Last years mineral output from the Utah
mines exceeded 10000, 900, valued at New
York rates.
1t is reported on excellent authority that a
sale of 1000, 900 pounds of ingot copper has
recently been made iBthe New York market
at Is cents.
During the past week 266 deaths. .2S9 births,
and 107 marriages were recorded at the
Brooklyn, n. Y. Board of Health office.
The emigration to this country last year
numbered 735, 900 persons, exclusive of Oscar
Wilde, Tug Wilson, Mrs. Langtry and Herr
Most.
Boston's exgorts last year were worth ST.
1896. Her imports amounted to s72, ,5l6,-

There are 907S stores in Chicago, 697l fac
tories, and 938 mixed establishments. They
employ. all told, l66,676 persons.
Several bags of cloves shipped from Zan-
zibar to London were found to contain
heavy percentage OF artificial cloves neatly
manufactured by machinery. They were
made of pine, stained dark color, and had
been soaked in an essence of the spice to give
them the required odor. The ingenuity dis
played rivals that of the Connecticut man,
who, half a century ago, peddled out wooden
cucumber seeds among Pennsylvania farmers.

If there is anything in name, and
having enough of it, boy ought to
learn all that can be learned at the
Louisiana State University and Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College, But
when a young man gets through there
about the last thing he wants to take to
is agricultural or some mechanical oc-
cupation. A gentleman who used to
be a planter, and quit the business
probably for good reasons, has recently
been elected Professor of Agriculture !;
he no doubt knows how to talk agri-
culture like aabook, but the way to in
still sound practical agriculture in a
boy is to put him on farm under some
successful, practical planter like Capt.
Montgomery of this parish. Louisiana
boys don't go to school to learn farm
ing they do SO to learn something that
will enable them to escape farming,
and it is a humbug and swindle to
tax the farmers Of the State to support
a highfalutin agricultural institution.

Many young girls are unfit for active
life, aud thousands Of mothers drag out
a miserable existence on account of
peculiar female weakness which they
absolutely refuse to cure. They are
full OF aches and pains, are poor, weak,
frail creatures irregular each month
with pale faces, glazing eyes, shattered
nerves, and almost worn out constitu-
tons. A powerful combination has
been prepared by the medical profess
sion, for the cure Of these serious fe-
male complaints, and it's action is pro-
nounced wonderful. 1t is known as DIR.

Who ever heard OF wild ducks being
| slaughtered with sticks? We have,
and in such way that we are bound to
believe it. While recently on a shoot
| ing trip in Calcasieu parish, a person
made the statement that he had known
wild ducks to be killed with sticks, on
the Grand Chenier, an island bordering
on the Mermenteau river, and surround
ed by sea marsh. The marshes were
filled with weeds or rushes, and these
were covered with tie-vines, species
of vetch, on the seeds Of which the
ducks feed but the vines were so thick
as to be 1mpenetrable except at certain
places OF small holes where the ducks
entered. The duck killer approached
one of these entrances, with stick of
convenient size and length, and give a
yell. The noise would cause the ducks
to rush out pell-mell, when he would
get in his work Of obstruction. This
was during the war, when there was not
much hunting or shooting, and amuni-
milton scarcely to be had. We laughed
at this statement as a good hunters
.yarn;" but the following evening two
strangers stopped to stay all night, and
we mentioned this yarn. One of them
said that he had no doubt of it's truth,
for he had done the same thing him
self, when he was a boy, during the
war, near Leesburg now in Cameron
parish. The conditions we're the same.
and be and another boy, in few min
utes, Stayed sixty-four mallard ducks.

Mardi-.Gras.

On this day here the weather was
clear and pleasant afording the very
best chance for the young folks to en-
joy themselves in parading the streets,
and they did it beyond doubt. Ow-
ing to preparations then going on for
Steam Fire Company's grand calico
ball to come off that night, there were
not as many grown people in mask on
the streets, but the little folks were out
in full force-from two-year-olds up.
There were, however, a few of the more
stylish class of grown "Mardi Gras,"
the "plug-hat turn out" for instance
that took in the whole street at roll
and others who showed themselves so
often between Court and Main streets.
At any rate all the fun was had in an
orderly way and.we can only account for
their very good behavior by supposing
that Bridget Dohahue" was again in
the lead. The Mardi-Gras celebration
was concluded that night by Steam Fire
Company's Grand Calico Ball which
christened the new building recently
erected by Messrs. j. & A. Perrodin on
north Main street. At an early hour,
the hall, which is some eighty feet long
and thirty feet in width, was graced by
the largest crowd of good looking men
and pretty women it has been our pleas
ure to see assembled in many years
past. The house was we'll lighted, and
as the dancers moved off to the music |
Of Prof. Mayors Excelsior String Band
we came very near risking the awk-
wardness of a ten years vacation by |
putting our foot in it; but through the
deep and genuine respect we had ac-
CURED for the many pretty girls we
were talking to we could not under the
spare the time. The
house was well supplied with refresh
ments such as beer, champagne punch,
gumbo, cakes, ETC., all of which went
very far toward making the man happy
who wouldn't dance. Everything went
well until after 2 o'clock, when the
party assembled dispersed for home real

time, but that each had contributed a
mite toward helping to make upa good

A rich joke has been told us recently
by retired minister in our midst. 1t
seems that there was in this locality a
bachelor presiding elder who has since
married in North Louisiana and is the
happy father of bouncing baby. The
change of circumstances causes him to
keep thermometer by his side in bed
in order to regulate the temperature for
the child.

There is scarcely street in town on
which there is not some kind Of i'm
proyement going on. Mr.. George Pull
ford is building a cottage a la mode back
of Prof. Daniels, which from its sym
metric proportions bids fair to compare
favorably with the heighth Of ingenuity
in that line. Mr.. Joseph Bloch has also
built neat cottage on his premises,
which together with other improve
ments in our. midst speaks well for
the thrift and enterprise Of our people.
Aside from this, we hear of great
deal Of Improvement in progress In the
country. Capt. Garland, for instance,
has built ten or eleven new cabins on
the Ulrich plantation. Other works
Of Improvement are going on which we
will not fail to notice at the proper
time.
