Crop Reports.

We have the most favorable re.
ports from different sections of the
parish as regards the conditions of
the crops. Cotton is doing we'll but
is rather small. The corn crop is
remarkably good. Planters say the
prospects were never better for q
fine yield of corn. There is a larger
area planted in this serial this year
than we at first supposed. 1t seems
that the farmers in this parish were
not deceived by the high price of
cotton, and did not increase their
usual crop of this staple. We un.
derstand that a large quantity Of
oats has been made. This much USE
full crop is now ripening and will
soon be ready for the reaper's blade.

riantly. The same reports reach us
from all portions of the parish, and
with one or two more good rains at
the proper time the yield of both
corn and cotton will be much larger

CAPT. PAYNE, at the head of eight COM

territory, where they are confronted by a
company: Of federal cavalry. Capt. Payne
informed the military commander that it
was the intention to move into the public

hidden by congress. Most of Paynes par

sufficient seed for the next planting, Wo-

THE beautiful planet Venus takes the
place of honor among the starry hosts that
studs the December sky. This planet sets
now about a quarter before o'clock. At
the end of the month, she will grace the
winter evening sky until about 8, more than
three hours after sunset. Jupiter is evening
star, anda beautiful object in the sky, though
his waning glory forces him to yield the
starry sceptre to his fair rival. Jupiter sets
now at o'clock in the morning; at the end
of the month about midnight. Saturn is
about three degrees north of Jupiter and sets
an hour later. He sets now at about 3 clock
in the morning, and at the end of the month
at one o'clock. Mars is morning star and
rises about quarter after 6 o'clock; at the
end of the month ct o'clock. Uranus is
morning star, and rises now about midnight,
and at the end of the month about 10. Mer-
curry is morning star and rises now about a
quarter before o'clock; at the end of the
month about half past 6. There are two
new moons in December, one on the LIST and
one on the 31st, and two eclipses, that on
the 31st being partially visible.

Sara Bernhard, the Finest Living Rep
reSentative of Death.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

from the Phlladelphla Bulletin.
The modes in which Sara Berndardt
turns the heads of the susceptible in New
York are various. Some go wild about her
cloths; others about her voice; others about
her hair; others about her French accent,
which must be fine in Partisan to meet
New York approval. But the latest form of
the Bernhardt agony is that of fascination
with her manner of dying. She is, appar-
emily, the finest living representative of
death. She has exalted the process to o
fine art. She has so far, died in four Diff
ferent ways on the New York stage; of poi
son as Adrienne, of consumption as Mar
guerite Gautier, of remorse and heart break
as Froufrou, and in some other way as Do
ma Sol. She does them in winsome, fas
cinating way, with ghastliness in one, with
pathos in another, with grace in all. She
dies sitting in chair, reclining on couch.
standing erect and then tumbling in q heap
of drapery, and sprawling on the floor.
How many more manners of dying she NAV
be capable of must depend upon the extent
of her repertoire. It must be droll to those
behind tie scenes to see her various resur-
rections from her death scenes, and to OBJ
serve the quickness with which she adjusts
her countenance to the proper expressions
when the Gabriel's trump of her audience
arouses her and calls her before the curtain
to receive the reward of their judgement.

OFFICIAL returns from great majority
of the states, and careful estimates for the
rest, place Gen. Garfeld's popular majority
over all at 763, and his plurality over Gen.
Hancock at $4,000. The total popular vote
is over 1900, 900, an increase of nearly $780,
600 since 1876. The above figures are
from republican sources, and it is proper to
say that democratic estimates give Gen.
Hancock small majority over all. Which
ever is correct, it is certain that on the pop
ular vote the last presidential election was
the closest ever known.

A Widows Five Sons Killed in the War.
Boston Commonwealth.

