FRIEND LINDEN:
III accordance with my promise I now
proceed to inform you in regard to the
opening aud successful progress of the
campaign in the stronghold Of our Arab
P;lsha.
By Saturdays Texas train Messrs.
Drnry, Allain, Cage and Stewart arrived
aud have since been trinnsphantly n"r
turing one Egyptian line after another.
They were met by Beattie's ennis
saries at Terrebonne Station and warned
to return, as they would not have any
body to hear them-all Lafourche be-
longing to Beattie in fee simple.
On the same evening the champions
of the Republican nominee addressed 200
| voters in Arabi's own capital and enroll
ed Kellogg club Of Sc members.
Sunday evening Beattie's strikers were
crushed in joint discussion at Brnle Lane
aud last night Laurel Valley, Collins,
| and fuckers were taken by storm at the
| point of the bayonet and in spite Of the
most determined opposition.
Every dirty means has been taken to
| prevent the voters from hearing oar
| speakers, but all has been in vain, and
| LAFoURCIIE WILL BE CARRIED.
! Drury says he has come to stay and
will go
FROM ATLANTA TO THE SEA.

friend the CHIEF. TOUT ANGUS.
September 20, 1882.
| A brilliant flank movement was ex-
ecuted last night by the Republican
campaigners on Terrebonne Station,
which has been considered Beattie's
stronghold in Terrebopne. The locality
heretofore unanimously for Beattie, an
where nosupporter Of the regular nominee
had previ ously been allowed tospeak, was
taken by storm, Cage and Stewart max
ing one OF the noblest efforts of their
| lives. Beatties Thibotlcaux mob, which
| was in attendance as usual, did not dare
to respond, although repeatedly ch:,l-
| lenged to do SO. Beattie speaks there
| to-day and will learn Of something not
entirely to his advantage.
Gen. Drury will advance down the
bayou tonight and will not stop until
he has hewn his way to the Gulf o1
Mexico. To judge from present indiea-
tions, Beattieism and bossism will be
dead OH the bayon in less than ten days.
| TOUT A yOus.
1t has been found that the presence OF
silica is not essential to plant growth,
but that it may serve valuable purposes
is shown by the researches Of Wolff. At
ter fourteen years Of experiment OH the
oat plant, this observer concludes that
silica aids in the sipening Of grain by
causing the early death Of the leaves,
which is followed by a passage of their
nutritive matters to the seeds. Thus III
an experiment without silica 80 seeds
we're produced with little silica, 80
seeds; with much silica, lSi seeds. Sill
lea also tends to prevent the absorption,
by plants Of superauous quantities o1
essential mineral matter, thus keeping
the suil from unnecessary exhaustion.
