Something Not Generally Known.

The habit Of chewing orange and
lemon peel is a very bad one which is
much to be deprecated. The little fol-
licles contained in the rind of the or
ange and lemon contain a poisonous acid
of very irritating character, as is evil
denced by the sensation produced in the
eye when drop is projected into it by
the bursting of one of these follicles.
The slight headache which often follows
the eating of orange or lemon peel is
doubtless due to the effects of this poi

Prospect for q Good Wheat Crop.

Wehave made frequent inquiries dur
ing the week from farmers in various
portions Of the county touching thu
present status of the wheat crop, and
are gra!ified to learn that the present
outlook is exceedingly flattering. The
dry fall weather was very disheartening
but our six weeks of winter with the
earth covered with snow, has not been
without its advantage. With our usual
seasonablc spring, a good harvest will
again gladden. the hearts of the people

THE S-M4LL roy HAS SOME Fun

He was naturally cruel, and he told al
acquaintance one day that he had a new
trick to play on the publlc-somethina
entirely new. He had q long string and
Il brass key tied to the end Of it, which
he said was tho instrument of torture
Over the front sidewalk Il maple tree sent
some pretty strong branches, making Il
seat hidden by leaves. Into this, aftel
dark, the boys climbed. "Now, wait, q
| comes, and don't make noise.' Pretty
soon an ordinarily dressed woman came
| along, and just as she had passed he let
| drop the key on the hard sidewalk, i'm
mc.liately pnling it up again. Both
| now watched developments. The woman
came to u sudden stop, began fumbIirg
| III her pocket, and wondered what it was
she could have dropped. She started Oh.
but had not gone far before she came
back: impeilcd by curiosity, and began a
careful search of the walk. Meanwhile,
the boys in the tree stuffed their fists III
their mouths to keep from soaring the
game, and dared hardly look below for

sister came along, and together they
picked up stones and turned over all the
chips on the sidewalk. No money, no
key, nothing could they find; and SO
Went on to their homes, perhaps to worry
all night, or perhaps a giggIe in the tree
tlrned their look of disappointment to q
very cheap smile, and q laugh from the
same place made them have awful wick
ed thoughts about boys. Onc victim
found a piece of tin, and laying the cause
to the noise 20 that, was saved frOm a
great deal of worry. But when she pick
ed it up and threw it down to test the
sound, the boys nearly fell ont of the
tree. A man, when caught, would slap
all his pockets, glance around q little.
but it was seldom that he was brought to
q hard-pan search. When any one saw
and saying all kind of little things for
the amusement of the boys, he simply
went away hurricdly. There was no re-
mark to make, no names to call. To get
out of sight as soon as possible seemed to
le most desirable. The trick is harm
less; no one breaks a leg or looscs an eye
in the process. 1t might he recommend

good way to sweep the walk. The vic

THE ECLINTONP4IRIO RIOT-DEMOCRIT

| This sterling Democratic paper contin-
ues to fly at its mast head the names of
| Hendricks for President, Gordon for Vice
President, and Wicklitfe for Governor.
We might look q long time for better
representative men without 1irding them.
Hendricks is true to the people, true to
the Constitution, was chiefly instrument
tai in giving homes to the frontier set
tiers who populated the States west of
the Ohio river, and is Il statesman whose
IDEAS Of government are as liberal and as
broad as the great prairies of his own
Indiana.
Gen. Gordon is the Bayard of American
Senate. Military and civil honors clus-
ter around him, and he is Christian
public character.
Robert Wicklitfo belongs to an honor
ed Kentucky family-distingu at
the bar, in the pulpit and in the halls Of
legislation. He has filled offices Of high
trust in this State, and his record is IL
clear one. He is a strict coustrucuionist
and believes that Legislatures should act
within the limits of the constitution, and
no furthe". He favors Il rigid adminis-
tration Of the laws, and is u strict econo-
mist in disbursing the public morey. His
devotion to the State of Louisiana and
his whole life is u guarantee that he
! would be a sure man to pilot the ship of
State through the breakers that sur
round her.
We have said this much Of the distin-
guishad persons brought before the peo-
pie of high positions; we could say not
less. We could name u host of others
equally worthy of public trust, but in
all the land, throughout its length and
breadth, none can be found more deserv-
ing of the confidence of the people of the
United States and of the State of Louis
iana.-Poiate Coupee Pelican.

4 HORRIBLE DEATH.

From the Louisiana Sugar Bowl we
| learn the following particulars of a most
horrible death by fire in New Iberia !:
On hristmas eve, about 10 o'clock p. m.,
| upon his return home, Mr.. Gonsoulin dis
covered his wife dead. Mrs. GonsouIin
was burned to death. Her remains We're
| so charred and blackened by the action
Of the fire, that she could be scarcely
recognized. Mrs. Gonsoulin, q member
of one of the families of Broussards, in
this parish, had been toc many years af-
fected with fainting spells, and a species
of epileptic fits. She was a alone in their
home, near the lower limits Of town, at
the time of the burning, her husband be-
ing up town. 1t is not known in what
while suffering from one of her spells or
not. There are reasons for believing that
she had been dead some time when her
husband came and found Il corpse instead
of a living wife whom had left in the
evening. The fire in the chimney place
was burnt out except 4 few Goals, there
were no coverlets left on the bed, a pile
of ashes on the floor indicated that the
poor woman may have wrapped herself III
the bed-c!othing in order to extinguisl
the fire. We believe Mr.. Gonsou!in, un-
der tho excitement of this cruel a!iilc-
ton, lai1 the body on % bed and hasten
ed to one of his neighhors for assistance.
Upon the neighbours coming, 1t was dis
covered that the bed in the room adjoin-
ing the one in which she had been placed
was on fire. A few moments moro and
the house itself would probably have
been in ashes.

The VALUE OF DIAMONDS.-The Uues-
ton is often asked-"Why are diamonds
so costlys Why are they so highly priz-
ed? This may be answered somewhat in
the same way as when we determine the
reason for the high value placed on gold,
yet gold is estimated rather from fashion
than from any real beauty. Its value
depends, however,, on its comparative
scarcity, but above all its durability.
The diamond, the most costly of all sub
stances, has intrinsic beauties of its own
1t has limpldity, brilliancy, fire
appcrtaining to itself, but above all, an
absolutely indcstructibility far sur
passing that of any known product,
which gives the additional reason for it's
enhanced value. The first diamond tax
ell from the bed of the Indian torrent,
cut centuries ago, has not lost an atom
of its weight, nor has spark of its bril-
liant fire been dimmed. Though it has
passed through millions of hands, it
shows no trace of wear; it has been sub
.jected to all temperatures and climates,
and it's shining lustre has never paled.
This indestructibility has, then, made it
inestimable as standard of value. A
thousand years ago it had its price, and
thousand years to come it must remain
unchanged in form and lustre, and still
be an object of worth,
