uavigable for thn e-fourths of the year
for frat class boats, and is frequently
navigable for those Of light draught
during tho entire season of low water.
The established rate of freight by river !
is one dollar per bale for cotton, and !
fifty cents for dry barrels. Competition |
frequently forces these rates to as low
as three fourths less than the figures
given. The work of eievating the road
bed Of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific railroad above overflow, is now
being done, and when. completed will
afford you from here, at all seasons, an
outlet to New Orleans and all points
north and east. Again, work has COM
menced ON the Alexandria and Little
Rock railroad, which is to pess through
this City and when finished will give
US two competing lines toNew Orleans,
independent Of the river, insuring q
low rate of freight at all seasons, and
when finished will certainly afford

Since the extinction of slavery the qucs.
ton of labor for the fields as elsewhere has
boon most serious one for the people of
this section, Here are millions of acres OF
lands suitable for the cultivation of cotton
rs we'll as other southern products,
lying idle all through the south,

for years to come with the ilcccy staple.
The land is cheap and may be had AT prices
varying from twenty-five cents per acre up

is being continuously invited, and is COM
ing into our midst, our large farms are
being cut up into smaller ones and
offered TO these newcomers. There
Is no question that the
cotton can be most successfully and re-
munera,iycly produced but the trouble is
the difficulty of securing the crop. 1t must
be picked at certain time, and unless the

MALARIAL DISEAsEs-A VERY POSI-
BLE ANTIsEPTIC.

In numbcrlcSs of our exchanges during
the past few months we have seen and read
much of the wonderful antiseptic qualities
of the important tree, botanically known as
the Eucalyptus Globulus. 1t would seem
that where experiments have been faith
fully made, it has demonstrated
its peculiar property of arrcsting malarial
troubles, and appears to do rs effective
work in that way ms does the cinchona tree
of Peru through its bark extract, which we
know as quininc The city ofNew Orleans
| is now making the experiment in some of
her low districts, and the result is worthy
of and is watched with exceeding
interest In what manner the
Eucalyptus performs the function
in question is yet a matter of argument, but
the moro generally accepted solution is that
the result is produced rather by the extern
siyc drainage effected by its roots than by
any autlseptc eyhalations through its
leaves. We know, however, that these
leaves are most advantageouSly smoked for
the relief Of asthma, bronchitis and whoop.
inE cough And so in intermittent fever,
the tincturc is often cilicaciuus, though
regarded ms inferior to the Peru
Wan bark, In Algeria, India, Egypt, etc,
it has done splendid work in the decreasing

ing cvtc. siYely tested in California and on

lential marshes Numerous futile efforts to
improve its sanitary condition were made
by the popos and the governors of Rome,

inadequacy ofthe number OF fingers the
colored man to do what anto-bellum
days witnessed. Hence, our splendid soils
go without availing us what they ought.
While all other field crops have largely ad-
vanced in the quantity of yield and the I'M
proved methods ottheir cultivation, that of
cotton has been pretty much at a standstill,
and the primitive methods Of the oldcn time
are still in vogue. Tr'S in the gins aud
in the presses the' ye been some ad-
vances, but .cking is done in
the same ..d and slow and
sloyenly style, and therefore
We cannot look for largely increased sup
plies. We are now truly gratifed that dur
ing the past year or two quite number of
devices, machines for picking the staple
have been patented, and although the de-
sideratum is not yet attained, still consider
able progress has been made. Some fail to
properly take the lint from the bolls, some
injure them, some collect portions Of leaves,
pods and bark, etc, These hollis ripening at
irregular intervals and so having to be
visited at odd times machine
Is required that will not thus
injure them, and yet one that
will completely strip it without mix
ing in the leaves and bark and other mat
tiers that destroy its due grade, Last year
this great crop was estimated by the census
bureau at 5,7T PSI bales and yet the aver
age yield was only bales Of 475 pounds
each to 10 acres, or bale to 3 IL acres;
whereas, We ought to have secured,
had 1t all been properly saved, at
least l-2 bale to each acre averaged; in other
words, We should have had Il bale
per acre more, and as there were
cultivated some l4ii2,OU acres we would
have had say 100000 bales moro than we
did have. How much of this was lost to
the south from want of facilities ofpicking
we cannot say, but We assume not less than
2,OO,VD bales, which at $40, would have
been SSU0;oD. Now, when we consider
