Mr. Editor: What Is the matter up
your way. There must bee further decline
la prices. Something is wrong surely.
Have not received a letter in a month from
your quarter. After twelve days of ellle
I have floellyjgot out of the ooze and scum
of lbs sea bottom. Part of ibis no doubt
Is due to yeur own genial travelling corres
pondent, but I suppose the trip ilnelf wes
suggested by the motives that provoked the
loqulriee to me. If some poor devil like
yonrs truly, whom an adverse fortuoa has
driven from bis scegstomed oeeupellou,eka
how to rough it a Utile on the road to bu
tane, I am right there. I beva been all
over the road, know all the change bouses
and bow to slip the turnpike gates. '
The soil hereabouts is divided loto ham
mock lend and pine ridges, and the whole
country le Interceded with cteek branches,
fresh water Inlets and swsmps. The pine
ridges are bill land of secondary quality,
eesy te clear and producing sweet potatoes,
cotton, cow peas, Ac, bnl no oil, yet rich
In other minerals, such as gold, silver, toil
and limestone. Upon these the unthrifty
"cracker" is settled content to live on peas
and potatoes, and to purchase bis coffee,
oalleo and tobacco by the well shaved pro
file of bis cotton patch. He baa a drove of
"razorbaoked shoals'' that can climb a
stake and rtdared fence, Urink out of a jug,
or swim a like witb equal ease. A bonne
dog and alltgater are needed to guard your
gardea patch, but then lb,e alligator will
eet the dog instead of the sboat," The
woods are full of wild game and the streams
I flib, but be has no money to buy gun or
Bsblng tackle, and Is to) lazy to usi Ibam if
be bed. As a rule tbey do not bunt or
fled.
The hunters are a class and sometimes
a low ooe developed Into the cow boy of
whom you have 'beam tell." With Ibem
It Is well to be oi one's guard, and not trust
to opinions that are probably anything but
Impartial. More anon,

(Here Is a quuitiyn fur lha lawyers. A
jqry is composed of twelve persons we
mean a petit jury in an ordinary law suit in
a court ot tecord. We suppoie a verdict
would be set aside should it appear that
there were but eleven jurymen. And by
the came argument lha verdict found by a
jury of thirteen would uol be good. Out I o
Wyoming womeu serve on juries, and a
defendant wbo was found guilty by a jury
of men and women, now asks tv'feevx the
verdict set aside because oue of the jury
