The United States snagboat O. @. Wagner
has errived from New Orleans; she Went
below Tuesday evening, aud will remove all
distractions as she passes down. There are
twelve labprers on her. The United States
government has appropriated $4,000 toward
the Improvement Of the Ouachita, and the

The weather has been fine for three weeks
mast for the layIng-by Of sugar cane. Plant
ers have been using the opportunity thus
afforded, and, should no inopportune weather
occur, the entire crop will be laid by previous
to July 4. The cane appears generally to PC
satisfactory to the planter, save that 1t Is
rather small for the time Of the year, yet,
with favorable weather, 1t can easily catch
up before the rolling season arriyes.-lHouma

The colored peopleof New Iberia held their
mass meeting last Saturday, which had been
called for the purpose OF selecting delegates
TO visit Kansas and report upon the nature,
condition and Inducements Of the country.
No delegates were chosen. After listening to
a few windy orations the meeting was adj
iourned to meet next Saturday, when it will
be held Id New iberia, probably ut Grants
Hall.
In regard to the proposed water route
Through Terrebonne TO New Orleans, there
can be no doubt as to Its entire feasibility.
The most difficult portion will doubtless be
Raven Black, and yet steamboats, formerly
ran up that stream some miles above Houma.
All that will be necessary to make 1t navig-
able for large size steamboats, will to dredge
out the mud and grass and let the tide water
pass through New Iberia Sugar Bowl.
At o. special election held Ia .Bastrop last
Tuesday FOR two councilmen, Messrs. j. d.
Dalton and j. I'll. Heller were elected. The
council iB now composed a. follows: Messrs.
4 W. R. MeCreight, :. 3; Handy, ]. E :, Dalton,
III. +. Buckingham and j. s. Heller. The four
last named gentlemen were members of the
old council and no doubt owe their re.elec-
tion to their successful management OF our
town finances during the past administrator.

After all. from what we lately saw on the
u line Of the Morgan Railroad we are led to
hope the rice crop will turn out much bet
ter than 1t was thought two weeks ago, as
timely rains have changed the color OF the
plant from dingy yellow to Albright
green, and many planters have also
erected machinery to flood their crops, which
makes their crops a certainty. Among those
who have planted largely on Lafourche We
found Mr.. j.. b. Pittman has about 700 acres
III rice; Mr.. Theriott, on the Scudday place,
about 500 acres; Mr.. O; Dnpuy about $50;
Mr.. Oscar Lepine and Ct. Sabatier also
largely.-[New Iberia Sugar Bowl
