The news from the Davis Gre
vase is not encouraging. The wa
ter alrearsto have washed two out
let's of great depth, whilst doubts
are entertained that the Mississip
pi river will not fall sufficiently to
stop the water from flowing
through.
Of course. this in~terferes with All
early commencement of any effort
to close this breach which is un
doubtedly the worst n that has
ever taken place in the Mississippi
river. Inthe meantime the Morgan
railroad is in operation because Its
directors took time by the foreIock
and elevated the road upon piles,
before the river fell.
The Pacific road transfers all
passengers via Baton Rouge and
the Mississippi Valley road, Oh the
East bank of the river, but to NOR
row will resume itsregular business
having elevated its road bed above
the water also.

We understand that a branch of
the sugar planters association will
be organized in Thibodaux during
the present month.
This is . step iu the rightdirection.
Once o ganized great deal Of valu
able information can be gathered
that will he useful to the agricnl
tural interest, and by which many
of the mistakes now made can be
corrected.
The cultivation Of sugar has now
become q matter Of GENUINE BUsI-
NESS and will have to be conducted
on the same general principles that
render other industries prosperous
and successful.
1t will have to be carried on with
all the appliances that ecouomy,
close attention, and labor saving
implements can bring to its aid.
An association which will assem-
be planters once o month, where
they eau hear each others views, be
come better acquainted, and learn
to work together for the general
welfa re, IS one great step towards
making the future prosperous aud
certain.
Every PLANTER abould become a
member of this association.

Eas h1onable photographers See More of

''The mania for photographing pets is
at its height" said a Fifth avenue photo
grapher to New York Sun reporter. 81
have had over $500 sittings recently,
mostly Of poodles. Once upon a time man
received some attention from women, but
now the pet dog is lord of creation. He
has his own room, and everything, nearly,
a man is supposed to admire, and luxuries
too good for the lady are not good enough
for the cur. Here are thousands of
photos CT the dogs, and you can see for
yourself, The majority, you see, are SKYE
terriers, with a good following of pugs.
Here is a large mastiff of the late Peter
Cooper, lying at the feet of Mr.. Cooper's
grandson. Do we have trouble in photo
graphing thems Oh, yes; they snap occa-
siOnally, and then the ladies assume the
defensive, and won't let US touch them.
The SpitZes are the ugliest to put in posi-
ton. Here is the picture Of a skye with
eighteen inches of hair. 1t is hard to
catch the eyes Of the Skyes, on account of
their hair; but when caught, as you see
here, they make superb pose.
'SOme ladies dress their pets in fan
tastic manner, like this Spitz, arrayed as
babies and posed for eighteen years, can
be dressed up to initiate any character.
Speaking of cats, here is one that is
valued at the highest figure of any puss
living. He is like black velvet, only his
hair is long and silky. The four paws,
nose. and throat are the purest white.
''Some Of the dogs are so small and
active that it is almost impossible to take
their photos. The ladies give them candy
to keep them quiet. One woman came
here with her dead Skye, and opened its
eyes so that 1t could be Photographed
nicely.
A new craze is now coming into exis-
tence. There is quite a demand on US
for life-size crayons and painting of dogs,
cats, birds, and all kinds Of pets. The
men seldom have photos taken of their
dogs, except prize animals. l am fire.
Guently called out Of the city to photo
graph prize cattle and horses. however
The fact is, pet animals are taking the
place of the baby. If ladies do bring a
baby here to pose they want it taken
naked, and the best attitude can put il
in, as you see, is fiat on its stomach, with
the head and heels UP, like a poodle"

TAR SMOKE FOR DIPHTHERIA.
DIR. DeIthiPs Cure Tried with Success
Upon a New York Patient.

Or. Delth1IS Cure Tried with Success
Upon New York Patient.
Ruth Lockwood, thee year old child of
Thomas Lockwood, a compOsitOr IN the
New York Times Office, became violently
i'll with diphtheria on Tuesday night. She
was so weak that it was deemed danger
Gus to try tracheOtOmy, or cutting open
the windpipe. On Thurday DR.. Nichols,
of liz West Washington place, who was
attending her, received a copy of the Paris
Figaro, which contained a report made to
the French Academy of Medicine by DR..
Delthil. DR.. Delthil said that the Yapors
of liquid tar and turpentine would dis
solve the hbrinOus eXudatiOns which
choke up the throat in Group and diph-
iberia.
DR.. DelthiPs process was described.
He pours equal parts of turpentine and
liquid tar into tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense resinOus
smoke arises, which Obscures the air of
the room.
1.-THE patient" DR.. Delthil says, ''im-
mediately seems to experience relief; the
choking and rattle stop; the patient tails
into a slumber and seems to inhale the
smoke with pleasure. The fibrinous men,
brane soon becomes detached, and the pa
tient coughs up microbicides. These,
when caught in glass, may be seen to
dissolve in the smoke. In the course OF
three days afterward the patient entirely
RECEIVERS"
DR.. Nichols tried this treatment yester-
day with little Ruth Lockwood. She was
lying gasping for breath when he visited
her. First pouring about two tablespoon
fuls of liquefied tar on an iron pan, he
poured as much turpentine over it and
set it on fire. The rich resinous smoke
which rose to the ceiling was by no means
unpleasant. AS it filled the room the
child's breathing became natural, and as
the smoke grew dense she fell asleen.

When onions vigorously chewed.

And plumbers starve TO death;

When things and people everywhere

When maIdeus in the summer time

Where "bgcket-shOps' cannot Intrude
And Jack pot" bloom no more;
