A Wall From Mississippi.

New ORLEANS, Oct. ia Times,
Democratic, Jackson, Miss, special says.
The Republican state executive commit.
tee met here to day to consider the with
drawal of Gen. Chalmers from the head
of the state ticket. The committee has
issued the following:
AS Republicans of Mississippi we are
compelled to withdraw our state ticket.
We know our votes would be stolen aud
our voters driven from the polls, but we
hoped that In larger towns and cities, at
least. the semblance of free speech might
still remain to us. But our candidates
are not safely allowed to discuss or pro-
test. We desired especially to go before
the whole people of the state and chal-
lenge the Democrats to a comparison of
principles and records. When the armed
revolution of 1875 wrested the state from
us Mississippi was the only southern state
unburdened with a state department. She
has a Democratic one to day.
Mississippi is governed by a minority
OF despotism, and we appeal to our coun
try for redress. The constitution that is
adopted is the only one in the South so
satisfactory that it has not been changed.
Our laws stand substantially unchanged
and u~nrepealed, but we are Republicans
and this is our offence. For fourteen
years, ever since the infamous Mississippi
plan was adopted, our path has been
marked by the blood of our slain; not only
well known leaders. who bravely died, but
faithful followers known only in the cabins
of the lowly.
Eve refer not only to such we'll known
slaughters as Kemper and Copiah,
Clinton and Carrallton. Wahallak and
Vicksburp, Yazoo City and Lefare, but
to Dameless killing by creek and bayou on
highways and byways. These are the
Democratic arguments which crush us.
We can do no more. We dare no longer
carry cur tattered blood stained republican
flag. We appeal to the nation. Is ma.
tional law and honor but a delusion and a
snare? When we rely upon the guarantee
of our national constitution. do we but
lean upon a broken reed. If so an
nounce the policy boldly and acquit us OF
further effort -

AN ELEGANT LUNCHEON.
"Mosaic's" Splendid Description of
a Beautiful Feast.
A Correct Record of the Past
Weeks Social Happenings.
Professional and Amateur Comedy
--Literature--A High Tea.

All sorts OF Of echoes reach me this
week from the gay world of society. The
different affairs have been matrimonial,
widely varying in character all have been
enjoyable and many unique end novel as
well.
The ~gayities were opened by delightful
theater supper given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Mast. The long table about which was
gathered some sixteen guests, made a
a pretty and appetizing picture and as
Mrs. Mast is justly famed for being a
server Of unusual and delicious refresh
ments it is needless to say that the oc-
casion was one of much enjoyment.
Little Puck. at the opera house on
Monday night drew a fairly good au-
dience. Frank Daniels, the star OF the
company, is certainly a most amusing
portrayer of eccentricities OF character
and 1t seems a pity that he wastes his
undoubted talents on the horse play of
the popular farce comedy of to-day.
Speaking OF high comedy actors, l see by
a New York criticism that Dixey of
Adonis fame, has made a great hit in his
new play The SeUen Ages, a parody on
Shakespeare famous lines. All the ele-
ments which amused Dixey's friends in
his last play are to be found In this, with
original work of this clever young actor
far above what he has done in former
productions. AS is always the case in his
companies. a host of pretty grrls make
the scenes bright with their attractiveness
and keep the audience amused with their
singing and graceful dancing.
The craze for amateur theatricals has
taken firm hold upon some of our gay
people and / hear that on the Both of Oc-
tober we are to have a presentation of
Boucicault's famous comedy London As
surdnce The cast includes Miss Emma
Thomas as Lady Gay Spanker' of hunt
ing fame, Miss Bergman as Grace Hark-
away" and Miss Lisle Smith. the pretty
maid, who loves a young man better
than an old one" Among the men
are Major Whipple as hearty old Squire
Max" Mr.. Henderson. as Sir Har-
court Courtley. Mr.. Adams. as Volatile
Dazzle" and Mr.. Mason, as "Courtly,"
the younger. 1t is many years since

Philanthropy and Miss Hebard of

almost invariably for the better. AS an
instance of this st. Patrick's Pills are fast
taking the place of the old harsh and vlo-

sides they are much more beneficial in re-

NEW ENGLAND.

Maine and New Hampshire support
their State Boards of Agriculture with
cramped appropriations, New Hamp-
shire giving So, 900 annually. Maine
has%been fairly generous toward her
agricultural college, but New Hamp-
shire has done little in this way.
In Vermont the only appropriations
for agricultural purposes made by the
biennial Legislature of 1886 were
$1,000 for establishing the State Elk
pertinent Station at Burlington, al
though the Governor was given power
to appoint a cattle commission who
should receive three dollars a day and
their expenses, when actually at work.
The State Board of Agriculture re-
ceives $4,000 annually, and the State
Fish Commission per diem and ex-
penses amounting to about So, 900 an
nually, making So, 900 at the outside,
exclusive of publishing the annual re-
port OF the Board. In 1888. the Legis.
lature gave So, 500 annually to the
Station.

MAKING PINE TAR.

Some one asks for a way to make
pine tar in small quantities. The fol
lowing is the best way known at the
South for the purpose
Erect a platform four feet square,
and twelve or fourteen inches above
the ground. Bore a three-fourth-inch
auger hole near its center, fit a stick
in the hole now cover the platform
three or four inches deep with stiff,
clay mortar, finish it off smooth with
a gradual depression to the center and
withdraw the stick. Fill an iron pot
full of rich, pine splinters, place the
pot, inverted, on the platform, and
make a fire all over the pot, and as
little or as much tar can be run as
may be desired.-E. J. MILLER, in

STATE AID TO AGRICULTURE.
What Our National and State Govern
ments Are Doing for It's Promotion.
GErom the American A nricnltnralist ]


from the American Agriculturaltst.
An extensive inquiry enables us to
lay before the readers of the american
Agricwtmralast quite a complete record
of the efforts that Congress and the
respective States have made of late
to foster their agricultural interests.
The facts are we'll grouped below in
the reports by States. A State agri-
cultural society, board, or commission,
is the generally accepted form of ad-
ministering State aid. Each State
has an agricultural college endowed
by the National government, but re-
ceiving more or less support from the
State; also an agricultural experiment
station which receives $500 an
nually from the National treasury, and
in some cases further aid from the
State.
THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
The agricultural appropriation thus
far made by Congress for the fiscal
year ~endinging June 80, 1889, are as
follows:

Rhode Island gets about $500 from
fertilizer fees and taxes, out of which
the Board of Agriculture pays the cost
of fertilizer inspection, The Board
receives $500 in addition from the
State treasury, and the State Agri-
cultural Society $1,000. The three
county societies get $500 each pro-
vided they hold a fair, and about
$500 are spent for the encourage
ment of the fisheries. The last Legis-
lature also made a special %appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the establishment
of a farm school at which the Hatch
Experiment Station is to be located.
Massachusetts efforts to promote
agriculture are confined to her State
board, county societies, cattle com.
mission, agricultural college and ex-
pertinent station, all Of which are

tailed statement of appropriations for
