willingness to join in indemnifying
Capt. Rea against actual loss in the pro-
secution OF his undertaking. This is
the age Of steam and of progress, and
people VIII" wish to keep alive and
moving, must push forward and reach
after the rich fruits always occurred by
energy and enterprise. We, OF Monroe

Weather aud Crops.

1t is generally conceded that the Qua

ply of corn, but, if the season IL favor
able throughout August, will make a
tolerable cotton crop.
More corn will be made than at first
axpected-the late rains having helped
the early and late planting. We are
still needing some rain. The season OF
rain spoken of, in our last issue, was
not SO heavy nor SO general as we
thought.
The weather has been quite pleasant
for the past week, but to-day is getting
quite warm. 1t has rained somewhere
every day, frequently giving us sprin-

HOLIDAY PRESENTS
Ii at LEVIN e. FERGUSON'S


s@- A lady who has been travelling
in the Argentine Republic gives a
sickening account of the annual re-
ligious ceremony Of .fagellation. She
was present in the principal church
in Cordova with a vast crowd. all
provided with "disciplines;;" the
lights were extinguished, and then for
ten minutes went on sound of slash
ing flesh, as the poor people laid the
instruments of torture on their own
bare shoulders, while the priests at
the alter solemnly intoned the peni-
tential psalms. Just at the crisis of
the horror of this scene, at the oft
noted moment when the fact that the
whips are dabbled in blood becomes
apparent to the ear, the lady heard a
sound, familiar, indeed, but most
strange at that hour and place. It
was the shrek Of the railway whistle
of the first train of the first railway
entering Cordova-a cock-crow which
surely announces the end ere long OF
that night of evil dreams.

The CANNoN-BALL TREE.-Among
the plants Of Guinea, one Of the most
curious is the cannon ball tree. It
grows to the height of sixty feet, and
it's flowers are remarkable for beauty
and fragrance, and contradictory quail
tiles. It's blossoms are of delicious
crimson appearing il large bunches,
and exlaling a rich perfume. The
fruit resembles enormous cannon balls,
hence the name. However, some say
it las been SO called because of the
noise winch the ball makes n bursting.
From the shell domestic utensils are
made, and the contents contain several
kinds of'acids, BESIDES sugar and gum.
and furnish tile material for making an
excellent drink in sickness. Bnt, sin
gnlar as it may appear, this pulp, when
in a perfectly ripe state, is very filthy,
and the odor from it is exceedingly un-
pleasant

REFORM.

After plundering the people to
an unprecedented extent for the
last five or six years the Radicals
have raised the cry of reform.
Whether it is because there is moth
ing more to steal, or whether they
are really sincere in their profess
sions, are questions on which there
is a great difference of opinion.
The Radicals in Louisiana have
doubtless been driven to mend
their ways by the bold and deter
mined attitude recently assumed by
the Democratic party. So far from
disbandiug the Democrats are per
fecting their organization, and, if
they go into the next campaign on
the single issue of reform, they are
bound to win if they have no other
opponents than the party which
has brought bankruptcy and ruin
upon the State. Hence the two
factions, into which the kadicai
party haS'split, are each striving to
beat the other in the lace for re-
form.
Governor Warmoth, Immediate
~ after his triumph in the election
of "A President of the Senate, sig
palized his victory by annulling
the contract with most of:the' conn
try Radical organs which have
lived off the public treasury With
ont any corresponding benefit I'd
the public. This is a step in the
right direction. The Printing bill
is one of the greatest of all the Rad
zeal outrages and it is a wonder
that the people have submitted tc
it as long as they have. Let Gov
ernor Warmoth follow up his re
forms and he will ind the people
cooperating with him on all sides
Nor are the followers of Oscar j
Dunn wanting in their promises o
reform. They have already givel
out that the infamous election bill
the Militia Bill and the Constabu
Larry bill shall be repealed at al
early day in the next session, Thi
will entitle them to a great deal 0
praise. With these Odlous bills of
the statute book, tte people cal
then have a fair election and thu
affairs of the State will then b.
placed in the hands of men who ar
competent to manage them.
We shall therefore, look forward
with much interest to the assent
ling of the Legislature in January
We hope to see at least one session
of "a carpet bag Legislature spen
in dong something else beside
plundering.

LETTER FROM HALLyILLE,. TEX.
HALLvILLE,. TEXAS.
December 4, 1871. :


December 4, 1871.
Dear Democrat
In yours of the 18th ult. I notice a
letter relative to Chicago sympathizers
in the South. Would there were more
Southern men who dared openly to
ayow their sentiments, and denOunce
all who desire to extend the hand Of
sympathy to those who have always
been most bitter in their vindictive ha-
tired and treatment of the Southern
people whenever an Oppostunity has
been offered. What contributions or
sympathy came from Chicago for the
wretched sufferers of Atlanta and CO.
lumbiai Simply these-"God is pun
ishing them, let us rejoice !'-and the
ringing of bells and shouts of joy testi-
fed their gladness. For overfowed,
distressed Richmond, came there not
one dollar for relief, or a word of SYM
pathy from the doomed city. The AL
mighty, looking down from His throne
above, saw how wealth and arrogance
and pride had hardened their hearts,
until every feeling of humanity was
lost to them, and, as He sent fire from
Heaven upon Sodom of old, SO did He
destroy this modern Sodom. Sympa-
thy for them! Let us have none OF it J!
And our money, if we have it 10 spare,
let it be expended upon the families OF
those who have fought, bled and died
for cause still dear to every true
Southern heart. They have preached
to US of punishment for sin, let them
bow in humble submission to the rod.
We thank God that the Louisiana
Democrat has never furled the South
ern banner, but still stands nobiy at its
post through the thickest of the fight,
daring to denounce all who, for the
sake of gain, have crept back under the
folds of the old flag, and those, too,
who, still protesting to be true to the
Southern cause, are SO loud in profess
sions of sympathy for her worst
enemies.
God bless the Democrat Long may
it prove beacon light to the faltering
a scourge to the traitor, and a blessing
to the true. E. T.

IL In the early days of the London
Times, it Was the custom in ann0unc-
ing a marriage to state the amount of
the dowry-s20,000 or G30, 900, what
ever 1t might happen to be-and, in
looking through the ladies' column one
morning mt breakfast, Mr.. Walter threw
out the suggestion that if a man mar
ried all that money he might certainly
pay tritiiug per centage upon it to the
printer for acquainting the world with
the fact. "These marriage fees would
form nice little pocket money for me,
ny dear" added Mrs. Walter, and hel
husband agreed to try tie experiment
The charge at first was but tribe, and
lie annual amoant probably not much /;
out Mrs. Walter, at her death, passed
the p,escriptive right of hers to hel
laughter, and when, a few years ago,
he right was repurchased by the pre-
sent proprietor, it was assessed Il;
$4,000 a year.
