VERY FRENCHE.

A correspondent of French paper,
commenting on the number of "mys-
terious disappearance constantly oc-
curing, not only in France, but also in
England, starts curious theory. He
maintains that death occasionally Is act
nal dissolution. Persons attacked by
this form of disease suffer no previous
illness. have no warning of their ap-
preaching end, but suddenly cease to
exist and Immediately fade from sight.
He asserts that some years ago he actu'
ally witnessed this phenomenon. He
was out walking with friend, with
whom he was engaged in an interesting
discussion on political question of the
day, when instantaneously his com
panion vanished, and from that hour tt
the present time has never reappeared
He has little doubt that many of th'
missing persons so anxiously searched
for by their friends and by the pollc'
have in like manner "melted into thin
air." At the moment of his friend
disappearance strong sulphurous odo
was noticed, but beyond this nothing re
markable was to be observed. The ques
ton is, he thinks, worthy of medical in
| vestigation.

In the British navy officers and men
may wear all the face-hair they can grow,
but in the ..army, except on foreign ser
vice, boards are tabooed. In most of
the continental armies similar restrie-
tons are III force, but in Belgium they
are more liberal, and during the present
month the Minister of War has issued a
general order to the effect that, mas
much as he hears that in some cases
boards have been prohibited, he must
remind all commanding officers that, by
a Ministerial decision of 1870, all men
i'll the army may wear their face-hail
Just as they please. In France waters
are vigorously prohibited from wearing
a mustache, and the same rule attains IL

SOME OF the Democratic papers are
shocked because the Republicans of
Cattaraugus County, New York, failed
to nominate Hon. Loren B. Sessions
for reelection to the State Senate.
Mr.. Sessions, it will be remembered,
is the man who Bradley said at
tempted to bride him to vote against
Conkling. We would have to have
stronger testimony than that OF
Bradley to convince us of the guilt
of Mr. Sessions. But he is under
indictment, and his acquittal in the
courts will be better vindication
than a reelection to the Senate. He
can afford to wait if he is innocent
and if he is guilty he ought not tc
have been nominated. The Democrats
arc queer lot of fellows. They
wanted him nominated so that they
could charge the Republicans Will
selecting for their leaders mer
guilty of bribery and corruption
But as he was not, they say it wa
base ingratitude for the Republicans
to desert Sessions while he was I'M
der fire. They are exceedingly hare
to please.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1881.

In the excitement of tue past ten
days over the condition of the Presi-
dent, we had almost lost sight of the
fact that a political campaign is pro
crossing in Mississippi. The Re
publicans of that State held their
State convention last week, and re-
solved to support Gen. Ben King for
Governor. He was already an in
dependent candidate. The Green
hackers held a convention the next
day after the Republicans held
theirs and they also decided
to support King. He is g
popular man and gentleman Of
character and ability. He is just
the man to lead a fight against the
cohorts of bourbonism. aud will make
it warm for that element. The bes
posted politicians believe he will b.
elected. Bourbonism is on it's las
legs, and in every blow Genera
King strikes at it's ugly carcass, h
has our warmest sympathies.

PERIQUE.


The best quality of this famous pro-
duction of Louisiana is grown and manu-
featured in the Parish of st. James, about
fifty-two miles above the city of New
Orleans, at and in the vicinity of Grand
Point. 1t takes the name from old
Pierre Chenet, known to all the inhabit-
ants by the name of Perique, who was
the first in st. James to cure and
manufacture tobacco by thus process,
which remains the same to day as
when old Perique was alive fifty years
ago.
The mode of curing is very rapid and
simple. When the plant is sufficiently
ripe, it is cut and hung IN sheds where
it is allowed to remain from six to twelve
days, according to weather. When the
leaf has become brown, and while the
stem is yet green, it is taken down,
stripped, stemmed, twisted into plugs
and placed in wooden boxes about twelve
inches square, open at each end, and, by
| means of a wooden lever, loaded with
| cord-wood at one end, the pressure
necessary is produced to force the juice
! out of the tobacco and saturate the
| whole mass. 1t is watched and careful
| ly examined from day to day for few
weeks, after which it is allowed to re-
main under pressure a few months. or
until the owner can make it convenient
to put it into carrots large, round plugs
OF from one TO four pounds each), which
are wrapped in. cloth and then wound
from end to end with strong cord,
which is allowed to remain until the
| owner sells his tobacco, from one to two
wears from the time of gathering the
crop.
| The great strength of Perique tobacco
improves the light, making it very pop.
ular for mixing, but, owing to the fact
that the product is forced by the rev
enue laws to pay 16 cents per pound tax,
and the manufacturer is compelled t.
paw an additional revenue tax when ht
converts it into cigarettes or tine-cu
smoking tobacco, it is too expensive fo
common mortals to indulge in, and it
production is much less than it would
otherwise be if Just laws were enacte,
in behalf OF This industry. All 0
which is remarked by the Nc1r Orleaa

WORK ON PUBLIC ROADS.

From every direction we hear that
the people are at work under the
new road law, improving the public
roads, and our observation is that
more good work has been done in
that direction during the, past four
months than was ever done in the
same period Of time SINCE Tennessee
was a State. So far as we know,
there is general disposition to give
the law fair trial. The taxpayers
pay their money cheerfully, and de-
sire to see the law fairly tested.
A great deal depends upon the
local commissioners who have charge
of the roads. The work is done
under their supervision. Ii it is iu-
diciously performed, at the right
time and at the right place, the
people.will soon see the good results
and will cheerfully do their part to
ward carrying out the objects of the
law. They will meet with many
petty annoyances, doubtless, but il
they go along and do right this will
cease soon, and they will be given
credit for what they have done
They should carefully note the
