their efforts are directed agsinst

II they affirm that they are not
bound to publish their book at %
per copy because the 'sagrecment1
submitted to me is not a s4circular'
or made public; indeed, il they do
not publish at o3 per copy, they
confess q motive, in Affirming such
purpose in said s'sgreement,"
which is impossible to gentlemen.
Hence, I may safely Assnwes that
they will publish ut e3 pr 0upy.
As then the circular ileclaree the
commission Of the unknown agents
to be, not 30 per cent. Of % but
"e2.50 for each subscription, to be
paid to such agent; they are TINS

Advanos Eheet Of the Louisiana

ASsS w.
am known throughout my na.
tive State Of Louisiana as almost
tho pioneer Of Sugar Statistics, at
least the late p. A. Champomier
was my sole predecessor. During
eight successive years / have pub
lished my annual work, the "LOUI-
srANA SUGAR REPoRT," and all
have conceded my just title to the
I,oor rewards of so difficult an in
dustry. In my last volume l re-
marked that "although not yet
remuuerative, its feature was not
without promise" When prepar.
ing recently for my first annual
visit to the Parishes, with the view
u collecting materials for the en-
suing volume, not suspecting any
watchfnl enmity In my execution
II = task 90 laborious, and . means
of support 40 barren Of excess, /
was approached by the proprietOrs
Of the q New Orlsaxs Price Csyye1t,"
who solicited proposals to join me
In bringing ont the work. Know
ing their printing facilities, and
unsuspicious Of any design to cx.
clude me wholly from q 6eld here.
toEore 20 entirely my own, / sub-
mitted liberal terms, under which
/ thought TO yield to their "Stand

psopssalA were received, mot in .

not from . sense Of right; but re-
jected, - / imagined, with sup.
pressed sense of something gained
Las II / could be made to seem to
the public an Intruder in the field
to which l 90 rightfnlly belong.
This deviated into . threat Of my
total expulsion-even while they
modelled their projected work ex-
clusively upon mine, which / have
yearly copy y-righted. They regard.
ed, in the zeal oftheir intent neither
public nor personal rights. Aware,
however, that no individual ex.
perienco, but mine, within the
state, was adequate to q 6t dis
charge Of he duties involved, I
felt no alarm under their proscrip.
tive project. Trained to unsel6sh
purposes, I proposed to refer our
differences to another, whom they
should choose. That gentleman
promptly reported my offer just

SCHOOL ROOM GAS.
Serious Effect on Scholars at Racine.

The Racine County Argus says
Monday was the occasion ola curious
and singular occurrence at the acad-
envy of Mr.. McMym. Some time
during the forenoon, one OF the
scholars appeared to be languid aud
indisposed and soon fell over insen-
sible. The teacher Immediately took
care of the pupil, saying to the
school that such occurrences were
frequent; that they must not be
agitated. Soon another scholar fell
insensible, and then another, through
what cause it could not be ascer~
tanned. The windows of the build
ing were all opened and the school
dismissed as soon as possible. Inc
sngularity of the circumstances is the
fact that the scholars would faint
away while going down stairs, while
out of the buil1ing entirely, aud
while walking homeward. The
services of Drs Page aud Peck
were Immediately sought, and the
sick persons taken into Mr.. Ms.
house, and worked over. 1t was
curious scene, to see the parlor full
of sick people. some propped up 10
chairs, and some on sofas. But they
seemed to recover pretty readily,
with one or two exception. One boy
was taken with convuIsions and had
a terrible time. The cause of this
unfortunate occurrence was in some
of the pipes connected with the
furnace becoming clogged up, as near
as we can ascertain, which had the
effect OF filing the air with an in"
furious substance, gas. Singularly
enough it was not noticed when II
took effect. There is nos even the
slightest supposition or rumor to the
effect that the misfortune was caused
by any carelessness or mlsmanage'
ment upon the part OF the teacher
or employees.

To Be q Lady.

