New Orleans.

The Monroe Bulletin refer, ID
complaints made by some Of the
business men of New Orleans, that
the people OF the country parishes
take no State pride in that city. Al
the Bulletin says, that is a mistake.
The people of the country feel q
Iaudatle pride in New Orleans. but
commerce knows 10 sentiment, and
they can not lie induced to trade
there unless equal advantages are
offered. In point Of fact, New Or.
leans merchants make very littIe
effort to secure the trade Of tho
country parishes. AS one instance,
not long since the writer hereof was
looking over u copy Of the old Caddo
Gazette, printed in 1852, aud was
surprised to find in it the advertise.
ments Of over forty New Orleans
business houses. To-day there il
scarcely one in Shreveport paper.
Yet in 1852 tho Crescent City had
no rival for the trade Of this section.
We sometimes hear from private
individuals Of rare bargains gotten
there, bat how is the public st large

When We pass a peanut stand. or
see d tag II peanuts IL Tue grocery
store, We do net think OF peanuts as
forming auy Important share n our
Commerce. We % not think that
the peanut trade is a branch Of trade
verv important to the people in a
certain section CT our country that
il the crop should fail it would mean
suffering and rum to many people.
Peanuts grow Virginia, Tennessee
and Eastern North Carolina. Ala

grade ONE from Virginia, and
they are known as "%goabers," in
Alabama and Mississippi as pin.
'ders." Dealers say that no improve
ments have been made il the peanut
farms; they are Just what ttey were
thirty years ago, although the pea
nut trade has doubled in nine years.
the farms are small, aud the crops
are cared for by negroes. The nuts
are planted in hills about g foot
apart, in rows about two and one
halt feet apart, and are harvested
by blowing and turning over with
long handled forks; this shakes off
the dirt, when the vincs n gather
ed and shocked about a pole. where
they are left TO dry, the vines being
20 placed as to protect the nuts
from the rain; widowed mats turn
black, and are less salablc though
the nuts may be as sweet. A dealer
says, in the New York Evening
Post, that "thc shocks, after they
have been hniIt mp. are left stand
ing for several weeks, until the nuts
are quite dried and cured. They
sre then stripped from the vines by
naud, packed in bags, and carried
to tho middleman who handles them
for the farmer. By the middleman
the nuts 1t taken to the top floor
Of the factory, and are secured and
polished by rubbing agains: each
other in . long revolving iron
cylinder. Spouts carry them, after
cleaning, to the second floor. where
they are u through q tanning
mill. From the mill they are deliver
cd on to an endless apron, made Of
Stats hinged together, and as they
travel along on this girls sitting on
each side sort them into grades.
The nuts are then put into sacks
aud are ready for shipment. They
are brought to New York mostly
by steamers, although some come by
rail. They are cold here as 'Wil-
ming!ons.' "Virginians,' Tennessee
and Spanish The last variety was
formerly grown in Spain, but is now
raisedin Virginiat to good advantage.
The grades are known as fancy
handpicked,' extra haudpicked,'
aud choice The screenings are
the poorest nuts ard these are
bought by vendors al country fairs
and mixed in with a better grade"
Peanuts arc shipped 10 all parts Of
thi, country and tc TIE West Indies,
but no trade has been developed
with Europe. This limited trade,
however, amounts to Eve millien
dollars per year.-Ex.

NATIONAL SILVER CONVEN-
TON.

The arrangements for the National
Silver Convention, to assemble in
Grand Music Hall, st. Louis, Ncv.
Goth, have been closed. The pro-
motors Of the movement in that city,
have shown great deal of earnest
nessin the work, and from advices
received the business people Of the
city appreciate the Importance of the
Convention by the manner in which
they have subscribed to the fund for
the entertainment of the delegates
and visitors. The indications are that
the Convention will attract an at
tendance OF upwards Of 10000 people,
coming from all parts of the United
States. Fhom the mining country
there will be several special cars and
displays. Of minerals from leading
camps. The Grand Music Hall, which
has been secured for the Convention,
for Nov. %, 81, %, and Doth, is one of
the best arranged halls in the coun-
try. It has On adequate seating
capacity for both delegates and spec
tators, while at the same time the
former are placed compaetly and adj
vantageously. The entertainment
being arranged by st. Louis will in
clude a grand Thanksgiving day
dinner. This will be of an elaborate
description, and a decided novelty.
It will probably be held in the hall
Of the Merchants Exchange, which
has the largest floor area Of any hall
Of it's character in the country. The
hall will be elegantly decorated with
flowers and the trimmings usually
used. There will also be. entertain
ment during the other four days Of
the session of the Convention, and st.
Louis will make every effort to sur
pass herself in caring for her guests.
The delegate representation will be
large from all tho States and Terri
tories Of the Union. The Governors
OF the States and Territories to
whom is delegated the authority of
appointing delegates, have shown a
great deal Of care in selecting the best
possible men for the position. The
samo care will also be taken by the
Executive Committee in it's selection
ef10O delegates at large from the
United States. The attendance from
members and ex-members of Con-
gress will also be large. From pres
ent indications the Convention will
result in great deal Of good in edu-
eating the people of the country,
particularly Of the Agricultural dis.
tricts UP to the Importance of the
silver question, outsidsof what bene-
fit it may DO to those actually engaged.
IN the mining industry.

A Cool Bed-FellOw.

Two or three nights ago Mrs. Geo.
Loutzberger, of West Newton, carri-
ed her little daughter up stairs to
put her to bed. Turning back the
cover the little one was placed in
bed and snugly covered up. Pres
emily the child complained that she
felt something moving about her
limbs. An investigation was insti-
tuted by the mother and when the
cover was taken from the bed a
black snake three and half feet long
sprang from the bed and fell at the
lady's feet. 1t made an attempt to
get away, but finally killed. A
window was up in the room and it
is supposed the snake crawled up
the grape vine into the room-Mo-
