Letter from Louisiana.
Editor Times, Dear Sir :—I iind
that I ani chronically affected with
“ cacoethes scribendi,” and have deci
ded to humor it at your expense by
writing a short letter to the Times,
which 1 hope may prove interesting to
some of your readers.
I have only sad facts to call their
attention to in giving an account of
affairs as they now stand in Louisiana,
since such bids lair to be tire case with
all ot the Southern States it may prove
valuable as it may show them the
shoals and quick sands to be avoided.
I have sent you at different times
papers containing accounts of the re
cent troubles with the negroes in this
State, supposing tliat if you foundry
thing that you thought would be of
interest to your readers, you would
present it to them ; so I shall not
enter into a discussion of them, but
proceed in a general manner to notice
affairs.
Each day witnesses new usurpations,
and greater strides toward centraliza
tion. The indications ot the political
horoscope are daily growing more
gloomy. The political sun ot Louisi
ana has sunk behind a dark cloud
which throws its appaling shadow
over everything. Divided by parties,
she is no longer a Pelican feeding
her young ; her great seal is a mock
ery, she now devours, and like the
bald eagle watches to seize the prey
ot the fish hawk, so Louisiana pounces
down upon any of her children taking
whatever they may have. W. P. Kel
log, an Indiana carpet bagger import
ed by Lincoln during the late war
to take charge of the Custom House
at New Orleans, is forced upon the
State, as Governor, sustained by Grant
Metropolitan Police and Winchester
Rifles. And now this satrap asks of
his majesty, Grant, that marshal law
be declared in this State and soldiers
stationed in every parish.
Un offend mg citizens are snatched j
from their homes, allowed no hearing
in Courts of Justice, (?) and hurried
off to prison, simply for not obeying
the behests of this tyrant or his
agents.
The political are not the only diffi
culties ;they have effected everything,
capital has been withdrawn from the
State and as a result business of every
kind has been paralyzed. Having had
unlimited credit, her fanners nccessa
rilly suffer now that it is being with
drawn. “ One woe doth tread upon
another’s heel, so fast they' follow.”
North Louisiana had the misfortune
to lose by fire two cities of the ut
most commercial importance in one
short week. These fires effect .all of
this section of the country, as most of
the farmers get their supplies from
those cities, also many of the country
merchants had goods stored in them,
waiting shipment. The fires are the
works of incendiarism. North Louisi
ana and North eastern Texas have
suffered unusually in this respect du
ring the past winter. A liberal use of
hemp i 8 about the only available rem
edy for it, and the sooner it is used
the better. Lawlessness of every
kind prevail in many sections of the
State, owing to the present unsettled
state of affairs. High taxes, a scarcity
of money prevail, and bankruptcy is
staring the State in the face.
Since enumerating all of her troubles
it would be unjust to leave unnoticed
her brighter prospects, (if under the
circumstances any may be called
bright.) viz: her Railroad prospects.
The day is not far distant when this
country will be intersected by a road
connecting Vicksburg and Marshal
Texas, opening up a better route to
the fertile plains of the Pacific coast,
and developing the resources of this
country. That, after a good govern- ‘
ment is the greatest want of North
Louisiana, and by way Mr. Editor,'
this part of the State is filled with
Georgians, many of them coming
from “ Old Carroll,” and Heard.
Hoping you and the readers of
your very interesting paper will excuse
this long and rambling letter, and re
joining in the brightening prospects
of Old Carroll and Carrollton.
I am ’respectfully yours,
J. J. Thomassox.

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 1873.
from the Franklin News.
My Housekeeping Experi
ence.
BY SANDY HIGGINS.
I wonder how many of my readers
have ever found themselves reduced
to the necessity of taking upon them
selves the duties of cook and general
bottle washer ? In these days ot wo
man s rights it will not be surprising
if a great many of the lords have to
come to it but it was not so in the
good days that are gone. Conse
quently a leaf—and a very short one
—from my experience in that line
may strike a feeling iu some poor dev
il’s breast.
