HoMEoPkrHIo Pms. = The Boston
Trareiter tells the following on the au-
thority Of truth-telling auctioneer Of
that city: "a year or more ago the
auctioneer had for sale lot of homeo-
pathic medicines. ALI these medicines
were dumped into one pile and disposed
Of in one lot, there being various kinds
Of medicines in the mass. A boarding
house keeper bought the lot, and some
days after the purchase the auctioneer
asked her, What did you do with that
medicine, Mrs. -Y She replied, 4
thought could use it, and it was cheap,
and so l crushed it under the roller and
then filled my sugar bowls with it.
The boarders seemed to like it, and es-
pecially when powdered over pies.'"

A CURIOUS calculation has been made
in the printing Office of Paris news
paper. Assuming that good compost
tor handles "a, 600 letters day, and
that his hand moves one foot with each
letter in taking and setting the type, il
will be seen that his hand travels 48 ,0OC
feet, or nearly ten miles q day, and in
the course of a year, excluding Sun
days, travels fully the distance from
Paris to New York.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES. - We do
not wonder that the exhibition Of Amer
ican manufactures in Philadelphia has
startled a number of intelligent Eng
lishmen, who are now writing to the
London Times, praising the skill and
taste of American workmen, and warn
ing their own countrymen that we are
at last rivals to be feared. We happen
to know that these English are not alone
in their surprise. German, Belgian and
French visitors have also been aston
ished at the extoht, variety and excel
lence of our manufactured products.
In fact, it would not be too much to say
that we have given surprise to intelli-
gent merchants and manufacturers from
all parts of the world.
Nor is this amazing. 1t is fact that
our manufacturers produce, in general,
better qualities Of goods than those of
Europe; they turn out, as a rule, more
faithful, more durable, better and more
honest goods. The wooden nutmeg and
pine ham business has been transferred
across the Atlantic to great extent, and
the Americans have in the last dozen or
fifteen years gained a reputation for
honest products which would be inval-
liable TO us if it were only q little more
extended-if we had any foreign trade
which, in fact, gives us a vital advan-
tage whenever we do trade abroad

How to Cook Ham.

The Commercial Grocer makes the fol-
lowing suggestions in regard to cooking
hams, which are pronounced valuable
by those who know how hams should
be cooked. 4" Eastern canvassed sugar
cured hams are in strong demand, and
the supply is not large. So much de-
pends on the manner in which consum-
ers use sugar-cured hams, that we may
be excused for making some remarks
thereon. 1t is peculiarly of sugar
cured meat that it nolds rapidly, and
the absence of mold on a Winter-cured
ham at this season is an indication of o
salt cure. In stripping q ham. great
care should be taken to clean it thor
oughly before cutting, as any mold car
ried down on the knife-blade in slicing
will affect the favor when frying. In
boiling, the ham should always be
placed on the stove in cold water. and,
what is more important still, unless it
is to be used warm, it should not be
taken out of the water in which it is
boiled until quite cold. This important
point is not generally known, but the
reasons are so obvious that no one will
question them when explained. If a
ham is taken out of boiling water and
cooled rapidly. the sudden contraction
which ensues cannot fail to harden and
toughen the fibre, while, if cooled in
that water in which it is boiled, the
juices expressed in boiling are again
drawn into it, and it cools with pores
open, mellow and juicy. At this season,
when Summer cures are unreliable, and
Winter-cured hams are partially dried
out, this is matter worthy of attention.
Ignorant treatment in cooking will often
condemn q first-class ham, and we rec
ommend our friends who use this arti-
Gle of pork product to note the above. "

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-01-20
DEMOCRATIC sTATEsMANSHIP.

Amiable old fossils who are willing to
let lawbreakers and traitors alone, and the
lawbreakers and traitors themselves, fairly
represent the Democratic party. James
Buchanan was smiling old tigurehead
who sat grinning in his White House
chair in the years just previous to the
Southern rebellion. He saw States pre-
pairing to 20 out of the Union; he saw
traitors in Office clearing the decks for &C
tion-moving government arms to the
South and the regular army to the borders
beyond the line Of coming strife-and the
old imbecile smiled on. He gave up the
ship of State to the pirates, who came on
board to wreck her. The cause, prosecu-
ton and ending of the long and bloody
war are facts of history. The princi-
pies fought for by the rebels of the
South were home made and of Demo-
cratic manufacture. To destroy the Union
and perpetuate slavery-for which many
men violated their oaths, deserted their
positions in Congress, in the army and
elsewhere, appropriated government prop
erty and seized its sub-treasuries, custom
houses and postofices, killed their broth
ers and established horrible killing pris-
ons-there were no crimes too great to be
committed by the executive force of the
Democratic party, from the murder and
starvation Of helpless prisoners, to the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-01-20
RELAPSING.

