained mule or horse should be put to this work. An animal that walks rapidly is not suited to this work ; rapid motion causes the plow to flirt too much dirt, and interferes with its being held steadily and exactly to Its place. Moderately deep plowingTillnot hurtmuch now, but if the soil ia soft and friable it is not necessary. On such soil a scrape Tunning one inch deep will accomplish all that is necessary. The practice is becoming more and more general to cultivate cotton from beginning to end with shallow running scrapes. W L J. in Atlanta Constitution. v , ' WHO OWNS .THE FARM ? Leland Stauford says the essence of ownership is control. He applied this statement to railroads, and intended to say that whoever controlled and administered the revenues of the roads was particularly their owner. We suppose that is as aplicable to farms as it is to railroads. Whoever controls and administers their revenues possesses the essence of own ership. If o'ife can conltol revenues without the brother of nominalownership without the trouble of repairs, taxes, insurance, and without the ex pense and labor of cultivation; certaiply he has found the essence of ownership in fact, the toil of it, the soul of it. Has any natural or artificial person found this ? In trying to solve this question we pubs lih the following account of sales of one acre of corn : SALES. Oae car corn. 674 busb. , 36 lbs, at 22ii. per bush $149.96 charges ' Freight, $58.56; inspection, 62 33 Total uet product.. $87.63 It will b9 seen that the freight on-above car of corn amounts to a little over 8 J cents per bushel. This is the grovsS ehare the railroad com pany gets. Its net share is AND TUUTIIS'. '': about half that amount, or' 4J cents per bushel. Now, let .us see how much the farmer gets out of it. This corn was raised in Cass county, and it'is fair to suppose that the land' it was raised on is worth 830 oer acre, it was raised In a good corn year,.and it is fair to sup pose the yield was about 50 bushels -per acre. The account then would stand thus r- Rent per acre. $2.50 Plowing , . . . . l.oo Harrowing.. . , .25 Planting. . . . .... .". '.V. . 50 1 Seed................... .. 101 Plowing three times.......

In expense must be reduced $2.85 per acre and it cannot be done: Bnt on that same corn on which the farmer loses in unrecom pensed labor nearly five cents per bushel, the railroad makes a het gain of 4 cents per bushel. Now you -know who owns the farm. The railroad owns it, and owns it by virtue of the laws the people have made and the laws the people have neglected to make. . Without any investment, - without any taxes, repairs, insurance, with out any bother of any sort from nominal ownership, the roads take a net income of $2.75 to $3.50 per acre on every fifty bushels of corn shipped over their lines. This ii what Mr. Standford called 'the essence of ownership,'' and he knew what he" was' talkie about.--Farmers' Alliance. .

' We are pleased to learn that the prpspects for a good crpp are very flattering. We have had nice seasons and crops of all kind are in a .flourishing condition. We heard a pro mi-, nent gentleman, who has been in all parts of Nash recently, say the other day that Nash county would blossom as a rose this year and make more than she ever had made before. Madison Hawkins, Esq., census supervisor of this dis trict, was in town several days ago appointing 'enumerators'. We learn that .he gave his ap pointments to men competent to fill th (position, who, of course, were Democrats, and as a consequence a string of curses both loud and deep comes from the iaithful in the Radical ranks. Great preparations are going on at the Carolina Mala and Female Institute for the com mencement which will be the 18tb and 19th of June. ' The address will be delivered by H. W.

Rev. R. P. Pell preached two excellent sermons at the Carov Una Institute Sunday. This talented young minister is gain ing a warm place in- the hearts of the citizens or this .commut nity. We were surprised to read in the letter of the Raleigh cor respondent ,of the Wilmfgton Messenger, of several days ago that E. W. Lyon and 8. M. Alvord were the owners of the Mann-Arrington gold mine in this county? This is certainly news to Nash county. The Arm of Campbell & Lyon are large owners of the property. Mr, Alvord, a gentleman fro Borton, who is now in North Carolina investing largely in North Carolina property, has nothing to do with the mine. The other owners fare wealthy gentlemen from Pitsburg, Pa. We learn that a good strike has been made in the. lower workings of tbe Mann-Arrings ton mine showing that the vein is a continuous' one. Jim (- Leonard, who i prospecting for Messrs. Campbell & Lyon at their Woodard mine, has made a big strike on a new vein just discovered. He has opened up six feet in width of fiTOOd-.or and not. tlirrsiiLrli i the vein yet. k o A good' many of our , citizens attended the play, "The Confed erate Spy,'' at Whitakess, and report a good time aud an en joyable affair. There seems to be some what a stir in politics in Nash.

We guaran tee to say that there is not a more efficient set of. of ficers, iand withal a cleverer set of gentlemen than those who fill the offices in Nash county anywhere in the State. The magistrates at their next meeting are to elect a Super perintendent of 1'ublic Instruc tion, a position of great respon sibility; a position that requires experience, work and careful attention to duty. In that po sition should be a man who keeps abreast "of the tiinds, who keeps up with the forward march of that great cause. I think Nash county has such a man as her Superintendent. In Major L. M. Conyers, the pres ent incumbent, we have a man who is honored, respected and esteemed at home and abroad. The recognition of his merit was fitly shown iu his 'being elected Vice-President at the teachers' assembly at Morehead last summer. He ever attends all associations, either home or abroad, that seek to build up the cause of education iu which he is so dteply interested. The magistrates of Nash county would certaiuly mike a mis take should they change an ex perienced "warrior tried" for some one who ' would need to use his whole term to acquire enough experience to put on his armor. Capt. R. F. Drake, a cralliant soldier of the late war, very acceptably fills the position of iieuister of Deeds. Capt. Drake not only makes a capital register but is withal one of the most gonial and politest of officers. John T. Morgan, our Clerk of Superi r Court, is before the people again. Judga Morgan has made a record as clerk sur passed by none.- No 'blot or stain tarnishes his knightly escutcheon. No one says nor can say he has uot been a faith ful and efficitnt public servant. t is sometimes urgeu aim in now urged by office seekers that man who has had office for two terms should retire, l hi s to our mind the essence of humbug. Why should not an acceptable, experienced officer be elected time after time. His experience enables him to per- brm his duties. We say let eq,ch man stand on his own merits and it being a question of merit the present officers be should and we think will re-nominated and triumphant ly re-elected. " Ben " Nashville, N.