One morning my better halt got up
—or, rather, she didn't get up— on
the sick list, and. as there was then
no substitute, and I had no time to go
in search of one, I was informed that
I was expected to fly ’round and make
myself generally useful, for that morn
ing, at least. Os course the prepara
tion of breakfast was the first and
most important job, and my wife in
formed me that I had better manufac
ture some corn -dodgers, as she feared
I was not up to the mysteries ot mak
ing good biscuits.
“ Never you mind,” said I ; “ I’m
going to boss the kitchen department
this morning, and I’m going to pro
vide a dish of biscuits that you will
long for, even in Paradise! ”
I may as well state, just here, that
I had always held to the opinion that
women folks had a very easy time of
it in this world, and here was a chance
to test the matter fairly. According-*
Iv, I piled on about half a cord of
wood, (for there was no stove,) a
good turn of bark, put a kettle of wa
ter to boil, and commenced opera
lions. First, I found the bread tray
into wlnoh I sifted a peck of flour,
poured in milk and soda and salt and
spice and ginger, and everything else
that I tound lying ’round loose, think
ing I might as well make a good
thing of it, at once, and finished off
with a quart and a half, or such a
matter, of boiling water.
I felt a little dubious about putting
my bands into the precious mess, but
I recollected that the women folks
generally made bieadwith their hands,
and why not I ? I would—and I did !
Rolling up my sleeves, and unbutton
ing my collar, I plunged my hands in
the mixture, floundered about a few
minutes, like a bug in cold molassas,
and then held my hands up for ins
spection. There was about four
pounds of flour clinging to each one,
and I had just then made the discov
ery that I did not have halt hands
enough. For the life of me I couldn’t
find even a spare finger to operate
with, and the more 1 rubbed them to
gether, the more they didn’t quit
sticking. When I’d rake it from one
hand it would all stick so the other,
and then I’d change hands with the
same result. I might as well have
tried to make biscuits out of a combi
nation of tar, glue and molasses, as
that stuff. In fact, I soon became a
blamed sight more anxious to get rid
of it than I was to make bread.
Finally, after working half an hour
I went out into the yard, slung the
surplus dough around among the pigs
and chickens, and proceeded to wash
my hands, breathing a sigh of relief
when I had finished the job. Then I
shoved the tray behind the flour bar
rel, and informed my wife that, as
flour was scarce, I thought we’d bet
ter have eorndbread for breakfast,
She made no opposition, and I made
another effort to retrieve mj reputas
tion, but I was determined not to be
caught in the dough again, if I knew
myself. This time I went for it with
a spoon, and after beating up enough
batter to last a family a day, I poured
it into a cold oven, which I placed on
a bed of hot coals, piled on enough
fire to roast an ox, and went to head
quarters to find out what was the next
job.
“I think you had better tiy to milk
the cow,” said my wife.
‘Try?’ I retorted. ‘Why don’t
you give me a harder job ? ’
‘ Better finish that first,’ said she.
‘ Ah, I'll finish it, no doubt of that
fact, if you’ll tell me where to find
two or three water-buckets,’ I said.
‘ What in the world do you waut
them for ? ’ she queried.
‘Don't you see? ’ I replied. ‘l’m
going to milk plenty, while I’m at it,
and not have the job to do every day.
I'll leave nothing but skin and bone
when Ira done. I never could un
derstand why a woman should be al
ways running to milk, when she might
get enough milk at one time to last ail
the week!
She finally persuaded me that a
gallon bucket would hold all that I
would probably get, so I armed my
self with one and marched to the
cowslot, whistling Yankee Doodle,
and thinking what a happy time
| women had. Our only cotv was of the
i young persuasion, with her first calf,
j and a little inclined to be frisky, but
11 thought she onlv needed to find her
.
; master, so I jumped over the fenee and
i marched straight towards her. She
looked at me as if she thought I was
in the wrong pew, and sauntered off
to the other side of the lot, while I
marched after her.
