Letter from Governor Kellogg.

1.-THE following is copy of letter ad
dressed by Governor Kellogg to Auditor
Clinton in regard to act No. 81, promul.
gated in the REPUBLICAN of last Sunday:
STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department. Z
New Orleans, March II, 1874
To Hon. Charles Clinton, Auditor:
SIR-Act No. 81, session of 1874 promul-
gated in the official journal of the fifteenth
instant, was approved by me under a mis-
apprehension of the nature of the act, and
upon informal tion given from sources which
| believed to be reliable.
The Supreme Court of the State, am
informed, has already placed judicial
construction upon the law referred to in
act No. 81, and the attempt on the part of
the Legislature to give to that act another
meaning is a palpable interference on the
part OF the Legislature with the judicial de-
partment of the State.
do not hesitate to say that in my opinion
this act No. 81 should be considered by you
totally imperative and void recommend
that you so consider it in the discharge of
your official duties until otherwise directed
by judicial decision.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM P. KELLOGG.

Joe, the. Chimpanzee.

"Joe," the chimpanzee, which for
three years has had the honor of
separate apartment in the monkey
house at the Geological Gardens, re-
Gently died, after about two months
illness. OF all the members of the
apo tribe the chimpanzee is probably
the most tractable, and Of all chin
panzecs Joe was perhaps the best
tempered fellow that ever existed.
The readiness he always exhibited to
learn any now trick the ingenuity of
ihis keeper could devise was remarka-
bic; and the good temper he always
displayed when asked to perform them
for tho benefit of visitors was not less
surprising. He emulated the achieve
ments of Blondin and Leotard with
equal success, and seemed especially
proud of himself when he was ordered
to 90 through the series Of gymnastic
exercises which embraces the fcats
that have made the names Of those
men known all over the world.
If a nut were presented to him he
would not crack it in tho usual way,
but would place it under the donors
foot, and assist the process by admin
istering a sharp blow with his fist on
the toes of his unsuspecting visitor
lie always seemed devotedly attached
to his keeper, and when shut up
close in his room would summon him
by repeated knocks at his door. In
the evening, when the time for bid
ding him "good night" approached,
he used frequently to 60 into quite a
frenzy Of grief, tearing his hair, roll
ing on tho floor, and screaming out
like bad-tempered, spoiled baby with
extra strong lungs.
Nevertheless, he was really good
tempered, and never known to mali
ciously attempt to hurt any one. lie
would show his visitors to tho door
with the utmost politeness, turning
the handle and opening tho door
without assistance, and shaking hands
with his departing guests. Joe had
one fault. He might have taught
pickpockets a lesson in the pilfering
line of business which would have
borne dangerous fruit in London

The tears sparkled into Hcster's
eyes.
"Poor grip she murmured under
her breath.
"Don't say poor girlr" said Doc:

over now. What is the matter with
your hand ?" as his quick eye caught
sight of her bandaged wrist. ),
'Only q slight burn," she answered
in rather an embarrassed manner.
"Let me look at it," said he. "4es
I comprehend now. You are the
heroine of the littlo story I heard at
julio Renoux's yesterday. You iron
ed your sisters dress, soaring your
self thereby, rather than let those
poor girls suffer from her caprice"
He rose and walked once or twice
across tho room, in his old eccentric
way, while Hester sat, with trem'
bling fingers, at her sewing.
"Hester," he said, approaching
her, II wonder if l might dare to
speak all that is in my heart-if l
might tell you that this night l have
met my ideal of womanhood, and
that she is before me now? Hester,
dare I ask you to be my wife 2"
When Melicent Atheling came home
that night, cross and tired, with the
memorable white muslin dress all
crumpled and soiled, the flowers faded
in her bouquet, and her pearl tan
broken, she found Doctor Maylis and
Hester still tete-a-tete before the parlor
fire.
"Oh, Melicent," the elder sister fall
tcred, her eyes wet with happy dew,
Il have promised to marry Doctor
Maylis |"
And so Melicent's castle in the air
fell 10 ruins! 1t a0as Notifying to
have plain, simple, dark-faced Hestor
married the first, and to Doctor May
lis, of all persons in the world But
there seemed 70 be no help for it, and
Melicent cried herself to sleep that
night.
But Hester said her simple prayer ::
"Dear Father in Heaven, l thank
Thee for the treasure Of true mans
heart that Thou hast bestowed upon
me !'

