i VOICE FROM eau LARGE"

Mr.. EDITOR: As you seem to be
interested in the condition of the
crops, and other items sppertaining to
country life, | take the liberty Of
writing you the news from this section.
eau Large, you know, is that mys-
terious region towards which Catherine
Coles ."F'ather John stretched his
broad, kind hand,' indicating all the
distant, dim horizon. That is to say,
eau Large" is neither town nor ham,
let, but the intervening prairie, dotted
here and there with green islands con-
tanning peaceful country homes.
Just at present our farmers wear
anxious faces, and indeed the situation
begins to look serious There has
been no rain to speak of for seven
weeks, and all vegetation is suffering
greatly in consequence. In some
places where the corn was planted
early and is now tasseling there is no
appearance of ears on the stalks, and
the crop will be a failure.
Cotton seems to stand the drought
better, and where the plant is up it
looks hardy and green. But, unfor-
tunately, there are great number of
planters who waited until the latter
part of April, and on into May, before
sowing their cotton; therefore, having
had little or no rain since, the seed
has never sprouted, and the crop, if it
comes up at all, will be too late to
bear abundantly.
Up to date there is no indication of
change; the atmosphere is dim and
hazy. This, the prophets say, is sure
sign of dry weather. Even the frogs,
those musical twilight songsters, no
longer greet our ears at nightfall with
their monotonous croak | suppose
they have all hoped off to the swamps
and marshes; the hills eau Large" be-
came too dry for. them.
Last Sunday took trip TO Caren-
cro-that is, to the neighborhood that
borders on the rim of the "beau basin.
This is one Of the most beautiful 10
calities in the parish. The great
basin is a fertile valley stretching from
the Carencro hills to Bayou Vermilion
Before the war it was too marshy for
cultivation, but It is now the cenler Of
numerous prosperous farms. 1t also
contains several mineral springs, and
these are frequented during the sum.
mer by pleasure parties from far and
near.
Fearing l may. tire you with this
long letter, | will close; and | hope
that the next time / write there will
be no drought to write about.

RELIGION OF PRESIDENTS

The Louisville Courier Journal, IN
answer to a correspondent asking the
religion of the various Presidents,
saws:
The United States has had twenty
three men for President, including the
present incan bent Geo. Washington
was communicant in the Episcopal
church. Adams was the son of Puri-
tan parents, who left England to en-
10Y religious freedom in The wilds of
America. 1t was intended by the pa
rents Of John Adams, when they sent
him to college, that he should become
a clergyman in the faith of the Puri-
tans; but he soon found himself too
much OF free thinker to feel at ease
in the rigid pulpit of t-lat day. He
was often called Unitarian, but OF
dogmatic theology he seems to have
bad very little: Jefferson was an
Episcopalian. In later life he was the
originator Of the Charlottesville Uni
versity, of which he was chosen Rec
tor-an office he held until just be
fore his death. Andrew jackson was
q real Blue-stocking Presbyterian, and
proud of his faith. Martin Van Bu-
rem was a staunch old Hollander, not,
we believe, comnrunicant in any
church, but through his Holland blood
connected with and adhering TO the
granite base of Presbyterianism. Will
liam Henry Harrison, the grand father
of our present President, was de-
voted i1piscopalian. Polk was of
Scotch Irish descent, and had the
blood of the Covenanters in his veins.
He was not connected with the church
of his fathers during his administra-
ton, but was baptized on his death
bed. Pierce was Presbyterian. So
was Buchansn. Hayes was devout
!. member of the Methodist Church,
Garfield was member of the Christ
ian or Campbellite Church, both by
choice and inheritance. Arthur was
the son of Baptist clergyman, but
was not, himself, a communicate in
any church. Cleveland was the sor
of Presbyterian dominic, was Dot
Church Member while in Office, though
both he and Mrs. Cleveland were
quite regular in their attendance a
the services in the First Presbyterian
Church of Washington City. There
is saying that "Ohio and Presbyte
rianism will have to shoulder the re
sponsibility Of the present administra
ton, however it may turn out" Har
rison is ruling elder in the Presby
terian Church, and has formed cab
met of decidedly Blue color-fv'
members of the cabinet, with himsel
as its official head, being members of
| or through their wives attendants a
the Presbyterian church. 1t is Gu
rious fact that out Of oil the Presby
terrain Presidents Harrison is the onl.
: one who is Republican.

