The state rsnitentiary. 4


ly. We learned by the visit. seyera
new things.
| The establishment is now in The
hands Of The maguanimous State, and
each of her citizens should feel q de.
gree Of responsibility, for ita humane
and proper management.
Since The cotton factory was de-
stroyed by fire last month, the prinoi-
pal force Of the prison, has been giye,,
to the manufacture of bagging and
rope. The hemp Is received here, in
bales, from Kentucky, by regular
shipments, and the article manufao,ur.
ed, ID Of the very best quality II Is
disposed Of through the firm Of 8. M.
HARr d Co., Of this place, and goes
direct to the principal cities in the
Union, where this article is wanted
The average weekly manufacture is
$500 lbs, Of rope, and 1900 yards of
bagging.
The first story of the new building
for the cotton factory Is up, ready for
the joist. Il Is 1856 feet in length; of
solid and substantial masonary. Each
story Is to be open, The whole length
of the building, and about one hun
bred and fifty new cotton looms, will
be set to work within the establish
ment as soon as Ii Is completed. The
brick for the building, are all being
made on the ground by convict labor;
also the brick used in the construction
of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
The number Of prisoners now in the
institution, is very large, and many Of
them have nothing to do. No doubt
this 10 the chief reason, why some fis-
teen or twenty Of them, tried TO get
out, The other day. The brick sheds
rope walk and other buildings outside
the main wall, are in very delapida-
Ted condition--many Of them, ready
to tumble down with decay. The
guard Is small, but composed Of eff
cient and tried men. At the South
gate, where tho break was attempted
the other day, guard Of three, is sta
toned, and when the gate opens to let
out the lumber Wagons, they spring
to their feet cock their guns and
come to a full charge. A negro con-
vict is kept at the gate to open and
close it, who in case of a break, would
stand no better chance than others
In the room, where meals are served, |
we entered. It was near "supper |
time," and that meal was being sery-
ed. The table is board, checkered |
of with numbers corresponding to the
of the cells and the numbers
Of the prisoners. The men march in,
single file; take the tin pans wherein
the meal il served and without knife,
fork or spoon, march off to their cells
to eat IL. What to you suppose it is,
gentle reader What do you suppose
the generous State of Louisiana, feeds
those Of her thieves upon, who have
had the misfortune to be caught p
Mush and Kolasses--wheeled into the
building, ON a wheel barrow, in
tub, and measured out, in tin
dipper. This is, perhaps the most
economical diet, that could be furnish
I'd; but weather or not, il becomes
the State in her Christian mercy, to
treat her erring children in this man
ner, is a matter of doubt. We con-
tend that it is not, and call on a just
and merciful people to sustain, and
maintain us in the position.

The CENSORSHIP IN RoME.--An
English lady Left daughter at Rome,
and on the tomb--which was in the
English Protestant Cemetery-she
wished to have the verse from St. Mat
thew, Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God" inscribed !;
but it appears that some other officer
connected with the censorship entered
the workshop Of the statuary who was
working at the tomb. and forbade him
inscribing more than the first Of the
verse, as he said it was neither right
nor just that heretics should see the
Lord.

THE TIME TO MARRY.

The would-be wise this counsel give
I" Let loves fond passion cool
The man who early weds will live
To think himself fool.
The CALLING chain that frets his limb,
Wears deeper day by day
Experience little teaches him
Who gives the heart its sway;
He wisely weds who wedeth late,
A thrifty, unimpassioned mate"
When wrinkled oaks shall twining cling,
With tendrils like the vine;
When ravens, like the linnet, sing
With melody divine;
When honey drops from withered leaves,
And not from summer flowers;
When winter brings us golden sheaycs-
And snow drift sunny hours;
When truth abused makes falsehood right
Go whitening wed, and find delight.
The trembling notes young birds awake,
Rise sweetly into tune,
As April buds expanding make
The fowery wreath Of June;
So love begun in life's young day,
Natures with manhood's prime
Defes the canker of decay,
And stronger grows with time;
Oh, early quaff loves nuptial wine,
And all that's blest in life is thine.

