dents. The answers were returna'

questions asked was: What
branch of Agriculture has been
most profitable in the country the
past year," Answers were receiv'
ed from almost every county in the
United States, and the results are
summed up as follows by j. r.
Dodge, the statistician:
"In Maine, hay occupies the first
place and dairy husbandry the sec

equal Importance in New Hamp-

in Massachusetts, hay first, market

first in Connecticut. There is much
diversity in New York, but dairy
husbandry is far in advance, being
the choice of one third of the cOun-

stands first. In Pennsylvania man.

Agriculture is the most certain
source of strength, wealth and ID"
dependence. Comerce tlOurishes by
circumstances precariOus, contin'
cent, transitory, almost rs liable to
changes as the winds and waves
that watt it to our shores. She may
we'll be termed the younger sister,
for, in all emergencies, she looks TO
agriculture both for defense ana
for supply Cotton.
The first three men in the world,
were q gardener, a ploughman, ana
a grazier; and if any man OBJECT
that the second of these was a muir
dcrer, | desire he would consider
that as soon as he was so, he quit
ted our profession and turned build
er.-Cocley.
In ancient times, the sacred pillow
employed the kings, and awful faith
crs of mankind.-THomS0n.
In the age of acorns, antecedeht
to Ceres and the royal ploughman
Triptolemus, a single barley corn
had been of more value to man
kind than all the diamonds tina,

II. Brooke.
Trade increases the wealth and
and glory ola country but its reaI
strength and stamina are to De
looked for among the cultivators OF
the land.-LO,d chatham.
In a moral point of view, the life
of the agriculturist is the most pure
and holy of any class of men : pure
because it is the most hcalthful, and
vice can hardly find time to contain
mate it; and holy because it brings
the Deity perpetually before his
view, giving him thereby the most
exalted notions of supreme power
and the most fascinating and ell
dearing view of moral benignity.-
Lori John Russell.
The farmers are the founders oil
civilization.-Daniel Webster.
And lie gave it for his opinion
that whoever could make two ears
of corn, or two blades of grass, tc
grow upon spot of ground where
only one grew before, would deserve
better of mankind, and 90 more
essential service to his country than

Every year increases the populari-|

which is due to merit alone. @ We
can assure our old patrons that it Is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAZ
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruE, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents tho hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAZE DREss1Ne ever used
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,

TEE RAILROAD AND THE BRIDGE
On Tuesday last the railroad bridge
was swung around so as to span the
Bayou L;lfOurche, and tracks laid up
on the structure to permit the pas
sage of trains. We interviewed the
local agent of the railroad, Mr.. JOS.
Hughes, to learn the particulars re-
garding the manner in Which possession
of the bridge was acquired, and he
made the following statement: No ar
rangement has been effected between
the bridge and the railroad companies,
but the bridge was seized by Il deputy
Sheriff of the Parish of Jefferson in
obedience to an order of the Attorney
General approved by the Governor,
for the State of Louisiana. As the
agent of the bridge company l was
served with writ of seizure, Which
of course Twas powerless to prevent.
I Immediately telegraphed the com
pany at Cleveland and asked instrucs-
tions.n
The bridge seems to be in good or
der and we hope it will be kept in
use. The old engine and train of
freight and fat cars which have 50
long roasted just above the Bayou.
have been removed to this side and
placed upon the switch below the de-
pot. Workmen under the supervision
of Mr.. L. w. Dodge are putting the
ten miles of track which extend west
Of here in good order, and on Sunday
the passenger train will make its first
"trip to the terminus of the road. i.
This event should be hailed with
JOY by all who wish to see the road
as it may be viewed as an
indication that steps are to be taken
to bring about that desired consum-
nation.
There is enterprise in Louisiana
yet, and so long as the State can re-
tain possession of the road with NJ.
