LOUISIANA RICE BIRDS.
Details of tho Hopeless Fight Against
the Swarming Depredators.
New Orleans Times. Democrat

lNeW OTleuIS SllIneb-DcnOCfut,l
There is but one preventive known in
Louisiana against native rice birds. Those
who have Travelled through the rice regions
In August have seen numbers Of platforms
erected in the rice fields and occupied by u
few thousand sentinels.
They have heard the early morning air
resonant with long-rolling creole "cuss
words,n the loud reports of heavy raw
hide whips, the deep boom Of the duck
gun, the hoarse roar Of. the revolutionary
musket, till they wondered II Pickett's
grand charge at Gettysburg, with It's rat
tling musketry, its roaring cannon, Its yell
Of advancing legions, and its responsive
hurrah from the blue lines on the heights,
made any more commotion on the earth
than few able bodied, broad.lunged Louis
lana rice farmers can make. And this will
be, for 1000 years at least, the only way of
getting rid Of the rice birds.
Our planters wisely discount their depre-
datlons and make provisions for them in ad-
vance, very much as the old darkey who
was In the habit Of planting four grains OF
corn in each hill did. He said: ~ draps
this kyernal for de crow, dis for de
wurIums, dis for de Lawd, and dis for me-"

division, Mr.. j. L. Smith, shows that there
are only 453 pensioners OF this class on the
roll who will become the beneflclaries OF
this increased pension. The small number,
as compared with the number OF pension
ers In the other classes, indicates, 1t is said,
how few survive the amputation Of an
entire limb. 1t my be inferred also from
these figures that there is greater danger
attendant upon the entire amputation Of n
leg than that OF an arm, for there are on
tie rolls only ten pensioners who have lost
leg at the hip Joint, while those who have
lost an arm at the shoulder Joint number

DIR. HOLT IN TROUBLE.
The People of BlIOxi Deeply H.
cenaed.

New Orleans special, 18th: Ever
since DR.. Godfrey, of The United States
hospital service, reported that the
disesee at Biloxi was not yellow fever
that little town has been bitterly az
grieved at DR.. Holt, of the Louisiana
Safe Board, who founded the yellow
fever theory, and who guaranteed
thu town. List night macs meeting
in Biloxi denounced in violent terms
the b AID Of Health, the prees and all
the neighboring towns who quaian-
tint d It, Not sa ished with this, the
people Of the town are taking active
measures to have DR.. Joseph Holt,
pres dent Of the Louis ana 8 a'e Board
of Heath, indicted by their grand
jury, believing that such an indict-
ment would keep him out OF
the s ate for period OF two
years and maka him to soma er,
tent officially dependent npon the
resident physicisns OF Biloxi Tor In
formation relative 10 the nature OF
Suspicious" cases tf mRlarial fever
that may occur in that town in the
future. With view to securing the
Indictment referred to, the leao ers Of
this movement are endeavoring to
procure from those persons recently
prot ated by fever at Cadet Point and
their nurses sflidavits to the feet that
they did not furnish to DR.. Holt the
information that he claimed to have
revived from them, and upon which
he based hrs diagnosis Of the disease.
Several sffidsvits have been made, and
the people Of Biloxi are evident y ripe
for a fight.
