THE RUGBEIAN SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1882. Whither Goest Thou ? Dim child of eirth ! With eye uprais'd to heaven, No record of thy birth . To thee is given : The rooking of thy cradle are hut known To One alone. Thou scok'st to fathom lur that hidden past ; To reach the shore thine infant bcin.g bounding-:. In vain thy plummet toward the abyss is cast. The line's too short fur such a deep-sen sounding. But the eternal future lies before thee: Whence thou dost come 'tis plain we cannot know ; But thro' the cloud that spreads its shadows ' o'er thee, Say, whither dost thou go P What realm unknown, thro' all the bright creation, Shall he thy dwelling-place P Where, rapt in joy and holy aspiration, Thou shalt behold His face. We point our telescope to search the ages : We find no star ! Thou pondercst over revelation's pages, What read'st thou there P Upon that page one written line I see ; The hand I kuiw : "Where I am, there my servant, too, shall be." To Him I go. 8. Greg. COMMENTS. Thursday, October 5th, will be the second anniversary of the opening of the llugby colony. The following numbers of the Iluglcian are wanted by a subscriber 15, 40, 41. Can any one oblige him P The Rev. James M. Wilson, of Clifton, England, who was in Rugby a few weeks ago. on his return home wrote to the London Daily News a long account of his visit. Next week we will insert some of his remarks. Mr. Alfred Kimhcr, of New York City, arrived at the beginning of the week. He represents his brother, Mr. Henry Kimber, and was in Rugby upon important business in connection with the colony and the mortgagees, lie left on Friday for Cincinnati. The Rev. F. E. Tuke, "vicar of Borden. Kent,' England, arrived here a few days ago, on a visit to his son, Mr. C. Tuke, and for the purpose of seeing Rugby. We have pleasure in announcing that the reverend gentleman will conduct the service at Christ Church to morrow (Sunday) morning, and celebrate the Holy Communion. Mr. Blacklock's fields being -'white unto the harvest," a corn fodder party, or "bee," was formed last Wednesday, a number of Rugbcians assisting in carrying the weighty. baggage of the goddess Ceres home to her barn. Mrs. Blacklock kindly and well provided "fodder" tor the workers, which we should also judge, knowing the harvesters, to have been a serious affair. This is a pun. Revival services have been in full force lately at Sedgemoor, freguent and long meet ings being held. We understand the con ductors have been much encouraged. At Huntsville, in the adjoining county, four young men froin Lexington, Ky., have also been holding revival meetings, in connection with the Presbyterians. They propose spending a year in similar mission work. In Fentress county some revival mission work, is also pro gressing, but our correspondent has not yet sent us particulars. The Rugby Public Purposes Association is very quiet, but if this arises from there being nothing requiring attention, it is, perhaps, well for the colony. At the approaching annual meeting, which we see by the consitu tiou "shall be held on the first Wednesday in October," we suppose a report will be rendered of the work done by the various committees, the amount subscribed to the Association, and the money expended, with any other business that has come within its range. We should not let this Association hecpine a dead letter, but such it will become unless the members occasionally meet to discuss affairs concerning the welfare of the colony, and generally create an interest in the objects of the Association. There has been no meeting lor some months. "There is a happy land, far, far away," in Maryland, rejoicing in the name of "Klej (Srange," where a particularly fatherly and motherly;control is exercised over its colonizers, reminding us, when we think of our lot in" Rugby, of the advice that it is "better to bear the ills we have" than fly to those we read of in the pamphlet we have before us. In the advice to settlers at Klej Grange, we read: "Your occupation will be such as you agree to select and specify before purchasing and you will not be permitted to conduct any other business on the property without written permission from the landowner. Market Gardening, Fruit Culture, Poultry, and Stock are to be in the above order the chief pursuits upon yhich the Colony shall depend for success, and if you do not succeed in the branch of Fanning you select, the owner of the land reserve; ; the right to direct what other branch of farming you shall follow All buildings of auy kind must have the approval of the Superintendent before their erection, all buildings to remain undisturbed if the party move." Further on we see "It is proposed to cr-a ,ise a Union church and Sunday school and each family will be required to pay nt least $5 per year for this object." There are other regulations, all showing, with those w e have named, that we are Tint so badly off in Rugby as we might be, and as others are, ciew iwre. Personal. -Dr. C. P. Kemp returned home to Rugby, from Winchester, Mass., on the '22m inst., and is staying at the Brown House Mr. Knrle, brother of Mr, A. H. Kurle, so well known in Rugby last year, has arrived from England. Mr. IJ. Campbell, of Lon don, England, with his nephew, Mr. W. J. Campbell, of Middlcport, Ohio, is at the Browu House. Mr. and Mrs., Bowden and Mr. Gait din, of Jamestown, passed through Rugby on Saturday, lor Cincinnati and its Exposition. Mr. Pardon has been to Cincinnati this week. Mr. J. W.'tjfilcs has left East Rugby for lloifman's Switch, to be principal in the public school of the new district embracing that part of the. county. The Rev. F. E. Tuke, of Borden Rectory Kent, England, arrived here on Wednesday. Mr. Johnson, of Kalamazoo, Mich., returned home on Thursday, much pleased with our district. Mr. Ross Browu returned home to Rugby on Thursday. Mr. Kemp has been to Cincin nati this week. Mr, J. Spurrier left Rugby last week, for Cincinnati. Visitors at the "Tabard" this week : Mrs. A. B.