In his remarks before the Louisiana
press association, which met at Thi-
bodaux Monday, Gen. Leon Jastrems-
XII, the president, in reviewing the
history of the association, called at
tention to the fact that there were but
twenty-one members present at the
first meeting, whereas the roll of the
association now showed over 100. Moro
than half Of the members were present
at this meeting. He spoke of the
ladies and gentlemen who had been
naost conspicuous in forming and aiding
the association, and spoke Of those Of
the members who had been lost by
death. He referred to how much the
press of Louisiana had done for the
state by pointing out her resources.
and how much the press association
had done for the papers throughout
the state by bringing the editors to-
gether and making them better ac-
auainted with each other.-Shrsveport

Epoch.

The transition from long, linger>
heg and painful sickness to robust
ulalth marks an epoch in the life of
the Individual. Such remarkable
event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good
health has been attained is gratefully
blessed. Hence it is that SO much is
heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So
many feeI they owe their restoration
to health, to the use of the Great Al
terativs and Tonic. If you are trou-
bled with any disease of Kidneys,
Liver or Stomach, of long or short
standing you will surely find relief BY
use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 5Oe

A GIRLS STRANGE JOURNEY
[St. Louis Globe Democrat. ]


An old man of eighty years and q
maiden of perhaps Is summers who
passed through here last night, en-
route home to Carthage, Mo, are tho
principals in the following strange
story: 80
The old gentleman, whose name Is
Bloomfield, owns a farm near Car
image, Mo-, and with him lived his
granddaughter, whose parents were
killed in the cyclone that devastated
Mansfield, Mo, several years ago.
The girl attended school at kirksvil!o
up to four months ago, when her
health broke down and she went home.
She recovered from her bodily infr-
nifty only to become insane. Sudden
ly she disappeared, none knew where;
and not till week ago did Mr.. Bloom
field discover her whereabouts by the
receipt Of letter from the missing
girl, stating that she was living with
a family named Wilson, near Mullins
vile, Pratt county, Kansas. Mr.
Bloomfield lost no time in seeking his
grand daughter, and was told the fol-
lowing story,
One night, three months ago, a. rdr.
Wilson's family were about to retire
for the night, they were startled by a
knock at the door. A young girl
stood upon the threshold and asked for
something to eat. She was invited in
and meal provided, Of which she
partook in silence. As she showed no
disposition to leave bed was provid-
ed for her, and she was asked to re-
main over night In the morning it
was evident to her hosts that the girl
was insane, and they concluded to de-
tain her until her friends could be
found. But enquiry proved fruitless;
and thus the girl remained until sud
denly one day, about week ago, she
sprang up out of the chair in which
she was sitting and asked where sho
was @
/ Mrs. Wilson was startled, but soon
discovered that the girls lost reason
had returned. She called her hus-
band, and together they related to her
the strange circumstances Of her arrl-
val. The girl seemed dumbfounded.
She could recall nothing after her
spell of sickness, but her memory was
perfectly clear up to that event. As
she sat in the depot last night she
talked as intelligently as any one
could desire, yet she had not the faint
est idea of anything that occurred at
ter her illness. How she managed to
make that long trip from Carthage,
Mo-, to country farmhouse in West
ern Kansas, eight miles from the near
est railroad, will probably always re-
main a mystery. -

Onion parties are fashionable in

while one bites small chunk out of

he is only allowed to kiss the one
with the onion-scented breath. This
