All the countries Of Europe seem to be Just

and dstrust Of each other None OF the
great powers are actually at war,
but every one OF them appears to enter
tain suspicious Of the good Intentions Of It's
neighbors. week ago. both Turkey and
GREECE increased their armies and ordered q
large force Of troops to their mutual boun-
dary. France and Germany, on their part,
corsinue to increase their armies yearly, In
anticipation Of an outbreak OF difficulties !.
nor are the relations between Russia and
Germany. or Austria and Russia very pacific
and friendly. The decision OF the Italian
government relative to the military IGanrfu-
vres at CeErano Is evidence Of the condition,
OF affairs ia Europe. Ceprano happened to
be near the Austrian frontier and the concsn-
tration Of large italian force there ~,
alarmed Austria that she complained about
It. Italy took the complaint In good part and
the Cepraao nanoGyres have been fndeGnIte-
~ postponed. The relations between Italy
and Austria are Of the most friendly charae-
ter. There is nothing of moment to iuterrnrt
their international friendship; yet. upon what
feeble foundation the present peace Of
Europe stands, is shown by the fact that a

THE PARISH COMMITTEE.

The Parish Committee Of the Democratic
Conservative party will assemble at 1o9 Gus.
tomhouse street this evening at half past I
O'Clock, for the purpose OF preparing for the
election of delegates to the State convention,
to be held at Baton Rouge.
! 1t is TO be hoped that the gentlemen who
have been 80 apprehensive OF some encroach-
nnent upon their rights and privileges, or who
desire changes made in the rules and regula-
| tions OF the party will be on hand and offer
such suggestions rs will enable the Parish
| Committee to aIlay all causes of dissension.
| great deal Of buster has been INDUCED
In, and many vague assertions have been
made. but 30 far no practical suggestions
| have been rendered the Parish Committee as
| to what the malcontents desire, or what will
be satisfactory to them, and we now trust
that all members Of the party who have any
complaints to make against existing rules
will put their grievances In shape and pre-
sent them for the action OF the committee to-
night.
The only question upon which there seems
to be q difference OF opinion is as to the time
OF reorganization OF the Parish Committee and
ward clubs. Judging from the expressions OF
various members Of the committee, it Is re-
garded as immaterial when the reorgantza-
ton occurs; a general disposition liz
evinced to give no cause for dissat-
isfaction. If the disconnected fac
ttons are Sready and DESTROYS of an
immediate organization there is no doubt it
will be accorded. On the other hand, IT, as 1t
Ia alleged, an immediate organization OF the
Parish Committee and central clubs would
find the anti-Democratic ring factions unpre-
pared, by reason OF not having completed
their organization, then, In that event, the
Parish Committee will doubtless defer the
reorganization until after the State conyen-
tion.
It will not do for these factions to hold their
peace, and make no sign of what they want
until the Parish Committee shall have acted
and then clamor and say that snap judgment
has been taken on them by ordering elections
for organization before they were prepared;
or, In case the Parish Committee postpone
reorganization until the new State Central
Committee Is appointed by the Baton Rouge
convention, then claim that an advantage
was taken Of them by delay. The fact is, that
nine-tenths of the talk about rings
and ring influences is CANNON; the factions
want to secure the parish Offices, but what |
ever may be their motives, all good citizens |
Will unite In demanding a fair registration |
and fair election. If any rule OF the party |
now prevents any member from an equal !

GENERAL EDUCATION.

Ii would be premature to discuss Just at
present all the particulars In which the pres
ent school law needs to be amended. But the
vast i'm portanoe Of raising our public school
system to the highest attainable degree o.
efficiency cannot be too often or too strongly
insisted on. General education is the iInne-
diate coroiiary 81 universal suffrage, and is
the indispensable condition to its safe exer-
else. When the right OF voting is conferred
upon men who, from ignorance and lack Of
political experience, are incapable OF discern
ng between what Is hurtfal to their Interests

The report reaches US from Washington
that John Sherman is actively Intriguing with
a number Of the leaders OF the Republican
party. now IN and around Washington, on
various pretexts with view Of securing a
solid delegation from this State favorable to
his presidential operations. He is not alto
gether satisfied with the assurances made
him, and until the necessary guarantees are
given that the goods can be delivered there
will be no general changes In the Federal
offfceholders. AS soon, however, as the
proper combinations are made to effect the
Secretary's purposes, a new deal ali around

