"EIia" and Charles Lamb.

A unique genius, that of Charles
Lamb Just like nothing that ever ap-
peared before them, or has since ap-
peared, are the quaint and delightful
Essays of Elia," new edition of which
has recently been issued by Alden,
'sThe Literary Revolution" publisher
of New York. Turn to any of your
cyclopedas and they will tell you that
Charles Lamb was one of the most
charming essayists that the English
language has ever known, and also that
his Essays of Ella" are the choicest of
his works They are not merely the
first work of their class, but, like "Pil
grim's Progress and ''Robinson Cru
soe," they constitute u class by them
selves. The volume is certainly one
of the most delightful of the books de-
scribed in Mr. Alden's 14S-page illus
trated catalogue, which he offers to
send for cents, or the l6 page cata-
logue which is sent free. Address,
John B. Alden, Publisher, New York

HAAsvILLE, La, Dec. 81, 1885.
Editors COURIER:
The weather has been excellent for
some time, except now and then IA
short cold snap. The sugar planters
have. succeeded beyond all expectation.
The cane as a rule has turned out well
making on some places as high as four
hogsheads per acre. All the sugar mills
in this parish are through, or about
through grinding. The sugar season
has been delightful, there being little
or no bad weather and bnt few break
downs The sugar planters have
rounded mp nicely.
The cotton crop, though somewhat
damaged during the fruiting season by
rain and worms, has panned ont to be
fairly good crop; but, as we heard an
old farmer express himself the other
day, "Well, sakes alive, how kin man
raise cotton fOf seven cents Il pound z"
Going on, he said: It's up bill busi
ness, a regular drag, bare pinched
living, with nary red cent to lay by"
We whispered in his car, that there
was but one hope left for him, that was,
to have his smoke house and corn-crib
at home, aud not in Chicago; then
there might be some possible hope for
laying up both "red' and white
.'cents = Dyes tie old farmer ''lowed
that was regular old time logic )" for
one he ssintended to move back to it,,
and live at home."
The railroads on this side of the Fa-
ther of waters, it seems, don't take
much stock in the Exposition now
opened in New Orleans. If they did,
passably only. they might reduce the
rates to two cents pei mile, and give
the Workingmen, hard-worked farmers
and mechanics an opportunity to see
aud enjoy the exhibit. But we are in
the clutches of those giant monopolies
that show no mercy to the toilers of the
country that support them.
Some of our energetic planters have
turned over many acres of land prepara-
tory for the next years crops; others
are fencing and ditching; all seem to be
hopeful
Corr is selling at fifty cents per
bnsllel--We mean that some OF the col.
ored population is selling and bartering
!Soan iti iHuC PtiAOt ou tisS WIN
the good industrious farmer knows the
worth of corn and keeps it, OF if he has
if for sale gets the best price.
Sweet potatoes and turnins are plen-
tiful aud fairly cheap. A few ducks
have been offei ed by our sportsmen at
ten and fifteen cents a piece. Birds
seem to be scarce in this locality this
season.
A late letter from our young friend
w ID Haas, at Jefferson Medical Col
lege, Philadelphia, tells us that DR..
John Haas of ST. Landry, arrived in
the Quaker City" few days past to
resume his professional studies and at
tend term of lectures ut the said coll
lege. Let us hope for the young men
brilliant future.
As we now close this letter, we wish
for the editors and Courier staff mer-
ry Christmas and all the turkey, and
enough of other good things to crush
their table down with their weight.

Enterprise and it's Results.

The following appears in the agricul-
tural and industrial department of the
New Orleans Picayune of the 10th
inst :
Commissioner IIenderson's book,
showing the possibilities Of Georgia
farms, contains the following state
ment:
sTlioma* county, in the Southern
part of the State, has produced i19
bushels of corn Oh an acre of upland.
Wilkes county, in Middle Georgia, has
produced 1913 bushels OF an acre of
IowIand. Cobb county, in Upper
Georgia, reports los bushels. Mr..
Bloodworth, of Middle Georgia, re-
ports 137 bushels on upland"
''Number Of farms i'll Georgia pro-
duced 100 bushels of oats to the acre.
Mr.. S. w. Leak, of Spalding county,
made net profit of $66 from an acre
sown TO wheat, and after the wheat
was harvested he Immediately sowed
the land to peas, and made IL net profit
of 1888 O8, or grand total nt $199 0S
from an acre of land in one year
"Sixteen farmers in Il friendly cou-
test for the largest yield OF corn from
one acre, made an average of 81 bush
els, the largest product being 1912
bushels"
Mr. r. C. Warthen, of Washington
county, gathered five bales of cotton
from an acre. Large number of farm
ers have made two and three bales of
cotton an acre
From an acre OF river land, Mid
die Georgia, Bermuda grass has given
a net profit of 1896 AZ to an ac.e."
The credibility of these statements
may be questioned by a great many,
but they are no doubt true and not
exaggerated. At the close of the war
Georgia was one OF this poorest States
in the South Her farmers combined
intelligent cultivation with Il liberal
use of fertilizers, and as Il result have
trebled the value of their lands and
now raise crops that cannot be excelled
on the best Mississippi or Red river
bottom lands. Georgia's example may
be followed to advan ntage by Louisiana
farmers generally.
