The total amount of revenue received by
the federal government during the same wear
was SI2, l04 ,3i9 and would have amounted
to $50,000,000 but for the reduction of tax by
the last congress.
Tobacco is carried to market either in loose
parcels packed together or pressed in hogs
heads or crates OF diileront sizes The BUYERS
prefer it loose because easier handled and in
spected. 1t comes to the great warehouses of
this city by millions of pounds, and is piled
mn in heaps on the bare floors with its quality
and name of the owner labeled thereon
When sold the name of the buyer, with the
price paid, is marked on the same label and
booked by the clerks at the same moment.
The sales are almost entirely by auction, the
criers being commission merchants, few
planters caring to sell privately to the
small dealers, who pass among the trade
under the name of "pinhookerS," and
pick up small lots now and then, and sell
again to advantage. The sales commence
early in the morning and continue, from one
warehouse to another, until completed or
night comes on. The breaks are sometimes
so large that they are not completed in u day,
and 20 over to the next day. The buyers
begin removing their purchases as soon as
made, by packing them in large baskets
handled by two or three persons, placed in
carts OF drays and conveyed to the factories,
where the process of manufacturing begins,
The machinery for this is not as complicated
by far as that Of most other industries. In
fact ID is very simple and limited, being COM
posed only of hydraulic and steam presses,
retainers, pots, box screws, and "shapes," the
latter giving shape and size to the plugs, and
few other small and plain instruments,
nearly all of which are worked by
hand and not greatly skilled laborers. But

An account is going the rounds
of the European papers regarding
Noah's Ark. It is stated with
suspicious circumstantiality that
while a scientific commission were
investigating the causes Of ava.
lanches on Mount Ararat, they
discovered the original boat in
which our pregenitors escaped the
flood. The size and shape of the
ark are given to correspond with
the Mosaic account, and it is fur
Their stated that the space inside
is divided into stalls as il for cattle.
But when it is further stated that
an American gentleman has rar-
chased the primiA ship for ex-

Mr.. EDIToR.--Names have been
suggested an in6nitum for the
position Of governor ; we have
seen them and whilst others pro-
claimed loudly their choice we
have refrained until this moment,
when the name Of Hon. Henry l..
Garland Of St. Landry is brought
forth. He is q native born of
Louisiana soil and occupies a
high position at the bar ; a man
of deep set convictions, of iron
viii, of unainching determination
in everything that he undertakes.
He has been tried in the field, in
the defense Of southern rights, he
has been tried in our legislative
halls. and other positions, where
the interests of the people were at
stake and never has he been found
wanting, but always true to duty.
Never have | felt as much anxiety
for the welfare Of Louisiana as at
1.-THE present time never more than
now does she need a strong arm
and a stout heart TO watch over
and direct her affairs. | have

his youth, known him we'll and
as true as I do love my native
state ; l know of no one to whom
