MY FIRST CIGAR.

Twas just behind The woodshed,
one glorious summer-day;
Far Der tile hills the sinking sun
Pursued It's westward way.
And in my lone secusion,
Safely removed affair
From all Of earth's confusion,
| smoked my fist cigar.
All bright the boyish fancies
Wrapped IN the wreaths vi blue;
Ny eyes grew dim my head was hight,
The woOdshed round me flew.
Dark night closed in around me,
Rayess without a star;
Grim death | thought had found me,
And spoiled my fast cigar.
All. palIid was my noble brow,
The waning light was late;
1ly startled mother cried, in fear,
My child, what have you atei"
! heard my fathers smothered laugh -
II seemed so strange and far
| knew he knew knew he knew
Ia smoked my first cigar.

The fact that the white republican
leaders here are resorting to all manner OF
means, far and unfair, to keep the colored
men in ignorance Of the real iessues OF the
campaign, and to hold them in political
bondage in there own ranks, proves that
they recognize in them a political power
that is absolutely necessary to their exis.
tencc as party. They betray fear that
is almost childish and that
often manitests itself in an ex-
ceedingly ridiculous manner. They assume
a sort Of proprletorship over the colored
voters, regardless Of their intellectual status
by the authority of which they dictate to
them how they shall vote; threaten them
with ex-communication from their party
and debar them from all participation in
their delberatlons,i if they refuse to swear,or
affirm that they will vote straight Re
publican ticket. They go further than
that. Knowing that the doctrines they
have engrafted upon their brain will no,
bear the light Of truth, they resort to means
that bctray an assumption Of authority over
them, that borders on tyranny, to keep him

gathering which an able orator
and argufyer is to address
We must be permitted to protest agains

city and county, while contributing NOR
to the comforts and subsistence of tn

they have refrained from doing so. The
colored voters in Cairo,'as all through the
south, know that they do ana must depeni
chiefly upon their Democratic friends, for
that which keeps body and soul
together and that which con
tributes to the comforts Of their
daily life. Here in Cairo the great major.
ity of the colored men receive employment
from Democrats. They 90 to the Demo
cratic merchant, carpenter, mason, builder,
blacksmith, miller, miner, shipper and Of
fetal are employed by them; receive their
money, and in the evening attend some Re
publican meeting and applaud wildly while
some such representative of Republicanism
as John Reeve, Robarts or Douglas, hurls
epithets against their employers; calls them
scoundrels, rebels and denounces them as
unworthy of their respect and confidence.
The Democrats do not ask for the vote
of the colored men Of Cairo.
They ask time only to stop and consider;
to think for himself; to become worthy of
of American citizenship by breaking asun-
der the bonds placed upon him by unscru-
plous politicians, and after having given
both sides a fair hearing from now to the
end of the campaign, vote according to
the dictates, not of self'consttuted, self-ln-
terested political masters, but according to
their own dear consciences.

The BULLETIN, being emphaticaily q
paper Of NEws--a paper which presents ALI
the news of whatever character-t feels it
its duty to state that ladies hats will be worn
on the head during the coming season. Our
many readers will be glad to know this
Heretofore they have been worn anywhere,
but upon that particular spot-on the neck,
on the face, on the back, on the ears, on the
wing, on the go. And now they are to be
worn on the head! delightful! Come
to think of it we always
cherished an idea, anyway,
that the head was place upon which to
wear hat, and that the great army o.!
Cairo's handsome women, young and old,
would eventually awake to happy realiza-
ton of the fact. Of course, it will look a
little odd at first to observe all the girls
and married women going round with
their hats stuck upon their heads but we
expect to get use to it by-and-by. For their
part women think 1t very funny to see a
man trying to make his hat fit tobacco
sign, but truly heightened fellahs know tina,
such things are very common.

this fact the demand for it is continually

Preservation of Tomatoes.

The following description of the pro- cess of canning tomatoes is given by an exchange: The tomatoes are raised in the surrounding country here-chiefy in Arlington and Belmont, which lie about six or seven miles northwest of Boston. The kind preferred a. present are known as the Boston Market these are smooth, compact tomato, weigh ing from 150 to 200 grammes they are very solid, being we'll filled with meat and very few seeds. These are brought in daily and sold to the factories. At the factory they are emptied, bushel at time, into wire basket, and then scalded by dipping into @ tank of boil ing water. They are then removed to a large table, when they are sorted into firsts and seconds only, the ripest being packed as firsts. They are then meas ured out into pails holding about peck each, aud passed on to the skinners, who carefully skin and core them. They are then ready for packing. The cans are filled by hand, the tomatoes being packed as closely as possible into tue cans. It is found at this stage of the operation that the juice is present in ex- cess and a considerable portion of it is thrown away. No water is ever used, as the tomatoes furnish more than enough. After the cans are filled to within an eighth of an inch of the top, the lid is placed upon them and soldered fast. A small hole IS then punched in it, and the cans are placed in hot bath until steam issues from the hole 1; they are then removed from the bath and allowed to cool slightly and sealed 1; they are then returned to another bath in which they are boiled from thirty to forty five minutes from this bath they are removed to q cooling room. Next morning, when cooled, they are stacked. At the end of the packing season the cans are examined, and those which have spoiled are rejected. The condi- ton of a can can almost always be told from an examination of the outside. A can in good order has the ends concave. If, on the other hand, the ends are con vex, it is almost certain that the can is spoiled.
