WHAT Is FARINA!

The word sfarina" is of Latin origin, and
comes from far, meaning a kind of grain
ssspelt," known as German wheat, which
was formerly used by the Romans either
roas ted whole or ground into -four. Hence
the name was originally applied to the mat
ter but as this matter was also ground In
to flour, the name came to be applied to the
flour likewise, and, by degrees, to the
ground product of other cereals. "farine'
is at present the French nam tor flour, and
we may quote the word "1our' as very
similar in use to sfarina." "Flour" means
the matter, as when we speak Of 'flour"
without any prefix.or qualification, it is un-
derstood to mean wheat -four, but four also
applies to the form, and is used in a second
airy sense to mean anything ground lnto
powder. DR.. Ure defines 'farina" as ''the
flour of any species of corn or starchy root,
such as the potato, etc." The chemical def
tinition of "farina'' is ''starch' or "tecula."
The name "tarina'' is given in this country
to the hard, ilinty, and most valuable part
of wheat. 1t is made by a process OF high
grinding, which secures granulation, the
wheat from which it Is made being prev
iously cleaned and secured. Spring wheat
being the hardest. yields more tarina than
does winter wheat, but both are used In its
manufacture. From farina is manufactured
what are termed New Process fiours. 1t is
put up in bulk and in packages for domes-
tic use.-Am. Grocer.

Dr. VaIden's College Educational
Plan.

70 place educational facilities within
the reach OF ali. the poor as well as the
rich. is an object of supreme desire
with every phiIanthropist WHO has the
heart to feel and the capacity to discern
the real necessities of his race. We have
in force in this State good public school
system for imparting the rndiments of
education, free of cost but not for the
higher branches of scientific knowledge,
as taught in the colleges. To supply
this need, the large-hearted and large
minded philanthpist, DR.. c. NJ. Val
den, suggested the plan, the workings
of which are unfolded in his letter pub
lished elsewhere. Proving his faith by
his works, he opened his private purse
and advertised that he was prepared 10
furnish out OF his own pocket the means
necessary to the education of number of
Young men-they STIMULATING 10 refund to
him. with reasonable interest after they
haG secured their education and entered
upon their life-avocations. His PROPOSE
ton was adopted and the result is seen in
its complete success. He applied TO the
Legislature for material aid in develop
ing the plan but as he himself says, it was
derided by some, endorsed by very few,
aud neglected by all. But DR.. Walden
is not the man to deal with impractical
bilities. His whole life is a contradiction
Of such an assumption. Having proved
the utility of his plan and demon
stated his faith by devOting his private
means to it, he has appealed to the Legis-
Iature to enlarge it BY 2 reasonable appro-
priation. We can add nothing To what
be has so well explained; and Whist il
better, has established By actpal results.

The Democratic House is sadly deficient
in backbone. The Radical Senate Is not.
Therefore il is that the senate almost always
gains its point when the two houses lock
horns.

i>iacu0n of the most iucrvduluus.
Ia the early days OF the session the House
passed the Consular and Diplomatic appr0-

The salaries OF the principal foreign min
isIers were decreased; some -uptrtlUus dip
lomats We're stricken oil Che lists, and gem

also as usual, restored the Old salaries and

The real authorship of the plan Of
connecting the lower Mississippi river
with the Pacific Ocean on the line of the
32d parallel, belongs to the Hon. Jeffer-
son Davis He was the first to perceive
the Importance of trans continental
road connecting the Southern Atlantic
and Pacific upon that line, and It was by
his orders, when Secretary Of War III
1853, that survey was made which
demonstra ted It's practicability and supe-
riori ty over every other route. Besides,
in his off cial reports he maintained that
its construction by appropriations from
the Federal Treasury, was duty which
should be exercised by the government
in the discharge Of its legitimate, dele
gated powers. For a period OF twenty
five wears, his name has been intimately
associated with the measure, and he has
not ceased to regard it with paternal and
patriotic care. The opinion Of such d
man, standing aloof from rings and
unconnected with jobs, and having no
motive but the public welfare, and es-
peciaIly the interests Of his own section,
1.-THE North being already provided with
a through line from the Lakes to the
Paci fc) to actuate him--is certainly
worthy of deliberate and respectful con-
sideration 1t was with this view that
his able letter upon the subJeot, Crarro-
duCed in another column was elected.
1t will be seen that his opinion is III
full accord with the general belief that
the Texas and Pacific bill, a. it now
stands--we mean the Senate bill 942,
reported by Mr.. Matthews and adopted
by the peculiar champions Of the Scott
scheme as their favorite measures d
delusion and a snare in so far as it pur-
ports to be a measure to connect the
lower Mississippi and the Southern
Atlantic with the Pacific. 1t gives no
assurance of a Southern connection. 1t
fails to make provision for one. 1t
scarcely holds out a pretence Of such a
provision. Instead of establishing its
Eastern terminus at Vicksburg or some
other eligible point on the lower Missis-
sippi, it stops hundreds of miles away,
and would in the present attitude serve
no other purpose except as feeder OF a
powerful Northern monopoly. We may
we'll inquire what will it avail the Cult
States to have built a road from North
ern Texas on the line of the 32d parallel
to San Diego, if its principal business
is to be diverted from them into that
channel. If the bill is to pass we trust
it will be with amendments fixing and
guaranteeing a terminus on the lower
Mississippi. As it now stands, we can
not see how it can receive the support of
representatives from the Gulf States
1t is not the measure which was Endorsed
by the Mississippi Legislature and the
Democratic State Convention.

The Clarion.

