a GENTLEMAN told rs once, in all
seriousness, that he had invented a
gun or cannon which would shoot a
very fine and strong wiIc any number
Of hundreds of yards in length, and
that it could, and was intended to be,
utilized in checking a charge of cav
airy on the battlefield. The horses
would become entangled in the wire,
fall, throw their riders, and the cav
alsymen would be captured. He Also
thought infantry soldiers could be
tangled up the same way and captur-
ed. 1t is true the gentleman was
drinking, little, at the time he made
the invention, and when he told US of
it, and we had forgotten al about it,
until in reading the following it came
to mind: "a German chemist has
invented a new kind of bullet which,
he urges will, if brought INTO general
use, greatly diminish, if not altogether
remove, the horrors Of war. The bull
let is, of a brittle substance, breaking
directly it comes in contact with
the object at which it is aimed.
1t contains powerful an@sthetic,
producing instantaneousIy complete
insensibility, lasting for twelve hours,
which, except that the action Of the
heart continues, is not to be distin-
guisbed from death. A battlefield
where these bullets are used will in a
short time be apparently covered with
dead bodies, but in reality merely
with tho PROSTATE forms of soldiers
reduced for the time being to a state
of Inconsistencies. While in this
condition they may, the German chem
list points out, be carefully packed in
ambulance wagons and carried off as
prisoners. Whole cities may in like
manneribe reduced to helplessness by
means Of shells charged with the same
compound. The an9sthetic bullet is
also strongly recommended TO the
burglar and to the householder, no
risk Of hanging being inyolyediby its

FRoMa conversations had with good

conclusion that this is going to be 4

performed bis duty towards as, and
there seems to be a spirit Of determi-
nation abroad among the people to do
their part. Very few people are idly
resting on their oars, waiting for
something to turn up, but have gone
to work turning something up and that
something is the soil. They realize
that this far land was made fer some
purpose and that purpose was that it
might be cultivated. They also realize
that they were placed here to cultivate
it. All this land us is adapted
10 the growing Of something that will
provide us and those dependent upon
us with the necessaries Of life. If it
will not grow sugar-cane it will pro-
dHce rice, or something else equally
as profitable. Strangers from other
states are pouring into this portion Of
Louisiana in such numbers as was
never known before. The. come with
plenty Of energy and pluck, brawny
arms and some capital. They are sur
priscd to see such land lying idle and
have set our sasy=goiDg population an
example which VIC are glad to see is
contagious. Where one acre was
planted inrice last year there is every
indication 10 believe ten will be this
year planted. 1t is true, that the
lumber interest has always been Of
paramount Importance in this section
of Louisiana; oprtimbered regions are
grand in proportion, We make the best
lumber in the world, and it brings
wealth to us, bat all cannot engage il
that, aud.wc are glad that the agri-
cultural interest is not to he neglected
this year, aud perhaps no more for
ever. Nothing. comparatively, has
ever been done t. induce immigration
