A.case of mechanical ad%ulteration
of sugar of unusual character, was
lately tried at Marseilles, the cargo
of the article, in this case, having
been brought from Reunion-lhe
sugars from this place, of brown
hue, being very rich in saccharine
matter, and we'll suited for mixture.
The superstition was, at first thought,
that tue sugar had been mixed with
powdered bricke and sand; but on
analysis, the added matter was dis.
covered to be slag-a sort of opaque
glass formed in the working of
various metals. or vitros lava from
MISUNDERSTANDING with sand; a saw
ing Or gain of about a cent q pound
being effected from the operation.
The clay has q bright granular'frac-
ture, so that it makes a peculiarly
deceptive imitation of sugar, and
the sand was added to make up the
weights.

judge Lewis to the Grand Jury.

The following paragraphs are
part Of Judge E. I. Louis charge
TO the grand jury Of St. Landry
parish:
There seems to be an epidemic of
crime ia the parish. The Court is
flooded with prosecutions for car
rying concealed weapons, tor disturb
ing the peace, for all manner Of cut
ting aod shooting, for wicked as
saplts aud for murder. No less
than six citizens of the parish have
been slain within the last three
months and four Of these within e
month. One shot and killed while
under arrest, one with his horse
waylaid and riddled with buckshot
on a bridge, and two taken out Of
their houses and shot to death in.
stantly, all being done in the dark.
oess of night.
Suchdeeds es these coll for prompt
and VIGOROUS action. In regard to
the two last mentioned, it occurred
at a time of great excitement grow
ing out of rumors of en- insurrection
or revolt of colored people against
the whites. Whether there was any
ground for such rumors or not is
not for me to say, bat this do say,
that-no man or body of men have
the right to take human life in this
way. If the parties killed had vic.
lated the law, it was an easy mat.
ter to bring them to justice by legal
methods, andsif they had committed
no offfcnse.against the law to clay
them in this manner was nothing
less than murder, atrocious and ut-
terly inexcusable. 1t is none the
less murder whether done by one or
many.
A sense of fear and insecurity
prevails in many sections of the
parish, because Of these crimes and
others not necessary to mention.

Danger Of Malaria In Cities.

1t is a common idea that greater
risk is run from this cause of disease
in the country than in towns and
cities, bntthsre are strong reasons
for doubling that sach is the case, so
far as any unhealthy inauencc'of the
country itself is concerned. IF a
farm house be placed in a low,
swampy situation and a town in Q
similar locality the dwellers in the
ono will be no more liable to vmala.
rious diseases than the inhabitants
OF the other. In large cities, where
the ground il eingconstantly turned
up for the purpose of laying water
and gas mains, constructing sewers,
or for any one Of the hundred other
purposes for which a continual rp-
heaval Of the pavements goes or,
diseases Of malarial origin will al.
most constantly abound. Some
parts of New York city, or Of Phifa.
delphia, for instance, are nearly as
full of malaria as are theworst parts
Of Florida. There is nothing, there.
fore, to.be gained in this respect by
q hasty return from the seashore or
the mountains to the. pent up atmos.
phere of a large town in which -ex.
cavations Of some. kind or other are
at certain seasons of the year car
ried on with more than usual vigor.

Mayor Hewitt says the time will
come when the question Of home

of the doctrine hat"Americas should
be governed by Americans There
is nothing to prevent Americans
from governing America new if they
will only run the primaries, .nomi.
nate Americans, and vote for them.
But it will .be rather difficult to de-.
termine who are Americans and who
are not. There are some millions of

try who were not born here.

Some time during the present
month Mr.. Cody, tamiliary known
by the soubriquet of Buffalo Bill"
heads an expedition bound for the
lower part Of California, which it is
said has not been explored by white
mel for the past two or three hun.
dred years. 1t is the only wild
part of the country that is not
thoroughly familiar to him, and he
is anticipating most pleasurable sen.
sations in penetrating new forests
and climbing hitherto unclimbed
mountains. Lord Charles B~eresford,
Mr.. Belmont, Albert Bierstadt, the
artist, and somefew other English.
men and Americans, are to be of the
party. They expect to find q good
deal of large game, and to encoun.
ter warlike Indians. At the same
time they hope to 6nd gold and
silver mines that will surpass any
thing heretofore discovered. Cody
is not counting very much upon
these latter discoveries. He expects
TO get his satisfaction out of explor-
ing q new country, and getting the
atmosphere of civilization entirely
ont Of his lungs. The expedition
will be gone about three months.

We are earnestly listening to hear
Of some move towards internal i'm.
'provements' in our. parish. Why"can
we not have a cotton seed oil mill :?
What is to prevent? We have the
seed in abundance, We have water,
we have fuel to supply all demands.
Our seed we have to ship with heavy
freight charges to other more enter.
,prising places to find a sale; and
strange to say, no man can be found
with public spirit(and money! enough
to start up this enterprise which
every one knows must be a grand
success. We ought, in fact, to be
able to dispose of the entire cotton
product. That is, On establishment
should be inaugurated in which the
cotton is bought in seed, taken d.
srectly from the seed and such spun
into thread, by which the value of
the lint is doubled, if not more than
doubled. And We might even go
further and have the thread woven
and thus have manufactured right at
home our own cotton goods, We
would have the cotton seed cake left
for manure, md above all, could
have our own olive oil, and our but.
teer which We would know to be
2ure-product Of the cotton seed.