The loss sustained by the business COM
munity in the death Of the conservative
editor and proprietor Of the Picayetne
may be realized in comparing its more
recent administration with that which
passed the compromise act of legislation.
1t required that steady hand on the helm
to secure the confidence Of the business
public. The truly conservative conductor
of that paper knew that the touch of the
s.last ditchers' was dangerous 1t was
known that these desperadoes had
boarded the Picayune in the disguise Of
merchants. and SO turned its course Of
lawful commerce into the contraband vio-
lence Of partisan cruise, that it was Ii.
beled, seized, sold and bought in by its
old commander. There are obvious signs
that since the demise of that commander
the Picayune is passing again under the
same influences that once destroyed it.
We have an especial right to complain
of a perversion Of our position and Ian
guage contained in q recent article. The
REPUBLICAN of the thirteenth contained a
notice of the dispute between Messrs. Hill
and Blaine. In this notice We pointed
out that the imputations against the North
would revive the sectional feeling and
arouse hatred and antagonism which
ought to have been permitted to remain
latent" There is no doubt but the Picdy-
une differed with us as to which OF the
disputants was to blame for this conse-
ouence. That the REPUBLICAN did not
approve of this revival Of strife was
shown by its willing admission of Jeffer-
son Davis to the benefits of universal
amnesty, as also by this declaration in the
article quoted:
We regret this, as it will result in reviv-
ing to some extent those angry discussions
which preceded the irrepressible conflict,
and result in no good to either section.
In an article of the eighteenth we char
acterized this dispute as Southern chal-
lenge on the part of Mr.. Hill, and an ac-
ceptance'by the North on the part Of Mr..
Blaine. and claimed that our apprehen-
sions had been verified, and that "the sec
tional passions are again and unnecessarily
aroused" We deprecated this renewal Of
strife because ''the old issue will be joined,
the dominant majority will again bear
down all opposition, and the weaker side
be forced to the wall" While looking to
this result as inevitable, we regretted, de-
precated and opposed it. We said:
The Southern Republicans deplore this
reopening of a dispute which has been
closed by the exhaustion OF one party and
the consent of the other. IT forced to take
part in the revived contest, they will, OF
course, follow their principles. They can
not approve Of anything like revival OF
the late war by those who were merely
seconds so long as the principals are sat
isfied with the settlement which has been
effected.
The principals here referred to are
the soldiers Of the war, the Sec
onds are the bomb proof non-combat-
tants, who stayed at home or went to
Europe during the war.
We would ask any impartial reader
whether there has been in these express

THE ORACLES.

With singular unanimity all dispatches
from Washington, Tuesday, touching the
senatorial question, agreed that Mr..
Eustis was not invited to take his seat.
The Times man does not risk much, but
says, soothingly, "Eustis has made a
good impression on the Senate"
The Picaysne man is more bold. He
gives the opinion Of Eustis himself, and
that is, eff early action be taken he will
be seated" This opinion Of Eustis is
backed up by what Mr.. Pinchback tells
the Picaytne man: "Pinchback gravely
remarks that Eustis is clearly entitled to
the seat if he is not" The second Picayune
special is full of glad tidings. 1t settles
Pinchback and removes all obstacles from
the path of Mr.. Eustis, saying, at is in
disputably clear that Eustis will be seated.
Pinc7back is defeated"
Seeing so much in the conservative Pic
avune, We naturally looked for a perfect
jubilee of joyous job type in the sanguine
Democrat, but in that journal, an organ
that is politically anti-everything good
and hopelessly Bourbon, a headline OF
mournfully black letter says, "Pinch-
back will probably be seated, and then
comes loaded special which says,
s.Pinchback will be seated and the DEM
ocrats of the House will refuse to re-
open or agitate the Louisiana question.
Our people must take care of themselves. -
Thus do great minds differ. But the
most astonishing thing is that the Demo-
crot should consider the case Of Mr.. Eus-
tbs so entirely hopeless, and from a diff
ferent standpoint arrive at the conclusions
foretold by the REPUBLICAN.

underwater. The Administrators seem to
have entertained similar distrust of those
politicians assuming to speak for their
constituents.
We refer with great delicacy to the
statement Of an organ which SO recently
saw the light, that the refusal Of the Ad-
ministrators to 60 to Jail or lose their
places has greatly disappointed public
expectation" We are surprised at the in
timation that these representatives shave
proved themselves, in the opinion of many,
unequal to their arduous but honorable
position in this matter.
We can not dispute the assertion that
"many" entertain the belief that honor
required the Administrators to refuse the
tax levy, and that they have proved them
selves deficient in sense Of that honor.
In large and cosmopolitan city there are
many people whose views upon such
question of honors or morals are peculiar
to themselves. II, however, it be intended
to affirm that majority Of the constituents
of the Administrators SO impugned con-
denim their conduct as either unwise or
dishonorable, We have only to cite con-
temporaneous circumstances to contradict
the intimation. Those who opposed the
tax levy were in part owners of real estate
who have been agitating the reduction or
repeal of taxes on real estate. This dis
contented sect was represented at the
meeting by eminent and eloquent gentle
men, chiefly of the legal profession, and
most of them prominent leaders Of the
people in political questions.
In the recent election Of gentlemen to
form convention to which this policy Of
non-taxation might be given in charge,
several of the most prominent of these
indorsers of non-taxation were left SO far
behind that certificates will be required
to prove that they ever were at all. "
Neither in outside political meetings nor
in the Legislature has the act Of the Ad-
ministrators been condemned by ma
jority of their constituents. They now
draw their pay with the utmost regularity.
They now preside with the utmost dignity
at the golden drawings Of the tonbola, and
from the very stringent reduction Of other
corporate expenditures, and the slightly
infamed schedule for their own We
should not infer that they either expect or
intend to be deprived of their positions and
perquisites for noncompliance with the
terms of the law. One of SCOTS recreant
covenanters, who took the oath of renewed
allegiance to the government against
which he had been in arms, was exhorted
by a rather fanatical old mother to
"sufer" for the cause. On being asked
by the officer whether he would keep the
oath" he had taken, he replied, land
drink his majesty's health in the bar
gain-when the ale's good
We do not detect any appetite to suffer
in the comfortable countenances Of our
law-abiding Administrators. Thus history
proves to our satisfaction that as the doc
trine of neighborhood sovereignty has
been surrendered, "the right Of local self
government is included IN the same
capitulation.
Speaking Of the city budget for 1876, the
landlords organ says: 1T strikes us that
the allowance for current city expense
tax is larger than it was before"
