Pickled Shrimps.

For years it has been the wonder of the
ardent lovers of the delicate products OF
our Southern waters, why she superb
shrimps of the Mississippi river were not
put up in pickle and furnished for the mar
ket in condition to delight the palate at
all seasons OF the year. This idea has been
carried into practice, it seems, by Mrs.
James H. Young, of the Crescent City
Aviary. No. 235 Gasquet street. She has
beer for some months delighting the public
with her superb preserves, of dozen varie-
ties. She has now introduced picked
shrimps to our good eaters, and will no
doubt find ready market for them as soon
as their fine flavor and excellent method of
preparation are understood.

Louisiana Traditions.

1t is to be regretted that many peculiali j.
ties Of social speech and usage which for
merly existed in Louisiana should be oblit
Grated BY the rising tide of progress and
the customs of different people.
The historian, Gayarre, has said
With the coming of new generations the
ofd ditties which the gangs of negroes used
TO sing while At work in the fields and with
which they enlivened their labors have
ceased. Quaint colonial expressions have
ceased, and the weeds of oblivion are daily
creeping over and concealing the vestiges OF
the past, as also those traditions which were
the impress of the tootsteps of time, while
tne nand OF neglect destroys or allows to
perish those public and private manuscripts
which, like fossil bones in the hands of the
geologst, might have helped the historian
10 reconform the phy siognomy of Louis
lana.
We cOnfine ourselves at present to few
comments upon the native melodies and
ballads OF Louisiana, many of which are
imbued with the peculiar rhythm and plain
tive sentiment of the African race.
The effect OF this pronunciation of the
French language produced a patois which
W. S'AA cS0ANO piClCHu W Lit
peculiarities of which We speak have pro
duoed some melodies which give wild and
melancholy cadence to the songs of the
creole Degro. 1t may be remarked tha,
the same character may be noted in all the
melodies of African origin throughout the
Southern States.
The same historian has procured one OF
these chants which preserved the tradition
OF Artaguette, "who left behind him a long
memory, which made his violin, his talents
and his deeds familiar to succeeding gene
rations." The words in patois are:
Ditems missile d'Artaguette,
Ht! Ho! He!
Cetait, cetdt bon tens
Tete menin monde a Ia baguette,
He! Ho! Hel
Pcs negree pas robans.
Pas diamans
Pour dochans,
He' Hoi He!
1t would be well if some one more ia
miliar with the language and sent men,
than we can pretend to be would rescue
and preserve these chants soon to be for
gotten in the change of ideas which accom-
pany the era of emancipation and educs
ton.
A very intelligent lady, familiar in hel
childhood with these charsons, has taken
some pains to make us comprehend the
words and to appreciate the cadence of one
of those best known and, we may say with
out fear of criticism, most beautiful. 1t is
that so familiar as mo rAime Toi Chere >
The ballad, of which we subjoin fragment
expresses the passion of an African slave
for beautiful slave girl, who, from the

The Fate of the Trade Dollar.

It was stroke. OF policy on the
part of our Government to devise
in the trade dollar a coin which
should compete with the Mexican
dollar, and eventually drive it al :
most out of the Chinese market.
After reaching that country it en-
counters an ignominous fate. The
Chinese send it to India for the
purchase of opium. They go into
the Calcutta Mint and come out as
rupees, which are stamped with the
native characters on one side and
the value of the place on the other
The trade of China with India in
opium exceeds that of all other
commodities, as is shown by tho
reports of the Chinese customs
service. The amount returned for
the last eight years, exclusive of
the amount struggled, which would
probably double it, is f97, 44O, $780,
The amount of American silver
which annually goes to India from
China to pay for opium is immense
A base use for SO beautiful a coin
as the trade dollar, surely.-San

Tragic Scene at n Clambake.

The pilots Of Hell Gate and Long
Island Sound gave a clam-bake at
City Island. on the 31st ult., to Con-
gressmen and other distinguished
persons residing during the summer
on the Sound. Among the company
was Signor Vianni, said to be of the
suite Of Count Dorte. the Italian
Minister. After the clam bake and
the company had enjoyed themselves
making speeches and singing songs,
Doctor Doremus announced that Sig
nor Vianni would give recitation in
imitation Of Ristori. -
Mr.. Vianni took his position in the
centre of the group; his voice was
clear and we'll controlled, his gesticu-
lations highly dramatic, his limbs
seemed to CULVER with passion, while
the expression of his face was start

A Pittsburg paper, devoted to
the interest of the trades unions, is
using whatever talent it has to in
spire the working classes with a
hatred of capitalists, aud to incul-
cate the necessity Of Government
interference whenever the manufac.
turer, or coal operator, undertake
to manage his business in his own
way, and in accordance with those
laws of supply and demand that,
affecting the profits of his own in
yestment, naturally affect also the
wages of labor. Now, it is per
fectly allowable, under the law, for
any class of men to combine to-
gether not to work for less than
certain remuneration, or not to
work more than q certain number
of hours daily, and they are quite
free to do SO, provided they do not

Natures Revenge.

The London Atheneum says:
sThe Imperial Academy of Scien-
ces at Vienna has taken up a ques
ton in which all Europe may be
said to be overwhelmingly, the
decrease of the quantity of water
in springs, streams, and rivers. A
circular, accompanied by an able
and instructive report, has been
addressed to scientific societies in
other countries in the hope that
they may be persuaded to under
take observations which, in course
of time, may furnish data for prac-
teal use. The Academy calls ats
tention to the fact that for some
years past diminution of the wa
ters of the Danube and other great
rivers has been noticed, and especi-
ally since the modern practice of
cutting down forests without re-
gard to consequence has prevailed.
The Au TRAN Engineers and Arch
fleets Union have also taken the
question in hand, and appointed %
'Hydrotechnic Committee to col
lect facts and prepare a report.
The Danube the Elbe, and the
Rhine were each assigned to two
members, while the other two were
to examine into the meteorology of
the subject, and into the influence
which glaciers and Alpine torrents
may have on the general result.
The committee regard the question
as urgent; they recommend the
Immediate adoption of remedial
measures, and they are unanimous
in declaring that the prime cause
of the injurious decrease of water
is the devastation of forests It
cannot be too strongly pressed up
on all in the United Kingdom that
the system of ihjudicious drainage
of agricultural districts has serious
ly interfered with the natural con-
dition of all our rivers" E.

turned in his hands and hit him on

of profits to q minimum, asks of his
workmen to share with him the de-

it be that capital embarked in in

result will follow that the capital
ist will withdraw his investment,
sell out his works, and employ his
money in other ways, where it may
draw certain interest without
coming into conflict with labor. or
being dependent on its caprices.
