and in August Of that year the
New Orleans Democrat, the or
gan Of the Democratic party
said:
''Thc fight against Pinchbacl,
in the Fourth Wards engineer.
ed by James q. Anderson. II,
is a respectable carpet bagger."'
About August 10, 1876, the
New Orleans Repubicae, the or
gan of the party in Louisiana,
in announcing our appointment
as Supervisor of East Fclici-
ana, said:
''Mr. Anderson is an intelli-
gent, civilized gentleman,
whose appointment will give
satisfaction to both parties in
East L liciana."
In December, 1877, John
Sherman, after his return from
Louisiana, declared in the Unit
ell States Senate Chamber that
the character Of the writer had
never been impeached. We
commend his speech to the care
ful attention ofthc editor ofthc
Enterprise.
One Of Kellogg's staunchest
henchmen and trusted advisers
was John e. Leet, who l'eld Il
$4,000 position under KellOg9's
government. If the Enterprise
editor will turn to page 922 of
Potter investigation, he will
find this passage.
Question (by the Chairman) -
''Who was it that said that if
Anderson was killed he would be
a frst-class martyr?"
An. wer-''Mr. Kellogg. He
first told me that Anderson
would help the party by going
up there and getting killed, as
he had the decentest record Of
any Republican in the State,
and the dccenter the record the
better the martyr, and the more
capital could be made out OF it
on the Northern stump"
On March 6, 1877, u. B. Conn,
editor Ct the Steubenville CO.,
Herald, and Il personal friend OF
Hayes, wrote him as follows:
1--WE have known for Il series
f years the bearer of this letter,
Mr.. James T.. Anderson, as Il
journalist, and so far as our per-
sOnal knowledge extends can
indorse him as Il worthy young
man and a stounch Republican,.
He was in great measure i'll
strumcntal in saving us the
State"
In March, just after the inau-
guratiOn, Hayes wrote Evarts:
"Give this gentleman Il con-
sulship in a warm climate. This
is a special case"
Was the Especial case' owing
to our being an unmitigated
scOundrel, or a desire OH the
part of Mr.. Hayes to furnish Il
square. meal for cannibals
john NJ. Harlan came to New
Orleans with the McNeagh Com
mission, and Stanley Mathews,
United States Senator froIl
Ohio, forwarded us the follow
ing letter Of Introduction:
CINCINNATI, March -, ~.
gen. John NJ. Hu,ldn--Dc0r Sir:
This will be presented to you
by Mr.. James E. Anderson, who
may desire to communicate
with you contidentially.
The confidential interviews
between Harlan and the writer
related to the manner in which
Louisiana was stolen. The re-
suit was thc the State Govern
ment was turned over to the
Democrats, and Harlan made
Il member of the Supreme
Bench Of the United States.
On May24, 1877, Stanley Ma
thcws wrote EVartS:
|'The circumstances in which
Mr.. Anderson has been placed
and in which he has been COM
PEELED to act a very difficult
part are such as to give Il very
strong claim upon the adminis-
tratiOn."
If we simply did our duty in
Louisiana, what strong claim

The truth is, we never voted fo]
a Democrat in our life. Th>
charge is silly, and is ia keeping
with the balderlash contained
in the whole article.
Admitting, for arguments
sake tha5 the assertions of the
Enterprise be true, and that the
writer is a ''social monster anj
a blacknailer." If the charge
be true, what was James Ca,
sey, eX-Collector Of the port OF
New Orleans, and a brother-in-
law of Grant, under whom we
held a position for years? What

of the Louisiana delegation in
Congress, who backed the writ

1877 What is John NJ. Har-
Ian, now a member Of the Sll-
preme Bench of the United
States. and one of NcVeagh's
Commission, who, after we had
shown him that the State was
stolen for Hayes, urged Evarts
to senG us to South America ?