HEALTHY FOOD.

The female lecturer, DR.. Everett,
gives tho following advice aBut food:
As one-half Of nervous smatter is
phosphorus, food: must tend to pro-,
duce phosphorus, I must ease my
mind on the question Of teeth. Chill,
dren under sixteen years, Of /. ago
should DO reared largely on brown
bread and milk; then they will pos
sess pearly teeth, brilliant eyes,
healthy complexions. Condiments
are denominations. Mustard, vinegar
and catsup, should be discarded and
salt INDUCED in sparingly. Sugar
and molassos comeundcr the head Of
condiments. Although some chem
lists and Psychologists advocate sugar
as an article of food, yet, because the
body makes sugar. from the starchy
food eaten, the pure article is un-
necessary. Neuralgia is an indica-
tion of deteriorated blood, and should
be cured by eating brown bread, oat-
meal porridge-anything containing
much bran.
No variety of wine should be drank.
Ever since the world was created
women have been mems tempters,
and should avoid encouraging them
in tho use of liquor. Women who in
any sense of the word indulge in al
coholic stimulants seem to lack refine
ment and true womanliness. Per-.
haps because af my Quaker education
I hold this idea. In the good time
coming, when women shall live SEN
sibly, dress sensibly, eat sensibIy,
morally speaking, they will have
more influence over their husbands.
Perhaps, could we look into the re-
mote causes Of the late panic, tho
fault would be found to lie with those
women who did not feed their hus-
bands sensiLly. For speculation, for
thought, for business, men need the
proper kind of food. Let women
feed their husbands on oatmeal,
porridgc and apples. Food should be
chosen with reference to the season.
In the spring vegetables and in tho
summer fruits should take the place
of heartier food. Men do not wear
well in New Hork; they are at their
prime at thirty-eight, instead Of fifty,
because their eating is not properly
regulated. If dinner must be served
at six, seven, or eight o'clock, let it
be light and the heavy meal eaten in
the morning. l am nota vegetarion.
Vegetarians arc often from necessity
gormandizcrs, because they must eat
so much in order to obtain q sufficient
amount of nutriment. [ believe in
an occasional piece of good roast
beef. Fish is an excellent article OF
food, but oatmeal is tho food par ex-
cellent. The Scotch possessing the
largest brains, tho highest degree OF
intellectually, and tine physique
arc nation Of oatmeal eaters.

Agricultural Experience.

