Tne river is rising all the way up again.

Monroe Intelligencer, April 18th On Sun
day night about eleven O'Clock, a small frame
dwelling, belonging to Mahala James and
John Hall, on Desiard street, near Young S
Bayou, was destroyed by fire. As,he inmates
were all absent at church and there had beer
no fire about the place for several hours pre-
vious, there is no doubt that the fire was the
work of an incendiary. There was no insn
rance and none Of the furniture and clothing
in the house was saved.-Mr. Savan Mel
son, contractor for the building OF the Baptist
Church at the corner Of Grammon, and ST.
John streets, put a large number of mechanics
at work during the 1-st week, and will from
now on energetcally push forward its erection
until it is completed.

Tnat EbreW Jew.
BY BRET HARTE
There once was a tradesunan renowned as a screw
Who sold pins and needles and caIicoes too
Till he built up a fortune-the which it grew
lust ruined small traders the whole city through-
Yet thing he knew
Between me and you,
There a distinction
Twixt Christian and Jew.
Till be died IN his mansion-a great millionaire
The owner Of thousands-but nothing spare
For the needy and poor who from hunger might drop,
And only pittance to clerks in his shop.
But left it all to
A lawyer who knew
A subtle distinction
'Twixt Ehrew and Jew.
This man was trader, but simply friend
OF this gent who kept shop, who. nearing end
Handed q millon-'twas only his due,
Who discovered this contrast 'twixt Ebrew and Jew
For he said, '' If you view
This case az do
There a distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.D
"For the Jew is a man who will make money through
His skill, his hnesse, and his capital too,
And an Ebrew's a that Gentles can do
So yon see there's contrast 'twixt Ebrew and Jew.

Jew and EbreE,

he kept up his business Of needles and pins,
But always day he atoned for his sins,
But the day (for that wouldn't do)
That the Jew faced his with the awful Ebrew.
For this man he knew,
Between me and you,
There 4 distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.
So he sold soda water, and shut up the fount
OF druggist whose creed the Speech the Mount,
And e trafflcked in CATERS and ruined The trade
OF a German whose creed by great Luther made.
But always he knew,
Between me and you,
A subtle distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.
Then he kept a hotel-here his trouble began
In q fashion unknown to his primitive plan
For the rule Of his hcnse his manager ran,
Don't give entertainment Israelite man."
Yet the manager knew,
Between me and you,
No other distinction

NOTHING LIKE IRON.

Recent deep-sea soundings have been
made with piano wire, instead OF hemp
rope, and it has uniformly proved more
manageable and in every way superior
Experiments with steel hawsers, to take
the place of the immense hemp hawsers
used on iron.clads, give similar results in
favor of steel. In recent experiments
undertaken by the British admiralty,
one hundred and eighty fathoms Of
eigbt-inch steel wire hawser were coiled
on reel, the outside measurement Of
which was five feet square. A twenty
five inch hemp hawser, one hundred and
twenty fathoms long, was coiled in "a tier
forty-two feet long and fourteen feet
wide. Twelve men handled the eight
inch steel hawser without difficulty, and
two .of their number took two turns
with it around gun-post one foot in
diameter, without injury to the wire.
Forty-eight men were required to handle
the twenty-five inch hawser, and even
that number could not range it along
the ground without the use of trucks,
and they could only take one turn with
this hawser around post foot and
a-hali in diameter. The steel hawser,
besides its other advantages, weighs only
'ne-third as much as the hemp hawser

Deep PtoscitJ for Corn.

a correspondent of the Rural World
remarks as follows: 1t is better to raise
one hundred bushels of corn on one acre
of ground than fifty bushels per acre on
two acres. The yield could De doubled
on nearly every acre of ground in culti-
walton in the west. What is wanted is
deeper blowing and better preparation
CT the soil and more thorough after cul-
tiyation. The Swimming over the ground
is one of the greatest evils in western
farming. Pillow deep and then cross
piow deep, and you prepare food and
moisture for the plants and enable them
10 resist the droughts, and make them
laugh and thrive and bear abundantly.
On the above, Moore's Rural New
Yorker says: The positive iteration of
generAlities, and especially the emphasis
placed on deep blowing for corn, invites
the suspicion that the writer was airing
some very plausible theories, instead of
writing from practical experience. 1t
may be under certain circumstances thai
corn will do better on deeply plowed
ground; but we never saw such a case.
AS for "cross-plewing" deep for corn,
We know that this is only theory for if
corn is planted on newly-turned sod, as
it should be, cross blowing would only
turn the sod uppermost again. Most
probably the writer of the paragraph
quoted does not know anything of the
subject which he was discussing, but has
borrowed some plausible ideas from the
agricultural wisdom always floating in
the newspapers.

