his hat, Harry Edmond handed to an
old man, against whom he had acciden-
tally stumbled, the cane which he had
knock ed from his hand. II hope I did
not hurt you. We were playing too
roughly"
Mot a bill" said the old man cheerily.
"Boys will be boys, and it's best they
should be, You didn't harm..me."
"I'm glad to hear it," and lifting his
hat again, Harry turned again to join
the playmates with whom he had been
frolicking at the time of the accident.
"What did you raise your hat to that
old fellow for?" asked his companion.
Charley Gray. "He's only Giles, the
huckster."
''That makes no difference" said
Harry "the question is not whether he
is the gentleman, but whether am one. +"

The Plaqucmine South says the sugar
crop of lbcrville parish this year will
not be less that $1,000 hogshcads, be-
sides the molasscs, $4,000 barrels, worth
$1,A00,O0O. Add to this about 100000
for the rice crop, and there is grand
total of $i,6O0,OOO gross receipts from
the two principal crops. The property
which produces this vast sum is assessed
at not quite two million dollars. Thus
it will be seen that we have low rate
of assessment, which is rendered still
more reasonable by the low taxation.
Tho property returns nearly as much in
gross measure as the assessment. And
still there are thousands of acress of
this rich land lying idle. Is there a
country on the face of this green earth
that offers greater inducements to res
ponsible immigrants. Think of it, gen
tlemen, and establish immigration soci-
cites all over the State.

LOSS OF A STEAMER.
All ON BOard Supposed 10 Have
Gone Down.

NEW YORK, September IA
special dispatch from st. Augustine,
Florida, says that there is very little
doubt that the steamer Vera Cruz, of
the Mexican line, which sailed from
New York August 25th for Havana
'and Vera Cruz, went down in recent
hurricane which has already strewn
our coast with wrecks. A terrible
discovery was made yesterday, when
portions of the mail carried by the
ill-fated vessel was washed ashore
some miles south of the city. One
mail bag, containing letters for Cuba
and Mexico, which had been posted in
France August 18th, and another lot
was found with envelopes bearing
postmark of New York, August %
This alone indicated that the last YES
sci was a mail steamer bound for
southern ports, and the surmise was
that it must have been the City Of
Vera Crpez, as she left New York on
the day last named.
