who have done honor to Louisiana, thoss
who have attained eminence in either a
military OF q civil career, in literature, in

There also should be all books which
have emsnated from the PEN of Louis-
ianians-their idusical compositions. and
tbs paintings produced by their genius

and forgotten amid tho time-stainod docu-
ments in the possession Of our Creole
families. All antique ~reliques interesting
from their peculiarly, rarity or extreme
age.
This Exhibit also calls for all paintings

White. Keep Of Cabtages.

Cabbages may be kept by any
mode which nearly excludes the
frost, preserves a cool temperature
and o eight degree Of moisture. A
pile resting on the earth woald keep
better than if resting On a floor, and
require less protection. /. wcu'd
be likely thus to receive a propef &c
gree Of moisture. It would not be
necessary to have walls Of hay six
feet thick. A common way to keep
cabbages by the quantity is to i,ave
them ont 10 the ground until TEA
tho end of November, and then rali
and place them inverted on smooth
ground. packed closely together in
beds Ave or six feet wide, with six
feet space between. They may be
thus lsf, for q week or two, o. till
the ground 10 abop: to freeze, when
the earth between the rows 10 dug or
placed a. covering on the inver,ed
heads, about Elk inches thick. the
tips Of the roots projecting above.
With less labor, the epaces may be
plowed and narrowed until the earth
is fine and mellow before it is placed
on the tabbages, the pillow throwing
the earth nearest to them upon the
heads. With this treatment, the
work must oe done earlier than by
hand in order to have the soil in
right condition, and it is always
best to cover them as late as prac.
ticable: It. is important that the
ground has very thorough drainage.
Joseph Harris regards it as of great
importance 10 plcw the earth many
times, and making it mellow two
feet deep in forming a trench or hol.
low to place them in, and then the
mellow earth is thrown againet the
heads With l,low. The frost can not
penetrate the mellow eartl-in only
crusts it. Il the work is done before
very coot weather sets in the central
part Of the row may be left nearly
uncovered, and when freezing com
mences, the whole covered with the
mellow soik For early winter use,
cabbages may be stored in cold eel

moss; or they may be set in their

the last day Of November, they
would hold abe control of the mar.
kets in their own hande, and would
have leisure for other work, now

clover, and grass seeds may still be
sown. If sweet potatoes were not
housed last month, do not delay later
than the fifteenth. Gather during
dry weather, and do not leave the
tubers exposed to tho suu. Some
use houses, differing in their con.
structiou. The surest, though most
tedious plan, is to store in pumps.
Select Q dry knoll or ridge; give
each pump about four feet Of base,
and build the potatoes up az high as
possible; at every four feet in the

MIR. EnMIfNns In LICK.

The telegraph announces this morning,
with delightful indeiinteness, that "Sen-
ator Edmunds has been Unexpectedly
called to testify on points in American law
before the British House of Lords" There
is such cheerful lack of details about
this information that we are constrained
to believe the Associated Press has
"scooped' the Vermont Senator.
1t is immaterial, of course, who "called"
Senator Edmunds. 1t seems sufficient to
know that he has been unexpectedly
called" and the American public will at
once appreciate the dangers that now sur
round the Jackpot. If the amiable Scna-
tor has been bluillng his English cousins
all this time, and if instead of holding q
full legal hand he has simply been warm
ing pair of small trays there will be
much trouble on the old gentleman's
mind.
But we are glad the Senator has de.
cided to give the British House of Lords
q few points on American law, although
there are grave doubts whether the Lords
will understand the combination when
they get it. Legal book-maliing in this
country is so abstrusc that an Englishman
would find 1t safer to shut his eyes and
take the field against the favorite every
time. Americans themselves have settled
down to this rule, because they have
learned that the favorite rarely wins.
And when Senator Edmunds gets
warmed up to his "tips, we hope he will
not neglect to explain how it is that when
one is unexpectedly called" he proceeds
to "show down" without explanation. 1t
would be interesting to know about these
things, but of course Senator Edmunds is
entitled to maintain silence at any cost.
But if it should transpire that the "uneX-
pected call' is merely a ruse to entrap our
venerable Senator into the premiership Of
England there will be a war of great mag
nitude. The treaty stipulations of 1852 do
not provide for unexpected calls" and
the House of Lords is likely to be ruled
out on foul. They are not acquainted
with the insdious jackpot of American
law and American politics, and if exceed
ing great care is not exercised they may
find themselves holding the business end
of n wnsp
