marriage valid ; tho plaintiff and defuu

marriage. The defendant deserted,

Farm sad Hone.
Debt hot ah Unmix kd Evil. "A
farmer owes it to himself and to bis
iamiiy, said mo doctor, "to nave a
good garden. There ia health and
economy in having a constant supply
Of a variety of vegetables." "That is
all very true," said the deacon, " but
most farmers have little time to attend
to the garden. Tbev must raise some
thing that will sell, or they could not
. pay their doctor'a bill." "Possibly,"
said I, "the doctor'a bill would be
leaa if tbe garden were larger." "It
is very well to talk in this way," suid
1L. J 111 . '
iuo ueacon, --out wucn a man is in
' debt be cannot always do what lie
would like to do. Tho destruction of
mo poor is tuuir poverty." Debt, is
icrnuio miDir, sain i. -'but it a
man is made of the right kind of metal
there are worse evils. If we could get
at ine lacts, x tuink it would be found
that comparatively low of tho real ac-
live, enterprising, energetic young
j armors are out ot ucut. it is ollcu
said that a larmer who is out of debt
has nothing to fear. Hut if the young
farmers I have alluded to were out of
debt if they had no obligations to
meet they would not be ,-,o industri
ous, Tbey would not be the men they
are it they had nothing to fear
and nothing to hope for. The
men we all admire and respect
Are not thoso who run no rinks, who
earn little and spend less, who run on
in the old ruts, who subscribe for no
papers, attend no farmer's club and
take little or no interest in any local
or general improvement who would
rather pull through tho mud thnu
mend the roads. Let us hear less
about the happy furmcr who is out of
debt and more about tho useful farmer
who, being in debt, takes off his coat
and goes to work with a good heart
and a firm determination to be a man,
and E.eet his obligations like a man. I
know there are days and weeks and
months and years of anxious care and
distressing fear, when they ure almost
ready to give up in despair. But stick
to it and you will pull through. The
beat farmers I have eves known and I
hive known a good many have all
gone through a period of great anxiety
and trial, when it seemed as though
everything waa against them. But
such trials strengthen the character
and make them better and more useful
men." Now I do not want farmers to
--n Into debt. I only want to say that
j S little debt and a rravt iWl nf in.lnc-
try is better than monty in the bank
and indolence and stagnation on the
farm.
Cnor Retobts. Tbe bankers of
New York and Liverpool can tell any
season in tbe year, yea, almost in any
month, more about tbe general condi
tion ot tbe crop in South Carolina,
Georgia, or any Southern State, than
the farmers of that State can. This
ought sot to be so. Farmers should
know more ot each other's progress
upon the farm, and assist in edifying
ri.e another more than they do. The
Btatbbmax baa a proposition to make
to the farmers by which they may be
kept better posted in regard to the
crops ot Texas. If the farmers of the
State will advise na once a month as
to tbe condition ot their cops, say by
, mo nnioi me montn, wo will con
, denae tbe various reports and publish
j them, as often as given us. No elal-o-
rate report ia necessary, nothing but a
simple statement upon a postal card
.. costing one cent and perhaps five or
"n minutes time and labor to note
"r the general condition of the crops of
j the neighborhood. If we could get a
I report from two or three farmers in
each county about tbe first ot the
j month, we could easily aggregate them
and the following week report suc
. cinctly tbe agricultural outlook of the
State. We do not want farmers to
! hesitate because they are unable or un-
willing to write matter for publication.
' No one will be known in the matter.
Jul. give na the facts and they will be
arranged so as to give tho most news
in the shortest space. We ask those
interested to assist us, and hope that
- farmers and other interested will make
a cote of this and report at the end ot
etch month. All depends upon the
willingness of the fanners to inform
themselves. r

The death of Fletcher Harper, which
occurred at New York last week, re
moves the last of the four brothers who
founded the trreat publishing house.
