have frequent attacks, and are more sensitive 10
the changes of temperature. In this condition
the nose may be dry, slight discharge, thin
and acrid, afterwards thick and adhesive, may
ensue
As the disease becomes chronic, the discharges
are increased in quantity and changed in quality;
they are now thick and heavy. and are hawked or
coughed of The secretions are offensive. causin G
a bad breath the voice thick and nasal the
eyes are weak the sense of smell is lesscned or
destroyed, deafness frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom Of
catarrh is that the person is obliged to clear his
throat in the morning of a slick or shiny mucous,
which has fallen from the head during the night.
When this takes place the person may DC sure
that his disease is on its way to the lungs, and
should lose no time in arresting it.

PLANT CANE.

Another year has closed for cropping,
so far at least as cotton is concerned.-
With what results is known TO every one
in the parish. The only c%ultivators whose
efforts have not been without satisfactory
results, are those engaged 10 the Guilty
alton Of sugar cane. This year they will
make something, and their prospects for
the next are Gathering. The question,
then, might naturally be asked, why do
not more engage ID that branch Of agri-
culture? 1t is easily answered because
it appears too difficult and time is requlr-
ed to perfect the necessary arrangements.
Exactly so It is difficult, and requires
time but who ever jumped into a for

cane will always pay. If you cannot
make arrangements to have it ground al

open for all you have, and at g remuner'

HE MIGHTY FALLEN.-The telegraph
informs Us that Minnesota elected a Rem.
ubliean Governor by a majority of only
sooo. One year ago, at the Compression
al election ] n that State, the Republican
majority was 1o,52o. A very great re
duction. Negro suffrage falls beneath
1000 majority. Evidently they don't
like niggers in that State. Let the gains
continue, and, 10 another year, Minneso.
ia will be heavily Democratic. Wiscop.
sin goes Republican about 1000 against
near $4,000 last year. That State will
undoubtedly rank herself in the conser-
vative Democratic party by the next elect
ion. We shall soun see the last of Rad.
ieal supremacy in the great Northwestern
States.

GRAND LEvEE.-From the New Orleans
Crescent, Of Tuesday last. we learn that
the Board Of Leyee Commissioners have
awarded the contract for constructing
Grand Levee. The price is not stated,
o do we suppose it would add much
interest to the announcement, so long g.
the work is done ID time for the mex, hiel
water. It il stated that the levee anus,
be commenced on or before The fret OF
next month, and completed by the month
OF March following. If the contractors
will put hands enough on the work, FEED
and provide for them comfortably and last.
though not least, have their pay always
ready at the appointed time, there will be
no difficulty in having the work finished
according to contract. w presume there
WILDE no trouble in procuring laborers in
the city and along the coast, if the freed
men can be induced to exert their mpscu-
lar powers for fair compensation. There
are idlers enough lying about loose to
build all the leVees in the State in six
months, if they can only be induced 70
work.

E w a announce, al least one Of
the many levees to be built in this parish,
as finished. The credit of this is due to
G. Dubroca, Esq, who took the contract
for the depot levse, and a substantial
levee it is. Ground has been broken at
the fo~rry-landing for the levees ordered
there, Mr.. Kincheloe having commenced
his share of the work. The remaining
shares of Mr.. Bauer and Mrs. Patrick
will be under way so soon as proper &C.
Communications for the laborers can be
perfected. 1t was expected that work
would be commenced upon the Babiu
levee yesterday, arrangements having
been made for that purpose. So far, the
prospect is somewhat encouraging, but
when we see all the other levees under
contract, we shall feel much better.
