That is right. When you have
been reading a newspaper two
or three years without having
paid a cent on your subscription,
always get your back up and
stop your paper when the editor
duns you. 1t never fails to i'm
press him with a clear insight of
your idea of justice and honor.

The late estimates show that
Oregon will have about six mil
lion bushels of wheat for export
this year. For the past nine
years the increase of production
has been very rapid. The State
has some of the finest wheat
growing districts in the world,
lying within easy reach of a nav
igable river which furnishes an
outlet to the markets of Europe.

cit is hard that a strong and
healthy man should have to go
for a dog" said Mr.. Buckland Of
Chicopee, as he was dying of hy-
drophobia last week. His death
and that of three other strong
and healthy men in Massachu-
sets and Connecticut, within a
short time, from hydrophbia,
have alarmed many people. Two
of the dogs that bit two of the
men have escaped, and how
many more deaths will result
therefrom remains to be SEEM
In the Connecticut valley it is
feared that ra bies has been wide
ly communicated. Even valua-
BILE horses and other animals
have died of it, and there is a
strong feeling in favor Of killing
every dog within a circuit of 80
miles. The Connecticut Legis-
lature is considering a PROPOSE
ton to impose a tax of $50 on
every dog, with stringent penal
ties for non-payment. Six deaths
from this disease, in various
parts of the country, have been
reported within a month-an in
crease that calls for decisive
steps to prevent it's further
spread.-Philadelphia Times.

|" We are sorry to see that
the city of Shreveport has met
with another visitation in the
shape Of quite a Obstructive fire
on Sunday last-the property
destroyed amounting to over
800, 900; insured for about half
that amount. Mr.. julius A. ia
cobs' large stock of merchandise
was entirely consumed, also Mrs.
Wells millinery establishment
without insurance, we are sorry
to state-Mr. L. A. Levy's con-
fectionery establishment, where
the fire originated, with four or
five others, who were victims of
the confagration; but we hope
they will soon rise again from
the ashes. We, of Bossier, are
so intimately connected with
Shreveport, in business rela-
tons, that any misfortune that
befalls that city is felt, more or
less, by our citizens, and the suf-
ferers have our sympathies in
their recent calamity.

venire box, heretofore prepared by

About "Jute."

Much has been written to IN
duce the people of Louisiana,
and the South generally, to turn
their attention to other things
than the culture of corn, cotton,
rice and sugar. We have re-
Gently read a paper by Prof. S.
Waterhouse, of Washington I'm
iversity, Missouri, and were
amazed at the extent of the cul-
ture of the plant that heads
this article. It seems that it
has been in cultivation in India
for hundreds of years, and has
risen to the fourth place in the
exports of that country, a very
considerable portion of which is
consumed by the United States.
1t enters largely into the manu-
facture of carreting, low-priced
broadcloth, &c.
Experiments in the culture of
jute have already been made to
a limited extent, in South Caro-
lima and Texas, which have de-
monstrated that it can be sue
cessfully cultivated in most of
the Southern States. It natures
in 10 or ID weeks, and its Guilt
walton is attended with little la
Dor. Its average height is 10 or
IL feet, and it's diameter from
half an inch to an inch and a
half, and the tibrous bark is the
part used, which is taken from
the woody stalk after having
been immersed in water for a
certain length of time.
Dundee, in Scotland, has be-
come a flourishing city almost
entirely from the manufacture Of
fabrics made from this article
alone, or into which it largely
enters. In 1872 there were 3d.
100000 gunny bags exported
from Great Britain, most of
which were made in Dundee,
and what has been so successful
ly done there, can, it is said, be
done with much greater success
in the United States. We could
not only spin and weave the IL
bre, but we could also raise it,
and could derive a two-fold prof
it from the growth and manu-
facture of the staple.
Are there not some enterpris-
ing farmers in North-Louisiana,
or even in Bossier parish, willing
to try the experiment of, raising
"jute 2"

Now Mr.. Beecher replies to
the criticisms on his sermon
about hell. He says hell is a
spiritual and not a material con-
dition. Now that is a very small
point to bubble about. Judging
from the language of the Bible,
the standard authority in the
matter, either condition will be
anything but comfortable.

GOLD AND SILvER-SENAToR BAY
ARD IN PHILADELPHIA.-In his speech
last night in Philadelphia, Senator Bay
ard said: Tile question Of the power of
Congress to create and establish arbitrary
values in their issues of forms and credit
should b0 set at rest now and forever,
and it should declare that gold and silver
coin, or paper notes redeemable in coin
at the will of the holder, should be our
only money"
In referring to the Senator's presence
and his speech the Record SAYS
"Seldom, if ever. has the Democracy
of Philadelphia accorded heartier wei
come to great man of their party than
that which the Hon. Thomas +. Bavard.
United States Senator frcm Delaware.
| received last evening at the Academy of
Music. Senator Bayard's is a familiar
face to Philadelphians. As the guest of
the Americus Club he addressed the citi-
zens on the living issues of the day.
The Americus Club played IL conspicu-
| Gus part in his reception, and to the
number Of five hundred strong, under
the chief marshalship of William ID.
kendrick, marched down Chestnut street
early in the evening to escort the orator
of the occasion to the rostrtIm. The
Union Republican Club seized upon the
occasion to do honor to their political
rival, and in addition to Illuminating
their magnificent headquarters at
Eleventh and Chestnut and throwing
their banners to the breeze, made Chest
nut street as light as day by grand dis
play of fireworks as the Democratic Club
filed past their building. The march
from the Girard House to the Academy
was an ovation, and thousands of citi-
zens, irrespective of party, lined the
thoroughiares to do honor to a man
among men.
The Academy of Music was crowded
to its utmost capacity. When Senator
Bayard walked upon the stage the audi
ence rose en- ntdSSe and three times three
hearty cheers Were given him. Tht
, Senator paused. He nervously ran hi:
: thumbs into the armholes of his vest
, Ills head was bowed, and it was plaiI
that the great man had TO struggle to re
press the emotion which was yelling III
from his heart. Then in a tremulou
5 voice the tongue told the feelings: go
5 my share of this good will my hear
5 thanks you" Then he paused, and til,
audience again applauded.
AS he stood before the vast assembling,
the Senator seemed living model of hi
e idea. If craftsmanship is anything, it i
r a practical science. Tall. graceful,
well-balanced head, with his hair brush
= ed back over high, protruding forehead
e light blue eyes; a Roman nose thir
r. compressed lips, evincing determinatio
II and the will to do, the orator locke
every inch statesman. His utterance
II also bore out his maxim.

HOTEL RoBBERs BAGGED.-Three men
registering as John Brady, j. II. Murray
and James Thompson, were arrested in
Richmond. Va, Tuesday night, whilst
in the act of robbing the room of Judge
III. III. Marshall, at the Exchange Hotel.
On the same night, on the train between
Petersburg and Richmond, merchant
on his way North to buy goods was rob-
bed of $500, and on Wednesday a pas
senger on his way TO the Richmond fair
on the Richmond, fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad, was relieved of q gold
watch and another passenger was robbed
of $50.
Mr.. Bayard Taylor, in a letter TO a
friend in New York, dated October Ia.
spoke of his health az follows: "Mv doc.

me finally, and have discovered that ali
the trouble comes from slight conpes.

bad itself for fortnight soon, in order To
get into complete condition before the
season begins" Previous letters had
been in the same cheerful tone. He
spoke with great satisfaction of his work
and surroundings, and did not write in
the least like an invalid.
