A tall tree. "1s it y make-beieve tree,
made out oftalIow, like candles ?" you ask.
On no : the tallow tree is real tree that
grows from twenty 20 forty feet high. It's
native place is China, but it has been trans
planted into sone OF our lighthouses. The
talloY comes from the seeds. They are pound
ed and boiled in water, when some hing like
fat rises on the top. This tat is skinned off
and when cold it is as white as snow AMI
almost as sof: The Chinese MIX this vegeta-
ole taliow with wax to harden it, and out OF
the mixture Candies which give a clear bright
light Now, then, ifyou want a candle, and
you know any one who has a hot-house with
a tallow tree in 1t, it would better for you to
buy candle in grocery tore for we do
not believe you could make one without
wasting a great many talIow plant seeds.

Louisiana,

10 Is a fact says tho st. Louis Republican,
worthy Of note that the Republican press of
the North has had little or nothing to say In
commendation Of the Presidents Louisiana
proclamation. Some Republican papers apol-
sgize for it, but the majority are entirely 81
lent about 1t. In the meantime the inde-
pendent opinion OF the North expresses itself
In about the following way in the Cincinnati
Commercial:
"Look at it as we will, making all allow
ances for tho frauds OF the November eec-
ton, and concsding that MeEnery's election
was not legally authenticated, tho eontinu-
anee Of the Kellogg administration by ihe
strong arm OF the general government is as
gross an outrage as was ever perpetrated up
on the rights OF the people, and has no de-
fence even in the mouths OF the members of
congress who persisted in sustaining the ac-
tion Of President Grant. AS We have said,
Kellogg's only course now Is to assume that
whoever Is in opposition 10 the Washington
administration and the party in power Is un-
tit to govern. That Is what 1t comes to In the
last analysis. AS treason to the nation
worked political disqualification during the
the war; so does opposition to the adminisra-
tion In time Of peace disqualify for office

sE- The Van Buren Press says" Colonel "
JAS A. Lockhart has been appointed Clerk Of
Crawford county. All right; but how came
Lockhart to be colonel? We knew him in
the 10Th u. ). infantry. when he was sergeant
in company Ii, and at which time he and 9TH
er non commissioned officers received from
us instructions in arithmetic and English
grammar Lockhart is good fellow, and
we doubt whether his vanity is sufficiently
great to feel particularly gratiliei at the APP
plication to himself of this false, high sound
ing title. The applying ofloity titles to per-
sons of little note. seems to he the mania OF
the day and the country. At teachers in
stitutes and associations we have heard the
title Of professor applied to persons who
actually did not possess the requisite qualif-
cations for successfully teaching II common
school. And, if our memory is correct we
have known newspaper, published not tal
from Pope county, to speak OF its editor as
"Col. " so ard so. With all the emphasis that
we are able to place upon paper, we say, Get
ont with such vanity and hypocrisy! Apply
titles if you choose, where they of right be-
long. but do not make sycophant Of your
self by applying the title of professor" to n
person who has not even a common school
education; or the rank of" colonel - to a per-
son who never wore even u shoulder strap
without bars.
That's all very good But did it never oc-
cur to Mr.. J. b. BEzzo, of the DarGanellc
argus, that something might happen that
he was not fully cOgnizant of? We know
not what position Col Locklart held in the
10Th infantry, but we do know that he is en-
titled to the title Of Colonel by commits
sion issued from Gov. lIadley, and still later,
to the title of Brigader-Gencral, from Gov.

-KEhfPER, AND. HUGHES SALARY
The reckless character Of General KEN
per,s statements in his speech last Mon
day, may be inferred from that in con-
nection with Colonel Hughes in his posi-
tion as United State district attorney.
kemper stated that Hughes had made
$4,000 a year out of the bankrupt
act, and hence there was good rea-
son for his drawing up q bill and getting
it passed.
When it is remembered that the act
for which Colonel Hughes claims
credit to which General Kemper
referred was only passed last March.
and that Colonel Hughes resigned
his position as United States district
attorney better than two months ago
only holding his Office four months after
the passage of the amended bankrupt act,
the truth of Kemper's assertion may be
judged. Further, the law itself creating
the office of district attorney limits tho
maximum amount of the salary per annum
to S6, 900, but at no time during Colonel
Hughes occupancy of it did it amount to
over $500 per annum.
! This reckless misstatement of fact by
General Kemper was in keeping with the
general character of his speech Halley
Virginian.