United States Senator and
brother-in-law Of Hayes, who,
after getting possession Of the
proofs Of the conspiracy, de-

had informed him in his own
reception room that Louisiana
had been carried by fraud, gave
us the appointment as consul
to Funchal9 What is John
Sherman, who induced Don
Weber and the writer to let the
forged protests Of East and
West Feliciana go by default Z?
Truly, the Enterprise keeps
good company. When it at
tempts to disprove our first
statement by some other meth
od than the use OF billings-gate
of a very low order, we shall
have something more to say on
the subject. 1t evidently trusts
to the old adage, that a ''Iie
will travel a thousand miles
while truth is putting on its
boots"
The Chronicles in error. The
protest upon which East Felici-
ana was thrown Out, was origi-
nally a simple statement of
facts that had been reported
from different sources. The

Chalk and Water in Milk

The daily city papers often cH,i atsen-
ton to the quality of the milk furnished
to city customers. There is abundant
reason for doing this, and they not too
frequently insist that milk must be fur
nished just as it comes from the COW.
But these articles lose much of their
force by implying, indeed some of them
directly asserting, that mixture of
chalk and water is served in place of
milk. This is absurd the most skilled
manipulation can make no mixture of
any form Of chalk that will be more
dense than ordinary milk, from which
the chalk will not completely settle,
upon standing for a few hours. We
doubt if there was ever pint OF milk
sold in New York city in which chalk
was used as an adulteration. In Lon
don, milk and other authorizations were
carried to such an extent that Parlia
ment had the matter investigated some
years ago. DR.. Hassell. who was Off
cially connected with these examina-
tions, and has probably examined more
samples of milk than any other person
says of chalk and starch in milk, while
he admits that they may be very rarely
used, that "it has not happened to our
selves to meet these substances in milk.
Wanklyn, also of London, in the most
recent work on the Analysis of Milk"
says nothing about the occurrence of
chalk. The fact is, the most serious
adulteration of milk is with water. Be-
sides the addition of water, milk is i'm
poverished by the abstraction of cream.
These two, the taking off of cream and
putting in water, are the worst that
happen to city milk, and these are bad
enough. 1t diverts attention from
these real troubles, to talk about i'm
probable, if not impossible "chalk and
water" American A griculturist, Feb. l

Blind Tom at Home.

Blind Tom when at home in Georgia,
lives in building about two hundred
yards from the house, and there remains
alone with his piano, playing all day
and night, like some one possessed with
Madness Bad weather has an effect
upon his music. In cloudy rainy
seasons he plays sombre music in minor
chords; and when the sun shines and
the birds sing he INDUCES in waltzes
and light music. Sometimes he will
hammer away fol hours producing the
most horrible discord imaginable. Sud-
denly change comes over him and he
INDUCES in magnificent bursts of har-
mony, taken from the best productions
of the masters. Since his childhood he
has been an idiot and he played nearly
as well at the age Of seven AS he does
now; but now his repertoire is much
larger and he can play anything he has
ever heard. He now plays about seven
thousand pieces and picks up new ones
everywhere. 1t is o curious fact that no
will not play Sunday school music if no
can help it, having great dislike for it

tea and cream are of the best, and the
rose geraniums flourish in her windows.
The children take bread and slop for
breakfast, watery soup and grizzly meat
for dinner, bread and black molasses for
supper, and hang round back easements,
and sit stupid in bare, sunless rooms. For
company, they regale themselves with
tattling, relating stories of their lives,
or of their past employers, which do
credit to their imaginations if not their
hearts, and an education of the worst
sort goes on under the decorous, un-
troublesome institution life. Once
hardened girls prefer prison life, or be-
ing "sent up to the island" to the strict
ness and baroness combined of the
charitable home. The prison is barer,
bnt it has more human interest. This
is no overdrawn picture. Women who
have tigerish tenderness for their own
children can he as callous to the real
wants of other children under their care
as it is possible to imagine. And chart
ties under them are certain to be man.
aged in this way. Charities in general
are looked upon by unprincipled shrewd
men and women rs excellent chances for
getting support without too much
work. Brutality, neglect and crime are
sure to to be the order of things under
such persons. 1t is not long enough
ago to be forgotten that the matron of
charity for girls turned a girl of sixteen
into the street one stormy night few
hours before her child was born. Inves-
tigation was hushed up. The matron
was very sorry when she found that
even institution rules were not consid-
cred excuse for inhumanity, and pleaded
failure of judgment. Lack of judgment
and of heart in equal proportions will
be found the fault of good many per-
sons in charge of similar sacred trusts,
and their manners and methods call for
prompt and strict investigation.
