"a COUNTRY PAPER"

Such is the expression used by
the. city Item in referring to the
HERALD, and censuring as Wild and b
stupid our article of last week
wherein we drew attention to the
attack made upon Federal Cours
by the Times Democrat.
"a country paper and thank the
Lord for it, if a metropolitan paper
lis to be controlled bS every gust Of
passion which arises in the excitable
and tnmultuous portion Of the com
munity. Indeed, there could be no
better proof ofthe advantages which
the country editor, in many ways,
has over his city contemporary, than
this spasmolic fit of spleen and
abuse which, simply this last Judg-
ment Of the United States Circuit
Court in favor OF Il venerable lady
has created, against a great corpo-
ration.
1 Instead of advising the city to
appeaI,and the rich property holders
to sign the appeal bond, and thus
quietly secure the reversal OF the
Judgment so violently alleged to be
wrong. a large portion of the Amer
lean city press have abusiyely
attacked and villified the judge,
plaintiff and her counsel.
Such fits of spleen the country
press would not fall into. When
. things irritate us, VIC generally,
before publication day, have time
to cool off. In cases OF unusual ex-
citement some cool headed friend,
g planter or merchant, kindly inquiries
! into the matter and by his level
head and cooler counsels, keeps the
country editor from making a fool
$ of himself, perhaps even preventing
$ his being shot at.
Again, the country paper has NO
i temptation to revive old enmities to
# the Federal government. Under no
d possible circumstances would a
.scountry paper" excuse the assas
j sination of Federal Judge, OF
II threatened lynchipg Of respectable
i counsel; all from disappointment as
i to the result of % law suit.

this, would seem to represent the
real sentiment OF the people of New
Orleans is forcibly shown by the

AS much building goingon in this
section, and roofing is an important
part of every mans study when
building, any new ideas on this sub,
iect must prove interesting:
The Philadelphia Record makes mention of
one fact that cotton has been manufactured
into coarse ducling, and successfully used as
roofing material. 1t is said to be superior to
shingles and slate, and is admirably adapted for
covering houses being non-conductor ofheat
The material is stretched upon the root in q
manner similar 10 placing wall paper in posi-
ton, and is then coated with White lead and
OIL. Fire proof paint Iuay also be used upon
the material, and it is likely that in the neal
future, this style Of roofing will be quite com
mon, Such quality of cotton goods, are manu-
featured in the Georgia mills, and other manu-
tactures are looking to this quality of fabric
with interest.

The differences between rice and
sugar planters, growing out of the
damage done to the latter from rice
fields, are numerous aud serious.
I 1t is extremely difficult to establish
a remedy, but the st. James police
jury has hit on the following 81 stem
which may be a good one for all we
know. We give 1t for what it is
worth:
On motion, duly seconded, 1t was resolved
| that all persons cultiyating rice on plantations
adjoining otherp plantations which may be under
cultivation either in cane or corn, or both, shall
| be requested to make and keep open line ditch
es of sufficient capacity to carry oil the seapage
or surplus water used by them for flooding pur
poses. That they shall also be required to build
and keep in good repairs strong and substantial
levees OH lands BY them cultivated in rice and
along side OF said line bitches in order to flood
against said levees SO as to prevent the water
used by them from flooding their neighbori
fields. That any person or persons who may
be damaged by rice planters in Violation OF the
foregoing ordinances may call upon the Syndl'
and Road aud Leyee overseer OF his ward WIT
shall notify said rice planter to comply with thu
above ordinances within three days, and upol
his failure so to do shall proceed to close hi
rice fumes. That any person who shall at
tempt to open any Rice hume duly closed b,
the Syndic in pursuance OF the resolutions shal
be fined il the sum offifty dollars for each Of

and of the soil their bone and muscle
assist us to cultivate, emitting their
inestimable service as beasts Of burden
in the carrying. trade of the state.
In the light of these figures it is
scarcely necessary to add further COM
ment. They speak louder than words.
The eloquence of facts presses on us
the necessity of action, and it is for
this that this series of articles is writ
ten. We appeal to the farmers to aid
us in bringing to bear upon our educa-
tors the necessities which rests upon us.
Here are vast tracts of land uncultiva-
ted that are fairly bursting with poten-
tial fertility. Here are great alluvial
beds that reclaimed from the food
and morass might in a few years wave
back their thanks to science with tassel
and with spear; vast acres of mountain
lands that might be made to pour
down upon us rich libations of ruby
wine; mighty sweeps of forests where
the owl and the bittern boot and moan
that might fill out the grand diapason
of nature with the hum of the mill and
the buzzing of the lathe. We cannot
let these things pass from us. 1t is the
opprobrium Of science and the disgrace
of our people.
In our next we shall indeavor to set
forth in greater detail the several in.
terests which demand development and
call for educational cooperation.

