TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.

Those Of our citizens who are fortunate enough
to be able to seek respite from the labors Of the
business season just closed. and to recuperate
their energies at some OF the many delightful
summer resorts to be found in the Northern
States and Canada, will be glad to learn that the
old favorite Jackson route, under vigorous and
efficient management. has become one of the
very best travelling thoroughfares in the country.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars have been
expended, as we are credibly informed, during
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails, new cross-ties and new bridges, and day
it may bs safely said that no road south Of the
Ohio river surpasses the great Jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during The past few weeks, TO travel
quite extensively over that road, and we can thus,
from actual experience, bear witness to its ex-
cellence in every particular which goes to consti-
tute good road.

Boucherau's recently published sugar
report shows that somewhat over 100,.
900 acres Of cane were raised and ground
in this State last year, and produced on
the average 1917 pounds of sugar and
ia gallons Of molasses to the acre. Es-
timating the. sugar at eightand one-half
cents pound and the molasses at forty,
five cents gallon, this makes an aver
age of $207 75 to the acre. There may be
portions of the Union where few acres
scattered here and there can produce
this amount of money, but we defy any
State or country In the world to point
out 100000 acres Of land in a body

tai, and without fertilizers, can make a
showing equal to this made by Lou

suppose, laying none at all. Mr.. Young
has neighbors and witnesses who are
willing to swear to every one OF these
eggs, should any one doubt them, which
we hardly believe.
We think the Young egg story shows
that our country exchanges have not
lost their cunning, and that this years
crop OF wonders will far exceed those OF
any previous year, unless the newspapers
weaken their mental and imaginative
powers In seeking to pun on the battle
fields in the East. Three sea serpents
have already been seen, and one even
landed at Oban, Scotland, and 30 many
wonderful and impossible things have
been discovered-in the newspapers
that we can claim with just pride that
the power OF the press Is not yet extinct.
To encourage this enterprise, however,
we hope the leading papers OF the coup-
try will get up an organization to award
q prize to the papers getting off the
meanest pun and hoax OF the season.
This should be encouraged.

The railroad report just issued for the
past year. 1876. makes no flattering show
ing. With seventy. odd thousand miles OF
ra ilroad the United States failed to do
as much business or carry as much
freight as Great Britain with only six
teen thousand miles. In almost all Sec
tions Of the Union there is falling of
in gross receipts, net receipts and divi-
dends. In the New England States the
fa ling off Is 81, ,667. .92O in gross receipts
as compared with 1876, and $4,303, ,7s1
in net receipts, while the dividends paid
showed falling off in one year Of ST.
172,O67, or thirteen per cent.
In the Middle States the decrease in
gross receipts since 1873 is 81, ,449, ,eO4,
and in dividends $5, e67, ,O5s. or fourteen
per cent.
As compared with 1874, the gross earn
ings Of the railroads in the Western
States show a falling off Of $2s, ,375, ,04O
since 1874, and of SO, s67, ,Os5, or II per
cent in dividends paid.
The South makes indeed by far the
best showing. The gross earnings Of
SO uthern railroads for this year exceed
those Of 1875 by $344, ,427, the net earn
ings $37s,o31 and the dividends an in
crease OF $363,457 since 1876, and $791,
894 since 1876. In fact, the South seems
to be the only portion OF the country in
which railroads are looking up, proba-
bly, because it is the only section Of
country where there are no superfuous
railroads.

The New Iberia. Sugar Bopl argues
with much reasonin favor OF the system
of central sugar factories. This system,
it shows. is the usual one in every other
sugar country but this. It is in Louisi-
ana alone that the two branches OF agri-
culture and manufacture are 80 abso-
lutely united. The qualities that make
q good agriculturist are seldom those
that make a good machinist, and the
consequence is that the planter has to
turn his sugar house over to some assist
ant, or try to run two ill-united busi-
nesses-a farm and a mandatory. A
Western farmer might, with just as
much reason, grind his own wheat into
flour.
There are many other arguments that
the Sugar Bo,el might have used, but
which 1t does not. The expense, the
amount OF capital needed In sugar Gull
ture has been one of the great draw
backs to our complete success, and is
the reason why so many acres OF our
sugar lands are unoccupied. Central
manufactures would obviate this; they
would enable small farmers to cultivate
sugar with success as well as large ones,
and thus incite immigration. They
would also tend to improve the quality
and value Of Louisiana sugar, since
some of the smaller planters are unable
to use any but very Indifferent mills,
turning out an inferior quality. By
using fewer and better mills, we might do
away, almost altogether, with the neces-
sity OF having Louisiana sugar refined
In st. Louis or Baltimore.
The question has been discussed often
before, but it may we'll be gone over
again. The matter is not one Of expert
ment as one might suppose, since many
planters. in the past few years, have
tried it to limited extent by purchas-
ing the crop Of neighboring places and
grinding it--a work that owed profit
able to both planter and grinder.

One Of the best illustrations OF the
moral Of Esop's fable Of the ass play
ing the part of the lap-dog has been
afforded by Pierrepont, Grants minis
ter to England. A laborious and
not over-scrupulous lawyer, who had
made a fortune by sharp practice, he
very shrewdly eased himself Of the bur-
den Of odium ana responsibility attach
ing to Grants Administration towards
the close by wriggling into the Office OF
Minister to England. On his introduc-
ton to the notabilities OF that
rank and dinner loving people, he
developed In violent manner
two qualities which he imag-
ined were the most prominent
characteristics of all true Britons. to
wit: an intense respect for aristocratic
rank, blood and lineage, and great
appetite for heavy dinners and, as indis-
pensable accomplishments, for those
heavier after dinner speeches, in which
Britons delight. Without scintilla
of wit or humor, Pierrepont, by labor,
preparation and careful memorizing,
discovered that he could qualify him
self for this duty, and on avery small
capital make a very effective splurge In
post prandial oratory before an assem-
blage heavily loaded with beef and
Burgundy, Several achievements in
this line secured him a very high place
In the regards Of the Lord Mayor and
livery men Of London.
Pierrepont thus cheaply acquiring the
reputation Of wit and orator, next
fixed his ambition upon the noble OBJ
iect OF proving his descent from the Nor
man aristocracy and his just title to a
coat Of arms, with some high sounding
law motto and a confused assemblage OF
lions and unicorns couchant and ram
pant, spears, shields and long tailed
dragons, which he had painted on his
carriage and engraved on his private
and official seals.
Thus Pierrepont became great man
In his own and, perhaps, in the estima-
ton of the Mayor and Aldermen OF
London, whilst every honest and manly
American regarded him as an upstart
and humbug, whose toadyism and blar-
neyism and feeble efforts to reproduce
the superior art and elocution OF
American speakers on the london
stage were simply ridiculous, and thus
Pierrepont sunk in the popular regard
in this country as rapidly as he arose in
the (perhaps imagined admiration OF
the Londoners. He appears to have
been conscious of this decline OF
his fame and political fortunes
in his native land and in
consequence thereof to have Withdrawn

There Is very perceptible and en-
couraging advance in the value of sugar
estates. IF there are few sales at
these advanced rates it is due to the
great lack of capital and the indisposi-
tion OF parties owning this property to
sell, in view OF the handsome yield and
bright prospects OF sugar culture. 1t is
very consoling to know that many, II
not most OF our planters, are rapidly
relieving themselves Of old incum.
brances, and thereby saving the ex-
hausting drain OF interest. Once freed
from this burden. good plantations,
we'll managed, will return at least twen-
= ty per cent on their value and on the
cost OF production.