DR.. e. NJ. Pendleton, Professor o
agriculture in the Georgia Agricul
tural College, in recent elaborate
report concerning the results Of ex
perimchtal farming, epitomizes some
valuable information as follows:
That the application Of soluble ma
nurcs in liquid form is better anc
more efficient than when applied ir
the dry state. H..
That lime will pay on soils abound
ing in organic matter; on othor soils
its application is of doubtful utility
That subsoils do not germinate
seeds, or grow plants like surface
soils.
That carly planted cotton will moi
produce as much as that planted la
ter, whom tho ground becomes warm
and the plant is not retarded tut
grows off vigorously and healthy.
That subsoiliug cotton lands will
pay for the extra labor on clay soils
That ono stalk in the hill will pro-
ducc moro cotton than two, or moro
stalks.
That topping of cotton is rather
detriment than an advantage to the
crop. -,
That cotton planted in narrow
rows two and a half feet wide and
fertiIized, on thin land, will produce
moro fruit than in wider rows, with
o scasonable year.
That five by three feet is the best
distance to plant corn on medium
land of a seasonable year.
That pulling fodder docs not seri-
ously injuro tho corn after it passes
the milk stage.
Fertilizers applied during tho
growth of the crop, to keep up o sup.
ply of nutrition to the rootlets, will
not pay under ordinary circumstan-
ces. ........ ....... .... .......
That stable manure, either fresh Or
rottcd, applied with a high-graded
superphosphate, makes a very efficient
fertilizer for cotton.
That cotton seed applied with the
germ killed (or green, if put: in deep,
in conjunction with good super
phosphate, makes u powerful fertili-
zer.
That largo crops of turnips can be
made on thin lands by the application
of supcrphosphate of lime, and, infe-
rentially, sheep husbandry might be
made profitable by feeding on turnips
and fertilizing the soil, as we'll as for
tho wool and mutton, and the conso-
quent reduction Of the amount of
cotton by the division of labor.
That subsoiling land for corn will
pay for the extra labor even OF q
seasonable year, much better Of a
dry year.
That a large amount Of fertilizers,
(sny half 4 ton per acrc) will not pay
with low-priced cotton.
That, with good cultivation, good
fertilizers win pay, even at the lowest
rates Of cotton; but, with bad cult
vation, they will hardly pay at any
puce.
That ashes treated with srlphurlc
acid will greatly improve their fertl-
lizing qualities.
That two hundred pounds OF q
good ammoniated supcrphosphate is
about tho quantity to be used on an
acre Of cotton.

What Sheep are Needed.

There has been, some discussion il
your columns as to what breed o.
sheep is most profitable. All breeds
are, if we'll kept, profitable. more OF
less, for all classes of wool are il
more or less demand. But the fol
lowing, from the New York Econo.
mist, goes to show that, just now, ii
will pay our farmers to take good
care of their long wooled sheep:
1t is true that it takes time tc
raise lambs and increase focks Of
sheep. AS yet there has not been
much increase in the production Of
the staple in our Northern or Yves
tern States; but what is lacking ir
quantity is to some extent made ur
in quality, for our markets now pre-.
sent lines of fancy woods from Vir
ginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio, which
are equal to any wool grown the
world over. The superfine fancy
clips from West Virginia are partic.
ularly choice, and will bear close
comparison with the finest Australian
and Silesian. The woods will com.
mand fancy prices at any time, nc
matter how stringent money may be-
for they ore always wanted for ope.
ra hannels. fine-faced doeskins or Ia.
dies worsted dress goods or braids,
and yet we fear enough Of the grades
will never be grown in the States to
supply the constantly increasing
wants of our manufacturers. The
demand for combing woods continues
very active; in fact, it is urgent, until
now, prices have rapidly risen, espe-
cially for Canadian. From a private
letter written by well-known firm
in Hamilton, recently, we are enabled
TO make the following extract:
"Coming wool cannot be got in any
quantities at present The country
has been secured all around for man.
ufacturefs in your State, and as high
as 44c gold, has been paid, and the
prospect is, it will 60 somewhat high
er. We estimate tho clip at 1,500,-
900 pounds"
This sounds like high talk; but
wait before the ink is yet dry on
the paper we write up, We havo ad-
vices still more astonishing-with
sales 46c. gold for Canadian combing,
and the best article is now held at
half a dollar gold. This would car
ry the price beyond 80 cents curren-
cy; and yet it is not a fortnight since
Mr. Walworth asserted he would not
pay over GO cents for a staple landed
in the States. Such are the enormous
demands for worstcd wools the world
over, that everywhere I'M Europe
and America, they ore bringing prices
out of proportion to fine clothing
grades.
: The Economist goes on to advise
the importation of Canada sheep to
cross with SaxonyC), in order to sup
ply the pressing demands for combing
woods. But if our breeders of long
woods would save all their owe lambs,
letting none &C to tho butcher, these
breeders would put the country into
o fair way of supplying the demand
at as quick, and far better rate. than
by following the advice Of the Econ
omist.-Cor. National Stock Journal.
