The numerous friends of our young towns
man. and for some time European CORRESPONDENT
Dr. G. Farrar Patton, will be pleased to learn tina
during his leisure hours at the University O
Bonn Prussia he has written an able treatise on
the arrangement Of music, which is now being
published in Leipsic, city noted as one OF the
chief centers Of musical science in Europe. The
work will be produced in America In about
two months, through the agency Of the well
known musical house of Jno. F. Stratton & Co.,
IS Maiden Lane, New York, as soon the first edi.
ton is printed. We wish the work all the sue

examined the manuscript in Leipsic, predicted
for it.-Sunsze1 MISS Sentinel Apra 49,.

A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
A Soldier Eludes the Police and
browns Himself.

Yesterday afternoon United States soldier was
seen lounging about in the neighborhood Of Jack
son Square. Strolling out on the wharf he, much
to the surprise Of those in the vicinity, expressed
determination to end his life then and there,
Little attention was paid to what was deemed an
idle threat until the soldier began to undress
for the purpose OF making plunge from the
wharf,
Acitizen expoutulated with him and sent for the
police. When they arrived on the spot they or
dered the soldier to dress himself and he made q
pretense of complying, but Watching favorable
opportunity, just as the hands on the Cathedral
clock pointed to 6:45 p NJ, he rushed to the
edge Of the wharf and jumped into the river.
The spectators, startled and Mortified, were
surprised to see the man boldly strike out for the
opposite shore. Approaching the fact that it
was impossible for him to stem the current, q
rope was thrown him, the end of which fell with
in easy reach /; but he pushed it aside and con-
tinued out. Then . plank was thrown to him !;
but this he avoided, and at the approach Of
skif, to insure the success Of his determination
he threw up his hands and sunk beneath the
waters.
He was tall, thin man, with black NOUS
tache, and his name was John Morrison, of Com
pany G, 18th Infantry.

Among the subjects for consideration at the
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Monday
night, we opine railway connection with Texas
will not be the least in Importance. The Rail-
road Committee have reported in favor of the
immediate organization OF company to build q
road through the Red River Valley to Shreveport
or Marshall This is above all others the road
New Orleahs needs most, and that it can be built
by our people we are assured by the members Of
the committee.
We have suffered much in days gone by for
the want of reliable support and by reason Of the
false representations Of mon whose wits were
their only capital, besides what they hoped to
obtain from our people.
The State Of Louisiana has paid enough to
have finished the entire road from New Or
leans to Houston, and our people should now
take the matter in hand themselves, and by
organization and united effort reduce the best
plan offered to q serious fact and that as soon
as possible.

OUR RIFLEMEN.

A meeting of well-known sportsmen and
crack rifle shots was held at No. IS st. Charles
street, last Friday evening, for the purpose o,
forming rifle club on the American plan.
Having a membership of some forty good
amateur shots for start, the club will soon
lie able to put forth team, to shoot at long
range, that the city will be proud of. The
gentlemen who have this orgalization in
hand are all well-known citizens, some Of
them our leading merchants, and when such
men take an interest in an organization Of
this kind it is bound to be success,
when it is understood that the park
selected will permit gentlemen to bring their
families down to enjoy the sport.

DR.. G. z. Richardson, who stands in the
front rank of our M. D., and whose time is
necessarily much taken up with the duties of
his profession, nevertheless finds leisure to
devote to the cultivation of rare plants and
flowers, and has, beyond doubt, the most
extensive, varied and valuable collection in
the South. A visit to his beautiful and COM
modious conservatory and hot-housei is among
the rarest of all possible treats. It is like a
translation from rude forest or arid plain to
an Eden. Our sweet and gentle mother Eve
had not one hundredth part of the exquisite
flowers and plants in her garden that have
their home in the Doctors wonderful con-
servatory, or she never could have survived
the expulsion. 1t would be worse than vain
to attempt description of the beauties that
present themselves on every side, for there
are single leaves that would require at once
an artist, botanist and poet to give even
The faintest idea of their marvellous and almost
miraculous beauty.
There are flowers SO dainty beautiful and
yet SO elaborate in design that no one, not
even that deftest Of all cunning word painters,
Tennyson himself, would venture to describe
them. There are hundreds of varieties of ferns
from the most delicate and fragile to those
with leaves more than two feet long. and
strangely enough, all the plants and even the
tiniest little flowers have names that only a
learned man can understand. The Doctor is
Justly proud of his beautiful pets, al of whom
he knows by name, and the peculiarities and
needs of which he understands as thoroughly
as mother comprehends the character and
dispositions Of her children, or as he knows
the requirements Of his human patients. It
must not be supposed, however, that he alone
has charge Of this superb collection, for his
wife has specially devoted herself to their
care, and they owe more to her careful nurs-
ing, wise judgme mt and great botanical lore,
than to the Doctors prescriptions.

