B. posts is simply the same old fanaticism which de veloped so rapidly in 1S60-'G1 as to precipitate war. Though claim iag, to be a non-political organiza tion politicians are making inroads OB it and stirring up feelings o( bitterness and strife. But the acts of these Un.u icf, if we mistake not, will be turned to the advantage of the President, even with a large portion of the TTnion soldiers who compose the O. A. R. They recognize the fact that the President is at the head oi the government ; that he holds the highest office within the gift of the people and any insnlt offered to. him is offered to the people of the whole country. If our country should ever be carsed with crril war it will come from jast such fanatics, who very often find their ooonterpftits in the old fire eaters of the South. When the pension attorneys and politicians get con trol of the O. A. B. as they seem to have at many of the posts, it will be converted into a mere political machine . and its usefulness and erfgiaal purposes be destroyed.

President Cleveland having ac cepted an invitation to visit St. Louis at the time of the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, has, by reason of ex pressions emanating from various Posts and individual members of the Grand Army of the Republic, reconsidered his determination to visit Sr. Louis at that time, and gives his reason therefor in a letter to Mayor PR A N c i s which we pub lis h below. It is so manly and pa triotic in sentiment that even the palsied FAinmiLi) will feel ashamed of the acts of his comrades when he reads it. KEttiye Mansion. Washington. .July 1, 17, t Ho. Daniel A. JYtinei, Mayor and Chairman : My Dear Sir, When I received the extremely cordial and gratify ing invitation from the citizens of St. Louis tendered by a number of herrepreaentati ve-men, to visit that city during the national encamp ment of the Grand Army of ttfe Re public, I had lxen contemplating for some time the acceptance of an invitation from that organization to the same effect, and had con sidered the pleasure it woold afford me if it should be possible to meet not only the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, but the peo ple of St. Louis and other cities m the West, which the occasion would gie mo an opportunity ti visit. The exactions of my public duties I felt to be so uncertain, however, that when first confronted by the delegation of which you were the head, I expected to do no more at that time than to promise the con sideration of the double invitation tendered me, and express the pleas ure it would give me to accept the same thereafter, if possible. But the cordiality and sincerity of your presentation, reinforced by the heartiness of the good people who surrounded yon, so impressed me that I could not resist the feeling which prompted me to assure you on the spot that I would be with yon and the Grand Army of the Republic at the time designated, if nothing happened in the meantime to absolutely prevent my leaving Washington. Immediately upon the public an nouncement of this conclusion ex pressions emanating from certain important members of the Grand Army of the Republic, and increas ing in volume and virulence, con strained me to review my accep tance of these invitations. The expressions referred to go to the extent of declaring that 1 would be an unwelcome guest at the time and place of the national encamp ment. This statement is based, as well as I can judge, upon certain official acts of mine, involving im portant public interests, done under the restraints and obligations of my oath of office, which do not ap pear to accord with the wishes of some members of the Grand Army of the Republic. 1 refuse to believe that this or ganization, founded upon patriotic ideas, composed very largely ot men entitled to lasting honor and con sideration and whose crowning glory it should be that they are American citizens a.s well as voter an soldiers, deems it a part of its mission to compass any object or purpose by attempting to intimi date the Executive or coerce those charged with making and executing the laws. And yet the expressions to which 1 have referred indicate such a prevalence of unfriendly feeling and such a menace to an oc casion which should be harmonioua, peaceful, and cordial, that thev cannot be ignored. I beg you to understand that I am not conscious of any act of mine which should make me fear to meet the Grand Army of the Republic or any other assemblage of any fellow-citizens. The account of my official stewardship ia always ready for presentation to my coun tryman. I should not be frank if I failed to confess, while disclaiming all resentment, that I have leen hurt by the unworthy and wanton at tacks upon me growing out of this matter, and the reckless manner in which my actions and motives have been misrepresented, both publicly and privately, for wnich, however. the Grand Army ot the Republic. as a body, is by no means respon sible. The threats of personal violence and harm in case 1 undertook the trip in question which scores ol misguided, unbalanced men, under the stimulation of excited