Accounts from Louisiana, state that

the sugar crops for the prostnt year
will be the largest ever prodGeeS in the
State. A much larger belt than ever
before has been put under cultivation,
and the prospects for more than ay.
erage yield to an acre is most encour.
aging. The same favorable accounts
are received from all the cane growing
districts, and offset in some degree The
probability of high prices for tea and
coffee; greater attention is this season
paid to the culture of the cane in con-
sequence of high prices stimulating
each planter to extra exertions.
The cotton crop, which requires a
long beasoh, and d good warm sun, is
not likely to turn out so well as could
be wished. A correspondent of the
New Orleans Price. Current writes,
that q good crop sis hardly attainable
at present"
The Columbia Is. c. Times says,
"crops up here look well. Cotton lie
growing finely"
A letter from Early county, Geor-
gia, speaks of the crop as miserable,
and adds, 81 never saw q, more dreary
prospect. Many are ploughing up
and planting over"
The fruit prospect is excellent. -
Peaches, apples, pears, and, in fact,
fruits of all kinds are coming on finely,
and though backward, the recent gent
al weather is bringing it rapidly for
ward. Tho Trenton Daily Republican
says E.
"The indications are favorable for
o heavy crop of peaches this season.
The backwardness of the season has
tended to this result, as the fritz buds,
fortunately, have not been SO far ad-
vanced as to be liable to injury from
the cold spells lately experienced.
The Cleveland Plaindealer Gays the
prospect for a fine peach crop in the
Lake Shore region is excellent.
The Cincinnati Gazette of late
date, Gays the lovers of fruit may re.
joice in hope. .....E
In regard to the potato crop, ives.
tern Journal says: "The potato CROP
will probably yield more bushels in 18
81 than in any year since 1915. The
rot is fast dying out--a fact that will
increase the value of the yield twenty.
five per cent. The only crop that is
really in danger is the hog crop, and this
is in danger hot because we may have
a small yield Of yellow corn, but be,
cause Of that distemper which broke
out, and was visited with so much ia.
tally upon our gruntors short time
since" ..
On the whole, though the weather
has not been favorable for the develop.
ment Of early vegetables it has been
good in this section of the country fol
the pastures and the grasslands, Which
must have a favorable influence upor
the price of butter and cheese, anG
surely ought also to fay5rably effect
the prices of beef, pork, etc. In word,
everything looks favorable for boun.
tiful harvest. In the words of a CO.
temporary the poor have more to fear
from bad season than from their com.

ANTS; THEIR SENSES AND HABITS.

eco to the ant, thou sluggard," is ad-
vice not only against sluggishuess, but is
applicable to other things particularly as
it relates to what may be accomplished
by the combinations Of individuals nnder
great disadvantages.
The only medium which ants possess
for acquiring or imparting information
appears to be their antenna, or feelers
having neither of the two most useful

until one of them accidentally strayed
within touch of it, when others would soon
follow by feeling their way. ! have

length of an ant, across their trail, and it
embarrassed them they would turn to-

chip with sugar on it, placed near their
trail, and gently removed ii to the opPo-
site side, about a foot off; when they
f.. ished their repast they went feeling
around in every direction, and often re-
turned even when they had got within
two inches of the great thoroughfare
where the multitude was passing they
neither saw norheard them but as soon
as they struck the trail, they took the
homeward course and ceased TO return.
The above experiments were made
with the small red ants When they
first discovered the sugar those returning
from it would extend their atenna to
those they met, make one or two short
, jumps, and the latter would quicken their
pace as if satisfied with the information.