James and John, born in 1795 and 1797
on a Long Island farm, started a Drint
ing office of their own, after serving
me usual apprenticeship at New York
in 1817; and Joseph Weslev and
Fletcher, born in 1801 and 1805, joined
mem a lew years later. For nearly
half a century they continued business
together, James being the first to die
in 1801), followed by Wesley a year
later, and John in April, 1875. During
tueir partnership each conducted
special department, the old tradition
being that James did the talking
John attended to the book-keeping
and finances generally, Wesley was the
literary man, and Fletcher the busi
ness man. To Fletcher belongs the
credit of starting, in 1851, Harper's
Mtiijiume, wnicu tbe older brothers
were very dubious about, and later the
Uatar almost against their opposition,
while he chiefly developed the Weekly,
which was his special favorite. The
firm has long included sons ot all tbe
founders, and will go on without any
cnango. its building, plates and mi-
oiiineryare probably worth fa, OOO, 000,
nnii tne tnree periodicals bring in
$100,000 profit a year, to say nothing
oi me protus from their great book
trade.
A New York letter says: "As a mat
trr of some political interest, at this
tune, it may be stated that Mr. Blaine,
within the day or two past, has been.
in a quiet way, taking 'soundings' in
this city as to the feeling in regard to
tho President's Southern policy; but if
rumor is not much out of the way, with
results that are far from satisfactory to
mm. 1 he Kcpublicsn leaders be found
very geneially dispoted to give the
i-rcsuient a lair trial, while tbe cau
tious overtures that were made to the
Democracy (not by Mr. Blaine, but by
persons understood to be acting in bis
benull) developed nothing tbat could
be calleu encouraging. Not that
mere are not men in both par
ties who are disposed to join any plan,
as against tho administration, that
had a respectable show of success, but
the apprehension Is tbat the President's
policy is just now so popular with the
people of North and South alike that
any movement of this kind at present
would be extremely hazardous. Mr.
Blaine, therefore, is advised not to
commence his campaign at present,
By the time Congress assembles it is
possible something may have happenedj
to strengthened bia poalfion, in which
caso he in not nave to go about bunt
leg up recruits. There is also good
reason for adding that Mr. Blaine will
accept tkis advice, and that the public
therefore, will hear no more at present
about the organization of an opposition
party, so far as New York ia con
cerned." How Ten llrasck Beat the Fastest
Tims a Record.
In the pools before the first race, in
which Tea Broeck was to run against
the two mile record except McWhir
ter's and Courier's 3 :3a 1-2 the bona
sold the favorite at odda of $79 so $25,
that be would beat 3:30 12. When
tbe noble animal was led out into tbe
track for bis preliminary mile canter
be waa loudly applauded. He had for
hia running mates tbe fine bone St.
Louis and tbe fleet filly Necy Hale,
Tea Broeck waa ridden by Wm. Walk
er, who baa bestrode him on every oc
casion wnen ne nas run in bis arrest
events, and looked as fine as silk. Hia
beautiful mane waa entwined with red
and yellow ribbons, tbe colors of bis
owner, and there was not a soul on
tbe track bat felt that be would win
the race if he did not meet with an ac
cident. Previous to the start Mr. Clark
requested the spectators not to cheer
the horse as he paaaed tbe stands, aa
the noise would interfere with the in
structions that weuld have to be
shouted to the nder. At last all waa
ready, and the kingot tbe tnrf and St.
Louis went back almost to the eighth
post, in order to get tbe benefit of a full
running start. They went off at a
nice pace at tbe Up of the drum, St.
Louis keeping right ahead of his mate.