with short purse may lime five acres.
for the same sum as his long pursed
ncighbor had paid for lining one acre.
The application of this twenty bushels
should be repeated at the beginning of
every rotation. BY such applications of
lime one field may be made to lime another
by its increased products, and thus rem
der what in the abstract is viewed as an
onerous business, an easy one. But let
no one suppose that in lining his land he
has applied all that is necessary in tho
way of lining for such is not the case
he must also apply organic or animal
maEures, and put one or more of his fields
in grass or clover at each succeeding ro-
tation.
Mich Cows-IN-cALF Cows AND

EARLY PoTAToEs. AS soon as the
frost is out of the ground, and it can DO
ploughed and put in first rate order, is
the time to put in early potatoes. The
land must be ploughed, narrowed and
rolled until fine filth be obtained. Cut
, the sets a week before planting them,
dry the sets with plaster and place them
in cool place.
Run burrows six inches deep, put in
, four inches Of long manure, place your
potato sets therein, ten inches apart,
previously have prepared mixture
comprised Of four parts slaked ashes ono
part plaster, one part slaked lime, and
one part salt--give the sets busting
with this mixture, and cover them over
two inches deep. When the potato
plants come up, dust them with this mix
ture. When big enough to work, dust
them again with the mixture, and repeat
the busting at every working, and at in
tervals of week until the vines are out
of bloom. This busting must be done
early in the morning when the vines are
wet.
RooT CULTURE. is too early to put
in field crops of roots for cattle food, and

be smoothed down with drawing-knife;
dress the wounded part with mixture
comprised of equal parts of fresh con-
dung and lime, or with mixture made
of two parts clay, one part lime, and one

advised last month.

A PARADISE FOR LAZY PEOPLE. DR..
Mclean, in lecture recently delivered
at New Orleans on Nicaragua, drew the
following picture Of what could be done
in that country by lazy man who wished
to live independent:
1.-THE government gave him 250acres
Of land, and the first necessity was a
house. This want was quickly supplied
by the placing OF four posts uprightly in
the ground, the spaces between which
were filled in with the common cane,
which grew in abundance around, and
this plastered over with mud. The roof
was then matched with grass, and the
house was thus completed Little or no
furniture was needed, hammock, an
swering all purposes Of bed and scat,
and almost any kind Of earthen vessel
would answer to cook in.
"The next care was TO plant about q
dozen banana or plantain trees, which
needed no further care, and about fifty
wards Of land should be billed and planted
in vans, which If properly placed, would
Weld enormously. The common .frijols
and Lima beans would grow with tho
vans, as well az u variety Of other vege-
tables, and the native fruits Of the coun-
try were almost Indigenous. The PLAN
tains and yams would yield more than
enough for the subsistence Of an entire
family, and game Of every variety could
be shot almost from the door ofthe house.
The climate was such as TO render littlo
or no clothing absolutely necessary, and
thus with one months labor man can
fix himself comfortably for year. Isn't
that the country for lazy manp

Ez7- Thirty years ago a man named
Plummer, living in Maine, burnt the
mill of relative out Of revenge. He
was detected, stabbed the officer who at
tempted to arrest him, and fed to the
Isle Of Holt, on the coast Of Maine, dug
cave and supported himself by hunt
ing and fishing. There he lived for
many years, unseen of any human being.
In 1850 he left his retreat and went o
begging, until in September he died at
Montville 80 years old. His appearance
was most strange, hairy and bearded
He looked like an old Egyptian monk Of
Thebiad.

The following is said to be sure pro-
cess to get rid of caterpillars With a
common gimlet we bored hole into the
body Of a tree, some two inches deep,
perhaps, which we filled with sulphur,
and then plugged up the hole. In u
short time, say forty eight hours, they
were seen crawling about the yard, and
in less than six days not one was to bo
found remaining on the tree. This is a
simple but sure way.

EFT A printer, not long ago, being
flung by his sweetheart, went to the
Office and tried to commit suicide with
the "shooting-stick, but the thing would
not go off. The "devil," wishing to
pacify him, told him to peep into the
saDctum where the editor was writing
duns to delinquent subscribers. lie did
so, and the effect was magical. He says
that picture of despair reconciled him
TO his fate.
