Louisiana.

The persistent efforts of the Democratic politicians—or at least the rebellious element of the Democracy— to destroy the prosperity of the Southern States, to drive capital from the country, to check the growth of commerce, force the merchant and the farmer to bankruptcy, depreciate the value of land, and stop the tide of immigration, cannot fail at least to brine upon them the general indignation of the people. Every KuKlux murder, every assault upon the supremacy of the law, every threat of violence and of usurpation, tends to produce infinite loss to the country, and-helps to reduce to poverty and decay a region fitted by .nature to teem with material wealth, and support in affluence an immense population. Lands in various portions of (the Southern States that under a peaceful government would prove more productive than the rich fields of Minnesota,, are left idle and untilled. Farms are sold at prices so low as to seem incredible to Northern cultivators. The mineral resources of the mountain chain's are left untouched. Railroads that would open up wide districts of country to foreign immigration are stopped in their progress because the capitalist is afraid of spoliation and open robbery. The commerce of the Southern cities languishes, while the cities of the great West press on with unprecedented strides. The merchant, the honest laborer, the mechanic, and the investor shrink'from the home of the Kn-Klux, and avoid a region where life and property are threatened by brigands and revolutionists. J- Louisiana has suffered as severely as any of her sister States from the cruel deeds of its rebellious faction. The great majority of its people, no doubt, desire repose: but their Democratic leaders will not fuller them to rest. The recent riots in New Orleans are only the latest of a long series of outrages. The same faction that nas never ceased to threaten and Ml Republican voters and peaceful oolored men has at last covered the streets

of New Orleans with bloodshed. They have been the first to shed the blood of their fellow citizens. They have not only defied tie authority of tlidStWe and National courts, but have endeavored to seize the government by armed violence. The particulars of this contest deserve a general attention. Two governments existed in Louisiana, each claiming to represent the majority of the peoplb. The Warmoth an d’M’finery faction, supported by the rebel leaders, and composed of many men who had served in the rebel armies, assert that at the fall election they had a large majority of the votes. The Kellogg party, embracing all the. Republicans, insist that the majority was on their side. The question as to the validity of their claims was submitted to the Supreme Court of New Orleans, and also to the United States judge, Durell. Both courts debided in favor of Kellogg and his associates. They were declared elected by the highest legal decision. They entered upon their offices, took possession of the public buildings, organized the police, proceeded to discharge their proper duties, and the National Administration, as it was obliged to do, respected the decision of the courts, and acknowledged the State government of the Kellogg party. It could have done nothing else; it was forced to follow the ruling of the courts; and, besides, the Kellogg government was in existence de facto as well as de jure. It was the only .one known to the law. Meantime the -McEnery party also organized a government, assembled a Legislature, and proceeded to perform various acts annoying and obstructive to its opponents. It next, as was most proper, appealed to the President and to Congress. The President had no power to interfere, but Congress, perhaps, might have determined the controversy. ’lt would seem, however, rather a question for the Suprem ; Court; and even Con - jgrees would scarcely,care to reverse the decision of the New Orleans judges. But however this may be, the plain duty of the McEnery party, if they found themselves aggrieved, was to commen' i e such legal proceedings ns might fckpose the errors of their opponents and obtain (urtice for themselves. They should have aw ailed the operation oPThe law. Im" stead of this they armed themselves, prepared a large military force, and made an attack upon their opponents, which end ed in the loss of several lives ard the wounding of fifteen or twenty persons. Their object, it seems, was to seize the court houses and reinstate their own judges; they might thus gain a show of legality on their side, which is now wholly wanting. The rebels fought with courage; but their plans had been revealed to the Kellogg officials, and General Longstreet, by his prudent disposition of the armedpolice, saved the court-houses. General Emory, the United States officer in command, next ordered the rioters to disperse, and, obeying the instructions of President Grant, aided In restoring order in New Orleans. For this the President

