The trial of part of the Hennessy
murderers was concluded in New Or
leans Friday last week, and resulted in
a mistrial for part and acquittal for
the others. The opinion was that the
jury was influenced by bribery or fear
of the Malta organization, to which the
accused were alleged to belong, or by
both Next day the citizens to the
estimated number of 1900 met at
Clay statue and determined to lynch
the prisoners. The number swelled to
about 10000 defore reaching the jail,
which was broken open, and eleven OF
the prisoners killed: Rocco Gerachi.

TIDES GENTLY.

The New Orleans correspondent OF
the New York Times says that the
monthly drawings of the Louisiana
Lottery will soon be discontinued, and
the company will look to its daily
drawings, which scoop up about $l0,-
coo from the proper pauper) class
every day as its source of revenue.
This same correspondent also charges
that capital prizes are never drawn ex-
cept by dupes of the Lottery, who
have hitherto received $500 for their
affidavit. In some eases as much as
$1,000 have been paid for affidavits,
but now $3.50 is the price.-Opelousas
Courier, March 7, 1891.
Until the anti-lottery9osA 4 law was
enacted, the columns of the CIV papers
contained numerous advertisements Of
affidavits that the affiants had drawn
large prizes in the Lottesye but here
we have statement that the prizes
were not really drawn, but the false
prize-drawers were paid to swear to
lies In the face of such a statement
is it surprising that people should
think and believe that the Lottery
uses fraction of its illgotten money
to corrupt legislatures and subsidize
the press; is it surprising that, with
such a powerful agent of corruption as
the Lottery controlling or making an
effort to control the entire political
and governmental machinery of the
State, the better element of the peo-
pie should come to believe in the corS
ruption OF all departments of the gov
ernment, including the judiciary and
jury, in the near future, unless the
Lottery is abolished9 All the evil the
Lottery has done in the past twenty
odd years is not known; but enough
is known to make ordinarily honest
people stand aghast at what it may do
in Twenty-Five years more if it secure
lease of power. Out of its own
mouth shall it be condemned for such
may be considered the item above
quoted. When such an item gains adj
to the columns of an advocate
of the Lottery, how great must be the
opposition to it outside of the Lottery
press.

A crevasse occurred in the levee
eight miles above Canal street, New
Orleans, on this side of the river, last
Monday night. 1t was caused by the
bursting or blowing out" of a rice
fume, which had been made under a
law passed at the last session of the
legislature. This fiune was an iron
pipe 20 inches in diameter, laid twen-
,ty-two feet below the top of the levee.
In less than twenty-four hours the
'crevasse was over forty yards wide, and
the country as far as the eye could
reach was covered with water four to
six feet in depth, on the river side OF
the Pacific railroad track and about
three feet behind it. The roar OF the
water running through the crevasse
could be heard mile. There was a
cataract of about six feet, which will
gradually be reduced from erosion blythe
the water and its increasing depth
outside the river. In the river OPP
posite the crevasse was a maelstrom
where drift wood was collected and
shot through the crevasse. There is no
probability of closing the crevasse be-
fore the river falls The Pacific rail
road track is about three feet higher
there than that of the Morgan road ;
consequently the latter road is bound
to be submerged to the width OF the
section of country covered by the
water. The passenger train due here
last Wednesday was several hours late,
caused by reported Wash-out in the
road. The damage done to planta-
tions there is bound to be great. This
creyasse may prevent others but the
uneasiness of living behind leyee
must be considerable. Before the
days OF levees, the water ran over the
low places and left the plantations on
the higher ground above overflow but
now a crevasse is just as likely to happen
on high place as On a low one. When
the river is low, the levees are of no
use when the flood is great, they al
ways break somewhere. 1t is Sc
rious question, whether the good the
levees do, on the whole, counterbal-
ance the damage caused by their
breaking. But the leyees are one OF
our idols.

Browns Valley, Mimi, March g.
Hundreds Of Indians belonging TO the
sisseton and Whapeton tribes gather
ed here from the reservation all day
yesterday and last evening, and took
part with the whites In celebrating
the opening of 100000 acres of the
finest agricultural lands in South
Dakota. The whites rejoice at the OPP
portunity to secure land valued at $40
$50 an acre under the homestead law,
and the Indians because the treaty
gives them over 100000. The
Great Northern will be extended across
the reservation from Aberdeen, and

SPRECKLE@S the great sugar man, has
farm of 800 acres in California on which
he raises beets exclusively. His manner
of preparing the soil and cultivating the
crop may not be Improbable in view OF
the interest taken in beet culture at pres
ent in this section.
The ground is plowed deep and is then
we'll narrowed. The seeds are planted in
rows ID inches apart. Sometime 1t is
necessary to soak the seed. When the
beets have put out four leaves they are
thinned out by hand. leaving the plants
about six or eight inches apart IN the
rows. This thinning out process costs
from Sc to $40 per acre. The cultivating
Is also done by hand and must be kept
up steadily SO as to prevent weeds from
growing.
When it comes to harvesting the beets
a pillow is used to loosen them. They are
then pulled and placed in piles, when
they have the tops cut off and also that
portion of the beet which was exposed
while growing.
A sample of each carload is sent to the
laboratory where it is tested. The fac
tory allows 81 per ton for beets testing
II per cent. and SOC. per ton for each ad-
ditional per cent. The farm yields on an
average IA tons OF beets per acre. 1t is
quite evident, however, that there is con-
siderable expense attached to the raising
of beets.
