Handwriting on the Wall.

The rigid exclusion laws that gov
ern the wonderful new city of Fitz-
gerald, recently built almost in a
day in Southern Georgia by North
ern men, most of whom are ex- Union
soldiers, is warning of the fate
that awaits the negroes of the south
from the invasion of northern immi-
grants now pouring into it. In this
town not single negro is permitted
to live. All the lines of work,
from the lowliest manual occupation
to the higher profession are filled by
white men, and so great is their
aversion to the presence of the
negroes that not only are they for
hidden to live in the corporate limits,
but even to enter the town for any
purpose. If federation can be called
friendship, the only friends this I'M
fortunate race possess in all this
broad land are their former masters
and their descendants. To these
the negro as field hand or domestic
IS almost necessary; and the native
born southerner would be at loss
without them. This pseudo friend
ship, however, is replaced by very
different feeling when the field hand
becomes the teacher, the preacher or
the politician. If it were within the
mental compass of the negro to rise.
bis elevation would only serve to
ALLEVIATE him completely from his
only friends and protectors. His
situation is most strange and pitiful.
His history is the drama of race,
less tragic, but not less melancholy
than that of the Indians who yielded
their freedom only with their lives.

Rev. Father ii. A. Picherit, priest in
charge Of St. Paul's Catholic Church,
this city. was asked by G. II. report
err yesterday TO state what the attitude
of the church was at present with ref
erence to the Pythian order and simi-
lar associations for mutual benefit, fire.
qnently termed insurance orders !; ii
being known that some modification
of the late decision concerning them
bad been made, although no one was
exactly advised of it's nature. He
replied, substantially, that under the
ruling referred to Catholic members
of such orders who had united with
them before this was forbidden and
in good faith, were permitted 10 retain
their membership and Insurance and
to pay their dues, il being considered
that otherwise they would be subject
ed 10 great hardship AS to joining
such orders, however, the prohibition
continues in force, as before the modi-
ficaiion IN the respect mentioned.
1t is understood that the modifica-
ton will be great relief to a number
how many is not known-of Vicks-
burg Catholics who joined the order
of knights of Pythias, or others, aud
would now find it far more expensive
and in some cases impossible to obtain
insurance in any other manner. or

ined in which person perfectly accep-
table ten years ago would now find
himself unable to get policy, owing
to failing health, from any company
on earth.-Vicksburg Commercial

burg says that, should the Republi.
can majority in the House adopt the
majority report Of its committee on
elections and unseat Congressman
Boatner the river interests will lose
one OF its ablest advocates, though,
we believe, only temporarily, for in
the face Of such an insult to the in,
teIligence of his district his re-nom-
ination and election by an increased
majority will be a certainty. The
slender pretence upon which the re-
port is founded, requires no further
demonstration than is conveyed by
the fact that even partisan commit
tee lacked the nerve to declare that
the contestant, Benolt, was entitled
to the seat from which it is willing to
GUST the rightful occupant. The
verdict is no reflection upon Col.
Boatner, but is most discreditable to
the committee, scarcely less so than
if, in the face of the returns and of
the evidence, it had declared Benoit
elected.

How to Cure Meat.

