The Diffusion Process.

The process Of making sugar by diff
fusion is now mM .tait GccompL This
means for the sugar producing parish
es OF our State, in the near future, Il
condition of financial prosperity not
enjoyed by any other people in the
United States. The yield of sugar per
acre has been SO augmented by diffu-
sion that there is more money in the
culture of cane than in any other agri-
cultural product known to man. What
we need now is more labor to bring
into cultivation the abandoned plan
tations interspersed throughout the
sugar parishes, and we want besides,
live men with capital sufficient to put
up diffusion plants that will consume
all the cane that can be grown in the
country.
In this parish the production of SUI
gar can be increased five fold with
proper and sufficient plants for the
manufacture of sugar. With proper
encouragement we ought to get in this
parish two thousand sturdy and indus
trious immigrants in less than two
years. This addition in our popula-
tion would double our sugar crop and
give a permanent value to our lands
at double the price they now COM
mand. We cannot now shut our ewes
to the fact that Northern and Western
capital is being largely invested in the
South aud that in IL comparatively
short time, white immigrants will fill
up, not only all tile available waste
lands but will, i'll many instances, be-
| come the proprietors of many of our
best appointed plantations.
Had we emulated the example of
Calcasieu we would to-day boast Of ali
Increase Ill our white population of
| over two thousand tillers of the soil.
Not only are our lands adapted to cane
| culture, for truck-farming has taken a
foothold in many sections of our pa
rish, and is growing satisfactorily.
Therefore, it behOOves not only the pa
rocl,iai authorities but individuals as
well, to do something in the way of
offering proper inducements to the
! honest and Industrious immigrants
who are looking southwark for their
homes. And right here we desire t.
point out the proper method to pursue
so far as the sugar planter is CONCERN
ed. Let the plantations be divided
into farms and sold to that class of
immigrants. who can and will buy
such places. Such division, in nine
cases out of ten. will make the planter
rich and still leave him unrestricted
as u manufacturer, in which capacity
he will be in good trim to add to his
wealth, and need have no fears OF the
political demagogues who, for politi-
cal advancement, delude the poor ne
groes into the belief that they ought
to strike for higher wages every time.
Il crop has to be harvcsted.-Ibervill

PRESS PRIVILEGES.

BERLIN, March 30.-A rupture in gov
eminent groups arising from their dis
agreement on press penalties is certain
unless The bill is materially modified. The
national liberals declare against the bill
aud the free conservatives are ready to as
sent to any repression though there are
symptoms of reaction. The Cologne
Gazette, Msgdeburg Gazette and those
who are apt to criticise, admit that under
the law there can be no freedom of dis
cussioR and say that the liberals are iusti-
fed in coslescing to resist the bill. These
comments have given rise to reports
that commission of the bundesrath has
greatly modified the bill. 1t is unlikely

Sedentary Habits.

In this age of push and worry the bust
ness man and the professional man are
alike unable to devote any adequate time
to exercise. In the daily round of toll
and pleasure no suitable provision Ia
made for that important function, and
the result is that men of sedentsry habits
become subject to many forms of all
ments arising from torpid or sluggish
liver. Constipation, sick headache, bilious
ness and dyspepsia are all due to the i'm
proper action of the liver. DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets cure these
troubles by restoring the liver to its
normal condition.

Newspaper reporters are capable
enough, as a rule, for the work required
of them; but long experience shows that
the impromptu speaker who has his spur
of the moment remarks written out before
they are made has the best showing in the
papers the next day. It is because
speaker knows what he wants to say, while
listeners do not know what he has said.