The first quarter was mads in 25 1-2,
the halt mile in 53, the three-quarters
in 1 :1S and the mile, under pulL La
1:44 1-2. -
Walker had been ordered to make1
the first milen, 1:45, and now, in
obedieoce-fSj lastructiona, be started
Ten Broeck to run for all there waa in
him. Necy Hale, who bow became
his competitor, was fully twenty yards
ahead of him, and be went after her
like a hurricane, lapping- her on the
upper torn, and paluiBg'ker at the
mile and a qaaiter stake, which waa
made ia 2: She kept clatteriag
away at bis heels, and was only a
length behind st the mils and a half
take, which was passed la t;35, H
came to the mile and three-quarter
post in 3:01, and the two miles in
3:27 12, beating McWhirter's great
time three seconds, and Tom Bowl
ing's unofficial. 3:27 3 4 made at Lex
ington May 12, 1874 by one-fourth
of a second.
The shout that arose from the multi
tude when the time was displayed could
have been heard i-jr miles. As soon aa
the excitement had somewhat subsided
Mr. Clark, from the judges' stand,
stated that Mr. Harper had requested
him to say that Ten Broeck would nev
er run again on the tor.; and whenever
any horse should make a mile faster
than 1:39 3 4, two miles faster than
3:271-2, three miles quicker than
5 :2Q 1-2, and four miles sooner than
7:13 3 4, tbe horns which had been
presented to bin, and which now orna
mented the timers' stand, would be
given with pleasure to that horse. At
tbe conclusion of this speech Mr. Har
per was loudly called for. He responded
and bowed bis thanks, but could not
be induced to enter on a speech. Tbe
horse was theu ' before the ladies'
staud, bo:.' ir.cr inspection was taken
to his stall. Hereafter be will be used
alone in the siuH, and be will most
likely beget a race of kings and queens
of tbe tnrf. "
Sori'tjuer for J uue describes Barthol -di's
colossal "Liberty," to tandat the
entrance of the Lsri'Or of New York:
It will be presented to America by
tne people oi irunce. At'owingtwen
ty feet for the height ef the island
aixjve the water, the pedestal is to be
one hundred and ten feet high, and the
statu?, U the (liiiue of tbe torch, one
hundred and fortv-tive. -Thia makes
the torch at least two huodreu and
sevtuty-Gvo feet above the level of the
hay. It will c4iid in height the col
itrun in ttic place VeoJouie at Paris,
and wiii Oe larger than tho colossus of
Rhodes, to much celebrated by auti
quity. Like that statue, it will have
to be oust iu pieces of man azutble size.
and built up much after the manner of
an armored frigate. Tbe construction
will be.a curious piece of engineering
skill, for which the sculptor andM. de
Btuckle will be responsible. At night
it is proposed that a halo of jets of light
snail radiato from tbe temples of tbe
statue, and perhaps the flame of
tbe torch may be fashioned in crystal,
in order tbat it may catch the light of
tbe sun by day, and at night form
glowing object illuminated by electric
ity.
In respect to the pose ef the statue,
that has been calculated with care. A
Liberty would have to be draped, even
if a draped statue were not advisable
in a climate so cold as ours, where
nude figures suggest extreme ditcom-
lort. liut 21. tfartboldi has also used
bis drapery to give a tower-like and
therefore solid look to his lofty woman
without forgetting tbe necessity for
variety in tne upward lines. Or per
haps it would be better to say that he
has followed the laws of stability to be
sen in tbe trunks of trees, which are
Vary broad at the ground, where the
roots are indicated, yet by no means of
one monotonous breadth from the root
to the branches.
She will stand so as to suggest that
tne strongest Hurricane could never
budge her from the pedestal she has
chosen. Her gesture is meant to call
the attention of the most distant per-
83n, ano, moreover, to let him know
unmistakably what the figure means,
For in this statue, also, M. Bartholdi
has applied his science to fine effect in
getting the figure outlined against the
sky, while energetic attitude has not
interfered with a certain dignified re
pose which inheres in tbe resting posi
tion and which may be owing to tbe
weight of tbe body being thrown on
tbe left leg, as well as to the grave
ioids ot ample drapery. .Even if
stranger approaching from the Narrows
should not know at once what she is
holding up for him to see, the energy
ot her action will awaken his curiosity.
and tbe dignity of it will make him
await a nearer approach with confi
dence. When he can make out the
tablets of the law which jut from her
lelt side as tbey rest on her bent arm.
and the flaming torch which she holds
high up above her bead, while her
eyes are fixed on the horizon, he will
be dull indeed if he does not under
stand what she wishes to tell.
