The Argonant.
A Frencbman will take roast of
beef, or in fact any solid meat, and
subject it to long though gradual
action Of heat, so that,all the tibrous
parts would be thoroughly cooked.
That would leave but little work for
the digestive organs to perform. An
English cook, on the other hand,
would build roaring fire and would
roast the beef only on the outside,
leaving the inside rare, He allows
only little time for broiling or roast
ing, because his theory is that any
other process destroys the genuine
flavor Of the meat.
The point of favor is the one on
which the two cooks split and there
fore their PHILOSOPHERS run wide apart.
"No favor can be invented" ," says the
Englishman, "which can approach
that of meat. The flavor of meat
must not be meddled With. Whcth-
er the dish is to be beef, or lamb or
mutton, that process is best which can
keep the flavor OF each meat distin-
guishable above any sauce or eondi-
ment that may accompany IT." Moth
ing, in the Englishman's notion, can
equal the flavor of the Juice oozing
from a nicely roasted joint or rib
when sliced. The Frenchman can
make an endless variety of havors
from the same meat, in neither of
which will that of the original meat
be recognized, That idea, enlarged
upon, makes the difference between
the two methods of cooking,

letter from sugartown.
SUGARTowN, Oct. Is, 1886.


Editor Lake Charles Echo:
Nothing very startling in the way
of news has transpired in this part Of
CaIcasieu of late. Everything and
everybody seems to be moving on
about as usual. A great amount Of
sickness has prevailed of late, more
than is common for this section at this
time of year. But yet it has not been
very fatal, only few deaths have oc-
Cured.
Crops are short again this season.
Owing to storms and severe winds the
corn crop was cut short about one-half,
and on account of drouth later in the
season the cotton crop was cut short
at least third. Other small crops,
such as sweet potatoes, cane and rice
are very good.
I'D. L. H." will have to encourage
emigration to this section for awhile
before he will have the required num-
ber of population in the part to be cut
off for a new parish. A new parish
would be very desirable but we will
have to grow to it. If emigrants from
the North can settle near Jennings on
the poorest spot of land in Calcasieu
parish, and prosper and be content, |
do not see why like colony would
not do much better in this section,
where the lands are far superior and
where timber, wood and water are
abundant, and of the very best quality.
But we lack what emigrants like to
follow and locate near, and that is a
railroad. But we may expect i road
through here in the near future. So
valuable a country, having such vast
undeveloped resources, cannot lie un-
noticed always.
1t seems the Hon. Mr.. Gay is again
the Democratic nominee for Represen-
tative to Congress. We have not yet
seen how he defined his position on the
tariff question. While we expect to
vote for him, as he is the nominee, we
could do so with a clearer conscience
if we knew he was entirely opposed to
the present high protective tariff, the
most unjust tax that was ever imposed
on free people. A tax that is fast
accumulating all the wealth of the
land into the hands of comparatively
few individuals at the expense of the
laboring classes. 1t is right and
proper that all should bear their pro-
portional burden for the maintenance
of the Government economically ad-
but when revenue is col
lected from the people for more than
that, in order that one class of citizens
may live at the expense of another,
then. it is nothing more than robbery.
Against all such we protest.
TACITUs.

THERE is Que cause of the deprss-
sion in our industrial prosperity, or to
put il little more accurately, there is
one reason for the general discomfort
of workingmen and other people in
this country and that is the enormous
and continuous foreign emigration,
The Chicago Tribune very pertinently
says, "that so long as Europe contin-
ues to pour its cheap laborers over
here by hundreds of thousands and
millions it will be impossible for the
employers whom they (the anarchists)
curse so literally to find work enough
for the multitudes or a market for their
products even If they could get work.
The employers are swamped by fresh
floods of laborers, and then held up as
enemies of mankind because they can
not in hard times furnish them all
plenty of eight-hour work at big
wages"

CURE FOR Plies,

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight In the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient TO suppose
he has some affection Of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs, At times, symptoms Of iadi-
gesti0n are present, hatulencY, uneasiness Of
the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira-
tion, producing very dlsagreeahle itching,
after getting warm, Is a common attendant.

The N. o, Picayuae exults in. the
discovery and the awakening among
our agriculturists of their appreciation
of the superiority and profitableness
of the grass and hay culture of the
South, quoting an article from the
Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner, which
administers the following just rebuke
to the merchants and dealers in agri-
cultural products of New Orleans ::
"The Produce Exchange of New Or
leans had better wake up to the fact
that Mississippi and Louisiana are not
only coming rapidly to the front as
grass-growing and hay-making States,
but in the near future will be heavy
hay-shipping States, and bestir itself
in arranging to handle the crop for
ocean shipment. Whenever it is un-
derstood that New Orleans will not
afford market or facilities to reach
market for this great staple that prom
ises to rival cotton in value and out
strip it in profits, its producers will
look to Chicago, Baltimore, New York
and other great Western and Eastern
centres for encouragement and aid,
and trade that can add enormously
to New Orleans commerce be lost to
her forever"

Wants to Know, Won Know.
PHILLIPs' BLUFF, Sept. 30, 's6.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:

We, the undersigned citizens of
Ward l, were few days ago placed
under bond, which fact was noticed
and published in your paper, which
would naturally lead people, who do
not know us, to think we we're not
law-abiding citizens. Only few days
afterward Mr.. Martin Doucet was
placed under bond for an offense com
mitted at the same time and place that
the alleged offense under which we
we're arrested was committed, and you
did not note the fact in your paper.
We wish to ask If you wish our names
to go prejudiced to the public and
that of Mr.. Martin Doucet screened.
These cases are to be investigated
next November by the court of our
District, and we deem it at least un-
courteous, if not unjust, to make
exceptions. Respectfully,
ALEXANDER MARcoNTEL,
HYPoLiTE SAvANF.
On August 2Sth, under the head of
"Court House Dots" we published the
following, which seems to be the fun
courteous" paragraph referred to by
Messrs. Marcontel and Savant:
Affidavits were also made before
Judge Kleinpeter last Friday against
Hypoite Savant, Glide Savant and
Alex. Marcontel, of the Phillips Bluff
neighborhood, charging them with as
sault with dangerous weapon. Hypo-
lite Savant and Alex. Marcontel were
arrested, brought before the court and
released on a bond of 500 each.
Glide Savant, being too sick to travel,
was not arrested.
Now if the above contains anything
that could be construed as showing a
disposition on the part of the ECHo to
bo "uujust" in the matter, or to screen
Mr.. Doucet, who was not known to US
as being a party to the fracas, we fail
to see it in that light. 1t is by no
means the mission of the Echo to pre-
judice the public mind in any matter
or against any one, but it must be
generally understood that it is hard
matter for newspaper to please all,
much less "catch on" to every item of
news which is floating around the
country.

zErrE: Your correspondent from this
place in to-day's paper failed ~ report
the proceedings Of the Democratic club
in full. Toward, the last one Of those
who had been so prominent in denouncing
jackson, made motion to take 4 vote OF
the house and see whether or not a club
should be organized, when one Of the
legal gentlemen got up and opposed 1t on
the grounds that the alliance aud knights
were 10 the majority and would vote 10
have no club. A member Of both orders
got up and asked II it was Democratic to
organize a club against the wishes OF the
majority, as he understood II took ma
iority rule to be democratic. Mr.. Alex
ander, the railroad attorney from Waco,
denounced the leaders OF both the ALI
ance and Knights of Labor as tramps and
cranks who were trying to deceive the
people. All we want is a true report and
we believe THE GAZETTE wants the

MICHIGAN Democrats say their state Is
