Polk Talbert's Letter.

In the Summit Sentinel of last
week our friend Polk Talbert has
an open letter to the editor of the
Southern Herald and others, in
which he takes us to task for the
publications in regard to Col.
Stockdalc, and seems to place our
opposition solely on the ground of
these reports. We are in favor of
Van Eaton, but at the same time
we expect to deal fairly by both
the leading candidates. We have
given publicity to the charges
against Col. Stockdale, and have
published what he and his friends
have said in regard to the same,
and have given publicity to the
charges against Van Eaton made
by Capt. Noland. The writer asks
if we, in connection with the Re-
publican and Van Eaton, have done
as much for the party as Stock
dale2 In answer we will say that
we have done what we could, hop
ing and expecting no reward but
the consciousness of having done
our duty to the party. The writer of
the letter referred to gets out of the
present campaign for the nomina-
tion of a candidate for Congress and
refers to the fact of our supporting
Mclean for the office of Circuit
Clerk of Amite county. He makes
long stride to get from the Con-
gressional contest of to-day back
to the election of clerk last year,
which was not for a political office,
and did not hinge on the political
creeds Of candidates, but upon 9TH
er questions, of which none are
better acquainted than our friend
Polk. We agree with him in his
desire for an able Representative
in Congress, and for that reason
support Van Eaton, who has been
tried and not found wanting. We
believe it is generally conceded
thathe has made good Represent
ative, and unless we can do better
we see no reason for change.

From the best information we
can gather,t the contest for Congress
In this district stands as follows:
For VanEaton, Greene and Will

Amite, Pike and Covington, s.
For Seal, Hancock, 2. For Carter,
Perry, 2. Uninstructed, Jackson,
Harrison, Jones, Marion and Law
renee, 10. Adams, with four votes,
yet to hold convention. Thirteen
counties in the distsict, casting
thirty two votes.
The charges made against Van
Eaton by Capt. holland in Wilkin-
son, are in substance about as fol-
lows:
That he walked and talked with
Radical leaders in Wilkinson, and
whatever of social responsibility
and standing they had they owe to
him, and he was therefore regard
ed as s'fishy."
That Van Eaton voted for Radi-
Gals while Democratic candidates
we're in the field.
That the Judge exercised himself
in aiding Radical county officials
electto make up their bonds, when
a failure in this respect would have
placed the county offices in the
hands of the Democrats.
That in debate in 1882, in Wood
vile, Lynch said, "And here is
Judge Van Eaton, the Democr tic

What He Now Is.

Early yesterday morning man in
sensible from drink and cold was found
lying at the foot of pair of stairs lead
ing to Clark street basement He was
brought before Justice Kersten at the
morning session of the court. His
clothes were ragged and filthy, his face
bloated and SCARED. He was the picture
of one wrecked in mind and body by
liquor. Five years ago this man, known
as James Kern, is said to have been a
prosperous commission merchant. His
income was ten thousand dollars year.
He loafed in fashionable club, prayed
in fashionable church, and was prom
inent in all social matters. At last,
however, he was overthrown by his
love for drink. His business went to
the dogs, his friends forsook him, and
the last scene occurred yesterday when
he was arraigned as a confirmed drunk
ard and vagabond. Justice Kersten,
who had known Kern in his better days,
continued the case until to-day with a
view of ascertaining if something could
not yet be done to reclaim the outcast.

Directions for the Construction of High
Iy Satisfactory Garden Walk.
The London Garden, speaking Of
these walks as we'll adapted to the
kitchen garden. says that it is an error
to suppose that they may be made by
simply pouring tar over stones. cinders
and coarse sand, and then gives the fol-
lowing directions, and states that walks
thus made will be very durable, clean
and perfectly free from odor or liability
to soften in the hottest weather; a coat
of tar, put on with a brush, being re-
quired in few years:
First, the foundation must be per-
fectly solid, and constructed of hard
and durable material, three inches in
thickness of the tar paving being am
pie for all purposes; the stones used
should be perfectly free from Dirt and
of hard, angular character, in order
that they may wear we'll and keep firm
ly together. The stones must be burnt
in large heaps like ordinary clay
ballast, sifted while they are
very hot, and mixed with
tar that has been heated until the whole
is thoroughly saturated. This process is
the secret of making tar-paving. II
mixed when the stones are too hot. the
tar is burnt; if when too cold, the sat
uration is imperfect 1t requires some
experience to know the exact heat nee
essary for successful mixing. These
paths should always be edged with the
durable material, never live edgings, al.
though, if desired, such may be planted
outside the edging. The tile or brick
edging serves to prevent the crumbling
away of the paving. Take care in lay
ing the paving that it is rolled until nc
interstices are left; the ordinary iror
garden roller is of no use for the pur'
pose. A heavy one of solid stone Il
needed for consolidating all properly
The material should be laid in two coats
one coarser than the other. As to ths
surface, crushed spar or shells and SHARP
sand may be used; ] prefer the she'll
which may also be sprinkled on the patt

track to get little fresh air, when

man closed his eyes as though to shut

FEEDING FOR EGGS.
Why Hens should he Supplied with Egg
Forming Food.

An egg is composed of all the ele.
ments that sustain life, and unless the
hens are supplied with the materials
necessary for the formation of eggs,
they can no more lay than can the COWS
give a large supply of milk on in
sufficient food. Not only is the car
oonaceous material required for the
yolk, but the nitrogenous matter COM
posing the white of the egg is essen
tial. Then there are the mineral ele-
ments to be supplied Wi a large guam
tity of water. The matter of supplying
plenty of water in winter is often over
looked. and yet there can be no eggs
laid until the hens have received the
water necessary for then purpose.
Hence, too much care can not be exer.
cised in winter, when the water easily
freezes, in devising some method for
affording it to them. Many persons
adopt the plan of watering the hens
three times a day, giving it slightly
warmed, when it becomes an excel
lent invigorator and stimulant. In
feeding, not only should variety be
allowed, but the hens should have
gravel, pounded shells and plenty of dry
earth or coal ashes for dust bath A
liberal supply of corn will furnish the
material for the yolk, but it will not
supply the requisite matter fer the
formation of the albumen. The proper
feed for that purpose is meat, milk, o
linseed meal, although wheat and oats
partially assist. The lime does not
come from the oyster shells entirely,
but also from the grains. All foods con-
tain proportion of lime, and in those
sections where the water is hard, por.
ton is derived through that source.
Green food, such as cabbage and onions,
are correctives, and are used as a
dietary regulation, and the best method
of feeding, therefore, Is to so manage as
to give the hens a variety of food, leav.
ing them to select such as they prefer,
as the natural instinct of the fowls will
guide them in preferring that most suit
able for them. Farm, Fieid and Stock
