Last Saturday we announced that Acting
Governor Kellogg had commuted the sentence
Of Sam Wright, the freedman who murdered
enc of his own color, and who was condemned
to be hanged We also stated that the Gov
ernor intended to pardon Angelas Prud'homme,
who had been sent to the penitentiary for life.
it appears that we had been well informed,
ior Prudhomme arrived last Friday week,
and Is now in the bosom of his family.
Kellogg is certainly very tender-hearted, a
fact We would not have suspected had he not
gwen US such unmistakable evidence of the
iaef recently, here and elsewhere :-On every
slde we hear Of pardonash be has granted, the
iasf one that has come to our knowledge being
mat OF Drozin Broussard, of Lafayette parish.
VINO had been sent to the penitentiary for one
year.

Old Dan Rice and his great show gave two
performances here, as advertised, on Wednes-
day last, and two in Washington on Thursday.
In the afternoon the attendance here was not
large, but at night the spacious tent was
crowded, no doubt reminding the veteran
Snowman of the audiences that greeted him in
Opelousas in aate-6ell,tm days. Our fears
about his taking all the small change away
from us have almost been realized, but as he
returned an equivalent in giving us good
show, everybody was satisfied.
Old Dan met here quite number of old time
friends, with whom he had q Jolly good time, .
and they put him down as .tprince of good
fellows as well as the prince of showmen.
We can corroborate that oursef, and hereby
commend him to our brethren of the press
wherever he may pitch his tent.

LAZY FARMERs.-Laziness prevents man
from getting off his horse to put on the first
rail that gets knocked off the fence, and
through this lazy neglect whole field of corn
is seriously damaged. Laziness keeps a man
from driving one nail when one would do, and
finally costs carpenters bill for extensive
repairs. Laziness allows gate off it's hinges
and lie in the mud. or stand propped by rails,
or stable or barn to leak and damage hun
dreds of dollars worth of provender. Lazi-
ness, in short, is the right and proper name
for nine-tenths of the excuses given for bad
farming. But by far the most prolific of the
manv wastes that are due to laziness is the
waste of ignorance.-Prairie Farmer.

The New Orleans Picayune predicts great
benefit to the farming aid planting system oi
Louisiana through u general organization OF
GrangerS in that State, based upon q senti
ment of mutual interest. and having safe and
honorable objects in view. 1t is led to this
conclusion by the results of the order IN Mis-
sissippi, where there are now five hundred
Oranges. the members of which produced last
year 2G9 :329 bales of cotton. 1862, 1876 bushels
OF corn, 1903 bushels or oats. aud 1881
bushels of sweet potatoes. and will this year
directly control the sale of sc, 27 bales of cot
ton. The secretary of the State Grange also
estimates that the members will purchase di-
rect this year 1854 barrels of sugar. S1G9 bar
rels of molasses. 1876 barrels Of -four, 7l35
sacks of salt, and $50 sacks of coffee. and
through the proceeds of their cotton. 2. .738, $40
pounds of pork. 2, ,5i3. 80 pounds of bacon, and
l47l bales of hay These figures are certainly
gratifying, and show conclusiveiy that the es-
tablishnent of the Patrons in Mississippi has
given wonderful impetus to her agricultural
recuperation.

A Pennsylvania lady having heard of the
noxlous influence of earbolie acid on various
species of insects that infest gardens, was III
dueed to try it's effects upon the cabbage
worm. For this purpose she procured cake
of soap that had been strongly scented with
the acid, and having made quantity of suds
therefrom, she transferred it to q watering
pot, and in the early part of the day, when the
green worm is most vigorous in its movements,
She gave several garden plots of cabbage a
sprinkling. These were examined soon after,
and number of dead worms were picked from
the leaves The operation was repeated next
day, and from careful observations made, it is
believed the leaves of the plants, wherever the
solution has been fairly tried, have been
cleared of these pests.-I Horticultural

followed with ten cents worth of white
rum. The rum penetrates, and carries
with it portion of tallow, causing a

prescribing penalty of at least 500 for each

The District Court, which has been in ses-

journed sine die on Monday last, the 9th inst,
after session of over three months. Some
20 civil cases were decided, leaving only 20 or
% eases on the civil docket. Besides these 20
civil cases, 20 or 25 criminal ones were also
decided-the latter during the first weeks of
the session.
One would think that after such a lengthy
session the Judge and lawyers needed some
rest, or at least some recreation. We learn,
nevertheless, that Judge Morgan, aeceding to
the request of the members of the Calcasieu