‘ Yir o, Dolly ! said I; ‘ I’ve come
out here to milk, and I’m going to
milk, so you might as well stand and
take it! ’ but she didn’t ‘wo ’ worth
a continental. On the contrary, she
elevated her nose in the air and set
off in a brisk trot, and I after her.—
Then she broke into a brisk run, and
I redoubled my speed, thinking I
would run her down, or milk her on
the wirg ; but the vexatious beast out
run me, and didn’t seem to be exert
ing herself, either ‘Oh, for a regi
ment cf Mexicans, with their lassos ! ’
thought I, as I leaned against the
fence, entirely out of breath, while the
cow threw up hertail as though daring
me to continue the race. I thought
of throwing a rope over her horns,
and making her head fast to a tree,
but 1 considered that my business just
then lay at the other extremity, and
tying the head wouldn’t help me much.
Then I thought of hitching her tail to
a sapling, but I reflected that might
dislocate her back bone ; and besides,
I didn’t exactly see my way to do the
tying. Finally, not knowing what
else to do, I sat down on a fence-rail,
and reflected on the difficulties of my
position. I was always a poor hand
to back out of any job that I under
take, and I determined to milk that
cow, if I had to wait till she went to
sleep.
Just then I remembered that I had
not turned the calf in. ‘ That
counts for her doldrums,’ thought I.
‘lf I had begun right 1 might have
had two or three gallons of milk by
thistime.’ Pleased with this thought,
I let in the young ’un, and as soon as j
he commenced operations I approach
ed her gently, but here another diffi
culty presented itself. I didn’t *lftiow
for the life of me which side to ap
proach on, and I was afraid ii I went
to the wrong one, she’d kick me over
the fence.
‘Let me see,’ thought I, ‘we al
ways go to left side of a horse to get
up, and I suppose it’s the same way
by milking, but the calf’s got
that side, and if I say anything his
fool dam will begin another
fox chase around this patch. I’ll
milk, on the other side, and if she
don’t like it she can go to—grass ! ’
Acting on this decision I approached
gently, keeping at a respectful distance
from the kicking portion of her ana
tomy, and seating myself by her side,
I prepared to commence operations.
The first thing I did was to stick my
thumb into the fools calf’s mouth and
get it nearly bit off for my pains.—
Drawing it out with a familiar quo
tation, I stuck it into my own mouth
to ease the pain, mentally wondering
what calves were for, anyhow. As
soon as the hurt ceased I grasped one
ot the teats and made a vigorous-puli?
exoecting a stream of milk as lonoj as
a fishing pole, but the result was a to
tal failure. Thinking that I’d laid
hold of the wrong organ, I pushed
the calf away—keeping my fingers
out of its mouth, however—and made
another long pull, but it was still dry
weather.
‘ls it possible that I’ve got hold of
the wrong cow f ” I asked myself,
‘ The cussed calf seems to be doing a
heavy-business, and I know there’s
milk there, if I only knew how to get
at it. Here goes again ! ’ Then I
felt round for another good * hold,’
and peeped under to see if I was on
the right track this time. Evidently
I was, for a stream of milk as large
as a calf rope struck me in the right
eye, nearly knocking me backwards,
and causing me to wonder if I’d got
all the milk at one jerk. While I was
trying to clear my peeper, the calf
gave an ungodly hunch, nearly knock
ing tlie cow off her pins, and causing
her to place her right hind foot, on
my left bind foot, where she stood
and chewed her cud as quietly as
though she was iu a clover field. Not
knowing what else to do I took her
in the right flank with my head, mak
ing her grunt like she had the colic,
while she looked around to see if she
hadn’t by some means come into pos
session of twins. I cussed a few, I’m
ashamed to say but my dander was up,
and I was bound to go through with
it, so I put the bucket down and went
ai it again. I had learned how to
wake the milk come,but it persisted in
going its own way in spite of all tiiat
I could do. Taking good aim at the
bucket, .1 struck the ground a foot be
yond it. Then I put the bucket
where I struck last, and got the next
supply iu my bosom, just missing my
mouth; then I filled my left vest
pocket ; thou sent a stream into my
lap and finished by shooting a load in
to my right boot. Finding that I
couldn’t hit anything smaller than a
large sized bread tray or canal boat,
I stopped to reflect I had seen mv
motlfer place a small pail on the
ground, take hold of one of a cow’s
pipes with each hand, and send even
drop of the milk whizzing just where
she wanted it, and here I was scatter
ing the stuff all over the plantation.
