THE INFLUENCE OF TREES.
The Manner i'm Which the Orange Groves
of PlaGuemines have been Affected.
tPlaquemines Observes

.
The great orange region of this parish ex
TENDS from the lower line Of Woodland planta-
ton to the Eclipse plantation, distance of
about thirty miles, for in this favored section
OF the parish orange trees are found on nearly
every plantation and on some are cultivated
on grand scale as at Magnolia and Orange
farm. The severe and almost unprecedented
cold weather of last winter does not appear to
have affected the trees injuriously; which are
everywhere on the right bank renorted to he
In splendid condition, free from the chenille
or any other disease, well loaded with fruit
and giving promise of more abundant cron
than has been gathered within the last ten
years.
But on the left bank, more especiallv at
Pointe-a-la-H Hache, the trees suffered severely
from the freezes of last winter; many were
Killed outright, and those that still show an
abundance OF , dead wood and an impaired
vitality, with little or no fruit, which, in the
most favored localities will hardly be suf1i-
clent for home consumption. This almost
Total failure OF the crop is principally owing
TO the want OF timber from the upper portion
OF Polnte-a-la-Hache to Fort st. Philip, to
protect the trees from the freezing northers
Whlch come across the Gulf and sweep over
the vast, open .praires between it and the
river, with nothing to check their course or
temper their severity.
The early settlers of this region made a great
mistake when they stripped their lands of the
timber thereon and by so doing rendered the
culIiVaGlon OF the orange the most precariOus
ana Improbable OF all pursuits. But strange
to say, the ravages of these northers are al
most entirely confined to the left bank; the
river seems to exercise a magical influence
over them and extracts from them in their
passage over 1t their most destructive uuali- |
ties as far as vegetation is concerned. Hence
the singular Spectacle which is often pre-
sented here, Of the orange trees and other
evergreens on the left bank denuded of their
leaves and even sometimes killed: while at the |
same time on the right bank, all vegetation
is seen blooming in tropical luxuriance. The
opposite banks which present this extraordi- |
nary and almost uneXampled contrast are
only separated by a mile of fresh or river
perfect and palpable exhibition of the in,
fiuence of large bodies of water upon climate

world: The lower coast certainly presents a |
rlch field for the, researches of the scientist

Another View of the Calcas sieu Log seues-
tlOn.

PLAQuEM1NE, July 20, 1877.
Editor Democrat Several articles have ap-
poarcd of late in your valuable paper indcat-
ing sympathy for the Calcasieu log men
This do not think is deserved Lands, both
State and Federal, have been held at merely
nominal prices from twelve and half cents
to one dollar and a quarter per acre. In fact
government lands in this State have been
held until quite recently for those desiring
homesteads. Yet these lands have been so
stripped of the fine timber once growing upon
them, that they arc to-day comparatively
worthless.
In this parish, thousands of acres of State
land, once valuable for timber, cannot be sold
at any price, and large tracts of land be-
longing to private individuals have likewise
been rendered worthless by the timber
StGalerS.
Two tracts of land, formerly purchased as
a.good investment for the timber then upon
them, were recently sold here at sheritf's sale
ana although in an accessible swamp, and
conveniently located, they were so stripped
OF all kinds OF good timber that all that could
be realized from them was from five to ten
cents an acre. This parish is not an exeep-
ton, and hence l repeat again that parties
carrying on such wholesale depreciation are
not deserving of any sympathy. but should
receive instead that punishment such NAL
feasance deserves.
The big strike is thesubiect of conversation
among us ALL We hope its baneful effects
will not extend South. Let the people of the
North receive the stings of the vipers they
have nursed to our injury. We wish no one
harm, but when the consequences of evil
deliberately done and long sustained recoi
upon it's promoters. we are perfectly willing
that they should eight it out on that linea
themselves: Harper and other Journals of
CIVILIZATION can now depict the horrors of
their own civilization without taxing their
to invent outrages against law
and order at the South. PELICAN.

A sanG-s' Orm in Rome


June 22 a curious shower of sand and mud
eoaal coming e from ire the South fell in Rome, which

journal tells Of a country clerk in
q rural town who had a pet calf
which he was training up in the
ways of the OK. The calf walked
around very peaceably under one
end Of the yoke while Mr.. Clerk
held up the other end, but in an
unfortunate moment the man con-
ceived the idea of putting his own
neck in the yoke to let the calf see
how it would seem to work with a
partner. This frightened mister
calf, and elevating his tail and his
voice he struck q "dead run" for
the village, and Mr.. Clerk went
along, with his head down and his
plug hat in his hand, straining
every nerve TO keep up, and crying
out at the top Of his voice: "Here
we come, dang our fool souls
head us, somebody !"
