LITTLE jake JONES.
How He Shocked His Dear Old
Grandmother i'm Reading u Recipe.
Detroit Free Press

Old Mrs. Jones borrowed Mrs. Browns
recipe for making watermelon pickle the
other day. and, being hard of hearing,
as she couldn't see to read very well, she
got her grandson jake to read it for her.
jake took the paper, like adutitnl child,
and, holdingit upside down, commenced
"Take green watermelon"
"Why, jake, amt you mistaken |
thought the melon must be ripe
ooh, what's the matter wild yewg
Gew ever see watermelon that wasn't
green 7"
"Cut the waterlon into four halves
'.But there amt only two halves to
anything. | don't believe yon are read
ing that, jake"
"Well, don't have to, anyhow that's
what the reseet says. Then soak it in a
pint cup"
ooh, dear me. How in the world can
you put watermelon in a pint cup"
"Well, | amt here to tell the whereas
and howfores. Pm just readin' the facts
and you can put in the tilosofee to suit
your taste. After soakin' the melon put
it III skillet and fry it fur five days"
II wonder if Mr. Brown sent me such
a recipe as that ?" said the old lady; but
jake kept on:
"'Then put the watermelon in a quart
bowl and pour over it gallon of vine
gar, taking care not to spill the vine
gar"
"rd just like to know how you can
pour gallon into quart bowl without
splitting any of it," but jake continued:
'Then sife a peck of red pepper
through milk strainer over the melon,
and to one cup of butter add the white
and yOkes and shells of three eggs, and
throw in the old hen that laid them, and
four sticks of cinnamon drops and two

like business, as they at once called
meeting at the Mayors Office on the
evening Of the LIST inst, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the
question Of railroad communication
with the town of Clinton, and to look
to all such matters, in conjunction
with the citizens generally, as will
further this much needed and long
talked of enterprise. The CAPIToL1-
AN, in an able and very interesting
leader, heads it's article with this
significant sentence, "On to Clinton"
and we say, as we have often said be-
fore, on to Clinton, our neighboring
town, and to Liberty with the rail-
road and all it's c0ncommitant adj
vantages. OF the advantages to our
country and people that would result
to them from the completion of this
cherished object OF ours, we have
said our say, we have piped to our
people in this interest, and as yet
they have not danced, and il they
still refuse to cooperate with the
moving spirits of Baton Rouge and
Clinton who are engineering this
grand public improvement, from
which our county, State and people
might derive such benefits, they have
only to blame themselves and regret
their great mistake in not taking
hold of the matter when success is
within their certain reach. Let us
not permit this road to fail to reach
our town for want Incorporation with
the active movers in our sister State
and cities. We occupy position on
the line that all can see would be
favorable to q connection with the
other and more active business towns
now reaping the benefit of some rail-
way communication. And with that
extended, why not make Baton
Rouge great railroad centre ? Its
location is favorable to this. The faI
out West the South, the North and
the East need this centre, and if we
but exert the influence we can com
mand, and employ the means that
| we are able to, this enterprise will be
, a c0nsummation that this whole
southern portion of the country viii
justly be proud OF.

LETTER FROM NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. 18th, lsrl.
DEAR CAPITOLIAN.-Said an old
New York Granger to the writer:
"Thc Crescent City seems to be the
most unfortunate town in the coun
try" He was referring to the late
overflow in the eastern part Of the
city which section, upon being visit
ed by your correspondent, was found
to be in a pitiable, water-soaked con-
dition. The view from Claiborne
street bridge at the canal looking
down, disclosed scene that was as
novel to the spectator as it was dis
tressing to those most concerned.
The water was on level with the
lower floors of the houses, wherein
the restitution, caused by the over
flow, presented itself in various pha-
ses. Cows, chickens and horses were
domiciled in front rooms, and the wa
ter was up to the counters in the cor
ner groceries. In all directions could
be seen skitis and newly made flats
of all kinds conveying goods and fam
lilies to dry land. Over two hundred
families have been placed at disad-
vantage in the battle of life, and the
sickness and the want arising from
this mad mingling of waters has been
met with commendable promptitude
in the shape of liberal donations OF
supplies and cash-something like
$1,000 having been subscribed by our
benevolent residents.
The late storm, which has cut OF
railroad and Geographic communities
ton with the outside world has been
followed by dry, cold spell, which
swings our creaking signs, and un-
furls to tho keen air the Royal Stand
ard of His Majesty, Rex.
Speaking Of the Carnival, the indi-
cations are that we will have an am.
ateur Centennial crowd: and the rail
road, steamboat and lodging-houst
} people, together with our business
men generally, are above par in hap
piness. Consequently empty dry
goods boxes are in good demand ant
if any of your readers wish to engage
t rooms, now is the accepted time.

