The evils of food adulteration have
become so conspicuous that public
sentiment everywhere demands de-
cisiye Legislation on the subject.
Some of the States have already en-
acted restrictive laws, and this winter
others will undoubtedly follow their
example. 1t is high time that the
sale of vile compounds to unsuspecting
consumers should be stopped in every
State. To run the risk of sickness
from eating impure articles, and to be
swindled at the same time, is little
more than the average citizen can en-
dure without a vigorous protest. The
American people favor fair dealing.
They believe in calling things by their
right names. If each individual must
eat his peek of dirt, let him at least
have the privilege of selecting the
dirt; and so of other substances more
harmful. The Wisconsin Legislature
is the first, thus far, during the present
winter TO consider this class of frauds;
and from the manifest temper of that
body, The trade in bogus butter, bogus
honey and other unwholesome mix
lures, will not flourish hereafter in
the Badger State. 1t isproposed that
limitations of food articles shall be
branded and sold as such. All the
States, probably, will soon have SINH
lar statutes. No other Legislation is
needed. People simply want to know
what they are buying, and this they
have right know.

PoPULATIoE OF CADDo.-The
following is the official report of
the population of Caddo parish, as
given in the bulletin issued BIZ the
census bureau at Washington !:
Total, 26,3o5 male, Is, 1853 !; female,
13,146; native, 25,665; foreign
born, GAO, whites, 6922; eolored,

The TEXAS AND PACIFIC.-The
grading force on the Texas Pacific
is now at work Oh the Staked
Plains, fifty miles west of the
Colorado river. Arrangements
have been perfected to begin
grading at El Paso, working east
ward. Grading has been completed
to a point 262 miles west of Dallas,
and iron is laid beyond Abilene,
in Taylor county.
CADDo TAxEs.-Sheriff John
Lake left yesterday for New
Orleans, for the purpose of making
his tax settlement with the State
Auditor and Treasurer, for the
past year. He informs ms that he
had collected considerably over
two-thirds of the State and parish
taxes for last year and that in
Guiding back taxes paid to him,
his total collections during the
year footed up about $50, 900, !
which under the circumstances is
q very fair showing. He is, how
ever, badly behind in the coiIec-
tion of the poll tax. Out of some
thing over $1,000 poll taxes as
sessed in the parish be has thus
far only been able to collect about
$1,000. 1t is his intention Oh his
return to devote special attention
to the collection of this tax. He
dislikes exceedingly to have to
make seizures of personal prop
ertyto collect the paltry sum of
VI, the amount due as a poll tax
by each voter in the parish, but if
necessary, lie will do so. The poll
tax is set aside by law exclusively
to support the public schools in
the parish, and every citizens should
come forward cheerfully and pay
his part. of it.

q The following interesting item az
pears in the last number of g Cotton
q New York weekly, devoted to tn
interests of cotton planters and mann
facturers. q Cotton is a valuabl,
publication, and should be in til,
hands of every cotton planter.
The Mirror, of the sth instant, o.
Fcrnandina, Florida, is responsible fol
the following item:
Mr.. Richardson, of Cresson, Miss.
10 the largest cotton planter in the
world, and is the cotton king Of
America. He has worked hard all his
life, and is still working. He is popn-
lar with the masses, and especially so
with his colored laborers. He is gen
orally believed to have accumulated
from SIS, 100000 to $40, 100000 all
made in the South, the poor South.
Eight hundred hands are employed in
the factories, three-fourths of whom
are women, gathered from the sur
rounding country, good, faithful and
intelligent. The remaining fourth
are boys, gathered from various places,
"a few from the North and few from
England and Scotland, who worked
400 looms and $4,000 spindles. In
cotton these mills consume daily from
eighteen to twenty bales, besides an
enormous quantity of wool, obtained
mostly from the Florida parishes of
Louisiana on Lake Ponchartrain. The
prices of the products of these mills
are kept down to rock bottom, and
these mills being situated in the
Southern cotton belt and in the wool
producing districts, and no freights
to pay on cotton, their facilities for
buying the raw material are without
donbt unsurpassed, and they can thus
undersell al others. Their savings
in freight, having to pay none at all,
amounts to seven or eight dollars per
bale. These goods find ready sale
N all the large cities. The mills arc
low running day and night, using the
Brush electric lights, making the build
ngs as bright as day. The night
lands are separate and distinct from
nose that work in the day. All hands
work tremendously together. There
las never been a strike, nor any
hreats of such thing. There is no
olorcd labor employed, except five