It was too bad, and while I was think
ing about it Dolly brought her mop
of a tail around into my eyes, kicked
me one way and bucket another, and
walked off.
‘I wish to God I had a cannon
loaded with grape shot! ” said I, ‘ I’d
open your infernal carcass, if I stopped
the breed by the operation! ’ Then I
picked up the bucket and threw it at
her, and vent to the house wondering
what would come next.
‘ Where’s your milk V asked mv
wife.
‘ Well, to tell the truth,’ said I,
‘the call: looked so hungry I thought
I would let him do the milking this
morning.’
‘ Very well,’ said she ; ‘ but I think
there is something burning in the
kitchen.’
‘ Very likely,’ said I, just then
thinking of my bread. When I rais
ed the oven lid I found I had made a
first-rate article of charcoal; but when
I tried to get it out it utterly refused
to come. I looked around for a mat
tock, or pick-axe, but finding nothing
of the kind, I put the oven out to-eool
and went back to the house, feeling
som ewh at discouraged.
“Wife,” said I, “don’t you feel like
you could eat some batter cakes?”
“No,” said she; “but I think you’d
better eat your breakfast, and go and
get your mother to come down and
stay a few days.”
“Certainly, and your mother, and
all our grandmothers, and a few cous
ins and aunts,” said I “I’d rather
feed all our female relatives, from the
Revolution down, than milk that cow
again-’
“Again?’ said site; “you’d better
wait till you milk her the first time!’
I fully appreciated the sarcasm of
the remark, but as I didn’t see my
way to any suitable reply, I had sense
enough to hold iny tongue, for a won
der. But when she told me to eat
my breakfast, I thought she was “ad
ding insults to injury,” so I remarked :
“Well, to tell the truth, again, my
bread got slightly scorched while I
was milking—in the cowpenjyou see,
and I don’t think I’ve got much appe
tite, anyway.”
But I was hungry, to do some good,
so I made my way to the cupboard,
where I was fortunate enough to find
enough cold victuals to keep off star
vation. at any rate. Then I proceed
cd to register a solemn vow that the
cows might carry their milk till they
puffed up like a balloon before I’d
ever try to milk another one. And
that vow I have religiously kept to
this day, Later events have taught
me to perform many culinary opera
tions in a creditable manner, but nevs
er again have I been seduced into
taking a calf’s position !
The Local Newspaper.
When anew town starts up some
where in the West—new towns are
always starting up there—the first
thing after the surveyor has got
through with his work of laying out
the lots is to get a newspaper. No
town ever thinks of even starting
without its newspaper, for a town
without its newspaper is like a cart
without a horse, it won’t go at all.
The importance of the local news
paper cannot be overated ; it is the
life and spirit and necessity of the
town. The ambition of every young
community is to increase and build
up; to thrive, to receive accessions
to its population, its capital and its
business, and there is not in any one
thing so great an aid to this as in the
local Newspaper. It is through it
that the town becomes known.
