Peace in Europe,

The latest news from Europe brings
US the gratifying intelligence of the
signing of a treaty of peace between
Russia and Turkey. Turkey loses
all or nearly all her European pos
sessions, including servia, Bosnia,
Croatia, Herzegovina, Roumania and
Bulgaria. These are set up 10y Rus
STA as independent principa|lties, and
are of course in her interests. In
Asia, Russia takes Kars and Batoum
and - millions pounds war indem .
nifty. Turkey is thus destroyed as a
power of any Importance.

inherent Rights and Statute Law.

The LAWYERS of our State as class,
are virtnous men and their ability
none can question, but it is an nhlI'~
ty to determine statutory law, NOT
that which entities them to rank first
in every department of the ""''"
knowledge. Macanlry tell us that !
the peculiar education of " lawyer
nnhts him to- reason upon pneS'
tions inductivcly. That Is, h" mnA
have his whole premise admitted us
facts before his logic can he assumed
to he sound ; and these facts ne IN
sists must ho contained within statute
books apd Supreme Court decisions
The fact of this was brought force
ah]v to our mind in tho late contest
AGAINST the monorolics existing in
this State. Our lawyers insist they
have "ycstcd rights" which could not
he destroyed, while the patriot WI"
gathers knowledge of the principles
of Republican liberty not fro" s'a'o'e
hook but from the promNtiuss OF the
irt.,,;oent freeman'S brain, the ut
terings of patriots gone before an"
the very essence of our government
itself feels and knows that no power
exists that can vest with inherent
rights any individual or class which
would or may hc detrimental to the
whole people.
England had a "vest'd right a
statutory right, to tax America. No
LAWYER doubts that, and some OF tue
ab)est American legal gentlemen OF
that day, who afterward became
sterling patriots, quibbled to the last
moment upon the "veStcd right OF
ENGLAND to tax her colonies whether
she allowed them representation OF
!, not. Representation was regarded
by them as "Sentimcnt,' just rs
great many essential matters con
nected with republican government
is now regarded by more men, WI
are sorry to say, than lawyers.
Exclusive privileges are ineom
patable with republican institutions
, Their very existancc is contrary t
one of the dearest of the declaration
E contained in the freeman's bill c
!, riehts-that no man shall have right
s which are not possessed by the c1t'
L zens generally.
h Admitting for sake of argnmer
that the Legislature did grant exclu

Y his lottery company, where DO 20
is find authority for them to do so
o the Constitution. The Legislature
l. the,e restricted to certain we'll define
j. duties and is prohibited from exc
~ cisinc others-One of which, by II
70 bill of rights, is, that no man sha
,. have rights which arc not possesse
h BY the citizens generally. This won

" and all it might have given me
|e form to are, ipsojwe null and void
,e| The inherent rights of mankil

al enactments allowing privileges whi'
are exclusive-these rights are high
20 than written law and cannot be vi
mr. lated without fatal consequences.

When you buy blooded stock with a
view of improving your own, don't
buy male and female and then breed
in until they degenerate, as has been
the case in this parish time and again.
Buy blooded males, of cattle, horses,
or hogs and improve your stock BY
breeding them to yoW ndtire home
stock. If You will do this you will
succeed in a few years i'll having moth
ing but good stock around you.

Ben Buffers name we know IS not
very popular with Louisianains, but
bis speech on finance delivered in
Congress on 9th Of February, has the
ring that suits US. This point we
quote, as itembraces our views exact
".
II sec nothing, therefore, uncon:
sistent in saying to this House that l
do not consider the use of silver as
currency by any means the best cur
rency for that use. l have said that
l think it senseless, expensive, fool
ish, to lock up valuable merchandise
to do duty as currency when expert
ence has told all men who have ever
nsed q bankers check, a bill of credit,
Q bill of exchange, a promissory note,
or . greeaback, that an inexpensive
article may be made a measure of
value, and that to make it the meas
ure of value in the article of which the
measure itself is composed, but that
its value can fully be determined by
what is within or stamped upon it,
and not by its merchandise value"
In other words coin, and especial
" silver, is more valuable as metal
than We can make it as a currency
and when coined it will flow abroad
to be melted up; thus returned to its
merchantable shape and lost to US a
currency. He proposes and we ad7o'
cate the stamping, for use as q cur
rency-as a measure Of value, Of an
criticize like paper which is inexpen'
,ive and has no merchautable value
approaching its stamped value, as a
currency.

room. The outer room is but partly
underground, and is ten by twelve
feet in area, and eight feet high. The
inner room is wholly underground,
and frost proof; it has four brick
walls and cemented floor. In this
room the fruit is stored early in De-
cember, when the weather becomes
cold. The outer room holds the
fruit during the autumn months after
it is gathered, and is cool, well light
ed and dry. The windows are left
open and a free circulation of air al
lowed so long as no danger from
frost exists. When the fruit is taken
to the inner room, the door is closed,
and no light admitted. Ventilation
is secured in moderate weather by
opening the inner door and throwing
down window in the outer room.
In this cellar we kept apples Of last
seasons growth until the present
winter, in perfect condition. Some
of these apples exhibited at autumnal
agricultural fairs, were pronounced
as fresh as those of last seasons
growth.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

The yalgle of Charcoal as fertil-
izer, consistsein its quality of absorb
ing gases and other matter under
certain conditions and giving them
out under other conditions.-R. M.
w. Huntington, Vermont, writes ::
Charcoal will absorb many times it's
own bulk OF gases and condense
them in its pores when it is dry and
warm. II will absorb three times
its bulk of atmospheric air, and in
addition, oxygen gas, IS; of nitro
gen gas, 1.65; of hydrogen gas, 10;
of carbonic acid gas, AS; of nitric
oxide, So. Nearly all these gases
are expelled unchanged by heat
below 2L20, and portion of them by
immersion in water. Besides this,
charcoal has strong affinity for pu-
trid matter, insomuch that it will, in
powder, cleanse putrid water, faint
ed vessels, restore slightly tainted
meat, and sweeten a foul stomach
All these things when expelled by
heat or moisture furnish food for
plants. So much for theory; now for
the practical part, l have piece Of
ground on which coal pit was burn
ed nearly 40 years ago. I have
owned it II years; and as far as the
fine charcoal is mingled with the soil
I have never put any manure; and
whether it is IN grass or grain the
crop invariably grows SO rank that
it falls down; and l have known
numerous cases. The very reason
some give why it IS worthless as a
fertilizer is just what gives it its
