= A wool and wheat grower says. ut
is my belief that the real reason why
our wheat crops only yield half as much
as the English crops is that in England
farmers utilize sheep as grain growers,
while we consider them only wool and
mutton makers"
We inadvertently omitted to mention
the departure of our young typographi
cal friend, Harry Hueston, for New
Orleans, last week, where he has gone
to "take rack" in the Democrat office.
We hope him all the success his fondest
hopes may have pictured to him.
Seek not to please the world, but your
own conscience. The man who has q
feeling within him that he has done
his duty upon every occasion, is far hap
pier than he who hangs upon the smiles
of the great, or the still more tickle ia
vors of the multitude.
When heavy rains follow long spell,
the potatoes which have completed
their growth, if left in the ground, will
start into growth, and be much injured
1t can be put down as a safe rule, no
matter what the season is, that the po-
tatoes should be dug so soon as they are
ripe.
Tuesday morning last, a colored wo-
man named Sarah, living in an out
building at Mr.. Bartoli's residence, on
North street, was called to get up at
about the hour of four o'clock. Not
responding to the call, the door of the
room was opened, when she was found
dead in her bed. Appoplexy is supposed
to be the cause.
We have received the first number of
the Universal Cooperation of Capital
and Labor" published at New Orleans
in the interest of Louisianas co opera
tive central factories Mr.. TIL. Harang,
ST., the managing editor, displays con
siderable tact and ability We shall
watch the course of this journal with a
lively interest.
In the personal column of the Morgan
City Review we find the following:
"Gen. Leon Jastremski, the worthy
Mayor of Baton Rouge and able editor
OF the CAPIToLIAN, passed through our
parish Wednesday of this week, going
West on the Texas train. Rumor hath
it that the gallant general is about to
take unto himself wife.
The contractor for carrying the mails
between this city and Bayou Sara, after
making every possible effort to secure q
suitable boat for the purpose, and fail
ing, was compelled to abandon the con-
tract. This will cause only temporary
suspension of the line, however, as the
postal department will make immediate
arrangements for its resumption.
We notice among the engagements
announced in the San Francisco daily
Stock Report that of our former young
fellow citizen, Mr.. Thomas w. Chinn.
He is engaged to Miss Lille B., daughter
of District Attorney Smoot, of that city.
They will be married during the holt
days. The many friends OF Mr.. Chinn
In this and West Baton Rouge parish
will wish him God.speed when the nup-
tial day arrives and he becomes hap
by benedict.
The Morning Star resumes her trips to
Bayou Sara to-day, as mail steamer.
As in the past, she will give general sat
isfaction to all parties concerned. The
advertisement in another column will
furnish all necessary information to
parties desiring to secure passage. 1t
should be remembered that this is not
freight boat, but designed especially
for the quick transportation of mails
and passengers. Let her be supported
handsomely, so as to promote mutual
confidence and permanent mail line
between Baton Rouge and Bayou Sara.
Elsewhere will be found little poem
dedicated to James A. Bickham, the
hero who sacrificed his promising young
life in defense of woman's fair name in
Arkansas last week, an account of which
we published, A Drawer, more heroic
deed never was known, and Pike co..
