The P ERsINIMoN.--May there
not be something in this de-
spised fruit that will eventual
ly be one of the great stays to
the agricultural interests? We
have seen isolated trees, so
loaded with this sweet fruit,
that it often set us to speculat-
ing in regard to it. We have
heard botanists say that these
trees were male, female, and
hermaphrodite, the last kind
being the only bearing sort.
This accounts for the fact, that
SO few trees bear fruit. Like
the pear. the persimmou is a
very slow grower, but is ex-
tremely hardy, growing we'll
upon the poorest, wettest and
driest soil.
Suppose an orchard of an
acre, OF the bearing kind, prop
agated by grating, and prop
erly cultivated, and Of sufficient
age were had, would it not
pay the farmers Fifty trees
would grow on the acre and a
hundred pounds of fruit to the
tree would be bnt a reasonable
crop to expect. One-tenth part
of the fruit at the least is pure
sugar. and SO five hundred
pounds of it would be made.
This could be easily applied to
use in making beer and rum,
or feeding stock. Who can
say but that in the far future
when the South shall have be-
ecome densely peopled, the
persimmon may not be to
it what the date is to the Arab,
the staff Of life.

SUGAR AND MoLAssEs.--New
brown sugar and new molasses
are much healthier to eat than
the old. They are also much
more pleasant to the taste.
There is a slight fermentation
In bothIthe sugar and molasses
that Injuries them in time. If
we get the Louisiana article it
is more apt to be fresh and is
really, generally a better article
than foreign. But by all means,
avoidall kinds of syrup. All
that comes for sale is doctered
stnff, as we have strong reason
to believe.
Many Of our small farmers
are making their own syrup
out Of cane, not sorghum. This
Of course, is pure. aud for this
reason, ought to be generally
made. especially as cotton is
now so low priced. A quarter
of an acre of COW penned land
will make o hundred gallons
or more. siil U

dian Commission, at Laramie,
Red Cloud charged Grant with
"telling lies" and what's worse,
the nasty savage has proved
his assertion. Red Cloud is as
hard on Grant as Andy john
son was.

The Township maps and
field notes, for this parish have
arrived, and are now in the
Treasurer's office. We never
saw prettier or cleaner work.
Every thing about them is as
neat as if engraved. They
we're gotten up by John Lynch
the Surveyor General for the
State. This man is a Repub-
lican, nevertheless, we heard q
staunch Democrat, the other
day, say that he was an honest
man. This work makes us in
clined to believe so also. He
is on the Election Board, and
there bis honesty will be tried
in the fire. We will see if he
is pure gold, or only sinking
brass.

resulted in the capture of two
of these animals, after spirited

votes had been polled, and the

votes had been polled, and the
Commissioners, or any one of
them, or the Supervisor, might
stuff the boxes at pleasure.
THE RADICAL CANDIDATES
we're given ont to be /. M. Cal
laway for Senate, and O. S.
Abel and Percy Baker for the
House, when 10! on election
day, and not till then, we find
Wiggin, the Supervisors clerk,
on the ticket for Senator, and
the Supervisor himself in the
place of Baker. Now can't we
easily account for the hole in
the cocoanut and also for the.
milk therein 2 Mr.. Supervisor
Stanton comes from the city Of
New Orleans with the patriotic
intention of representing us.
He takes the oath faithfully to
perform his duties as Supervi-
sor, and doubtless keeps it-in
bis own estimation He is
beaten before the people after
all his fnesse, but nevertheless
another hard oath or two will
put him in the House. Oh,
what a mistake we made when
we voted ourselves out of mill
tary rule! Better far, that we
had no rights at all, than to
have them and not be enabled
to profit by them.
This man is the son of
MRS. q. CADY STANTON,
q lady at the head of the wo-
man rights movement. How
ever much the majority may
oppose her politics, yet no
whisper has been breathed
against her high moral charac-
ter. How will her face burn
with shame when she learns
that her son has so dishon ored
himself. She would enfran-
chise all men and women; he
virtually disfranchise free men
in order to enjoy an Office that
can only be made profitable by
accepting brides.

D. Cady Stanton.

the history of this man in his
connection with the registra-
ton of voters, and in the man
ner of his conducting the cleo
ton in this parish, and let the
public judge him. He came
among us two months ago as
Supervisor of Registration
kept open Office in Bellevue
some ten days, advertised to
register the voters at Canes
and Benton, and then removed
to Canes, where he kept his
Office till the close of the reg
istration, with the exception of
a day and a half spent at Ben
ton and two or three days at
Atkins's. Our people were con.
tinually expecting that he
would takea tour of the parish,
as other Registrars had done.
Those exceedingly anxious
to register, would have even
visited him at Canes, had they
been certain that he would
have been found there. But
the majority unregistered re-
siding from 80 to so miles dis
tant, could not spare the time,
expense and labor necessary to
enable them to reach the office.
Canes by direct road to the
north line of our parish is dis
tant 40 miles, to the centre of
ward seven so miles, and to the
