FARM AND GARDEN.
HOT BEDS AND SMOKE

We have just been among market gard
eners, and nearly in contsct with heaps of
smoking manure and seed beds warm for
early vegetables. What makes so much
fermenting heat and smoke? No fire has
been kindled in the straw and excrements;
why any vapor, steam, heat or smoke? Ev-
cry gardener and farmer should understand
the cause Of this rise in temperature, and
its true value in advancing any plant. The
heat in hot-bed, that often gives one early
cabbages, tomatoes and potatoes, is an in
dustrial force capable OF indefinite extern
sion, precisely like that which melts tons of
pig-me!al at blast, and drives steam en-
gines of 500 horse power. II the wise ap-
plication Of large heat demands engineer
ing sciences and art, in common manufac-
lures, why not use the same skill and
knowledge in expanding the small heat of
dung heap to the best advantage? Work on
the farm, in the garden and in the factory,
without scientific rule, is apt to be alike
stupid and uncertain. To obtain a sound
rule every youth should study the phenom-
.ena in which pile of horse droppings de-
velop high heat for hot beds; while sim
liar heap Of COW manure is generally as cold
as q snow bank. Cows and horses eat the
same hay and fodder. Why this marked
difference? They breathe the same air and
drink the same water. Here is something
about fertilizers, hot-beds and smoking
composts, that only few gardeners have
investigated.
a COW drinks about four times as much
water as a horse or mule, and this great diff
ference affects all the after chemical opera
lions in the matter voided by the
two kinds of animals. A heap of
horse manure is at least 100 times
mere porous than a heap of COW ma
nure. This greatly condenses atmospheric
gases, and renders SO much latent heat &C
tive, as will suffice to start sort of combus-
ton, OF burning, in the warm mass. With
out this condensation OF vital air in the
pores of horse-dung, there could be no hot
bed, and no early vegetables, except by
glass and burning fuel for bottom heat. In
the country on farm where wood is cheap,
such bottom warming through brick, rock
or soil, is cheaper than manure ot,bed;
audit ought to be far more used than it is, to
bring sweet and Irish potatoes, beets, Lima
beans, early corn, tomatoes and peas for
n n ~ fl,a,- H.
season. Enterprising market gardeners IN
derstand that it is their earliest crops that
bring the most money. Bottom heat and
hot-beds are borrowed summer sunshine;
and their apparent smoke is diffused mois-
ture condensed in a cool atmosphere.

The Situation.

AT one time during the past week affairs
began to assume a warlike appearance.
The rumors from st. Martinsville. humor-
ously called the seat of war, were quite
exciting, causing extras and second editions
to go of like hot cakes. After all, it turn
ed out to be a sharp dodge of somebody,
either to keep up the excitement or to make
a nice little operation for tho newspapers.
The whole thing proved to be splendid
specimen of
FIGHTING AT LONG TAw.
We do not intend to ridicule Col. De
Blame for this. On the contrary, we ap-
pleld his prudence and discretion in avoid
ing bl0Odshed. His valOr and military
skill are too we'll known to require that he
shOuld seek an occasion to exhibit their
quality. He has accomplished the object
he had in view in his demonstration, which
appears to have been simply to put on re-
cord, in an unmistakeable shape, the proof
that the Kellogg government was not de
fdcto one in the parish of ST.. Martin. He
has demonstrated the fact that kellogg had
not power enough in this State, even with
the aid Of the Metropolitan Police, paid as

done, through mismanagemeht In the
schools. In the public schools aud nearly
all Protestant schools, there lie not compare
lively any guard placed over the freedom
Of the young In this respect. Little effort
Is made to find ont what they read on Sc
cret occasions, and none whatever to pre-
vent their correspondence with publishers
who send them snch lists as those spoken
OF above. 1t would be thought unrepubli-
can and Perhaps /" Jesuitical to inspect
the correspondence of students, and hence
opportunities which result in such broad
cast moral destruction.
In Catholic institutions, the strictest
guard 10 kept over the communication Of
students with the outside world, and an
especial point is made of watching over
morals az being much more important than
even intellectual acqnirement. Thousands
OF Protestant parents understand this, and
place their children in Catholic establish
mente where they know that their moral
Developments will be seduiousiy guarded. =
How unfortunate that many Catholics
have not discretion enough to understand
this, but persistently send their children
to pablo free schools to save little ex-
pense. They do this in plain violation Of
that obedience which they owe to the
Church, and oblivious to the manifest dan
ger which they run Of placing their helpless
offspring under influences such as those
expressed in the speech alluded to.

Gus friends, will be glad to hear that his
health has been greatly improved by the

that a8fairs In the old world, as seen by him,
must have left impressions which his vivid
descriptive powers will work up into many

che inteAqet1al enjoyment of his hearers OF
readers. We have not as yet received any
communication from him, further than the
mere information Of his arrival as above
mentioned.

The exhibition at st. Mary Jefferson College,
Par st. james, last Sunday, afforded very en-
joyable entertainment to the students as also
to their numerous visitors and friends. The
hall was crowded with the relatives of the col
legians, many families coming q from distance of
twenty and even thirty miles up and down the
coast. Of course our city was we'll represent
ed, as qui'e Il number of the students are from
here Having thus assembled most of those
whom they hold dear on earth, the young gen.
tlemen set to work to entertain them, in which
effort they succeeded most admirably. The
splendid brass band was the first in the field,
then followed many beautiful songs and reci-
tations after which the drama of "The Expia-
ton" was enacted. The performance oSnclud-
cd with comic piece, after which several
hours were pleasantly passed by the visitors
in social converse with the students and Rev.
professors.

