YuEE-A GENTLEMAN WHO GATHERS
SIX BARRELS OF HONEY
PER WEEK.
PLAoUEMINE. July IIth. 1873.

PLAoUEMINE, July 18th, 1875.
Mr.. Editor-In my last spoke of the fine
prospect of the cane crop in this section.
Recently I have been through the Crosse
Tete country and on False River, in the par
lsh Of Pointe Coupee. Wherever the water
afom the open Morganza crevasse did not
prevent the people OF these fine sections from
planting, the crop prospect is very good
corn, cotton and cane, all promising we'll
The cane is small, but is doing very well.
Our parish (Iberyille). and believe may
aay the same OF all of Pointe Coupee not
oyerfowed, will not buy any corn next year.
Another source of industry started here,
and of which mention is made in your paper
of the 9th, is bee culture. This will un-
questionably prove very profitable industry
IN our State.
Two gentlemen, Messrs. Micheal Scblatre,
If this place, and P. L. Walton, of Bayou
GouIa, commenced with few hives three
years ago. Mr.. Schlatre has managed his
isngar plantation and had all the time
necessary to attend to his apiary. He has
now some seventy hives, and has realized
very handsomely so far this season, and will
continue to do so.
e Mr.. Walton is druggist, yet he has
plenty Of time, in his leisure moments, to at
asnd to some thirty hives, which more than
pay him for his time, besides giving him an
abundance OF the most delicious honey for
all his own purposes. Some four or Eve
ether parties have started apiaries in this par
ish and will next year be realizing finely
arOm their work.
The most successful apiary / know OF is
ahAt of Mr.. Charles PArlange, ON False River,
IN Pointe Coupee. Mr.. P. is working about
14O colonies. and is getting six barrels of
Money week. This he ships to New York
and sells at about one dollar per gallon.
When Mr. Parlange set about starting has
apiary some four years ago, he was promis- |

friends tried to dissuade him from his "bee |

Justice to Jefferson Davis.
From the Memphis Appeal

In abiding to the enthusiastic reception of
which ex- President Davis received in Texas,
NE New York Tribune says: "The South laid
down its arms and acknowledged the defeat OF
Ahe opinions for which it was contending, but
u has never abandoned its hero-worship or
ceased to venerate the men who led its armies
and its councils. The Augusta tGA) Gtroni-
cse and Sentinel thus answers the comments of
the Tribune: g If the Tribune means by hero
worship that the Southern people have not
forgotten nor neglected the men whom they
0hose as their leaders because their struggle
5br independence proved unsuccessful, the
South will promptly plead guilty to the
charge. Their generals and their statesmen
are just as highly esteemed in defeat as if the
cause had been victorious.
"Nor is it right for the North to expect
Southern men to regard their leaders as the
authors of their misfortunes. They are not
N ever people went into q war advisedly,
the Southern people did fourteen years ego.
II they were wrong (Which We deny) they
have only themselves to blame. If their re-
volt was treason, Mr.. Davis was no more q
traitor than the humblest voter who asked
him to be President of the Oonfederacy.
Gen. Lee was no more o traitor than the pri-
waite soldier in his army, who dared disease
and death in defense Of the lost cause"
These are truthful and just words. They
contrast most favorably with the meanness OF
She little creatures who fattered and fawned
upOn Mr.. Davis when he had offices to give
and prospect of securing our independence,
and who are now continually censuring the
aeaders Of the rebellion. The late war was
inevitable.
II had been brewing for thirty years. ana
ahe South rushed into it with Wild sanguine
enthusiasm, and it is unspeakably contempt |
ible and cowardly for Southern man to in |
Innate that the Southern people were so silly |
md stupid as to be lead into an unjust war
through their leaders. jefferson Davis will |
never be forgotten by the Southern people so |
lpng as they continue to despise that meanest |
n all traits in the human character, ingrati- |
hide. The leaders of the South, although de- |
Isated deserve as much credit as the leaders |
u the North who trampled them downs |

A Long Concealed Murder Confessed.

