AGRICULTURE.

COLOR OF FARM BUILDINGS. - In
painting even a shed it is just as cheap
and easy TO give it pleasing color, as
to. make IL u blemish on the landscape.
Barns and other farm buildings, paint
cd red-especially the dark Venetian
red-ofer fine contrast to the green
of the fields and trees, and we are pleas
ed to note that the use of this color Is
increasing. The numerous red build
ings of English farms are very attrac-
tive to the travellers eye; and they are
not only handsome in appearance, bot
also give an air of thrift AMI perman-
ency TO place, which unpainted wood,
or white or straw color do not impart.
We have one set of farm buildings In
mind, i'm which the brackets and other
trimmings are finished of in black,
with most satisflo ory effect. The
black thus used, gives Il distinctness
and boldness to the details, and forms
with the red walls happy combination,
and one most appropriate In It's place.
Red barns and out-buildlngs are not
rare; these, when OF glaring, self-as-
serting red, are not pleasing, and they
are still less so. when they are, as we
often see them, trimmed with white.
1t Is rule of good taste in painting
buildings, To have window caps, brack-
cts, and other details, darker than the
ground work or main body of the ma
terial. Why not apply the same prin-
ciple 10 farm buildings, especially as II
costs no more, and adds TO the attract
iveness and value of the structure?
For example, a brick house, with Il
white marble door way, window seats
and caps, and white cornice, will al
ways look frivolous and cheap; where
the same details are of the much cheap
er brOwn-stone, the house has an air OF
dignity and repose, quite lacking in the
other. Other farm buildings are often
quite aS conspicuous as the dwelling,
and In decorating them, quite as much
thought should be given TO having them
pleasing To the eye, especially as it
need not require an extra outlay.

fined it almost entirely to corn tor gen

its diseased condition. Were men to
be confined 10 one article of diet they
would be afflicted With new and strange

reserve our order of procedure and
give our hogs varieties Of food, we in a
short time will expel the diseases now
destroying our herds of swine. Feed
on clover, peas, barley, rye, and occa-
sionally Ssme animal food, and give
them pure we'll or spring water, to-
gether with Goals, salt, ashes, etc., and
we will soon hear no more of cholera.

AN AMERICAN MAN EATER.

A cannibal would app rcntiy creato
sensation in most nyciviliEcd communi-:
ty, but u man with the most caunibai
and heathcn,sh tastes is living in peace
and security at Otis, Massachusetts. Ho
is about 80 years old aud calls himself
Smith. People think he is crazy. but l,c
denies th:s and says his habits were
formed by twenty years residence
among the South Sea Caribbees, having
been cast upon one OF their islands by
shipwreck while he was quite young,
He openly shows his preference Tor hu-
man flesh, but says l,e has no: gratified
his appetite for it since he scft New Jer-
sey, whore he ate a man several years
ago. The circumstaroes under which he
obtained his favorite dish there he de-:
clines to toll. He says, however, that he
will yet eat come of the fat and hand
some young people in town, prefe7ring
those who do not use tobacco or wear
whskers, and he has done his best on
several occasions to induce men aud chill
dren TO become his victims. Once lie Of
fered to work .ix months for little girl,
il she would promise to let him eat her
afterward. He is also a man with an
iron jaw, and chews up pie-plates with
the greatest Of ease, while he seldom
takes the trouble to remove the bones
from beef wl;ck he eats, aud, as q native
says, che chaws hens right down without
ringing their nccks." He prefers raw
and unseasoned meat, always eating tho
fish which hc catches right Oft the hook,
without salt and pepper. When he fluids
snake he bites it through the back and
then devours it. and his disgusting taste
never allows him to discard meat or eggs
which are rotten. Smi tn is also an idol
ator, and up among the hills, hidden in
the forest, Ire keeps 4 wooden image, his
fetch, before which he performs his all
lutions (the only washing his person gets,
ono might judge from his appcarance)
and other ceremonies every Sunday
at 10 o'c! ock. At homo he worships a
stuffed squirrel, while gnarled trees aud
almost everything strange and uncom.
mon are objects of his alteration.

