A CURE FOR SMALLPOX.

A correspondent writes to the
New Orleans City Item as follows:
"Please publish the following
recipe for the benefit of smallpox
and scarlet fever patients. I copied
it from an old newspaper which
claims that it is a sdre cure. l
shall feel only too happsit should
be the means of saving but one
life. Here it is: Sulphate of zinc,
one grain; foxglove (digitalis) one
grain; Tablespoonful OF sugar;
mix with two tablespoonsful of
water. When thoroughly mixed,
add four ounces Of water. Take
spoonful every hour. Either dis
ease will disappear in twelve hours.
For child smaller doses, accord
ing to age. It is unfailing as fate,
and conquers in every instance. It
is harmless when taken by well
person, and has cured smallpox
when learned physicians said the
patient must die.

SILK CULTURE.
EGG RAISING.

Atpresent there is more profit in
raising eggs for the markets OF
France, Italy and this country, than
in producing worms or reeled silk.
The female moth lays from 3aC to
400 eggs, and an ounce will be pro-
duced by every two hundred moths.
In st. Tammany parish, Mr.. Rocchi
averaged an ounce of eggs from one
hundred moths This is unusual,
however. The worms which, from
an ounce of eggs. will yield from 100
to $50 pounds of coeoons. at 81 Is
to 50 per pound, will produce from
100 to 120 ounces of eggs. at 50 to
So an ounce. Two hundred trees
may be planted on an acre of
ground. They will produce 1000
pounds of leayes. This will more
than feed the worms from an ounce
of eggs. One hundred and twenty
ounces of eggs from one ounce, sold
at So per ounce. will bring $500 to
shs acre, and this, too, in six weeks

s'Nor GUILTY" The famous star
route trials came to a close last
Thursday. the jury bringing in a
verdict of "not guilty" TIE trials
lasted nearly seven months. and
cost the Government over S4OO, 900.
Leading New York papers COM
ment on the verdict as follows:
The Sun says: In our opinion..it
is not necessary to impute folly or
knavery either to the Judge or to
the jury, in order to explain the es-
cape of the star route defendants.
We believe they have been ably
prosecuted and fairly tried. The
acquittal is attributed tc the ill.,
herent difficulties Of proof. requir-
ing extraordinary skill and labor to
establish their. guilt: beyond a rea-
sonable doubt.
The World says: The false ver-
dict rendered by the jury in the
star route prosecution is more than
failure of justice. It is a public
calamity. 1t proves that the pro-
LESSONS of Garfield, Arthur, Brew
ster, Bliss, and all the Republican
administration crowd, were shall
low humbug.
The Tribune says: A verdict of
not guilty. following the confessions
of Rerdell and the array Of cumu-
lative evidence of a conspiracy. SO
far from raising a presumption of
innocence, or satisfying the pub
lie that the evidence was defective,
will be thought only to show that
corruption and ignorance have
combined to do perfect work.
The Herald says: Nor is it al
lowable to say, as we see it sug-
gested, that the verdict con:radicts
the evidence. The jury was the
final Judge of that. That seems to
us final. 1t does. not prove that
there was not gross waste and NAL
administration in the Postofiice De-
partment. The verdict of the jury
has not merely acquitted the de-
PENDANTS. It condemns the Attor-
ney General aud his helpers. II de-
clares, on the oatIs Of twelve men,
that the Government brought false
charges against these defendants.
That is serious matter. 1t is an
injury for which these men ought
to have redress from the Govern
ment
The Times says: It is going to
be very hard work for the Reput-
lican party to elect its candidate
for President next year. Turn
the rascals out is to be the war
cry Of the Democrats next summer.
This does not mean merely the
proved, though as yet unbranded
rascals. It means you President
Arthur. you Secretary Eolger, you
Secretary Chandler, you abr. Hat
ton. It means turn out everybody
who is now IN.