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. p, 1881
Particulars reached here to-day
of a serious outbreak between the
whites and blacks ofWhite Church
neighborhood, ten miles from Au
gnsta, Woodruff county. Some
white people had met at Snaps
store with a crowd of colored men
all got drunk, and the carousal re
suited in a general fight, which has
now been running several days.
DIR. Dale, summoned to dress a
wounded man, was shot by mis-
take, and fatally injured. Charley
johnson, also white, and half a
dozen colored men have been seri-
ously wounded. Politics cut no
figure in the disgraceful affray.

A May OF sport.
IN. o. Democrat. ]

IN. y. Democrat.
The city went wild over the snow
yesterday, and from early dawn
until somewhat after noon, when
the suns rays had dissipated it,
every street was filled with happy
excited crowds OF people ofall ages,
both sexes and every condition,
who made snow-balls fly, and gave
and took IN the best natnred man
ner imaginable.
business was suspended every
where while the snow lasted. Maya
zine, Poydras, Tehoupitonlas, and
the other streets on which the
largest trade is done, presented
such scenes as the Oldest inhabi-
talit cannot remember ever to have
witnessed before, and as the
youngest citizens who viewed it
will probably never look upon
again. Staid old merchants, as
they neared their stores and places
OF business after having been the
target for hundreds on the way,
We're received by their own clerks
with showers of balls, and for the
time employer and clerk were on d
level. Everywhere the missiles
few. and neither age, person nor
position were respected.
Carondelet street gave itself up
to the sport which prevailed every
where, and went into it with the
vim and spirit which characterizes
all its doings. Bonds and stocks
and futures were forgotten in the
up-going and tdown-coming oflthe
masses of Snow which vigorous
arms sent flying through the air.
Taken altogether, yesterday was
one Of the maddest, widest, most
iulirthfnl days New Orleans has
ever known.

The members Of the House are not
over anxious for work. They seem to-
incline more to smoking. There are
many members in the clock rooms en-
joying cigars during the daily session.
They care not what is going on in the
House, and exhibit an apathy as re-
CARDS business that is disgraceful-
This applies 10 both Democrats and
Republicans The smoking men Am
the cloak rooms, it should be stated,
are, BY a large majority, members wha
have not been returned to the next
Congress. They don't care whether
school keeps OF not, just so they draw
their pay. They have nothing 10 lock
forward to, and are going TO take il as
easy as they can during the shert ri
mainder Of their terms of office. Their
absence from the work for which they
are paid often causes embarrassment
and delay. They come ont of their
smoking lairs one BY one alter q vote

to have themselves recorded on the

The following is special cablegram
to the Cincinnati Times-Star:
London, Jan. 1o.--The aspect of
London to-day is amazing. No one re-
members any sueh scenes as are pre-
scented, and they are indeed almost in
desciibablc. Nehicnlar traffic is en-
tirely abandoned. Onnibuses and cabs
have ceased attempting to run.
The only method Of transportation
is by the Underground Railroad, and
the elevated road ontbe Surrey side of
the river.
The scenes at the stations of the
Underground Railroad are those of i'm
mense crowds endeavoring to force
their way into the cars, which are
packed, despite the regulations of the
Company, far beyond their safe capa-
city.
The tide in the Thames is the high
est ever known.
The docks at Black Friar's Bridge,
Lambeth, and in the southern districts
Of London, on the Surrey side, are
overlooking through the violence Of
the gales and the unprecedented rising
IF the river.
