Mr.. G.. L. Record, of Vicksburg,
writes US as follows in regard to the
Black Locust tree, that is found in
SO many parts Of our State:
81 have been using it for forty-six
years and find it the hardest timber,
lignum vitae excepted, with which |
am acquainted. 1t will take a higher
polish and receive a clearer surface
than any other, and is not succepti-
BILE to indentation by blows. The
use to which have chiefly put this
wood is for capstan drums, and have
run FIVE inch lines on them with
heavy strains, and they have become
as bright as mirrors but showed nc
sign of wear or abrasion.
"There is singularity about thi:
tree: 1t flowers very early in the
spring, loading the air with its fra

broadcast by the winds over all the

Counting the Votes.

1t would seem that with the great
controversy Of 1875 still fresh in mind,
and with another Presidential cleo
ton fast approaching Congress should
at once devote itself to comprehen-
sive measure governing the electoral
count. The lesson of that perilous
conflict eight years ago, when the
nation narrowly escaped being plung-
ed into the abyss of dissolution and
anarchy, ought no longer to go I'M
needed. 1t is now especially incum-
bent on Congress, in view of the pos
sibility of a close election next No
veanber, to take up this subject and
at least make an attempt to provide
fixed and definite method of count
ing the votes Of electors for Presi-
dent and Vice President, and declar-
ing the result. There are obstacles
in the way, no doubt-grave differ
ences of opinion between the two
Houses as now constituted, as we'll as
inherent difficulties which may not
easily be removed. But the question
is one of vital importance, demand
ing prompt and impartial considera-
ton. No branch of the Government
or officer of the Government is au-
thorized by the Constitution to deter.
nine who has been elected President
The Constitution simply says the
votes shall be counted. No authority
is left with the President of the Sen
ate, the House, or any two or all o.
these bodies, to decide upon the le'

All efforts made in the past to pro
vide against exigenoies have beer

was rejected. Martin Van Buren, also
endeavored to secure the passage o
a bill on this subject, but it wen
through one branch of Congress only

the electoral contest Of 1867, the
question of a remedy has been dis
cussed more or less at every session
without reaching any solution. A
bill of some sort is now pending
Whatever its provisions are, it shoult
be taken up, perfected as far as pos
sible and passed. The slightes

Wiz. Kelly OfNew York.

The friends of Congressman
Flower and Governor Cleveland in
New York, knowing that Mr.. Tilden
would not be candidate for the
Presidential nomination, have been
actively at work for several weeks
past. 1t is reported that Flowers
workers have been the most success
full and that the fragrant Congress-
man has nearly four times as many
delegates to the State Convention as
Gov Cleveland. Cleveland is "free
trader" and Flower is ''protec-
tionist,' and their relative strength
will probably indicate the sentiment
of the New York Democrats. That
eminent stateman, and politician, Mr..
John Kelley, is said to be unquali-
fiedly opposed to Cleveland, and not
over partial to Flower We do not
blame Mr.. Kelly. The only qualifi
cations possessed by these aspirants
for the Presidency is the fact that
they live in the State of New York.
We do not desire to see the candi-
date for President taken from New
York this time, but if the party is
bent upon taking New York man.
we suggest the Hon, John Kelly
himself as the best man for the place
among the eminent Democrats OF
that State. Mr.. Kelly is man OF
extraordinary ability, and the way
he would manage canvass woulc
be caution to the Blaine "b'ys.

Recipe for Preserving Fruits
and Vegetables,

The following recipe, furnished to
us by Hon. A. J. McWhirter, Com
missioner Of Agriculture and Statis-
tics of the State of Tennessee, will be
of great interest to our gardeners and
fruit growers at this season Of the
year:
For strawberries, raspbefries, black
berries, currents, gooseberries, plums
and cherries, when thoroughly ripe,
use proof alcohol. For peaches, APP
pies and pears, and plums, cherries,
currents and gooseberries, when not
thoroughly ripe, use one part water
and two parts alcohol, After the fruit
stands in the alcohol three or four
days, pour off and add fresh alcohol
as above directed until all the color.
ing matter has been extracted, then
put the specimens for permanent use
in one part water and one part slco-
hol-Alcohol once used and discolor-
ed can be filtered and used on Other
fruit and vegetables, or for permanent
specimens.
N. B.-The proportion for peaches
apples and pears will answer for all
kinds of vegetables.

