xyHr.Is OF THE WEALTHY.

There is no accounting for the whins
and caprices of the wealthy men OF this
country, who die childless, in the dispo-
sition OF their property. Some times it
happens that the legacies bequeathed
for charitable purposes, fall short Of the
effect and produce almost anything but
what was intended. We do not mean
by this, to say that all such bequests
are so, heaven forbid ! But though wise
and sound judgement may often sug-
gest The disposition of money OF other

..TEE DUTY OF THE SOUTH

In the present state OF political affairs when
q newspaper editor wittdraws from either
of the political parties, there is reason to be-
leye that something is at the bottom OF it.
We had perused with some little attention
the e!fusion headed DUTY Of the South u In
that t,ns5le-set throwing journal, the IberviIle
. Sentinel, anG seeing nothing III it worthy OF
a moments serious consideration, intended
repI wing TO it In a strain Of sarcasm and
ridicule to which it was Justly entitled But
the paper containing the article was filched
from our table and could not be found; we
requested another from that journal, which
by the way, was never sent Consequently
we abstained from any farther notice OF the
: Daty of the South" believing then as We
do now. thati. was bet another of friend
BRADsgrs's tumile-sets which he has shown
himself so peculiarly adapted to. When b.
first hung out his single ii Plaqnemtne he
found that his Democracy--ioF B. was then
a Democrat-would not get him any of the
loaves and fishes, for ibervilie was too in
tensely Wing to tolerate for moment any
thing like Democracy, SO friend B. quietly
pulled IN his Democracy and in few days

property fer charity, to the orphan anc
the widow, it is not always we find tha
it has been Of the benefit intended, be-
ing either hampersd by restrictions or in
such manner rs to be Of little, If any
service. Some old wealthy men in the
disposition OF their property have betray,
ed a whinsica|ity in that disposition,
that it should be- lesson to all future
niilionaires to ascertain well before they
make their wills, as to whether their
charitable donations will be effective or
not Or wh ether such donations though
done with the best intention-wiIl not
produce exactly Tie contrary ofwnat was
intended. We we're led 60 these re-
Elections upon noticing n our Police
Jury Proceedings, the disposition OF the
interest on sum Of Enonev bequeathed
by the late Julien Poydras, 80 be divided
according TO their circumstances, among
the poor and indige4i girls Of our par
ish, who may mary during the year
From all that We can learn in relation
70 this beqnest, it has fallen short Of the
intention Of the generous donor. For
many instances have occurred where
marriages were contracted simpi y for the
sake of SHARE ia the donation, and
when the money had been expended,
t}ey were abandoned. or from other
causes, the marriages were ANYTHING but
happy ones. This has occurred SO often
that it is almost with feelings Of regre,
that the commissioners appointed for the
annual distribution Of this money, ap.
portion it ont amongst the applicants.
We do not wish j, to be understood that
these remarks apply TO all marriages
which have been induced by this Po7-
lras legacy far from it. for we know
that it has benefited some. Yet we
think the evil has more than counter
balanced tie benefits. There are about
ten Or twelve chiidren-poor, and orphan
this parish, IN the Baton
Rouge Female Orphan Asylum, where
some OF them have been fed and cloth
al, for several years, without expense
o this parish, or their friends or refa
ives. The Asylum not being in the
1est of circumstances, requested some
ntle assistance from the parish to help |
support these orphans. Through thaf
mercy OF B. r. CHIN, the Police Jury
donated the sum Of Three Hundred per |
at It's last session towards the |
support of these little sufferers, and we
,nov that it will be increased to an
mount that will fully defray the e1-
,enses Of each os Our children, for the
,ext year. Tie demands upon the tax
'ayers being very heasy, more could
Tot be appropriated this year, with salts,
action. Now suppose that the money
'ivided out annually, among the indl-
tent girls Of the parish as marriage por-
ions, could be applied to the relief Of
be orphans, widows and lndigents of our
arish, would not greater blessing be
onferred !! Undoubtedly! Great benes
is have been derived from the Poydras
asylum in New Orleans, and in that,
ii. Poydras acted we'll and wisely.

SMUT IN WHEAr-Much has been said and
written about smut. Many experiments have
been resorted to discover its canse. The most
enlightened inference seems to be that it is a
disease, but what, and how cured, are the
important questions. We do not dispore a
discussion of the subject, but only to quote
from the Wisconsin Farmer the experience OF
a wheat grower. He says:
AS have ever, in regard to all diseases
considered an ounce of presentation equal to
pound of cure, have, from careful inves
tigation become satisfied that the most fruit,
full source of smut is the heating of the seed in
the now With this view, my preventative
for some years past has been to let my wheat
for seed stand until quite ripe for cutting, and
then advise to put it on scaffold until
fully cured Since have practiced. this mode
of saving seed, have no smut in my wheat
although my neighbors complain of their
wheat shutting. Valley Farmer.

THE SUGAR BEEr-A mechanic having a
COW, and but small piece of ground to de-
rive the means of sustaining her, cannot do
much better than to plant portion or the
whole of it with sugar beets. He will in this
way secure more salutary aliment for his ami
NAL than in any other way, and at a loss ex-
pense. From eight to thirteen hundred bush
els have been taken from an acre, and in sew
eral cases, the crop has amounted to fifteen
hundred. The roots attain large size and
nutritious and wholesome Swine fat rapidly
on boiled bects, and the pork made an on this
food is said to be more solid than that on po-
tatoes or any other root We would advise
every one this season to put in small plot of
this vegetable, and give it a trial~Ncw Eng
