FROM THE COUNTRY PRESS.
The weather has been hot
enough in Webster parish to pop
corn. The Minden Democrat says:
Mr.. John j. Garter gave Us coup,
le ears Of popcorn, the grains Of
which had popped open on the
stalk in the field, from heat of the
sun. II grew on Messrs. Carter
and Meals plantation, near the
Bosier line. Their plantation is
some miles nearer Bellevue than
Minden.'
Mr.: Dufossat Gregoire, residing
on the lane leading from Bayou
Lafourche to Brule Sacramento,
attempted to commit suicide Tues
day night, shooting himself twice
in the throat with small revolv-
or, the balls ranging upward, one
striking a tooth in the upper jaw,
the other lodging in the roof Of
the mouth. At last accounts Mr..
Gregoire was still alive, though in
an extremely precarious condition.
In view of conflicting reports re-
lative to the causes which led to
the rash act, we refrain from fur.

nation is Observation-Disclosures

The Police Jury at it's last ses-
sion adopted very sensible ordi-
nance requiring q liceuce one of thou.
sand dollars for all persons buy

ton of this ordinance is no doubt
to wind up the traffic in seed cotton.
and VIC hope for the benefit of the

The low waters in Bayou La
fourche this and last year, seems
to give good evidence Of the effect
of the jetties at the mouth of the
Mississippi. The washing away Of
the entertainments Of sand at this
point, admitting a greater and
lower egrcss Of water, is seen in
the greater fall at Donaldsonville
by which the entire water almost
or quite. ceases to enter into the
Lafourche at all.

CorToN WoRNs.-From gentle-
men who have travelled extensively
throughout the country, we learn
that the reports about damages
done by cotton worms have been
greatly exaggerated. In some To-
calities they have not suffered at
all, while ia no places should the
damage be estimated at one half
crop.
Last week, in the Big Woods
east of st. Martinsville, the body
Of a man was found in an advanced
stage of decomposition, and his
horse, with saddle on, was grazing
near by. The remains proved to
be those of P hillmon JUDGE, an old
gentleman of Fausse Point, whose
mind had been unsound for years.
He travelled about the country Of
ten and it is supposed he became
suddenly sick, lay down and died
while on journey.-(Sugar-Bc,cI.

NAMES.

The question is often asked.
What's in a name The an
swer might be returned. Al
most everything; so much de-
ponds upon the power of as
ISOLATION.
Generally speaking, the
modern lie which is appended
to every name that will admit
of it, and to some that will
not, renders them senseless
and insipid in the extreme.
Where is the appropriateness;
or where, pray, is the im-
provement, when the almost
holy name Of Mary? is trans
formed into Mollie 1t is lit
tie better than sacrilegel
|. When the name of Margar-
ct is spoken we instinctively.
associate it with something
pure, and cool and refreshing,
like . NOISY nook among the
shadows; where the li,npid
water, dripping constantly,
keeps it cool and moist; such
a place as we like to hide
away in from the sun-glare
aud heat. But when the
pure, pearl-1ike name is mu-
tilated until it becomes Mag
gle, the purity and softness
encircling it like a halo van
ish in a moment, and a saucy
hoyden usurps the place in
our thoughts.
Helen is queen>like and
peerless; yet it may give pre-
cedence to the musical SUBJ
stitute Of Nellie without de-
triment, it being one Of the
few names which do not suffer
by the change. The names
borne by our mother aud sis
ters are very precious, though
ever so ccmely and unmusical;
and in how many a heart are
holy memories conjured up
by the carelessly spoken
names of Sarah, Martha, Eliza
beth, and Jane!
Lucy is always sweet and
quiet ; Fanny is lively, pig
uaut, and graceful; Ruth is
precise and Quaker-llke; while
Louise is the very embodi-
ment Of fit: and mischief.
Kate, which is not an abbre-
Walton of Katharine, is ,ou
coquettish; it savours too
strongly Of hearts won only
to be thrown lightly aside;
and Maria is always a staid,
matronly body
! We once heard a gentle
man express a preference for
Betsy, because it was his
mothers name. He could
not have given a more beau
tiful reason, and we honor
him as he honored his moth.
err,
Olive and Lydia are but
other names for prudence and
discretion. The name Of
Susan, when applied to a drea'
my imaginative girl, is a mis-

better, while the former
name should be bestowed up
on some bewitching. black.

to part with him, and did so at the
earliest opportunity. Another far
mer in that neighborhood, being in
need Of a hand upon his domain,
sent his young and pretty wife over
to the neighbor who had previously
employed the ex-convict; in search
of a laborer, and the aforesaid
young wife, Notwithstanding the
character of the youthful ex-convict,
concluded to engage him. 1t was
evident from the very first that the
young wife was interested in the
new hand, but suspicion was not
fully reused to the fact until the
two began to take buggy rides to-
gether, and otherwise made known
that there was something more be-
tween them than should exist be-
tween mistress and servant.
In order to prevent scandal the
twain, or the wife, at least, per-
suaded the latter's sister to accom-
pany them upon their rides, and
thus matters went on until the
husband, who was not of a nature
to easily find fault, concluded that
he couldn't stand it any longer, and
consequently forbade his consort to
have anything further to do with
the festive jail-bird. She filed a
demurrer to this and announced
her intention of having her own
way. The husband appealed to his
wiIe's sister, and, after informing
her of the true character of the
man whom she had been gallanting
around, she had her eyes opened
and joined the husband in endeav-
oring to induce the wife to change
her course. The latter, however,
was determined, and the husband,
Ill order to bring the crisis to a
pass, gave her to understand that
the next time she went riding with
his jail-birdShip that he (the hus-
band) would riddle him (the cx-
convict) with shot. This had a
salutary effect for two or three
days, for the wife well knew hel
husband would keep his word. But
the infatuation was too strong, and
about week ago she bid goodbye
to her home and friends, and eloped
with the object Of her affection
And thus endeth sad but Ger true
tale.

the young bride who said iu her ex-
clamation that she felt an irresistible
desire to steal when goods were
placed before her, was she not
rather poor, silly child to be in
structed and cured than a guilty
wretch to be punished? The hus-
bands advocate plead the whole
guilt upon his wife, insisted that
her story was true, and, in support
of his theory, read the following
letter written by her twelve days
after the arrest:
do not think, dear husband of
my life, that they will find you
guilty. They cannot, for you are
completely innocent. l hope they
will soon set you at liberty, for am
dying Of pain to think that you are
in prison. Pardon me, my hus-
band, pardon me- | did not know
the gravity of my offcnse; | did not
know to what | was exposing N.Y.
self; ] had lost my senses. You
have forgiven me, have you not? |
know how good your heart is, and
| am so unhappy. Do not abandon
me in my despair. If you have for
given me shall be tranquil and re-
signed. All, how Irepent, my dar-
ling husband, how bitterly / repent.
CARMEN.
The magistrates, it is compare
lively pleasant to report, acted upon
the theory of the prosecution and
recognized degrees of responsibility,
The young wife was sent to prison
for eight months, while her hus-
band and aunt were sent to impris-
onment for II year and a day, which,
the term exceeding year, involves
confinement at one of the central
prisons, where the discipline is
much more severe. Besides this,
the two seniors will be subjected to
five years surveillance by the police
after regaining their liberty.

The part of Leavenworth county

a scandal of recent development,
and the participants therein being
