CROP REPORT.

We have received from T. S.
Adams, State Commissioner, the
crop report Of the Louisiana De-
partment Of Agriculture for the
month Of October, from which we
copy the following:
COTTON.
Since my last report, one month
ago, which indicated q shortage of
eighteen per cent, correspondents
reports show = further decline in
yield Of two per cent: aggregating
to this date twenty-four per cent
less than last year. There have
been, during the past thirty days,
local rains, retarding picking, rs
well rs considerable frosts, check
ing the maturity of the top crop,
and damaging to some extent late
crops planted on overfiowed lands.
Heavy and unprecedented move
ments Of cotton have been mis-
leading ard indications now are
that the crop will be one-!ifth less
than that Of last year.
SUGAR CANE.
The outlook for . splendid crop
Of sugar & syrup is very flattering.
A humid summer, followed recently
BY cool, bracing weather, SO nee
essary for the maturity Of the canes,
indicates that the yield Of this crop
will be unprecedented. Should the
hopes Of the planter be not DASH
ID up by an early wet spell, follow
ID by . freeze, he will realize !
arge margins on his csne crop. |
Dark columns Of smoke eliminate
laily over sugar houses in the cane
,elt, showing that push and energy |

by good prices.

When the people OF that county speak
in its praise, it is not Is provinciais speak

They are from every state in the Union

They know that fruit and the vine grow

on the prairies, that cotton is not only
king but kngiy in otner states, that the
air is pure in other countries and that
water is clear in other streams, but they
also know that ali of these blessings are
combined in the great P. G. c. country;
that the sky, as blue as that OF Italy's
cline, bends whom streams as pure as
the rivers OF Damascus flowing through
soil as rich IS Egvpt's valley. 1t was

ROSA BONHEUR.
HOW THE FAMOUS ARTIST APPEARS AIs|xTY-N|NE.


PARIS, Oct. 26.-Rosa Bonheur sees few
people; she will be 50 years old next March;
her health ID not robust and ingrained in
her nature is shrinking from too ,lose
contact with humanity which reminds one
of the timidity of wildness of her own deer

be permitted to call on her, coming even
from people for whom she feels respect and
esteem, may be met with courteous apollo
Ries; stranger has little hope Of reaching
her presence. and an invitation to seek her
out in her country retirement in the little
village OF BY at Thomery is something al
most unheard of.
You may imagine, then, the surprise with
which yourg English girl now painting in

most awkward handwriting informing her

to see her at noon on certain day in Sop
