Growing Gala Lilies,

Not long since, says writer in the Hort
cu!teriSt, l was at a friends, and going
through her conservatory was much struck
with the luxuriant growth of Gala. The
leaves were borne on stems three feet or
more in length, and such leaves! l never
dreamed that calla leaves could grow so
large before. They were of the richest
green, too, and everything about the plant
indicated that it was In the most perfect
health. 1t had one bud, on a stalk three
feet long, which was as large as any Gala
buds had ever been when they had attained
full growth and we're ready to unfold, and
this bud was hardly half matured, thus Civ
ing promise of becoming an immense flower
if nothing happened to prevent its devel-
oping. fs
1 asked the secret of such magnificent
success in Gala growing, and my friend
told me in what it consisted. In June she
takes her callas out of doors, and turns the
pots containing them over on their sides
under tree, or in some shady place, and
there she leaves them through the hot
summer months, giving them no attention
whatever.
OF course the old leaves die and drop of,
and the earth in the pots bakes into the
consistency OF bricks. One would think
such harsh treatment would be the death of
the flower, but, on the contrary, the Gala
likes it. In September she brings the pots
in and begins to give the plants water. A
short time suftices to start them into growth.
AS soon as the leaves appear she makes the
water quite warm. The result is that her
callas are superior to any 1 ever saw before.
She boasts of having larger flowers than
any one else, and, judging from the size of
the half matured bud l saw, she has
foundation for saying so. She tells me that
her callas are never without flowers through
the winter, often as many as four or five at
once. She never removes the new ones
which form about the old plant, but as they
grow shifts the plants into large pots.
! have seen so many sickly, spindling
callas, that want to say to my friends try
out of doors last summer, and brought it in
two months ago, and it is flourishing finely.
1t is an easy plan to try. and am sure it is
successful one. ought to have said be-
fore that my friends conservatory is heat
ed from stove in the sitting room, there
fore this treatment will apply where only
few house plants are kept and steam heat
ing is not used.

The Teche not Texas.

The telegraph news in the evening papers
was incorrect concerning the proposed mail
changes, and the word Texas should be
Teche. There is some danger that the
Morgan railroad will be oveYhowed in part
and the trains stopped. Mr.. Upper, mail
contractor for the Teche country, for fear
that this route might be interrupted, asked
Postmaster Ringgold to obtain authority
for an alteration. 1t is proposed to send
the mails by steamboat up the river to
Plaquemine, where Mr.. Tupper will have a
steamer ready to go down Grand river,
through Grand lake, thence into the Teche
and up to New Iberia, which excellent ar
rangement will cause only twelve hours
delay from the present route

The Devastation Caused by the Bonnet
Carre Crevasse.
PARISH OF ST. JOHN rHR BAPTIST,


PARISH OF ST. JOHN THR BAPTIST /
April %, 1874. :
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
In compliance with the proclamation of
of Governor Kellogg of the twentieth in.
stant, a meeting of our citizens assembled
this day at the courthouse. Hon. Henry
Demas was chosen president, and A. G.
Babcock secretary, and the following gen.
tlemen selected to compose the committee:
George w. Combs, Judge Numa Trepagnier,
Zenon Miller, j. E. Sentille and Judge D.
L. Ehrman. The extent of destitution and
suffering among the people in the vicinity
of the Bonnet Carre crevasse at present is
very considerable, and every effort that
can be has been made to alleviate the more
destitute, whose once happy and prosperous
homes have been swept away by the food.
Hon. Henry Demas and G. w. Combs
have thoroughly canvassed the overflOwed
district, and from them we have received the
names Of about one hundred families that
have been made homeless. Messrs. Combs
and Demas have labored zealously among
the sufferers, and done much by way of
who report that during the recent heavy
rains, women and children have suffered
for want of food, clothing and shelter to a
great extent. In most cases, those whose
houses were swept away have succeeded in
procuring some Kind of shelter to protect
their little ones from sun and storm. Even
plantation shops, corn houses and stables
are crowded with families whose care worn
countenances and scantily clad bodies be-
speak their misfortunes palmer than words
can tell, and many OF these poor sufferers,
though almost strange to relate. are vic
tins to such disasters for the fifth time.
However, prospect of relief cheers them
up and encourages them to try and endure
their snfferings. Yours,
A. C.
