This means that Northern men living

the Democratic State Committee that
Dir. Tilden runs behind the State ticket
certainly gives an air of truth to their
report.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. eight o'clock
Monday morning the small wooden build
ing on First street, west of Fox Bros.
brick, belonging to Jas. II. Foster. was dis
covered to be on fire. The alarm was
given and the fire department promptly
turned OUT, but the Chief and other eiti-
zens succeeded in extinguishing the fire
with few buckets of water. The fire.
from all appearances, was the work Of an
incendiary. Paper apparently soaked with
coal oil, had been placed in the back room
under 4 couple of bundles of shingles, and
probably slow match applied, with the

This fire is not the first fruits of incendiar-
ism in this city, and although parties have
been suspected, no arrests have ever
been made. Isn't it high time that our city
authorities took some action in the matter,

might at least offer a reward sufficient to
induce a good detective TO look into the

SILK CULTURE.

When we remember the singular ad-
vantages which Louisiana presents for the
culture of silk, it would seem that there
must be some physical impeachment not
apparent to casual observation. which has
prevented it's adoption. It seems one of
those simple industries requiring little
capital and no especial skill to conduct.
If the business should 60 no further than
the production of the eggs; if it should
advance step further, to gathering CO.
coons, there would seem now good mar
ket for either. The filature of the silk,
its weaving and coloring, may be deferred;
but surely the preliminary work OF silk
manufacture may be performed profit
ably any where within the limits of Louis
lana. Few persons absorbed in the pur-
suits or distractions of our city are, per-
haps, aware of the extent to which silk
culture has been carried in the United
States, or that by consequence there
should be market already existing for
the primitive production to wmch we
have referred. A few days since Hon.
Mr.. Kelley, the great advocate Of home
industry, asked the House Of Represen-
tatives to take up bill ''for the admis-
sion of machinery. for the preparation OF
raw silk free Of dut y" In support of this
motion be explained why the culture of
silk has never succeeded in this country.
One reason was, that it was produced
and prepared by women and children in
countries where the labor of skilled men
commanded but nominal wages; the ether
was, that there was no market for il in
this country, as silk goods we're not man
ufactured here, and there was conse-
quently no market for the raw material.
The first objection he proposed to relieve
by the application Of ingenious ma
chinery now in use in France for Keeling
silk from the cocoon. In the course Of
the debate Mr.. Kelley stated t
Disease has attacked tho silk worms OF