GOIdeH Ruie JO, Farmers.

A correspondent OF the Country Gen
tleman concludes letter of more thar
common interest with the following sensi
BILE suggestions:
l. Be sure you know the branch o.
farming you want to follow. Select that
which suits you best, and in which you
will be most contented and the most
deeply interested. Do not be persuaded
that this, that, or the other will not nee,
essarily ruin your soil-especially dairy,
ing, which if properly conducted is sim
ply species OF mixed husbandry.
2. Having once decided what you will
do, concentrate your forces and 60 at it.
3. You are supposed to be man of
brain AMI muscle. If you do not pos
sess fair degree OF both it would do
better to let farming alone. You are
also supposed to be married If not,
would not advise you to wait till you are
tlirty-fve (unless you live in Connect
cut), but marry when you get ready, if
you can, an amiable woman, not deficient
in brain or music, who has sense enough
to know that bread and butter are not
products of the imagination, but of the
soil, and who understands making these
articles in all their perfection. A wo
man who can make excellent bread and,
butter, although she may be familiar
with Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson,
Moore or hundred other authors, will
also take an interest in your agricultu-
raj papers, and in the cultivation of
plants, fruits, flowers, etc, which rem
ders farmers home pleasant and at
tractive.
A. 1t is well to keep out of debt, but
you need not wait till you have earned
enough by "day's work" to pay wholly
for farm. Neither need you wait till
you are gray for some respected relative
to drop Oft and leave you a legacy. If
you have money enough to stock the
farm you intend buying and can make
a fair payment down, and have reason
able period for paying the balance, 90
ahead. 1t is store debts, backsmiths'
and shoemakers bills, and debts of this
class, you must beware Of Raise your
own provisions; that is what farm is
tor. There are men in this neighbor-
hood who profess to be farmers, who
yearly buy their beef, pork, wheat, fruit,
etc, of their neighbors, simply because
they are too careless to look after these
important details of farm economy.

BURGLARS TOOLS.

Who furnishes the tools for bulgars :?
Any mechanic who has seen a complete
kit, such as were ON exhibition in safe
establishment at Cincinnati about year
ago, and which had been used in an at
tempt to rob bank at Covington, has
seen complement of ingenious tools
such as only accomplished mechanics
could design or manufacture. Of these
referred to, quite number were for pur.
poses that novice would be puzzled to
know to what use they could possibly be
put, until made plain, when he would
be greatly amazed at their adoption to
the end in view. An English journal,
copying from New York paper, says
there are large manufactures OF such i'm
PIGMENTS in New York, Philadelphia,
and number of places throughout the
west. No one establishment 1t is said
makes the set complete, but that part is
made at one place and part at another.
That people who want such tools can
get them themselves there can be no
doubt, but that there are regular manufac-
.ories for such things We very much

Cutticstisn Of Strawberries.

MI. Samuel Miller, of Blufflon Mo-.
recently read an address on this subject
before the horticultural society of that
state, from which we make the following
extract
In the first place, let the ground be
cultivated deep aad be made very rich.
Get good strong plants and set them out
as early in the spring as the ground
will admit. For regular field culture
we would recommend planting one foot
apart in the row, and the rows three
feet apart. Cultivate thoroughly the
first season, keeping off all the runners,
and in the fall, as soon as the ground
freezes, cover the whole with straw.
weeds, or any other. kind of litter Let
the towering be thickest between the
rows and be but thinly spread on the
plants. In the spring, part the covering
at the crown of the plants, and wait until
the fruit is ripe; and if these instruc-
nsbe properly carried cut, the grower
viii be astonished atthe result, if he
