The dry weather existing here
this month is unusual for August
and operating injuriously upon the
growing crops.
The plant cane has generally
been satisfactory, but the stubble
are small aud will not give an aver
age yield.
The low water in the Bayou
brings the fatboat in use again,
and will doubtless occasion consi
~derable talk of railroads along the
Lafourche, which talk ceases at
the sound of the first whistle of the
coming steamboat.

The Picayune of last Monday
contained a lengthy article on Gre
notwithstanding Of the deadly
DR.. Felix Fermento. 1t contains
facts that are astounding and al
most convinces one that crema
tiou of the dead should be practis
ed, especially in large cities. There
can be no doubt, that the present
method of disposing Of dead bodies
is the cause of, not only epidemics,
but also Of the cutting short Of
thousand Of lives.
Tho process of cremation does
not consist III burning the body.
Neither fire nor smoke touches it,
It is subjected to I; heat Of 1,50O to
1000 degrees, for about one hour to
the 100 pounds weight of the body
at which time the bones aud. body
crumblei iuto ashes and IA be pla
ced in an urn for sepulture or pre-
servation in any manner. This
method Of putting away the dead
is practised to a great extent in
European countries and is increas
ing constantly all over the civilized
world.
When one sees the condition of
modern cemeteries, inhales the
odor often arising therefrom and
sees what places Of infection, de
cease and death, they actually are,
he cannot help wishing that the
day may soon come when crema
ton will be universal.

specimen of sugar made in Mexico.
It was in loaf cake form.
1t was a dark color, and contain
ed sugar, mo!asses aud a fair share
of Mexican dirt.
Mr.. w. l.. Shaffer was the ex
hibitor who With his venerable ia
ther, 81 years of age, has been
prospecting over Texas, selling the
sugar which they have Oh hand
from last year. This specimen was
manufactured near Laredo, and
was the product of small growers.
The Messrs. Shaffer sold q great
portion Of their crop at prices bet
ter than could be obtained in New
Orleans.
They have been shipping a good
portion of their immense crops to
Texas towns since the war, and find
that they increase their prof
very materially by so doing.

~ g. s IS &NEsra@%E1& N H
An article appeared in the NO,
P'eoyxnc some days ego, that has
caused considerable comment and
anxiety in this Parish. II was in
relation to the Davis crevasse. 1t
was stated that there were deep
gulleys washed out to a depth al.
most, ifnot quite equal 10 that of
the river, and that there were indi.
cations that n bayou was being
made through the fields to the
rear.
The general tenor of the article
led many to believe that it was q
preliminary move against the clos.
ing of said disastrous crevasse.
Rumors that it is the intention
of the board OF Engineers to evade,
if possible, the stopping Of this
breach, have been current around
here for some days also. Whilst
we do not place much faith in the
correctness of those rumors the in
tention of the engineers should be
made known and promptly.
The Davis crevasse MUST BE
CLOSED. Nc matter what may be
the cost, nor how difficult the
work may prove the breach MUST
BE STOPPED.
One fourth of the sugar growing
lands and one thousand families re
siding In the rear of plantations
cannot be abandoned to destruc-
ton.
Soundin.s could certainly be
made at present and the lines indi-
Gated upon which the new levee
could be constructed.
1t is strange, at least. ifthe Plea
yuae's account be correct, how both
pilings without discovering these
new forming bayous.
The DAVIS CREVASSE MUST BE
CLOSED.

st. Paul Live Stock.

There has been fair demand for butchers
stock the past week and more inferior rough
stuff has been sold, doubtless to compete with
the slaughtered stays, bulls, old cows, and the
like shipped up from below, the honest butcher
here thinking it better to kill healthy animals
although not quite so prime as they would like
than TO purchase the i'll looking carcases Of they
know not what-diseased, big jawed, liberated
it may be, for all they can tell. In connection
with this matter it may be stated that there IS
