| On Thursday evening last the
inhabitants of our two towns were
treated to rare theatrical per-
tormance by the Hvlcn D'Este
troupe. lhe play rendered was
Miss MoULToH' in which Miss
D'Este exhibited with wonderful
oxactuess the character of Miss
Moulton, the tile role, and so we'll
did she play her part that when
the curtain fell scarcely dry eye
was there in the Hall. This cele.
b;ated actress was ably seconded by
the well known and popular &C.
tor, Mr.. f. NJ. Cottrcll as Mau~
rice DeLatour. The play included
the entire troupe of FIVE ladies and
five gentlemen all of whom did cx-
ccptionably well in sustaining the
reputation OF this company for first
class acting.
Following this touching drama
was enacted family farce entitled
TBE HAPPY PAIR, by Miss D'Este
and Mr.. Cottrell, in which love
unrcquitted was we'll portrayed.
This little farce was well culcuta-

pleasant state of mird from which
they had been drawn by the in
tense suGerings OF Miss Moulton,
in the drama. This company rem
dercd the DIVORCE last night to
a large and appreciative audience,

THE RECORD OF A COLORED PATRIOT

| On the morning of the Sd of January
the present year, several prisoners made
| their escape from the Parish Jail, in this
| place. Among the escaping '.birds' was
one Baptste GLAND, q quick, sharp and
quite successful niulatto til lief, who had
only few days previous been incarce-
rated on pretty we'll authenticated
charge of burglary. The departure of
these citizens from the protecting walls
Of their quiet domicilc, when all nature
was in mourning for the scared and faded
| aspect to which the rude hand Of winter
| had reduced our green earth-caused a
pnng of regret (for their exposed boGies.
| pcrhaps) to pass across the mind of
| our worthy Sheriff, while the poor
joilor was almost diiconsolate, tho two
| bits per diem for board, having cndcared
them to his generous heart. Baptiste, it
seems, on making his escape, sought 9TH
cr and more conGenial climes; went fur
thcr South, and has been wept for as one
lost from earth. But joy of all joys, he
lives, and our efficient sheriff is happy in
the consciousness that but q short while

old quarters at the Hammer House.
Baptiste would no doubt have remain
cd in obscurty but for his overwcaning
desire for national notercty as L perse
cuted colored person. He has acquired
the notcriety but it is not of the nature
sought for. Below we publish Il letter
written by this "fugitive from Justice"
al, J. foil I, I,
peculiar to those of his race who have
wrote before him, ''the old, old story" of
fraud and cruelty to his race. The letter
was no doubt intended for Mr., Wheeler,
the Vice Pres. of the United States, the
receiver of all intimidation documents
from the South, by him to be handed to
Conkling, who would have read with
touching pathos this simple story of the
trials and hardships of an escaped negro
fclon, and magnificent ground work
would this have furnished for an outrage
speech but for a very simple but to GLAND
fatal mistake Instead of seuding the
appeal to the President of the Senate, it
was mailed to the Speaker of the House.
Mr.. Randall referred this letter to Hon.
r. L. Gibson, who in turn referred it to
Hon. John S. Tuiiy, Chairman of the
Democratic Central Committee of Loulsi-
ana. This gentleman Immediately wrote
to Charles L. Fisher, EST, Chairman of
the Democratic Executive Committee of
West Feiciana, for q history of GLAND,
which was readily furnished, together
with grand jury indictment for the |
burglary of some $3.50 worth of goods talk
en- from tho premises of Mr.. NJ. c. Levy,
of this town. Thinking perusal of Bap-
tiste's effort would prove amusing to our
readers we reproduce tue same:

Frog Diamonds.
indianapolis Herald.