The local uevvspaper goes into the
most unaccountable places. Every one
in the town where it is issueu takes a
delight in sending it to some friend or
relative in some far off State; sons,
who have gone into the wilderness of
the West, will send it back to the old
folks in New York or in Massachu
setts, and the old folks will show it to
other old folks, aud the sons and
daughters of other old folks will see
it.; they discover from its columns
that a promising town is building up,
an early friend and schoolmate is get
ting rich, that there is a welcome and
a sufficiency for all. Then in a few
days some more of the sturdy sons of
the East are driving into the Eldora
dos of the West, where so many have
found homes and happiness and for
tunes. The local paper is always a
good index of its town, and serves
more than anything else to tell abroad
the character of the peoplp, who arc
its constituents. It is always filled up
with advertisements, but it is not al
ways filled with those that pay any
thing. In altogether too many coun
try villages and towns are busiuess
men, who not only feel confident that
the local newspaper ought to be thank
ful for the privilege of printing tlieir
advertisement gratuitously, but they
firmly believe that the miserable edi
tor should thank God that he is per
mitted to breathe the air and tread
upon the earth. What is a newspa
per for if not to print advertisements
and what right has a miserable,
povertysstricken wretch of an editor
to ask pay of a business man for any
advertisement? When there are a
good many men of this kind in a town,
we can tell it by a single glance at the
local newspaper. It looks muddy and
scraggy ; advertisements are set up
in a bungling, careless manner, with
wonderful innocence of taste, and after
they are once set up, are never again
thought of only as something in bulk
to fill up. They get mixed up, the
type is battered, some letters get turn
ed around, upside down, and then got
pulled out to be used in the advertise
ment of some man who does pay
something, and the non-paying adver
tisemeut is left a wreck and ruin of its
former self and appears each week
without conveying the slightest idea
of what it is for—a disgrace to the
business man, a jeer to the editor and
an insult to the subscriber, who pays
for his paper.
On the other hand, there are com
munities that , delight in extensive
patronage to the local newspaper, and
for which they pay promptly as for
anything else they have in their busi
ness. A paper from a community of
this character is always bright aud
and neat looking, and no matter if its i
editor is not the most brilliant person ;
in the world, he will, by neat type
setting and good press-work, produce
a journal tliat will be a credit to hints
self and his town. He gets pay for
his work, and, therefore, not only finds
it his duty to make a neat paper, but
he takes a genuine pleasure in it. It
is reported ot a large city wholesale
dealer, that he regularly took the lo
cal paper from the town where he had
creditors. He said he watched the
advertising columns, and so as lie
f»und his patrons advertising with
some show of spirit he was satisfied
they were all right, but the moment
he missed the advertisement he sent
on the collector, and got either his
money or his goods, for he was satis
fied that a man who didn’t advetise
was a failure in business.
The duty of every man is to sub
scribe for his local newspaper, no
matter what othei he may take. In
his city weekly he can get the news
of the world, elaborate editorials, es
says, stories, agricultural hints, and
the matters of general interest; but
he cannot find there the news which
he will prize most of all, and which he
ean find in his local paper, and that is
the news of his neighbors. The local
paper tells him that neighbor Higgins
has bought anew farm; that neighbor
Thomson has sold two extra heavy
hogs at an unusual price; that anew
school-house is to be built dowu in
the Hollow', and there is to be anew
minister at the old white church.—
Four columns out.of every five that
contains reading matter in the local
paper should be devoted to items
that everybody in the neighborhood
is interested in, for it requires no very
deep intellect to see that such news
is the very life and soul of the local
paper, and those that have done this
are the ones that have been most suc
cessful.
No man should take a city paper in
preference to his local paper. If he
is to poor to take only one, let that
one by all means be the one published
nearest his home A man may pos
sible endure without knowing all that
is going on iu Spain or South Ameri
ca, but he would be a poor ignoramus
without a knowledge ofhis own neigh
borhood. Take your local paper, and
do all in your power to make it a
credit aud honor to the town.
E®* Children suffer terribly from
ear-ache, when there is a simple aud
generally certain remedy. Take a
piece of fat, salt pork, and make a
plug half an inch long in such a shape
that one end will fit the ear like a
cork, the other end large enough to
keep it from slipping in. It gives
relief in a few moments. If the pfiece
is likely to drop out, tie a handker
chief over the ears.
