the oxidation by the oxygen OF the air Of

heating is usually checked by frequent
stirring. But this only checks it for a
time, and afterwards, by the increased ac-

is to pack the surface down solidly, by
simply treading upon the heap with the
feet, (aiter pulverization) or, still better,
to spread little earth over the pile, tax

method tends to exclude air, and thus pre-

Past and Present.

This age is wise with wisdom slowly culled,
And men, grown bold, like well-trancd hunters
leap
From crlg to crag of truth, with sight undulled,
Oer precipices steep.
But when our fathers trod the level plains,
The stars shone brightly in the gentle streams,
The rainbow arched above the summer rains,
And sleep brought happy dreams.
The world is rolling swift and far away
From morning msts and early morning light,
And in the fulness of the middle day
No shadows meet the sight.
But reaching from that soft and shifting sky
OF early dawn radiant pathway shone,
And angels in the morning ventured nigh,
Who in the noon are gone!

We copy from the New York Times two

correspondent of that paper, who seems to
have made a speciality of Mississippi, and
who Is working up-with a show of figures
and the seeming of circumstantiahty-a case
against Chalmers, primarily, but against the
whole State ultimately. That this work of
j.. R. - viii be ayailed of by the Republican
party, both against Lamar and Chalmers, we
have no doubt; it behooves our friends in
Mississippi, therefore, to be up and stirring,
and Immediately to prepare evidence, such as
we know they can procure from even Repub-
hcan sources, to Counteract the influences
now at work, and which -. r. evidently
represents. General Chalmers should imme
diately secure the affidayits of the Radical
officehOlders who spoke and voted for him,
and General George, the indefa6gable head
Of our party in Mississippi, should make
special note of the counties which - r.
mentions so ghbly, and procure from them,
as we believe lie can, testimony to completely
refute all that that most industrious Radical
has put in print. To permit Lamar and
Chalmers to be counted out for want of such
work as we suggest, would be to lose a
present victory and much of the hope in
spircd by the fact that Mississippi is Demo-
cratic.

Brothers OF the Louisiana
Thieves.

The news this morning from the States
now struggling in the tolls of the Radical
thieves is cheering in one respect at least.
The infamous returning board of Louisiana
stamped infamous by congress, by General
Sheridan, and others-has been caught in the
act Of swindlng, and in way so barefaced
that even John Sherman, of Ohio, had to con-
fess the fact. Wells wilted, Anderson was dazed,
Kenner was dumb as any oyster lie ever
opened, and Cazenave was as silent as any
grave he ever filed. The clerk spoke. But
it would have been better he had never
opened his mouth He told a lie to cover the
attempt to "bulldoze," but was discovered
in it, and, upon producing the document that
was to fortify his falsehood, only produced a
series of documents that confirmed the origi-
nal crime. And yet this is only sample OF
the means lesOlted to in. Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina to cheat the Democrats
ont OF their hard-earned victory. The same
thing has been done over and over again in
secret session, for, as the leading German ed
itor of New York, Mr.. Ottendorfer, says,
These people will not be deferred either by
an appearance of absurCity or of villainy in
their proceedings" Now the question Oc-
cars, What Will the north say? Leaving
that question to be answered, and coming to
the figures made by the count of parishes so
far as it has progressed, we find that Hayes
is now only 937 votes ahead of Tldcn, with
a majority of the Democratic parishes to hear
from, the following being the exhibit in