startling story OF murder, most foul and
unnatural, is reported by a correspondent re-
siding at Lebanon. He writes as follows:
On Friday a hotel-keeper living short dis
tance west Of Lebanon appeared voluntarily
before Francis II, Ubur, and said there was
something preying upon his mind" and then
made the following confession: About ten
wears ago the sister of the hotel-keeper's wife
made visit to the house, Annville, Lebanon
county, whereupon the hotel-keeper and his
wife went out into the stable to catch a chicken
for dinner, and while thus engaged difiicnltv
arose between them. which ended in the com,
mission of the horrible crime of murder II
appears according to the confession. that he
struck his wife blow, which sent her under
she heels Of the horse, and that the animal
subsequently kicked her, causing her death.
At the time of the occurrence everybody
Thought that the death had resulted from the
kick Of the horse, and it was so stated by the
husband. A few years subsequently the hotel
keeper married a second wife, and to her he
made full confession of the crime, and to
no one else, until few days ago, when he
also made the confession to his son, residing
IN Philadelphia. The hotel-keeper is said to
be a sober man, and has always borne good
reputation in the neighborhood where he re-
sided. But the terrible weight on his mind,
and goaded conscience, compelled Lilu to
make the confession.

What Charles Dickens thought of a
christmas Tree, is thus told by that versa
tile author, and in his own peculiar and
charming style:
have been looking on, this evening, at a
merry company of children assembled round
that pretty German toy, Christmas tree.
The tree was planted in the middle of great
round table, and lowered high above their
heads. 1t was brilliantly lighted by multi

and glittered with bright objects There

innumerable twigs; there were French
polished tables, chairs bedsteads
wardrobes and eight-day clocks and various
other articles Of domestic furniture (wonder
fully made in TIM at Wolverhampton) perched
among the boughs as if in preparation for
some fairy Housekeeping; there were jolly,
broad-faced little men, much more agreeable
III appearance than many real men-and no
wonder, for their heads taken off showed
them to be full of sugar-plums: there were
fddles and drums; there were tambourines.
books, work-boxes, sweet-meat boxes, peep
show boxes, all kinds Of boxes; there were
trinkets for the elder girls far brighter than
any grown-up gold aud jewels; there were
guns, swords and banners; there were
witches standing in enchanted rings of paste
board, to tell fortunes; there were tee-totums,
humming tops, needle cases, pen wipers.

lies on the registrar OF that parish f. Ieryallon
the cigar manufacturer Of corner Esplanade and
Royal streets. Why was this genius of injustice?
sent from this city do that parish as registrar
Was not Mr.. Chas. Morgan the first appointed
registrar, and of the Oldest and most trust
worthy citizens OF that parish, more fit and able
to assume the responsible charge of that duty !:
and why was his appointment finally
rejected on mere recommendation word on the
part OF the colored A.. Y. Cousin. (Rep) in favor
of this Tervalon? 1t was In ca sc OF necessity
as OF late to have said registrar to uphold his
tests.
The registrar is not and cannot be such an
honest gentleman as Mr.. Arroyo calls him. His
game is evident to rs from last weeks trausac.
tons in the case Of st. Tammany. When. AT the
last hour this registrar stepped forth and certi
fed by affidavit that Max. Cousin (Democrat)
was truly and legally elected, why then did he
sign solemn protest against the West Pearl
hscr POI democratic by forty votes), corrobora-
tnS all the statements OF tins A. Y. Cousin Trad.
Ical)! Both protests were written in the same
handwriting. proving connivance, and each con.
tanning three Identical statements publicly denied
by Max. Cousins affidavit before Judge Lemonicr,
one OF which proves that Tervallon acted in bad
faith in stating that Mack, one of the commits |
sloners OF election, was fictitious name. when
Tervallon himself registered him as a voter, |
which he could easily have ascertained by per, |
using his books OF registration.
Why did Tervalon, if he be an honest and IN.
right man, not act in conslstence with Justice aud
equity? Why enter protest against the Pearl
River Poll (iO Dem as to the manner OF it's MAX
snS its returns, when on the other side he entered
no protest against the Bayou Lacohbe box Gas

sheets, nor even had voters list, and reported
rom false returns made one week after the cleo
ton, which he personally knows, as he now states
II liS AFFIDAVIT to be much more illegal through
out than the Pearl River poll?
We cannot admit that he acted impartally and
still less the part Of an honest man. as Mr.
Arroyo calls him When we contrast his protest
with that OF A. Y. Cousin, tRepublicap. in the
same handwriting, though signed personally, but
each sustaining one another substantially. ii be-
comes evident that Nj. Tervallon's stepping for

Max Cousin, Democrat,) is truly and legally
elected. is a certain proof that he must either
have felt q remorse of conscience, or more proba-
BILE is 1t that A. Y. Cousin or some other Republ
can failed to fulfill their promises unto him. We
refuse to believe in his alligators tears, which he
knew had come too late to wipe out the Injustice
committed toward Max Cousin.
