On Saturday last the residence of
Mr.. Conrad Long, situated about one
mile from town, was entirely destroyed
by fire. When first discovered there
was ne one at home except Mrs. Long,
the wife of the unfortunate sufferer,
and before any assistance could be
rendered the building was so far gone
as to preclude all hopes Of saving it.
Mr.. Longs loss is great, and as he is a
poor man, will be more keenlyss felt.
Besides the destruction of all his cloth
ing and furniture, Mr.. Long lost be.
tween eight hundred and thousand
pounds of bacon. We understand
that measures for his relief have been
instituted which we hope may prove
successful. Rock. Register.

+. The Baltimore American says: In
the present depressed state of our in
dustries and commercial life there is
one subject that deserves large
share Of attention, and that is-in~
dlyidnal economy. 1t cannot be
denied that no cause has so much con
tribnted to bring about hard times as
our general extravaganza, both public
and private, and nothing will SO much
aid to relieve them as to remove the
cause. We spend more money for the
same amount Of happiness than any
other people. Our homes, our food,
our dress, our pleasures, and our MINOR.
habits and customs, in nearly all res
spects call for vastly more resources to
keep them up than those Of any other
land; in fact they could not be mains
tanned in any other country at all
As result of this, we find ourselves
in such stringent times as these, when
We cannot get large wages or make
great profits, suffering for the COM
forts Of life because We have not learned
to separate them from the luxuries and
take them without extravaganza. In
other countries the times are never
better than they are here, and the
people never make more money than
we make now But the difference is
that the life Of the people elsewhere is
adjusted to a smaller amount of means
and the facilities for getting such com.
forts as are indulged in by all are
regulated with a view to greater
cheapness, there being less waste by
the consumer, and less profit to the
dealer. Our people are generally still
making enough money to live. CON-
fortably. If. therefore. we adjust oul
expenditures to more economical Gus
toms, we will still get along with al
orr former comforts. The hard times
will have been a benefit to us IF the,
teach us to adopt cheaper ways o
living WELL "t@eL zatL

aForty Acres aud a Mule,

From the Shreveport Times)g 4 eE
The New Orleans Bulletin few days
since contained an account Of the opera
tions of colored man named Henry
Wilson, alias Grow, who has literally
avsiled himself Of the forty acres Of land
and mule 'sclause." 1t seems that when
Warmoth was Governor, Wilson had cons
siderable influence as a ward politician,
aud rs areward for his services to the
Radical party Warmoth gave him the fol-
lowing paper, which he showed to the
deputies who went to serve notice on
him as lefendant in acase brought by the
Sisters of the Holy Cross
osFor services renderedthe Republican
party, the bearer Is entitled to forty scfss
and q mule. H.C WARMoTH."
We presume this was a bit 81 .humor as
we'll as OF policy on the part Of the Exc
cutive. However, armed With this Off.
cial document, Wilson started ont in
search Of the promised laud. He dis
covered fertile spot of ground in the
rear Of the Third District, about four
squares in extent, at the cornerof Desire
and Genius streets. and entered into pos
session of the same. He FIRST dug canal
around the place, constructed adraw.
bridge, and after thus fortifving his, do
main afterthe manner peculiar to the feu
daiages, went 10 work planting orange
treas and raising vegetables TheId
hridgsswas raised at night and let down
in Ne morning as q means of defense
against marauders and freebooters.
He was undisturbed for q number Of
years, but.a change came at last The
Sisters OF the Holy Cross di c ,vered that
the land was theirs Legal steps were ia.
kento disposscss the intruder. But when
the officer served upon him the Judgment
OF the Court with notice giving him
three days to yacate, the negro coolly in
formed him that hc would die before he
would leave. He then called into hi.
fortress the darkeys OF the neighhorhood
laid in 4 asupply OF provisions, raised the
drawbridge and the banner Of defiance a
the same time, and thus the matter stood
atthe last account we have seen.
