THE Colorado Farmer says : Some peo ple do not seem to realize the importance of agriculture iu our affairs us a nation, or bow it is the real fouudution of alt trade nd commeiCt). The farmers, tobacco and cotton planters, and the raii-e.s of beef, cftttle and hogs f urmshed seventy. three par cent, of all the. exports that contributed the basis of our exchange with foreign coon, tries daring the past year.

He Rays we are not far from being right about the way that body will vote. What we can learn from his tetter is that the. Farmers Alliance will sup. port the Democratic ticket; but they want that party to put a farmer in the field. There is nothing wrong in that part of their faith. We are ure there are farmers in the rotate that will make good officers. There are also men in the Union who have guided the plow that would fill the Presidential Cliair with credit to themselves and to their party. ' We, like the Alliance, believe that our Govern nient should be run by men who know something of labor, and in 181)2 we hope to sec a laboring man ns the nominee of the Democrat io party. If such a ruau be pat before the people, we predict one of the most glorious Democratic victories iu 1802 that has ever graced the pages of his tory. The provisional government of Brazil, having pent off the old Emperor with a fund of $2,fOO.Ot0 in cash and an annual income besides set itself to work to remodel affairs. The Empire is supplanted by a Republic, bat until the intended measures can be carr.td into effect, the leader of the pievola ion annouLces that he will hold the ' reins and try his hand at governing. He declares that the several provinces shall be ' united into a federation of States, uuder the t.arue of the United States of Brazil, Each State shall have its own local govern meat. Each State shall ho rid one delegate to represent it in the Congress which is now called to meet. Until Congress ast-ern . bles the provisional government, will con. duct affairs. This is taking pattern after our own By stein. And they have even adopted stars and Biripes for their flag. So perinluH the last monarchy in America. Republican in. , Btituticns have surplauted the k uropean system of a kingly rule. The people are being emancipated from the tui-ulMom of old ideas. News and observer. The Ceutenuial celebration at Fayette , vile last week was a grand success in every way. Perhaps there was the largest num ber of people in attendance that ever gathered at one place iu Noth Carolina. The celebration was opened by Gov. Daniel G. Fowle, who, after an introduction from Jlayor ii.'W. Ray, arose and i-aid : "Mr, Mayor and citizens of North Caro. Jina, It is a proud tveut io. our history which we are celebrating. To stand to-day where North Carolina begun her member ubipof this great Union in one of the 1roudeht moments of my life.

A WONDEIi LAND. . Argonaut. . Piior fo tba war between the States, the South wa psrely an agricultural couutry. The Southern planter wkh slave labor could cheaply produce the great- poducta of -cotton aftd tobacco and raise his food supplies and iiate gbwndant leisure for mental culti. vatLin aud social enjoyment lie was brought up with the hauiu aud mental trend which peculiarly fitted him for ari. cultural pursuits twjd largely disqualifled him for engaging in other industries. 1 The North was recognized as the great nunu. faciunng section, and there Was no dispoNi tion in the South to ecxonch upoa what was looked upon as the speoial prerogative of that section. Theeoascqnences was that no attentiou was gireu to our vast mineral resources and our extraordinary manufac turing advantages.. We were satisfied to cultivate onr terms and let the North supply us with our manufactured goods. The institution of slavery constituted a barrier to immigration and resitted in excluding the manufacturer and njiuer of other sec. tions. Slavery was practically a black line drawn across the couutry which the people of the North and Enrope refused to cross, and which in fact they were not invited to crws with ery great cordiality. We did not need or seek immigration. The aboli tion of a very Las ckanged the whole order of Uiinc, removed tlie barrier to im migration, and the resuit has been a most wonderful change. In Che first place ovr own people being compelled to pursue their agriculture under an entirely new pystem and one to which they were strangers, began to cat about for other pursuits. They soon discovered that the South was rich in minerals above the wildest imasina tion of the most sanguine. The barrier to immigration being removed, the mea of enterprise and capital in the North and Europe commenced coming in, and to-&iy there is no section of the world making as rapid progress in every branch ot Industry as the South. The influx of capital may be couuted by the milhou every week and the greatness of our future none dare guess. We say tho South is a "Wonder Land." Its mineral resources are beyond compntn. tion. Its iron, coal, marble, buildiug stone, oopper and the precious metals are uu. equaled in vaiiety and quantity by any country under the sun. This is not an ex. travagant assertion but one which 'ho tacts will fully substantiate As an agricultural country it has no eqnaL We c:n pnxluoe ucee-sfully every crop grown in the North ana west, ana m addition thereto nuny valuable crops which those sections caunot produce. Cotton and all the fibrous plants, and the fiaoNt tobacco in, vbe world. We can also produce sugar, rict potatoes, both Irish aud sweet, peas, all ki nus of vegeta bles and fruits. It is the only sectiou of this Union which can grow everything necdel for food supplies and furnish every thing required in the nianutacturitiK indns tries. But even now the half is uot kuowu, much less told. Every day new discoveries of rich mineral deposits are being made, peculiar advantages for manufacturing enterprises . discovered, aud additional sources of profit in agriculture being found out. the field tor tha profitable invent nient of capital is daily widening. It is truly a land of surprises. We are iguorant of our own resources aud the world was ignorant of them. The extent aud valuj of these resources j.r&juuuptitto us and ALLIANCE MAN HEARD FROM Mr. Editor: You seem to impress upon the mind ot tne puOlic, in your last issue, that you have been asked how the Alliance will vote ? I would say your opinion as to how they will vote is not far from right, but not entirely so. We hold iu fond rememberau&i the fact that the inmost principles of Democracy has ever been to guard and defend the interest of the poor against combiued wealth of capitalist, yet it has been a body too unwildy. "Charity begins at home. So we, the farmers of North Carolina and (he South, have allied ourselves to bring what we have been talking about so long, 'litjual rights to all, and special rights to none." Our interest has not been trusted iu the hands of our truest friends. We will now begin to dig arouud onr own vine. yard and see if we cannot find some branches that Will bring forth fruit whicn will be plfiising to their motber-vine. We have awaken oltno too late, to find that we are saped of onr substance, by those who pretended to bo our friends. All other interest sems to flourish while ours is lacguishing. Poor crops and hard times are the cries of every locality. And ther is no hand to pity save Jehovah's, yet in His care a an ouedieut people, we submit our future, remembering tint lie has promised. "By the sweat of our fooa we shall eat bread." Our aim will bo m the next campaign to promote our own interest, by voting for those who have guided the plow and hoe, assured that there are none who under stands our toils and cares so well. We must believe with all our soul that he is a true man, and in sympathy with our cause. thou as a unit, We w ill go to the polls, every true Alli iuce man, aun support our friend, regarcLess of his former politics. It is men with a principle, that cannot be bought, which we are seeking now. Not party, particular. It we secure good men We need not fear the consoquences, all will be well. There is no cause to fear the probability of a Third party. The Farmers Alliance is made up with Democrats almost entirely. We will never forget our Mother Demoo. racy. It will always . e onr pleasure to have her represented in all our affairs. Sleep contented, out-sider. you are safe aud in good bauds. Alliance Wan. Mackey's Forry, Nov. 25, '80.

