A Louisiana Plantation,

In 1871 and '72, on the Greven,berg
plantation, bayou Teche, parish of st,
Mary, thero was n colony OF Creoles
working on the share system-twelve
families, 100 persons, about twenty
five working hands, not negro work
ing in the colony, in house or fold.
They cultivated about 500 acres OF
land, twenty acres to the hand, and
sent to market in two seasons SAC, 900
worth of sugar and molasses.
1t would be large estimate to cal
culate the fold hands on the plauta-
tions and farms in Louisiana in 1860
at 175,OOO. The Grevemberg COLONY
made $500 to the hand for two wears.
besides making corn and feed for their
teams and poultry and hogs, aud N ost
of the food for their fnmilies. Their
women paid their grocery accounts in
chickens and eggs and vegetables. If
all the field hands Of the State had
done as we'll, they would have sent
TO the market $l40,00O,0O0 worth of
staple produces besides n aking rico,
tobacco, hay, corn, potatoes, peas,
beans, vegetables, fruits, ETC., for home
consumption. The doctors bills,
their physician stated, did not exceed
$lOO year for tho colony.

Col. ID, X. Norris Seriously Ill.

It. har been learned here that COL D..
X. Norris, Of Pendleton, has been the
victim Of partial stroke Of paralysis,
depriv.ng him Of the use OF the right
aide Of his face. Few particulars have
been received Of the unfortunate afllic-
ton. Colonel Norris, who was ono OF
the three Clemson College Trustees who
went to Starkville. Mississippi, to ex-
anime into the State Agricultural College
there, was stricken while at sStarkvilie.
He was brought home by his colleague,
Col. II. w. Simpson, and reached PEN
dleton last Thursday. 1t is stated that
his physicians, whilo not being appre-
hensive of Immediate serious results
from the stroke, prescribe for the
patient absolute rest and quiet and free
dom from excitement.
1t is supposed that this unlocked for
and sudden illness will result necessarily
in the withdrawal Of Colonel Norris
from the race for Judge Cothran's seat
in Congress from the Third District, in
which he was fairly entered. Colonel
Norris being prominent Farmers
Movement man and an active Alliance
leader, was regarded asa strong candi-
date, and his enforced withdrawal, SO
much to be regretted, would probably
make decided change in the outlook. -

Annie Fisher, a handsome young girl,
apparently about 16 years of age, was
found in hallway OF a Butler street
house, Pittsburg, in a comatose condition
at an early hour Monday morning by the
people Of the house. Shs was taken to

and 1T ls thought she tried to COM
NIT suicide. A romantic story has been
developed in hor case. Some time last
week she made her appearance in Pitts
burg dressed in boys clothing and appl-
cd at v&rieus places for work. As ahe
looked the sinple country boy to per
lection, lady living on Stanton avenue
took pity upon the friondless boy and
gave him temporary home at her house.
The girl could not have haG her dis
guise penetrated had it not boon for a
moro accident. Having had occasion to
wash cup while sitting at the table she
went and got dishcloth for the purpose
The lady who had befriepded her hap
pensd to notice the manner in which she
twisted tho dishcIoth as she was
wringinG it out after washing the cup,
and at once became convinced that the
supposed boy was girl and taxed her
with being in disguise. The girl
thereupon brake down and made com
plete confession. She claimed that sho
had run away from her fathers farm near
Franklin, Pa. Her mother had died
some years ago. She claimed her father
had not treated her right, and she donned
boys clothing and ran away.
