The late General Charles Sargent used
to tell a good story in which himself and
the late A. Minor Griswold, the famous
humorist, were the leading figures On
one occasion Sargent and Griswold went
over to Covington to take part in jolliH-
cation. In some manner they lost track Of
the main procession, and organized pro
cession of their own. Sargent was the com
mander of the procession, which consisted
only Of himself and Griswold. The pair of
ways marched up and down the street, and,
it is possible, made more noise than was
consistent with good order They went
through all the evolutions with which they
were familiar, Sargent giving the com
mands.
An ofIicous policeman arrested them,
and the next morning they had to appear
before the Judge on the charge Of disorder
ly conduct. Mr.. Sargent acted as the
counsel for the defense. He seemed in
spired by the situation and made most
skillful argument I'VE were a process

general; "it is true that there were only
two of u.s. but the law does not say how
many persons it takes to compose pro
cession. 1t can be either two or 1000, so
far as the statute is concerned. 1t is essen
tial for every procession to have com

ty know that your honor will agree that
it is also customary to have music on such
occasions. and, as there was no band to be
had on such short notice, Mr.. Griswold
furnished it by whstling and singing.
Mr. Sargent made such an ingenious plea
that the judge released the two friends on
their own recognizance, and reserved his
decision. Hisopipion hasnever been handed
down, and Charley Sargent used to say that
/ it has never yet been decided how many
people it takes to make procession.-Cin-

The Best Kind of Baskets.

A general mistake is made about baskets
most people supposing that the white will
low basket is the best. It looks best, but
it is by no means the strongest. The white
willow slips are cut in the fall and kept
green all winter by packing their stubs in
wet sand OF water and when spring comes
the bark peels off with twist of the hand.
The buff baskets, on the contrary, are made
from dried willow slips, which have been
steamed and then peeled. While not 50
handsome, they are much stronger and will
wear far longer than the white.-New York

Since the above was in type the tele-

THE BERING SEA CONTROVERSY

The London Times Of March , con-
tanned a remarkable editorial on the
Bering sea controversy. The position
was then taken by this organ of the
British government that there need be
no haste about signing the arbitration
treaty between England and the
United States, because the modus
vivendi would necessarily be renewed
Tor the present season. Since this
article was printed the "Thunderer'
has entirely changed its tone, evidently
in response to instructions from the
British foreign office.
The New York Press thinks that
Lord Salsbury's prolonged delay in
answering the presidents communities
ton indicates the purpose of the Tory
government either to persist in its re-
fusal to renew the modus vivendi or to
delay signing an agreement for pre-
serving the seals until it will be toe
late to be effective. Large numbers OF
the Canadian seal poachers are already
on their way to the waters of the
North Pacific to shoot seals. Theil
fleets contain nearly twice the number
of vessels that had sailed northward a
this time last year. Unless the repl!
of the British government comes be
fore many days the United States vii
be obliged to take efficient measure
for enforcing seal protection.
A British member Of parliament ha
written to the st. James Gazette eN
pressing the hope that England wi
not insist upon her claims in BERN
sea because they involve the annihilG
ton of an industry valuable to tn
human race. This view of the case

Practical Farmer Called.

A correspondent has communi-
cation in this issue wherein he de-
nies that corn can be raised in
North Louisiana at a cost of 10
cents per bushel. He has done
some figuring on the question, and
his result places the cost at more
than double that asserted by our
practical farmer. As the question
has been raised, an assertion made.
and a denial entered, we will now
ascertain which is correct, and if
our informant is, it will be a reve-
latlon which will shed the lustrous
light of prosperity on the farming
interests of this and other States.
We are sanguine of being able
to maiptain our position taken last
week, as we have behind us a man
who never speaks idly. We will

why it was made necessary for the

that one of the members of that

Az Regards the r---lmproved Ag-

The expense account, as in all
businesses, has been quite an item
with the farmer, and has been the
means oftentimes of reducing his
income below the cost of making
the crops. OF this expense that
of labor constituted quite an i'm
portant part, while that of mule
flesh and feeding same was by no
means a small quota, it usually re-
quiring about one hand and mule
to work twenty acres of corn. But
the improved agricultural imple-
ments have wrought wonderful
Improvement in this line, as we
know of an instance where three
hands are tilling THREE HUNDRED
ACRES of land. This we assert ad-
visedly, and in it are supported by
one of unquestionable veracity, on
whose farm the work is being
done. With such information as

cents per bushel, to cultivate one

small calculation, with a ready de-
mand for both pork and corn,
there is no reason why prosperity
should not perch on every hilltop,
stalk across every field in North
Louisiana.
These articles are not visionary
conclusions drawn on paper simply,
which flee as soon as a practical
test is put, but are based on real

men who have grown prosperous
from their practice, and who have
some time ago practically settled
the matter.
In them all, there is no one
which is more beneficial than these
labor-saving implements, as they
will greatly aid our farmers to be-
come independent of the democrat
lied negro labor.

Catch and Punish Them.

Some brutes seem to have a
propensity for throwing rocks and
other missils at passing vehicles OF
al kinds. On several occasions
the Belt Line cars have been
troubled in this manner, while
coaches on the V, S. d. z. and Y.
o. Z. and on the S. q H. have been
likewise dealt with, besides being
fired at with pistols, etc. Of
course this is always done in the
night time as dastards always do
their work after the sun has set.

ger and sleeper of the L. q p.

rocks which shattered the glass

was done in the very heart of the