sugar from the vegetable matter in the cane
without mechanical power.
IL sugar cane is cut into thin slices and COW
cred with water for some time, an exchange of
the liquid contents Of the cane and the surround
ing water will take place. After certain time
the water will contain the same percentage of
fdissolved sugar as the cane itself. By the usual
method of crushing the cane, the cellular struc-
ture Of the membrane is destroyed, and the al
bumen and other mucilagenous impurities are
thereby permitted to enter into the cane Juice.
1t is now proposed to organize q company with
capital of one hundred thousand dollars, for the
purpose Of using the process. The purpose is
to purchase the Louisa Place, about seventeen
miles from the city, on the right bank of the
river, and erect sugar-house and machinery
The proposed site is within few hundred Yards
of the Donaldsonville and Morgan Railroad. and
the agents OF both these roads recognizing the
importance Of developing the cultivation of cane
along their respective routes, the agents have
offered to transport cane for the factory at
exceedingly low rates.

whereas, they are now restricted to the cultva-

cane having been established, great impetus
will be given to its culture in this State
1t is proposed to fix the production at not less
than 1900, 600 lbs. sugar, and no diiulty is ap-
pretended in securing the requisite cane at IS

long as he may desire it, we are authorized to
expect that he will never more allow any
partisan sentiment to interfere with HE judi
cial opinions. While men are toiling in pain
to rise, their hopes and fears will give tone to
their utterances and color to their opinions;
but after the pinnacle of their aspiration is
reached and their heads are raised to the gilded
clouds Of their ardent dreams, it would seem
that they should have no further wish than to
show themselves worthy CT their success by
doing their duty and giving exercise to their
talents.
Could we have our wish the character of the
American judiciary would be exalted above
the reach of interest and wholly beyond the
range of suspicion. It is human nature to
venerate and almost adore excellence Of moral
character as well as excellence of talent; in
the persons of our judges We would fain have
objects that would give food and satisfaction
to this natural appetite for excellence.
Whatever corrupt and vicious pranks and
capers the politicians, in or out of place,
might play, there should be one direction in
which the American citizen might turn his eyes
without having cause for shame and indigna-
ton. There should be one institution at least
OF which the American lawyer might justly
boast, even while standing among the per-

The Herd Inv.

We see is stated in several Of the pa
pers of Iowa, on the authority of the Du-
buquc Times, that in order to keep the
Herd Law in force in any county it has
to lie annually submitted to a vote of the
county by the action of the Supervisors
in June. We d not SO read the law Sec
ton ,457 Of Chapter 3, of Title II, on
page 2G1 of The Code of 1874, does so pro-
vide. But by reference to Section LIST, Of
Chapter 70 Of the acts of 1874, it will be
seen this section in the Code was re-
pcalcd. And the law Of 1874 provides
that when once adopted by county, it
'Will coutiruc in force until the end of
ninety days after an election at which, on
Il re-subnission of the same question, a
majority of the electors of the county
voting thereon shall vote against the
same This is plain enough in the alb
scncc OF any provision requiring the
question to be submitted annually by the
supervisors. Once adopted, it is in force
until the lsw is repealed or rejected by
the people when submitted to them. The
article of the Times was creating some
uneasincss in courtns where the Board
had taken no action in juno last. But
they may rest. 1t requires no annual
adoption to keep it in force.-Register.

\ ScasOnabic Hint.

Considerable has been said in medical
journals concerning the value of milk as
Il remedial agent in certain diseases. An
interesting article upon this subject lately
appeared in the London -Hik Joarn"l, in
which it is stated, on authority of Dr.
Benjamin Clarke, thai in the Fast Indies
warm milk is used 10 a great extent rs a
specific for diarrhca. \ pint every four
hours will c,,cck the most violent diarrhca
stomaC1achc, incipicnt cholera and dyson
terry. The milk should meyer be boiled, but
heated sufficiently to be agrceabiy warm
not too hot to drink. Milk which has
been boiled is not fit for use. The writer
gives several instances 10 show the value
of this simple substance in HrrGStins this

Ten hours, and have tried it, l Should
think, fifty times. have given it to Il
dying man, who had been subject to dys-
EMERY eight months, latterly accompan-
led by one continual diarrhca, and it acted
on him like charm. La two days his
diarrhea was geae, and ia three weeks he
became 4 hale, fat man, and ROW nothing
that may hereafter occur will cvcr shake

1t checks diarrl,ce and cools the body.
People suffering from diseases require
food as much as those in health, and
much more so in certain diseases where
there is rapid waste Of tke system.
Frequently all ordinary food, in certain
diseases is rejected by the stomach, and
even loathcd by the patient; bat nature,
ever bencfcent, has furnished food that
in all diseases is bcnetical-in some di
rcctly curative. Such food is milk"
The writer in the journal last quoted, Dr.
Alexander Yale, after giving particular
observations upon the points above men
toned, viz: its action in checking diar-
rhea, its nou. ishing properties and its ac-
ton in cooling the body, says: "Wc be-
Iieve that milk nourishes in fever, pro
notes sleep, wards off dclirum, soothes
the intcslncs, and, n fine, is the sine qua
non in typhoid fever"
Another writer in the same journal
says: "Wc have also lately tested the
value of milk in scarlet fever, and learn
that i: is now recommended by the medi- |
cal faculty in all cases Of this often very
distressing children's disease. Give all
