there has been trouble in regard to the

cially, charges for burial lots. Since
that time, the cemetery has been left
almost abandoned, and as it became
necessary to fix the matter in a satisfac
tory way, a cali was made to the Catho-
lie inhabitants to appear at the Catholic
Church on Sunday, 10th inst after High
Mass, to approve or annul the donation
made by Jean Mouton, deceased. The
vote was unanimous in favor of the
donation. The act was drawn by a
notary, signed by competent witnesses,
and sent to the L Legislature to confer d
perfect title.

IMPORTANCE OF DRAINAGE.

~
Few planters seem to realize
the Importance of having their
lands thoroughly drained. With>
ont q place is we'll ditched, it is
impossible, in most years. to make
a foil crop.
One of the most practical as
we'll as most prosperous sugar
planters of st. Mary recently very
kindly furnised Us his ideas upon
this subject. He says that every
farm or plantation, to be we'll
drained, mast have bitches four
to five feet wide, and two to two
and q half feet deep, parallel to
each other, and not over Fifty
yards apart. For every eight
arpents these bitches run, they
should be Widened two feet. In
the rear of the plantation, there
should be a ditch crosswise, ten
to fifteen feet wide, three to three
aud a half feet deep, into which
these first bitches run, and at
every five to seven arpents of the
cross ditch, in the lowest places,
and running from it to the
swamp, there should be q ditch
twelve to sixteen feet wide, and
three to four feet deep, so that
after the heaviest rain, all the
water in the bitches will run off in
two hours after tho rain is over.
One hundred acres of land, plant.
ed for ten years, and drained in
this way, he says will give more
profit than two hundred acres
planted the same time without
drainage. One ton of cane grown
on land drained in this manner,
last rolling, gave one hundred
pounds of sugar, while three tons
of cane grown on land not so
drained, gave only about the same
quantity.
He says that want of proper
drainage is the reason some cane,
about Oct. 10th, 1877, would not
yield any sugar at all. Water
laying in the cane rows from
Sept. 18th to Oct. Goth, he con-
tends destroys what sugar should
have been in the cane, and we
agree with him that lack Of
proper drainage has caused the
loss of millions of dollars to the
sugar planters Of Louisiana.
he thinks that writer's In the
Picayune and other papers, when
speaking about working laBd,etc.,
are too much given to g~enerali.
ties, and define nothing explicitly.
If planters all ow the expense of
ditCbing to deter them from it,
they certainly make a fatal mis-
take. The suggestions OF our
friend are indeed most timely,
and we hope that cane fields in
1878 will be better drained than
ever before. Better cultivate
one-third the quantity Of land, and
have it we'll drained, than to lose
so heavily from water as many do
avery wear.

The following tradition is related of
a mine in Cornwel1, which extends
under tho sea, where the body of the
young miner mentioned is said to have
been found in a state of perfect preser-
walton, fifty years after his death. The
lines we're written by one of St. Mary's
fair and talented daughters, and were
never before published
The free waves rolled with a Joyous roar
Meath the golden summer sun,
The grass was green Oh the spray-wash-
ed shore,
But the far off moOrs were dun.
A sound from under the shining deep,
A light in the sloping shaft,
Aud silent wives Of the hillside steep
Turned to each other and laughed!
The men were coming, would soon be
Ghere,
That one days peril was DER;
And safe for to-day, Lord" was the
prayer
Each wife had uttered. no more!
With q rush and swing, the miners stood
In the light of upper day,
But they looked not forth on the sky or
food,
And motioned their wives away.
For in the midst of the swarthy gang,
A beautiful youth lay dead!
And his smile told not of his secret
pang,
Nor of when his spirit fed.
They laid him gently upon the sod,
With his face to the Cornish sky,
On the hill where once his feet had trod,
Near where he had gone to die
Softly the evening gathered around,
As they murmured, whispering low,
And a miner said "Deep underground"
We found him slumbering sol
lis fifty years since this shaft was
closed
That we opened to-day again,
For fifty years has the lad reposed
In this tomb beneath the main
Now who knows what is his name or
plaee7
For his friends and his foes are gone,
And none of the living have seen his
face,
And the dead count not this one!
The miner ceased, and the great slow
waves
Swept steadily in below
And the women thought of their house,
hold graves,
And the men, Of the long ago:
And 10! as the rising moons soft fame
Crept over the changing tide,
An old, old woman in silence came,
And stood by the dead lads side.
The last bright CLEAN of the sunset lay
On his young and peaceful brow,
And touched his curls with a living ray,
His cheek with q crimson glow.
Aud fell with a full, yet fading light,
On the woman bent and old,
Who slowly knelt, till her locks of white
We're mingled with his of gold.
Long have l waited;o they heard her
say,
II have waited long for thee!
l have watched for thy coming day by |
day,
For thy coming home TO me-
Why has thou tarried I The summer
mourn
That was to have seen us wed,
Was the fairest day that ser was born,
The saddest day that is dead!
But thou ant cone, I need watch no
more;
l have waited long for theeI
And now are the days of my waiting
Ger,
For thou hast come home to me ~
She sank where her girlish head had
lain,
On her youthful lovers breast;
And pass from The longing of her pain,
To the fHliness of his rest

SUGAR FOR HOME CONSUME~
TIoN. Every housekeeper in the
sugar district has felt the want Of
some better arrangement for sup
plying the home demand for
sugar. It has always been diff
cult for consumers to obtain their
years supply of sugar, of suitable
quality, from sugar OuseS, and
it is a fact that many actually
send to New Orleans for 1t. Those
enterprisiDg planters, Messre.
Walker s. Thompson, recognizing
this necessity, in 1876 commenced
putting Up their refined sugar in
barrels, and obtained ready sale
at home for 1t. This year, owing
to the freeze and consequent in-
ferior quality of even clarified
sugar, they declined to sell to
home consumers, fearing they
could not give satisfaction but
next season, they inform as, they
propose to make standard brands,
put up in barrels for consumers,
like the reanere. This will supp
ply q want long felt, and prove
profitable to them, we are sure.
Our CAPITAL. The Legisla-
tuFe has Of late been discussing
the matter Of removing the espi-
tai bsck to Baton Rouge, and a
public meeting Of the citizens Of
that place lately offered 10 give
$25 900 to aid in making repairs
10 the State house, if the capital
was returned there. IF the State
could get rid of the purchase OF
the st. Louis Hotel building we
belieVeit would be q good idea
10 returB to Baton Rouge, az
fewer evil Influences would there
surround legislators.