Special to the 1 1 Although YViirtliuro; is tin? county Ktyt, things will necessarily he slow at times, with hut litl.lo to report to the hig world outside, Hut how large the little .surroundings of life seem to those immediately Concerned! There is a dignity about our town, however, which you do not possess in Kugby, because here Justice sits enthroned, and crime comes, or is brought, to receive its "just recompense of reward." The latest case was John doffs, last Satur day. He was charged with assault and hattery at one of the sta ve factories, and failing to find bail, was lodged in the county hotel. Tho proprietors of the Central Hotel'' have discarded their very modest sign, and now present to public view a ten-foot board with gilded letters, which does not signify, however, that the boarding prices have been gilded above the usual rates. May the new sign increase the custom of the Central Hotel ! The editor of the Plateau and his .bride have returned home from atrip to Chattanooga, and soon we may hope to once again sec his newspaper. He must be kept up to tho promises so often made, of appearing "every Satur day." I will conclude with a dance that occurred at the Court-house the other night, which owing to some of our hot blood getting too hot, necessitated the intervention of the Deputy Sheriff, who turned the too exuberant dancers out of doors. Reilection and seidlitz pow ders next morning cooled down the night's turmoil. Z. The Puyheian next Saturday will he a Rugby anniversary number. It will con tain two first-class engravings, one of the Hughes' Public Library, engraved by the Moss Engraving Company of New York, and one of the "Meeting of the Waters," published s nue time ago in Harpers' Magazine, and kindly lent to us by the Hoard of Aid, through Mr. Walton. The Puyheian will also be printed on special, and line paper, and contain much of interest that will 'suitably make it an anniversary edition. The moderate fertility of most of the soil of East Tennesese may lie mentioned as one of the features in which it resembles 2ew England. In point of fertility the eastern is behind the mid- die ana western in visions ot the state. A more enlightened system of fanning would secure far better results., for the soil responds kindly to generous treat ment. As in other parts of the South, the landscape is too often disfigured by "old fields," yielding only "sedge grass," green briars, sassafras saplings, and old field pines, and seanvd with gullies that grow deeper year by year. But a new leaven is at work. Here and there a. farmer, more progressive than his brethren, is teaching by .example .the good effects of judicious manuring ami rotation of crops. The quality of some of the staples produced in this section is excellent. East Tennessee wheat is unsurpassed by any, and the same may he said of all the root :'ops. Though not equal as a grazing country to sudi sections as tin blue grass .regions of Kentucky, many parts are well adapted to the wising of sheep and larger stock, notably the Cumberland plateau. Sew York I inh penitent. The term Lynch Law, as comnionlv in use in the United Slates, is a per sonification of violent and illegal justice. According to some authorities, the term was derived from a Virginia farmer named Lynch. Hut it can be traced to a much earlier date, hi Ireland. When, in 1493, James Fitzstefihens Lynch was Mayor and Warden of Galway, he traded largely with Spain, and scut his son thither for a cargo of wine. The young man squandered the money in trusted to him, but succeeded in running into debt for a canro to n Spaniard, by whose nephew he was accompanied in the return voyage to Ireland, where the money was to be paid. Young Lynch, to conceal his defalcation, caused the Spaniard to be thrown overboard, and was received at homo with great honor. Hut a sailor revealed to tho Mayor of Calway the crime which his son had committal The young man was tried before his own father, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. His family and others determined to prevent the execution. The father, finding that the sentence could not be carried into effect the usual way, conducted his son to a win dow overlooking the public street, with his . own hands fastened the halter attached to his neck to a staple in the wall and acted as his executioner. In the council books of Calwny there is said to be a minute that James