A Natchez special to the New Or
leans Democrat says: "Miss Mil
dred, daughter of Gen. Robt. E. Lee,
left our city this evening on the steam
or Lee for her Virginia home. Just
before her departure delegation OF
ex-soldiers Of the Armies Of Virginia
aud Tennessee waited upon her and
presented her with number Of floral
offerings: also ahandsome solid silver
card receiver, suitably inscribed. Hon.
X. Palmer Lanneau made the presen-
tation address. Miss Lee has spent a
week with our people, being the
guest of Mrs. Wilmer A. Shields, a
daughter of Randolph Tucker, OF
Virginia, and has been givinSrecep-
tons almost every evening during
her sojourn. The boat this evening
was crowded with persons to see her

tc,ted at the distinguished consiaera,
ton shown her.

We only want immigrants as we can sup
port and assimmulate them, and we on
~ need capital as we learn how to prof.
tably employ it. Let then, our hope be in
our own industry, enterprise and toll, l

where: The Gods help them that help
themselves"
ut is not numbers that we want, so
much as men. All men remember the
fable of the she wolf and the lioness.
The she wolf boosted on the number OF
her little ones at each littering, and up
braided the lioness, as she Uttered only
one at q time. ''But," said the lioness,
"it is q lion" So we would have it
with the South, not so many, but every

The troasnrer's Office 1t Toledo,
Dorsey county, Ark, was robbed car
ly Sunday morning Of $4,000 or $lo,-
900. The thieves, numbering fifteen
or twenty men, were well armed,
mounted and masked. Surrounding
the courthouse they broke into the
Office of the treasurer, blew open the
safe with powder, and escaped with
the money before an alarm could be
given. A large body OF officers and
citizens are securing The country ii

A CHANGE OF POLICY.

a wall reaches us from lltc otSui
planters, with regard tothe condition
of the plant and stubble cane. If the
picture is not overdrawn, the injury
caused by the extreme cold weather,
will make the sugar yield ofleSl, one
of the shortest. since 1865.
Many of them have courageously
set to work to make the best they can
of the disastrous situation. These
are planting corn, peas and cotton,
while others are going to give sor-
ghum a fair trial.
It will never do to "cry over split
milk The greater the difficulties,
the more is brave mans pluck and
ingenuity brought out. Work and
determination will bring anybody out
of trouble.
The freezing blasts which spread
destruction in the Northern States,
Showed no Partially to the cane fields
of Louisiana. While they have caus-
Ted great temporary injury, we believe
that they will have brought, too, a
blessing in disguise.
Every year. the planters and farm
ers of our State. stake their all in but
two products, cotton and cane: and al
,aost every year, either one or the
other and sometimes both, are tupen-
Sous failures.
The consequence is that more cot
ton and cane are planted during sue
ceeding years, in the attempt to re-
gain the losses incurred III that one
season.
1t is evident thata change OF policy
is necessary. Our tillers of the soil
must diversity their crops, so that
when one thing fails another is there,
to at least enable them to hold their
own.
Planting should not be pursued Oh
the hypothesis that complete success
is assured. Prudence should guide
the hand Of the husbaudman, so that
he may not undertake more than he
can handle when the worst is en-
c0lntercd.
The time has come when our peo.
pie can no longer afford "to go il
blind in any undertaking. Judg
ment and intelligence must be exer
, cised in our agricultural pursuits, i
, stable prosperity is ever to be obtain
} ed in Louisiana.
Agricultural societies should exis
B in every neighborhood, so that th
light of information may be sprea'
J. over the home and field Ofevery farm
or Or planter.
Through these societies the result
of experimentation would be mad
known, new cereals would be intro
= duced, and in fine, all the resource
Il of our fertile soil would be brough
f ont and turned into dollars and cent:
o We suggest, as a remedy Tor til
d troubles of our agriculturists, the fol
II nation of these societies to subserv
II the double purpose Of bringing imm
a. grants and conducting field operation
l. in a wide-awake and careful name
a Will not our contemporaries join
10 in advocating such movement?

