A large number of Northern peo-
pie are spending the winter at Ham
mond, and many have purchased
property and contemplate making
that town their future home. There
are over forty houses IN the course
of erection, and improvements are
seen ON every side. Around Ham
mond there are about 200 acres In
strawberries. The average earnings
is over $500 per acre. The shipment
of early vegetables has commenced.
Ouachita Telegraph: State Lee
turer Guice scored q good point in
bis address before the State Agricul-
tural Association when he said that
bale of cotton when manufactured
is worth to the world from 5000 to
$40, of which amount the producer
receives about two dollars and half
He said that cotton is making every
body who handles it rich except the
farmer and he urged the farmer to
combine and manufacture their own
cotton. These are golden words,
which ought to be reiterated by every
friend of the South.
Plaquemine, in Iberville parish, is
said to be the great lumber depot Of
the State. It is situated on the Mis-
sissippi River, exactly 10 from New
Orleans by river, and IS miles over
the Texas and Pacific Railroad. It
has population of between 1000 and
5000 inhabitants. The vast swamp
to the south of the town is rich in the
most magnificent timber of cypress,
oak, gum, ash, and also grows the
'tupelo gum" a variety of corkwood
much used at present in the manu-
facture of packing boxes and trays
because of its extreme lightness and
durability.
A special to the Times-Democrat
dated Arcadia, January Gath, says:
Another lot of immigrants came in
tonight. Some few have arrived
every night for the past week. Ad-
vices from along the line of the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
railroad, between Monroe and Shreve-
port, are that large number of peo-
pie are daily stopping off at the vari-
GUS stations. Many are prospectors
from Alabama, Georgia and Missis-
sippi, who come to look, and all who
see this country become q drummer
for it, because they are so highly
pleased with what they see. IF the
land owners will only hold the price
of land at a reasonable figure, the
immigration movement is a success
without doubt.

Commissioner Rusk Proposes the Intro
ductlon of Foreign Fruits.
WASHINGTON, June 3eth.-Secretary Rusk
has made number of improvements since
taking hold of the Agriculture Department,
and intends making more. His attention
is now directed to experiments in different
sections of the country towards raising
fruits now imported. The northern farm.
eIs have not been overlooked, for the De-
partment is endeavoring to introduce the
hardy fruits of Russia, and are also trying
to get the agricultural colleges to take the
matter up, with every prospect of success.
japanese plums are intended to be cult
waited in the South. They are large and
better than the ordinary plum. A large
importation of Bahia oranges was recently
made, and will be distributed among the
orange-growers of Florida and California.
For good many years the olive culture
has been carried on in California, but it
was only- very recently that, through the
efforts of the Department, it was made
profitable, and now an attempt is to be
made to introduce 1t in the South Six
thousand trees have been furnished to sew
eral large plantations in that section.

1t is Rumored that Hon. John a. Hald-
erman Will be Appointed.
WASHINGTON, June 30th.-The Sunday
Herald says there are unusually potent rea-
sons for believing that Hon. John A,
Halderman of Kansas will be appointed
United States Minister to China. Thus far
Kansas has had no prominent recognition
and the Republicans of that State are be-
coming somewhat impatient. The nomi-
nation of General Halderman would settle
everything and be acceptable TO both Sen
ators as well as members of the House OF
Representatives. So far as his qualifca-
tons and fitness go, the President would
make no mistake in appointing General
Halderman as Minister to China
As Counsel-General, and finally United
States Minister to Siam, he made a record
OF exceptional excellence. 1t happened
that while in Siam he won commentator
and received the personal thanks of Ii
Hung Chang, the Chinese VicerOy, for
making vigorous fight in favor of some
imprisoned Cinnamon at Bangkok. There
is no man we can recall who in knowledge
of the Chinese character added to the
favorable impression of Ii Hung Chang
who could do his country more real service
IN China than the Hon. John Halderman

EXULTANT NEGROES.
They Are Incensed at the Editorial
Writings of Captain Dawson.

They Are Incensed at the Editorial
Writings of Captain Dawson.
CHARLESTON IS. c., June 30th.-The ex-
ultation of the negroes at the acqui tai of
Mellow, for the murder of Captain Dawson,
is said to arise from their antipathy to Cap
tain Dawson. Some time ago white man
committed an outrageous assault upon a
negro girl in Pickens county, and was
lynched by a colored mob. Lynching is
invsriably the punishment of such crimes
in South Carolina. Some of the negroes
were tried and convicted. Dawson es-
poused their cause in the Ne1cS Courier, and
the convicted men were pardoned. In
commenting, however, on their cases Daw-
son made an unfortunate allusion to the
chastity of the negro women as compared
with whites. This is said to still rankle in
the breasts of the colored people, and the
feeling was intensified by the stand taken
by Dawson at another time when a white
man killed negro. Another reason was that
Dawson was prominent Democratic
leader. II is averred that upon retiring the
jury Immediately balloted, all voting for
acquittal. 1t is said they afterwsrd re-
manned out two hours discussing the case.
This, only a rumor, however, may be re-
gsrded by some as the onlv redeeming
feature in the transaction. There is great
Indignation among the friends of Dawson
and many others.

ST. PAUL, June 30th.-A somewhat IN.

has yet to be met by the Sioux Commits,
sioners. Sitting Bull, the willy old warrior
seems to have been quietly scheming tc
blockade the work of the Commissioners
He is at the Standing Rock Agency. A

One Mrs. Wilder, widow whose home
is at Newark, n. j., for some time has been
at the reservation and has been much fas.
cinated by the old Chief. Mrs. Wilder and
Sitting Bull have arranged for a trip to the
Rosebud Agency. Sitting Bull wanted tc
stir up trouble there for the Commissioners
but being unable to get leave without per.
mission, Mrs. Wilder undertook to gel
leave of Agent Mclaughlin, and was re-
fused. STalghtway she became enraged
threatened to secure the agents removal
and continuing her threats, was ordered by
he agent to leave the reservation.
