FIVE SUNDAYS.
BATON ROuGE, La,

BATON RouGE, LA.
MN. EDITOR Perhaps some Of your
readers have not thought that this
coming February has five Sundays
something that can happen only du
ring n leap year, and only when Feb
ruary comes in Oh Sunday. The last
time this occurred was in l852-twen-
ty-cight years ago--and the next
time it occurs will be in l920--forty
years hence. But few Of us will live
till thcn--even our little boys and
girls will be old men and women be-
fore they will sec another February
with five Sundays. Cut this out, little
boys and girls, and keep it till that
eventful period rolls around. J.W.N.

TEE ONLY SAFEGUARD.

The opening Of the new year has
presented serious matters for the con-
sideration Of our planters. There is
no doubt that the greater part Of the
negro labor is leaving us. With this
taken from us, our crops Of cane and
cotton will necessarily be reduced.
For the prosperity Of our town and
parish new order of things must be
inangumted. The 0ser-reaching de-
sire for u large cotton crop should be
carefully investigated and q more
practical plan made the governing
principle. Products for home con-
sumption should be theohject Of every
planter. Sugar is n commodity that
gives him bulk cash as we'll as cotton;
so il ricc-both Of which contribute
directly to the support Of the table.
These can safely be relied upon as
marketable at all periods of the year.
But raised altogether, to the excIu-
sion OF other crops necessary for home
consumption, 1t may bring only ruin
and disaster to the unwary. III fact,
there can be 10 question as to q dis
astrous result.
The question then is, what is best
to be done? The remedy is easy and
practical. Our people must prepare
to work on the principleof diversified
crops. In short, they must remove
their corn cribs and mcat-houses from
the West to their own plantations.
Years ago there was fair test Of this
policy among some Of the hill planters
of Mississippi. The idea had got into
their heads that they could buy corn
from the West cheaper than they
could raise it, and for four or five
years after the war they planted only
limited number of acres. The result
was the merchants became the land
lords, and the farmers labOrcd under
the weight Of heavy mortgages.
About this period change came
over the spirit of their dreams. They
learned from rough experience that a
cotton field was not self-sustaining
when cultivated exclusively. They
changed their basis of action, and
made cotton the surplus crop
instead of corn. Fortune changed.
They worked hard and gradu-
ally raised the mortgages from their
farms, and to-day the hill farmers
in that section of Mississippi are
in better circumstances than those
on the rich alluvial valley lands who
pursued the all-cOttOn course.
So, bear in mind the secret of sue
cess. Diversiiication gives a dozen
chances to where the one-crop plan
merely affords an illusion. A trial OF
two years will show the difference.
Let the spirit and enterprise of our
farmers be aroused to meet the de-
mands of tho exodus emergency.

The Sugar Planter thus starts an
other "waifr on the constantly rolling
sea of mlror which cbaracterizes that
felicitous journal: yesterday well
known gentleman Of the parish was
asked to be security on q bond for a
young colored man about to enter the
holy state of masrimOny. 10 this he
consented; but taking the groom
aside, he jokingly told him that i'll
consideration of his becoming his
bondsman the first boy born unto the
marriage must be named after him.
The sable youth locked up somewhat
surprised at the modest tequest OF his
bondsman and and answered: Hi
golly, boss, de fnst boys been bomed
and christened long ago."

Judge Anderson, in the Virginia
Court of Appeals, recently gave a
most astonishing opinion, The
appellant Mrs. Latham, sought Il
divorce from her husband on the
ground that he had joined the
Republican party. The shock, she
said, was too great for her domestic
happiness. And Judge Anderson
thought that she was right. "The
husband" he said, chad deserted his
friends and gone over to the enemy.
1t was periidy, the moral taint of
which, she felt, attached to him, and
would probably exclude HIM from the
best society in the State" And so the
learned judge thought that the bonds
Of matrimony should be dissolved.