One of DR.. w. B. Fletcher's frogs es-
capped from the frogarium some time
time ago, and was found the other day
behind register at his Office starved to
death and shrunk to half it's former d.
mansions. The doctor dissected the
dessicated batrachian, and coming to it's
lungs found these organs clogged with
thousandsof black crystals which looked
like coarse gunpowder. Under the
microscope these crystals presented
regular facets with smooth surfaces, pre-.
sentina the same angle of disqualification
as the diamond. On burning they gave
off carbonic acid gas and they are pure
crystals of carbon as the diamond is.
The doctor theories that m the ages
gone by the huge reptiles of the ante
diluvian period, dying under circum-
stances similar to those which the frog
did, may have formed large crystals Of
carbon in their lungs which were after
ward transformed into the hard and
lustrous diamond.

Dairy Farming.

We have long held the opinion. and
have frequently expressed it, that of all
the branches into which the agriculture
of these islands is divided, dairy farm
ing is destined in the future to be, as it
has lately proved itself, one Of the
most profitable and encouraging. In
saying this we do not forget that
both cheese and butter, in common
with every other agricultural project,
have been for a time almost g. drug in
the market, and we remember that the
milk trade has not, so far as the pro-
ducers are concerned, been in highly
satisfactory condition. Yet at the
same time we call attention to these
important facts; that cheese has been
the first thing to recover from the wide
spread and long continued depression;
and at the present moment there is
brisker demand, and better prices Of
fered for milk to be supplied throuSh
the coming winter, by contract, than
was the case this time last year. These
are the safest features of dairy of farm
ing just now. Butter has also advanced
as cheese has, some 20 or 80 per cent.
during the past three or four weeks,
and is still improving; and these things
put together have caused stir in the
dairy world, which is most cheering in
these gloomiest of days.
The improvement in the cheese
trade is, of course in a measure due to
diminished production of this country,
and to tbs improvement in the price
of American cheese, which has been
brought about by the rapid revival of
trade on the other side of the Atlantic;
but Notwithstanding this, cheese and
milk have shown a degree of elasticity
we look for in vain in anything else.
In their turn they are influencing the
price of butter, and they have kept up
the demand for and the price of in-calf
COWS, particularly of autumn calvers,
IN q way that has made this the most
profitable branch of agriculture on
which we can lay our fingers at the
present time or in the present year.
The improvement in the price of
cheese can not be ascribed to any i'm
provement in quality, for it is well known
that cheese, like almost every
thing else, either animal or vegetable
that the farm produces, is deficient in
quality this year, as compared with
other years. There has been an I'M
usually small supply of sunshine this
year, so that the properties in grasses

and cheese and butter, ana in beef and

A Strange Experience.

Mrs. Jennie Lewis, a well known
resident Of Reno, has just returned
from trip to Europe. During her alb
sence she removed from her ear shell
which had been lodged there for over
thirty years. Mrs. Lewis says that
when q child she was holding smell
to her ear and trying to hear it "roar."
While so doing the she'll, which is
hardly quarter Of an inch in diameter,
slipped into the passage of the ear.
Efforts to disIodge it were unsuccess-
full, and only drove it farther in. It re-
manned there for ten years, causing oc.
casional pains, when a surgical opera
ton for its removal was attempted.
The operation was performed in ILL
nois, where Mrs. Lewis parents were
then living. It was extremely painful
and induced excessive bleeding
but was unsuccessful. For
twenty years more the shell
remined in the ear, completely
obstructing the passages. This sum-
mer, while on her homeward voyage
across the Atlantic, Mrs. Lewis was one
day seated on deck, engaged in picking
with pin tie ear which harbored the
shell. To her great JOY and surprise she
found that the shell which had so long
been firmly fixed was loosened, and
that it moved under the pressure
of the pin. She worked away at it in
great excitement for few minutes, and
at last the long-imprisoned shell was
ext-icated. A surgeon on board the
steamer was greatly interested in the
case, and declared he had never in his
life heard of such an experience. Mrs.
Lewis still keeps the shell, and shows it
to her acquaintance when telling its
story.

Following the LaDgtry Fashion.

Handsome society women in New
York are following the Langtry fashion,
and are photographed to sell so says a
naughty exchange. Five cents per
copy is the average price received by 8
fair subject; and, if she is popular"
the revenue often keeps her in gloves
for whole year. One lady, said to be
of high position, has been photograph
ed several times in a pages costume
that she wore at q fancy ball last winter.