A remarkable escape occurred
from the penitentiary at Goldsboro,
N. G., Wednesday morning. kinchen
CHM, a negro, was placed in the
black ward with another convict
Monday. That night the other con-
Wet died, and Tuesdap his remains
were placed for burial in a rude pine
box full of knot holes. At an early
hour this morning CHM placed the
corpse in his own bed, carefully COW
ering it up. He then attired himself
in the burial clothes that had been on
the dead man, and got into the we'll
ventilated coffin. Soon afterward
the Potters Field grave-digger en-
tered, fastened the coffin top down
with a few nails, tumbled the box
into his wagon and drove off with it
toward the burying grohnd. On the
road CHM easily burst from his rick
ETY. prison and fell upon the grave
digger, who, almost frightened to
death at the resurrection, fled to the
woods. Ginn drove off. and no trace
! of him can be found.

ton and his economy, suddenly becomes
rash and reckless Spectator, plunges into
every gambling venture, evinces the
most unwarrantable confidence in the out
come OF enterprises which he has never
calculated, and at the same time begins to
display a profigate spirit in his social rela.
tons, and to lavish his money prodigally.
His family and friends think that his
character has changed for the worse.
But the truth is that the man is mad, and
completely irresponsible. In few months,
if he does not kill himself in frenzy, his
insanity viii become too patent for doubt
but meantime he may have ruined
fourishing business, dissipated all his
property, and consigned his wife and
children to penury. Had his friends been
acquainted with the manifestations by
which the progress of general paralysis is
marked, they might have interfered in
time to save his property, and perhaps
also in time to give his reason a chance of
recovery. As a rule, however, there is
little or no hope in these cases, and the
only course is to prevent the sufferers from
doing serious mischief while in an ire
sponsible condition. The San Francisco
leather merchant whose actions have
brought him into the dock of the Police
Court is, we venture to suggest, suffering
from incipient insanity, and his friends
ought to consult an alienist before they
run the risk Of permitting him to be at
liberty again.

e PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

It is stated that the jockey who rode
keenes horse Foxball the other day in the
Cesarewitch received $1,000 for winning
the race. Archer, the jockey who rode Iro-
quois, probably made as much out of his
Derby success. In these days of inter
NATIONAL contests and Titanic betting
jockeying ought to be very profitable
business 1t has been said that 81, 500, 600
were wagered on Foxhall in one way and
another. No doubt there is good deal of
exaggeration in the story, but even allow
ing for that, we may be certain that the
betting was heavy, and that the winnings
were correspondingly large. For short
time this viii go on, but the one fact that
there is capital invested in this sort of
thing is sure sooner or later to lead to
fraud, and SO to break up the whole bust
ness. This was what destroyed the prize
ring. 1t was not that people had grown
more refined and fastidious. If there was
any longer faith in the honesty of pugil-
istic contests these encounters would at
tract as large crowds as ever. The ring
broke down because the thieves got control
OF it, and the same rascally class are sure
to get hold of the international matches
sooner or later, and then there will be
huge explosion, great many wounded
victims, and an abandonment of the sport
Just at present, however, joekeying, in the
innocent sense of the word, appears to
paY very well.

OHIO AND IOWA.

There do not appear to be any lessons
in the Ohio and Iowa elections, and this is
natural, seeing that the present is an "of"
year in politics. These years form the op-
-portunities of the boilers. It is in them
that we hear of dreadfully scratched
tickets, and incomprehensible caprices on
the part of voters, and strange appearances
of Democratic strength in Republican
strongholds, and of Republican strength
in Democratic strongholds. In Ohio and
Iowa there seems to have been the usual
amount of scratching and staying away
from the polls. The Republican candidates,
however, have been generally elected, as
everybody felt assured they would be, and
the circumstances afford no indications
from which the future of politics in those
two States or in the rest OF the Union can
be predicted.
