How 1t Was Done in Mississippi.

A CORRESPONDENT OF the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from Jackson tells
how the thing was done in Mississippi.
There was universal apprehension OF an
outbreak, and great many families were
sent to Vicksburg, that city having been
SO garrisoned with police and special OIL
GERS as to be considered safe. All the whites
were armed, and all the negroes knew
it, There was general and polite under
standing that too much Republieanism
meant blood; everyone knew that a single
spark of trouble would kindle war, and
everyone was careful accordingly When
a negro approached the polls with Re
publican ticket in his hands he was met
with bantering entreaties TO change II for
a Democratic ticket. and with the memory
Of Clinton fresh in his mind he was ordi-
nariiy easy 10 convert. A favOrite trick
was TO bet with q negro that he was afraid
70 vote the Democratic ticket-bet him
two dollars; and pay him the money afler
he had won II, MS he generally did whether
he wanted 10 or not. AS II was in Jack
SON so II was all over the State, except in
some places where chat was discarded TO
make room for open threats, which served
equally we'll The State was carried by
the Democrats as much by terrorism as
though they had driven the cOlored men
from the polls at the bayonet's point.--

The Returning Tide.

LAST year the Democrats carried the
State of New York by 50,317 majority
Now their majority will not much exceed
10000, and the Republicans have both
houses of the Legislature.
Last year the Democrats carried Penn.
,sylvania by a majority of 6,670. Now
they lose the State by about 5000
Last year the Democrats carried Massa-
chuseus by 7,032. Now they lose the
State by several thousand.
In 1878 the Democrats of Wisconsin
elected Gov. Taylor by 15,412. Now he
is probably defeated for reelection by
over 1000.
n 1878 the Republicans of Minnesota
elected their Governor by 5,519. Now
they elect their Governor by not less than
10000.
Two years ago the Democrats, by as
suming all sorts of false names and dis.
guises, carried the State of Illinois Now
the recent result at county elections shows
that the Republican party is stronger than
ever.
In 1878 the Democrats of Ohio elected
old Bill Allen Governor by Sl7 majority
Last month he was defeated for re-elec,
ton by about 5000.
1t is very evident that the people are
waking up to the fact that next year there
will be a Presidential election, and they

SuperfIuous Women.

Mary A. Livermore says in her new lect-
ure: Let me not be understood as de-
preciating marriage and setting myself
against it. Nay, l magnify marriages! !
True marriage gives an antetaste of
heaven. There can be no country worth
living for that is not based on home and
family resulting from marriage. Never
theless | object to the theory that mar
riage is the final cause of women, the sole
object of her creation, because it is incor-
rect and harmful. The theory that mar
riage is the only business of woman's
life cannot be practically carried out with
women. Facts are against it. While
there are on an average usually about 105
or LOG boys born into the world to every
100 girls thero has boon suoh wasto of life
among men through war, dangerous pur-
suits, drunkenness and protiigacy that,
taking the world over, there are, and al
ways have been since the days of authen-
tic history, more marriageable women in
the world than men. In 1860 the average
number of marriages in the United States
was 75 TO 100 manageable women.
Since then we have passed through the
tive-years' war of the rebellion, in cOnse-
quence of which nearly 100000 men
since lives. In addition there has
since Deen SiO"a--z rnorh,d luxurv
among DOtn men ana women winch, aulI-
ed TO the expensiveness of living, have
tended to greatly restrict marriage. The
State census of Massachusetts, just COM
pleted, informs US that there are now
63, ,054 more women than men in the State,
and that the disparity is increasing yearly.
The theory that marriage offers to woman
her only career of usefulness leads us to
do injustice to the great army of the un-
married. They not only drop down in
general estimation, so that we speak
slightingly of them as old maids and super
fluous women, but neglect to provide for
them and to give them the training neces-
sary for their successful living and proper
development. Mr.. Greg, the charming
English essayist, calls unmarried women
" redundant and superhuous women, -
and has written an elaborate paper in an
swer 10 the question: Why are women
redundant;n He not only attempts to an
swer this question, succeeding only in
differently we'll, but he raises another
query, which he also undertakes to an
swer "What shall we do with these su-
perfluous womenP" And after a full dis
cussion of the whole subject, TO which he
carried kindly spirit, he is unable to
suggest any other provision for these su-
perfiuous women than expectation. You
must do with them as you do with ann
other commodity with which the markA
is overstocked-as Delaware did last sun
when its peach crop was overwhelmingB
uperfiuous-you must export them. &c
women must emigrate.

COrn.Husks.

