The New Orleans PicdyaRe rebnts the
oft repeated assertion that there exists
on the part of Southern men secret
purpose to restore slavery, aud refers to
| the recent action of the Mississippi
convention as conclusive evidence to the
contrary, as follows:


Mississippi was the leading, the lar
gest slaveholding State in the Union
The number of her slaves at the begin
ming of the late war reached half mil
lion; their money value was two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars, on the gold
standard BY vote of 81 to ii the
convention representing the sovereignty
of the State has determined that slavery
no longer exists in Mississippi. That
convention is no bogus body, elected by
fraud and military interference, as were
the conventions in this and other States
during the war. Nor was it composed
of so-called Union men, or of Ofadyenturers,
who had no interests in slave property,
who could. without sacrifice destroy an
institution in which those who were ex-
cluded from any participation in the ac-
ton of the body were alone Interested
1t was Il cheap sacrifice for such bodies to
vote away other peoples property. But

the voice of the real people of Mississippi.
1t is the enormous sacrifice thev make to

A NEW CABLE.-The latest news from
Europe contains report that the Allan
tic Telegraph Company have formally
resolved upon manufacturing new ca
ble-by which it is probably meant to
begin their enterprise again, instead of
attempting to mend the broken line
They have doubtless learned, from the
experiment made, that their wire and
itscoating were less perfect than they had
been led to suppose, But for the flaws
in the lost cable, no hauling ia would
have been necessary and ten to one there
would have been no break. 1t seems to
be wise to begin the work again from
the beginning.

standing which carries the mind back to the
time when the smoke OF sacrifices rose from
the Pantheon, and when came leopards and
tigers bounding in the Flavian amphitheatre.
The proudest royal houses are but Of yester'
day, when compared with the line OF Supreme
Ponttfs. That line we trace back, in an
unbroken series, from the Pope who crowned
Napoleon in the Nineteenth century, to the
Pope who crowned Pepin in the Eighth; and

the Papacy remains. The Papacy remains,
not in decay, not in mere antiquity but full
OF lie and youthful vlgor. The Catholic
Church is still sending forth, to the farthest
ends Of the world, missionaries as Jealous as
those who landed in Kent with Augustine,
and still confronting hostile kings with the

A writer in the Woodstock Standard gives
the following account OF the cheese factory
at Enosburg:-


The building is one hundred and eighty
feet long, thirty feet wide, and about eight
cen feet length of posts. On the ground
floor are four large watts, holding four thou.
sand pounds of milk each, lined with tin and
resting on frame work about foot high
The watts are provided with a chamber in
which cold water is placed for the purpose oil
reducing the temperature of the milk. The
vats being filled, the temperature is reduced
to 70 degrees for the reception of the rennet
and then raised again by the use of steam to
"a degrees, after which the process is nearly
the same as that usually adopted in private
dsiries. The whey is drawn off by syphon,
the curd is placed in hoops about nineteen
inches In diameter, making the cheese to
weigh from ne hundred 70 one hundred and
twenty pounds each, and they are then placed
In the press, which is constructed of two long
beams a convenient distance from the floor,
one over the other about three feet, and con-
nected by strong iron screws. When suffici-
entle pressed, the cheese are conveyed up
stairs, where they are properly cared for un-
til sent to market Otter is used to give
them nice cream color.


An accurate account Of the weight of each
mans milk is kept, and he receives propor-
tlonate share in the sales, averaging, | be-
lieve, one pound of cheese to eight and one
half or nine pounds of milk. Six hands
four girls and two men-are Sufficient help
to work the milk of thousand cows, and
can make ton Of cheese per day from that
number.


Factory cheese last year brought twenty
seven cents in market, which, after deducting
one cent and half, the cost Of making,
still left the price higher than private made
cheese.


A large number Of hogs are kept on the
whey. In one yard at Fast Berkshire, | saw
~s~riy one hundred and fifty.


Your readers are aware that cheese facto-
ries were first established few years ago in
New York, where they have met with such
eminent success as to commend them to dairy
men everywhere. | think may safely say
that the time is not far distant when the sys-
tenn will be adopted in every section of the
country where large dairies are kept.

Alexander Robertson writes to the Canada
Farmer :--"I have for the last four years
proved to my satisfaction that the wild pep
permint is sure and reliable exterminator of
my rats. In proof Of the fact, will state the re-

barn was regularly infested with rats they
were so numerous that had great fears of
whole grain being destroyed BY them, after it
was housed but having about two acres of
wild peppermint that grew in field Of wheat,
after the wheat was harvested. the mint was
cut and bound with it, and 1t drove the rats
from my PrornisSs. I heso nov Soon tIvuuiro

How TO FALL ASLEEP The great point

him try the experiment himself. I wish he
would let him pause just here and make
it. I venture to assure him that, If he makes
it in good faith, in the manner described, the
promise of "a penny for his thoughts" or
for each of them, while the operation is in
progress, will add very little to his wealth
Such being its effect, we cannot wonder that
it should bring sleep to Q nervous and wake

matter is very simple. A suspension Of
