OUR FRIENDS and subscribers will be
pleased to hear that we have perfected
arrangements with the publishers OF
the INDUSTRIAL RECORD of ST..
Louis, whereby we are enabled to fur
Bish the DEMOCRAT and the INDUS
TRIAL RECORD, (both weekly,) for
the low price of $3.50. We make this
offer for the purpose of largely increas-
ing our circulation. Those who have
been in the habit of subscribing for q
foreign paper instead of that published
In their own Parish, can now have both
for the price Of one. The INDUSTRI-
AL RECORD is an Agricultural, Me-
chanical and Family Newspaper, of six
teen pages, full of choice reading, mar
ket reports, &C., costing alone $3.50 per
annum. We want the subscription of
every farmer, merchant and mechanic
in the Parish for this spendid offer.-

VIZ regret, to learn of the death
of an old friend and acquaintance of
ours, Thomas Jacobs, Of Shreveport.
He died few days since at Moscow,
Texas, and will long be remembered
as good mau and genial companion.
He was one of the Oldest and most
faithful steamboat clerks of Red Riv-
er, and will leave void in that line.
We have known him for many long
years and have cause to write know
ingly of him and his worth, and
sacredly drop this humble wreath on
his new made grave.

THE CROPS.

The dullness Of the times, the
sta nation of Town business and the
perfect lull in all excitement here,
and more particularly the dearth OF
subject matter for an old stager to
yentilate to his readers and pile on
his agony, have so worried US and
racked our brain editorial, that we
are driven to our oasis in our desert:
the crops. What word Of five letters
conveys more huge meaning and
grand significance? After all old
mother earth is our Pandora box,
from which must spring wealth,
prosperity, happiness, in word all
the good we hope for here below,
and therefore we can but be pardoned
in our emergency to string out some
thing in the crop line, more particu-
larry now that we can boast of them
and their bright prospects.
From every corner of the Parish,
from the Western line beyond the
Calcasieu and Ten Mile, to the North
East side of our fertile Parish, good
and cheering news reaches us Of the
really fine growing crop of corn, cot
ton and cane, and hardly from any
single spot does the wall Of the
croaker reach US. This is almost
unprecedented and refreshingly en-
couraging, and can but give us good
cheer for the future. With such
prospects in store for us and our bus.
mess ones here, does it not become
us all to still keep stiff that upper lip
of hope and good will, and with re-
signed humiliation, weather the Sum-
mer dullness and trim our sails of
economy and retrenchment to meet
with-a smile of gratitude the gather
ing harvest of coming prosperity.

PEACHES ron THE ENGLISH MARKET.-
The steamship Ohio, which is to sail from
Philadelphia for Liverpool tomorrow, will
carry out the first shipment of peaches
over made from this country to that market.
Very nearly the same plan has been adopted
to preserve the fruit that was adopted years
ago, in sending apples from Boston to ia
maica and the East Indies. The peaches
viii be packed IN ice the same as apples
werc-but as further precaution, it is pro
posed to operate by means Of fans, forcing
air over the ice with such rapidty that the
temperature will not exceed thrty-eight de-
grees. No outside air is to be admitted and
the same air over again is passed quickly
through the fruit. without moisture interven-
ing. This process also preserves the ice.
The gasSes emitted from the fruit are drawn
to the ice and disposed of, keeping the fruit
in condition for weeks. Some twenty thou.
sand barrels of apples are shipped annually
from Boston to China and the East Indies
by sailing ships, and these apples arrive in
good order even after six months voyage
and there is little reason to doubt that
peaches carefully picked, and sound, can
reach Liverpool by steamer in condition to
supply that market as well as Boston OF
New York are supplied. American peaches
in the English markets will prove as great a
rarity as did the first invoice of Baldwin
apples in 1912.

ASSASSINATION OF A SoUTH AMERICAN
PREsrpENr-Adyices from Panama say
that Guayaquil is thrown into great excite
ment by the news of the assassination of
Garcia Moreno, in his palace at Quito, by an
officer, Captain Rayo, whom he had displaced
from some office, and by two young men of
Quito, called Comcjo. Rayo first struck the
President, either over the head or shoulders,
with maehete,and was instantly run through
by a sentry on duty, who fired his piece and
killed the assassin Immediately. Two young
men, after Rayo had struck the President
fired on the latter with their reyolyers. The
President fell on his face MORALLY wounded
and has since died. The two young men es-
capped. No disturbance followed but great
alarm seized ON all foreigners, and strong
reasons exist for believing that there will be
a massacre of the foreign priests. An adj
dress by the Governor of the Province of
Guayaquil, 10 the army, says Z" The charge
of the government will be undertaken by an
individual designated by the constitution. -
The republic is declared in a state of siege
and the Governor is clothed with extnordin.
AIRY faculties provided for by the political
code Of the country. The Governor appeals
to the chiefs, officers and soldiers, to assist
him in maintaining order and sustaining in
dividual guarantees.

THE PENsioS Lisr.-The terrible war of
the rebellion, which, like that of 1912, may
now be styled the last war, has its long list
of veterans, who share in the country's
bounty. From the annual statement Of the
pension office it appears that the list is now
steadily decreasing. Until July, 1873, the
pension cases were on the increase, and on
June 30, 1873, the number Of pensioners on
the rolls was two hundred and thrty-fve
thousand two hundred and eleven. On July
80, 1874, there were two hundred and thirty
two thousand nine hundred aud five, de-
crease of two thousand three hundred and
six. On June 80, 1875, the number was two
hundred and twenty-eight thousand and
thirty-four, decrease of four thousand
eight hundred and seveuty-oue from 1874 to
1875, or over twice as many as from 1873 to
1874 These figures show that the maximum
number was reached in 1873, and it is now
expected that the decrease will continue
from this time forward. The above figures
are all on the army rolls and the decrease
comes mostly from the widows division,
and from the deaths OF soldiers Of the war Of
1872. The navy rolls contain only few
thousand names, and the number has but
slightly decreased. The amount paid for
pensions during the year ending June 30
1874, was s3O,5200j3, and the amount paid
for the year ending june 80, 1873, was $40,
10000, or about million aud quarter
less than the previous year.

AMERICAN SHTrBuHDING.-lt i. very
unfortunate for the iron ship-builling inter
est IN this country that the two largest ships
yet built on the Delaware should have turned
out so badly. All accounts agree in repre-
senting the City Of Peking and the City Of
Toxic, built last year for the Pacific Mail
Company, byJohn Roach, Of Philadelphia, rs
lamentable failures. They were constructed
in such weak and ilimsy manner that they
are not unlikelybio prove dad los, to their
owners at least, this is the report from san
Francisco. The trouble with them was not
that the quality Of iron used was poor, but
that the rivetng Of the plates was careessly
and hastily done, aud the ships cannot stand
the strain of o sea voyage The real explain
alton Of this bad work will probably be found
in the fact that the work was done with inn
proper haste in order to get the vessels afoat
and thereby sustain the 'clinng credit Of
the Pacific Mail Company, and sayet the sub
sidy which congress had voted the line for
an increased seryise. Roach himself spent
his time lobbying for the Pacific Mail Com
pany, in Washington, when he should have
been attending to his ship yard in Philadel
phia. The failure of these two steamships
will cause unfayorable comment abroad on
our iron manufacture but whatever may be
said in this connection, it is well to rcmem
her, as the Baltimore american suggests
that two hundred aud twenty five iron steam
ers have been built Oh the d laware, and thi.
is the first case in which the construction
has turned out to be- badly done
