Louisiana Intelligence.

From the Caddo Gazette of the 2lst we extract
the following paragraphs:
Two fine rains fell here on Monday and Tuesday
last, which have rendered the atmosphere much
more pleasant and comfortable, and have been Of
considerable advantage to planters. With late
fall, the cotton crop may yet prove abundant-at
least it is to be hoped so.
There have been no arrivals at our wharf in sew
eral weeks /" Old Red y being as low as it usually
gets to be.
We learn from party just from Spring Ridge,
that Mr.. V. D. Metcalfe, respected citizen of this
parish, committed suicide there on Wednesday
last. 1t appears that lie put smallpiece of wood
against the trigger of shot gun, placed the muz-
zle to his breast, touched the piece Of wood with
his foot, and the contents OF the gun were dis
charged into his breast Temporary alteration of
the mind is the assigned for the fatal calam-
ity. He leaves awife and family and large num-
Der of sympathizing friends and acquaintances to
mourn his untimely end.
The Ouachita Register of the 10th, says:
We have had several quite refreshing showers Of
rain since our Issue: but we fear they came too
late to do much good to crops.
The North Louisiana Baptist, of the 1911, has the
following
Corn can be little benefited: it is failure. Cot
ton has grown but little for a month past and is
much injured. The smallest we ever saw in the
middle of July. Nevertheless, it will now grow
apace, and may, with late fall make fair yield
The pea crop is mainly yet to be planted, and o.
course will be too late to mature well, excep
some quick-growing varieties, not generally cul
tivated.
Last week was excessively warm, the mercury
ranging, in the hottest part Of the day, at from

reach 106o. With this temperature marble table

INDEPENDENCE, July 24.-The New Mexican Mail,
with dates to the 9th inst, arrived to-day inside
ofschedne time. There have been copious showers
of rain in Santa Fe for ten days and crops were
looking finely, and will yield an abundant harvest.
The fire in the mountains near Santa Fe did an i'm
mense amount Of damage. and several lives were
lost. -Four dead bodies have been recovered.
The census-takers in New Mexico find great
difficulty in getting the Mexicans TO answer 1ues-
tioDs, they thinking it is done for the purpose of
taxing them. The Governor has issued his procla-
nation explaining the object. The news from the
Arizona gold mines is not good, owing to the fact
that no water is to be had.
James S. Collins, Indian Agent, has published a
card in the Santa Fe Gazette, defending his official
acts i'll reference to the Navaioe Indians.
Provisions are very scarce, and command very
high prices -four selling at $l4 per sack, and
scarce. Other provisions in proportion. THIS
coach brought all the etter-ma which, for some
time back, has been sent via the Overland Califor-
MA mail. By this route. letters will get to their
destination ten days sooner than by the other. No
Indians were seen but few kaws. They said
that band of kiowas had been at Cow.Creek,
awaiting the mail for the purpose of robbing it,
but were driven off by a company of soldiers from
Texas, who were en- route for Pawnee Fork.
Major Sedgewick's command, some time in June,
came in sight of large encampment Of Indians,
but not being prepared for battle, before they
could get ready the Indians left. There has been
no rain this side of Fort Union, and the water
courses are very low. Stock suffers for want of
water. The weather here is pleasant.

HONOR TO WHOM HoNoR Is DuE.-WLile the
steamer Sunny Side stood by the wreck of the un
fortunate Ben Lewis, making every effort to rescue
her unfortunate passengers and crew, the second
chard got out the yawl, and while the former was
sculling Buehard managed to pick up twelve men.
After saving their lives, he saw lady sinking in
place where the boat could not be taken. At the
risk Of his life he made way to her over broken
spars and planks, and returned her to the boat,
where she learned that her child whom she thought
drowned, had been rescued. Some of Buchard's
friends remarking that no credit had been given
him for his noble act, he replied good naturedly,
"Well, it amt worth while to thank Dutchman.n
We hope, however, that he will learn that acts of
noble daring are honored by men Of all nations.

tells the following dog story:
A good friend of ours, living few miles from
townW. j. Nunn-everyb knows him--told US
a few days ago of a remarkable dog OF his lie is
small dog rather on the ice order, but for three
years, with only three or tour exceptions, rain or
shine, hot or cold, with company or without it, he
has not failed to attend divine service every Sab
bath at the neighboring church. He seems to
know instineGgely when the time comes. 1t hap
pened once that the dog had gone in the carly part
Of the week to spend few days at the house of a
relative Of Mr. Gunns, some miles from home.
When Saturday evening came, however, he weut
Eome, and as usual on the next morning presented
himself at church. And it makes no difference
whether any Of the family go to church Or not, he
is aways at his post. Moreover, wien there, he
behaves himself as good dog should. He stations
himself near the door, and if any profaue hog or
Cow comes rambling TOO rear, lie as naiseIessiy as
possible drives them away. And what is remark
able, considering, the customs prevailing in many
OF our churches, he has never been seen to laugh
or talk, try to attract attention or disturb tile
service during all the time.

How each night he seeks his closet,
There, alone, to kneel and pray.
Tell us he resembles Jackson,
Save he wears larger boot,
And is broader cross the shoulders,
And taller by foot.

How TO SAVE A DROWNING PERsoN.-It may not
generally be known that when person is drown
ing if he is taken by the arm from behind between
the elbow and shoulder, he cannot touch the per-
son attempting to save him, and whatever strug.
giles he may make will only assist the person hold
ing him in keeping his head above water. A good
swimmer can keep man thus above the water for
an hour. If seized anywere else, the probability
is that he will clutch the swimmer, and perhaps,
as il often the case both will be drowned