BATON ROUGE AND TIE RAIL
ROAD.
Liberty, Miss, Herald.


Our Baton Rouge exchanges, the
CApITOLIAN and Advocate, come to
us this week full of the most cheer
ing and encouraging accounts of the
action of Gov. Wilt, Col. WheelOCk,
of the Pacific road, and the City
Council of Baton Rouge, upon the
subject of railroad enterprise. The
public spirited and enlightened Chief
MAGISTRATE of Louisiana, being fully
awake to the Importance Of develop
inc the resources Of that growing and
already rich State, has interested
himself in putting in motion an en-
terprise that cannot fail to result in
the object he foresees in the near tu-
ture by the working of his plans
His interview with Col. Wheelock,
in the Office of the New Orleans Pa
cifc Railroad, in the city Of New Or
leans, La, in conjunction with the
Hon. Leon Jastremski, Mayor OF
Baton Rouge, resulted in the call
of a meeting of the City Council OF
Baton Rouge on the 9th ult', at
which meeting committee of four,
with the Mayor added, vas appoint
ed TO attend to tile subject of rail-
road communication between Baton
Rouge and Clinton, La. This looks

THE HIGHER LAW.

llG .IOlIOt Dui1ONh ~ vs. SS.~S~
ingly well written editorial takes Is
sue with the CApIToIIAN, with regard
to the structures applied to the three
Justices Of the Supreme Court, That
were contained in an article entitled
"The Higher Law"
The Bulletin comedies, "that article
n of amendments to the Constitution
Of the United States, viz The judi
cial power of the United States shall
not be construed to extend to any
suit in law or equity commenced or
prosecuted against one Of the United
States by citizens of another State, or
by citizens or subjects of any foreign
State, does appear to open the way 10
martial or total reputation to the
States"
1t goes on further to say: "Had
the decision grown out Of suit
against the State we would not have
had one word to say in its defense.
But it was against u Corporation,
political body having certain specific
rights and liabilities, chief among
which are to sue and be sued"
In reply to the above we submit
that " Corporation exists so long as
the sovereign, the State, wills it. SO
does the right to sue or be sued. The
State can destroy its creature or limit
any right it holds. The Sovereign
will hadnot abolished the Corporation
of New Orleans, but it had ordained
that its inhabitants could not be taxed
more than ten mills for all purposes.
Will the Bulletin hold that the un-
assailable whole ofthe Sovereign can
not shield from assault one of its in
tegral parts, because the Sovereign
has chosen to grant it certain rights
which it can recall at pleasure
Can another creature of the Sover'
eign, the Supreme Court-unless it,
action be revolutionary-curtail OF
destroy the power of the Sovereign
We believe that the will of the peo
pie of the State is its Sovereign Law
which the creatures appointed to carry
il into execution have no warrant tt
abrogate.
They are the revolutionists who dc
it and not the representatives of TIN
people who call them to account TO
having exceeded their powers.
We entertain the highest respect TO
the individual character Of the tire
Justices who have committed the gray
error of which we have complained
but cannot remain silent when tn
fundamental principles of popula
sovereignty are destroyed by tn
Judgment OF three mortal men, who's
dictum is no more infallible than til
one pronounced by Chief Justice Bel
mudez and Associate Justice Pocht
who, in dissenting, have bowed to tn
will of the Sovereign.
We maintain that the Higher La
