The Louisiana Sugar Crop.

1t is stated there are more plantations in
cultivation this year than has generally been
supposed. The estimates which have been
made as to the probable yield are, however,
very wide apart, as are those which have
come under our notice in reference to the
cotton crop They all fall amentably short
OF former yields, owing to the causes which
affect the agricultural interests in common
with the other interests of the South. Not
withstarding however, these diminished esti-
mates, all circumstances taken into consi,iera- :
ton, they are said to be encouraging The
maximum and minimum probable yield in
the account before US, is put down at 100000
ana 10000 hogsheads, which is wide sepa-
ration The minimum estimate IN regarded a>
sustained by the fact that the cane is small and
has not had that care in its cultivation which,
under more favorable circumstances, would
have been bestowed upon it. The same DIFF
ticuty in the procurement Of the requisite
labor has been experienced, which has exis-
tel elsewhere in regard to other agriculture!
pursuits, and if the labor supply can be OBJ
tanned in the next year it is said the defects
Of the present year crop will be remedted
The opinion is expressed that the negro en-
gagged upon the washed lands is becoming inn
pressed that they are more remuneratiye and
with an increased certainty Of reimburse
ment, besides requiring diminished amount
Of labor on the cane in comparison with that in
the cotton field. This preference for labor on
field is said to be fact while at the same
time, it is admitted that grumblers are to be
found even in the preferred employment
when any extra work is required to be per
formed

A Funny Gift Entor-
prises and Matrimony.

A gentleman Of this city, not exactly
young man, nor yet an old one, overheard
an irish servant girl at the house which
he honored as boarder, discussing with
fellow servant the propriety Of invest
ing dollar in the Gift Enterprise. She
declared she had " dhrame,' and that in
dream she purchased No. 639l in lotte-
ry, and that number was the identical one
which drew the big prize, and she was de-
termined to try her luck if she could get
that particular number, to test whether
dreams were really warning. for good or
evil, or not.
The drawing took place some months
after, and the gentleman was surprised on
reading the list to find that 6391 was in
reality the lucky number, and that it had
absolutely drawn the first prize of $lO,-
600. He was staggered for moment,
but, recovering, reviewed the situation.
Mary was fine looking girl, and with
proper education and training, would
make as good a lady as the best. Sup
pose he should marry her! The idea
pleased him, and that evening he took the
preliminary steps. He proposed; she as
spred herself that he was in earnest, ac-
cepted, and they were privately married.
So far so good. The next thing to get
hold of was the $4,000. He delicately
told her of her good fortune, and asked
for the ticket, that he might send it to
Chicago and realize the greenbacks there
on. Mary was astonished-not only as
tonished, but sorry likewise, was the new
ly-made misunderstanding and sorry
when Mary informed him it was true
she did dream that 6391 would draw q
prize, and that she did want to send for it,
and had determined to do so; but that af-
ter the letter was written, his arguments
against lotteries, and his assurance that
she Vas throwing away her money, made
such an impression upon her that she tore
up the letter and repocketed her dollar.
90 what fall was there p Our friend
had wife, but no $4,000. He was to
some extent victimized, but he determined
10 make the most of it. He did not be-
tray his disappointment, neither did he let
her knew how much he felt the loss Of
:" that he had not" but turned the matter
off pleasantly, as a high-toned gentleman
would. He discovered that he had an af-
fection for his wife--more for her than
for the SO 000-and his plans were form
ed on the spot. The young wife is now
at an educational institution in Michigan,
receiving the polish deemed necessary in
society, that she may move in the sphere
of which her husband is an ornament
Sensible man There is no doubt that he
has secured good wife, and if he missed
in one lottery, he drew a prize in another.

! With this diversion in his favor, the Sec
ond warrior prepared to take the leap es-
sayed by his predecessor. With the
spring of tiger, the fierce end wary saw
age darted toward the coveted rock but
the same unseen hand intercepted his Ca
reer; and turning complete somersault
in the air, his body rolled down the de-
elivity to join that Of his companion.
This last mysterious sacrifice struck dis
may TO the hearts of the assailants, who,
it being now sunset, withdrew to devise
new modes of attack---a respite which
came seasonably to the scouts, wearied. as
they were, by the protracted and unequal
conflict
II was now that the absence of the girl
was first discovered; and the pioneers
supposed she had either fled through ter
ror TO her former captors, or had been
killed in the fight. But they were not
long left in suspense; for in a few mo-
h'Nh'c VIC oiJNNt VI tiicii cuHJCCtulCS was
seen emerging from the cover of rock.
carrying rifle in her hand. In the heat
of the contest, she had seen a warrior fall
some fifty yards in advance of the main
body; and crouching in the underground,
she hsd crept to the spot unobserved, and
secured his rifle and ammunition. Her
practised eye had not failed to notice the
danger in which they were exposed by
the proximity TO the rock I; and hers was
the mysterious hand by which the two
warriors had fallen. The second was the
fierc,st and most bloodthirsly of the Shaw
nees, and it was he who had ten years
previously, murdered and scalped her
mother and sisters.
The night was dark and cloudy, cir
cumstance which enabled the scouts under
the skillful guidance Of the intrepid girl,
to elude their enemies and withdraw from
their perilous' situation.
After toilsome march of three days,
the party reached the stockade in safety,
Their escape deferred the Indians from
their contemplated attack, the surprise
they had planned being thereby rendered
| impracticable.