DISCRIMINATING Hen Lice.

To rid the henhouse of hen lice, and
prevent their return, whitewash the en-
tire inside of the building with lime
wash made with hot water three parts
and kerosene one part. Ifyou can get
crude petroleum, paint the whole with
that first, and use ordinary whitewash
after the petroleum has been absorbed
by the wood. The roosts and floors
should be included in the treatment.
An occasional application of kerosene
to the roosts, during warm weather,
will prevent the trouble after the
building is cleaned.-Country Gentle

The three gigantic evils of civilized
man are scrofula, chronic rheumatism,
and neuralgia. Edward Wilder's, Sar-
saparilla and Potash cures and eradi-
Gates all these. The combination
which, by his process, is made between
these two reliable medicines, is one
rarely attained, but which brings out
their most useful properties. They
clean the entire glandular system, they
purify the blood whose impurity is at
the source of all these Affections, they
increase and render all the secretions
healthy. Numberless testimonials pour
upon him for their wonderfully resto-
rative and strengthening effects from
sufferers who have been benefited by
this wonderful medicine. We need
not say that in cases of mercurial faint
its effects are magical, for it removes all
the bad blood, and reinvigorates the
constitution by making it pure, and
clean, and fresh.

A Word to Farmers.

Fayetville Observer.
Any one who has noticed the amount
of farming machinery that is yearly
brought to this place, although the val
ues is not known, realizes that vast
amount OF money goes out of the coun-
ty in return for these implements. In
order that farmer may follow his adj.
vocation advantageously and proftably
it is necessary that he have the latest
machinery that will enable him to do
the greatest amount of work in the
best manner. Farmers, as class, are
the most lmprovident people there are.
They will buy a good machine and
after using it they do not house it but
leave it exposed to the action of the
elements, and, as sequenc, a machine
that should do good service for six or
eight years is decayed and worthless
in about three. An exposure the year
round will prove a severer strain on it
than the wear it is subjected to during
theseason's work. Farmers complain
of their hard lot and the difficulty
they have in earning living, while
on farms there is more wasted in a
year than would support a family in
town during the same tim e
Economic and after getting through
with the plows, harrows and other
agricultural implements put them I'M
der shelter and this complaint will
cease. This reckless waste and prodi-
gality Of the farmers is the providence
Of the machine dealers. If any one
wants to secure competency so that
in his advanced years he can be made
free from work he must live economi.
cally. There is no royal road to
wealth; burn it upon your minds SC
that it cannot be efaced, that the sure
way to attain this end is through econ.

The CLEANING OF BRAss-The
government method prescribed for
cleaning brass, and IN use at all the
United States arsenals, is said to be the
best in the world. The plan is to
make mixture of one part common
nitric acid and one half part sulphuric
acid in stone jar, having also ready a
pail Of fresh water and box of saw
dust, The articles to be treated are
dipped into theacid, then removed into
the water, and finally rubbed with saw
dust. This Immediately changes them
to brilliant color. IF the brass has
become greasy, it is first dipped in a
strong solution of potash or soda in
warm water; this dissolves the grease,
so that the acid has free power to act.

PoTAToEs.-lt is very important
that potatoes should be barreled as
soon as possible after they are dug, as
lying in the sun heats them and causes
them to rot. Avoid dih ging immedi-
ately after a heavy rain. All potatoes
should be barreled when as dry and
cool as it is possible to have them.
Assert very carefully and ship nothing
but the largest, having them as uni,
form in size as possible, as culls or
small ones do not increase the bulk
much, but add to the weight and dam
ages the sale so that they bring no re-
turn and actually depreciate the value
of the full sized ones with which they
are mixed. Use full sized, round,

The postoffice department has contract
ed for very large quantity of the new
style of postal cards, or combined letter
and envelope, as it is sometimes called.
Fears have been expressed by some postal
experts that it would interfere greatly
with the revenue of the department, espe-
cially if reduction in postage to 2 cents
were adopted, but those in favor of the
new cards reply that the same was claimed
when the postal cards were first proposed.
and then, as now, letter postage was 8
cents. Should reduction be made lar
ger sheet and envelope combined with 2
cent stamp upon it would be among the
things TO follow
