Work Out Our Own Destiny.

The Baton Rouge Truth in an earnps;
appeal to the people to work out their

Who would desire so settle i'm a State
where trade is affected with palsy and
tho people are poor and growing poorer?
What matters ii to the settler that we
have running brOoas and rolling pasture
lands with plantation rich beyond the
need of fertilization, if we are living
under a mercantile system that cOrrodes
aud eats at the yitalS of our agriculture?
That we have no good schools, throughout
the year?-that we have roads impassa-

soil and undevelOped resources with
the capitalist, for the abundant use of
money is the one thing needful to at
once rehabilitate our industries; but il is
not the argument to catch the immi-
grant. Like Mr.. Micawber, the LOuisia-
na planter has been waiting for years for
something to "turnup"; but nothing has
turned up, nor ever will. He will find
out sooner or later, that he must turn
something up himself; and that some
thing, will be found to be the fruitful
soil OF our beloved State; and he must

Must Help Themselves.

The liouma Courier goes to the root
Of the matter in well considered article
counseling the people to help themselves.
Ii says:
All over the parish is heard the cry Of
"hard times" mo money in sugar at pre-
sent prices" "bayous all stopped up-no
drainage, no navigation" "MOrgan's Rail-
road Company nuisance" what is 60
ing to become of us next year." etc. 1t is
granted that the lands of TerrebOnne are
as fertile as any under the sun, it is ac
knOwledged that no country is naturally
better drained by the five bayOus that
run parallel through its limits to the
gulf and in point of adaptability TO pro
ductiveness of fruits. the resources of
this parish are certainly as good if not
better than those Of any other in the SUI
gar belt. Then why is it that mutter-
l1gS ofdiscOntent are everywhere heard
to-day? Why this general depression and
stagnatiOn of business? The cause is
clearly attributable to inactiOn. to the
apathy and Indifference which each man
indulges in with regard to the affairs of
his neighbOr and as long as this is per-
sisted in, ruin, absolute ruin will be the
issue. We must unite, we must organize
hold meetings. talk these matters over in
council, formulate some plan of action,
and then work unitedly in common for
common good results.

American Opium Smokers.

The class of Americans most ad-
dicted to opium smoking are said to
be actors and travelling men. with a
fair sprinkling OF all otherprofessioEs
and pursuits mixed in with them.
One Of the most complete wrecks!rom
opium in this city to-day is a lawyer,
however, who in two short years has
lost a practice worth at least sl0.-
000 a year and a number OF friends
worth all the way from pleasant
handshake to the cheerful loan of a
thousand or two. He tried it just to
see how it weal,and it wentvery bad
ly in his case, indeed. To-day his
friends avoid him and his family
are dependent upon others, while he
himself finds no enjoyment outside
OF a few pipes of opium, smoked
whenever and wherever it can be
found, for the little money he can
raise. Another authenticated case
is that of young lady who has
smoked as high as 40 grains a day,
but she could afford it, as she came
of good family in this city, and
had money to keep up the habit
1t is said there are number Of wO-
men here in New York who average
400 grains of opium per day, and
many men who smoke from 600 to
800 grains daily, every other day, o.
once week, as the habit has gained
control over them, and as they are
able to regulate their actions In this
respect. Some men make II a regu
lar practice to go on an opium de-
bauch once q week or even once a
month, rs the case NAV be, out the
great majority Of them smoke and
dream continually as long as tteir
money lasts, stopping only when
cash gives out and the den keepers
become obstinate. Stringent State
laws have failed completely TO put
stop to the practice in this as well
as other States, and if the habit in
creases as rapidly within the next
ten years as IL has within the past
ten years 1t will become a serious
question with Uncle Sam what to do
with the load introduced here by tine
Chinese originally in the shape of
the little opium pea, and
swelled to the size OF q small
world of woe through the readiness
with which a civilized people nurse
it. In some parts of China it has
been so very destructive that the
lips OF opium smokers-that is the
upper lips-were cut away In order
to prevent suction in holding the
pipe for a draw" but even this fail
ed to arrest the habit or stop new
recruits from joining the vast army
of smokers.

The Paper Tree OF Tonquin.

The paper trees of Tonquin are
found in abundance in the noun
tains near Sontag. The dried bark
is brought in bundles upon the back
of an oxen or buffalo from the noun
tains, where it is gathered for the
numerous paper mills, whose prin-
cipal centre is in the vicinity of Ha-
moi. 1t Is worth about 2 cents a
pound. This bark is macerated and
then rubbed up in mortars, so as to
reduce it to a fine pulp. This latter
is extended with a certain quantity
of water in order to form a clear
paste. which is sized with an infr-
sion made FROM the sbavings of the
garaao, a tree which grows in abun-
dance on the Black River noun
tains.
The paper is manufactured, sheet
by sheet, by women, by means of
delicate bamboo screens, that they
alternately dip into the paste and
take out herewith a thin sheet of
paper, which they deposit upon a
board. At the end Of the day these
sheets are put into press in order
to extract the moisture from them.
and are then dried by placing them
one by one on hot masonry wall.
Finally they are put up in packages
and trimmed. Each woman makes
about l LOCO sheets day. The thick
ness Of the paper depends upon the
consistency of the paste.

4. Penny Groceries in New York.

Within the last six months a
number of Italians and Germans
have started penny groceries in the
parts of the-.city populated by the
poor, and these places all seem TO
be prosperous and thriving. Ten
cents is thought by these grocers to
be big bill, and the investor of a
quarter is inevitably regarded as a
millionaire. In conversation with a
Mail and Express reporter Lead
ing retail grocer said:
There is no doubt these penny
groceries are on the increase. They
are an evil, and the penny grocer is
really the poor mans enemy instead
OF his friend. In the penny grocer
the poor man pays twice as much
for bis provisions in the long run
and doesn't get as good quality as if
he bought them in moderate guam
titles from larger stores. The penny
groceries are stocked with what the
poor man Is likely to buy. The
quality of the provisions is not good:
the cotfe and tea are especially poor,
and the vegetables are invariably
stale. Many oftne penny groceries
sell bad whisky to their customers,
but few allow it to be drank on their
premises
An Italian who keeps a penny
grocery in South Fifth avenue, near
Bleecker street, gives the following
list as an illustration Of what can be
done in a penny grocery with sill

Works.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 30.-Yester-
day morning three masked men en-
tered the engine-room of the Mar
shal Coal Company's Works at Erie,
on the Colorado Central Railroad,
forty miles from Denver, captured
the engineer, took him several yards
away, tied him, and then returned
and set fire to all the coal in the
Company's hosting works. The
ebgine-house. tramway, and several
cars of the railroad company, were
completely destroyed. The loss will
reach over $4,000, while several
hundred men are thrown out of en-
p,oyment. Three weeks ago the
wages of The men in the company's 3
mines were cut down, when the
knights of Labor ordered a strike,
but the miners rather than be with
out work at this time of the year re-
fused to obey. This mornings out
rage is supposed to be another out
