Patriot Democrat: The Baton Rouge
CAPIToLIAN suggests the erection in
that city of q monument to Gov. Al
len; to be paid for by contributions
from the people of the State at large.
We most heartily second tho move. 1t
is bat proper that one of Louisiana's
most gallant sons, and who lost his life
from wounds received while in the dis
charge of his duty upon that very field
ofcarnage should receive this token OF
greatful remembrance, A truer nAan or
drawer soldier than Henry Watkins
Allen never lived. Let the good work
be inaugurated at once.

The 0uachita Telegraph presents the
following picture, as the result of the
drouth: The continued dry weather
has had tho effect of exhausting the
supply of water from many of tho els
terms and wells in town, and conse-
quently the water carts are taking adj
vantage OF the state al affairs, charging
the moderate sum, so we learn, Of only
twenty-five cents for a barrel of river
water, which is only lit for washing
purposes. Last winter there was a
corner in wood, this summer there's
d "corner" in water.

A contributor to the Agricultural De-
partment of the New Orleans Times
gives the following method for the de-
struction of COCO. 1t may be worthy of
% trial; "Plow the soil as early in the
spring as possible; replow in the month
of April, and SOW the land broadcast in
peas at the rate of one bushel per acre.
The pea vines will shade out the COCO
the first year to such an extent that
'~seIrcely blade VIII be visible the fol-
lowing season. Should any make its
appearance repeat the operation. This
is the only practical method we know
of to get rid Of COCO. The vines may be
ased for hay, and nothing will be lost. F."

struck for an advance Of wages to

any preliminary request for an in

at once discharged the whole force
and will not re-employ them. He
advertises for fifty laborers at 81 so

Dispatches from Richmond, Va,
the crop prospects as the
most dlscouraging that has been
known for years. From all parts Of
the State come more and more dis
couraging reports of the condition of
the crops in consequence of the pro-
tracted drouth. With some very
slight exceptions the drouth has been
universal in Virginia. Corn and to-
bacco on low grounds are fairly good,
but on high lands the corn is a fail
ure, much of it being now cut down
for fodder, and the tobacco cannot
make over half crop and that of a
very poor quality.
The drouth has been especially Sc
we're in tho fine yellow tobacco dis
tricts. The reports from North Car
DINA show the season along the coast
has been good for both cotton and
corn. The rest of the State has suf-
fered dreadfully for want of rain.
The cotton is small and shedding.
The highland corn is absolutely 10th
ing, and the tobacco poor beyond pre-
cedent. The latter crop may reach
half an average in pounds, but will
DO of an Indifferent quality. In South
Carolina, the region west Of Column
bia is reported as having suffered
most, and parties who have traversed
it for the purpose of finding out how
matters actually are, report that there
will be no corn, and cotton is short
about 20 per cent. From East Ten
nessec and West Virginia come SINH
lar complaints in relation to the
drouth and failure of the corn, to-
bacco and grass crops. If rains come
soon, and there ehould be a coed late
season, much of the cotton will come
out and make q second top crop.
The tobacco will be added to in
growth, but, being full of sap, will
not cure well. Nothing will now
save the highland corn.
This condition of the crops in the
grain growing regions of the country
will, we fear, have a demoralizine
effect upon the farmers Of this section
of the country. The failure of the
corn crop in this parish will necessl.
tate the buying of large quantities. te

nearly every parish in the State hav.

There is way to partially offset
| this deficiency. Plenty of turnips
should be planted and all tho hay pos
sible should be harvested, Ever,

and the provident farmer will exer
himself to the utmost to make tn,
ends meet in this direction.

"GOOD- -NIGHT, SWEETHEART" -
And the reason they loved each 9th

as he read to her Holmes sweet
"Opening of the Piano" She had
gotten hint worth having, and in
formation, too, in "Who was Robin
Adair ?" 'Bellini and Pasta" had
held them like a short love story,
and she had played a few bars of
the "Marseillaise," as he read aloud
its origin, and followed with the
Haydn's "Creation" incident. Then
their own romance was so new and
tender, that they sat very close, as
she read Charlotte Cushman S Ro-
nance" A little ashamed now, they
laughed over "Bill Arp" to get over
it, and, instructed by Jean Pauls ar
ticle on "Tho Language of the
Heart" she began to play the new
music of this number, ''The Lost
Chord" and sang it too. Then she
dashed into the brilliant Ely
Waltz" and turned back to the Jan
uary number for the new "Bern-
hardt Shottische," and "The Angel

the debt at 25 cents on the dollar,
taking the ground that owing to
the epidemics the depreciation of
real estate and the loss of 5000 cit
szens by yellow fever, they were
not in a condition to pay more than
that amount. The bondhoIders
desire to get the Legislature to levy

President Hayes, in a speech re-
Gently made before the Press Asso-

" the best newspaper carries with it
nothing but wisdom and truth. The
standard author speaks only to the
few, the newspaper to the millions.
The rubbish will 60, the golden
truth will remain, eternal and i'm
perishable. All honor, then, to the
men who give the world a good
newspaper" And Senator Bayard
on the same occasion, said: Above
the surging mass of human passions
called political life the press rises, a
grand and majestic institution. 1t
was born of free institutions it is
growing each day, and it is yours to
see that it shall be a blessing and
not a curse. Never forget your re
possibility to honor and truth.
