PERE ANTOHNE's DATE PALM
Legend OfNew Orleans.
BY Il. d. ALDRICH.

..s CHAPTER miss BADEAU.
1t is useless to disguise the fact; Miss Ba-
deau is a rebel.
Mr. Beauregard's cannon had not done bat
tering the walls of Sumpter, when Miss Ba-
deau was packed up, labelled, and sent north,
where sho has remained ever since in sort OF
aromatic, rose colored state of rebellion.
4 She is not one of your blood-thrsty rebels
you know; she had the good sense to shrink
with horror from the bare mention OF those hca-
thens who, at Manassas and elsewhere, wreak-
ed their unnanly spite on the bodies OF dead
heroes still she is a bitter little rebel, with
blonde hair, superb eyelashes, and two broth
ers in the Confederate serv1ce,--ifI may be al
lowed to club statements. When look across
the narrow strait of our boarding house table,
and observe what handsome wretch she is,
begin TO think that if Mr.. Seward doesn't pres
emily take her in charge, shall.
The preceding paragraphs have little or
nothing to do with what I am going to relate
they merely illustrate how wi Idly fellow will
write when the eyelashes Of pretty woman
get tangled with his pen So let them stand,
as g W arning.
Ny exorSium should have taken this shape
~ hope and trust" remarked Miss Badeau,
in that remarkably Gcathing tone which she as
sunes in abiding TO the U. S. A, II hope and
trust, that when your FIVE hundred thousand
men, more or less capture ny New Orleans,
they will have the good taste not to iRjnre Pere
Antoine's date palm"
"Not a hair of its head shall be touched i
replied, without having the faintest idea OF
what she was talking about.
"Ah! l hope not,' she said.
There was a certain tenderness in her voice
which struck me.
Who is Pere Antoine ?" ventured to ask.
3" And what is this tree that seems to interest
you so2' e-..
Il will tell you"
Then Miss Badeau tod me the following ie-
oend, which I think worth writing down. If it
should appear tame to the reader it will be be-
cause I haven't black ribbed silk dress, and
strip of point lace around my throat, like
Miss Badeau; it will be because haven't her
eyes and lips and music to tell it with ,confSuld

Near the Ieree (quay) and not far from the
old French Cathedral, in New Orleans, stands
fine date palm, some thirty feet high growing
out in the open air as sturdily as if its roots
were sucking sap from their native earth Sir
Charles Lyell, in his Second Visit to the Uni
ted States" mentions this exotic: The tree
is seventy or eighty years old, for Pere An
tome, Roman Catholic priest, woo died about
twenty years ago told Mr.. Bringer that he had
planted it himself, when he was young. Ia
his will he provided that they who succeeded
to this lot of ground should forfeit, if they cut
down the palm.
Wishing to learn something Of Pere Antoine'S
history, Sir Chas. Lyeil made inquiries among
the aneieft Creole inhabitants of she tanb0urg.
That the old priest, in his last days, became
very much emaciated, that he gradually dried
I'D, and finally blew away, was the measre re-
suit of the tourist Investigations.
This isall that is generally known Of Pere
Antoine. Miss Badeau's story clothes these
bare facts.
When Pere Antoine was very young man,
he had friend whom he loved as he loved his
| ewes. Emile Jardin returned his passion, and
| the two, OH account of their friendship, be
came the marvel Of the city where they dwelt
One was never seen without the other; for
they studied, walked, ate and slept together.
An inc and Emile were preparing to entel
the church; indeed they had tax en- the prelim
mary steps, when circumstance occurred
which changed the color of their lives.
/ A foreign lady, from some far off island il
the Pacific had few months before moved in
to their neighborhood. The lady died suddenly
leaving a girl of sixteen or seventeen entirel,
friendess and unprovided for. The young mel
had been kind to the woman during her illness
and at her death, melting With pity at the for
lorn situation of AngHce, the daughter, swor
between themselves to love aud watch over he
as if she were their sister.
Now Anglice had wild, strange beauty, tia
made other women seem tame beside her; an
in the course of time the young men foun
themselves regarding their ward not so muc
like brothers as at first. They struggled wit
their destiny manfaily, for the holy orders the
were about to assume precluded the idea {
love.
But every day taught them to be more fon
iof her. SO they drifted on. The weak like t
temporize.
One night Emile Jardin and Angce wer
not to be found. They had fown-but whithe
nobody knew, and nobody, save Antoine caret
1t was heavy blow to Antoine-for he ha
half made up his mind to run away with he
himself
A slip of paper slipped from a volume 0
Antoine's Desk, and futtered at his feet.
.sDo not be angry said the bit of paper,pi
eously 'forgi1e us, for nee lone.
Three years went by. Antoine had entere
the church and was already looked upon as
rising man but his face was pale and his hea

