hours behind time, having been de-
tanned by bad weather, aud left on her
return at lOa. M, Wednesday, with
1900 bales as starter. The Laura, we
understand, is becoming very popular
all along the river. Sixteen hundred
bales out of the 1900, were received
here.
The Rosa Is. and Clara S. departed
/ for the Bartholomew Tuesday. After
the Clara had backed out, she blew a
challenge for the Rosa, which was
promptly accepted and now for the
result of the race we will have to wait
until their return. The Rosa had n
good trip; the Clara very light one.

The river reporter OF the TELE-

Rip Van Wrinkle sleep.-B ulleths.
Yes, we acknowledge, that we were
asleep when the Earle passed down,
but we protest that We cannot, with
life in our body, extend our period of
rest to the time allotted old Rip. By
the by, it doesn't appear that our
riparian friend "indulges'' in the
healthful habit of "early to bed," etc;
and then again he is 80 close to the
river that it might be said he is sitting
on a stump in midstream.
The monarch Fred A. Blanks. ar
rived from New Orleans at 8 p. m.
Friday with a fair trip, and discharged
here fair freight. She left on her
return at s p. IN. Saturday with about
1900 bales cotton; left New Orleans
Wednesday, and is due up tonight.
She returns to the Crescent City to-
morrow evening"
The "dashing'' Rosa e., got on n
rampage up the Bartholo-
NEW last week. She tackled the Clara
s., and also a snag-she got the best
of the former, but the latter was not to
be outdone, and fought nobly for victory
gained. She came in with $50 bales
cotton; a broken pitman, cylinder rod
and cylinder heads ssbusted,' but she

stream. We look for her back to-day.

There is colored Baptist church in
this city which has garnered 375 mem
bers under the soul-moving appeals
of Elder Perry Jackson, the pastor. 1t
is said, however, that with all these
members, the Elder Frequently fails to
collect out of the monthly dues of 25c.
dollars. Religion is pre-eninently free

The editor, accompanied by his
brother of the Minden Tribune, having
heard of the ~myriads of ducks and
pigeons in the jungles down the river
set out thence yesterday afternoon with
blood thirsty intent and 100 rounds of
cartridges. Next week, perhaps, some
thing may appear concerning this
joint hunt, about the first the two ever
had.

Laying II Cornerstone.

The corner-stone of the Masonic Ten
pie of this city will be laid, with appro
pirate ceremonies, on the 22nd instant
The Rev. DIR. II. S. Trippett has signi.
fed to the fraternity, in answer to their
solicitation, his readiness todeliver the
address customary on such occasions,
and we can safely promise the enort
will be that of a good Mason and a
thoroughly informed scholar. The
framework of the Temple is complete
and all in position, and is superb
specimen of mechanical skill ON the
part of the builder, Mr.. Fred Volman.
1t stands on the river front, towering
above its zneighbors, and to the obser-
yer from the opposite bank is the most
conspicuous object to be seen in
the city. When finished, nothing
within the city limits will so readily
attract and rivet attention from the
passing steamer or the approac hing
visitor on the west bank. The corner
stone to be laid on the 22nd is beau
tiful cube of highly polished marble,
about eighteen inches square, on two
sides of which are chiseled respectively
the names of the officers of the Blue
Lodge and of the Chapter, with re-
ceptacle about six inches square in the
center for the preservation of such re-
lies as may be selected as mementoes
of the past and chronicles of the pres
emf, over which, some other scribe than
this will curiously ponder and won der
in his advanced enlightenment may
hap a hundred years hence.

The failure and withdrawal OF the line of
steamers running from this country to Brazil
may be and doubtless Is bad thing for its pro.
Jectors; it Is also unfortunate for American
merchants and manufacturers. but 1t Is in.
hnitely worse for the people OF Brazil them
selves. The owners OF the line probably lost
some money In pushing their enterprise, bat
they still have their vessels. for which there is
coed demand. American business men who
wish to go or ship anything to Brazil by steam
must now do so by way OF London, "a long and
expensive way round. The Brazllians, how
ever, have lost all chances of a choice OF mar
kets to buy and sell In, and find their foreign
commerce In the hands Of few men whose
sole interest it Is to make Brazil entirely de
pendant upon European COUNTRIES in CONNER
cfal and financial matters. 1t would have been
the part OF wisdom In Dom Pedro to have pre-
vented this at almost any expense to the Bra
lillian treasury, whether the United States gov
eminent would sutSidlse the line or not.

