VIM. Eggert, Jr., of Eggert, Miller
a Co., tobacco dealers of Cincinnati,
has forwarded several packages of to-
bacco seed to the Donaldsonviile Chief,
with the request that it be distribute
ed to intelligent farmers in the parish
who will undertake to plant and cult
vate it propely according to condi-
tions given in circular which accom-
panies each PACKAGE and gives the
following reasons for desiring it planted
in the South:
The Northern States are not progress
ing in the quality OF their crops of
cigar ieat-entirely the contrary is the
case-and one of the leading causes is
that the seasons are too short for
proper maturing and curing of fine
quality cigar leaf. Another cause is
probably that soils are exhausted, OF
becoming SO, of the original food ele-
ments, from long continued raising of
tobacco. La fertilizing their fields, the
Northern cigar leaf raisers have made
use OF substances whose Influence is
such that each succeeding season re-
cords degeneration in desirable quail
tlcS. Inc toudCcO pfOutlccu Keeps up
in weight and spread of leaf, but, as
whole, is unreliable 10 burning quail
ties, is coarse, harsh and woody, and
not as attractive in appearance, in taste
or aroma, as i'll former years.
From necessity manufacturers of fine
cigars are now compelled to use import
ed cigar leaf for wrapping purposes,
whereas formerly the domestic leaf was
entirely satisfactory. Sumatfa tobacco
for wrapping cigars, is so excellent in
texture and burning, that the domestic
cigar tobaccos, as now produced by the
old cigar leaf States, are disliked 10y
manufacturers of fine ci CARS.
The remedy is-entirely different but
choice seed; different soil, or one
rich in organic matter, and not yet ex-
hausted by repeated crops of tobacco,
and a different growing and curing
season, which latter is of the greatest
Importance, and beyond the reach OF
the Northern States, consequently | be-

Last Tuesday evening, A. D. Theriot,
a student at St. Charles College, Grand
Coteau, while in bathing, near the
town, was drowned. Although accom-
panied by several of the students none
knew he had drowned until about an
hear afterwards, when they instituted
search and found his body. He is sup
posed to have taken cramp which dis
abled him. He was II years old, an
only son, and general favorite among
the students. His remains were con-
veyed to Houma, on Wednesday morn
ing accompanied by the Rev. Mr..
1Beaudaquind and two comrades.
