morning when you get up, and the yard will be
punched full of holes a a sieve, where she has
tracked it
few weeks ago citizen of this place saw the
town COW coming into gate which had swung open.
Twenty feet away stood a beautiful Irish Juniper
tree. The man ran toward the cow, and the cow ran
toward the tree, into which she thrust her head and
by vigorous shaking broke the beautiful tree all to
pieces. Then she ready to go-and she did go,
too.
The worst feature about the town is her indom-
liable perseverance. No physical pain can dishear-
ten or discourage her. You may knock off horn,
twist her TAIL beat her with club but she is still
full of business. An apt illustration of this CIV
en- few days ago, in an anecdote told by George w.
Cavett having occurred during his residence here
some years ago. The best specimen of the town cow
was then owned by Peter McNeel. She took in the
whole range of lots along Columbia and lower Main
streets, and could open gates like burglar George
watched her go into Mr.. Robbins yard one day, and
had good laugh to that gentleman pelt her with
brickbats. But ha! Here she comes! George
cured about half gallon of scalding water and laid
for her. and just she unconcernedly walked into
his gate he fired the whole business her. striking
her amidships. With a wild rush she went out of
that gate, and it seemed that she had enough of
aging for one day. But, after getting outside she
made spasmodic dive for John Davis gate, over
near the mill, and aoent in!
1t is useless to try to discourage her. You might
keep her outside by cutting grass and throwing it
the fence, but then you would have to throw 1t
squarely in front of the gate and the pavement
she would not touch it.

case of the s.call' was manifested at this place,
some years ago. A certain old gentleman who could

"I'm going to keep an orderly house"
said a doggery-keeper to man who OBJ
jected to the character of his house and
his business generally. Could greater
mockery be crowded into the same num-
Der of words? Who, then, will keep a
disorderly house? Let us see Over
there, by the hillside, is miserable hut,
surrounded by appearances of destitution,
and dirt, and squalor. Ragged children
are playing about the door, their rude
howls keeping weird accompaniment
to the rubbing kept up by the wife and
mother who tolls over the wash-tub. No
husband and father is there. He cannot
afford to stay there, because it is a disor-
derly house. 1t is sad to contemplate the
fact that man is driven away, by disor-
der, from what should be the dearest
spot on earth, yet we may follow the poor
suffering man and see to what extent he
finds relief from the cares and burdens of
disorderly house. We come to large
room filled with tables, and chairs, and
men, and boys, and noise. Several parties
are playing cards, banging their fists
down upon the tables in the noisiest pos
sible manner. At the bar stand half
dozen men, holding glasses. which they
jingle together, accompanying with the
most frightful oaths. There is a horrible
stencil of the liquors and slops dispensed
in the place. Occasionally a blear-eyed
attache of the place trundles an empty
keg out at the front door, where the ac-
cumulated kegs lie, publicly proclaiming
the infamy within. About the door are
collected gang of disorderly, obscene
rakes and bummers, who render the air
hideous with profanity. All about the
place the same character is maintained.
The whole thing is a veritable Devils
Den, and the keeper of the place is his
Agent. This, then, is the orderly house
the man was gong to keep-and this is
the kind of orderly houses that character
ize that business.

Crop Prospects.

N. o. Times Democrat, 10TH
The reports from oil four of our lead :
ing crops, cotton, sngar, rice and corn,
continue excellent, and more than ex-
cellent, and are in remarkable contrast
with last year, IN condition, promise
and prices.
We Published yesterday the report of
the condition of the cotton crop AS
several of the correspondents of the
National Cotton Exchange expressed it,
.the crop was all that could be hoped
for" and ga better crop had never been
seen.n This is particularly so in the
alluvial districts where the largest per-
centage of land is in cotton and where
the yield per acre is best. These dis
tricts have suffered hitherto from over.
flows. This year, however, they have
escaped them altogether, and as con-
sequence the cotton is from six weeks
to two months more forward, and the
acreage planted is so much greater as
to swell the total for the whole State lO
per cent above last year, far greater
improvement than any other State
shows.
In the matter of sugar also the out
look is brighter. There is no danger Of
such a disastrous overflow as that which
came with the Davis crevasse, and
which cut short the CROP for several
years to come. The price of sugar
moreover, has somewhat improved o.
late and is more encouraging to plant
ers.
AS to rice. the disaster which over,
whelmed so many sugar plantations
the Davis crevasse-and which pre-
vented them from being planted in cane
had the effect of largely increasing The
amount of land planted in rice along
the Mississippi, at the same, time tina
the redemption of swamp lands in West
ern Louisiana is bringing moro acreage
under this crop. The number of acres
in rice is phenomenally large, aud th.
plant being in splendid condition, one
of the largest if not the lsrgest crop eve
produced in the State is promised. Al
for corn, it has been growing excellent
ly, but during the past two weeks there
has been complaint about a deficien
cy Of rain and fear expressed lest th'
crop might be injured by droutl. Th'
rains we have had during the past few
days have dissipated this fear and rem
dered this as promising crop as Louis
iana's other staples.
