The steamer New Camelia met
with an accident on the Lake last
Monday. A severe storm was pre-
vailing at the time, and a large wave
struck the vessel. The vast amount
ct water taken by the wheel was
rushed through with such force as
to crush in the double petition be.
tween the wheel-house and the
office, which was flooded. The
clerk, Mr.. Nixon, who was sitting ut
his desk, had o narrow escape, and
crawled out of the Office through the
small win dow which is used to pass
tickets to passengers. The boats
papers we're lost, together with $500
in cash. Mr.. Nixon lost $500 OF his
own money, which was in q tin box
under the desk, The boat returned
to Jacksonville, where a new petit
ton was put in, after which she pre-
ceeded on her why to the city.

The State Grange OF Louisiana

healthy summer resort, and we have
no doubt that frst-class roads

Thirty-four steamers at the New

sissippi lies bstw.,1 Us and New

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN.
TION.

The result of the late election
shows that the people are almost
unanimous in favor of a new Con-
st;tution. It will therefore be one
of the first duties of the next Legis-
lature to take action in the matter.
The preliminaries should be ar
ranged and time and place for the
meeting of the Convention fixed at
as early q date as possible, in order
to insure US q hasty deliverance
from the provisions of the obnoxi-
GUS inheritance of carpet-bagism
under which we are living at pres
emit, and which must necessarily
remain in force until Constitution,
framed by the people of Louisiana,
based upon justice, equal rights.
and an honest and economical ad-
ministration of the laws, can be pre-
pared and adopted. Many of our
exchanges are urgent upon this SUBJ
ject.
The Morehouse Clarion says:
1--WE are glad, indeed, to SEQ SO
many Of our contemporaries favoring
. short session of the next Legisla-
ture and the calling of a Constitu-
tional Convention Immediately.
Would to God that the General
Assembly, to meet in January next,
will heed this wholesome doctrine.
The cries and demands of the peo-
pie would then be hushed by the
up of o happy future for
our State, which can only be
brought about by a Convention"
The Claiborne Guardian says:
THE verdict has been pronounced
and recorded, aud the lawmakers
must shape their actions in accord
ance with its terms. The people of
Claiborne. for greater certainty,
have declared in mass meeting that
their representatives. should urge OF
once this measure. But even if
such instructions had not been
given the gentlemen we have elect
ed, the majority against the amend
ments in the whole State stands in
place Of such positive instructions,
and they can not possibly err in the
of tt cir line of policy. In
the general discussion of the ques-
ton last winter and spring, we were
numbered among those journals
which opposed a Convention. Our
were those which seemed to
Us good, after mature elaboration
upon all the points involved. The
chief reason with US was that we did
not believe the time suggested was
an opportune one. The result of
the election in N ovember does away
with this objection. and now we are
earnestly in favor Of immediate &C.
ton"
The Thibodeaux Sentinel says:
There are three things for the next
to do:
/. elect q Senator to succeed
James B. Eust;s, whose term of
Office expires March 3, 1879.
2. Pass IN appropriation bill to

AMERICAN WOMEN AND
RURAL INDUSTRIES.

A correspondent of the Agricul-
tural Department, referring to the
part taken by women in rural labor
in this country, says: As sensible
beings, we must take facts as we
find them. It is idle to in
dulge in sentiment and deplore
the necessity of rural work for
women. The fact exists that mil
lions of the human race. even in this
country, must, by the sweat of the
brow, aid the transmutation of the
soil into bread before it can be
eaten, and of that class there are
nearly as many women rs men. 1t
is true that tbs heavy work of the
farm, the teaming, the "breaking
up" and the drudgery, fitted only
to sturdy strength, is done by men
in this country, as it should be. and
as it is not to such an extent in any
other; it is true that in the new
States, and in the Territories, where
the face of woman is a vision of the
past, casual fitting of the present.
and the special hope of the future,
women are held quite too sacred
even for the lighter rural drudger-
les. not alone by the refined and
cultivated, but by the chivalrous
roughs of the border. 1t is equally
true that no meagre share of food
production and preparation for the
supply of our countrymen, and the
surplus for European consumption.
is allotted to the (physically) weak
er sex.
OF the 600, 900, 900 pounds of but
ter, worth $3.50. 100000. how much
comes from the labor of women, in
milking and churning, and nil the
cares of dairy management? OF
$50, 900, 600 pounds of cheese, worth
$50, 600, 900, how much is man1fac-
tured by the wives and daughters Of
farmers? The eggs and poultry,
amounting to many millions more,
are due to On industry in which the
farmers wife has by far the larger
share of skill and labor. The sweets
of the hive are largely collected un-
der tia directing care of women.
Millions Of dollars, many more than
those appearing in the census of
market-garden products, are pro-
duced in kitchen gardens by femi-
nine labor. No inconsiderable
amount of small fruits, both for
home use and for the village and
city markets, is grown and picked
by feminine hands; and the guam
tity and value OF wild berries
strawberries. raspberries, blackber-
ries, etc.-would aggregate far
more than the fortu . of one mil
lionaire. Then if the casual or
regular labor of women, in assist
ance volunteered or required in
planting, wedding, cultivating, hay
ing, harvesting, and even the care of
live stock, be computed at its true
value, and its real percentage of our
total farm production calculated,
how would the figures swell the
sum, and magnify the proportion
of wealth wrought from the mine of
the farm BY the hand of woman!

