THE WEALTH OF BRAZIL.

All intelligent travellers who have
visited Brazil speak in the most glow
ing terms of the country. Professor
Agassiz regarded II as tho most pro
ductive and interesting country on the
globe, and one in which il is the east
est to obtain livelihood. Some who
have sailed up the Amazon declare that
vessel can be loaded with Brazil nuts
at an expense of only few cents per
bushel These constitute valuable
article Of commerce, while the oil ex-
tracted from them is very desirable.
All the tropical fruits are produced in
Brazil almost without cultivation
The soil in many parts of the country
will produce twenty Successive crops
of cotton, tobacco or sugar-cane with
out the application of manure. No
country in tho world approaches the
land Of Dom Pedro in the variety Of
its forest productions. Professor Agas-
siz states that he saw III different
kinds of valuable woods that were cut
from piece OF land not half mile
square They represented almost every
variety of color, and many of them
were capable Of receiving a high polish
One tree furnishes wax that is used
for candles, another pith that is used
for food, and still another yields Juice
which is used in the place of intoxicat-
ing liquors. There is single variety
of palm from which the natives obtain
food, drink, clothing, bedding, cordagc,
fishing tackle, medicine, and the ma.
terial they manufacture into dwellings,
weapons, harpoons, and musical in.
strumonts. Doubtless the day is not
far distant when the valuable woods
Of Brazil will be used for various use
fil and oramentalpurposes. Brazil is
not only "wooden country" but q
country that produces the most won
derfhl woods in the world.

A STRANGE STORY.

Ono OF the most singular cases in
criminal records has Just been brought
to light in the Bow Street Court in
London. BY the merest chance Of q
miscarried letter plot was discover
ed to take the life OF person by tho
most deliberate and careful means, in
which plot the person whose life was
to be taken is believed TO have taken
a prominent, IL not the leading part.
The facts, us far as developed, are
these. 1t seems that letter was re-
turned uncalled for, and found its way
into the dead letter Office at ST. Mar
s-le-Grand. The clerk who read the
letter found its contents so extraordi.
nary that he deemed it his duty to
communicate it to his chief 1t prov
cd to bo written by young medical
student named Vance. After saying
that "there is risk of discovery in what.
ever mode OF death" Vance went on
TO explain at length device by which
the desired death might be accomplish
ed, and at the same time the avenging
steps OF Justice arrested The instru-
ment Of death was TO be chleral with
coolness which wonld be amusing
were il not SO Qbastly. he remarks that
the poisoners, Pritchard and Palmer
were indeed detected, but they lived
before these choral times" Death
having ensued, suspicious circumstan-
ccs were to be admitted when the case
came before the coroner, in the hope
that no real clue would be found, and
that a verdict of death by misadvcn-
turon might be obtained. Considering
that this letter was. in all probability,
written to the very person upon whom
the experiment was to be attempted,
young Dir. vance's suggestions are
nothing less than amazing. He says:
"If YOU like, chloral might be admins
tered to dog or cat or YOU might
try yourself an ordinary dose, and be
thereby cognizant OF the bona fdes of
the agent" Then he tells his cores
pondent that he wishes an early meet
ing, "to have it off my mind, which is
natural and human !" and, very lucki-
" for the police, proceeds to give the
correct address OF the office in which
he was at work, and where, as he saws.
by the way, he has access to the
"drugs bottles. and labels"
Young DR. Vance was thus easily
found at ono end of the string; and
the devices of the police soon discover
ed that a woman was at the other end
Letters came asking for the miscarried
letter; and by responding to these and
watching the person who asked for the
responses a woman named Helen Since
was duly caught and arrested. Mean.
while, Vance delivered into the hands
of the police letter, presumably writ.
ten by her. which evidently indicated
that Helen Since was the person whose
life was to. be sacrificed. al am tired
of lifc.n she said in this letter. IL Icould

ry." The arrest OF Helen Since to
certain degree cleared up the mystery.
She had advertised Tor the assistance
of n medical man. and Vance had an.

BELLiGERENT WARNER.
A Blacksmith that Can Use the Knife
as Well as the Hammer.

About Z o'clock last evening, Louis
Fisher, blacksmith, gave vent to his
feelings at the head of the New Basin
by assaulting and telling to the earth
E.. Y. Evans and stabbing man named
Adam Warner. The wounded man was
conveyed to his residence. corner OF
Rampant and Girod streets, where a
DEMOCRAT reporter visited him and
cleaned the following particulars
Warner states that he, with Fisher and
Evans, was on the steamer Mary Ida,
when Fisher accused him tWarner) and
his friend Evans with having done GER
tain things which were detrimental to
his (Warner's) interests. There was con-
siderable talk about the matter, when
Fisher left the boat. Warner, together
with Evans, shortly after the departure
of Fisher, also left the boat. While pro-
ceeding home and arriving on Rampant
street near Delord, they were met by
Fisher, who, without a word, felled
Evans to the ground. Warner remon-
strated with Fisher, who, with an oppro-
brious epithet, rushed upon Warner, at
the same time drawing dirk knife,
stabbed him in the left shoulder, inflict-
ing dangerous wound. Warner, after
the consumation OF mis- work, made good
his escape.

rich section OF the parish will tend to
diminish the corn crop. The cane thus
far has not been seriously damaged by
dry weather; 1t Is nearly all laid by, and
an early rain, OF which there is every
appearance, will insure a full crop
throughout the parish.-[ Assumption
Chronicle, July Is.
The lapse ofanother week requires at
our hand a notice Of the crops OF the
parish. From our own observation and
the information of intelligent planters.
we fix the status Of the cotton crop OF
the parish to-day at one half the
promise of safue date last year. This
state Of things came shout in this way :
Last crop was heavy, picking late, gin
ming and baling into January and Feb
ruary. This made blowing backward.
When cotton was ready to scrape, a
rainy spell set in, which continued for
nenrly two weeks, In which no Held
work could be done; when 1t broke
away the six weeks drnuth set In and
has endured, with slight exceptions,
until the present time. Every acre OF
-suExa and cotton needed work at once
the ground became har.lv and the crops,
foul, and us they were cleaned out the
dry weather prevented growth, anu
great backwardness in the size OF the
plants was the necessary and uhavoId4'
able result. If the season should, for
six or eight weeks to come give suf1i-
cient rain, improvement would result,
but this is contingent. and we speak
only of the present condition OF the cot
ton crop here.
The rain OF Wednesday evening did
not reach more than tour miles west of
town. and so we are still anxiously wait
ing for general rain 10 retrieve in
some degree the situation. al.f.
No further report Of the caterpillar,
and unless we get u heavy general raiI
the blazing weather is enough to kill
any individual pillar with sun
stroke.
There are thought to be 10000 acres
which produced good crops last year,
not in cultivation the present season,
chiefly in the overllowed district. ~
