EXubePant Health.

Exuberant health is a blessing vouch-
safed to few. Even those who have
been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are
apt to neglect the precautions necessa-
ry to preserve. these precious endow-
ments. Indeed, as rule, the more
healthy and robust a man is, the more
liberties he is inclined to take with his
own physique. 1t is some consolation
to the naturally weak and feeble to
know that they can be SO invigorated
and built up, by proper use of the
means which science has placed at
their disposal, as to have Il much bet
ter chance of long life, and exemptions
from disease and.pain, than the most
athletic of their fellows who are foolish
enough to suppose themselves invul-
nerable, and act accordingly.
1t is not too much to say that more
than half the people of the civilized
world need an occasional tonic, to ena-
bic them to support the strain upon
their bodies and minds, which the fast
life of this restless age occasions. In
fact, @ pure, wholesome, unexciting
tonic is the grand disideratum of. the
busy millions, and they have the arti-

1t has been the great medical success
of the present century, and it is quite

The PRISONER THAT VALLANDIGHAal
WAS Defending ESCAPES. AT midnight
the fire bells rang an alarm. and it
was found that seven prisoners had
dug their way out of the county jail,
among others Mcclellan, in whose
defence Vallandigham lost his life.
They effected their escape by tearing
up portion Of the stone floor of one
of the cells in the Southwest corner
of the prison, excavating tunnel in
to the cellar under the Sheriff's resi-
dence. The cell from which the tun-
mel was made is only about eight
feet from the cellar, but it must have
required considerable labor to ex-
cavacate the hole of sufficient size to
enable the prisoners to crawl through
The earth from the excavation was
thrown back into the cell. After
reaching the cellar they made their
exit through window into the front
yard of the jail, and succeeded in
reaching the street before being dis
covered. The alarm was at once
given, and Sheriff Swadener, with
several of the police force and others,
started in pursuit of the fugitives,
who had scattered through h e
streets and alleys in the vicinity OF
the jail in various directions. The
escape of any more of the inmates
ten of whom remained in the jail
WAS prevented by the immediate
presence of the turnkey, though sew
eral of them refused to avail them
selves Of the opportunity of attempt

SHORT CROPS.

al! the worst anticipations of
our planters lave been realized
with regard to the crop of the cur
rent year. There is scarcely corn
enough made in Louisiana to last
until January; the cotton crop is
less than one third of a fair aver
age; and the sugar crop Will be a
very small one. After paying ex-
penses there will be little left to the
planter with which to support his
family and commence operations
for another year. Last year plan
tiers made good crops. The cotton
crop exceeded four millions of
bales. But they were then told
that they had oyerdone the thing;
that the market was glutted and
consequently the price of cotton
did not pay for its production. So
it seems that whether the crop is
large or small, the planters can re-
alize nothing from the production
of cotton. For six years they have
been hoping for better things, but
the prospects seem to get darke,
and darker every year.
1t is very evident, that the plan
tiers of Louisiana will have to di
.versify their pursuits or else give
up in despair and leave their lands
for other persons to occupy. In
what this diversity shall consist we
can hardly indicate in single ar
ticle. One obvious change might
be made in the cultivation of q
larger area Of breadstuf;s and the
contraction of the area of the cot
ton fields. If we have something
to eat we, can possibly get along
even without money to buy.
It, moreover, seems to us thai
there are other pursuits which
would pay the operator and tent
to lessen the expenses of those who
cultivate the soil. Why must thu

ever he breaks his engine, or gil
