The following is from a cores

The following is from a cores
pendent of the New York Times:
New ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-THE APP
poiutment by President Cleveland
last Friday Of the Hon. Charles
Parlange as United States District
Attorney for the Eastern District of
Louisiana, vice A. Fl. Leonard
removed, was the sererest blow the
local Bourbon ring has received.
One by one the prominent appoint,
meuts had been made from among
the element in the party known as
the Reform or ANYTHING Democracy
aud no recognition had beeu given
to the element represented by
MeEnery, Burke and Eustis. a
fiual stand, however, was made by
the ring on the District Attorney
ship, and it was determined to pre-
vent a change being made rather
than that this place also should be
given to the enemies of the ring.
The President in this case as in ev
cry other submitted the matter to
senator Gibson who furnished snch
potent reasons in favor Of Mr..
Parlange that he was appointed at
once.
The appointee is a young creole
lawyer Of Pointe Coupee. He came
into public life as a member of the
Constitutional Convention OF 1879,
and had twice been elected State
Senator. In the Senate he vas the
leader Of the opposition to the
%Penitentiary lease and the other
corrupt jobs of that body. His
appointment was urged by the friend:
of ex Gov. Nichols and Senator
Gibson and opposed by Gov Nc
Emery, States Treasurer Burke, Sena
tor Eustis, ex Congressman Ellis, and
their allies. The appointment means
harm to the ring and its methods.
1t means also so war to the deatf
upon the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany, is the backbone of the rina
and great ovcrruling power in thu
Louisiana States Government. Ii
the appointment Of Mr.. Par'angt
the ring has met its worst disaster.

The Spanish Chufa:

| promised you last spring that |
would give you the result OF my
experiment with the cliufa. This
is the first year [ had the chance OF
trying it.
Well, we may all be deceived in
some things, but unless am mos;
wofully deceived in the chufa, it is
just the thing the South needs to
enable farmers to be independent on
the meat question. now begin to
see how farmers can raise hogs and
fatten them without any cora. In
seems to me as plain as The S to
mans face. 1t is to adopt your
suggestion Of raising small grain,
clover and grasses for summer graz
ing, and to plant chufa to fatten and
winter on, Don't yon see it? Yes
and we can raise corn, too. Must
l tell you how Well, just plant your
corn FIVE Or SIX feet apart in the
row then plant a row Of chufa be-
tween each row gather your corn
and turn in your hogs and my word
for it. they will e.atten to your entire
satisfaction.
Well, but | have not told you
about my cbafa yet. Last spring
by %persevering and losing a letter
and two dollars sent to J. Ii. & FL.
P. Jones, Of Ga. Il reckon it was
los!) ! succeeded in getting one gal
ION of chufa seed from Mr.. Todd OF
Alabama. They came Up badly, but
by drawing the slips or sprouts
set out near half an acre of ground.
In consequence of the dronth they
did but little after the August rains
Now we have dug and scattered
until we are all tired, and quit
when we turned in thirteen hog:
to fatten on them, and they won,
get all of them. Besides, | have
seed enough to bring me two hun
dred dollars at the price they are
selling at here. Now don't that look
like paying better than cotton? 1e
the farmers, or at least some Of then
are seemingly afraid to try thu
chufa. Nevertheless many Of ouI
farmers are getting their eyes opel
on the subject, for | have alread,
answered seventeen letters from
different States, all asking fol-
information about the chufa, hov
and where to get the seed.
The fact, is, Mr.. Editor. the far
mers don't take interest enough i
agricultural journals. 1f'they woul'
read more and write more, the
would be better posted.-Souther

A fat old man was spread out
over four seats on a Texas train. at
a small station a tall lady wearing a
sun bonnet entered the car. The fat
old man pretended that he did not
see her, but a gentleman just behind
the fat mar, who took up so much
room. politely removed his gripsack.
and she sat down, thanking him for
his attention. She did not say any
thing for a minute or so. Then she
snapped her eyes and remarked to
the gentleman who had given her a
seat, at the same time glancing in
the direction Of tie corpulent old
gentlemen. "You cant rely on what

Rotation.

If one will observe how nature
provides a succession OF crops. a 70
tation, in fact, of pines after hard
woods and Of hard woods after pines,
lie may learn the necessity of follow
ing this example of nature and Of
himself practicing a regular rota-
ton Of crops. And the farmer is
bound to practice this natural law
Of rotation, and in the practice the
luguminous crops play a most impor-
tant part. Then we have TO consider
where clover or peas. which are the
most useful Of these crops, come in
to the best advantage. And as a
rule it must be just preceding the
most exacting crop. With some
farmers this is wheat, with some it
is corn. and with some one Of these
is as important as another. But
clover comes in just at this point,
and in fact, it is the key to the whole
Of the rotation. All that is to be
CoLsluSl GU, tHcu, Is INV W Sel IL III,
because, as d rule, the clover is sown
down with the wheat. Where peas
are a successful crop there is no
trouble, because peas a precede
wheat, clover can follow it, oats or
barley can follow clover, roots or
potatoes can follow the oats or bar.
ley, and peas can follow the roots.
Where corn il grown this can follow
clover or a mixture Of grass and
clover roots can follow corn, oats
or barley can follow roots, clover
can be sown down with these grains,
and wheat can follow the clover
and clover aud timothy can he s0wn
with the wheat or grass Of some kind
alone. In the rotation there will be
FIVE crops and in the other eight,
We mention roots because this CROP
is as indispensable as clover for its
beneficial effect in cleaning the sol
Of weeds, and this operation is as
absolutely necessary to good farm
ing as good soil and good culture.

Happy Thoughts.

When we have a grievance we
must treatit as a weed and pull it up.
Work is the weapon Of honor, and
who locks up the weapon will never
triumph.
Trouble does not come by chance
1T is sent to make US rise and not
to make US sink.
Reading merely for pastime, with
out any moral aim, is a thing to be
guarded against.
Immortality opens a large hope,
that may oyerpay the most unspeak.
able bitterness of life.
Be true to your friend ; never
speak Of his faults to another, &c
show your own discrimination.
None are so tiresome as those
who always agree with US We
might as we'll talk with echoes.
The noblest books and divines'
prayers depend for their lasting
powers upon the sympathy the,
show.
A mar who has a heart in hin
values a genuine little bit of homo
more than anything else you ca,
give him.
Advices always %infers, however
gently it may be given, a certain
superiority in the giver over thu
receiver.

Point out a community that is
animated by a spirit Of envy, con.
tention and malicious rivalry, and
you will 6nd it a community where
hard times generally prevail; where
enterprises are subjected to all spe-
cies Of opposition; where there is
little sociability ana few e%nioylnents.
a prosperous community is one
where every ma understands that
it is not to his interest to run down
a useful industry because he differs
in opinion with, or dislikes those
who conduct it, but on the contrary,
that it is to his interest to sustain
those labors beneficial to the general
we fare. Whenever that feeling can
be aroused and maintained in a
community, prosperity, sociability,
enjoyment and contentment will fol
low. Every one will take pride in
any matter involving its reputation.
Associations of all kinds will pros
per, and unity of action will be
easily secured whenever the common
interest requires it. -S St. Martin
