IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE DIS
G0VERY

A learned and practical physician,
DR.. j. W. Davenport. OF Dallas, Texas,
has made discovery and obtained the
patent therefor, which promises to be
OF incalculable value and usefulness to
the present and future generations. It
is simply the ascertainment of the
chemical components Of a fluid for
keeping all kinds OF fruits, vegetables
and meats fresh, sweet and pure. The
aim of the ingenious chemist has been
to discover the ingredients OF a pickle
which would arrest the process Of de-
composition and extinguish the germ
Of decay Of all animal and vegetable
substances without fmpairing their
flavor or imparting to them any iDju-
rious effect. It is simply a pickle
Of the most inexpensive sort, cost
ing infinitely less than brine or
vinegar, in which any meat or vegetable
may be kept in open vessels, submerged
for months, and when taken out will be
found as pure and fresh as when the
vegetables came from the garden or the
meat from the butchers stall. This
pickle may be furnished and prepared
at a cost Of four cents per barrel. The
pickle is 30 nearly tasteless and palata-
BILE as to demonstrate its innocu-
BUSINESS, and yet from the specimen
we saw yesterday at 81 Carondelet
street green corn which had been i'm
mersed in 1t for twelve months, when
boiled, could not be distinguished from
the corn which had been gathered that
morning. Mutton and pork chops, and
even fat papabottes, placed in this
pickle weeks ago, when subjected to
heat, had preserved all their original
freshness and flavor. No one would
ever suspect that they had ever
been brought In contact with any chemi-
cal fluid or substance. 1t would appear
that this fluid is far more effective and
reliable in preserving vegetables and
meats in their original freshness than
the strong brine used in preserving salt
meats. This fact being established, the
superiority, both for nourishment and
health, Of fresh over salt meats would
secure its universal adoption and prove
invaluable for use on ships, in armies
and on plantations. The simple anti
scorbutic effects Of such preservation
Of fresh meat and vegetables would rem
der it of incalculable benefit.
Col. Isaac Harrison, formerly
wealthy planter of Tensas, in this State,
and distinguished Brigadier General
of the Confederate service, has pur-
chased the patent Of this valuable fluid,
which is styled Davenport's balm, for
the State of Mississippi. Col. Harrison
will make his headquarters at Jackson,
in that State.

NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC RAILWAY.
TO THE PEOPLE.


In spite of the well understood fact that
the New Orleans Pacific Railway Com
pany never had any other idea than to
build their road continuously from New
Orleans to Shreveport. on Red River,
and Marshall, Texas, and have the en-
tire line between these initial and ter
minal points under contract. some per-
sons for want Of information, and
others who are the enemies Of all pub
lie enterprises, from motive to mis-
represent, persist in asserting and cir
culating the contrary.
Once for all, the Directors Of the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company pro-
claim that 80 soon as the subscription to
their great undertaking Is voted by the
people, working parties in large num-
bers will be placed both between New
Orleans and Alexandria, and Alexandria
and Shreveport and Marshall.
Already their contractor is calling for
fifteen hundred men at good wagesl

which the commerce Of Texas dares not
or cannot pass toward this city.
Another glance at the map shows that
though this is the case, it would be a
practical scheme for New Orleans to
reach out and capture the situation. st.
Louis is six hundred miles distant from
the Texas trade, New Orleans but three
hundred. Lines Of railroad run through
the Northern tier Of Texas counties to
Marshall and Shreveport; another
division of the Texas Pacific from Fort
Worth to Shreveport, and another road
traverses Arkansas and connects with
these. New Orleans, then, it is very
evident, may by a road to Shreveport
tap the trade gathered and CEN
tered at Marshall and Shreveport
by these lines. Whether she would
control it would depend upon
the enterprise and vim CT her
merchants. At present st. Louis
has nearly monopoly of all the trade
Of that vast and rapidly growing coun.
try. But St. Louis has no special advan.
tages for controlling it, as is evidenced
by the fact that Kansas City, having
made a railroad connection with the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Road, is
now selling large quantities of produce
to Shreveport and to the cities and
towns Of Northern Texas.
We will present one more potent ar
gument in favor of this road; an argu-
ment, in our estimation, of the highest
character. but which we have not space
and time to fully open. We believe
that one or two lines Of roads traversing
this State would do more than anything
else to improve the character OF our
population. Passing through a pro-
ductive region of Louisiana, where
there are cheap and fertile lands,
the tide of emigration would follow
the line Of the road. and in q
few years multiply the white popula-
ton Of Western Louisiana. We have

HOW CATHOLICS ARE TREATED

Mr.. Henry owen Lewis, NIP. for Car

made by Colonel Mansfield the BritishiCon-
sui General at Warsaw, on the means used
by the Russian Government to persuade
the Polish members of the United Greek

National Church, which is not of a nature

whether he is beaten to death with rods.
for not paying taxes enough, by a Mahom-
eta collector, or beaten to death with
rods by q Russian military officer for re
fusing to have his children baptized by q
Russian village pope. The United Greeks
are Christians of the Greek Church who
acknowlede the supremacy of tie Pope at
Rome. They are most numerous in Aus
tria, but are to be found in Turkey, Rus
sia aud Southern Italy; aud the Russian
Government has been steadily at work for
more than q century past reducing them, as
one may say, "to the ranks" Since 1871
the efforts of the Government in this direc-
ton have been particularly vigorous and
the Parliamentary paper to which we refer
gives us an interior view of the processes
employed in the operation. While the
Russian journals were describing the return
of the United Greeks of Poland to the
Church of the White Czaras spontaneous
and irrepressible outburst of loyalty, the
British Consul General, writing to his
O6n Government, is found representing it
as the work of Cossack evangelists using
the whip, the stick, the lance and the iaiI
as their Instruments of conversion.

POLICY or THE ADMINISTRATION.

The ambiguity which hitherto mas
characterized all the utterances and acts
or the new administration was some-
what lightened by the observations OF
Secretary SEIZURE and Attorney General
Evarts ut the reception OF the Chamber
OF Commerce OF New York.
These gentlemen spoke out with re-
markAble distinctneas on two points.
both, and MIR. Evarts being New
Yorker, with special emphasis de-
nounced the present protective tariff
and our shipping laws, and charged TO
their baneful influence tho serious loss
or our once proud position as the chief
marine carriers OF the world, and the
obstructing and hampering Of manu-
featuring enterprise by the high duty
on machinery. In fine, Mr.. Evarts de-
clared against the whole policy OF Il
protective tariff and the ad valorem
system.
He joined, too, Mr.. Schurz In his de-
mand for civil office reform. which will
give d higher tone to the character Of
our political administration and will
make intelligence, honesty and capacity
rather than political party and polit-
ical services the tests OF fitness and the
qualifications for public station.
"What beautiful sentiments" ex-
claimed Sir Peter Teazle. when the
young Surface RECALLED and bamboozled

that OF Mrs. Gaines recently decided by
the United States Court. A nobleman's
wife having given birth to boy, some
difficulty was experienced in obtaining
q suitable wet nurse. Another noble
man preferred one OF his serfs for this
duty, but on condition OF some favor to
be accorded to him by the father of the
child. The condition was not complied
with, and the nobleman who furnished
the serf threatened to take her away,
whereupon, through some Judge Lynch
