.1y- The growth and magnitude of the
sugar culture in Louisiana may be illustra-
ted by ranking the aggregate of each fire
years, during the last twenty, and comparing
them:
From 1884 to 1889, 100000 hhds
From 1889 10 1874, 6l70OO "
From 1874 to l849, I,O34573
From lS49to 1854, ,Gnclu'e) l,565,633 "
This shows growth in each period of rs
per cent, 40 per cent, and 50 per cent.
The sugar culture of Louisiana and Texas
is now increasing the rate of ten per cent
per annum, and the annual crop after this will
scarcely be less than 100000 hogsheads per
annum. t'f.

matter, to be decided upon by the reconstruc-
tive special Philadelphia National Council of
the 18th February, is whether the uniform
law of the Order shall be the admission of
native Catholics, ms in Louisiana, or the ad-

Mr.. Boris AND His PLATFoRM.-The
Richmond (Va) Wing gives the following
as the Presidential platform of Mr.. Bolts
and the American Councils of Richmond
that have nominated him for the Presiden-
cy:-
l. We believe that Congress possesses the
constitutional power to abolish slavery in the
Distric. of Columbia. ....
2. We believe in the constitutionality of
the Wilmot proviso-that is, in the conslitu-
tional power of Congress to prohibit slavery
in the Territories.
3. We believe that Congress possesses
the constitutional power to reject any slave
State applying for admission into the Un-
ion, upon the ground that il is n slave State.
A. We insist that the entire question of
slavery and Southern rights shall be e"ignored"
in all future conventions and platforms of the
American party. ...'
S. We believe in the "immaculatc con.
ception" Of John Minor Bolts, and prefer him
to any other man in the world for the Pres-
dency.
Now, if this really is the platform of Mr..
Dotts (and we believe it is not very wide of
the mark) we fear that he will not be NOM
mated at Philadelphia, for the Know Moth
ings of the North holding such principles
will be very apt to go to Plttsburg to aid in
the deliberations of the Seward abolition
alliance. Mr.. Bolts, however, is young
enough and strong enough to wait till 1860.
He is behind time for tho impending cam
paiGn.

Young Lady Drawn in a Lottery

Nearly year ago, a young lady In
France, named Sophia Van Behr, conceiv-
ed the singular idea ofdi>poSing ofhcrself
in marriage by means of q lottery. She
was thirty years old, tired of life of cell
bacy. and in desprir at not finding hus
band with enough means at his command
to suit her views. She announced, there
fore, that her h; ndsome but rather ma
ture person should be disposed OF on the
following terms. She created lottery,
with five hundred shares OF IA thousand
francs each. Subscribers were to present
themselves in person, in order that she
might decide ON their acceptebility as
husband. The subscribers. IF course,
were to be single men. The subscrip-
tions were placed in the hands of noia-
ry as fast as made, and the drawing was
not to take place till all the shares were
taken-that is, when the sum of half I.
million francs was complete.
Not quite year elaps, d before the
shares were all taken. The drawing re-
gently took place in the Office of the nota-
~, who held the subscriptions and the
money, in presence of two magistrates.
A thousand numbers We're placed in an
urn, the subscribers being numbered in
order as their names were inscribed. The
urn was thoroughly shaken up, blind
hand thfskt in and No 400 Withdrawn.
No 499 was Tunisan General, who had
already occupied the public attention by
by his oriental caprces. But the lady
was neither frightened at tn turban, nor
the b, ard, nor the religion. nor the ha-
rem of tie happy barbarian, who hasten
ed to marry her, and to pocket his FIVE
hundred thousand farncs. The happy
couple have left for Tunis, where they
will reside.--Poris Cor. " Y Times.