> To be a lady, then, it is
clear, does not depend on any of these
fictitious circumstances with which
we have nothing to do, but entirely on
ourselves. The woman who does the
washing may, indeed, be as much of a
lady in some respects as the woman
who employs her, if, that is, she car
ries her conscience into her work, and
is that gentle thing from which the
word gentility was born gentility,
which belongs only to those who
strive to do what is fit and becoming;
and if it is fit and becoming in her to
do washing, it then being fit and be-
coming to do it we'll, in SO far as she
does it well, in so far she is lady
Yet only so far. Other things than
the mere routine performance of a
coarse >.uty ar requisite in this grand
inventory ; those gentle manners
which offend none that consideration
for the feeling of others which pleases
all that absence of anything which
can produce sentiment of repulsion
or of disgust ; that submission to the
fact that the humblest woman in the
street is a soul of equal value in Gods
eye.-One, in short, is the true lady
in whom courtesy and tranquility and
trust are rightly mingled with discre-
ton and with knowledge.
Wrong dares not in her presence speak
Nor spotted thought Its faint disclose,
Under the protest of cheek,
0utbraggng natures boast, the rose y

A few republican papers of this
state are disparaging the qualitica
tions of Elihu Washburne, our.Minis'
ter to France, for the presidency.
They are papers that warmly support
ed Ex-senator Carpenter in the sena-
torial contest flast year, and they
manifest, by their manner in this con-
nection, a disposition to follow "the
Washburne family" with the ami
mostly engendered by disappoint-
ment We regret to notice DISPOSE
ton to reopen the division of last
winter by directing the arrows Of
malice at Elihu Washburnc not be
cause he lacks any requisite of any
presidential office, but because he is
brother of G. c. Washburne. There
are reasons why Elihu Washburne is
one of the most available men for the
presidential candidacy. He has been
removed during some years from the
stormy politics incident to recon-
struction he has been popular with
our German telow-ctizens by reason
of his efforts in behalf of their coun-
trymen during the Siege of Paris his
past record is unclouded. both as an
original anti-slavery man and sup
porter of the Union and his nomlna
ton would no doubt be gratifying to
the President and his friends. 1t can
hardly be said Of any other Of the
persons named for the honor that he
possooocs many qualifications, in
addition to conceded ability and in
tegrity which the republicans of the
whole country approve. -Baraboo Re-

The History and Chemistry Of Pot
terry and Porcelain.

Pottery is an art old as the race
and as universal. The Jews alone
furnish no specimens of the art, but
their law to prevent the formation of
images is proof that the inclination
and the ability were not wanting to
the nation. Earthenware without
enamel or glaze is known as terra
cotta-any rude specimen, as the
utensils of the kitchen, will illustrate
the definition, but these are poor !;
and terra Gotta worthy Of the name is
carefully wrought, fine, smooth and
often ornamental.
In Europe are seventy-one meas
ures of pottery, about one-half of these
being owned by private collectors,
often the Inheritance of several gen.
erations These have been loaned or
rented to the exhibitors for the pub.
lie benefit. In America there is one
only devoted to such collections.
Aluminium, the base of potter's clay,
is metal resembling lead in color,
with specific gravity Of only 2.56 ;
while zinc, known as the lightest of
the metals in use, is 1920. 1t is
lighter than most wood, and is so
precious as to be rated at thirteen
dollars per ounce. And yet is more
abundant than iron ; one metal only
is more abundant and that is silicon.
One twelfth Of the crust of the earth
is composed of this substance, but it

of gold and platinum, and will not
rust in water. 1t is the best metal
known for culinary vessels, and for
every purpose where weight is an OBJ
lection, as in the trappings of sol
diers but the labor to aggregate it
debars it's use, though German
chemist who is experimenting with it,
hopes yet to proc dee it for one dollar
per pound. It's metal is soft as sill

when rolled is as hard as iron. When
heated intensely it crystallizes- Sew
eral of the specious gems are pure
aluminium erystallized-the oriental
ruby, the violet amethyst, the yellow
topaz, the blue sapphire. The color
ing of these is due to some metallic
dust, very minute in amount, that has

quartz colored is frequently passed

SCHOOL AND CHURCH-WILLlAM' ;
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.-The
Chicago Tribune'S Washington dis
patch of the 18th, says;
Williams, of Wisconsin, to-day
proposed an important modification
Of Blaine's constitutional amendment
on the school and religious question.
Williams proposition is designed to
settle the whole subject matter in
controversy, and forever remove the
school question from national politics
Blaine's amendment provides that
"no money ra sed by taxation in any
State for the support 81 public
schools, or derived from any public
fund thereof, nor any public land
devoted thoreto, shall ever be under
the control Of any religious sect !;
nor shall any money 30 raised or
lands 50 devoted be divided between
religious sects or denominations !"
Williams amendment adds the fol-
lowing "Nelther shall money raised
by taxation in any State be appro-
DIidLCl lOI buC iudib bahNO VI al
sectarian, school or any seotarian
institution" The practice has grown
up 10 all the States of Incorporating
"St. Mary's," st. Peters" "St.
Johns )" etc, charity schools or IN
stitutions, which are simply Catholic
schools Recourse is then had to the
legislature the next year for appro-