The Boston Pilot.

The paper bearing this name claims I,
be Catholic paper. We say claims I'D
visedly. Gun paper which volunteers it,
columns as the willing medium of partizar
lies. be strictly called Catholicf 1t is evi.
dent that it could not, If those lies related to
religious matters, and is it not almost as
evident when, though they do not refer to
such matters they do to others OF grave
public import and seriously affecting private
rights? A paper not imbued with the spirit
OF truth and justice in all things cannot
properly be called Catholic.
We are referring now to the most unfair
and apparently malicious course of the
journal in question in publishing versions OF
the Colfax affair in Grant parish of this
State. Its issue of May 3rd inst, had
about half column Of what it calls "a
statement Of colored men-how the diff
Guilty originated" under the following head
ing in immense type,
TIE MASSACRE OF THE BLACKS
This was published without word of
comment except what was contained in its
very expressive caption. Nowhere in
the paper could we discover any attempt
to correct tue impression that might ma
turally be given by this connection of a lot
OF interruptions negro politicians, or to
present the opposite representations of
white men, On the same topic. Surprising,
however, that this omission might be ac-
cidental, we awaited the next issue of the
Boston Pilot, which has since come to
hand under the date of May 10th.
Unfortunately this number is no improve
ment On the former. Again it presents the
same ominous caption,
THE MASSACRE OF THE BLACKS
this time introducing the romance of Mr..
Packard addressed to Attorney General
Williams through the medium of the tele-
graph. Again not q word of warning
against being imposed on, not word init
mating that there was different version of
the affair to be consulted.
And let this sheet which thus makes
itself the organ Of some wicked negro plum
derers, and of the vilest political harpies
who ever robbed prosecuted people-this
sheet does not hesitate to address itself to
Southern patronage and to send it's partiz-
an issues down here among those whom it
thus not only insults but aids in opprcss-
ing.
The Boston Pilot has no excuse for it's |
political bigotry in the Puritanical climate |
where it exists. That splendid journal the |
Boston Post is visible proof that courtesy, |
honor, humanity and broad patriotism can
be combined with intellectual ability of
the highest order, as eminently in Boston
as elsewhere.

Obscene Literature.

We have been favored by Hen. c. L
Merriam, member from New York, with :
copy of his speech recently delivered il
Congress on the subject indicated in ou
! caption. 1t is truly startling, and indeed
fearful, in the details of infamy which it ii

country ir under debt of obligation te
the Hon. Member for his exertions in this
matter, and equally so to Mr.. Anthony
Comstock, Of the Young Mems Christian
Association of New York, for the indefati.
fatigable labor. Undergone by him in the
same cause.
MIR. Comstock writes to Mr.. Merriam.
that: " there were one year ago publish ed
in and about New York and vicinity, one
hundred and .forty-four different obscene
books" He continues, " have seized the
stereotype plates, steel and copper plate
engravings, etc., for one hundred and
forty-two OF these books" He has de-
stroyed moro than five tons of such works
besides immense quantities of indecent
pictures, engravings, photographs, songs,
etc.
These things were disseminated in incou-
ceivable quantities throughout the United
States, by means of the mail, and princi
pally among students and school children
of both sexes. The operators of this trade
would buy catalogues Of educational estab
lishments, giving lists of the names of pupils.
They would then send to the direction OF
some of these names, a list of their 'sfancyn
books as they call them, in hopes that Gu
riosity or prurient fancy, would suggest
q desire to order some of their beastIy
wares.
That they did not calculate without
reason, may be inferred from the fact
of the immense business which they have
succeeded in establishing. Think Of 4s2,.
GOO filthy photographs and other pict lures,
intended to DO circulated throughout the
country, bat fortunately seized aud de-
stroyed. Five tons of books specially
made to pander to the lowest appetites of
bestiality, would be enough to pass through

ST.. JosErH's FAIR.-owing to the severe
storms at the commencement of the week,
when the Fair was to have closed, the ladies
found it necessary to continue it till this,
Sunday, night, when all articles will be dis
posed Of Tho closing night being the one OF
all others for fun, we are satisfied that large
number of visitors will be present, besides all
of St. Joseph's parishioners. The great con-
test for the saddle, which has attracted so
much attention, will then be decided. The
five gentlemen engaged in it, as well as their
many friends, have been making great exer-
tions to eclipse each other, and there is no
doubt that the victor will be the observed of
all observers the occasion, for it will GER

atty, so evenly are the contestants matched

also excites much attention. Four or five young
ladies are contesting for it.

matters do not stapa In 30 defensibIe a
position. Though the great body OF our
people have maintained a peaceful attitude
and evinced law-abiding disposition,
certain hasty spirits have allowed their
patriotism to boil over. The attempt at
ASSASSINATION
was probably the effect of wl,isky, but
whatever may have been it's efficient cause
it was an attempt at kind Of crime which |
can never obtain countenance in this COM |
nunity. The Southern gentleman is, un-
happily, often too prone to the use of wea-
pons. but always on terms of equality and |
air contest. He never assails his enemy |
n the back, or from the cowardly cover of
\ crowd. In fact, we think eur people,
besides their ehivalrous instinct of fair |
'iay, have sense enough to know that the

'nd that, indeed, he will curse even q just
ause which resorts to such means.
