THE PLATFORM GEN. OGDEN HAS
CONSTRUCTED.

form. The Democratic party of Louis
lana is expected to stand upon Gen.
Ogden's platform. We publish it.
Whether it is our fault. or Gen. Ogden's,
we totally disagree about what ought
to be the platform of candidate for
Governor. We differ, without doubt,
as to any individual announcing him
self as candidate for Governor of any
State, since Gov. Ogden has 50 an
nonnced himself, and we would not.
There may be some question as to orr
fitness, respectively, to decide upon this
point, and about that the music be.
gins, and not in slow time.
Gov. Ogden has the Governors bee
in his bonnet.
"l gave my humble services to the
overthrow of Radicalism in this State"
says Gen. Ogden, "because / knew the
system to be full of ruin to our people,
Nobody doubted that
-"And l again Surrender myself to
my friends to be used ia aXpeiing
from the Democratic ranks a system
of politics inculcated by Republicans,
and which can only continue us in mi
fortune and disg race"
1t would seem that the people of
Louisiana are dependent upon Gen.
Ogden's surrender. Speaking to The
General as soldier, we should say to
him to surrender, never! One surren~
der is ample.
But Gen. Ogden surrenders, for what?
BY the terms of his cspitulation, to
Howard's Louisiana Lottery The re
does not appear to be amy enemy in
the field but Howard'S l. ,uisana Lot
terry.
There is more than the question of
lotteries upon which Gen. Odgen ap-
pears TO be shaky), interesting the
thinking people of this State. In no
profane sense, we ask what the
Devil is to become of public education
when Gen. Ogden becomes Governor,
taking this sentence from his letter as
an example for the children?
l have acted out my sentiments, even
when so doing, at times seemingly
threatened, deeply to my sorrow and
and regret, to weaken lies which were
are now manifold dear to me, and
which were hallowed by the sorrows
and blood and death of loved com.
paniODs.
1t is well known that the public
school system in Louisiana is a
humbug.
But education aside (as it well may
be, just here), what shal! we do about
the Democratic party? Gen. Ogden
does not say. His organ, the Picayune,
refuses absolutely to own its allegiance
to tine Democratic party. Be the
reason what it. may, there is wide
difference between intelligent white
rule and the lapse to negro barbarism.
We quote, with approval, what Mr..
Garland, of St. Landry says:
.Let me urge upon the Democrats OF
Calcasieu to deputize, as their repre-.
resentatives to this convention, dele.
gates who will first cling to their party,
and who will meet select the best men
Of the party as the candidates"
There can be no doubt about the
meaning of Mr.. Garland's language.
1t was not necessary to speak of rings,
monopolies Or lotteries.

NEW YORK, Nov. I2.-Steamship
Tallahassee, of the Ocean Steamship
Company, Of Savannah, sailed from
that port Friday with 5000 bales cotton
and quantity of turpentine and rosin
on board. She had crew of AZ men
and 13 passengers when off highland.
AT 9:45 O'Clock last evening she was
discovered to be on fire. Capt. Fisher
ordered the engineer to run her at full
speed. This was done, and the burn
ing steamer arrived at pier 35, North
river, this city, at 10 o'clock last night.
The process of docking her took an
hour, and by that time fire engines
were on the pier and fire steamer were
beside her, and passengers were land
ed, and the firemen went to work and
at an early hour this morning the fire
was still burning among the cotton
but did not spread aft where the tur-
pentine and rosin was. The loss viii

New YORK, Nov. 12.--F'ire on stea-
mer Tallahassee was not put out until
daylight this morning, when the lower
hole was pumped full of water. It did
not reach the upper deck, as was
feared. The fire was confined to cotton,
bu, portion OF the cargo, on upper
deck was damaged by water, rosin
freight suffered but little. The estimate
of damage inflicted is ten per cent of
the value Of cargo, or 10000 dollars.
Three Thousand bales of cotton alone
are valued at 175,000 dollars and the
rest Of cargo, at not less than $4,000
dollars. The steamer is hardly DANA
ged at all and can be repaired for less
than $500. The fire will only delay
the steamers departure tomorrow.
Losses borne by private parties are

High Farming.

