New Orleans prospects are said to
be decidedly picking up on the strength
of the cotton aud political outlook.
Many noted citizens, who fed from its
tyrannical carpet-bag rule, arc return
ing to resume their old places: aud
help to build up the general prosperity
again.
They have an i,nitator of Jesse
Pomeroy in San Francisco. He IS
but ten years Of age, aud has already
developed a disposition to torture
Young children and animals. He
skinned dog alive, and inveigling a

The New Orleans Picayune, of
Tuesday last, closes a review of the
crop prospect in Louisiana thus: ''lt
seems to be perfectly fair presump-
tion that the hopes which have been
built on the crop of 1S75in Louisiana
will, with very few exceptions, be
fully realized. We do not believe in
encouraging exaggerated ideas and fos-
tering expectations that can never be
grati6ed; but it is equally uuwise and
certainly much more dishonest to take
the opposite extreme. We think we
are doing neither when we say that
the splendid promises of the spring
are abundantly reiterated now on the
very eve of harvest time"
A Grange meeting took place at
Erwin's Mills, on the Saluda, six miles
east of Honea Path, on Wednesday
last It was addressed by Col. j. n.
Lipscomb, State lecturer. Twenty
FIVE hundred persons were present, in
Guiding large number of ladies. A
subscription of s35, 1000 was made to
build a cotton factory at that place:
the capital stock of which has been
fixed at $4,000. The fine water
power is presented to the company by
the liberal owner, Mr.. Erwin. The
prospects of getting this factory into
operation at an early day are quite
good. Shares are fixed at S25, and
may be taken by others than those
who are members of the order of the
Grange. The enterprise is not limited
to the Grange, but is projected under
its auspices.
A Georgia girl gives the following
reasons why she kicks the boys, and
they are good ones. And when all
the girls 60 on this schedule, we will
have fewer cases of vagabouds marry
ing good women. A man who will
marry woman and make no effort to
support her, ought to be hung to the
lamp-post
s'The reason the boys are Kicked"
says she, ''is because so many Of them
have kicked out of the plow handles,
laid by the shovel and the hoe and are
trying to make inferior doctors, law
yers, preachers and school teachers,
and others sit under shade trees in
lord!y style and squirt tobacco juice
freely, but absolutely do nothing use
full. Go to work honestly" says this
irate maiden, ''and you will not only
have no cause to complain of being
'kicked;' but many find worthy wives
who will make you holp-meets for
your benefit, and who will seek to
make you happy
