THE PARISHES.
CLAIBORNE.


from tho Iliad, Gth.l
Thus far, September has been dvy
and hot. Tho weather indications axe
favorable to crop gathering.
This section continues healthy.
WEST BATON ROUGE.
lSugar Planter, Gth.1
One OF the finest droves of beeves we
ever saw-some 80 head-were crossed
to Baton Rouge from this side Thursday
evening. They were from the Atta<a-
pas country, and rs fat as they well
could be. No finer cattle from the
prairies of Texas over came to this
market.
MADISON.
[From the Journal, 2d.l
Tho worms are at work on nearly
every plantation in this parish. Vari-
GUS opinions arc expressed as to tho
amount of damage they will do tho
cotton. We are still of the opinion that
where the cotton was planted early and
the proper distance given In tho drill
and it has been well cultivated, they
will do very little damage. Later crops
that have been slovenly cultivated arc
likely to suffer.
FRANKLIN.
From tho Sun, 10Th ult.
SOME PEAR.-Dr. Rapp has sent us,
from his orchard, what might he called
a big pear-and it was nice, too, for we
ate it, though we had to take two turns
at it. 1t measured five inches in length
and twelve in circumference.
Tho worms arc now all over the
parish and no mistake, and the whole
cotton crop will DO ovcrrun by them in
ten days.
[From tho Record, 5th.l
CROPs.-We have no very reliable
information as to the present condition
Of the cotton crop. Reports relative to
thecaterpillara are somewhat conflicting,
but we are satisfied that no great dam
ago will he done, except in some par
ticular sections or plantations. There
is no question but that n larger corn
crop than usual will be gathered.

A YOUNG PRIsONER.-Last Monday

Comment upon this case may be
deemed unnecessary, but we cannot re.

much latitude, and thus work tho ruin
Of those for whose trimming they arc
responsible and bring grief and sorrow

LINCOLN.
From tho Sentinel, 9th.
THE NAILS Tho Postmaster at
Monroe can greatly improve the veNing
manner in which the mail matter pass
ing through that office for this region
of country is sent out on the stage. 1t
frequently occurs that the mail matter
for this section of country is placed in
tho Minden or Shreveport mail bags,
and as tho drivers don't throw off those
bags here, it is carried on to those
places and back before it reaches its
proper distributing Office. This delay
and annoyance can be very easily avoi-
tied, by simply putting MI the mail
matter for this section in one bag, and
labelling it Vienna. Will the Postmas-
ter attend to the matter ut once?

How She Madrid Ladies Smubbed MIS-
Amadeus.

From the first. the hostility of the grandees of
Spain asains the democratic monarch was uni
any effort to mitigate IL was speedily recognized
10 be hopeless. The court consisted wholly Of
new people-liberals ennobled by the new king,
business people. A strange device of the female
that they considered her an interloper. The
white mantilla fastened to a high tortoisG-shell
comb vas, in the old DAYS, the universal head
gear Of Spanish ladies. The grand ladies, a.the
instgation, IL is said, of the msrchioness OF Al
canices-bttter known as duchess OF MpTny-
determined to revive this costume, and to APP
pear In ~ simultaneously one day on the after
noon drive in the Prado. The day arrived.
Parlsian honnets gave place to the white man
t1lla and bewildering coiffures to the plain
braided locks and the high tortoise-sheli comb.
The queen, as she drove, noticed the strange
change OF fashion, and innocently pointed IL
out to her husband, wondering in her foreign
simplicity what 1t meant Had the ma ger end
cd there, it would have been well. Fhe pal
triness of the motive took away the sting of the
slight. When the ladies of the Spanish nobleSse
chose to indicate in this tortuous fashion 70 the
queen that they were Spanards of the bluest
blood, and that she was a foreigner uHentiticd
tn recognition as a Spaniard, they only told
the royal couple and the Spanish people what
both knew already. But SagaSta, who was
prime minister at the time, could. not see that
digniiied indifference was the best retort. He
sought out number Of the best known women
of cisreputable character, had them arrayed in
white mantillas and tortoise shsu combs found
for them handsome private carriages and sad
denly turned the -ood-for- nothing corteye on
to the Prado to mingle with the danes OF an
Gent lineage and regulations untarni shed. liz
was sauve qui peut with the noble ladies. Mad
I'D took up the coarse and undignited Joke
some of the women were mobbed as they drove
home in a splendor to them D unwonted. their
mantillas were torn off and the tortOise-shell
combs seriously maltreated. 1t is not certain
but that some of the ladies' were handled after
the same fashion; aay how, Sagasta's coup
abolished white mantillas on the Prado. No
one insinuates that either the king or queen
was privy to piece of retaliation of q charac-
ter so Questionable.-Lsttert % Lorsan Neacs.