High farming is that system of man
agement that concentrates the capital
and energies on a small place instead of
distributing the means over large sur
faces. Ii less land be cultivated it can
be kept up to high degree of fertility,
for the crop not only finds all that is
needed for growth and maturity. but
leaves a balance on hand in the shape
of surplus plant food in the soil. The
same amount of manure or fertilizer,
when spread over broad areas. NAV give
partial growth to large number of
plants, but it may be insufficient to
complete them to that point at which
the harvest is the test of success. A
profit is possible from well-tilled
space. but it is only attained under
many adverse conditions when such
space is large The labor of tillage
is reduced. for fewer animals are re-
quired to do the work, and less farm
help is needed. The time lost in dis
lance of transportation from the field to
the barn is saved, and. above all, each
succeeding year finds the soil in better
condition, and susceptible of greater
production.
On farms that are well TILED the stock
receives the attention so necessary for
the promotion of fat. growth, milk and
labor, and every pound of manure is
fully sa ed. prepared. and made tit for
available service. The tools and other
implements of labor are kept up to
certain standard. and everything is
worked with system that allows Of no
waste of material. time or labor The
crops are of a character that bring in
the greatest profit, and the land is not
robbed by grass and weeds. as the space,
being limited, admits of the frequent
use OF not only the harrow and cult
vator. but the hoe as well, and often the
SPADE. 1t is the thoroughness OF the
cultivation that gives Me profit i'll farm
ing, and not the number of acres. The

Grating is not a monopoly Of gifted
minds. or an art that can only be &C
quired by the few. With the ordinary
amol ut OF "gumption" to begin with,
followed by careful teaching for only a
short time, almost any one can graft
successfully. Grating is simply plant
ing cutting of one variety in tho wood
OF another. instead of in the soil II, is
essential that the growing layer of the
scion and stock come in close contact,
and be so held until they grow together.
Now is the time to get the scions. They
may be bought at most nurseries, and
great care should be taken. to oct only
the best varieties. If cut at home, be
e. ually careful to get them Of the right
kind. cutting only twigs of last season S
growth. A fine saw, two good knives.
one strong and heavy, the other smaller,
with keen edge; a hardwood wedge,
six inches long and half an inch thick
and small mallet are the implel ents
used in grating. The wax may be
easily made by melting together, bees
wax six ounces, resin and tallow four
ounces each, over q moderate fire, STIR
ring gradually until all is melted Rolls
of waxed cloth may be formed of old
cotton stuff made thin by wear. and
torn into strips two inches wide. Wind
the strips upon stick and dip them
into the melted wax; when the cloth is
thoroughly penetrated by the wax, re-
move. let drip. and put away from dust
until ready for use.
Graft'ng should be done as soon as
the buds begin to swell. Having deter
mined upon the place for the graft, saw
off the branch, smooth the cut surface
and make cleft with the knife and
mallet. Cut the scion from the twig,
leaving two or three buds upon the
piece, and sharpen the lower end into a
wedge; Open the cleft with the knife
and hace the scion carefully, so hat
the lower bud comes at the top of the
cleft. The inner ba k, or growing LAYER
of the scion and the stock should touch
as much as possible. If the grated
branch is small, sing scion is
enough; otherwise, put in one on each
side. UnrOll enough wa ed cloth to
cover the wound OF both stocks and
sciOns, and press it on carefully and
closely. The quick application OF this
protection is only a matter of practice.
1t is we'll for beginners to start with
worthless limbs before doing regular
grating in the orchard. If possible,
ind some one in the neighborhood IA
miliar with the process and learn the
art from him. The genera principles
may be obtained from printed direc-
tons, but the success of the work will
depend upon the knack, and that is
only acquired in the orchard. - Caiccgo

skin diseases are produced b. impure
soaps. and that infectious diseases are
sometimes generated through them
Upon rejection the possibility and
probability OF all this are easily appar-
rent. Even in home made soap care
should be observed to keep the grease
clean and sweet. This can be done bv
the frequent rendering of it. by at once
putting it in strong I've. 1t is perfectly
obvious that what is used to wash the
hands, particularly, which are often cut
or otherwise injured, should be free
from all poisonous substances. lfthere
can be enough of home made soap to
supply the needs Of the house, it should
be a cause for thanksgiving. But if
one has to buy soap, there are room
and reason for the \ercise of discretion.
For DISTINGUISHING and cleaning pots and
pans use washing soda. 1t is cutie as
cheap and greatly to be preferred.
For the toilet choose soap made from
oil. 1t costs more, but. like every
other best thing, it is cheapest in the
end. Palm-oil soap is fully as nice as
that made from olive oil, and I, for
one. like it better. Genuine CASTLE soap
is made from olive oil and soda, and I
have been assured that even for laun-
dry purposes the CASTLE soap is as
economical as the ordinary hard soap
sold for that purpose. Carbo!ic soap

and wounds of all sorts; but much that
is sold for good soap is nothing of the

l am going to tell you happened to me.
1t was a wild and stormy night, and

of town, the set of loafers which usually
collected about the stove in the waiting
room had eventually concluded to seek

evening in. and, for wonder, | was

lonesOmest spots that could have been

moaning in the pines close by, and every
