HER TEARS WERE Nor O THE
CoAT.-A wealthy cabin passenger
who landed from the Arizona on Sun
day, and who for his wife's sake does
not care to have his name published,
tells the following story
"On Wednesday night when | turn
ed in my berth | found myself very
restless, and about 2 o'clock on Thurs
day morning, being still unable to
sleep, I determined to 60 on deck and
take a smoke. l dressed myself, and
a. itawas blowing rather hard, l carried
with me a well-worn light summe
overcoat that l had not used in a long
time. As the breeze, though strong,
was rather warm, however, l had no
need of the coat. so | looked about for
some place to lay it down until l had
finished my cigar. Then l noticed
how shabby it was. and l held it up by
the collar, wondering whether l had
better throw it overheard or keep it
until | reached New York, and give it
to some poor man. A sudden gust of
wind decided the question for me. It
filed the old coat like a balloon, drag
ged it out of my hand, and carried it a
quarter of a mile to leeward. I
thought it rather a whimsical incident,
and at breakfast l tried to make my
wife laugh by telling her about it, but
did not amuse her at all. On the con
trary, she was SO distressed that she
hastily left the table lest any one
should see her sorrow, and when |
followed her to our stateroom l found
her in tears.
81 was very much astonished. Be-
tween you and me she is a more thar
ordinarily sensible woman. and it
seemed impossible hat the loss of a
WORKOUT overcoat should have thus
opened the fountains of her grief.
"'Oh, James, she said, Il am not
crying for tic old coat, but (sob) there
were $500 worth of lace that | had
bought in Belgium stitched in it's lin
ing. knew you hated smuggling, SO
i didn't tell you about it Boo-hoo.'n

BOunties in Louisiana Planters.

In a summary Of the applications for
sugar bounty in Louisiana it is ascer-
tanned that the Catfrey Central Sugar
Refinery and Railroad Co. has made
the largest application, which was for
100000 pounds, and the smallest
that of j. NJ. White. of Lincoln parish.
who proposes to make only 500 pounds.
The total number of applications is
7O4, aggregating 550,611, 900 pounds
or an average of 792,25O pounds to
each planter. These are maximum es-
Inmates of the amount to be raised,
Deputy F~ontelieu thinks that some
where near 400, OOO, 700 pounds will be
the actual crop raised. The sugar
bounty allowed by the government is
two cents a pound, and even at the
o estimate the amount to be re-
ceived by the planters of the state
will be So, 1000, 900.

at $1.05 per acre. 1t has to be sown
about once in seven or eight years,
and produces good seed in about two
years. 1t requires no work whatever
except the cutting and thrashing, and
can be used as a pasture a part Of
the year.
On my way to this place | passed
over a good part of the Interior Of the
state. A long drouth has prevailed
which has injured the corn badly, cut
ting it very short. The drouth is now
coming to an end, but to late for corn
to derive much good from the present
rains. The wheat here is very fine
and oats are good. Wheat is yielding
as much as 80 bushels to the acre, and
is of a very fine quality. 1t sells so
cents per bushel.
As an iGea of farming here, l will
state that on the farm on which l am
writing this communication, there has
just been trashed 1000 bushels of
wheat, and 5000 bushels Of oats. This
farm was worked by two brothers with
one hired man, and occasionally a lit
tie extra assistance.
The crop of fruit in this portion of
Indiana is almost a failure. l have
seen no such peaches, since l left home
as were grown in Thibodaux this year.
Apples are few in number, unsound,
and fall from the trees before ~ripening.
The cherry and berry crops are said to
lave been very good.
notice:numerous orchards in which
there are no fruit whatever. Melons
appear to be plentiful in the towns,
but whether they are grown in the Vi
entity or imported ! have not sought
any information.
But little is said on political ques-
tions. It is an off year in Indiana, and
of course, but little excitement is prev

BILE on the political whirlpool is the
fight being made by one wing Of the
Republicans against the other wing.

of the Old Settlers of my native Coun-

should go for the bendit of the common school fund.
 In the winter oi 1889 and 1890 We had the Wyoming law introduced as d bill in Congress and for the benefit oi Ari- zona. After very considerable struggle ws obtained favorable action by the Public Land Committee of the Senate, and also of the Committee on Territories in the House. Mir. Dorsey, of Nebraska, had charge of the bill and promised it's passage on certain day. The day of it's promised passage we were before the Committee on Territories, and much to our surprise found that Mir. Christ, Mir. E. Cameron. Mir. Y. +. Will son aided and abetted by Mark Smith our misrepresentative in Congress were opposing the passage ol our bill and did defeat it, as Mr. Struble chairman and other members oi that committee will certify. Had Mark Smith not joined with my personal enemies the Wyoming law would now be our law, and our com m ,n schoo! fund would be many thous- ands of dollars better off.
 Not only has Mark Smith not done any good in Congress, he has actually stood in the way of Arizona's receiving benefits in at least two cases. His efforts to kill the innding of our Terri tarial endebtedness by limiting the life .. ta, yhAp hA hata l. that the effect would be that the bonds could not be placed.
 Then his action in this bill to lease the school lands for the benefit of the school fund.
 In each of these he has cost the Terri | tory thousands of dollars and not one dollar of good has he done Arizona in all the years he has been honored by Arizona.
 Of course the leasing of these school lands would have placed actual settlers in many places on the PeralIa, the San Rafael and other land grants or so- called grants. It is not to be wondered then that MT. B. Cameron and his friends should have been found oppos- ing the measure; and it may be only coincidence that has caused consider able inquiry of the Surveyor-General of Arizona from Sythiana, (Mark Smiths old Kentuckey home) about lands under the Peralta grant, but coincidence or not, there are very significant inquiries from Marks old home; as any one can learn on application to Surveyor-General Johnson at Tucson.