Tn the absence Of any thorough in
vestigation of our mineral resources
much might be done by individuals
in different sections Of the State by
the collection and exhibition at the
Exposition in New Orleans, of every
remarkable mineral specimen with
which they may come in contact
The soils, the clays, the sands, the
rock formations of all kinds would, if
brought together give the best idea
of the variety of our soil, and the
best indications Of what minerals are
to be found III the State. An aggre-
cation of these individual specimens
would make a collection that would
be viewed with interest by those who
are looking for new fields OF enter
prise in the South, and would show
as a map the capabilities of the State.

the exploration Of her geological de-
posits. They are making explora

The Great Exposition


Meridian Mercury and Observer.
The Exposition at New Orleans
bids fair to be a prodigious affair,
and great success for New Orleans
We trust that it may also benefit the
South by attracting attention to the
unbounded latent resources of our
section and drawing to it population
and capital. Mississippi should tax
all her powers in order to be we'll
represented, in products, minerals
and timber or any other material;
and every private citizen should feel
sufficient State pride to lead him TO
second the efforts of the State Cum
missioner to have the State properly
represented. In fact, this is the
only mode by which the State of
Mississippi can be thoroughly and
creditably represented,and our State
pride would lead us to prefer not to
be represented at all rather than to
be so poorly represented as to cast
ridicule upon the State. "What is
worth doing is worth doing well, u
holds true in this matter.

Charlie Wright's Revenge.

The delegates from the State at
large to the National Democratic
Convention, were selected by ballot
in the State Democratic Convention.
The editor of the COMMERCIAL HERALD
entertained the opinion that the lead
ing Democrats who had been hopored
often before, would not be pressing
candidates for the position, and that
the party for which ha has done SO
much and whose principles he high
ly prizes, would honor him with one
Of the places. The convention after
hot and good natured contest, Sc
lected four other gentlemen in every
way qualified to represent the party
in the National Convention, and
complimented the defeated aspirants
by making them alternates. We had
to enter the race against the most
popular Democrats in the State, and
there was surplus of candidates
from this section of the State, and
we made a splendid race, as the
figures of the first ballot which are
printed in another column, will show,
but we do not relish the defeat, and
We intend to have our revenge We
intend to make the party, leaders
and all, keenly feel the outcome, by
doing more and better work for the
party tban any other man in the
State, during the Presidential CAM

At meeting of the "Women's Ex-
position Association of Adams couE-
ty," a short time ago,ope of the ladies
stated that she had specimens of
American porcelain which had been
in the possession of her family since
1928. This excited an inquiry as to
the date at which the manufacture Of
porcelain had been introduced into
the United States. The investigating
mind of woman, when turned in any
particular direction or to any particu-
lar subject, is sure to probe it to the
bottom, and never rests until the
truth is found.
From the researches Of an intel
lectual lady of this county we are
able to state that although small
manufactures Of the commoner kinds
Of pottery were established in the
United States at an early period in
our history, probably the first effort
to produce the finer qualities of por-
celain was made at the Jersey City
potteries in 1916. A few years later
an establishment Of similar charac.
ter was started in Philadelphia, but
the cheapness of foreign porcelain
was such that the Philadelphia works
were closed in 1885:
There are now many porcelain
manufactures in the United States, in
some of which ware of fine charac'
ter is produced. There is one in
New Orleans which is, we think,
very successful. Clays that can be
used in the manufacture OF the tinel
qualities of porcelain can be found il
several portions of the South. We
have ourselves seen specimens O
kaolin from Mississippi which com
pare favorably in appearance at least
with the celebrated .kaolin from Limo
ges, in France. The industry is al
important one, and we hope to set
within a short time its development
in our own State.
We are inclined to think few spe
cimens of American porcelain will b'
found to ante-date that in the pos
session of our Adams county lad,
friends, and we hope she will test it
claim to antiquity by exhibiting it a
the exposition. There have Away
been In this country and in Europ
enthusiastic collectors of old china
and we hope to see something OF in
terest in that line from Adams county
