I1I.-HOW FERMILION TOLD IT.
What vermilion told me belongs in
the story, but it was more than a year
| after when first saw Vermilion. ,
Vermilion's real name was Chic. In
the Apache language Chic means ''ver!
milion.' '@e'. e.
/ had gone to Arizona to look after
some mining property-or rather some
Spanish land grants-which had been
left to my nieces, the two Hermance
girls, by the death OF Mr.. Stephen Coch-
ran. Colonel McDavitt, who knows all
about mines, had agreed to go with me,
| and so we had come to Prescott togeth-
er. had informed myself as well as /
could about the titles to the girls lands,
and as to the geography, where they
were, or at least where they ought to be !;
and we were about to start, with one or
two young men who had joined US for
the adventure, when, of sudden, Col
onel McDavitt was recalled to Bangor.
There came a telegram to say that his
Oldest boy had violent attack of diph-
liberia, and it was thought he would not
live. ,;a=a7.. ...s-
This changed all my plans. The Col
onel and his nephew went to the East.
A young chemist or assayer whom had
relied on did not care to go so far among
savages alone, and found that was to
be the whole of the party-poor /, who
had no experience in wildernesses or in
campaigning. ~a s,f .sf ~. 4..;.. ,
So went to Governor Fremont, and
told him my story. lat T." /
1t proved that things were not so bad
as I feared. The Governor gave me an
introduction to the United States officer
who commanded our force in Arizona,
and said he would know who was going
toward the Chiquito country, If anybody
was, and whether there were any chance
of escort. rs 55is astai,tos.,s Us +. s5-,E.sf,.. +
And so it proved that Colonel Nc
Davitt's recall helped me to very
pleasant experience. = 1t was that which
introduced me to Vermilion. ssi =. & /.
For the Colonel said at once, when /
told my sad tale, that it was all right,
that he had only the day before given
Vermilion a furlough that he. might
spend two or three weeks with his
friends, and he sent an orderly for YER
million, to see if he could not go my
way.
In a very few minutes Vermilion ap-
peared himself. From the first I was
pleased with him, nor had I ever to
change my opinion. He was fully six
feet high, well-proportioned, with large
dark eyes, hair straight and perfectly
black, and long, so as to cover the col
lar of his jacket. ~ s..1.st. :,
To my surprise, there was no paint
upon Vermilion. He wore the blue

ETC.

ETC.
st. Tammany parish is located
twenty-five miles north of New Or
leans. CovingtoL, the county site,
is ten miles further north, in the
interior, and is delightfully."- located
on the Bogue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with q small amount of capital and
a fair supply of industry and perse-
vsrance, cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. The eli
mate is as fine as any in the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely falls. Spring opens
early in February, with blossoms
On the peach and ounce trees, and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat of summer is moderate,
and the unfailing breezes of the
evening refresh man and beast after
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn. rice, peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges. pears, peach, plums,
ounces, figs and pecans thrive well.
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tammany
the slock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying from 81 to IS per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers
WATER POWER.
There is an abundance, of water
power, already improved, inviting
the attention of manufacturers. We
have no doubt small factory, such
as already abound in Alabama and
Georgia, for the purpose of con-
verting our cotton crop into yarn,
would prove "a paying Investment.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance. as we'll as
CLAWS suitable for pottery ware of
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free from sand or grit. Per-
sons having a practical knowledge
of such business would soon realize
fortune in manufacturing and
shipping such wares to the New
| Orleans market.
MANUFACTURE OF GLASS
Sand suitable for the manufacture
of glass is also abundant all along
the banks of the Bogue Falia, above
the town of Covington. 1t has been
practically tested by Pittsburg
manufacturers, and found to con-
tain all the necessary properties to
produce the finest glassware.
CONVICTION,
the county site, contains about
eight hundred inhabitants, and is
the best business point in the par
ish, commanding much of the trade
of both st. Tammany and Washing
ton parishes. The mail from New
Orleans arrives three times a week.
per steamer New Camelia, and
there is some talk Of building a
telegraph line.
At present there is no mill or
mandatory of any kind in Coving-
ton. Building sites for marufac-
turing purposes can be had on the
most favorable terms, and every
facility will be offered for imml-
grants to this parish.
To all honest and industrious i'm
migrants who may wish to settle in
st. Tammauy, hearty welcome is
extended and protection guaranteed
in their respective occupations.

rum mixed with flouer in the proper

using one tablespoonful of Pyrethrum
to twenty gallons of water. In five
minutes all the larvs we're on their
backs, nor did any of them recover.
A large number of caterpillars On the
cabbage plants we're sprinkled or dust
ed with Pyrethrum, the proportion be-
ing the same as above. In one hour
the plants were examined and in every
case the caterpillars were dead"
Prof. Henry, of our State University,
recommends it as wonderful insecti-
eide, and give directions for use:
mix the powder with twenty times
its bulk Of flower, letting it stand over
night before using, or mix with cold
water and apply with a sprinkler. Prof.
Cook, of the Michigan Agricultural
college, found that one pound of the
powder was effective in two hundred
gallons of water, when applied for killing
the cabbage worm. The powder must
touch the insect to be effective, and
loses its value if left long exposed. Its
power is due to volatile oil. If used
intelligently, it is a wonderful insecti-
eide. My wife uses it for killing house
flies, moths, ETC., with entire satisfac
ton"
1t has been suggested that Pyre-
thrum should be cultivated in
our garden, SO as to lessen the
expense. 1t is questionable if the
plant grown away from its native soil
would contain sufficient of essential oil
TO make it Of any value as an insec-
ticide. Experiments with our native
plants, such az feverfew, may-wced,
ox.eyed daisy, and other plants, may
prove more profitable than to attempt
the cultivation of plants removed from
their native warm climate. The genuine
Persian insect powder, as used in the
tropics by missionaries and other
writers, does not loose its potency by
long deeping. A missionary that has
been stationed in Turkey, informs us
that after keeping it in his possession
four years it produced the same salts

A writer in the Nationd! Farmer says
"Among the most affective applica-
tions that l have ever known to keep
bugs of of vines is tar-water. Stir coal
tar in a vessel of water, let it stand over
night till the water is scented and
colored with the coaltar; then, morn
ing, noon, and evening, or as often
as convenient, go and sprinkle the vines
and hill with the liquid; it will both
keep the bugs away and make the
plants grow more vigorously, being n
good stimulant to such plants. Sprink-
ling the ground freely over the hill will
almost wholly kill or keep away the
cut-worms and grubs. Very freely APP
piled it does much to kill of the potato
beetle, which is SO destructive in some
localities.
