The Burning Equator Giving UP Its
SccretS.

Ujiji, in Central Africa-under the
burning equator--has given up the secret
of DR.. Livingstone's existence. Thegreat
explorer is alive andwell. London-and
all Britain--and the whole civilized
worlds ablaze with joy and excite
ment over the well-ascertained fact.
Years has Dr.. Livingstone been in that
.innuown land without the means OF
communicating home, and years have
exploring eNped tions been searching for
him, or for intelligence Of him. Years
has every civilized State in the world
been anxious about the fate of the cele-
brated traveller; and now his safety has
been ascertained by -4mericdn newspaper
satcrprise. While the British govern
ment hesitated, and refused supplies sut-
ficient for an available expedition, the
proprietor of the New York Herald, tho
late james Gordon Bennett, selected u
Gentleman fitted for the enterprise, gave
am Il carte 0dt,.c!ic 10 draw for eNpen-
,Itures, anu sent MN 10 the unknown
regions OF Africa to find Livingstone or
authentic information Of his fate. And
che Herald expedition has been conf
plo.ely successful. MIR. Stanley, the
leader of it, has proudly won his way to
Uj:Ji, and there shaken hands with the
lJng lost Livingstone.
And thus the press of America will

revealing the hidden secrets OF Equato

A Ennulnr Move.

1t is stated that Judge Thomas j.
Mackey, whoexpectsto receive the nomi-
nation for Governor at the hands of the
Radicals, (says the Lancaster Lcdger,) is
soon to take the stump in this State in
the advocacy of the reputation of the last
issue of State bonds. We are willing to
wish the Judgean success in this new
departure. There is scarcely a single
man. in the State so iaiotic as to believe
that the large number of bonds. issued
by the Financial Board during the past
eighteen monthswere issued under strict
authority of law, and reputation is the
only way to get rid of an enormous debt
saddled upon us illegally.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

All Radical Republican Ward Clubs of the
city of New Orleans are respectfully invited
to attend grand mass meeting at Lafay tie
square this evening, at P. NJ. Punctual
attendance is requested
The following eminent orators will address
the meeting.
Hon. George W. Carter, Speaker of the
House of Representatives; Hons J. Henri
Burch, 7. Des Tucker, Harry Lott, and
others.
By order Of the Parish Executive Com
mittee. F. NICK. DUNN, President.
S. NJ. QUEIE, Secretary.
Why this was sent to me cannot conceive,
unless it was to call my attention to what is
going on outside. Being detained here by
my official duties, it may be that some kind
friend has sent it to me for that purpose.
What is this mass meeting called for? This
notice does not say anything on that subject,
but suppose it has reference to the same
meeting that saw advertised in the papers
OF to-day and yesterday, for the purpose of
getting the citizens to cooperate with George
W. Carter Co. in overthrowing the State
government Of Louisiana. If that be the
object Of the meeting, perhaps the fact OF
this notice being sent to me has an ominous
meaning. 1t may have been sent to me for
the purpose of intimidation. l accept it.
however, no matter what may have been the
motive that actuated the sender. accept it
because | wish the names attached to it to be
imprinted in inetfaceable letters upon nv
memory. Who are they? First comes the
name of George ". Carter, speaker, House
of Representatives," He is so well known
In this community that it is unnecessary for
me to say anything about him. And who are
the others? J. Henri Burch T. Des Tucker
and Harry Lott. Are these the men to shape
the policy of the State government of Lou
isiana? Are these the men to talk about re-
form IN this mass meeting tonight, and
charge the legal representatives of the people
with bribery and curruption, and with being
a band Of thieves? If such is their intention
l would Ike to ask the people that will attend
that meeting to look over the record. and see
who voted for the Objectionable measures
that they will meet tonight TO censure. I
care not whether those measures be political
or speculative in their character. venture
to assert, without fear of contradiction. that
you will find recorded in the affirmative the
votes Of j. Henri Burch and Harry Lott.
MIR. Tucker is not of sufficient Importance for
me to pay auy attention to. He is not a citi-
zen of this State, nor Of the United States.
He is an African by birth, and has never been
naturalized. He applied for registration here.
and wac refused by the courts. But those
other gentlemen claim to be representative
men. They claim to be members of the
House of Representatives,; but how would
Mr.. Lofts colored constituents feel if thew
were told when he was asked to accept a
position ON the school board of the parish

How to Make Village or City Garden.

TAKE barrels and bore holes around the
middle, and one hole large enough to adj
nit the nose of watering pot. Fill the
barrels with stones as high as the rows of
holes, and fill in with good, rich, fine
earth to the top, in which plant cucum-
bers, melons, squashes, tomatoes, etc.
One barrel will be enough of each kind.
Be sure to have one flat stone lean over
the large hole, where you will pour in
water until it runs out of the holes you
have made, and which will prevent the
earth from filling this large hole up.
Range the barrels round your yard, and
plant your seeds. Keep the barrels filed
with water up to the holes, and you have
all the requisites for rapid, healthy growth
air, heat and moisture. You can raise
all the vegetables you will need, in the
greatest perfection, and they will last I'M
til late in the autumn, as they can easily
be covered on frosty nights. Cucumbers
and tomatoes may hang over the barrels,
cutting them off when they reach the bot
tom. Melons may be tied to the wall
fence. The stones have an important ser
vice in holding up the earth, and absorb
ing the heat during the day, which they
give out at night, keeping the water with
an even temperature. You will be aston
ished at the result if you have never tried
it.-Irdirie Farmer.

