Wehope our farmers have seen the
folly of depending entirely on q cotton
crop TO buy clothing, food foreman and
beast, aud to pay all either expenses.
No one can be independent. when he
farms that way; he will always be in
debt, and dependent. ThefaBmer who
OUTS the greater part of his gYORnd in
corn, peas, potatoes, land rice, keeps .
good garden, raises enough hogs,
beeves, chickens, etc, to keep his fami-
Nv always supplied with a variety OF
wholesome food, will always be ande-
pendent, have better health, fewer doc
tor,s,bills, and more money, than the
one who plants all or nearly all cotton
when the corn crop, by reason OF .anfa-
yorable weather, is short, it can always
be supplemented by sowing "a crop Of
oats during the autumn Or winter.
Most farmers plant SO much cotton,
they have no time to attend to oats
but it is much cheaper to raise corn and
oats than to buy them, as the present
high prices abundantly prove. we
have preached this doctrine for q long
time. and most of onr farmers are nc
doubt convinced Of the truth Of it; but
thew are 30 welded to cotton that they
cannot give it up. A few more failures
of the corn crop in the West and the
consequent high prices would Do more
70 correct the evil than all the preaching
of the newspapers. When the cotton
eron viii not bring enough money to
buy bread and meat; and the mer-
chants refuse to advance bread and
meat on promises, then our farmers will
become prosperous. "

The proprietors of that immensely pop

has so literally patronized them, have
prepared liquid preparation of that
remedy for the special accommodation
of those who from any reason dislike
to prepare it for themselves. 1t is very
concentrated and, as the dose is small,
it is more easily taken by many. 1t has

The Monroe Bulletin, commenting on
the resolutions of the meeting held at
Columbia in Caldwell parish, which de-
clared there were $4,000 destitute geo.
pie in a starving condition in certain
parishes of North Louisiana, including
Ouachita, says:
We do not publish the resolutions
because we do not believe that any such
condition of affairs exists in any portion
of Ouachita parish.
The overfowed parishes are sorely
distressed and no doubt need all the
assistance that can be offered them.
The mast was a complete failure and
hogs have died in great numbers be-
cause their owners feitit to their inte-
rest to neglect them and save their
working stock.
The crops were fearfully short, the
prospect required economy, and al
though many persons may be painfully
apprehensive of the future, there is yet
no such thing among us as restitution:

curtain rose in the presentation OF a
beautiful three act drama entitled the
"Gypsy's Warning" from the old and
popular songs of 'fGypsy's Warning"
and it's reply. While, between acts, the
orchestra yielded ravishing strains OF
music, this truly dramatic combination
headedjby H. L. Seymour and assisted oy
Miss Emma Seymourand others, held the
house spell bound in their rendition OF
this most popular play. The closing
farce was, as a matter of fact, immense,

might not go amiss. Many noted physi-

fore making grants of this kind. He had hoped
that the special committee would have returned
a report on this matter.
Hon. Mr.. Nawahi agreed with the Hon. Mr..
Bishop that the school was one of the oldest and
best, nearly all the missionaries to the Microne-
sian islands, from Hawai-, had been educated
there. If the members of the Assembly should
visit the school to-day they would find that the
building was in almost an unsafe condition, hav-
ing been built in 1854, and was therefore quite
an old building. The amount asked for was in
tended to put the building in proper condition
and also to cover other necessary expenses.
Hon. Mr.. Godfrey Rhodes stated that he was
anxious to facilitate education, and was most
DESTROYS to have all Hawaiian youths thoroughly
educated, so that each and every one of them
could become good citizens. Hon. Noble
Bishop had Just told the Assembly that the
school was a denominations one, it, therefore,
was hardly within the province of the Assembly
to spend any money on IT. He knew OF another
school which stood much in need of assistance,
the projectors and assistants of which had done
q great deal with but little assistance he re-
ferred to the school established and under the
management of Father Clement. Land had
been bought, and a fine brick building was in
course of erection, which would be used for
the purpose of educating the young Hawaiians.
The money for these investments had been
obtained by Father Clement outside of
Government assistance, and the services
were rendered gratuitously. He moved an
amendment to the motion of the. Hon. mem
Der for Hilo, viz: ''that the sum of So, 900 be in
serted in the Appropriation Bill for the purpose
of assisting the two schools, the Hilo Boarding
School and Father Clements school"
Although properly seconded, the amendment
was not put, and the original motion of $4,000
for the Hilo school, was inserted in the bill.

On re-assembling at ? p. m. the Committee
