difficult Of any OF the Basso stories she has under
taken The Teutonized French OF Sohmucke Is
extremely difficult 10 turn into English having Just
the same values This, however. the translator has
succeeded in doing, on the Whole, quite satisfact-
oriiy. We notice few for which the proof
reader is responsible. For instance on page
ia near tho bottom. He has bought
twelve thousand francs worth of meadow
land" should be twelve hundred thousand
francs worth" This of course can be corrected in
a later edition. Such blemishes few and of lit
tie consequence. The translation, like that OF the
preceding Volumes Is conscientious. sympathetic
and faithful. The authors meaning IS very seldom
obscured IN the least by Its English dress. Occa-
sionaly rendering might have been happier, but
as rule the version close enough for all purposes
1t Is in fact capital piece of work, and
oouraSed bv 1t to hope that the publishers will find
il worth their while to reproduce much more of the
Coincide Humane than they may at first have con-
templated.

Our friend, Col. NJ. B. Hillyard
representing the Times Democrat, and
whose very interesting articles we
have given space in the Echo for the
past three weeks, was in our city
again on Monday last, and, as usual,
gave us pleasant call and made him
self at home. We here offer an apol-
ogy. for not mentioning Mr.. Hillyard
in our last issue. We were carried
away SO completely with his vim and
articles descriptive of our parish, that
we lost sight of the man. We think
the Times, Democrat lucky in procur.
ing the services of Mr.. HilIysrd, as,
perhaps. few others would have filled
his place SO well here in writing up
our parish.

On Thursday last Mr.. Charles
johnson, of Algiers, La, brought into
our office, fibre produced from okra
plant (Abelmoselius Esculentus) and
also fibre produced from the Jute.
The fibre was about nine feet in length
and Mr.. johnson said he had seen 1t
twelve feet in length. This fibre was
prepared on a simple machine of his
own construction. The okra was
coarse but white; the jute finer and
of a golden tinge. The Ramie he
said could be prepared with the same
machine and was very fine. We pre-
dict that the day is not far when cot
ton will divide acres with these new
industries. The okra yields from
5000 to 1000 lbs. per acre.

its shelter, at the mercy of the elements.
N the conscientious performance Of all the
duties OF life Mrs. Wells was remarkable.
she never faltered nor turned aside. from the
narrow path, the syia dolorosa' which at
every step wounds the feet Of the pilgrims
whose eyes are fixed on the distant glow Of
the Eternal city. Gifted with a masculine
understanding which dispassionately exam
lned, and weighed contradictory opinions,
ana actions, she at once penetrated, and
seized the truth, making 1t her own. In fact
throughout the days of her life uncomprO-
missing truth was the lamp to her feet, and
the infallible test to which she submitted all
innings. These qualities commanded the re-
epeet of all with whom she was brought In
contact. But the loving tender heart, whose
beats are stilled, the patient, unselflsh nature
whose last sacrifice is made,--these find
mourners in the relatives and friends, who
knew her best, and loved her most To them,
the parting is grievous, and the sense Of loss
intolerable. But with all their pains they
must remember that as in the economy OF
nature nothing is lost, nothing annihilated
SO in the grand plan of Eternity, the trans
planted soul will reach the fruition of the
blessed hopes and noble endeavor which
death has checked but which Eternity will
crown with completeness.
such lives as that of Mrs. Wells, have q
nxed and definite value to the world.
1.-THE dear Lords best interpreters,
Are faithful human souls,
The gospel of a life like hers
Is more than books or scroll.
From scheme and creed the light goes out,
This sanity fact survives,
The blessed Master none can doubt,
Revealed in holy lives"