Would she light tbe pathway of
Freedom to the tomb of Time ?
Peatmaater General Key's Speech,
The Statesman, unlike many of onr
contemporaries, and unlike party
leaders in the line of promotion for
party services, has found no reason to
condemn, but every reason to approve
tbe conduct of Judge Key when he ac
cepted a place in Mr. Hayes's cabinet
What he thinks of Lis own conduct
was stated in his speech at Chatta
nooga last week, when he said :
"My friends, I confess that my own
life has been an eventful one. Things
have fallen upon me as by accident.
and when the event to which you have
so graciously alluded to-night came
upon me, my first inclination, as I
have said before, was to refuse and
peremptorily decline the proffered
honor. But, upon mature reflection,
I concluded that if the President of
the United States desired, with a pur
pose oi pacification, to extend to tbe
people of tbe South his band through
me, it X refused to take it the hopes.
the interests and tbe future of mil
lions to come after might be thwarted
and jeopardized. 1 put forward my
naoo aud grasped his. I knew tbat it
the object succeeded humanity would
applaud. If it failed only myself and
tbe President w uld suffer for the
error. I Applause. J Although I took
the step with fear ana tremb
ling, 1 have never regretted it.
Iineers. i l nave felt, and still feel, a
responsibility to my country to be dis
charged in the exercise of my pre sett
duties, wmcn no one can appreciate
wno nas not oeen placed in my position.
that one who had been a Southern man
by birth and trainiag, who had fought
and suffered upon the unfortunate side
of tbe recent conflict, should have been
called to take this office at tbe bands
of a Republican President, was a mark
of confidence which it falls to the lot
of few men to enjoy; and while I ac
cepted it, at no sacrifice of self-respect,
who no pieages oi party lealty, and
with no abatement of honest opinion
upon any subject, yet, Democrat as I
have always been, and Democrat as I
am to-day, my purpose will be to
strengthen, uphold, fortify and place
upsn tbe everlasting foundations of
fame the administration of that Pre si -
dent. Applause. j I thank you for
your cordial greeting, for the marks of
your continued confidence, and tbe
bop which yon inspire in me of tbe
future harmony and prosperity of our
land, lureat cheering. I
Professor Bonsmy Price, a great
free-trade authonty, makes this ex
traordinary admission in an article in
the CotrmHrtrf Jtttiete: "In tbe
export figwrcs tbe writer fails to see
any cheering signs of the long-looked
i or revival oi traae. Both quantities
and values continue to shrink in all
save a few cases. Coal and coke, iron
and steel, copper, and cotton goods.
linen goods, wool and woollen goods.
all indicate tbat the bottom prices have
not as yet oeen reached. This fact.
coupled with tbe still more important
decline in quantities, compels the con
clusion tbat the dragging trade of tbe
last two years and a half baa not aa yet
become more animated. This decline
shows tbst the buyers abroad of Eng
lish goods are fewer and weaker. This
is a tact of supreme significance for a
nation whose population and wealth
and commercial strength are absolutely
dependent, to aa unexampled extent,
oa the exchange of her manufactured
products for food, necessaries and en
joyments of every kind. If England
ware cut oil from all foreign trade, a
large portion of her people must surely
perish, aa surely aa did more than a
million of Irish when the potato disease
left them food less on the land. This
unwelcome symptom calls for notice
whenever it tends to appear however
faintly, moat of all if the suspicion oc
curs that foreign competitors are en
deavoring to overcome us in, and to
exclude us from, what are called third
markets. England must sell abroad,
and on a large scale, too, if she is to
continue to be what she is now."

mighty and will prevail, and It only a qaestioa