We trust we will be pardoned for
transferring the following compliment
which was paid THE CLARION by our
friends of the Grenada Sentinel in its
issue OF the 1st inst, to our columns. To
them We return our most grateful &C
acknowledgements.
We are glad to see so many evidences OF
success as flows in o the,corresp ondences OF
THE CLARION. While other papers in Jack
son have risen, shone and disappeared like
me eorS in the dark night, it has kept on
the even tenor of its career, without bend
ing the supple hinges of the knee that thrift
may follow fawning when the tide of for
tune was running heavily against it, or
without the imperviousness of dictation,
when its power was felt and acknowledged
throughou the State. Always earnest and
generally positive, its position on matters
of public policy. seldom veer a line from
the best interests of the people, and always
true to the cid landmarks of the Democrat
ic party, it is well calculated to be leader
of public opinion amongst a spirited and
intelligent people.

In. inter-communication. The heat of that
region needs shorter and cheaper transit
10 the ports OF Europe, than that By ran ~
San Fransiseo and thence by sea; or than
would be afforded by the long and expen-
siye transportation by rail to Philadelphia
or New York, and thence by sea. The fruits
of that country require speedy ana SID
carriage to their markets. For the iuihil-
ment OF these conditions, direct railway
communication with the Gulf and South Az
Iantie states offers satisfactory assurance
Nor less does it promise of development in
that very important field, trade between the
L 5 and the Republic Of Mexico.
In conclusion, will state that my sur
prise is. not that the bill should be framed
50 as 10 avail of circumstances and impose
conditions discriminating against Southern
interests. but that trap SO cIumslly mace
should have ensnared Southern credulity 10
so great an extent. Had the commercial
conventions in our section OF the country
not been led TO believe that The Texas
Pacific Railroad" meant a railway from the
lower Mississippi TO the coast ofthe Pacific
had it been known that it meant a western
extension OF Pennsylvania Central X h
it can scarcely be supposed that they wouiu
have raised their voices in its favor
Had the delegates stood in the face o
such acts, the patience taught by mnel
suffering could hardly have been expected
to offer more than self-denying silence over
| the destruction of long deferred hope.
Although not exactly pertinent 10 your
| inquiry, l will add that the recommends
/ tions to Congress to provide Tor the con
! struction OF both the Texas Pacific and tn
extreme Northern Pacific railroad, savo
more OF purpose TO divide treasure bet"eei
| rival sections than To promote the common
welfare by united action. Rather t" bal
ance appropriations between contending in
/ terests than TO provide the means needm
| and proper to execute functions belonging
! to the Federal Government. Whenever tn
| functions and obligations Of the Genera
Government require other inter-Uce"nl
communication by railway than now ex
| lists, its location should be determined b.
the public need. II it is TO be built in par
or ia whole by grants OF the people money

justified by a higher al more constitution
al motive than compliance with the de
mands of sectional profit or of sectional ri

Here is some testimony as to the treat
ment of Northern men in the South,
which for the purpose Of forming correct
conclusions is infinitely preferable to the
sensational stories delivered by suborned
witnesses before committees organized 70
make political capital. Around Char
Iotte, North Carolina, fifty or more
Northern settlers are living. AT the
instance of one of them, Mr.. n. Dumont,
an ex Union soldier from Massachusetts.
a movement was made for a general
meeting of Northern immigrats at that
point from the States Of Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
with a view to a full expression Of opinion
not only upon that particular point, but
upon other subjects ofinterest all bearing
upon the main question of Northern
immigration. The meeting composed Of
seventy delegates, was held, and here is
the sum Of the report that was unani-
mously adopted:
No restraint upon the expression of opin-
ion; Northern men at no disadvantage;
lands are sold to Northern men on better
terms than these can get at home; no social
ostracism. or persecution for opinions
sake; immigrants badly needed in the
South; taxes lighter since Home Rule was
given the South; all occupations, other
things being equal yield as much as else
where, with less strain cotton manufacture
ing has sources of profit that edo not exist
in the North; social consideration and pro
lection are gained as quickly by the single
settler as by the colony; farm labor is very
cheap, and no man who expects to make his
living AS a farmland should come South :;
SUCCESS is more certain, with equaI means
and energy, in the South than inthe West;
lands can be had on liberal terms at low
prices.

south Carolina Under the New
Democratic Regime.

In the Democratic Legislature of South
Carolina, just adjourned, there was no
special enactment affecting the rights of
the negroes, and in all respects the priv
ileges of that class of our population are
protected equally with the whites. The
public schools are favored with the usual
appropriations, which are equivalent to
one fourth of the entire taxation in the
State. The average tax levied is eight
(s) mills upon the dollar, and the tax
for school purposes alone is two y mills,
fixed by an amendment to the Constitu-
ton which was adopted by the Democrats
last year. OF this amount the colored
population reap the greatest benefit,
while paying only small proportion of
the taxes. The entire poll-tax, besides,
is devoted to educational purposes.

An extra session of Congress is urged
in some quarters. Both Houses will be
Democratic for the first time in twenty
years. There 4re measures of reform
which ought to be accomplished, relat-
ing to the currency, the tariff and expen-
ditures. And above all, the vindictive
measures devised during the Grant ad
ministratioa. for interfering with cleo
lions and prosecuting the Southern peo-
pie for opinions sake, ought to be repeal
ed But unfortunately a fraudulent
President stands ip the way ready to
these essential reforms By the
exercise of veto power. Therefore we
can not see what public good is to be
effected by an extra session. 1t will not
even benefit impecunious members.
They are salaried and draw their pay all
the same Whether on, or of, duty.
