Paycmont or no paycmcnts, streets or
no streets, bonds or no bonds, are the
alternatives now uppcrmost in tho minds
OF Memphis citiz'us OF speculative turn.
Everybody IS agreed upon one proposition.
We need streets, and need them badly.
Thus lar the most closc-iisicd Of real cs-
tate owners arc willing to go; but when
the proposition b. carried TO further liu'iia,
aud the suggestion is made that il will

streets are found to be satisfactory for all

streets are found TO be satisfactory for all
purposes II they are kept dry.
No one who uses his eyes and possesses
q thinker" needs TO be told that the time
in which our streets are wrecked is during
the wet months Of the year. In Northern
cities great protection IL afforded against
the injury naturally incurred during the
wet season by the streets being frozen
much OF the time when they arc wet.
Here we have not that protection, and
when the foundation Of the pavement
whether it DO blocks OF stone OF OF wood,
becomes saturated with water, the heavy
winter traffic soon pounds the blocks down
and makes ruts. In the dry months this
does not and cannot happen.
The moral OF this is, keep the streets
dry; that is, build sheds over them and
mover let them get wet, and streets that
are paved with only thin layer Of Tisho-
mingo gravel will keep good forever II
will only be necessary to use scrapers occa-
sionally 10 keep up the grade and sprink-
lcrs 10 keep down the dust, and then for
either wet weather or hot sunny weather
We should have the plcasantest streets in
the world. ! need hardly suggest that the
roofs may be made in sections to hit dur
ing hot weather, and with skyilights TO let
IN light; nor need mention that II will be
cheaper TO cover the streets than 10 lay q
first class pavement.
Some will suggest that this is the idea OF
a crank. | console myself with the thought
that not many generations ago the world
thought the same OF man who first used
an umbrella, and mob followed at his
heels when lac yenturcd upon the streets
with one.
1t would he too much to expect that this
plan would DO adopted ut once for th,
whole city, but II is well worth an expert
mcnt, aud II an important thoroughmrt
were covered for block on Two 1t would
fully test the merit OF the plan.

THE ANTI-CoMMERcIAL PoLlCY.-The
Chicago platform proposes prohibitory
tariff. The object is to "check imports" :"
This is new programme, and it is of in
terest to consider what would happen to
our present exporting interests if imports
were successfully checked. The first result
would be to check exports. Our grain,
flour, lard, cheese, meat, lumber, &c.,
would cease to be bought in large quanti-
ties abroad, because little or nothing could
be sent us IN exchange. Commerce between
nations is barter. Money passes to and
and fro to very small extent. There is not
coin enough available to pay for our pro.
ducts in cash. To require payment in coin
would be in itself an effective restriction
upon our export trade. The producer ol
grain, cotton, tobacco, &C., could not fai
to suffer from being restricted to the home
market. Though helped by the foreign
market, the home market for such things i.
already glutted. What is wanted, then, i.
not more tariff restriction 'to check i'm
ports," but less of it, so that multitude o.
buyers of our products will appear.

Directions for Canning.

Glass jars with rubber bands under the
tops are best. 1t enables you to see at a
glance, at any time, how the fruit is keen
ing, and does not create poisonous COM
pounds, as fruit acids in tin jars are almost
sure to do.
Peaches, pears and apples drop into cold
water as they are pared and cut. This
makes them retain bright color, as the
acids are not colored by contact with the
oxygen of the air.
Cook all fruit very slowly. This pre-
serves its form.
Use only granulated or white sugar
Brown sugars are apt to color many kinds
of fruits.
Do not wash jars, vessels or hands with
soap while canning fruits. Use soda or
borax and dry in the sun before filing.
After filling the jars set them on straws
IN teapan Of water, and bring gradually
to boil on the top of the stove. As soon
as removed to the table screw down the
TOP TO exclude the air, and let the jars and
contents cool.
Keep the canned fruit in a cool, dark
closet, and label the kinds with date, fla
voring, &c.
Half gallon and gallon jars are most con-
venient, but few quart jars may be in
cluded, for holding fruit juices to be used
for flavoring.
Visit the fruit room daily for several
days after canning, to see If jars show
signs of fermentation or mould. Should
such appear, remove these and cook over
again.
Well-cooked fruit, in air-proof jars, will
keep easily, but no fruit will keep well in
jars that let in air.
1t is not necessary to close the jars in
hurry after removing them from the stove.
Give time to cool off little, and for the
gas to escape.
1t is not necessary to seal jars. Well
fitting rubber bands into which the edge of
the top will sink, will be air-tight.
Do not use too much sugar. Avoid
making the fruit too sweet. 1t is not sugar
that saves it, but freedom from air.

