TIE STATE ADMINISTRATION.
As II stands-The Remedy.

Nichols, fer which we are Oil more
or less responsible, Is now ranked as
failure.
We say more or less responsibility
rests with all, because those who failed
to urge upon tho Governor an carly
abandonment of that p0licy-which
observing and thinking men must
have known would end AZ 1t has-are
more to blame, and have more respon-
sibility to assume, than those who
pointed out the failure, now upon US,
months ago.
The administration could have been
successful, and that success would have
unerited as well as received applause,
upon three vital political issues.
Finst-In sustaining the financial
honor of the State.
Second-In suppresstng violence IN
the parishes.
Third-In retaining the soIidity of
the material citizens who had elected
and successfully seated it.
On all these vital issues Governor
Nichols has proved failure. We be-
lieve now, as we have all along, that
he Is the peer of any man In louisiana
in personal honor and virtue Of char
acter. These, however, are not all the
elements required to make q successful
statesman. His failure we attribute
solely to his advisers; they have prey
ed upon his weakness aud arc resp0n-
sible in the main for tho disasters
which have overtaken his efforts.
These false friends were no more earn
est In denouncing to him the men who
had, by their valor and patriotism, won
Louisiana from the death of Radical
ism, than in suggesting policy which
could eliminate only in failure. In
fact, every sembIance of vigor on the
part of large portion of the young,
thinking Democrats of the State was
denounced, by what has been falsely
termed the ssConservative element" as
evidence" or sshot Medicines"
That Governor Nichols shared these
views we have every reason to believe.
He must now SEQ how systematically
he has been deceived.
Governor Nichols has more pure,
personal friends-more men who feel
grieved over his failure as Governor OF
a great people-among those falsely
termed stviolents'' and "extremists,' y
than among those who have led him tC
his political ruin.
In proofof this we assert, that, while
they have by their idiotic clamor and
senseless advice, produced disorders in
the parishes, disintegrated and disgust
ed our people and bankrupted our State
these ssviolents" stand ready upon call
tc lay before his Excellency policy
which will cAa'age at once this over
throw into victory. They are prepar
cd to suggesta plan which will procure
peace from one end of Louisiana to the
other, which will reunite the material
citizen, and which will redeem the
credit Of our commonwealth. Nay
These men, the young, vigorous Demo-
Gratis, will assume all responsibility for
the failure, should any occur, and al
low Governor Nichols all glory for
the SUCCESS of those plans. They will
not stink from public gaze, as his false
friends have done, in this his hour of
tribulation, leaving him to bear the
odium of public opinion aud public re-
buke for acts for which they are mainly
responsible.
II Governor Nichols wants his adj
a success he has but to
act ON our Observation-Disclosures

HOT.

Did you say it was hot? Did you?
thought somebody said twas hot?
Or was mistaken? never knew
A May so blistcring, or I've forgot
This morning the dew on the grass
Flashed once when the sun arose.
Flashed once and was gone. Alas, alas,
Each wind is hot and hotter that blows
Cool breeze? No, there's no such thing
Cool place? Where2 In the forests shade
by the waves Of the deep Bandusian Spring
Or in some quiet woodland glade?
Alas, if you find pleasant place
In deep, thick shade where you might be
cool,
Where the trees with grand and stately grace
O'erhang deep, pellucid pool,
You'll find also ticks, bugs and worms,
Muskceters, flies and such like things,
Snakes and beetles thatll make you squirm,
And scorpions with their devlish stings.
o for q shower to lay the dust
o for q shower of pouring rain
Earth gapes through all her upper crust
And sighs for the showers TO come again.

LAYING By CoRN.-Let the last work

must follow rapidly. 1t cannot wait for
seasous-give it therefore every oppor-
tuuity, kill every bunch Of grass aud every
weed, if any there be to dispute the ground
with it. Make the surface mellow, that air
and moisture may penetrate if it should be
dry. Plough shallow, so as not to iujure
the roots-thc plant must feed rapidly, and
will need every mouth it has.
Early corn will be "laid by" this month

DIETETIC HINTS.-NIost chronic disea-
ses, aud many acute ones, are produced at
the table. AS a rule, no fluid of any kind
should be taken at the meal, especially
it the stomach be weak. The stomach
should never be overloaded; not more
than two or three articles should be
taken at one meal; no stimulants used
before eating; tobacco arrests digestion =
Milk is the best diet for infants and child
rer. Tomatoes with cream and sugar are
healthy and nutritious. Bread and butter
is the staff of life, and is easily digcstcd.
Too much salt irritates the stomach. Colds
are frequently produced by drinking hot
tea and exposure afterwards. Late suppers
indn.- irvdrr diseases. Pastry aud cakes
constipate the bowels. Fresh fish strength
ems the nervous system. Boiled potatoes
are not as healthy as baked ones. Fruits
should be eaten at breakfast and dinner
The stomach requires much rest to be
healthy, purgative medicines weaken the
bowels. Cheerful conversation promotes
digestion, anger prevents it.-So. Farm

CoTToN.--Cotton should now make
"wced"-preparatory to fruiting in July
and August. Work it therefore as often
as possible. IF it is small and the ground
is hard, plough pretty deep in the middles
If the soil is clean and soft, sweepings or
harrowinss will answer. Let the hoes go
over carefully and remove all grass which
may have been overlooked. IF well-done,
little or no hocing will be needed thereafter
light ploughings until the limbs meet in
