LOUISIANA ITEMS.

The Thibodaux Sentinel of the 2sth furnishes
the following items :" The grinding season has
been excellent In this parish. Several frosts have
rip sned the cane properly and the yield generally
has been satisfactory. We hear some complaints
of Yields smaller than anticipated, but the ma.
ioriiy OF planters are contented. The sugar is OF
good quality on the average, but we have seen
and heard Of some that will not do to brsg on.
Upon the whole, Lafourche has been blessed with
excellent crops In 1868. May we never have worse
ones The cool weather of ,lste has brought
fiocks of ducks to our hunting grounds, and our
market has a supply Of them daily for the COZ.
sumption Of our citizens. Lately we have had
fine red fish, brought up from Terrebonne for sale
in our town, and at reasonable rates."
Messrs. Boyd 4 Rsioey have leased the johnson
plantation, at the Lafourche crossing, and are
going 10 plant rice on large scale. We are
informed that these gentlemen are experienced In
the cultivation Of this grain, and that they design
erecting q mill for the purpose Of cleaning rice
We hope they may do SO. for such an establish
ment il sadly needed in that portion OF the parish
There is one good thing connected with this lease
of that plantation and that is that the people Of
the surrounding neiehborhood will be rid Of the
den of thieves who have made their home thereon
for the last five years, living by .plunder sns
stealing the crops Of those who work for an homes
living. This will clean out all such dens in La
fOuEche.
TIE citizens OF Lafourche are called to meet oil
the 18th inst. at Thbodaux, TO organize a." Pro
perry Holders Protective Association" for thu
parish.

A gentleman who has been present at the per
Torrance of many earthquakes, including the
one which recently came off in San Francisco,
gives q singular and interesting account of the
effect q an sa5thqaaks On men. E0psps sAjdysp
as A rule, men run into the streets laughing.
vhile women and children sink down and cry
pi,eously and Historically. Horses generally
snort with terror and dash madly away. Cattle
together and stand still. Dogs bark vociferousiy
and run about without any apparent object.
And, according TO the testimony Of a lady who
was standirg in her yard feeding her poultry when
first felt, the hens and chickens all ran away and
took to the hen.house as though a shower had
occurred. while her only turkey ran toward her
and lying fat down at her feet looked up into her
face as il imploring protection.

THE BRITISH CHESS AssocIATIoS.-It is the
practice Of this association to hold its meetings
alternately in London and in the country. This
year it is London's turn. and there are some cir
cumstsnces connected with the gathering (ssys
the Telegraph) which makes it unusually interest
ing to chess players. The grand challenge cup,
Of the value of ESQ. now held by Mr.. De We're,
will be again competed for. There will be hsndi-
cap tournament open to all Corners. in which
prizes will be given to the amount Of f40. The
most novel feature of the meeting. and one which
is making considerable stir in the chess world is Q
prize offered by Mr.. Moneredien, the we'll know n
president of the London Chess Club. 1t consists
Of sp1rse of twenty gaineas, to be awarded to
the winner in series Of games In which q slight
displacement Of the pieces will render imperative

ford an opportunity to these players who, whilst
possessed Of considerable powers of combination,
have not sufficient leisure to study and learn BY

to the openings" and who are thus placed at
disadvantage from o circumstance 10 which
memory bears large, and skill only small psr {.
The announcement Of the particular mode of dis
placements to be adopted viii only be made when
the games are about to begin. This match is open
TO British players only.

The New York Mail in an article entitled How
to get Office" gives the following list of consul
ates, with the values attached to them:
Among the consulstes, Liverpool, London aud
Havre always go a begging at $500. There is
some little rush for st. Helena, owing TO the
marked resemblance of every applicant TO Napo-
leon Bonaparte this pays $500, but the British
government refuses TO take American Bonapartes.
Montreal is worth $1,000, Quebec $500. Halifax
5000. Fenisns have the best chances for the
places. Calcutta is worth $4,000, and beautiful
yellow fevers are taken there in fees. Paris is
worth s5O00 much in request by clergymen, be-
cause of the spiritual opportunities OF the city.
Marseilles and Bordeaux stand at $500 piece.
Nobody wants these because OF the cheapness Of
wine and living there. Madrid is worth $500,
and none Of the other Spanish consulates more
than $500, but nobody wants these az all since
there lie q probability of republican government
there. If any of your readers would like one Of
these places q letter sent TO General Grant will
