Affairs are, once again, becoming Sc
rions in Louisiana. Civil war is indeed
imminent. There is no question, per
baps, that both parties believe them
selves right, but if civil war should break
forth in its fury, @A the bloodshed there
in and all the property thereby destroy
ed will rest at the enemys door. Poor
Louisiana is but reaping the crop, the
seed of which was sown by John Slidell,
wears ago. to hasten on the work OF Sc
cession. rebellion and a confederated
south. Gideon Welles was right when
he said that the immense frauds ana cor
runtions which have since disgraced the
elections of Louisiana, destroying conf
dence IN the fairness and integrity OF
elections, are clearly traceable to John
Shden. The whole present trouble
grows out of the gross frauds and cor
ruption practised in the November eiec-
tion in that State. The principal point
of contest seemed to be which side couid
4 cheat the most. The whole election is
1 rotten through and through with fraud
and corruption on both sides. we think
il would be impossible to now ascertain
whether Kellogg or McEnery received
the greater number of legal votes. Not
withstanding this, the crime OF clyyll1l war,
if there should be one, and all the lives
sacrificed thereby will be justly ascrlb-

THE NEW CABLE CoMBINAlIoN.-lhe ne
dispatch from Halifax announcing that
work was suspended on the new cable
Iayinp between that port and Nalentla
ASSIGNED as a reason the recent amalga-
nation of the various cable interests into
one combination. An inquiry in proper
quarters developed the truth OF tnat
Statement. The French company, which
had succeeded to all the rights and pr1v-
iIeCes of the original organization, was
nr0ceeding to carry the cable to its orig
inal destination. but the junction Of in
terests with the New York. Newfoupd-
land and London Company, which pos
sessed the exclusive right TO land on that
island. enabled il to transfer the terminus
70 Hearts Content The chief adyan-
tooe of the change will be IN the nearly
two and half times speedier transmits
sion of messages. Hearts Content is
nearly 100 miles nearer to Nalentia
than Halifax, and this difference ID ihe
length of the lines operates IL retaruing 3
the messages on the longer line TO the
| above extent. Both the french anu
Fnolish engineers agree IN tnls conciu-
/ e1on. and il is for this reason that a dl-
1 rect line across the ocean IS considered
/ nv some impracticable. On the entlre
/ distance of 5000 miles 1t Is computed
that but five words a minute could be
transmitted. 1t is for this reason, then,
that the proposed change Is contem'
! nlated. Newfoundland would probably
originally have been chosen as the ter

New York, Newfoundland and London
Company excluded all others, whicl
cause no longer operates, as the organi

what is being done in East Dorset.
THE MARBLE BUsINEss-HOW THE QUAR-
RIEs ARE woRKED-THE MOUNTAIN RAIL


ROAD.
We very often hear the remark, "Wby,
East Dorset is not much of place" DO
not be so easily deluded. Stop off here
with me to-day and | viii go up to the
quarries and show you that we are not
poor. Let us first go into Mr.. d. L.
Kent & CO. s marble mill. This is not
''stone mill" as you might suppose, but
is handsomely built brick mill, having
a splendid engine to supply the motive
power, and driving machinery which is
capable of and did cut out over $4,000
worth of marble in the month of April
You ask, where does all this marble
come from 1t comes from the two
quarries in the mountain. One is known
as the ''blue quarry and the other the
''north quarry" The former is owned
by ID. L. Kent & Co 1t is in itself
quite a geological wonder, on account of
the hight above the level of the valley,
1t is about / 800 feet above the valley
and $4,000 feet above the level of
the sea. In this quarry are two drilling
and one channelling machine. The drill
ing machines are capable of cutting 300
feet per dav, and the channeller cuts
about 80 cubic feet The north quarry
is worked very differently from the
other This is tunnel into the side of
the mountain. nearly four hundred feet,
and is worked entirely by hand.
Here is another quarry owned by j..
X. Freddy & Son. from Philadelphia,
who are also the owners of the railroad
up the mountain, which is one of the
greatest pieces of engineering in the
State. The road is nearly a mile in
length. and has a grade of 200 feet to
the mile 1t starts at the mill, which
stands. few rods from the Harlem EX-
tension railroad and runs straight to the
quarry. 1t is operated by a wire cable
which runs over two large spOols at the
top. ON each end of this cable are two
cars. The two at the top are loaded,
and, without any urging, start for the
mill. When they reach the centre OF the
road they meet the other cars going up,
and in this manner they carry uoWn as
much marble at one load as could bc
drawn with three yoke of oxen, in two
DAYS, and this is accomplished in les
than twenty minutes.
This is ''stone mill, it being built OF
marble. 1t is arranged SO that they un
shacllc the cars from the cable, and ruf
them along the side of the mill, where
they unload them, putting their loads
on to other cars, that are run into tht
mill, and form the carriage on which thu
block stands while being sawed.
They ship here from fifteen to twenty
cars Of marble per week, most Of i
going to Philadelphia, via Hudson
n. Y, and thence by boat.
We have not described the ''Glas
Sand Bed" or the "Ore Bed" but an
other time l will try and confirm m,
assertion that eve are something OF