PUBLIC THOROUGHFARES.

The intelligence and enterprise of
o community may be measured, to
q certain extent, not only by the
habits OF the people, nor the taste
and care displayed in adding to the
beauty and comfort of their resi-
dences, but by the condition of their
public highways. There are vari-
Gus reasons for the urgent neces-
sity for good roads throughout our
parish. At this season of the year,
when most, if not all of the heavy
hauling is done, we must expect to
have a great deal of inclement
weather, rendering our roads, in
many places, DOGGY and impassa-
BILE. This not only interferes with
the arrangements of those of our
farmers DESTROYS Of placing their
cotton, molasses, etc., in the market
at the earliest possible moment, but
largely affects our entire business
system. After heavy rain, for in
stance, there is o marked decline in
the number of wagons arriving from
the country; this is necessarily fol-
lowed by dull days" in business,
which. in its turn, causes CORE
spending curtailment of the outgo-
ing cargoes of vessels plying be-
tween this city and New Orleans.
Thus it will be seen that this is O
subject in which We are all interest
ed. Our public roads, at best, are
nothing more than beaten tracks
through the WOO Is and over the
plains" and the present system Of
working them see ms to be deficient.
There appears to be some difficulty
in getting persons to work on them,
as will be seen in the proceedings
of the Police Jury. We are of the
opinion that law compelling the
payment of the road tax in money,
and placing the working Of the
roads in the hands of some compe-
tent road builder, would be more
beneficial in its results. The mate
rial for good roads abounds in our
parish, and they could doubtless be
built at q nominal expense. Per-
haps there is no State with better
public roads than Illinois. They
are built by simply grading and
thoroughly ditch;ng q heavy clay
soil, and placing in the grade near
each side six-inch drain tile, with
occasional outlets into the side
bitches. They have in that State
what is termed free turnpike law.
Twelve men, who are voters, resi-
dents and taxpayers, may call for
an election to be held by the Coun-
ty Commissioners body whose
duties are similar to those Of our
Police jury. If majority of one,
Of those living within two miles Of
any county road, vote that it shall
be turnpiked, the County Commits
sioners proceed at once under the
law. The price Of land has gone
up from So to $40 per acre where
the roads have been 80 improved.
The railroads Of Illinois were idle
one-half the time on account Of the
bad public roads, making it impos-
sible for them to obtain freight, and
SO they co-operatsd with the citi-
zens in improving the same. Al
though we have no railroads, the
hint might be taken by vessels rely
ing on our parish for their cargoes.
Another reason in support of our
argument is that Corington is fast

A Trip to the Mountains.

Every necessary arrangement was
made Saturday evening for an early
start Monday, and as the clock tolled
the hour of three, there were move
ments of the retired expedition par
ty, and in an hour, everything being
ready we took leave of our friends,
and started for trip of "Roughing
it," to the mountains.
Our first days travel was not of
any special interest, it being through
district in which we were acquaint-
ed and Nature had surrounded it
with swamps and low lands. Reach
ing the erwin Mountain House" at
sunset, we began to look out for a
place to camp for the night, and Sc
cured suitable place opposite the
grounds owned by the company.
Here we cooked our supper, and, ev-
erything being prepared, we enjoyed
a meal as only those who have been
on such tramp can enjoy one. The
night passed off very well, although
some of the party complained OF
"hard bed" etc. The morning was
clear and we anticipated q fine day

went and took them away, leaving
as the only evidence Of their having
been there, an apron, which they
placed in the aperture by which the
bees entered their bone, and this may
lead to their detection. OCCASIONAL.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the eff
fects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable
people is most alarming, making life
actually burden instead of pleasant
existence ofenjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, il yoa will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advise of Druggists and yonr
friends, and try one bottle of Green's
August Flower. Your speedy relief
is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try
Its virtues, with satisfactory result in
every case. You can buy sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Pos
itively sold by all Druggists on the
Western Continent.
