WHITENBD FIsLDs AND GRoANINe
PEOPLE.

The reports from the country par
ishes of the State and some of the
adjoining counties in Mississippi are
unanimous upon some points.
l. The fields are white with cotton
and no labOrers to pick it.
2. There is general restitution and
severe suffering among the people of
nearly all the country towns, al
though hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been sent to their relief
from the North. .t.
3. Nearly every locality can be
made to bristle instantly with armed
men upon the first report of "negro
riot" which is a political name for a
Republican meeting.
Somehow, it seems to be conceded
that there neither is nor ought to be
anything inconsistent in cotton fields
white for want of picking and able
bodied white men begging bread and
the necessaries of life within sight OF
them. When we are told that cotton
remains unpicked we understand it
to import that the negro has not
been very active at the price offered
him, say fifty cents a day. And
when we are told that the people Of
New Orleans are impoverished, we
are given to understand that the ma
tional government primarily, and the
Republican administration of this
State seoondarily, are to blame for
the suffering. When there are ten
applicants to one position in the
Federal, State and municipal posi-
tions of New Orleans, and work fol
ten men where there is only one man
to do it in the country, we conceive
the fault does not lie against any
government. 1t resides somewhere
else.
The chief occupations in this State
are really few in number. Agricul.
ture, factorage and transportation
are the first. Manufactures have
never been encouraged. Mr.. Ken.
ner, whose word is not liable to be
doubted, informs us that he has 9
cotton factory which he expects will
soon be taxed out of existence. This
high rate of taxation is perhaps
necessary to keep up the grand style
of living which has been adopted by
''poOr, feeble, ever-stricken, impov.
erished Louisiana" as Mr.. Evartt
styles this State. Our Governor
costs us about s25, 900 a year, wher
all the work could be done fol
$25OO. Besides, the people are fur
nished with a Lieutenant Governor
and Treasurer for whom they have
no use whatever. But little good
has resulted from the heavy feel

BANBs AND ANTIDOTEs.

Tyranny exists in mortal fear of
conspiracy; bigotry trembles at the
very mention of education; intoler-
ance looks askance at the man who
contends for equality, and DemOcra-
cy turns pale at the mention of en-
lightened free suffrage. Hence,
when the self-appointed leaders of
the people hear rumOrs of any efforts
on the part of their fellow citizens
to emancipate themselves from polit-
ical vassalage, their anger and fear
rise in equal proportion, and the
whole camp is thrown into a state of
alarm.
Very recently, the more impracti-
cable BourbOns have made the dis
covery that there is serious defec-
ton in their camp, and some of the
best of their late associates have
formed an alliance with other and
independent interests. There are,
in all, three fragments of Democracy
that have thus become detached
from the main body, known respect
lively as ".The Nationals "The
Citizens Conservative Association, !"
and the i" Property Holders Union. !"
While the first named is composed
of very large number of the mem
bers of the Democratic party as it
existed two or three years ago, the
last two are small and insignificant
affairs, from whom nothing effective
can be expected except to draw of
a few hundred voters from their late
associates, the Democrats. The
Nationals, however, will probably
receive the support of the main
portion of the Republican party,
and to themwe must alone look for
the club which is to bruise the head
of the Democratic beast on the fifth
of November.
The Nationals then stand at pres
emit as the chief remedial antidote to
the bane Democracy, with the other
two associations as possible, though
perhaps feeble, auxiliaries. That

About Preserving Green Corn.

We have several times stated that VIC knew
of no method of canning green corn that was
practicable in families. Mrs. C. c. r., who
writes a very pleasant letter, thinks We are in
error in this, and sends us her method, which is
not, in the proper sense, canning at all, but a
method of picking. By canning fruits or vege-
tables of any kind, We understand the putting
af them up by the thorough exclusion of air,
with sugar, salt or other seasoning sufficient to
make them acceptable when eaten, but which
has nothing to do with their preservation. Mrs.
Il. uses tartaric acid, which is really picking
thu corn, just as other vegetables are picked in
acetic acid or vinegar, but it is not canning the
corn In the proper sense of the term, or by the
method followed by those who put it up for mar
ket. We have, in former years, given the meth
cd of preserving green corn by means of salt,
and also by the use of tartaric acid, but as this
last was several years ago, we give Mrs. r. Is
method, with the remark that it has been COM
mended to us by several other housekeepas,
though we never happened to try it ourselves.
Mrs. X. says: "Cut the corn from the cob, aud
cook it in plenty of water for about i've min
utes. To every six quarts of corn measured
before cooking or adding water) add one ounce
of Tartaric Acid, dissolved in little water. Put
the acid in while cooling. Dip into the cans,
and seal Immediately. 1t will keep for years.
To prepare this for the table, pour off the sour
water (Which is to be saved), and put in fresh
cold water. To quart of corn add half tea
spoonful of soda, and teaspoonful of sugar. If
you should add too much soda, the corn will
turn yellow. In this case add enough of the
acid water Ito be saved for this pnrpose) to turn
1t back again to the proper cOlor."-4merican

How 20 Avoid Sunstrolke.
The New York Board of Health has issued the
following:
Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat, and es-
pseially If the weather is ..muggy.D II is more
apt to occur on the second, third or fourth day
of . heated term. Loss of sleep, worry, excite
ment, close sleeping rooms, debility, abuse of
stimulants, predispose to it. 1t is more apt to
attack those working in the sun, and especial y
between the hours of IL o'clock in the morning
and o'clock in the afternoon. On hot days
wear thin clothing. Have a. cool sleeping
rooms as possible. Avoid loss of sleep and all
necessary fatigue. If working indoors, and
where there is artificial heat, laundries, ETC.,
see that the room is well ventilated. Ii work
ing In the sun, wear light hat, (not black, as
IL absorbs heat) straw, etc., and put inside of it
o wet cloth or a large green leaf frequently
lift the hat from the head, and see that the cloth
is wet. Do not check perspiration, but drink
what water you need to keep it MP, as perspira-
rion prevents the body from being overheated.
Have, whenever possible, an additional shade
rs thin umbrella, when walking, canvas or
board covering when working in the sun. When
much fatigued, do not go to work, but be excus-
ed from work, especially after IL O'Clock in the
morning on very hot days, if the work is in the
Gun. If feeling of fatigue, dizziness, headache
or exhaustion occurs, cease work Immediately,
lie down in a shady and cool place; apply cold
cloths to and pour cold water over the head and
neck. If any one is overcome by heat, send i'm
mediately for the nearest good physician. While
waiting for the physician, give the person cool
drinks of water or cold black tea, cold coffee,
