On the Glenn orange plantation, In
the lower part of the parish of st. Mary,
on Bayou Beuf, the crop is cultivated
by four white men and one negro The
white men are from Missouri. The crop
is one of the cleanest, best cultivated
and most promising in the parish. THIS
plantation is situated in the heart OF the
MOSQUITO kingdom, is surrounded by
cypress and other forest trees, is more
irving to white labor than any other
portion of the parish, except lower Bay
GU Sale, Cypremort and the islands.
Still there are people in these parishes
who insist that white laborers cannot
stand the climate. And white laborers
have for years been cultivating cane and
corn on lower Bayou Sale and lower Cy-
premort, and have no more sickness or
mortality among them than the negroes,
and we doubt if they have as much.
And white men are daily following the
pillow and making their crops with hoes,
in the cultivation of cane, cotton and
corn all over the Au Large prairie, and
in the parishes west along the gull coast.
Over half of the cotton of st. Landry
is made by white labor.-PlanterS Ban

SPECIAL NOTICES.

A Pitiful Conditi0n.-It is a sad thing
to pass through life only half alive. Yet
there are thousands whose habitual con-
dition is one Of langour and debil-
ity. They complain of no SPECIFIC disease;
they suffer no positive pain; but they have no
relish for anything which affords mental or
sensuous pleasure to their more robust and
energetic fellow-beings.
In nine cases oat of ten this state of LASH
tude and torpor arises from a msrbid stom-
ach. Indigestion destroys the energy of both
mind and body. When the waste Of nature is
not supplied by due and regular assimila-
