wards pitched it on bis wagon and
again carried or pushed into the cor
ners of his barn, when he had one. to-
day he rides in the field with a mower
and cuts the grass, then with a rake
he piles the hay into rows, follows
with a hay loader. that picks up the
hay and places on his wagon, and
when he reaches his Darn, a tackle ele-
Yates it from his wagon and deposits
it any part of his barn that he desires
to place it.
Instead of casting his small grain
over the earth by handfuls, he now
simply walks along and turns a crank.
which reyolves a sower, that distIi-
butes his seed far more regular and
uniform. aud where he used to follow
a pillow, and drop his corn from the
hand, and then cover the seed with a
hoe, to-day he rides on his s'planter''
and does all the work better and at the
same time.
Where he used to haul his products
over rough and muddy roads for miles
and miles to a market, now he drives
over a turnpike road a short distance
to a railroad depot whence his produce
is transported to its destination.
One man will do double the blowing
that he did, he will cultivate four
times the quantity of corn, and wheat
aud hay, and lie will harvest ten times
the grain that he formerly cut, and a
wheat thresher will do the work in one
day that twenty men could not have
done in one month, a half century ago.
The old hewed log houses have be-
come a memory of the past, and large.
comfortable, aud pretty dwellings have
taken their place. The stables that
were made of round logs. between
which the cold winds half froze the
stock, in the winter, have given way
to large, warm and pleasant barns in
which the horses, the cattle, ana the
sheep are secure from the billiards.
and cold waves from Montana.
And the same transformation is yisi-
BILE in the domestic animals. The long
boned COW, the rasor backed hog, the
poor sheep, and ordinary horse have
all disappeared, to make room for bet.
ter and more profitable breeds. that
are easier kept, and are worth fives
times the amount in value.

4 EIckle Adonis Steals Away in the
Early Morning.
Miss DEvILLARD OF THIBoDAUX,
DISAPPOINTED BY HER LOVER, Fol-
Lows HIM TO FRANCE

About the quiet precincts Of that
ancient hostelry. the Strangers Hotel.
located at 131 ChaItres street. there
hovers a mystery that even the giant
arm of the law has been unable to
fathOm for the past three days at
least.
a little over a week ago there ar
rived at the hotel a young Partisan,
direct from France, named Alexan-
DIRE LIE R0ux. Handsome as an Adonis
from every point of observation, in
stature about ) feet 8 inches a face
effeminate w for the jet mustache
that gracefully eurled at his uppec
lip lips Of coral hue hair of let !:
cheeks with the tint of the blush rose.
and manner profoundly Partisan.
His affableness and faculty for re-
counting matters pertaining to his ma
tive land won for him many warm
friends at the hotel.
LIE Roux was on a mission, however,
and it soon leaked out that he lad
been in correspondence with a young
lady of Thibodaux and intended going
there for the purpose of bringing her
hither and marrying her, after which
he and his bride would go to Paris his,
home.
He remained at the hotel a day or
two. and packing up his few traps de-
parted for ThIbodaux. He had not
been there but a day or two when the
hotel proprietor received a note from
him asking that three rooms be reserv-
ed, as he would be down with his af-
fan ced and her uncle and occupy
them.
Saturday, the register at the Strang-
ers' Hotel indicated the names Alex
andre LIE Roux. Mr.. Verrier and Octa-
-ie Devillard. The party had arrived
and a happy party it appeared to be.
The fond uncle looked with pride up

of the lover seemed to be fixed eter-

The marital irrespective was discus

ed.
All during Monday, lie Roux gave no
indication that he intended an escapade
of any kind on the contrary. the
approaching event seemed to give him
more bnoyancy, and he was in the
best of spirits.
As night approached, the party, in
company with Mr.. Gaudet, the hotel
proprietor, sat and chatted pleasantly
until the hour became late. when all
retired TO their respective apartments.
Tuesday dawned and the bride-elect

would have to be initiated. He said
he supposed so, and all he asked was
not to be hard on him. We said we
would not kill him, and from that mo-
ment, we determined to have some
fun with him. and we did.
For the first two or three nights. we
did not bother him. but II morning
he woke up, and found himself entire
~ changed. SO far is the color of his
face was concerned, tor he was as
black as the ace of spades. He soon
found out that it could be easily wash
ed off, and then he said that if that
was all they did, it wasn't much.
That very night his toe was pulled
almost off, and he woke il the middle
! of the night to find himself tangled up
in a lot OF rope, and lying OF the floor.
He showed off to advantage in the
following. The lamps in the study
hall were oil lamps, but he was told
that they We're gas, and that the boys
took turns in getting to gas. One
evening lie was called, and told that
it was his time to get the gas.
He SAID he would 60, so he was Civ
Ell twenty-five cents and a water buck
ct. and told to get two-bits worth of
gas, and to bring back the change.
He took the bucket. walked up to the
Principal. and said professor give me
two-bits worth of gas. here is twenty
five cents, please give me the change"
Professor looked ut him in astonish-
ment. and said, "You should not allow
the boys to fool you in that way''
Dolby (that was his ~nick-namel came
back land reported what Prof. had said.
VT told him that he prof. meant that
some one else had already got the gas
He believed il, and we then said that
there was fun in store for rs.
A few days afterwards. F. one of the
boarders, got into a fight with one of
the tewn boys. and Dolby was told
that the boys would have to raise a
subscription to get f. ont of his trou-
bic, and if he dolby would be so
kind as to go around with the sub
scription list. He said he would, and
off he started. Every one of the boys
subscribed. and when it was time to
make the collection. one of the boys
volunteer ed to collect the money while
Dolby would check off the names.
Something ike $3.50 was supposed to
have been collected, and Dolby want
ed to count the money then and there,
but that would not work, for some
plan had to be arranged, by which he
was to be kept from finding out about
there not being any money collected.
