The New York correspondent of
the Picayuue tell this sad tale Of q
once beautiful Louisiana girl:
On February l2, last the dead
body Of an unknown woman was
found in one corner Of an old car.
penter shop in Brooklyn. The face
Of the corpse revealed traces of for
mer beauty amid unmistakable
ravages Of dissipation. There was
nothing whatever to establish .iden.
tity. An autopsy showed that
death had resulted from alcoholism,
and the remains after being viewed
by many persons. were buried Id
the Potter's field. Yesterday af.

unknown was his sister.in law, Af
ter long search for her he had
heard 'about the finding and burial
Of the body and had secured a per.
NIT for it's disinterment. By Ger.
lain marks and BY the cIo.hing,
which had been preserved, lie iden.

The maiden name of this wreck
was Louisiana Harper. She hes
longed 10 a good family III New
Orleans and was beautiful, highly
educated. and much admired as .
belle. Her parents we're impoyers
ished BY the war and came North
after hostilities ceased. Herein New
York she married printer named
L'Hommedieu, who lived in the
Eastern district O. Brooklyn. How
she got started on a downward
career is not known, but one By one
she alienated her friends, and at
last her husband, unable to live with
her any longer, obtained a separa.
ton. From that on she was fre.
quently arrested for drunkenness,
and she had not been long out os
the penitentiary when she crawled
into the old carpenters shop to die.

The preparations already going On
for next years rice crop, veri.
fes the prediction that the acreage
planted will be very much greater
than that of the present season.
Many have commenced work or laid
their plans Tor increasing their pres.
ent fields by erecting new levees
and taking in more ground, and the
number OF new fields in prospect is
legion. And it is safe to say that
with the experience our northern.
farmers had this seasoh, under fayo
rabfe circumstances next years crop
will be Of higher grade. The ma.
Jority Of them were without expe-
rience and they worked OF a disad..
vantage. Some did not make pro.
per preparations for holding water.
and in TACT many levees were not
up in time to catch the spring rains.
or else were so constructed that
they would'not hold what they did
catch. Others did not get their
seed put in properly, an extremely
large number used a poor grade of
seed, while many fields were cut
before the crop was ripe. And
those who were under the impress
sion that June planting was a sure
thing, have learned that it will not
do to depend upon. Experience is
often a dear teacher but it is gene
rally the best, and what our farmers
have learned this year they will
most probably remember. But with
all our drawbacks, Calcasieu parish
will market this season q larger
op-by at least fifty per cent than
she has ever done before, and we
believe next year the proportionate
increase will be at least as great.
Our farmers are satisfied with what
they have 50 far accomplished, and
are taking hold with renewed ener.I
=
gy. Those from the North 6nd
farming here much more profitable
with less labor, and with but com
paratively little danger Of failure. /

To be just to the administration
which has broken every civil-service
pledge it ever made, which has
trampled the reform under foot and
hustled it out Of tho way, it must be
said that the people have not con-
demued it. The administration and
the country appear to be as one re-
garding the reform. Neither cares q
pins fee about it, and If the one
fiouts it tho other disregards it. Then
why should tho administration and
It's organs set up pretense that it
yearns to accomplish civil-service re-
form, that it is fond Of it, and admires
it? The pretense is sham and q
lie, rs everybody knows. The organs
deceive no one by their pretenses,
