WEATHER AND CROPS. Since the
timely showers of last week, the wealth
sr has remained clear aud warm, yet
with cool uights for the season. Farm
work has been going on in q rapid and
most satisfactory manner, and the
crops will soon be in first class condi-
tion. The oldest corn has been thor
oughly cleaned and pInnghed and is
growing with almost d tropical lnxu-
rance The first planting of cotton
has also been hoed and hilled mp with
the plow, and, now the younger corn
and cotton is being placed in excellent
condition. The outlook for all crops is
splendid, and with future auspicious
seasons, we expect TO chronicle one OF
the finest harvests that has been Wit
messed IN st. Landry for years Many
planters are cutting their nats for hay
purposes, while others will let them
ripen and cut later for threshing and
using the grain. The early rice is re-
ported to be growing finely, and good
stands are reported Of that planted
later.

OPPORTUNITIES.

The smallest du,ics are in some
sense the largest sphere for the opera
ton of great principles,' says DR..
Alexander McLaren. s'For it is the
little duties which by their minuteness
tempt men to think that they can do
them without calling in the great prin-
of conduct that give the color to
every life after all. You can write the
Lords Prayer and the Ten Command
ments in the space of thrcepenny bit;
but you a make all the santifying
powers of the Gospel visible and mani
within the narrow circle Of the
smallest duties that the lowest station
has to perform. The little banks Of
mud in the wheel-tracks on the road
are shaped upon the same slopes and
moulded by the same law that carves
the mountains and lifts the precipices
of the Himalayas. And a handful of
on the hedge in the winter time
will fall into the same curves and be
obedient to the same great physical
laws which shape the glaciers that lie
on the sides of the Alps. You do not
want the big things in order. largely
and nobly, to manifcrt big principles.
The smallest duties, distinctly done for
Christ's sake. viii adorn the doctrine"

From Alaska.

John Strandberg, an old time min
er of Eureka District, returned last
week to the Base Range from Alaska,
where he went during the early part of
last Spring and remained a couple or
three months. He has great faith in
the mineral resources of the country
and saws it is in his belief that Doug
lass and neighboring island (the name
of which we are now unable to recall)
can alone furnish within tile next 20
years enough gold TO supply the wants
of the nations of the world. What is
neeCed on these islands are mills SIM
liar to the Treadwell to work the ore,
which is abundant but of low grade.
Men of limited means there have little
show. What is also required is capital,
and until more large mills are con-
structed it is good section for the
impecunious to stay away from. The
miners working for the Treadwell
Company are chiefly Indians and
Cinnamon. The former being strong
aud hard workers are the preferred
class The mill hands are principally
white men.
Mr.. Strandberg says prespectors
who go TO Alaska generally land Mt

ART river. section that is known to be
rich in placers. The river is tribu
utary OF the Yukon, and is distant from
Juneau ABOUT 1000 miles. The trip
consumes about month, and is ditfl-
cult To make, especially With an outfit.
1t is believed that by next Spring a
line of small steamers will be run to
within 30 miles of the place, when n
great rush will no doubt be inaugural
ed. The last party of miners who re-
turned to Juneau from the plaeers pro-
duced coarse gold in good quantities,
and said they would willingly have
paid 500 per sack for -four 1t their
claims, but their supply OF provisions
becoming exhausted they had to sus
pend work and return for more. In
the Winter time and until June the
weather in that section is extremely
cold, but during July and August the
snow disappears except in gulches,
where it drifts very deep.