has been assailed with extraordinary bitterness by the friends of Warmoth and McEnery, by the opposition press of the North, and the -enemies of the public peace. The people of the whole country, however, will probably approve of his conduct, and show theTebeltious portion of the Southern population that they are resolved to check at once tlierr constant tendency toward bloodshed and crime. The chief sufferers from the violence of Warmoth and McEnery, next to the dead and the wounded, to whose fate they have been accessory, will be the merchants, mechanics and farmers of Louisiana. Business has long been inactive at New Orleans, owing to the fear of riots and the political disturbances. Republicans and the colored citizens are naturally alarmed for their lives when they see their enemies armed parading in the streets, and when they remember the long series of outrages which have been inflicted upon them by a small but desperate faction of the opposition. Louisiana, rich in natural advantages, requires capital to repair its levees, drain its swamps, renew its productiveness, and New Orleans must insure good order among its citizens before it can hope for. the revival of its trade. Let, therefore, the intelligent people of Louisiana of all parties unite to repair the evils that have been inflicted upon them. Let them discourage every attempt to violatdthc law; let them Select for office moderate, honest men, who are willing to do justice to all; let them punish with imprisonment and hard labor the desperate politicians, who are the enemies of industry and progress; and New Orleans will once more assume the appearance of a commercial city. Nor will the whole South ever recover its prosperity until it has pursued a similar course —has proved to the world that the rule of rapine and disorder, which has so long impoverished many of its fairest districts, has passed away forever, and that the life and property of the immigrant, the Republican voter, and the foreign capital-: ist are as safe in North Carolina and Georgia as they are in Minnesota or Nebraska.—Harper's Weekly.

What Will You Leave Behind ?

Talking with an old farmer once, Tie said: “When I die, I am going to leave behind me, its a heritage for my children, the home where they were born, made aS beautiful as my means and uneducated taste will allow, pleasant memories of the home fireside and of thfr -sunny summer days, and a true regard for the dignity and worthiness of the calling which their -father followed.” The old than was so full of emotion when he talked in this wise, that he had to use his handkerchief To prevent the tears .telling their tale of manly: sensitiveness. His boys were widely scattered, having a varied experience in life; but there was not one of them who did not honor the old farmer they called (and reverently, too) “Father;” nor one of them who was not glad to Visit the old homestead once a year. Now, we repeat the question, “What will you leave behind?” Money? It will do your children little good, comparatively. Money is easily obtained. But homes are scarce. The associations which the men of the world value most are the associations with tlieir early homes. No man, no matter what his position, circumstances or relations in life, who has had a happy and pleasant home in his youth, fails to remember, love and long for it. It is the haven he seeks, one toward which his heart goes out whenever he is in trouble; it is the shrine to which he makes pilgrimage whenever he has means and opportunity; it is the one spot on earth upon which he is willing to lavish the wealth he may have acquired, and where he desirps to die and be buried. What will you leave behind, good friend of the farm? Snail the homestead be your monument? Shall the children return thither as the pilgrim seeks the shrine of a saint? Shall each tree teli its story of your taste and good sense—revive in the minds of your children the time and circumstances of the planting? Shall it symbolize by, its growth, and extended and -extending branches, the growth of your children’s affections for you, and the influence your example and precepts are exerting through them? Shall each stone in the w r all, addition to the barn, the house, out buildings, -improvements, orchard, garden and field, speak to them of the love you once bore them, of the labor you once performed that tbsy might be fed, clothed and educated? Shall each blade of grass lift itself up toward heaven and testify to your providence and care? Shall each appleblossom in the orchard shed its perfume in memory of the man who planted the seed from which they sprang, or the tree on which they bloom and laugh in the sweet May air? Will money compensate your children for the loss of such a heritage? No, sir! emphatically, No! Let us try to leave behind us something that shall soften the hearts of men and women when they remember us—be they our children or not; but especially„le.t US. who have homes, who are blessed with a title to a portion of God’s green earth, see that it is rendered so beautiful in the eyes of our offspring that their hearts will always find anchorage there whenever the longings of loneliness come over them ; whenever the rough elbowings of an unfeeling world jostle them out of humor with it. Let the coming spring witness some effort to leave the old farm better and moreTeaUtifiil in the autumn. Let the boys and girls feel that we have lfeft something behind that money cannot purchase, and for which it can be no substitute. —Rural New Yorker. - ’ A Pittsburgh somnambulist one night recently got up and deliberately dressed himself. lie then took out the lower sash of one of the windows of his room and proceeded to walk out. The walking was a sticcess till Re got outside of the Window. Then there was a sudden halt. The fact was, in his descent he caught upon one of the hooks of a butcher’s frame that stood below. There he hung by one of his boots till it was completely torn off, then he proceeded on his journey to mother earth. Here there was a definite stop., The man was nqt dangerously injured, but he received some-se-vere bruises and a terrible shock to his nervous system as he Woke up when he landed on the hook. Thomas Caldwell, President of the South Nashville Street Railway, undertook to ride with a new driver, the other night, telling him in Tesponse to the demand for fare: “I own most of This road,” and getting this reply: “ Well, you won’t own it long if you don’t pay me your fare. That’s ali I’ve got to say about it.”