power is wasted. by putting it in
motion, and the other two-thirds
are unproftably used in crushing
the cane SO imperfectly that a por-
ton of the juice, equal to half the
quantity extracted, is left and lost
in the bagasse.
He substitutes in its stead his
"pulpifactor," which consists of two
series of vertical saws. specially
made for cutting sugar canes. and
fixed to two frames, the whole
working by reciprocating motion,
with but small power to lift the
tool, which afterwards precipitates
itself with its own power, increased
by its weight and velocity.
Each series of saws reduces at
one stroke a bundle of ten canes
into slices. These slices, falling
into disintesrator, running at
high speed, are reduced into fine
palp, which is pressed by means of
two small rollers. The whole of
the juice is thus forced ont of the
cells, and the woody matter is re-
moved in a dry state. The juice
thus extracted is mixed with lime
as each gallon is produced, and in
a proper proportion, as it runs to
continuous preparation, when it is
heated in few minutes to So de-
gees c., or 205 degrees Fab, bu;
never beyond this temperature.
During this time it is cleared OF all
the suspended matters. This is
effected by passing the juice over a
table constructed with series of
corrugations, forming a long con-
tinuous passage, the heat being APP
piled beneath the table. The sus-
pended matters settle by gravita-
ton and are deposited in pockets
placed at intervals along the route

The juice is now in favorable
state of lightness, fuidity and tenn
perature for. defective filtration il
Mr.. Bonnefin's capillary elastic I'll
ter. This filter consists of series
OF metallic rings, covered with In
dia rubber, the internal diameter
being twelve inches. The rings are
placed horizontally in a press, and
over each alternate ring is hung
a filter cloth made of pure unspun
cotton of finest fiber. The rings
and cloths are closely pressed and
held together by means of screws,
their number being governed by
the rate OF filtration required. Tie
strip is pumped into the press and
passes through the whole series Of
rings and cloths, the solid impure
ties being intercepted and retained
by that portion of the filter cloth
which covers the opening in the
ring, while the strip passes by cap
Hilary attraction through tie sur
rounding portions of the cloth, and
is delivered in perfectly pure and
clear condition at the outlet.
The purified juice, on leaving the
filter, is ready for treatment, either
in the ordinary way, by the vacuum
pan process, or by Mr.. Bonnefn's
evaporation and contractor. in which
the process of capitalization is
much more rapidly performed.
In the evaporation the juice is
quickly deprived Of its contained
water, while the concentration brings
it into the condition of sound sugar
in very short space of time. 1t is
claimed by Mr.. Bonnefn that by
his process all the operations, from
the moment tue cane is placed in
the pull ifactor to the time of the
crys.alI 3zation of the sugar, do not
occupy nore than one hour. This

POETS AND

The newspapers and other periodicals
of BostOn continue from time to time to
publish. strange articles deplOring what
they call the decline of high-clssS liter
Sry talent in America, as regards poe.
try and romance. But all their con-
illusions on the subject appear to be
drawn from the steady disappearance
by death Of the remarkable COterie of
New England poets and rOmancers
WHO have for y generation past repre-
sented our National literature TO 80
much advantage, both at home and
abroad. The natural effect of the very
high estimate placed upon those writers
has been not only to dwarf all others 10
al parts OF the country but also in
New England itself. So long rs these
distinguished writers lived and flourish
ed. Boston was able to claim with sue
cess the reputation Of being the Athens
of America. To this there would have
been no objection if the ecure possess
sion of such q prestige would have stim-
ulated the publishers and people OF BIS
ton to encourage rising talent ia the
same field. But, unfortunately, it did
not have that effect. The reputation
of the gr at lights of New England lit
erature not only discouraged the literary
ability of other parts of the country, but
has also operated in the same way ex-
sctly against the young poets and ro-
nsneers in New England itself. In
deed, it may be said in the same way
precisely the eXelusiveneSS Of Boston
with regard to oratory and statesman.
hip has for the past twenty five years
% completely driven away from New
England all her aspiring political talent,
that while all Ctler parts of the North
teem with irst-class orators and stat s.
men Of New England birth and educa-
ton, the Middle States themselves have
all along been very indifferently Sup
piled with the same class of talent.
In view of these considerations our
opinion is not that the country is def
cient in poets and romsncers, but that
