Nutritious Food.

An interesting report on the compare.
tivesnutritive properties of food was late
ly presented to the French Minister of
the Interior by Messrs. Percy and Van
quelin, two members of the Institute.
The result of their experiment is as fol-
lows In bread, every 200 pounds
weight are found to contain 80 pounds
of nutritious matter; butcher meat,
averaging the various sorts, contains
only 81 pounds in 100 pounds French
beans, Is pounds /; peas, % pounds
lentils, 81 pounds (; greens and turnips,
which are the most aqueous of all vege-
tables used for domestic purposes,
furnish only 8 pounds of solid, nutri-
tious substance in 100 pounds carrots,
IA pounds and what is very remarka.
BILE, as being in opposition to the &C.
knowledged theory, 100 pounds of pota-
toes only yield 80 pounds of substance
valuable as nutritious. According to
this estimate l pound of good bread is
equal to q or 3 pounds of best potatoes
and rs pounds of bread and 30 pounds
of butcher meat are equalto 800 pounds
of potatoes. Or, again, pound OF
rice or broad beans is equal to three
pounds of potatoes while pound Of
potatoes is equal to pounds of cab
bage and to 8 pounds of turnips. This
calculation is considered perfectly cor
rect, and may be useful to families
where the best mode of supporting
nature should be adopted at the least
expense.

but known by Botanists as Polygonunp Pune

modest little plant found growing in bitches,
low grounds, among rubbish and about brooks

To CURE THE BITE OF A MOSQUITO.
Mix sweet oil and spirits of ammonia
in equal parts and apply. This is good
also for the bite of other poisonous in
sects. A powerful acid is injected be-
meath the surface of the skin during
the bite /; ammonia neutralizes the acid.
A strong solution of soda or saleratus
would answer the purpose.

"CONSIS ,ENOY A JEWEL"

The Picayune is using its utmost energy to
belittle and disband the Democratic organiza-
ton.
In fact, in the very issue in which the arti
Gle appeared to which attention is now called,
is an editorial, the whole tendency of which
is to create distrust upon the part of our peo-
pie in the Democracy.
For weeks past, articles of similar import
have regularly appeared in its columns, and
yet, strange to say, in conspicuous place
appears the following, in its evening issue Of

THE POSITION OF GOV. McENERY.

The following letter, written by Gov. Nc

As it definitely explains the position OF
Gov. McEnery, in the recently published

MONROE, July 80, 1874
MY dear Sr-l regret very much that my ae-
tlOn in signing the recent communication ad-
dressed from this place by several prominent
gentlemen Of N nth Louisiana to the Democratic
Central Committee, at New Orleans, has been so
much misunderstood and misinterpreted by my
many friends in New Orleans. My purpose was
to create the very reverse of the feeling which
seems to have spru g up in your city upon the
publication OF the document in question. In
view of the dissenson I saw arising i'll
many parishes, l thought that the sug-
gestions and recommendations contained IN
sions, and present the white people
oil the State in one unbroken phalanx to Radical
ism, which, in the parlance Of al right thinking
people OF Lou slana, means the spoliatIon and
robbery, under legal forms. finer property and
all their substance. 1t was the purpose and in
ientlon OF that paper to allay all dissension and
to unite the white people upon one common pur-
pose, VIZ to drive nom power and place the Off
clal roDDefs VINO nave brought Louisiana to the
very depths of ruin and to install III their plae es
men of capacity and integrity. Far was it rom
the intention Of the gentlemen who advised the
issuance IF that munication to our Central
Committee to disntegrate or to demoralize the
Democratic organization; on the contrary
We sought the and and cooperation of the organ
OF the u, moc'atic party, and without Its pow
ertul cooperation, we dare not (as the
very terms of the address will show
intend to proceed one step further in the
premises. While l. in common with the other
gentlemen who signed that communication,
regret that the state Central Committee did not
carry into effect our suggestions IN the further
ance OF unity and harmony in the opposition to
yet, as the representatives of the
public sentiment Ne believe we reflected we have
but one duty to perform. and that is to submit to
the decision Of the State Democratic Central
Committee, which probably understands the
situation better than We do, and go steadily and
to work and not only make the
Convention called by the Committee a success,

'f the Radical party, that has plunged our state
nto the very abyss of rum and bankruptcy.
We cannot afford dissension. The issues in