This U the kind you read, about, but the other is ike most popular in t&e realm of fact : "My ang-I, I have laug waited for this opportunity. You nitwit have detected trt now the growth of my ks ve for you. From the day I firt wet yon that love took root, and to night it Is strong au4 sturdy, uuwa. veriug, undying. Your sweet smnes have lighteil up my life, vour every word has becu to tne a note of exnieite music, thrill ing, enthralling me. You have filled a plat e iu usy neort, in my aneettons. tnai no ouo um ever before occupied. My lifelong happiiies depends s'Ouwy upon the auswei you give me. Say ym will be miuc to love carsss, idoliEe threagh time and cter. mty, and make mo of all men most envied. Bat, if you ref On, I cannot t I caunot ! lue thought is mad Hess. You will be my wife? I see the uswer of your heart mirrored in your lustrous eyes ; jouknv I love you as no otlier man ever loved you. or ever can love you, darliig. I kuow yOn will not thrust me off." The angel assumes a stereotyped realiy- tbis-is-so-scdaen expression, aud assures Mr. Wordie she would derive great pleas, ore from being kis sister. Here is the other way : "Maude, I've been thinking seriously lately." "Beally, Fred, you ought to bo more judicious than to do anything so rash a3 tha." "Yes, I know it is a heavy tax on my mental capacity, but then I was always reckless that way. This time, hawever, 1 think I have been thinking to some purpose. In fact, I have been thinking yon would not object to having your name changed," "When?" "Just as soon as possible." "Will it be home or chnrch f" "Church, of course: we waut to do this thing in style." "Have you asked pa?" "Certainly not. 1 don't want to marry your father." WelL I know; but for form's sake." "All right, dear; for form's sake, I will see pa, and maybe you had better prepare ma for the ordeal." "Oh, she won't mind it." Deep silence reigns again, save as it is broken by the soft sighing of the treetops, swayed by a gentle breeze. Gleefully the stars twinkle; the moon looks beamingly down from heaven to earth, aud discovers on a viue-bowered piazza two forms with but a single chair. USE ASD ABUSE OF THE FARM WORK.SHOP. American Agriculturalist. Aburd things are written ab mt tho farm work-shop. Ine farmer canuot be pro ficient in half a dozen trades, nor can his son do even fairly good carpenter or black' smith work without practice). Some people seem to think that nothing i-i necessary bat to get the tools, and the net dful skill will come with them. The absurdities written about the farm work. shop would not merit notice were they not likely to lead us too far in the other direction. It is not good policy to go to the black. s uith every time a piece of iron is to be meuded, or to tha carpenter to make ns a bench. The charges of the carpenter or black. smith aro of less importance than the loss of time. Every farmer who owns a large farm should have at least oue farm black-smith out lit. The farmer may not find it profitable to sharpen the plows, but he shou.d be able to Wrld or rivet together pieces of iron or steel; to ment chains, shauks of forks or ho. s, whif fletree clips, devices, etc., etc. He ought also to be able to make rings, links, hooks aud pins. The necessary tools cost little, and the skill necessary to such simple work is soon gained. In wood many simple job or repairing are easily done. It is by no means ccrtaiu that the farmer should not go farther in wood-working. Handles for axes, forks, rakes, etc,, whifH.'trees, and similar articles can probibly be bought more cheaply than the farmer can make them for, bnt gencr. ally he can maKe better than he can bny, and when he counts quality he will doubt less find his own work better than he can buy. lie can select the choicest timber and season it properly. It is a good practice to st.ve the toughei t, best pieotB when splitL iug out rails or posts. With mi assortment of copper rivets some awls, thread and wax, any strap about the harness can be joined. This much leather working is always profitable. If the farmer will give the tools to the boys, the tease of property will stimulate them to practice using them. One boy m ly have tha carpenter tools, another the black smith tools, etc. If the boys choose to use their tools on rainy days, when otherwise they might rest, alright; but don't compel them to. Making this extra work of course rea ders it distasteful. The hiut so frequently seen that with tools the boys can make or mend when they cannot d j farm work, is altogether bod. If made nse of, it will defeat your purpose every time. OUR CRESWELL LETTER. Creswell, N 0., Nov. 19, '89, Editor Roanoke Beacon : Everything is quiet in our city, hardly anything to chronicle.