Lynch. Mayor of Cal way, hanged his son, out of the window, for defrauding and killin.r strangers, without martial or corumou law, to show a good iviUU,,l0 t(, lsterity. St. Louis GUjc-Uehmcrat. FARMING IN THE NORTH WEST. Tllli OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTU11E. Only spring wheat can ever be raised up here, and spring wheat is all that the people think, talk, and dream of. The famous Dalryinple farm is surely a success. It is said to have- 27,000 acres under the plough and in wheat. The farm is supposed to lie really owned by the railroad company that has the 3,000,000 acres of laud for sale. Col. Dalrymple is a splendid organizer and executive officer, and when he has the treasury of a railway company for a base, he well may be. The farm is the largest advertising scheme in this country, ami as such is a most decided success. But, as a remunerative paying farm, it is a failure. It did not come near paying expenses last year. Small farmers in the middle and eastern States may be. sure to make a complete failure here in attempting to farm with one solitary crop, that of spring wheat. They have no railroad treasury to fall back upon," nothing but theirowu exertions and scanty means. If the corporation farm fails to pay expenses, how can they expect to make money under the many disadvantages that they have to contend with? 1 made particular enquiry as to the effect of this repeated wheat cropping upon the fertility of the .soil, and learned thai jive or six crops will ruin and exhaust the land ; and there is nothing whemcith to reyenerate it. A rotation of crops, which the eastern and southern farmer brings to renew the strength of his soil, is here an utter ivi jmsitrihty. Com ca not be raised the season is far too short even for the dwarf varieties of New England. Oats and barley arc raised to some extent, but they will only further impoverish the soil that refuses to produce wheat. The ether remedy, manuring, is out of the question, because no stock-raising is attempted here, where for fully six months a deep snow imprisons man and beast alike in their houses, and where not even provender can be raised in sufficient quantities to keep the stock through winter. Hay of the poorest and commonest quality is sold from $25 to $30 a ton in the rich Red River valley. One may ride miles and miles and not see a solitary cow ; indeed, the number of people who- keep milch cows is very small, and the eastern milk condtnxiuy jadorus have. here a good profitable market. JJalcUa Letter to Kansas City Journal. INDUSTRIAL CONVENTION. A circular has been issued by Com missioner Hawkins from the office of the Tennessee Bureau of Agriculture, Statistics, Mines and Immigration, dated N'ashville, September 20th, 1882, in which he says : "Arrangements have been made for holding a Convention of Land Owners in Tennessee, and persons who are desirous of making investments in M iuing, Manufacturing and Agricul tural Property in our State. This Convention will meet at Mont eagle Springs, in Marion County, on the 17th day of October, and will probably continue for three or four days. I have assurances of a large attendance of gentlemen from the Northern States who will come for the purpose of con ferring face to face with the citizens of our State, with the view of making in vestments and seeking homes in our midst. Every citizen of the State, who has inducements to offer, or who wishes to encourage immigration to, and de velopment of the resources of Tennessee, is invited to attend and will be received as a delegate. It is hoped there may be a full attendance of representative men from all parts of the State. Come and meet with our visitors from abroad and tell them of the grand advantages of our State. Take them with you to our magnificent forests, to our rich initios. to our fertile fields', to our manu facturing sites and bid them to nnr for themselves.

Tho notion that steamships may be suddenly stopped by a brake, as railroad trains are, seems queer at first, but a Boston Yankee has found a contrivance for this purpose, and has applied and tested it with apparently perfect success. His invention consists of a pair of shutters, hinged on either side of the vessels stern post, so that they will remain closed against the vessel until an apparatus, whose control is in the pilot-house, opens them and fixes them at right angles to the ship's course.