feeling, have made arc not even con sidered. Rather than abandon mv visit to the West and disappoint your citi zens, I might, if I alone were con cerned, submit to the insult to which, it is quite openly asserted, I would be helplessly subjected if present at the encampment. But I should bear with me there the peo ple's highest office, the dignity of which I must protect, and I believe that neither the Grand Army of the Repablic as an organization, nor anything like a majority of its members, would ever encourage any scandalous attack upon it. If, however, among the memU'r ship of this body there are some, as certainly seems to be the case, de termined to denounce me and my official aets at the national encamp ment, I believe they should 1m.' per mitted to do so unrestrained by my presence as a guest of their organi zation or as a guest of the hospi table citv in which their meeting is held. A number ot Grand Army posts have signified their intention, I am informed, to remaiu away from the encampment in case I visit the city at that time. Without considering the merit of such an excuse I feel that I ought not to be the cause of such non-attendance. The time and place of the encampment were fixed long Ivefore my invitations were received, luose desiring to participate in its proceedings should be first regarded and noth ing should be permitted to inter fere with their intentions. Another consideration oi more importance than ail others remains to be noticed. The fact was referred to by you when you ver bally presented the invitation of the citizens of St. Louis that the coming encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic would be the first held in a Southern State. I suppose this fact was mentioned as a pleasing indication of the fra ternal feeling so fast gaining ground throughout the entire land and hailed by every patriotic citizen as an earnest that the Union has really and in fact been saved in '""''; sentiment and 'spirit with all the benefits it vouchsafes to a united people. I cannot rid myself of the lel:ef that the least discord on this pro pitious occasion might retard the progress of the sentiment of com mon brotherhood which rhe Grand Army of the Republic has so good an opportunity to increase and foster. 1 certainly ought nut to be the cause of such discord in any exeut or upon any pretext. It seems to me that you and the citizens of St. Louis are entitled to this unreserved statement of the conditions which have constrained me to forego my contemplated visit and to withdraw my acceptance of your invitation. My presence in jour city at the tune you have in dicated can be of but little moment compared with the importance of a cordial and harmonious entertain ment of your other guests. I assure you that I abandon my plan without the least personal leeling except regret, constrained thereto by a sense of duty, actuated by a desire to save any embarrass ment to the people of St. Louis or their expected guests, and with a heart full of grateful appreciation of the sincere and unaffected kind ness of your citizens. Hoping the encampment may be an occasion of much usefulness, and that its proceedings may," illus trate the highest patriotism of xVmerican citizenship. I am yours very sincerely. Gkoyer ( leyki.and. A NORTH CAROLINA SYSTEM PoS. SI RUE. There n some talk about the rumor that the Cape Fear and Vakin Valley Railway will at an early day make an attempt to lease the Atlantic & North Carolina Rail way and operate it, after construc ting a line from Goldsboro to Eay etteville or Sandford, so as to throw the entire system together. It is a a big plan, but one whose accomplishment is very uncertain. Nevertheless, it is talked about as a possibility. It is Gov. Scales' s desire, evidently, to see the North Carolina and the Atlantic & North Carolina Railway thrown into one system. In connection with the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail road there are rumors that it may at an early day change owners. A prominent railway official tells me that such action would not surprise him, and that much of the capital is that of parties living out of the State. Yet the C. F. cc Y. V. is one of the most distinctly North Carolina roads, and its manage ment is certainly admirable. Its development since 18&'i is one of the features in railway history. Raleigh Cor. Wil. Messenger. Why not take steps in time to secure the consolidation of all these roads, the A. & N. C, the C. F. . . and the N. C. If the State would either sell her interest in the A. & N. c. to the C . F. A: . . or lease for a number of years with the proper safeguards for the State's interest in the N. C. K. iu less than fifteen years from today we wouh have a State system of railway that would build up the ports of New Berne and Morehead City and make the latter place what nature in tended it to be a great seaport town. But to secure this much lor the State of North Carolina is more success than one (.jovernor can bear. So we agree with the Mes senger correspondent, that '"it is : big plan, but one whose accom plisbment is very uncertain." 0MI.AT10NS IN ORDEIt.

