November 3rd, 1883.
The meteorological conditions dur
ing tbs past week were generally
favorable to agricultural pursuits in
this State. The rainfall was GEN
orally light in character in the sugar
region during the early part of the
week, since which time clear sun
shiny weather has prevailed. The
following are the weekly rairfalls re-
ported: Lake Providence O.3O
Flcksburg O.O9. Vaudeville DOS, Con.
vent Jefferson College, O.39, Mt
AIRY o.23, Sugar Experiment Statisn
03o, New Orleans O.5G. Abbeville
O.9S. and Houma 0GO.
The temperature and sunshine were
about a seasonal average except in
the Gulf parishes where the tenn
perature WAS reported slightly above,
and the sunshine slightly below.
Light frosts were reported as follows:
Monroe, on Goth; Marksville. on 2Sth
and 30th; Cheneyville, On 3lst: Gin.
ton, on Goth and 30th; Vaudeville, on
Both; Convent Jefferson college), on
3Oth, and Mount Aira. on Both.
Cotton picking is being vigorously
pressed in the northern section and
a few weeks Of good weather will be
sufficient to complete the harvest.
Seven eighth of the cotton is reported
housed and being shipped to market
in Catahoula parish. The observer
at Chepcyville reports that the cotton
in that vicinity will yield Z bale per
acre, and that the cane, which is fas,
ripening, will yield from 2 to 81 hhds. /
per acre. Planters in ST. james com .
plain of the small size and dryness of !
the cane, and from ST. Charles and
Terrebonne that the weather is too
warm for cane to yield its maximum
of juice, although very favo. bIe for
harvesting. In Vern;lion cane is
beng put up for seed and grinding
will be general on large plantations
during the coming week. The rice
crop is reported nearly harvested
and poor yield i'll Laiourche. but {
Of better yield and quality than ex-
pected in the western rart Of Acadia.

MR. EDITOR:
In the last issue of the BEACON YOU
asked, what is being done by the
Tensas Basin Levee District? The
answer i, all that IS necessary has
been and Is now being done Tie
lcvees are all IN froin the State line
mp to and including the levee across
Doggy Bayou above Arkansas City,
and they are MP on an average from
one and half 10 two feet above the
iiool line Of 1883. except Fulton Lake
lcyee, which will be finished sometime
this month. The Mississippi River
Commissioners are now having these
ievees heightened and strengthened
with the $4,000 appropriated by it
for that purpose, and not long since |
wrote to Capt. Rossell, the l. S.
Engineer in charge, informing him
that our Levee Board had $25 ZOO,
cash, that We could appropriate to
that purpose and that | would dis
like to submit to an overflow while
we had money that We might use to
prevent it. His answer was as fol-
lows Il hope that the leyees in
Arkansas will be three feet above
1855 water for the coming season.
Should there be need of part or all
of your funds will write you"

We would like to have the cotton
that the average colored man expects
to make and only have to account for
the quantity he actually does make.
We would be solid. Our soil is sus-
ceptible Of producing four times as
much as they make. When we see
large loads of cotton seed being
shipped daily while the cattle are
poor and the land going down for
the want Of fertility, We do not won
der at the general decline of the
crops.

Over in the hill parishes they have
had ratification meetings, but to sug-
gest such a thing in Richland causes
great suspicion. Ratification is an
endorsement or approval.
Col. Boatner was nominated unani-
mcusly at Monroe. The ratification
OF the acts of that convention was moth
ing but proper and Democratic as it
was a Democratic convention. To
rat!fy is to approye.

10 encourage a young man in all
his laudable undertakings is COM
mendable, but for the young man who
has thus been favored not to appreci-
ate such kind Offices is gross ingrati-
tade. How many are guilty of in
gratitude? We see now and then
accounts of paricide What can be
more revaulting than the son taking
the life of father or mother?
In the wisdom Of our lawmakers
they have made it good and valid
reason for disinheritance for son to
strike his father in anger in this
State.

In the Shreveport Times of the
18th is an account Of man commit
ing suicide by driving a ten penny
nail into his brains. How did this
suicide conceive the idea of ending
his earthly career in this wise seems
to puzzle our neighbor Of the Times,
In the Times Democrat Of l4th is an
account of hanging of 2 women who
had dispatched their husbands in this
way, taken from the St.James Gazette.
Reading this romantic account, as
published in tie Gazette perhaps
prompted this man to resort to this
means of ending his life.

Is experience, application and
industry worth anything? fnot, is
there any incentive for young man
to apply himself? Industry, economy
and application is too often taken as
penuriousness. This should not be.
The Young man who has the moral
courage to brave all these things
deserves much credit.

missed Weaver who had gone to take

to the door he found the body of
Weaver that had fallen back into the
