SHE WAs EXCUsABLE.

A London paper relates queer Incl
dent that happened in a Welch church
the other Sunday. The rector began to
rebuke his people in severe terms for not
attending Sunday morning service, and
impartially included his own daughters
in the rebuke. "Whereupon. to his as
tonishment," says the story, "up jumped
one of his daughters and told the people
that her father was man who. when he
first woke, could not rise unless his hot
water was brought and the towel was
placed under his nose. She related how
boots had to be cleaned, fires lighted and
the breakfast prepared, and then went on
to describe how the worthy clergyman
required his book and his coat and his
gloves and his hat anG his stick and-his
cake and his wine before he was ready
to start to his work. This was all detail
ed with minuteness and volubility. The
reverend father kept no servant, and
there was the household work to be done,
and, besides. he insisted upon a hot din
ner served with punctuality. Under
these circumstances the lady pleaded,
was it possible for her to get to worship
on Sunday morning? The sympathies
of the audience were with the daughter"

BUSY TIMES AHEAD.

From conversation with planters
who have recently visited this city,
The Item is impressed with the belief
that great deal of money will be
spent in new and improved machinery
throughout the sugar district gener-
ally. The experience of the past sea-
son has apparently left no doubt upon
the minds of any of them old fashion
ed and insufficient methods of extract
ion and sugar making must be thrown
aside, or in the present sharp competi-
ton the result will be failure.
1t would be much more economical
however, could groups of neighboring
planters unite in the Central factory
system capitalizing that as separate
business and selling to it their cane;
but we find in the minds of many an
apparently unconquerable opposition
to giving up their individual sugar
houses. 1t comes nigh but they will
have the luxury.
Under either system of improvement
however New Orleans foundries and her
skilled mechanics will be called into
active service; and it is pleasant to re-
alize that through this local medium a
large part of the bounty which the
government is to pay the planters will
find its way back into general circula.
