The weather, for the past week, has
been unexceptionably fine for planting
operations, and large quantity of
land has been planted in corn, and
some planters have put in part of their
cotton seed. The ground has been
cold, but there has been no other seri-
GUS drawback attributable to the season
The prospect is not unfavorable for the
industrious, energetic planter anywhere
in this part of the State, except where
the land has been overlooked, and
even in such lands the prospect is not
near so bad as last year at this time.

JAY GOULD'S YACHT.

Jay Gould's yacht, now building in
Philadelphia, is 225 feet long and 2O5
feet at the water line, with a twenty
six-foot beam. 1t will draw about
fifteen feet of wafer. The cabins will
be situated in the forward part of the
boat, and the crews quarters will be
aft, after the model of James G. Ben
nett's yacht. The cabins and state
rooms will be ventilated by an i'm.
proved steam fan. The floors of the
state-rooms are to be finished in hard
and fancy woods, with porcelain bath
tubs under them, the floors being
movable. The upper woodwork of
the state-rooms will consist of satin
wood, French walnut and mahogany,
inlaid with various designs. There
will be additional accommodations for
thirty officers and men, and room to
carry coal sufficient for trip OF eighteen
days duration. 1t is estimated that
the yacht will cost 100000.

The election of city cotton weigher,
to succeed the late l.. w. Surghn or.
will come before the City Council
Monday night next.
There are q number OF contestants
for this renumerative and coveted DOS.
ition, among them, the son of our de.
ceased weigher, who is, from exper.
fence, we'll qualified TO fulfill this re-
sponsible position.
We have no especial choice, how.
ever, but we think it would be a Just
tribute to the memory of the deceased
father, to elect his son as his successor
AT least until another city admins

The Railroad.

The overflow is receding along the
line of the railroad at the rate of two
and a-half inches in 24 hours.
Mr.. Preston, roadmaster, informs us
that through trains to the Mississippi
will hardly be resumed before the Goth
proximo. The road has suffered no
damage which cannot be readily re-
paired.
The deepest cut on the line west to
Shreveport has been completed. 1t
measures 10 feet, and is located on the
34th section. This section, the heav-
lest on the extension to Shreveport,
calls for $4,000 yards of earthwork.
The collection Of cross-ties is going on
speedily, and we look for track-layine
to begin soon:
Several suits are pending before the
District Court, brought by employees
and contractors against the railroad
company, none of which have been
decided. The amounts involved are
not largein any one case.
We copy the following paragraph
from the Vienna Sentinel of Thursday
last
The latest railroad news is to the eff
efct that trains will be running to Russ
ton within the next four months. We
would be glad to know to reasonable
certainty that such will prove true. We
sincerely hope it will, but refrain from
an expression of opinion on the subject.
We are glad to report the work on the
road to be progressing more favorably
than at any time since it was begun.
With an open spring and pleasant
summer there is no telling what pro-
gress may be made. The next thin e
in order is the location of the tow n
south of this place.

The protracted meeting which has
been in progress for several days at
Hasley Baptist Church in this city has
resulted in twenty accesssions to that
church. The services Monday night,
when eight converts were immersed,
were very impressive, and Were at
tended by a large number of people,
many not being able to find seats. The
Rev. Mr.. Mason, the pastor of the
church, is not only an efficient worker
in his own denomination, but worthy
citizen and a popular minister.

There were quite a number of In

this week. These Indians reside in the
Hickory Flat settlement in this parish
Eight of their number had come to
make the final proof OF their homestead
entries aud the Others had accompani-
ed them as witnesses. But from their
color and strange attire they could not
have been distinguished from any other
citizens; they behaved very quietly and
manifested high degree of civiliza-
ton. They belong to the Alabama
tribe.-LuEe Charles Commercial.

District Court.

The District Court, Judge Richardson
presiding, convened last Monday at
keller's Hall. There was full at
tendance of the local Bar, but the only
visiting attorney was Capt. E. Z. Kidd,
of Vernon, who was called here to aid
the prosecution in the case of the State
VS.. l.. ID. McLain.
The following jurors were drawn and
sworn to serve as grand jurors during
the term:
Walter S. Logan, foreman; J. NJ.
Breard, All May, j. Harvey, H. Meyer,
a. Levy, j. S. Richardson, c., Isaac
Cowden, r. Thornton, c., 7. Naughton,
Jr., j. B. H. Simpson, A. Watkins, d.
Green, G. w. Woodall, l.. Avery, c.,
l.. Kern.
The Grand Jury will not conclude its
labors, probably before early next week.
AS usual, I'VE suppose, there are a number
OF tritiing cases to be investigated. No
bills have been returned. The cases of
the State VS.. McLain, and of the State
VS.. Musons are the only important
cases known to us as coming for the
Grand Jury for inquiry-both for
homicide.
The State docket will not he taken
up until week after next.
The names of the jurors drawn for
next week and the week following are
annexed:

The use of the polariscope in the
grading of sugars is thus explained by
New Orleans customhousc official:
a sample of sugar is thoroughly
mixed, after which certain quantity
is accurately weighed, according to the
standard Of the polariscope-usuaily
13.02f grams and made into aSoiuttOn.
This is placed in what Is known as q
so cubic centimetre flask (if 1904 grams
is the quantity of sugar used). From
20 to GO drops Of sub acetate of lead is
added, drop by drop, to clear the So
luton of all precipitate. The flask is
then filed to within a-half inch of the
neck with distilled water. : It is then
filtered through bone black or ether,
placed in the observation tube, and IS
then ready for the polariscope. When
the colors are equalized (Which Is as
certained by manipulating, the teles-
cope attached to the polartscopsl, the
percentage can be read on the Vernier
scale. The moisture Is then. deter
mined by Weighing Ave grains of the
sugar placed in small porcelau dish
provided especially for that purpose.
Theyexact weight having ffst been as
certained, this is then placed In what
is known as swater bath, /" and heated
at q boiling point for one hour. It Is
then again weighed, and the loss in
weight represents the moisture In the
quantity of sugar tested. 2Es-r
