THE LETTER 1 SENT HIM.

TIGER BEND, La, Jan. 10th, 1852.
Mr.. D. H..
Pear Sir-your letter of late date re-
cefved by me, and read carefully. In
answer, to your many and varied inqui-2
ries. I must say that southern Loui-
siana is paradise. in fact it is generally
believed that the famous garden OF
Eden was located somewhere in the
south part of this State. y
Our late call legislature believed this
theory SO much that they passed joint
resolutions in both houses to have the
matter investigated indeed they passed
much mooted and notify question should
he settled at present; hence the Cover
nor has ordered out the State Engineer
Corps and Geologist tO make surveys
and il posable locate the long lost gar
den. As now write dispatch just re-
ceived, says that several large forces
are at work in the coast parishes max
ing excavations under the able
supervision of the State Engineers in
search for the long lost garden. must
tell You farther, Mr.. D. that at our late
call session Of the legislature vast
amount OF business was done. We
have the finest body. of troops in the
| world and they are provided Tor too.
There is nothing mean in this State.
We go the whole. hog. Our troops are
all Major Generals. The fact is all the
officers in this State rank as Major
Generals. Now amt that nice Let
me tell you our troops have. elegant
quarters, feather beds to sleep on.
When on duty they have servents to
carry their arms. All our troops do is
| to eat good rations, take excursions, go
| to mic hicks and the like. Sometimes
they give a grand ball but the COVER
),nor does not like for them to dance
much, he fears that it taxes their ener-
gies too largely. So they won't show
off SO well on dress parade when they
have it.
You might get place in the brigade.
| Tt is very easy life, and one am told
| that pays well.
We do muchly of other work.
| Our late legislature decided that it
would be good idea to wall the State
| in: that is, build a brick wall twenty
six feet high and thirty feet thick all
around the State. You see we have
! lots Of money and don't owe much. SO
our wise men at the head OF affairs de-
cided that it would be a wholesome

this wall built at once. The only diff

are a unit and fIvoI annexation at the
earliest possible period. Indeed we
are not aware that it mce,s with dis
favor anywhere in ths Territory. The
southern counties Of Idaho oppose an

position deliberately tear that important

Of goodness are you doing?" he exclaim-
ed. Don't you know that it will take
full three years before you can legally
expect to obtain duplicate receipt?''

original was the reply. The gentle

A Southern Cure for sunstroke.

So soon as you reach your patient take
hold of him or her and carry or drag
him or her into the shade. Place the
body in sitting posture, the back
against wall, with the feet and legs
resting upon the sidewalk and extend
ing in front Of the body. Get ice-water
and bottle of some strong essence of
ginger. Pour the ice-water over the
head copiously; never mind the clothes.
Then pour two or three tablespoonful
of ginger in about half tumbler of wa.
ter and make the patient swallow it
quickly. Keep the head cool by using .
little Of the ice-water, and in case there
is not much of a glow upon the body
give more ginger. If this recipe is
promptly used and fully carried out in
every case the Board of Health will
never have death TO record from this
cause. It is no experiment or quack
remedy. 1t costs but few cents and q
half-hour or an hours time. Ginger is
by far the best to use, but where It can
not be had quickly two or three good
drinks of brandy will answer.-NeV Or

Whore Buttons Come From.

The button trade Of New York is es-
timated at from eight to enmillion dol
lars . year. The yearly importation Of
Duttons exceeds three and q half million
dollars. At American rate Of wages
many Of the imported buttons could
not be put upon. the cards for the price
they sell for. Glass buttons are mado
mostly in Bohemia, and children are
largely employed at the work, which
they do as quickly and as neatly as
adults. The children get ten cents q
day, men from forty to fifty cents, and
the women little less. Pearl buttons
are imported from Vienna, where they
are almost exclusively manufactured:
and the all-imported shirt button are re-
ceiyed mostly from Birmingham, Eng
land, where the majority of metal but
tons are likewise produced. The most
extensive of all the button manufactur-
ing, however, is that of the Partisan and
Berlin novelties. In one manufacturing
village near Paris, where there are from
five thousand to six thousand inhabi-
tants, all the working people are en-
gagged in making the agate button,
which, even, with the thirty per cent.
added to the cost, sell, when imported
into this country, at the extremely low
figure of thirty cents per great gross.
The material alone, it is reported, could
not be produced here for double that
amount.
While American manufacturers make
no attempt, and probably have no de-
sire, to compete with Europe producers
employing processes, they excel in max
ing bone. composition, brass. ivory and
gold buttons by machinery, and are
able to export considerable quantities Of
these styles. In Providence, r. l., for
example, sleeve buttons and jewelry
buttons are largely manufactured for
expectation.

A Nose Story.
Talking of noses,'' said the dentist,
II was reminded of q curious freak of
nature this morning. A boy nine years
of age was sent here by his mother to
have tooth pulled. That child has the
largest nose I have ever seen on a hui
man countenance. 1t is almost as bic
as my fist. His mother and father were
both patients Of my father One day
the old gentleman came down to the
Office and found a man and woman
awaiting his professional attendance.
Each had a three-cornered black patch
of sticking-plaster in the middle Of the
face, denoting the absence of a nose.
They were complete strangers to each
other. My father took the necessary
plaster casts and told them to call on
the following day. They did and again
came together; but this time it was very
evident they were acquainted. Subse-
quent visits clearly proved them to have
become intimate, and on the day my
father fitted the pair with noses, they
walked off arln-in-arm on the sunny
side of the way, proudly conscious Of
restored beauty. Three weeks after
ward they were married. The boy who
came this morning is their only child.
He is perfectly healthy, and his enor-
nous proboscis is regarded with intense
appreciation by his artiticially- beaked
progenitors.' philadelphia Times.