AS SOON as the ground is entirely free
from frost, early turnips may be sown.
They are easily grown, and, like early po-
tatoes, sell well when gotten into market
early. To enable them to mature their
roots before very hot weather comes on,
they should be pushed forward with lib
them would be five double horse-cart
manure, five bushels bone-dust, twenty
bushels of ashes, five bushels of lime, and
two bushels of salt. A good superphos-
phate Is particularly favorable for
turnips. They are great feeders, and
must be furnished with full rations to
enable them to do their best. Spread one
half the manure broadcast; pillow it in,
then harrow and apply the other half of
the manure; harrow it in, then sow the
seed, very slightly harrow the ground,
and roll. Sprinkle over the plants fish
oil as soon as they come up, and con-
tinue to do this daily until they get into
the rough leaf; or for the oil you may
substitute mixture of lime, salt and
ashes, and in this case the plants should
be busted early in the morning, while
they are wet with dew, for some mornings
in succession. When the turnips begin
to bottle run the harrow through them to
thin and work them, hoe them afterward,
and thin them SO they will stand six or
eight inches apart. Another working

Country Newspapers.

Few people appreciate the value of the
village papers which gather up the news
of county and advocate the interests of
locality And few understand the
amount of ability required to edit such a
paper where one man must be editor,
publisher, printer, book-keeper, and all.
Imagine how much the intelligence of the
country would suffer by the blotting out
of the country papers, which treat the
immediate interests of the people and
thus come into immediate contact with
their minds.
The true country editor understands
that his paper thrives by being intensely
local; that it is not by learned editorials on
tariff and income tax, but by articles in
favor of the new railroad, be descriptions
of the new factory, by advocacy of the
new bridge, that he must succeed. Peo-
pie look in his columns not only for the
latest general news, but for "A mention of
every interesting fact, of every curious
matter of gossip in his own county. And
thus the paper becomes the reflector of
the current events and the public senti-
ment of his section. Nothing is too small
to be itemized if only it is of interest. A
country editor advertised the other day
that he would insert list of the names of
all the people who had joined the churches
in the county in a recent revival. Which
showed that he understood his bust
ness. He proposed to chronicle every
event of interest occurring in his iurisdie-
ton.
Every intelligent family should give a
cordial support to the local newspaper 1t

Earned HIS Passage.

IT so happened that while Major Camp
ton was travelling in his own conveyance.
and accompanied by his wife, during a
pleasant day in the summer he came to a
halt on the margin of a certain river, and
shouted for the ferryman. In due time
the Indispensable gentleman was ready,
and while inquiring the news of the day
he was suddenly smItten with a new
thought, and dropping the painter of the
old scow, looked inquiringly into the Ma
jor's face, when the following dialogue en-
sued:

consultation with his lady, who was, OF
course, IN great trouble; but taking off
his coat and unbuttoning his straps, he
stepped out upon grass spot and waited
the ferryman's attack.
To shorten Il long story, the fight was

himself, after the struggle, an admirable
picture of a misspent life. He had, how

JUST TAKEN HIS BITTERS.-We heard a
seedy looking individual with an alarm
ingly red nose remark to a brother soaker
that he had "just had his bitters, but he
did not mind taking another nip" His
remark suggested Il train of reflection.
How was it, we asked ourselves, that the
word ''bitters" had grown to be a synonym
for gin, whisky, rum and other alcoholic
stimulants, to which it was applied indis-
cr.minatcly. Bitters, we reasoned, sug-
gested the idea of healthful tonic, not
of Il poisonous stimulant; something in
vigorating to the system, not an alcoholic
irritant, full of fnsel oil, producing pres
ent intoXication and intimate insanity
idiocy, or premature death. Moreover,
our idea of bitters was totally irreconcila-
BILE with gin cocktails" rum punches"
and 'brandy smashes," which, we are in
formed, are sweetencd with sugar, and
rendered dOubly injurious with essences
colored by means of mineral poison. This
was bitter-sweet with a vengeance. We
mentioned this problem to a friend. He
solved it by eXclaimin@: "Why, don't
YOU know that most of these bitters ad-
vertised as remedies are only drains in

CuItivating and Raising Hops.

A RICH, deep soil, rather inclined to
moisture, is, on the whole, the best apapt-
ed for the cultivation of hops; but it is
observable that any soil (stiif clay only
eXcepted) will suit the growing of hops
when properly prepared; and in many
parts of Great Britain they use the bog
land, which is fit for little else. The
ground on which hops are to be planted
should be made rich with that kind of
manure best suited to the soil, and rem
dercd fine and mellow by being plowed
deep and narrowed several times. The
hill should be at the distance of six or
eight feet apart each way, according to
the richness of the ground. On lands
that are rich, the vines will run the most ;
the hills must therefore be further apart
AT the first opening of spring, when
the frosts are over and vegetation begins,
SETS or small pieces of the roots of hops
must be obtained from hops that are es-
teemed the best. Cut OF from the main
stalk or root, six inches in length, branch
cs or suckers most healthy, and of the
last years growth, if possible TO be pro-
cured; if not, they should he wrapped in
IL cloth, kept in a moist place excluded
from the air. \ hole should then be
made, large and deep, and filled with rich,
mellow earth. The sprouts should be set
in this earth with the bud upwards, and
the ground pressed close about them. If
the buds have begun to open, the upper
most must be left just out of the ground;
otherwise, cover il with the earth an inch.
Two or three sets To a pole is sufficient, and
three poles to IA hill will be found most pro
ductive. Place one of the poles toward the
north, the other two at equal distances,
about two feet apart The sets are to he
placed in the same manner as the poles
that they may the easier climb. The