ONE OF NATURES NOBLEMEN,

Cne day last week an old cUlOred wo-
man was seen slowly ana painfully drag
ging her way out Of town along Boule-
ward street. Sho had evidently been
making some purchases, as sho carried
little o!d-fashioned satchel that seemed
we'll filed ana too heavy for her aged
limbs. Old and ec,epit and bent with
age, her white locks shining afar, she
wearily plodded her way with the assist
ance of a staff. She was very tired-tI the
effort 70 return home was too much for
he: tottcring frame. At last, under tho
friendly shade of & largo Spreading oak
she falls helplessly upon tho wayside TO
rest. With Il groan she hides her flce in
her trembling hands and pray for help
Many passed with vehicles loaded and
empty, but none seemed to heed her dis
tress until the cheery tones of we'll.
dress ed farmer, driving a splendid span
of horses, sang out:
"Hey, old annty! what's the matter 20

wont you car dis satchel for her ~

The old woman tkei1 made an effort te
get ia tho wagon, but her limbs vera
stiff, and she gave it up. Whereupon the
gentleman said:
"Hold-rll put you in."
And springing out upon the ground, he
carefully took her in his arms and placo;
torJ
the gods! A sunbeam in human life to
cheer into song and rejoicing tho angelic

Who was this nobleman, were tie first
words THAT sprarg to ou- lips upon being
told the story of this gallant act. But
the witness knew not, and we must for
ever remain in ignorance of the man whc
faced the worlds scorn and threw a ray
of sunshine across the threshold Of :,
heart that was gathering thick With
evening shadows. What Joy he brought
to that dcspairing soul, and what bless,
ings gushed from her heart when she ut.
tered the words:
"Bless you, young nassa--dis is like
old slabo times, when old Dinah want for
nothing. But dem times am gone--souo
forebcr."
1t was only q little Kind decd, yet the
pcnt up springs of joyful fountain were

the desert waste of an aged colored wc>

There is n land where cypress trees,
Are gently kissed by southern breeze;
Where flowers blossom 9 II the year,
Yielding their fragrance to the atmos-
phere.
This land with beauty is ever teeming,
Beneath it's azure summers sky,
Fit subject for a poets dreaming,
Fit subject for an artists eye.
Often in my light canoe
I've drifted down some dark bayou,
Whose limpid surface day by day
Is never touched by sunny ray.
And as I viewed on either shore
The forest monarchs, old and grey,
Unused that when I was no more,
These still would stand in proud array.
Let others boast of their m mountains high
Or picturesque wales meath the clou dless
sky,
Give me the land where peace is found,
Where nOugE but stiffness reigns around
Where smiling nature can be wood,
In spots that n'er by man was trod.
In silence and in solitude,
To view the handiwork of God.
Oh Louisiana! beautiful land!
I'll sing thy praise on every hand;
No land with thee can e'er compare
For scenes of peace and beauty rare.
Let him whose heart with pleasure
warns,
When Natures beauties he chances to sec
But come and view thy peerless charms,
And then award the Palm to thee.

From the above table it will be seen that
notwithstanding increased cotton produc-
ton since the war, there has been falling of
in the percentage handled In New Orleans.
ln 1857 New Orleans handled AZ per cent Of
the total crop, In 1858 81 per cent, Ia 1861 Is
per cent. From 1866 to 1876 the percentage
Oh the crop handled In New Orleans ranged
oetween rs and SO per cent. Last year,
1883, our net receipts were only % per cent
OF the total crop.
Among the various causes assigned for this
decrease are the opening Of new avenues Of
trade direct to cotton receiving points hither-
to uMmportant Lines OF railroad have hean
extended from the East and West throughout

and the effect Of competition. both on the part

Hard times are having their effects on

country. Less jewelry Is bought. fewer
horses and servants kept; and, as we showed
some days since, even the marriage-rate and
birth-rate of the country have decreased I'M
der the influence OF bad crops and closed
mills. Times In England have been getting
daily worse and worse until they have even
begun to affect the honesty Of the country
and dull its conscience The amount OF con-
science money returned to the English gov.

guilty OF peculation, or taxpayers who have
cheated the collectors, Is always consider

science fund amounted to no less than ST, 700
There Is no reason to believe that there was
any less stealing this year than last, but the
conscience fund receipts have suddenly fallen

conscience do not 90 we'll together. Men are
willing to be honest, 1t appears, II they have
plenty of moneyto be honest with, but when
their pockets get empty their conscience
