DAFFY-DOWN OILY.

"Daffy down dilly
Is now come to town
With petticoat green,
& And a bright yellow gown,
And her little white blossoms
Are peeping around
MoTHrR GoosE
Now don't yoa call this,
Almost exquisite thing'
Don't itsgive you q THRU
With the thought Of the spring,
Such as once, in yonr childhood,
You felt when you found
The first yellow butter-cups
spangling the ground?
When the lilac was fresh
With it's glory Of leaves,
And the swallows came futtering
Under. the caves =
When the blue-bird flashed BY
Like . magical thing,
And you looked for 4 fairy
Astride Of his wing I
When the clear, running water,
Like tingling Of bells,
Bore along the bare roadside &
A song Of the del!s,
And the mornings we're fresh
M With unfailing delight,
While the sweet summer hush
Arrays came with the night!
0 daffy-down dilly,
With robings soldl
As our heads every year
To your coming unfold,
And sweet memories stir
- Through the hardenieg mould,
We feel how earth's blossomings
Surely are given
To keep the soul fresh
For the springtime Of heavenl

Cotton and its Influences.

traordnary increase in the culture Of cotton in the
United States, from its feeble beginnings in Viz.

well as in Italy, to its spread into Maryland, ths
Carolinas and Georgia, where 1t ives cultivated ia

Napoleon's War Horse.

Everybody has seen copy, in some
form, of the famous painting, " Napoleon
crossing the Alps and everybody doubt
less remembers the noble-looking white
horse in the foreground, which bears
upon his back the young general of the
army of Italy, who leans upon the neck
of his rearing steed, and points to the
long lines of soldiers climbing by tortu-
Gus paths the steep and rocky passes OF
the Alps This horse is not mere ar
lists idea but was intended as portrait
of Napoleons horse Superb. This beautl-
full animal was a light grey Arabian,
about l5a hands high, slightly, but com
pactly built, possessing remarkable IN
teligence and great muscular power,
combined with nervous active temper
ament, and strong, vigorous constitu-
ton.
Superb was a great favorite with
Napoleon, and accompanied him IN many
of his most successful campaigns. In
1918, during the disastrous retreat from
Moscow, he was captured by the Rus
sian general Orloff who kept him at St.
Petersburg till 1891, when he was pre-
sented to the father of NJ. Tourmiaire,
then manager of. the imperial circus,
passionate lover and accomplished train
er Of horses, and we'll known for his de-
voted attachment to the memory of the
great Napoleon Gen. 0rloff, in pre-
senting the horse, said: "Jacques Tour
miaire, you were greatly attached to the
late Emperor Of the French, and your
attachment honors you. You axe known
to be favorite of horses; and, satisfied
of the care he will receive at your hands,
to you l confde this, my greatest favo-
rite. Superb is too slight for my use.
# have grown too heavy for him. To
seh him to strange master is a fateto
which. cannot think of subjecting him,
TO you, therefore, I intrust him, and as
you loved him to whom he first belonged,
you will, | am sure, cherish Superb for
the memory of his owner, as we'll as for
his own sake" The horse was we'll
cared for by his new master, who brought
him upon the stage, and taught him to
perform some light parts in pieces per-
formed in the circus. Jacques Tourmi-
aire died in 1889, and left Superb to his
son, who treated the veteran still with
the tenderest care He was subsequent
ly exhibited in London and other large
cities. .r. l--4
Several years since we read short
history of this horse, published in an
English journal, and if our memory
serves us well, it was stated that he
was foaled in 1902, and died in 184l,
having lived to the extraordinary age
of thirty-nine years. Am. Stock Joar-

TRAPPING A T1cER--A still more ingc-
nious mode Of tiger killing is that which
is employed by the natives of Oude.--
They gather number of the broad
leaves of the prauss tree, which much
resembles the sycamore, and having
we'll besmeared them with kind of bird
lime, the strew them in the animals way,
taking care to lay them with the pre-
pared side uppermost. Let tiger but
put his paw upon one of those innocent
looking leaves, and his fate is settled.
Finding the leaf stick to his paw, he
shakes it, in order to rid himself of the
nuisance, and finding that plan unsuc-
cessful, he endeavors to attain his OBJ
,ject by rubbingit against his face, there
by smearing the ropy birdlime over his
nose and eyes, and gluing the eye1ids
together By this time he has probably
trodden upon several more Of the treach.
erous leaves, and is bewildcred with the
novel inconvenience; then he rolls ON
the ground, and rubs his head and face
on the earth, in his efforts to get free.
By SO doing be only adds fresh birdlime
to his head, body, and limbs, agglu.i-
mates his sleek fur together in unsightly
tufts, and finishes by hoodwinking him
self so thoroughly with leaves and bird
lime, that he lies foundering on the
ground, tearing up the earth with his
claws, uttering howls Of rage and dis
may, and exhausted by the impotent
struggles in which he has been SO long
engaged These cries are signal to
the authors of his misery, who run to
the spot, armed with guns, bows, and
spears, and find no difficulty IN despatch
ing their blind and wearied foe. Rout-

TO COTTON PLANTERS.

7 HAVE bought the patent of Messrs. W. F. &
i T. J. Provosts Iron Screw and Le-
YER Press, for the Parishes of East and West
felciana and Pointe Coupee. This press is now
ahead Of all others in use, for durability econo-
my, strength. &C.; aud it is the same that took the
premium at the Mississippi State Fair, in 1858.
The Fale Of the patent Of this celebrated Press
for the different counties in the Southern States
has been unprecedented; and it is generally pre-
tlicted that in a few years they will supercede
all other cotton Presses known.
word az to the cost of these presses It has
been proven beyond the least possibility of a
doubt, that there has never been Press invented
that can begin to compare with this one for cheap
ness Therefore. if there is anything in economy
they must certainly fad great favor with the cot
ton planting portion Of our community. They
seldom get out of repair, areseasiiy fixed, and
taking all things into consideration, no Press
has ever been thought of by any mechanic, that
ls destined to prove of so greata benefit to the
cotton planter as '.Prorost's Iron Screw and Lee
yer Press'
In the language of the Messrs. Provost, ave
claim for this Press many advantages over all
the Presses in use The Press is well adanted to
any style Of Gin House, as it can be worked in
or out Of the lint room taking up but little space
requires but little timber and must be durable
sas oil Of its working parts are Of iron of great
power, as it combines both the lever and the
screw, and 50 simple that the negroes can work
It with dispatch. We can press any weight Of
bales required withca
AS 1t IS more easy to convince persons of the
superiority OF this press by showing it in full
operation this Is to let planters know that have
one in Bayou Sara, and will take pleasure in
showing it to any who may desire to purchase.
will also contract to put up these Presses on
any plantation IN the parishes Of Pointe coupee
and East and West Feliciana. Orders particu-
iariy desired, as | wish to show planters the
great superiority of Provost Press over ali others
IN existence. jell. II. TENNEY,