The consumption of corn -husks in the
making of mattresses and the like is be-
coming immense in all our large cities.
Chicago takes its full share, but it is lit
tie singular that the great bulk of the sup
ply comes from the region of Baltimore,
Md. Illinois has corn-husks sufficient to
bed the world were they properly saved
and marketed. Good, clean, brighthusks
are worth from $40 to $50 per ton here.
The Germans in this vicinity, who prepare
them by hand, with especial care, and
sell them in small quantities, realize con-
siderably more than this. But in gather
ing them in large quantities hand-work is
out of the question. In gathering, take
the clean, unstained, inside. .husks as far as
possible. They are then run through the
ordinary threshingmachine, moving the
cylinder so that the teeth of the cylinder
will pass the points of those of the con-
cave sufficiently near TO tear the husks into
strips. The wind will carry off the silk
and dust. The husks may be baled in an
ordinary hay or cotton press.-Pra5rie

Profitable InXestment.

In these times any man who has money to
invest desires to place it where it will make
the best return. This being admitted, we
undertake to say that $500 invested in the
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN will return ten fold
its cost to the subscriber during the year.
Talk no more of hard times when you can
get an illustrated newspaper of the high
character of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, con-
tanning sixteen pages full of engrayings
every week, postage free, for $500 year,
equal in measurement to 1000 book pages.
The fact that this paper has been published
every week for thirty years, and has a larger
all other papers of its kind in the world, is
a sufficient guarantee to new subscribers
that they will get the paper regularly, and
all the numbers they pay for, and it is fur
nlshed so cheaply that no farmer, mechanic,
inventor or manufacturer can afford to do
without it,

The Stanley Expedition.

Keeping Sweet-POtatoes.

TIE cultivators of sweet potatoes in the
South do not find it very difficult to keen
the tubers through winter in very much
the same manner as our Northern farmers
do their Irish potatoes. But the climate
of the two regions of country is so widely
different that a method of preservation
which answers admirably for one may be
totally unsuited to the other. In addition
to this, the maturity of the tubers has
much to do with their keeping qualities
and this Is just where the Northern grown
fall short of the proper conditions fol
making good and safe beginning. The
tubers are very likely to be half-ripe when
frosts and cool weather hasten the dig.
ging, consequently they are more or less
bruised and broken in handling, decay
commencing soon after being taken from
the field.
But if the tubers are really sound and
mature they may he kept through winter
with proper care. In the first place, they
must be thoroughly dried before storing
This drying is of the utmost importance
for if packed away wet, or even with the
skins moist, decay is certain, and in {
very short time.
If dry, warm room is available, theI
very little packing will be required.
layer of dry leaves in the bottom of tn,
barrel and then layer of potatoes, and 81
on until the barrel is full, will be suf
ficient. But if the potatoes are to b.
stored in cellar, however dry and warm
it is seldom safe to risk the tubers in any
thing but kiln-dried sand. The potatoe
should be carefully packed in barrels, thei
the dry sand poured on until ali the inter
stices between are filled up. The barrel
should also be elevated few inches from
the bottom of the cellar in order to pre-
vent any dampness from entering iron
that direction.
Chaff or cut straw will, of course
answer as we'll as leaves for packing, but
aside from keeping dry and warm, tn
main thing is to secure good, well-ripeneC
and sound tubers to begin with. Tn

and Surgeons at the Worlds Dispensary.
Whoever helps humanity In It's struggle, with
It's Inherent weaknesses ana diseases, to
bear or cure, is It's benefactor. Ignorance is
not only Of itself q cause Of disease and
mortality, but II is the enemy Of every effort
to cure or mitigate. Nothing will so speedi-
ly remove this cause as knowledge IAN elc-
mentary one, at least) of the diseases to
which we are heir, as well as those superin-
duced by our own imprudence. DIR. Pierce
has rendered, in our Judgment, benefac-
tors service, both to the afflicted and TO the
profession, In his diagnosis Of the diseases
treated Of, and in the presentation OF the
philosphic principles involved in their cause
and removal. He Is sparing of remedies,
and usually sprescribcs such as arc safe In
unskilled hands. AS a book merely Of abb
stract knowledge, IL Is exceedingly readable
and interesting especially the following sub
jects: Cerebral Physiology, Human Temper
aments, Pseudo Hygiene, the Nursing of the
chapter on another subject, so delicate In its
nature that 1t Is shut up beyond the domain
of warning to all but physicians, so ac-
cursed in its results in modern society, he Is
most explicit, and, alike true to God, to vir-
tue, to life and TO society, shows the truth
as presented in the teachings Of Scripture
that life begins with coEteption--with great
force, TO which is added faithful warnings.

more interesting and profitable than either or
both would be separately.
