An lex Extraordinary Case Arisen from
the Practice.

A very interesting story is talked
of in some family. circles, who are be-
lieved to be what q yankee would
call "some pumpkin" 1t appears
that four ladies-young ladies, OF
course, as there are no others--enter-
ed into a correspondence recently
with clergyman in London, Eng
land. This family were daughters of
q gentleman who once was n Major in
the English army, and during the re-
cime of the Canadas was one time an
A. d. G. to the Governor General.
Then the family moved in the high
est circles.
The clergyman with whom the Ia
dies corresponded had retired from
the pulpit with y handsome allowance
and had an income of about $4,000 a
year. Besides he was sixty five, in
tellectually infrm, and might die al
any moment. Here was catch. The
correspondence grew from the stage Of
friendliness, past the familiar, and into
the tender lines. 1t had yet to reach
the sublime, and anon the ridiculous.
1t did both, but not yet. One OF the
daughters was widow. Her letters
were judged to be the more pleasing
and the old gentleman in England
likes them best.
! At length matters passed into th'
/ blissful sublime. The aged gentleman
became a suitor, ard not knowing
which of the ladies he mostly did love
sent to each for u photograph. Thi'
was to precede a proposal for mar
riage. The widow was equal to tn
occasion. She judged from the tenol

TO OUR PATRONS.
In view Of the re-establshment OF
the departm ents Of the State govern
ment here, which event is in tho near
future, we propose to keep pace with
the growing Importance of Baton
Rouge, by making such improve
ments to the CArlToLIAN, as will
render il u ereditable representative
of the Capital Of Louisiana.
TO do this, the expenses Of the pa
per will naturally be greatly increas-
ed. Hence the necessity Of swelling
its receipts, which end can only be
reached through the additional pa
tronage of public that cannot have
failed to notice our efforts to bring
it to the first rank among the press
Of the State.
While the CAPIToLIAN has trOd-
den frequently on the coat-tails OF q
good number of people, it has steadi-
ly fought for every object of benefit
to the greatest number. 1t has never
evaded a public question, unmindful
of the antagonisms II has from time
to time excited.
That it has achieved results ad-
vantagcous to the general welfare-o
this community, especially y-many Of
its opponents have willingly acknowl-
edged.
Its way of talking with gloves
off" has given it the steadily in
creasing support Of all liberal mind
ed men, who admit that IN effective
journal ought to have an opinion Of
its own something tiiat cannot be
done by attempting to please every
body,
In extending our grateful thanks
to our klnd patrons, we W0uia asN
of those in arrears to favor us by re-
hitting the same at their earliest
convenience; and thus assist us ma
terially in pushing forward the con-
templated Improvements.

DIVERSITY or CROPS.

'erhe LESSONS Of the past tuw yelsrs
teach US that planting snnst give way
to farming, which Inter means 0 diver.
sity Of crops, stock raising and the pro-
duction Of as many articles for home COLI
sumption Us can possibly be obtained
from our soil.
The above from tho Baton Rouge CAP
ITOLiAN explains the situation in u mt
shell. We have repeatedly cndeayored
t. impress upon our READERS the ideas
advanced hy our contemporary but
with what success we are unable to say.
Certain Il is, the Inst two years expe-
rience has proven thai II is unsafe to de-
pend solely on one crop. This fact be-
comes more apparent every day. The
cultivation Of either cotton or sugar
is syery often subject to many risks.
As conditioned to day the failure Of
those crops will almost bankrupt the
people. But II, ~ our contemporary
remarks, q man would begin operations
by cnltiyating vegetables, esculents,
fruits, corn; ralse poultry aud stock OF
every variety he could afford when the
worst came, to stand q short yield from
his well cultivated surplus ofcotton and
cane; when he can t do il nOv thnt his
all rests upon either Of these two pro-
ducts.D
Another year has again drawn to u
close aud we hope our agricultunl
friends will profit by tho lessons of the
past, These have been bitter to them,
many Of whom have lost their entire
corn crop. This "wholc hog or none'
way Of doing business, to use slang exA
preston, should be abandoned. Let as
many industries be engaged in as pos.
slble and our people will soon become
prosperous and contented. Az any rate
they caunot fare worse than they do
now, --Marksyille Bulletin.

PIN X EYE.

EplToR CApfroLlAN--Tbis disease of
horses. which has lately appeared in
ueighboriug States, among these vslua-
ble animals, and Of which cases have
already appeared 10 onr part OF the
country, is now regarded by the most
scientific veterinary surgeons as being
modified type---as far ms results are
concerned the epizootc, the disease
which was epidemic here in the year
1879, and Of which almost every summer
and fall since then, eases have occurred,
in more or less violent form.
The symptoms Of pink-eye are the same
as those Of the epi2ootic, and generally
characterized by discharges from the
nose, swelling, and in some cases sup
ptration Of the lympbatic glands IN
fact, the whole disease may bo regarded
as an acute inauenza. The coninnctiva
of the eyes assume red or pink appear
ance; hence the term pink.eye. As u
rule, it terminates in recovery, but as
the disease is Of an inilannatory char
acter, il Is very prostrating TO the ami
mails, and requires II constitutional
treatment.

bearing their name, and No were still
more please to learn that they had just
completed arrangements for establishing

domiciled at Baton Rouge, where they
conduct an extensive insurance agency,
representing some of the greatest and
soundest companies in this country and

When John Scott Lord Eldon)
was at the bar, he was remarkable
for the sangfroid with which he
treated the judges. On one occasion
q Junior counsel, on hearing their
lo,dships give judgment against his
client, exclaimed that che was sur
prised at such n decision" This was
construed into contempt OF court,
and he was ordered to attend ut the
bar next morning. Fearing Of the
consequences, he consulted his friend,
j ohm Scott, who told him to be per-
fectly at ease, for he would apollo
gize for him in such o way that
would avert any unpleasant result.
Accordingly, when the pame OF the
delinquent was called, John rose and
coolly addressed the assembled trl-
bunal: ~ am very sorry, my lords,
that my..young friend has so far for
got himself as otfeat your honora-

MURDER. Daniel Wier, sausagG-
maker in the parrish of West Baton
Rouge, was most fonlly and brutally
murdered last Monday night, the par
ticnlars Of which seem plunged in mys-
terry. He had been but u short time
previously travelling through the parish
for the purpose Of buying cattle, and, it
is supposed, had money npon his person.
When discovered his bome-a rope
was around his neck, his head mashed,
his body horribly mutilated, and the
money missing, Strong suspicion points

and confined in Jail. Weir was - hard

Of by his community, and the perpe-
traitor of the horrible deed should receive