THE LATE Col. ELLETT.-The announce
ment is made of the death of Col. Charles
Elicit, at Cairo on Saturday 1t will be re-
membered that he commanded the ram Flotilla
during the engagement off Memphis and in his
anxiety to have the boats succeed in their mis-
sion, he thoughtlessly exposed himself aufl re
ceived severe wound in his ankle, which, it
seems, proved fatal.
Charles Elicit was a civil engineer of consid-
cradle note, and had been at various times
connected with the construction of public works
in most of the middle and western states
The temporary track of the Virginia Central
Railroad across the Blue Ridge was laid under
his supervision. When the war broke out, he
was residing in Washington, and projected a
plan for capturing the rebel forces at Manassas,
which he submitted TO the War Department
and Gen. Mcclellan. 1t not being approved,
he speedily published couple of pamphlets,
containing bitter criticisms on Gen. Mcclellan 5
me thOd of operations and his qualifications as
military commander. These brought him
into notoriety He next turned his attention
| to the campaign on the Mississippi, and sub
united plans of rams to the Navy Department.
| Obtaining no hearing, be submitted them to the
War Department, which agreed to pay for them
ifthey shonld prove successful Mr.. Elicit then
constructed them under bis own supervision,
and was made Colonel in order that he could
hold command Of the persons manning them.
They proved a splendid success, and reflected
great credit on the inventor, who, by virtue of
this, leaves behind him an enviable reputa-
ton

CoRRUPTIoN IN HIGH PLACEs.--Senator
Simmons, of Rhode Island, has been exposed
in a most disgraceful transaction. AS Sens-
tor and the Chairman OF one important Commit
tee, and a Rlember of others, Mr.. Simmons was
able TO exert high influence at the War Depart
meut and did exert it. The result was the al.
lotment Of a very profitable contract for Spring
field muskets TO . friend of the Senator, for
which the friend was charged by the Senator q
commission of $50, 600 and the commission was
paid. The facts are brought out by the Con.
tract Investigating Committee, and are admit
ted by Mr.. Simmons to be correct.
He ought to be promptly expelled from the
body he has disgraced.

SALT E0R CABBAGEs.-A correspondent last

use Of dressing Of salt for turnips. Last year
tested the value of salt on cabbages. l wat
cred them some two or three times week with
salt water, which contained about fifteen grains
of saAt to the pint. The cabbage grew beau
tifully, and headed up very finely while those

quantities, as the salt water. do not know
how strong solution of salt the caHAage would
bear without injury, but l am fully satisfied
chat a solution ne stronger than used is de-
cidedly beneficial We are familiar with the
fact that it is decidedly fatal to cold blooded
animals. This desirable property makes it
doubIy valuable to csbbagss, which suffer great

A ealthy lady had tickling in her throat, and
thought that biistle of her tooth brush had gone
down and lodged IN her gQ!et, Her throat daily
grew worse. 1t was badly inhamed and she sent
for the family doctor. He examined it carefully,
and finally assured her that nothing was the mat
ter-it was a mere nervous deusion, he said
Still her throat troubled her, and she became so
much alarmed, that she was sure she should die
friend suggested that she should call in DR.
Jones, young man ust commencing practice
She did not at first like the ideas but finally con
scented and Dir. Jones was called. he was per-
son of good address and polite manners. He
looked carefully at her throat, asked her several
questions as to the sensation at the seat of the
alarming malady, and finally announced that he
thought he could relieve her. On his second Wis
it he brought with him delicate pair of forceps
in tho teeth of which he had inserted a bristle
taken from an ordinary teoth brush, The rest
can be imagined. The lady threw back her head;
the forceps were introduced into her mouth; a

VALUE OF SooT AS A MANURE.-In re-
Spouse to an enquiry relative to the worth OF
SCOT as a manure the Working Farmer replies:
Its chief component is carbon, and in SO di
videa form as to be nearly equal to solution
in water. As SCOT is formed on the side of
chimney, thousands ofcubic feet of atmosphere
are passing over it, much dilated by heat, and
containing ammonia tins is absorbed by SCOT,
the fine carbon retaining the ammoria, and IN
condition not defined by chemistry, Out certain
ly known in practice to havel high value. In
England the SCOT from both coal and bitumin-
Gus coal is habtually saved, and many farmers
buy it largely. In this country SCOT, in COM
mon with many other valuable substances, is
wasted Some English farmers use thousands
of bushels annually, and with great profit, apply
ing twenty-five to fifty bushels per acre. Its
great value, however, is for the compost heap,
where it not only absorbs new quantities of am
monia, but assists in iBsuring that kind OF de-
cay of woody fibre known as ermGcGuois, and
arresting the putrid fermentation which FREE
quently is SO violent as to cause the ldss of
much of the volatile products, producing the
condition known as fire fang ing SCOT may
also be used like other finely divided Black
powders, for busting over young turnips and
other plants infested with the turnip fly, and
after performing this Office, it will find its way

From the Working Farmer
friend in whose powers OF observation we
have confidence, and who is an exact experiment
er, informs us that last spring and summer ~
made the following experiments: he uaDsPia"'
ed ton cherry trees while in blossom, commencing
at forr o'clock in the afternoon and transplantng
one each hour. until one in the morning. Those
+ronsnlanted during daylight shed their Blossoms,
nrodncing little or no fruit. while those planted
during the darker portions maintained their con-
ditiou fully. He did the same with ten dwarf
near trees after the fruit was one third grown
Those transpanted during the day shed their
fruit; those transpanted during tie night perfect
ed the crop and showed no injury from having
been removed With each of these trees he re-
moved some earth with the roots.
We are well aware that when plants are acci-
dentaly frozen in green houges it is customary to
render the house dark before applying cold water
to thaw them and that when this is not observed
they are injured, while, if entire darkness be Sc
curod during the operation, many of them are
saved. But this experiment of our friend seems
to have but little analogy to this fact and it Is en-
trely new to US.
We shall be glad TO receive information on Thu
su fieet from orr readers, and hope that numerous
kindred experiments Will be made during the com
ing season. EsuI