The New York Complication,

VIEW HOHA complication
The attempt OF the New York staiwarts at
Albany to force caucus last night resulted In
fat failure. The declaration of Mr.. Conkling's
adherents that the caucus was simply post
poned until 1ext Monday night does not de-
ceiVe anybody. The postponement was mat
ter OF necessity. Nothing has yet occurred
which so clearly demonstrates the loss OF Conk.
ling's power and influence Even the members
of the legislature who have been regarded as
Conklfng'5 servants, refuse to recognize his
authority any longer. Members who have
hitherto been as subservient to the machine as
IL they were its property, now openly admit
that they dare not fly In the face of their con-
stituents by voting for Conkling and Platt.
What Mr.. CcnkliDg will do, low that he
finds IL impossible to secure his reelection,
becomes al interesting question. He Will most
likely employ the same tactics he used so
recently IN the Senate In connection with the
Robertson case; he will plan for delay. A
prominent republican who has been In New
York for several days past is authority for the
statement that the Conklingtes will endeavor
TO prevent an election Of Senators at present.
Their probable policy will be to have the legis-
latuTe take recess until December, with the
view OF permitting republican sentiment, as
expressed at the polls In November, to
decide between the two factions. 1t will
NC CidiItu III DeudlI Oh tnlS plan tnat IL con.
templates the election OF Senators by the
present republican legislature; that at present
1t is impossible TO decide how the majority OF
the republicans Of the state feel In regard to
this contest; that the county conventions for
the nomination Of members of the next legis-
lature and other officers can settle this question
by adopting resolutions expressing the majority
sentiment OF the counties. respectively; and
that, after the election, the now-existing legis-
lature can meet and decide the senatorial
contest fl accordance with the will Of the
party.
MIR. ConkliDg would make good use OF the
time afforded oy the adoption of this plan. He
would Immediately repair and strengthen the
machine, and all its appliances would be
brought to bear upon the county conventions.
The situation at Albany now points unmistaka-
bly, to deadlock. The balloting will open
with triangular fight, and will, no doab5.
continue In that shape for some time II the
legislature remains long In session. Then. to
avoid the warm work necessary In political
contest during the summer months, it is quite
likely that recess will be taken. In such event
Mr.. Conkling will attempt to make hay while
the sun shines. But meantime, it may be as
suned, his opponents Will not be Idle.

snare the Calves.

As spring is now here we would
again caution farmers against the indis-
criminate slaughter of these innocents
The considerations advanced by some
farmers in favor of this practice are
purely of mercenary character, and if
generally adopted would soon put an
end to one of the most important
branches of rural husbandry, and could
be likened to the fable of the foolish
man who killed the goose that lay the
golden egg.
1t requires but very little trouble to
raise spring calf, and what little
trouble there is is confined to the first
few weeks of its life. The better way
is to put the calf in some convenient
grass lot separate from the COW, and
allow it to suck its mother every morn
ing and evening, gradually diminishing
its allowance as the grass makes its ap-
pearance and which it will soon learn to
eat. At the end of five or six weeks it
can be easily taught to drink out of
bucket, when skinned milk, mixed with
a little corn nd oats ground together,
and la little faxseed boiled to Jelly, can
be substituted for its usual diet of new
milk. Calves fed in this way seldom
get the ''scours, but should a case of
the kind occur it can easily be stopped
by giving the calf little boiled fresh
milk, and mixing Herewith table,
spoonful or so of powdered chalk.
When the calf is some three months
old and the grass well up, it may be
turned out to some good pasture where
there is plenty of water, but not within
reach or hearing of the COW. The
trouble is then all over, as the calf will
shift for itself.

The Poetry of Farming.

1t is in strict accordance with the ma
ture of things that VIII Carleton, who
has written such sweet ballads of farms,
farm life and families, never owned a
farm, never lived on one, and never had
any wife or family. No man who ever
lived and worked on q farm could ex-
tract poetry from breaking your back
with a scythe, wearing out your running
gear behind a pillow, breaking unruly
steers, milking dirty COWS with the mer-
curry below zero, picking dead sheep in
winter, and sleeping in the barn in sum-
mer to get rid of the mosquitoes. There
is no poetry about it. I'll leave that to
any farmer. The only people who can
get poetry out of farm life are those who
never saw it, and the imagination ol
such would extract an epic from the life
of car driver.
