Favored The culture lis about the
same for all kinds of peppers as for
eggplants. They are summer 'vegeta
bles, and no matter how early they
might have been started, or forced,
will only begin to bear lin summer, or
late in spring. These sweet peppers
are eaten fresh, chopped with boiled
cabbage and snap beans, or with let
tuce or cabbage salad; and the stem
end is cut partly off, turned back like

peppers filled with amy kind of force
meat and breadcrumbS, we'll seasoned
to taste, the lid fastened down and all
the stuffed peppers set in pam with
enough hot water to prevent scOrching
and drowned. The cordial, pungent
properties of these stuffed peppers
make them wholesome and they are
certainly we'll tasted. The StraWber
ry pepper is the most ornamental of
it's class. A well-grown plant will
cover itself with cream deep yellow,
and bright red pods, in shape and size
like large Strawberries. There are
never amy green pods on the plants.
The blooms are followed by cream
colored pods, and as they grow, the
color deepens to yellow, then to scar
let, and a very brilliant or'ange-scat'-
let lit is. so Snowy are these peppers
that in New Orleans they are set I'D
the flower borders. At a little distance
the cream, deep yellow and orange
scarlet peppers make fine show, and
on near inspection the snowy White
flowers are beautiful. A lady wiring
to the Southern Florist and Gardener
says she had much rather have a
plant of the Strawberry pepper than
the Chinese LANTERN plant. That
voices our sentiment also. This is
also called Celestial pepper. 1t is
quite fiery in taste, and just as useful
for seasoning sausage meat, etc, ais
any common pepper.
The next kind is the Cayenne.
There are two kinds, one with slen-
der pods an inch or more in length,
and the other with small round pods,
called the Birds Eye pepper. This lat
ter is by far the handsomest of the
two, and beyond all doubt one OF the
comeliest plants for the flower garden,
or for pot plants to he seen.
The Creoles in New Orleans are
very partial to peppers of all kinds,
and particularly to the three sorts
here described This Birds Eye Cay
enne is much more hardy than any
other. 1T stands the winters in New
Orleans, and retains it's bright red
peppers until spring The plants are
compact, like little trees, and bloom in
full clusters of pure white flowers, fol-
lowed 10y the green peppers which
finally become bright red. They live

1t is stated with such positiveness that
division has arisen between the PFesi-
dent and Secretary Alger, which will force
AIger out Of the Cabinet, that it seems
hardly possible to doubt that this Will
occur.
Aicer should never have been appoint
cd Secretary Of War. His record as o
soldier during our Civil war had been
furnished. and no man should ever Poe put
at the head OF the Department Of War
that soldiers cannot respect The soldiers
honor is as delicate as bud, and no
soldier can serve contcntedly under 81
man whom he has reason to believe 10
have been disgraccd in his character Of
soldier. That fact alone should have
barred Alger from the position of Secretary
of War az soon as his name was sug-
gestcd. whatever other position might
have been assigned to him.
But even though he were appointed.
the President should have called for his
resignation when the whole country rose
up n protest against his MANAGEMENT
OF the War Department during the Span
ish war We think Il very probable that
some Of the things charged to Algers
account during that war were unjust 10
him. But there was enough justice I'm the
charges against him TO require the Presi-
dent TO call for his resignation. There
was outrageous jobbery and favoritism
in every branch Of the War Departments
service. and all OF that jobbery and
favoriusm started from the head Of the
department We do not mean 90 say that
the Secretary made money ont Of these
improper proceedings. We have no idea
that he did. But he IS a man ambitious
for political preference and be used the
patronage Of the department 10 extend
his political connections iu such directions
as would secure him supporters in his
political aspirations. and. I'm dong this he
was selling valuable rights Of the United
States for his own aegrandizement We
have no sort Of doubt that the govern
meme was systematically robbed during
the Spanish war. and that robbery had it's
source in Mr. Ayers desire to secure pro-
motion for himself
Nevertheless. after all we have a soft
spot I'm our heart for Alger. When the
Spanish war was over, and men who had
secured good positions, We're being turned
adrft with nothing TO do. Alger told a
prominent Southern man that whatever
happened he intended to see that the
sons of j. o. j. Stuart and George j.
Pickett We're taken care of. The people
Of the South viii never forget that and
