ginning to ag'ta,e the question of rerlae.
ing a Judge in ,be sea, recently vacated
BY Hon. D. D. AVERY. We are now in
a new District-so placed y the last ap-
portionment-a District comprising four
parishes, in which, so far as West Baton
Rouge is concerned, there is but little
identity o. interest or feeling. 1t is al
most needless to say that the appor,ion-
ment, in this respect. is far from s%stistac-
tory to u people. 1t is not too late yet
to remedy the matter, which We have no
doubt can be done, If our representatives
in the General Assembly will urge its
importance before that body. Connect
ed, as We were, with the parishes Of East
Baton Rouge and Ibe,viIle for so mary
years, there has grown up a sympathy
between us which will be unpleasant 80
sever, and none will feel its severance more
keenly than our own citizens. and in
more ways than one. IL the old Dist
trict, the citizens Of the three parishes
were within, Two hours ride Of the Judges
residence, $ o that in a case requiring his
presence, he could be consulted al almost
any time without d.tri,nent or but l,ltie
cost to parties. Placed in the new Dist
riot, and how will il BE- with a Judge re-
siding in say the parish Of Av"yelIes
1t will cost time and money to reach the
residence Of his Honor, while the delav
might prove extremely injurious to those
requiring his services A thousand we'll
founded and substantial reasons can be
urged in favor Of the proposition to re-
main in the cid District, the least Of
which are those above cited !; VET. they
alone, are Of sufficient Importance to
command the interest of t: 9 Assembly.
We have received MANY assurance that
the same feeling prevails extensively in
the parishes Of East Baton Rouge and
'b~rvilIe, i" regard to retaining the Dist
riot as it was, and we have no doabt that
the representatives of those parishes in
the Assembly will use their influence to
effect a contamination Of SO much i'm.
portance to our respective communities
If the press Of the District will take the
matter properly in hand, with the assi,-
lance OF our representatives, there is no
doubt but that our wishes wishes will be
yielded to by the Assembly.

now betooves all Der citizens to lay aside
all party questions and transfer to her,
with whole hsssrt and soul, the alleg'-
ance they were wont to pay to the Unit

be to avert if possible a civil war. There

man of nerve and heart will turn aside

to foresee the evils that y civil war would
entail upon every section Of this country.

condition Of our tu-lay must

we exhibit at home, to the black Republi-
cans, the spectacle Of a house divided

grow strong in the mind Of Lincoln and
his associates, and we may be plunged

world ever witnessed. Let us hope that

Reproduction.

This Is perhaps one of the greatest c,ificsi-
tics in the economy Of nature. If crab or
lobster lose leg, another will be reproduced !;
an earthworm may be cut in two, and each
part will become perfect worm and Poly
pc "a marine insect, us also the Hirudo pirides
(the green leech,) may be cut in thousand
pieces, and each part will become perfect
animal. In the vegetable kingdom We find
almost every portion Of branch or stem,
with latent buds often invisible to the naked
eye, so that any portion Of them containing
these buds will, when placed in a proper con-
dition, produce plant or tree like that from
which it was taken. Nay, even every leaf
of many plants is capable Of producing a
perfect plant in all respects similar to the
one upon which it is produced. NJ Regnier
attempted to 60 even further; by dcprivng
flowers Of their sexual organs, he discovered
in some cases that they had attempted to re-
produce these organs, and he stated before
the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris that
some of the flowers he experimental upon
threw out filamcnts from the wounded parts
Of different lengths, but it does not appear
from his experiments that anthers were form
ed. Nevertheless, he asserts that some OF
the flowers bore seeds.--,Scottish Farmer and

Strength Of q Kind Word.

Some people are very apt to use harsh, an
cry words, perhaps because they think they
will be obeyed more promptly. They talk
loud. swear and storm, though after all they
arc only laughed at; their orders are forgot.
and their i'll temper is remembered. How
strong is kind word! 1t will do what the
harsh word or even blow cannot do it will
subdue the stubborn will, relax the frown,
and work wonders. Even the dog, the cat,
or the horse, though they do not know what
you say, can tell when you speak kind to
them. A man was one day driving cart
along the street. The horse was drawing a
heavy load, and did not turn as the man
wished him. The man was in ill-temper
and beat the horse; the horse reared and
plunged, but he either did not or would not
60 in the right way. Another man who was
with the cart went up to the horse, and pat
ted him on the neck, and called him kindly
by his name. The horse turned his head
and fixed his large eye on the man as though
he would say, " will do anything for you
because you are kind to ~ and bending
his broad chest against the load, turned the
cart down the narrow lane, and trotted on
briskly as though the load were plaything.
Oh, how strong is kind word