The Southern Farmer of New Or
leans says that Col. Charles Schiller
of DcSoto parish, tue standard authori
ty in this State in matters of hill farm
ing, in recent letter to friend
described his method Of curing meat
which we give in full below. Col
Schiller has been so successful in meal
curing, handling 1t on a commercial
scale, that his views and conclusions
are of great value to every one inter.
ested. lie says:
In the first place, to have good
sweet meat, you must fatten it on a
sound ration; next, the hog ought to
be scalded, cleaned and dressed just as
soon as il has been killed. This prac-
tice of killing hogs aud letting the en-
trails cool before scalding is not a
very good one, aud should be stopped
at once.
After dripping, cut up the hog. /
use butchers meat saw and cut the
hog in two parts, dividing the back
bone equally. BY following this plan
you will get two nice middling sides
and have no waste. l do not remove
the ribs or backbone-olly the part
next to the shoulder. Separate the
shoulders and hams having care to
make the sides as long as possible
Spread out, applying about a handful
OF salt spread on each piece, and let il
lay over night so that the animal heat
have chance TO escape.
Next morning pack away the sides
in box, using plenty of salt, especial
~ between the meat. Let it remain
four weeks, then if you want to bacon
it, dip it in borax solution and hang in
alright smoke house. Should You
want it for home use repack it and
salt without smoking, and you can
keep it sweet and pnre-dry salt-for
at least six months, but would advise
repacking every sixty days.
The hams, shoulders and jowl, rub
thoroughly with the sugar cure, pack
away with skin part down, then apply
about double handful of mixture to
the flesh part of each ham and should
err aud fill up between pieces with clean
salt. After they have been in salt
four or five weeks lowing to weather.
take up, dip in borax mixture and
hang up in the highest part OF your
air-tight smoke house. Hams ought
to get cool smoke. use gum, hickory
and china for making smoke. Let
your hams and shoulders hang until
you get ready to use or sell them.
They will not need any further curing
The feet, after being cleaned, should
be put in strong brine, in which you
can keep them any length of time.
Soak as you want to use them.
BoRAx MIXTURE.
To 20 gallons of pure water add
pound of well dissolved borax. Bring
the mixture TO a boiling heat, then dip
your meat before hanging it up. Be
certain that the borax is dissolved.
SUGAR CURE MIXTURE.
To bnshel of salt add gallon of
pure cane syrup, l pound finely
ground black pepper, pound salt
petre. Mix well and rub meat, apply
ing also double handful of the mix
ture to the flesh part of each ham and
shoulder.

strong and incendiary language. In
his New Orleans speech he denied it,
and said that this is what he meant:

a few men killed, than a revolution in

business that would call for coffins.

themselves, as some people say l did.
| told them to go to the polls without
any arms at all. and if any body got
into trouble to get out of the way and
let the white people fight it out among
themselves. That's what advised my
colored friends to-"
There is no doubt but that Pharr has
changed up his words. and that he did
advise the colored people to go TO the
polls armed. What would be the con-
sequences if they did go to the polls
armed and a rumpus did occurp The
colored man would get the worst of it.

WHAT A COMET is.

Few people have clear idea as to
what a comet really is, aud for their
benefit the opinion of Prof. Young is
set forth "a follows: "a comet is
nothing but sand bank that is it is
swarm Of soldid particles of un-
known size aud widely separated, say
pin heads, several hundred feet apart,
each particle carrying with il an evel-
ope of gas largely hydrocarbon, in
which gaslight is produced, either by
electrical discharges between the par
licles or by some other light, the
evolving action due TO the suB's influ-
ence. This hypothesis derives its
chief FEASIBILITY from the modern dis
coyery of the close relationship be-
tween meteors aud comets"
Another astronomer on the subject
of the makeup of comets says:
1T is not solid BODY like the earth
1t is made up of minute bodies. We
might compare it with a dust cloud
While in size it compares with The
earth, there is no comparison with the
solidiiy Of the two. So far as we have
been able TO learn there are no large
particles o. matter in the comet. They

THE FOOT GUARD

And Their Coming Visit to Waterbury
 The Waterbury American says of the New Haven Foot Guards and their coming visit to Waterbury:
 "The feeters' will be we'll entertained while in town, although no plans have yet been made. Major Brown, com mandant of the organization, was in Waterbury a few days ago and talked the matter over with Colonel Burpee, Other members have also been in the city within a short time. The company asks no entertainment, however, and always pays all it's own bills on a trip of this character. Still, Waterbury mil litiamen are not inclined to allow so notable a command to visit Waterbury without proper and fitting recognition of the event.
