Itor Lake CharIaR Echo,

GRAND CKENIER, La, May 20, 1885.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
A few short months ago, Grand Che
nier was new garden of Hesperides,
the golden apple was our pride and our
wealth but the freeze came, and years,
and years of labor was destroyed as If
by the wand of some evil spirit jealous
of our earthly paradise. To me the
orange trees meant four years at col
lege, plenty of books, etc. Only a few
frozen trees have been left standing to
speak of the fallacy Of human grandeur
and ambition.
The undaunted farmers not at all
discouraged by this unexpected blow
Of adverse fortune, have hewn down
the balance and planted cotton. The
cotton is our only resource; fully aware
of this, the energertic planters Of this
section are taking every step to make
a success of the prospective crop
they are determined to wage war
against that dire enemy of Louisiana,
the caterpillar. The plan adopted is
very simple, and will prove effectual,
if carried through persistently, it is as
follows: During dark nights, lights
are to be placed in the cotton patch
the moth which produces the cater
pillar is attracted by the brilliant OBJ
jeet, singes its wings and falls into
pan of water with a little coal oil
floating on top, and placed under the
lamp. Mr.. A. Dorcy has fifteen lamps
in bis field.
| have the greatest confidence in
This method, and consider the cotton
crop as sure, and no Doctors bill to
pay, for in this blessed parish of ours
people do not get sick, the Grand
Ohenier farmers will come out all right.
Respectfully, STEvIE F. READ,

Shreveport Daily Journal. Sheriff
Lake is in receipt of letter from
Sheriff Henry Davis, Of Anderson
county, Texas, asking him to hold
Hamp Derry, who is wanted at Pales-
tine on the charge Of perjury. Derry
is the man who was convicted under
the name Of Robert Howard, and mar
rowly missed going to the penitcn-
tiary by proving clear case Of mis-
taken identity. A petition for the
pardon of Derry was forwarded yes
terday, and there is scarcely doubt
it win be granted. If SO he will be re-
leased from Jail unless capias from
Texas is forthcoming.
Amite City Gazette: Ca Sunday
morning last while Mr.. Akers and
children we're on visit to Poncha-
toula, and while in the store of his
brother, keg of powder was ignited
by some means which caused q terri
Bile explosion. One Of the children, a
girl about thirteen years of age, was
seriously injured, and died. The
other two, girls also, we're hurt but
not seriously. One received a severe
blow on the leg, and the other on The
eye. Tho children were in another
room from where the powder was. II
is a mystery how the powder caught,
as the screw was still in the head of
the keg when found.

Deriving Fertilizer from the
Air.

Exchange.
Although nitrogen, in the shape OF
ammonia or nitric acid, existing in
guano, dried blood, nitrate of soda.
sulphate of ammonia, and other sources
is the most costly material entering
into the composition of our CONNER
cial fertilizers, yet it is one of the
most plentiful substances existing. The
air is composed of four-fftbs nitrogen,
but being in free or uncombined con
dition, it cannot be utilized, as invent
i've genius has SO far failed to discover
any method by which man can compel
the atmosphere to give up portion of
its free nitrogen for his purposes.
But, while we cannot derive nitro
gen from the air, though surrounded
on all sides by it, yet nitrogen also
exists in the atmosphere in combined
condition, as ammonia and nitric acid,
and we can, by the assistance of grow
ing vegetation, capture and return it
TO the soil. This ammonia in the at
mosphere is that given off by decaying
substances, both animal and vegetable,
as well as from that which is con.
sumed IN the stoves, furnaces, etc.
Some crops have the capacity of ap-
propnating nitrogen from the atmos-
Phere whenever 1T is combined, but
whether TINS IS done through the
agency OF the leaves, as with carbon,
or not is as yet undetermined, but it
mas been fully demonstrated that the
rams carry down ammonia and nitric

Blindfolded and alone l stand

The darkness deepens as grope,
Afraid to fear. afraid to hope;

Blindfolded and alone wait,
Loss seems too bitter, gain too late,
Too heavy burdens in the load,
And too few helpers on the road.
And joy is weak and grief Is strong,
And years and days so long, SO long;
Yet this one thing learn TO know

she Is as peculiarly talented in financial
management as her enterprising hus-

leads past the pOrtlcO on the side, and
in the rear is a well-appointed stable

which seemed altogether incompatible
with the small income which Mrs. Ward
says she enjoys. While / stood eying
the house with the curiosity and free

and arrange the plants in the swinging
baskets on the portico. She wore a
dainty morning wrapper of foulard silk,
which, despite its flowing proportions.
could not conceal the beautiful contour
of her graceful figure.
There was cold, Indifferent look on
her face and certain mechanism about
her movements which showed that her
mind was not on her work. Could she
have been thinking of her dashing
young husband, pounding stove-plates
within the gray stone walls up among
the Hudson hills? 1t seemed more than
