American Party in 81. Landry.-ln our
travels abroad we found the impression prevail.
ing in some places that our party in this parish
was in rapid state of decline, feeble, aud soon
must die.
10 this rumor we gave contradiction, assur-
ing our friends that the desertions has been
few, that good state Of feeing.existed in the
order, and that new members were being daily
added 1t is, therefore, without the greatest
pleasure that we are able to report now an i'm
proved state of feeling, more rarid increase
Of numbers, and much more enthusiasm a.
mong the people. Large additions are now
being made to our numbers; and by November
it will not be surprising if St Landry should
give such majority for the American candi-
dates as she did in days of yore for the Whigs
We would therefore say to Rapides, Clai-
borne, Union, and other strongholds of the A.
merican party, that they had better look out
or in November St. Landry will be the banner
parish of the State. [Opelonsas Patriot, llth

The Louisville Courier in speaking of the
late terrible riots in that city. says that one of
the most meiancho oily circumstances connected
with them. was the number of boys and half
grown men connected with them. This is al
most invariably the case every where, and
shows the tendency Of the times. The true
cause ofthis is found in that juvenile sentimen
tality now so fashionable, that children must
not be restrained and deciplined. The bitter
fruits Of this are already appearing. richer
harvest promises to follow.

Agricultural Division ofthe Patent Office
The Plaintain Tree-A Gentleman wri ling
from New Orleans to the Commissioner of
Patents, under date of the I'd inst gives some
interesting information in regard to the culti-
va,ion Of the much priced pain.ain tree. We
make the following extracts:
"The plaintain tree (musa sappienlium) is
superio. to the potato or wheat as staple ars
ticle of food. This is proved by eminent En-
glsh chemists who have analyzed it. 1t is easy
Of ultivation-one hand attending 10 one hum
dred acres and is Of continuous or spontaneous
growth after the first yesr In its green state
It is used for food; when ripe for fruit, and
makes an acid aud cheap vinegar, an in.oxica-
ting drink, and -four or Cruel. The green
leaves are used Cor fodder, and the dry ones
for bedding in all the public hospitals, being
cheap and healthy. The tree itself after yiel-
ding its fruit is cut down. and is now nanu-
factured into writing paper in England. An
indelible ink is also produced from the sheI!
of the green plaintain. | believe no known
plant contributes so much to the wants of
man.
its great value to man and beast Is neither
known or appreciated. Any number of plants
could be procured from British Guiana at 2i

A TrODhy.

Zen. PelissIer has just presented to the H.
brary OF Algiers volume of the history of the
Life OF Christ, which was taken in the chapel
OF the cemetery of Sebastopol It is in the
Sc'avnniaE language, and in the folio form. is
bound IN the ancient style and gilt, and has
two clasps in copper. On the top Cd /, in a
gilt wreath, are the three personag ~ of the
Trinity. On one Of the blank leaves is written
in Russia, "Ths book belongs to the Church of
the Saints ofthe cemetery and lower down.,
"Month Of December--the priest Attn Brihg gin
was here the 25thz of December, 1917" The
whole life is divided into twelve parts one for
each month; and the volume in question COM
prises the part for The month of December.
The book was printed at Moscow, and the
paper is of a erayish color. The titles of the
chapters and the first letters of each paragraph
are in red ink, and this gives it the appearance
OF the earlier productions of the topographic
art TIE bottoms of the pages are worn from
constant use, and some of the pages are 80 dir.
ty as to warrant the belief that the Russian
clergy are not Vigorously required to officiate
with clean hands; while other pages are stain
ed with drops of yellow wax, which evident-
ly fell from the candles which it is the custom
to burn in honor of the saints.
Gen. Peiissier, in transmitting this book to
the library OF Algiers, wrote the following lines
and they have been pasted in one of the fly
leaves:
"Headquarters before Sabastopol, 9th of June
1855. History of the life Of Christ. TakeL in
the chapel of the cemetery of Sebastopol,
where victory carried US. The sacred objects
and several other things were conveyed to the
monastery of st. George, but this book was
reserved by him who had the discretionary
power, in order that it might be presented to
The library of AIgers. 1t is in the ScIavonian
language, and printed in the ScIavonian char
acter."

There has been defalcation in the office {
Major Belyer, Quartermaster Of the United
States Army at San Antonio, Texas, committed
by John S. Sheban, to the amount, as is now
known, of some $4,000 to $4,000, and it is
supposed to exceed that amount considerably.
1t has been evident for two or three Years that
the young man named above, obtained his
money in some suchway. He purchased pro-
perty, farms, stock and negroes freely, and kept
a table at a cost of not less than $4,000 per an
mum, on salary Of $66to $40 per month. Be-

A LESSON IN NEEDLE.WORK.

Not sigh was heard, nor word of complaint.
As home to her garrett she hurried;
She was sick with toll aud her soul was faint.
And she seemed to be worn and worried.
She hastened on sadly at dead of night,
Without for a moment turning;
Then working she strained her waning sight.
By rushlight dimly burning.
From her aching eyes hot tears were shed.
But she spoke not word in sorrow;
She gazed on the face of her child unfed,
And anxlously thought of the morrow;
She thought. as she pressed his feverisil hand
And drew her thin shawl around her,
VI the boased freedom of England's land,
And the slavery which ground her!
Not half of her weary task was done;
She had no more coal,for firing;
She fancied she heard some lovely one
Next morning the dress admiring.
Slowly and sadly she laid it down
For the mother was tired and chilly
The work. perhaps, might gain some renown,
But who'd think of her and her WiIIy1
She bent DER the form of her slumbering child, j.
On its wretched pallet lying
