Ramie and lutte.

Mr.. Jules Juvenet delivered last
night at the Produce Exchange an
interesting address on the subject Of
Ramie and Jute in Louisiana. In
the introduction to his remark M
Ju7enet referred to the lectures jA
had delivered on the same subject
last year at the Exposition, and
spoke Of his machine for the de-
cortica.ion Of the aforesaid plants.
He mentioned the various plants in
the Southern States Of Importance
for the manufacture of textile fabrics
and set forth the superior advan-
tages, of Louisiana for the produc-
ton of such plants, and of New Or
leans as port of importation for
foreign fbrous plants, and as the
locality for the conversion of domes-'
tic and foreign products into manu-
factured goods.
Mr.. Juvenet eloqnently portray.
ed the fertility of Louisiana and her
wonderful agricultural resources.
He remarked that it was a curious
fact that land in Louisiana cold at
So per acre should produce $50 per
acre. and that only onethird of the
tillable land was under cultivation
while in France the reverse was the
case-t that is, land realizing only So
per acre might be sold for $50, and
nearly all the available soil was un-
der cultivation.
The speaker did not omit to men
ton the loveliness of Louisiana
women, and gallantly contended that
their beauty was an incentive to the
men of the State to their best to
provide most handsomely for these
lovely women. The lecturer describ-
ed in detail the culture Of ramie
and jute, and asserted that this
industry should prove a mine of
wealth to the State.
En- PEASANT he referred to the
great geographical advantages enjoy
ed by New Orleans, and the benefits
TO accrue to this city from the
I,esseps Canal and the Eads Ship
Railway. both of which enterprises,
he believed, would be brought to q
successful conclusion.
Mr.. Juvenet illustrated his lecture
with samples of jute and ramie, in
the raw state as decorticated 6bres
and as manufactured goods, such as
burlaps, duck, piping, ect.-New
