Good NcNyS!

We are informed by Mr.. Thorson, in New
York, that dry goods are getting cheaper. We
all need dry goods. Cotton having declined 10
cents per pound, and gold about TO- he says he
has bought goods fully 90 per cent cheaper than
they were month ago. You may look for big
bargains at No. 25, Tia Sale street. They are
coming; there will be piles Of dry goods, and At
such prices that will make you think Of the
good old times when gold and silver used to be
seen among mankind.

An ACT OF CRUELTY.-Mr. Bonner, of the New
York Ledger, is certainly excusable for turning
honest penny by putting Mr.. Grant, the father of
the general Of thar name, at work to puff into emf
hence his son. Mr.. Bonner has much to answer
for 10 beguili1g from a respectable obscurity an
innocent old gentleman, and inducing him to dis.
play his egotism and garrulity in the futile attempt
10 make great man out of a very ordinary boy.
II the father had sufficient power Of discernment
to zee IN bis son Ulysses the germs Of greatness,
why did he not give him a better situation than
that of porter in his leather store in Galena, at
salary Of forty dollars per months small pit
lance for man with family! The elder Grant
boasts Of having been able to give each OF bis
children SIS 600, after retaining enough to
support himself and family in at least COM
Portable circumstances. Why then did he not,
out Of that abundance, give 10 the great and
brilliant Ulysses the small sum of three hun
bred dollars TO enable him to purchase an outfit
when he was offered the commission of lieutenant
coonell Why was it that it was left for former
partner Of the elder Grant, Z. A. Collins, Esq, to
furnish the means for procuring that outfit, after
the positive refusal of the father and brother to
advance him q dollar for that purposeg We
would respectfully suggest that the least said on
a subject like this by the relatives of General
Grant, with a view to improve his chances for
the presidency, will be the most easily mended.
A judiciOus "reticencev is very good thing in
It's place. [Cleyelsnd Plain Dealer.

CRoPs.-The planters are all busiy engaged in
scrapiDg their plant and barring of their subble
cane, which now begins to mark the rows very
distinctly. The negroes generally are working
satisfactorily, better than they have ever done
heretofore, according TO reports from our friends
in the country.
We have not heard of grain Of cotton being
planted, nor do We presume that any planter
would be so foolish as to lose his labor in an at
tempt to cultivate crop that never pays as well
as either sugar or rice. This latter crop will be
planted extensively in this parish, and we hear
considerable talk about building a rice mill for
the purpose Of cleaning and bleaching this grain.
which we hope soon to see consummated. good
rice mill with floating engine to pump water
over the levee for irrigatiDg purposes would be
of incaculable benefit to the agricultural pros
penty Of the lower Lafourche. Any ordinary
yield Of this crop will bring from $40 to 800 per
arpent
II requires comparatively but little labor, and
nothing is wanted but energy and capital to fully
develop this branch of agriculture and insure a
handsome revenue TO all who may engage in its
pToduction.-I rhibodaux Sentinel.