The Philadelphia Record exposes the
treachery of the men who clamor for high
protective tariff and express such an un-
dying love for the laboring man. 1t says
ga ship that comes to the wharf in Phila-
delphia loaded with pauper laborers can
disembark them without hindrance to COM
pete with American workingmen in what;
ever work they may find to do. But a
ship that comes loaded with wool, jute,
salt, sugar, lumber, ore, coal, or other raw
materials out of which food, clothing,
shelter, fuel and tools for workingmen
may be made, and the making of which
would give them additional employment,
is forced to pay a heavy tariff fine, aver
aging forty-five per cent. before the goods
can be used. What farce this protective
policy is that keeps out of the country the
cheap necessaries of life which the working
man needs, and lets into the country cheap
labor to contend with him in open market
for his daily bread %

Judge Thurman will show the Republicans
how much life and vigor he still possesses.
He will make a canvass, and one 'blast of
his bugle-horn is worth thousand men,"
1t is stated, on what is regarded reliable
authority, that ex-senator Thurman has def.
initely decided to make trip to the Pacific
coast during the campaign, and deliver ad-
dresses at number of prominent points.
He will also make few speeches in In

PARAPRRAsE FROM BERANGER.

Good heavens how beautiful and bright
Is she for whom I sigh!
Love lurKs within the liquid light
OF that dark dreaming eye.
Sweet airs of youth around her breathe,
And fiutter in her train;
Good heavens! how beautiful is she!
And ], SO old and plain!
Good heavens how beautiful is she;
AS fresh and fair as day
Dark as the night her shiny hair,
Her lip-a bud of May.
Yet all unconscious of her power,
Though hundreds sigh in vain;
Good heavens how beautiful is she!
And ], so old and plain
Coed heavens how beautiful is she
Can 1 her heart have won?
I. from whose cherries destiny
All hope and joy have flown.
Before her soft eyes smiled or me,
Love seemed a vision vair;
Good heavens how beautiful is she
And I, SO old and plain!
Good heavens how beautiful is she!
And yet she loves me now;
She brings the flowers of maiden grace
To deck the furrowed brow;
she'comes TO gild my every JOY,
To osoothe my every pain.

And SO old and plain!

ANOTHER PRoTEsT.-In the last issue of
the New York Evangelist, the Rev.
Theodore Cuyler, for thirty years pro-
nounced Republican, denounces the main
tenance of high war taxes in time of peace,
and especially the proposition to make
whisky free if necessary to reduce the rev.
enues, instead of reducing taxes on neces-
saries, and he implores the leaders of the
Republican party to take heed at once of
the growing discomfort among the inteili-
gent working classes with high taxes on
the necessaries of life.'' DR.. Cuyler goes
further and admonishes and warns the
high.tax leaders that if they fail to revise
their attitude before the nation, they will
be met by ga political Cyclone that will
gather volume as the season rolls on"

VIRGINIA's EXPERIMENTAL STATION
A committee of professors and directors of
the Virginia Agricultural College, at Blacks
burg, have gone North for the purpose OF
purchasing an outfit for the experimental
station to be located there. They will go
to New York and Massachusetts, extend
their trip up into Canada, and coming back,
visit the Michigan and other agricultural
colleges. Then, having examined the best
work of the most successful institutions
similar to B!acksburg, will give the benefit
of their most careful observations to the
Virginia college.
