The demand of booksellers BOYS in
making up their orders and eOmpIet-
ing exchanges from one store toanOth-
er, sounds oddly enough to the unini-
tiated, especially when the style of
binding is coupled with the title Of
the volume. As, for instance, an
urchin darted into Lee & Shepards
the other day with-"I want four
Ginx's Babies i'm cloth"
"All right"
''GOt Horace Greeley half calfaa''
"NO sir"
"Wordsworth's Greece, half Tur-
key?"
"NO. Got full Turkey"
"DOn't want full Turkey till next
Christmas; gii me six Little Men, four
Little Women-I'll take one Pink and
White"
This startling amalgamation COM
pleted, the young ogre moves off to
look up some Terrible Temptations"
in paper, which made us fear for some
of our cOtempOraries, for there are no
temptations i'm commercial paper now
a-days at the present rate of interest.
That was a far-seeing philanthrOpist
who lately died in Boston and left a
provision in his will that Il ten-cent
stamp should be sent 20 the Secretary
Of the Treasury to be put on interest
till the amount should pay the nation
al debt.

a. we'll a. by tho judgment Of the
court. The money is assessed for the
sole purpose Of defrsying the expense
to be incurred for the benefit of the prop
erty Of those by whom it has been paid.
Nothing isleft uncertain. The nature and
extent Of tho work to be performed, and the
probable cost Of that work, is judicially de-
termined; and it is for this purpose and for
NO other that the assessment is made. A
considerable part Of the work has been done
with the money levied by these assessments.
It is evident, therefore, that the owners of
1 tho Land assessed have vested right to in
sist that the money which they have paid
shall beApplied in conformity with the law
Of 1858. and the judgment Of the court rem
dered in pursuance of that law. To divert
the fund from this object and to apply it to
the payment for the excavation Of canals
and tho building Of levees under contract
between the State and the Mississippi and
Mexican Gulf Ship Canal Company, win be
fragrant violation of the clearest consti-
tutional right. Nor is it believed
that any part OF the unpaid as
sessments can be collected from
tho owners of the land, and if this appre-
hension is well founded the. whole Of this
enormous expenditure viii thus fall on the
city Of New Orleans.
The power of the Legislature to
establish different system Of drainage to
thet laid down in these acts of 1855
and 1859 i not Questioned; but il i
deaied that the fund raised under the Get II

Council under the contract, to modify it or
to contract with other parties, be previously
conceded by the company.
It would render us liable to the extent Of
fifty thousand dollars month, which we
have either to pay in money or in paper OBJ
legations. The former we are unable to do,
as our estimated current expenses are far
beyond our estimated receipts provided for
in the budget, and the latter would en-
barrass the Council and greatly depreciate
city obligations. s4--l- s-
Because by recognizing this contract the
city gives away at least one million dollars
Of the taxpayers money, to company
whose only capital consists Of bonds Of the
State, issued to them gratuitously, of which
bonds the city Of New Orleans pays nearly
one-haf their face value.
Because the ordinance is neither an &C
ceptance Of the act of the Legislature so as
to relieve the city Of all contingent pains
and penalties, nor rejection of the act 80
az to bring the question of its constitution
atty fairly and squarely before the courts,

constitutionality of the enactment, the Or
finance virtually accepts the contract pro-
posed by the bill. and titus renders the city
liable for all the cost Of compliance, without
giving it . chance of escape from the pen
alties Of non compliance.
And, finally, because think it the duty
of the Council to resist every effort to de-
prive the city of its property or franchises
without it's consent, or to impose burdens
which arc unnecessary and uncalled for.

There is greatd deal Of difference between
that and giving money away. We have dis
covered one thing in this investigation, and
think that can not be successfully contra
dicted, that there is NO other, company hav-
ing adequate machinery to go'to wsrk upon
this thing immediately. It is acknowledged
that this company has performed an amount
of canal work never done before in this
State in the same length of time; and that
they have six dredge boats ready forimme-
date operation. They are in the business,
they have shown they understand it, and
are ready to perform the work. 1t

GRAPE Culture.

AS our farmers are evincing a desire to
diversity their crops by engaging some
what in grape growing, we purpose from
time to time to print such information in
regard to their culture as the experience
of others shall suggest. We are glad to
see 30 much interest manifested in this
crop and hore that the just expectations
of those, who are setting out vineyards,
may be sbundantly realized. We would
remark that of all the varieties that have
been tried in our State the Concord and
the Ives Seeding give most satisfaction.
The Concord, especially, as being vigor
GUS grower and sure bearer, is sought
after. The Isabella and Cstswba were
largely planted several years ago, but
proved SO unreliable that many of our
citizens were discouraged in their efforts to
raise grapes. We trust that some of our
enterprising farmers will persevere, until
they shall have secured reliable variety
and one suited to the conditions of our
soil and climate.

gives the following instructions TO grape

TO KILL LICE ON ANIMALS.