door was Immediately surrounded by
large and excited crowd who commenced
jeering and denouncing him. Just as
Kellogg was being driven off some one

Immediately piled his whip and drove up

At Brashear City the the boats have
all been seized by the citizens, and the

A special dispatch from New Iberia to
the Pscayat1ae, Wednesday, said that
sharp engagement took place that day at
St. Martinsville. The police at about
2:15 p. M, made sortie from the town
and attacked the forces of Col. De
Blanch who fell back before them. The
police fired both solid shot and shell
from their cannon, but without effect:
They advanced about mile and a half
beyond the town and made a stand, but
retreated after a brisk skirmish before
the advancing forces of Col. De Blanch.

ed beautiful skiff from Ogdensburg,
one of Bailey's best. 1t is of cedar,

morning just after passing the crossing
on West street. The switch above the

train was thrown on the Rutland and

on to the ties.
The engine, H. E. Chamberlin, was
thrown completely off, and the two cars
Immediately following also ran off. No
one was injured, though all had a mar
row escape, as the engine was stopped
on the edge of a steep embankment. As
soon as the engineer discovered he was
off he promptly whistled down brakes
and succeeded IN stopping his engine

last Friday there were tour distinct
shocks of earthquake noted in Malone,
Fort Coyington, ogdensburg, and we
40 moi know how many other end how
remote places. They were each accom-
nanied by heavy sound as of a distant
explosion. followed by low, rumbling
sound of some seconds duration The
shocks were only severe enough to jar
houses and rattle windows. We oeieve
they were the only ones OF note SINCE
Oct. 26. 1860, when perhaps the heaviest
we have ever known occurred, ana
which extended all along the northern

milton remains until revoked or changed
by the President, or, perhaps, until the
courts have passed upon the case, if a
case can be presented to them, or until
after the next election. McEnery is,
undoubtedly, honest in the belief that
he was legally elected, but he knows
that Kellogg is, in fact, Governor and
entitled to be recognized as such. He
must also know that, in the present situ-
alton, if he, McEnery, attempts to act
as Governor, he is an usurper. When,
therefore, he organizes militia, counsels
resistance to taxation and refusal to
obey the constituted authorities, he ad-
vises and consents to civil war. If the
authorities of Louisiana are not able to
preserve the public peace, the law of
the land makes it the duty of the Presi-
dent, upon the application OF the Cover
nor when the Legislature is not in ses-
sion, to furnish sufficient number of
United States soldiers to compel an obedi-
ence to the laws. This he could doubt
less do, for he has, hitherto, been found
faithful in the discharge of every duty.
The power of the United States has never
been successfully resisted, and probably
never will be. We should deeply regret
to see blood flow in Louisiana, and the
State again under the control of the
United States army, but upon McEnery
and his advisers rests the responsibility.

The amount of gastric juice secreted by

been estimated at from 60 to 80 ounces in

tains no gastric juice except where food is
taken, and by its contact with the surface of
the mucous membrane excites the secreting
organs to pour out the gastric fluid in the
requisite quantity. If the stomach is in
healthy condition, and the brain healthy, the
quantity of gastric juice generated or thrown
out will be just sufficient for healthy diges-
ton. If the condition of either organ be i'm.
paired, the gastric juice secreted may be
either deficient in quantity or vitiated in quail

ways of covering corn, the hoe, the plow, the
harrow, and the foot of the dropper, but |
have found none so good as the board, just
such as is commonly used for covering cotton.
1t is quicker by far than anything but the