Out of this, unless! the horse can le profitably em j ployed for the remaining seven mouths, the horse will have to be fed at an expense of at least f i per i month oi !. leaving but ?1 7 to! feed and cloth the fanner and his i tainily. At .-fog profit to the horse farm, and counting .'ioo wcrk days to the year, wo have the startling (act that we are making but ITots. per day.

At L'."i bushels per acre and allowing 1 j for nub bins, the net profit per acre would be 5.S0 or ?-'.'i2, for a 40 acre farm. As I stated in the first calculation 124 bushels is the average for a large number of farmers, and the fact is demonstrated to us that we can not hire labor to cultivate them. The farmer w ho sits back in his house, or rides around expecting to cut a swell on land that produces but 124 bushels per acre (the gen eral average) ami hires his hands at oO cents a day, will have to spend less thau 17 eeuts per day to keep within the pale of his income and that too when the sunshine and showers arc unremitting in their favors to his crops. Contin gencies in the way of storms, hail, cyclones, etc. would leave him with out money or means of subsist ence. What are w e to do! Let us sup pose a case. A says I won't hire but will do all my work myself. Ho takes 20 acres, his land produces 124 bush els corn per acre or a net profit ol 1 ..'iu per acie. He scores in the item of expeli.se.i 'T.'t.lU per acre which added to the 1..)I profit makes 1.-40 proli t per acre, and -js.s profit ou 20 aertfs. Thus he gains on the P who hire-- his hands f.;G per horse farm or about 70 per cent. It the land would produce 2." bushels per acre A would make llti: B $2 ."", show ing that to profitably employ labor our lands must be good producers, over the average yield of a large class of farms all over the country. The question then atiM-s will it pay to manure our poor lands, and by artificial means make them more productive! I will leave that ques tion open, and ask some good tanner to demoustrate to our mind by facts and figures the pro or con ot this question. J. W. S. Catharine Lake Items.

A very interesting paragraph in a recent number of the Fr r Press, entitled "Why Women Pail as Em ployes." and one which deserves attention from our lady readers. The paragraph in question states that women should regard them selves as entities, put into this world for a purpose, and that pur pose not matrimony alone. These words, I think, ought to be empha sized. There can be no more foolish and mischievous notion than that uiMioui in image woman s Jilt: is a ra The idea that it is so some- e- e:. ils to terrible harm. A !. -s i , Milage is lar more to be regie', ednes 'Dap' pa gat i Kin a liie ot single bless itu in full accord with en this. The idea pro imehow or other that iriage a woman's life is leads to a marriage pes.- ib'e to i esu'.t in hap- d withou: a failai which is lini'ss. n i in. most ll-e ether hand some of the al, mo.st'bright ami beau tiful of our women are those who have not married. There are open , iugs in many ways for woman's activity. Win-fever helps her to say that she can be useful, oven though not married, is a help, and Mhe wider the right opening, pro vided it is all womanly, the more she is able to help in human well ; being. One cause of the unhap piness of married people is their want of confidence in each other. Another cause, I think, is very : often that the man's education is in advance oi tho woman's. This should not be, because there is no ' bar made against the education ' and culture of w omen. The edu cation of tho man and woman . should proceed with equal steps, and more educated the the man the more educated the woman; only let it be seen that 'kthe culture of each includes what each most nteds fur mental and socia- benefit and pleasure. Cuhapl jiraess again results, 1 fancy a man marrying a girl with a pretty face niiy. Character is the true wo manly beauty. A pretty lace is very well, but with a characterless countenance it is simply a disap pointment ami an illusion. A pine and beautiful character lights up t!ie plainest countenance and is something far more winning and attractive than mere prettiness. Our giils should pay attention to mental culture.