10 the Eoitors OF the Union and American.
Grease the animal with any kind OF
grease, from the head to the tail, along
the back, and under the belly, and in IS
hours not living louise can be found.
The better plan is to melt the grease
and while in fluid state, pour it on the
animal if hog, pour little in the
ears, as this is good harbor for the YER
min. Put on q plentiful supply, and
death is certain, not only to the living,
but also to the yet unmatched nits.
Now, for the philosophy. All lice are
parasites, and esch kind has its particular
habit. The louise (pediculus) has neither
lungs nor gills, but bresthes through in
Vulnerable pores in the body. The grease
stops up these pores, and the vermin die
for want of air, just as quickly as man
would die, with tight bandage over his
mouth and nose. If child's head is
infected with lice, (PedicuLttS capitiS)
one or two good applications of oil, will
kill them.
Coal oil will answer in part for hogs
and COWS, but as it soon evaporates, it
does not get rid of the nits, while grease
will remain on the animal for a long
time, and when the nits hatch and begin
to crawl, must die as did their parents.
Coal oil is too severe a remedy. Animals
have been killed as well as lice, by its
too frequent application.
This recipe is worth more to the farmer
than years subscription to the UNION
AND AMERICAN. 1t should be cut out and
pasted in book, with other recipes of q
useful character, for future reference.

BLUE GRASS.

To the Editors Of the Union and American
LoNGvIRw MONTGOMERY COUNTY, March
29.-Gentlemen have been very much
interested in the discussions on agricultu-
raj subjects published in your valuable
paper, especially on the grasses. The
value of clover and timothy, think, is
settled but the blue grass question being
sub JUDGE, and having made an expert
ment with it in timber which has con-
WINGED me, propose to give your read
ers the benefit of it.:
settled here In 1929, nine miles north.
west from GAINESVILLE, in country known
as the Barrens. At that time there was
no timber but post oak and black jack;
all other trees being destroyed by the an
nual burning of the barren grass. On
the streams where the grass was less lux
uriant black and red oak abounded. l
settled in the woods near Little West
Fork, and found the timber mixed. There
we're all the kinds of oaks, large hicko-
ries, beech, elm, walnut, ash, cherry and
box elder; underground mostly very tall
hazel.
The soil was deep, black mould on a
red, soapy, fertile clsy-which l found
by digging a well to be about thirty feet
thick, resting ON bed of lime which l
penetrated eighteen feet. l have known
it to be bored forty feet without change.
l prepared the ground (sbout ten acres)
by thorough grubbing, and plowed it with
coulter and shovel all summer, and sowed
in blue grass in the fall. In time of
slavery the leaves were carried to the
orse-lot-since, they have been burned
off in winter. Great pains have been
taken to keepout weeds and other intru-
ders. This lawn has been regularly
grased by sheep and calves for more than
forty years. Some seasons the stock were
kept off till blue grass seed ripened.
The grass is still here but not sufficient
luxury to pay for the attention bestowed.
The worst enemies to contend with are
white clover and moss. l see now no
sign of clover, but some time hence it
will have possession and hold it TIL fall.
The moss starts near the trees and occu-
pies good deal of the ground-dwarfiDg
the grass very much. have about one
hundred acres of timber. enclosed, which
! would SOW in blue grass, if was not
sure of failure, n. S. THOMAS, NJ. D.

The brightest, still the fleetest are.
Now the violet's modest Eye
With thy glances seems to vie,
Hiding her ''weer tiny head,
Meath the leaves that form her bed,
Never found till she is sought,
sometimes iron but aeUer bought,
Modestly the GROWING "good,
To embellish msidenhood.
Men do set on things small store,
That are got by asking for.
Irvine thou well with evergreen"
Every bud and flower between;
Let Remembrance like 8 thread,
10 the Past the Present wed,
Weave q wool Time canrot tear,
Moistened by burning tear.
Though the present is to-day
When the "WOTTOlo's" past away,
IT'S the past, thou oOp'st not reach,
Back 20 heal a pain fui bredch.
TlOuQh thy heart bs sad nr cav
Be it December" or be it MAY"
Irvine green leaf, L., b.,
For friend that loves thee wei.