In his speech before the Saratoga conven-
ton Conkling dwelt, like all the other Repub-
ltcan orators Ia the present campaign, on the
fact that our crops, as general thing, were
good this year, and called upon the country
to thank the Republican party therefor. This
10 rank blasphemy, and Is besides untrue,
ridiculous and absurd. If the Republican
party claims to be responsible for our crops,
we would like Conkling to explain how our
rice crop was cut short 80 per cent this year,
and what party Is responsible for the disas-
trous storm OF the other day which damaged
our cane 80 much? Has a special arrange
ment been made by which the crops are to be
good ID Republican and poor In Democratic
States Such, ut least would seem to be the
meaning Of the hero Of Canonchet.

Half dozen States are already beginning
TO brag of the number OF Congressman they
will send to Washington under the new CEN
sus. Texas counts on twenty Representa-
ttves; Kansas boasts that 1t will increase Its
representation four members; Georgia three
members, etc. II all these boasts prove true,
the Capitol will scarcely be large enough to
hold our members OF Congress In 81. 1t is
probable, however that these claims have no
more foundation In fact than the wild guesses
that st. Louis and Chicago gave as to their
population just previous to the census OF 10.

The press Of the country has slightly over
done the snake business lately. The public
got as many snake stories as 1t could stand
indeed, more than enough, and a general
prejudice against snake stories was the natu-
raj result. There has BEEN In consequence, n
et-up on these. The sensational journals
have turned there attention to other matters,
and are now running mosquitoes for all they
are worth. The Wild tales that come from
the eastern shore OF Maryland and from
Florida regarding these little pests are almost
blood curding. In Maryland the peopU are
actually Offering prayers In the churches for
isief from this nuisance. Ia Florida It is
even worse; the mir is dark with these in
sectS; one cannot hear on account Of the
noise which they maks-a noise which
sounds Ike mighty wind sweeping through
field Of wheat or rye. Bars are no protee-
ton, the ugly little monsters savagely tear
ing them TO pieces In their thirst for blood.
The only protection against them Is
"smudging," an idea borrowed from the In
dams. "Smudglng" consists In closing the
house alright and lighting large fire Of
pine in the centre Of the room, and sleeping
IN the smoke which kills the mosquitoes. Even
this sometimes fails, as the mosquitoes crowd
into The room and drop dead In such numbers
on the fire as to extinguish 1t. veracious

Preparing Poultry for
Marker.

Poultry should not only be fat
when killed, but shonld be prop
erly dressed and put up for mar
ket. Pluck the fowl while the
animal heat still remains; do not
kill at a time more than you
have facilities for dressing. Do
not have the water hotter than is
absolutely necessary in order to
start the feathers. Pick out all
the pin feathers, using tweezers
if necessary, but do not tear the
skin. Silge the plucked fowl
over the flame of a Kerosene lamp.
The work may done in a few
seconds. Some prefer a handful
of feathers or a few scraps OF
paper kindled to a quick blaze
in the fire place OF stove, the lid
Of the stove being removed. In
some markets poultry is sent
with crop and intestines undis-
turbed, probably as much because
it is thought that the fowls look
fairer and pIumper, as foi
any hope Of gain from extra
weight. Poultry should not be
packed for transportation until
entirely cold. Then it should be
laid in clean straw, breast down,
keeping wings and legs close to
the body. See that there is nc
discoloration of blood on the
skin. If the heads are removed
lpull ON the skin of the neck and
ttie it over the severed portion
with strong thread or Irvine.

off nearly clean from the sur
faces where it will be undesira-
BILE, as in the case Of knives and
forks, etc. The resin prevents
rancidity, and the mixture OBJ
viates a ready access Of air and

A thirteen, year old San Fran
cisco boy went into a police sta

$500, which he had picked up in

money he took it TO broker to
ascertain its value, but the man
would not tell him and offered
him 500 for the lot, which the
boy refused and left the store.
The broker sent after him and
offered 500, but realizing that
he had something valuable, he
again refused to trade and went
to the police station. The next
day a New York man appeared
and established a claim to the
money, and when he heard of the
