President Gar6eld's condition, from
last accounts, is anything but prom
Using. Five or six surgeons hold four
or five scientific consultations over
him daily, without being able to stop
the fever that is slowly consuming
him. They have had a refrigerating
apparatus arranged to cool, artificial
ly, the atmosphere Of the room in
which lies the patient. If, instead Of
of being over-doctored and over
nursed, the President had been at
tended to, as the Confederate wound
ed were, in their field hospitals, with
cold spring water congresses and nc
extra care, the chances are that he
would be much better. In word,
nature ought to be given a better
chance to work for his cure.

:NATCHEz 4 NEW ORLEANS r. R,

The Natchez Democrat, in an inter-
esting editorial, announces that a
company has been organized in Nat
chez, and the amount OF one hundred
thousand dollars subscribed, to con-
struct a railroad from Natchez to New
Orleans, via Baton Rouge.
The Democrat, after showing the
great advantages Of the proposed
railway, calls upon the Advocate Of
this city, who urged the construc-
ton of the line described, together
with our citizens, to come to the as
sistance of the Natchez people, and
thus insure its completion.
Though we have always believed
thata line running farther east of the
proposed one would be more advan-
tageous to this city and to the people
of the interior country, lying between
the Mississippi and the Jackson road,
on the principle that railroads are
beneficial, no matter which way they
run, we readily yield our opinions
to the enterprise of the go-ahead
people of Natchez, whose pluck we
greatly admire. We would therefore
urge their project to the favorable
consideration of the officers of the
Eastern Louisiana Railway Company,
with the hope that their well-known
public spirit will prompt them to ex-
tend helping hand to our Natchez
neighbors.

The process, says the Baltimore Sun,
of subdividing the large plantations into
smaller farms is going on steadily in the
South, even in the States where the old
system had taken the deepest hold. The
hard working farmer who follows the
plow himself, is gradually crowding out
the luxurious planter, who, in the ante
bellum days, scarcely took the trouble
to direct the operations of his laborers.
In Mississippi, for instance, there we've
1880 plantations in 1860, and the aver
age number OF acres III each was $40
Ten years later there were IS, 023 farms,
the average area of each being 1873 acres.
In 1850 the number of farms was IS, eos,
averaging lS5 acres each. While the
area of cultivated land is less than it
was in 1870 yet the production of cotton
Is nearly twice as great, The census OF
1890 will doubtless show a still greater
change in the domestic economy of the
South, as indicated by large number
of landowners and a vast increase in
agricultural products

HARK YE!

IN. 0. W., a Baton Rouge CORES
pondent of the Donaldsonville Chief,
makes the following striking refer
ence to certain coercionists in this
city, who wanted people to throw
aside their inclinations and take up a
sanctimonious observance of the Sab
bath, which they did not believe to
be in accordance with their religious
teachings. 1t is practical ilIustra-
ton Of the old proyerb-"s training at
gnat and swallowing a camel"
Nov, Mr.. Editor, Idont want you
to take me for an infidel, but | have
this to say: that some of the greatest
sias we commit on this earth are
against our fellow men, and ourselves
We have men among us too consci.
entious to participate on occasions
like the one of last Sunday, but who
were mean and sinful enough to
close mortgages for one-fourth the
value on property and turn poor
helpless widows and orphans out on
the streets to starve! And they are
members of the church, too! We have
others amongst us who freely partici
pated in the pleasures of the day
who have often taken the last nickeI
from their pockets to help those pool
unfortunate fellow creatures that ha(
thus been treated by some o
these church brethren. We have
brethren amongstus who make it {
business to swindle the poor hal
paid laborer out of his hard earned
dollars-till their pockets with i'll
gotten gold and swim in luxury, while
human want and misery appeal tt
them in vain.'

st. Bernard Eagle: Baton Rouge is
at last city "on wheels" We gather
from the CAPITOLIAN that the Pacific
Railroad is now running beyond that
point, and the New Orleans morning
papers are delivered on the streets Of the
Capital at 2:l5 P. NJ. Another equally
interesting item concerning the future
prosperity of the State, is the descrip-
ton of central sugar factory, which
has been erected on the Holly Wood
Plantation, twelve miles below the city
of Baton Rouge. OF this we can say
that the CApIToLrAN has only done JUS
tice to this enterprise, in announcing it
as one of the greatest marks Of substan-
tial progress in Louisiana.

Bodies, a young man at Coldwater.

for robbing the Young Mems Chris

fellow, says Peck's Sun, for robbine
the young men, for they can &C

take up another collection and may
be get more than they had before,
but it is mighty serious thing to

Nothing speaks better for commune

of cotton, of last years crop, are sold in
Opelousas every day, by that class