Gen. Schouler wrote to the papers Just be-
fore Thanksgiving in 1864 asking the public
to look after the soldiers families at the
festival, so that all might have good din
ner, and concluded with these words: II
can point out where, in one of the most
wealthy and populous wards of this city, a
poor but worthy widow can be found who
sent five sons into the War, all the children
she had every one of whom has fallen in
battle. Should not these people have a
good Thanksgiving dinner?' The note at
tracted the attention of Gov. Andrew on the
same evening, and, with that sympathy for
the afflicted so characteristic of his grand
nature, he at once penned the following
note to Gen. Schouler:
Boston, Nov. 81, 1864.-Dear General:
W hat is the precise address of the mother
of the five fallen heroic sons to whom you
allude in your note to the. Transcript this
evening? I want the honor and pleasure of
seeing to that mothers thanksgiving dinner
myself. Poor woman! And yet how can she
feast, save in the memory of affections, and
in the expltaton of u heart triumphing oyer
human grief; when sustained by the thought
of the reward to her and hers hereafter, who
have done SO well and suffered SO much?
Please see me in the morning. Yours faith
fully, :.~ e: JohnA Andrew"
Doubtless the dinner was Forthcoming,
and the physical wants of the widow were
bountifully supplied. 1t is supposed that
the name Of the lady was Bliss, as few
days later widow of that name who had
lost five sons, her sixth being wounded
and in the: hospital, received touching
letter OF coincidence from President
Lincoln.

VERY little fegret is expr essed at the fail
ure of Arnold, the great coffee merchant of
New York. In combination with Boston
party, which has since failed, he has en-
deavored to control the coffee trade of the
country-as the big gamblers at Chicago do
the pork trade-and has often arbitrarily
advanced the price of coffee three and four
cents pocnd. Merchants were obliged to
submit to his terms, and they could never
tell what the price might be from one week
to another. The time is at hand when leg
islation will be imperatively demanded to

troll the markets of the country.

An exchange writes on the subjec. of a
girls eleven years" after which it is in
order for some one to write of a "boy's
eleven years.:
At seventeen the girl thinks often of love !;
delights in love songs; fills Moore's poems
with pencil marks; thinks Byron's face
beautiful; eats lgtie in company. At cigh-
teen, still thinks a great deal of love !;
would care nothing for poverty, providing
she had a sweetheart who adored her; in
deed would rather be poor than rich were
yet met Still reads great deal of poetry
and novels which deal largely with love and
the death of the heroiDes; passionstely
fond of children. At nineteen, a little more
critical; finds some of the poetry that
pleased her last year Ii tie weak; looks
about for steadier authors than her old fa-
vorites; dances every dance at bail, and
is not quite so particular as Ia the men who
are introduced TO her. At twenty, is not
sure, after all, whether it is not better to be
an old mans darling. Nevertheless, she
tiirts more uniformly; all her shyness is
gone, and she enjoys her food whether peO-
pie are looking at Ler or not. At twenty
one her belief in old men is strong; she
has lost her prejudice in favor of poverty
and cottages, yet she would not insist upon
money were her ideal to present himself.
At twenty-five, thinks her youngest sister
rather forward in her manner, particularly
with young fien /; sometimes suggests to
mamma that the invitations which include
the youngest sister are merely acts of po-
liteness which people do not want to be lit
orally interpreted At twenty-three is an
moved if any one says in her presence that
the pallor of half the girls that one meets
comes from tight-lacing At twenty-fOur,
laces deliberately for a waist, and does not
much mind it if it is known; finds the COM
pany of old men always more agreeable than
than of young men, and is fiattered if boys
pay her attention. AT twenty-five, is found
behind bazaar stalls, initiates the style of
the fashion-beauty frequently alters the
style of her coiifure, and uses great many
different kinds of stuff for her hair. AT
twenty-six, declares that she hates the idea
of marriage, wonders how girls can volun-
tarily enter a state of bondage; marks all
passages in novels in which are called ty-
rants, and ceases to notice other peoples
babies. Al twenty-seven falls in love;
about four months of quiet anguish and
despair; sits late into the night alone in her
room; writes twenty letters IN all conceiy-
able styles-from the passionately scorniul
! to the mild, forgiving, heart-breaking style
none of which are posted; destroys the
ball room programme on which he has writ.
