1t is said that Jenny Lind, the peerless, intends
to start singing school at Paris, having been prom
ised the support of the most influential citizens She
may possibly make better thing out of her new un
dertaking than she realized even out of the most
splendid triumpbs of her younger days. At all events
she will not be apt to scatter money with so lavish
hand as she then did. We have great love for
Jenny, and an intense admiration as well, and hope
she Will be less liberal in her charities, and hold in
check that traing husband of hers, if, indeed he be

CEoPs.-Thc planters are coming to the conclusion
that they were more alarmed than hurt by the grass
worm and the cotton has been doing very well for ten
days past There is no donbt, however, but in some
localities, especially in the northern part Of DeSoto
parish the worm did intct serious and rremedable in
Jury upon the cotton. From the best information we
can gather from planters themselves, is fair to
that from six to hundred pounds of seed cotton
the will be the average yield of the uplands OF
this parish and the counties of Eastern Texas. Many
planters will make than this, many less, depend
ent greatly upon the in which their crops have
been worked. All this, of course provided no future
disaster befas. The general average of corn crops

On the river the cotton crops as general thing are
represented as good though here too, there many

1t is eonjectured that the suicide of Parado the
French minister, was the result of the rupture of old
political ties between himself and his friends of the
Liberal school in France. He had been one of the
abest writers in their defence, but after Olivier
into office, it seems Parado ceased his attacks upon
the government and shortly afterwards received the
appointment of Minister to Washington. Of course
his old friends repaid this aposacy with abuse and
it is supposed the Freuchman did not possess suff-
Gent strength of character to stand up under this
aenatlon-this rupture of political and social ties

The Picayune thinks the sagacity of the French EN-
peror is manifested in his efforts to add to the moral
force of the army and people, desiring to mpart to
each such sngeness of purpose, such enthusiasm and
such confidence in himself as will convert France into
a vast engine of war, moved by a single will. The
spirit which he thus desires to FOSTER and which the
French people are SO prominently disposed to in.

messed upon the victory of the English yacht Cam
bria over the Dauntess-if it was only by one hour
and fifteen minutes, and if the Dauntless did lose
two or three hours in picking up couple of her

excitement, we say, this and victory would

that the war swallows up all such trifing events
May we not hope that even base bali will for time

played, in which iron balls are used, and upon whose

shall be led to believe that war, terrible war,

WELL BAKED BREAD-No doubt that much of the
Indigestion and dyspepsia throughout our country is
caused from eating improperly baked bread And

point is to have the means of baking it perfectly and
