OBITUARY.

On Friday. June 9th, A. D. 1892, Mrs.
Martha Bass, wife of A. G. Stewart of st.
Landry, departed this life, at the age of
about 73 years. She was native of South
Carolina and for goodly number of years
was deyout member of the Methodist T..
Church. During the latter years of her
life her mind became impressed with the
necessity of immersion, as the Scriptural
mode of baptism, and possibly preferring
the sectarian doctrines of the Campbeilite
or Christian Church, she withdrew from
the former and united herself with the lat
ter Church, member of which she died.
The couple had reared q family consisting
of four sons and two daughters; both these
preceded her to the better world, leaving
her the four sons, all of whom are well
known, industrious, sober and honest men.
The good old lady had lived happily with
her surviving husband for period of over
fifty wears. Their lives had been harmoni-
Gus They had lived and toiled for each
other. What charming example to 9th
ers; what splendid illustration of the
beauty and superiority of the sacramental
ordinance of marriage! He is bowed down
with age and grief, perhaps the worst COM
panions attendant upon humanity. The
world is all behind and eternity before
him. to be entered upon. possibly at no
distant day. His acquaintance sympa-
thize with him and the family, but God
alone may soothe the pangs of the wound
ed, crushed heart. She left us from her
quiet home on Turkey creek in the parish
of st Landry, where her remains were laid
to rest Her illness had been of short du-
ration. Friends ehanted their farewell
hymn as she first stood ON the walls of Iii
on; viewless spirits attended upon her
emaneipated and winged spirit as it took
its fight, and the blessed Redeemer said,
welcome, good and faithful servant, to
that mansion not made by hands, eternal
in the heavens, where God reigns and bliss
is everlasting. A FRIEND.

Mechanical Properties of Soils.

The property Of absorbing and re-
tanning moistur is important. CLAY
loans and peatx soils absorb the larg-
est quantity of moisture and retain It
best, especially those. .peaty soils which
have.a large excess Of organic matter
in them. Pure clay soils are generally
too4compact, while sandy soils are too
loose either to absorb or retain mois-
ture. On level clay soil the water will
stand, and become stagnant. This is
the case, also, with sandy or peaty
soils, with clay subsoil. Under these
circumstances draining is necessary.
The air should be allowed to cireu-
late freely through the soil. 1t carries
the elements of plant food contained
in it to the roots. Carbonic acid gas
and ammonia are both furnished in
this way. to considerable extent. It
promotes the decay Of vegetable mat
ter present, and thus again provides
food for plants. The proper chemical
changes in the mineral elements of the
soil are promoted by the carbonic gas
and the oxygen Of the air. How nee
essary, then, that the soil should be
we'll ploughed and well pulyerized

A writer in the Jennings Reporter

in what appears to be a careful estimate,
calculates the increase in property vaI-
ues in Calcasieu parish during the last
4 six years at twenty millions of dollars,
4 mainly the result of immigration. In
1 the course Of time the State assessor
twill ssget on to" this wealth and list it
/ for taxation City Item
4 With certain class there seems to
be but one object in the people acquir-
! ing property, that it may be taxed.
i This State is tax-ridden now, and has
been for a quarter of century at least.
/ II immigration, dense population, eaus-
| es wealth, the most popuious countries
should be the richest and happiest, per
| capita but it is Just the contrary.
While such countries have many mil
| lionaires, they also have hordes of pau
pers of which sparsely populated ceun-
tries are entirely. free. We fail to see
4 the real wealth in the artificial increase
in price of land, caused by the struggle
| of madN people to get possession of a
flittle land; this increase in price
will not make the land more produc-
| tive, while more people have to live
on its produce. Taxation in this State
ought to be reduced many offices that
are useless ought to be abolished, and
the enormous salaries of others curtail-
ed. Taxation is an evil, and should be
restrained. ~ ...as#sF=.,. .ss.sz
i The government official crop reports
that have been giving such favorable
reports ofthe crops, that had already
been greatly damaged by excessive rain
when the reports were published, will
come along after awhile and tell about
the damage from rain. Corn that was
planted early and laid-by the last of
May and first part OF June, is very good,
except in low places where the drainage
was bad late corn is very poor. The
cotton crop has not been worked for
six weeks or more, excepting what little
was done during few days last week
when there was no rain; there will
hardly be more than half of an average
crop of cotton, for much of it has been
lost in the grass and
weeds, and all OF it has been greatly
injured by the rains-where it has
grown, it has produced very little fruit.
The rice cropis excellent and there
viii probably be dry weather at harvest
time.
It seems our neighbor, the Courier,
our little paragraph on the
legislature into a defense OF that body !;
4 legislature with an anti-lottery ma
ority that deliberately filled the cir
,uit courts of this State with lottery
Judges, can get no defense from us.
However, the Courier's complaint,
that "it did not provide any means of
the revenues of the State to
the amount of one million and two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
year." it can well afford to stand. Thel
people of this State are already taxed
too much for useless expenditures,
without having to stand another raise"