This shotild be placed f/here the tow will have free access to it every day, and shoitld not-be mixed with her food. Some cows in my herd will eat salt every day, while others, receiving the same kind of food, and drinkiug of the same water, will not eat salt oftener Ilian once in each week during the winter, nor oftener than once in four or five Jays during the summer. Hence salt mixed with the cow’s food, will furnish to some more salt than they require, and to others less than they need.

U. S. GRANT,

The farmer has abundant opportunities for acquiring a knowledge of his business throughexperiments, and he should not fail to use them to the utmost extent. We do not mean hy this that a man should be continually changing products or systems of culture, but that he shall keep himself sufficiently unbiassed to adopt new things and plans which are likely to be of practical utility. All men are more or less prone to follow the beaten path made by their predecessors, and few have the courage to diverge from these lines and strike out for themselves. We often forget that general rules in agriculture admit ofnlany exceptions, and It is only those of a specific character that admit of a specific application. For instance, a deep soil is conceded to he more valuable than a shallow one; hence the general rule that, deep culture should be practiced in order to produce great results; still there are many cases where a man would no doubt he the loser by adopting such a system. It is only through carefully conducted experiments that we can learn what is best either in systems of culture or the crops raised-. Different soils require a 'different treatment; climate and exposure may also necessitate a variation in the mode of culture-, as well as in the kinds of crops cultivated, and these are the things that the intelligent farmer must learn if he would be successful. In some portions of the country wheat sown with a drill is not so liable to be injured in winter as when sown broadcast, while in others the difference between the two systems is scarcely, if at all, perceptible. A few experiments will show the farmer which is the best, and then he can choose for himself without regard to what others may say. But if he never tries but one system he will not know whether it is the best or not. Mulching winter wheat is also highly recommended by those who have tried it in regions where there is little snow in winter, and theoretically it seems to be the one thing needful in all regions where the young grain is liable to be exposed to cold winds in winter, as itis in most prairie countries; but experiments would soon settle the question definitely,. A few rods square or acres might be covered for a few years in succession, and by noticing the results the farmer could determine whether it would pay him to adopt the system upon a larger scale. That which is best in one locality may be the worst in another, and this is one great argument in favor of local personal experiments.

It may be more profitable to the Western farmer,, to feed his hogs and cattle corn on the ear than to shell and grind it, while the Eastern farmer would find the exact reverse of this the most economical, for practice—must vary to accord with circumstances. Among stocks we find breeds that are better adapted to one. locality than to another, but how is a man to ascertain this fact, except through experiments? If a man desires to sell beef, be would select quite a different breed -oh animals from those usually kept for the dairy, at least if he was a man of intelligence, and understood bis business thoroughly. The same is true in regard to fruits, vegetables, and all kinds of grains, and one needs to be continually experimenting in order to learn when, how and where to make a change,' if such should be necessary. If you have never tried subsoiling, give it a thorough trial, upon one field, at least, for it may be just the thing required to enable you to raise large and remunerative crops. ..*..We know that there are thousands of acres of what are called worn-out lands in the Eastern and Southern States that only need deep culture to restore their long lost fertility. Their owners will not experiment in this way or any other direction, and the results are well known ;-t r q jevery one who has studied scientific agriculture or traveled through these desolate regions of country. Because one crop fails it is no sign that another might not succeed, even upon the same soil, and be cultivated with profit It is not enough to do well in fanning, but every one should try to do better. Neither is it safe to pursue a system that is impoverishing the, soil and gradually lessening its products, although this istlie practice in. all new regions of the country, and in many of the old.— N. 'T. Sun \ * *- A man who has been engaeed in petty thefts from Btores in Concord, N.

Consumption.—For the euro of this distreseliig disease there has been no medicine yet discovered that can show more evidence of real merit than Allen's Lung Balsam. This unequaled expectorant for curing consumption, and all diseases leading to it, such as affections of the throat, lungs, and all diseases of the pulmonary organs, is introduced to the suffering public after its merits for the cute of such diseases have been fully tested by the medical faculty. The Balsam is, consequently, recommended by physicians who have become acquainted with its great success.

A New Departure in Medicine.— There are "new departures’’ in medicine, t»s well as in politics.

His California Vinegar Bitters may, be safely pronounced the most popular remedy of the age. When it is considered that this now famous specific was introduced some two years ago, 4*,s present sale, which is at the rate of 3,000,000 bottles per annum, can only be ascribed to its intrinsic merits. It is believed that the history of "patent medicines” affords no example of a success so "rapid aid coffi'pl el®.
