Louisiana Sugar Plantations.

The sugar planter requires for his
cane plantation warm moist eli
mate, with intervals of hot, dry
weather, with little danger from
frost. From one to four cuttings are
set cut together in holes about two
feet apart. AS the cane grows they
must be well Weeded and "trashed,'
!. e., all dry, dead leaves removed.
They begin to grow in Louisiana in
February. and are harvested from
October to January. After the first
cutting of the new PLANTS the stole or
stool left sends up another growth of
cane, called "ratoons," which with
each cutting grow smaller in size and
closer in joints. and are said to yield
sweeter juice and finer sugar. The
one planting will last many years.
but Louisiana sugar-growers reckon
only on three years. product, plant
ing third of the sugar ground anew
each year. Rats, white ants, lice,
"bOrers," and some minute animals
producing rust" and must" fight
against the growing plant, as also do
wind and frost. When cutting-time
comes, the cane is cut with Ratchet
close to the stole, the top is chopped
off, and the leaves stripped the canes
are then bundled up and carried to
the mill, often, on the large planta-
tons, on narrow donkey railways, or
placed in windows, on the field, 80
that the juice may not ferment until
they can be handled.
Louisiana plantations, when the
crop is in full vigor, are indeed a
lovely sight, with their broad ex-
panse of leafy cane. Some of them
are of great extent, the Magnolia
Plantation. now owned by ex-Gov-
ernor Warmoth, which claims to be
one of the banner plantations of the
State, having 492 acres in cane last
year. In 1884 over III 400 acres of
cane were harvested in the State, the
total crop of 12S.000 tons of sugar be-
ing one of the best ever made in the
State; but in lS84-5 floods spoiled 80
much of the crop that only 1860
acres were harvested, producing o.
600 tons of sugar. The crop of 1856
is estimated at 10000 tons. About
10000 freedmen are kept busy in the
sugar fields and mills. The planta-
tons are expected to yield from
twenty to twenty-five tons of cane
per acre. though the average Of the
State in the short crop of 1884 ) was
but seventeen tons. A good crop
should produce 100000 tons of cane,
and be worth to the State from $12,-
800. 900 up. To this Texas and the
FIVE. other States which dabble in
cane-growing add little over ten per
cent.-Harper'S Magazine.

After looking over our very lengthy
letter of last week We had about con-
cuded to offer an apology for taking
up so much space in your valuable
paper, and to hold off this week to
give some one else chance, but you
know, Mr.. Editor, that whenever we
have anything to say we speak right
out in meetin'. We can't help it.
Well, we told you what we had
here, and now we will tell you what
we want.
In the first place we want a rail-
road from here to Salisbury, Pa. dis
lance about five or six miles, to con-
meet with the B. & o. Yes, that is
what we need above everything else,
and we are going to have it. Before
two years rolls around the iron horse
will be stabbed in Grantsvile. The
freight and passenger traffic will pay
big on this little branch. We suppose
Bob" has change enough in the cor
ner of his jeans pocket to do this
much for us most any time.
Then we want first class wooden
mill. There is no better opening in
the county for factory than right
here. Can be run cheaper than any
where in four states. Lumber and
building materials of all kinds are
cheap coal in abundance right Oh the
ground; never need go out of town
to buy the finest grades of wool in
any quantity.
There is also splendid opening
here for tannery. Never was bet
ter place for brush and peg factory.
A good silver smith can make a good
living in this town. We can't see
why "A regular clothing store, with a
full line of gents furnishing goods

Bill Nye on Pugilism.

Chicago News.
Mr.. Dempsey's great force as de-
batOr is less perhaps, in the matter
than in the manner. His delivery is
good and his gestures cannot fail tn
convince the most Skeptical. Strik-
ing in appearance, aggressive in his
nature and happy in his gestures, he
is certain to attract the attention of
the police, and he cannot fail to rivet
the eye of his adversary. / saw one
Of his adYersaries not long ago whose
eye had been successfully riveted in
that way.
And yet John E. Dempsey was
once poor boy. He had none of the
advantages which wealth and posi-
ton bring. But confident of his latent
ability as middle weight convincer,
he toiled on, ever on, sitting up until
long after other people had gone to
bed, patiently knocking out those
brought to him for that purpose.
He never hung back because the
way looked long and lonely. And
what is the result? To-day, in full
vigor of manhood, he is sought out
and petted by every one who takes
an interest in the onward march OF
pugilism.
1t is wonderful record, though
brief. 1t shows what patient industry
will accomplish unaided. Had John
E. Dempsey hesitated to enter the
ring and said that he would rather go
to school where he would.be safe, he
might to-day be an educated man /;
but what does that amount to here
in America, where everybody can
have an education? He would have
lost his talent as slugger and drifted
steadily downward, perhaps, till he
became a school teacher or narrow
chested editor. writing things day
after day just to crafty the morbid
curiosity of n sin cursed world.
In closing l would like to say that
| hope | have not expressed an opin-
ion in the above that may hereafter
be used against me. Do not under
stand me to be the foe of education.
Education and refinement are good
enough in their places, but how shall
we attract attention by trying to be-
come refined and educated in land
where, as l say, education and re-
finement seem almost to run ram
pant?
Heretofore, in America, pugilism
has been made subservient to the
common schools. Pugilism and po-
lygamy have both been crowded to
the wall. Now pugilism is about to
assert itself. The tin ear and the CORY
nose will soon come to the front and
the day Is not far distant when pro-
gressive pugilism and the prize ring
