was thinking of his gloomy prospects
he noticed, for the first time, that the
statue was keeping step by his side, and
he turned on her with smothered rage.
"Well, he began, Il hope you're salts

"Well," said Leander, "they aren't

"The youngest wept; was it because

II shouldn't wonder" he returned

The statue slowly pointed to Leander
"he has vowed himself to me-he is
mine!"
Matilda, after staring, incredulous,
for some moments at the intruder, sunk
with a wild scream upon the sofa and
hid her face.
Leander flew to her side. matilda,

Matilda rose and repulsed him with
sudden energy. "How dare you!" she

He stood there moment longer, look

His fate was too strong for him. No

WEATHER.CROP BULLETIN.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING APRIL % 80.

The temperature and sunshine for
the past week have ..been normal.
From Monday until "Wednesday the
weather was warm ami c%loudieS>. and
outdoor work uninterrupted. enabling
farmers to put the ground in thorough
condition. On the latter date the pre-
vailing dryness was broken by general
rains which confirmed until Friday
morning. giving the heaviest fills that
have occurred in this state since the
memorable storm of August. 1888.
The moun at New Orleans measured
III inches !: Hammond. Clinton,
Donaldsonville. Schriever. Jeanerette,
Paincourtville and other stations in the
central and southern portions of the
state reported falls ranging from four
to over six inches, with less heavy falls
generally throughout the northern
parishes.
The excessive rains founl the fields
we'll worked, and errors were greatly
refreshed. especially on the ~uplanaS
and in rolling country. Small streams
overtlowed their banks, causing Il
temporary i%nunda'ion of the lowlandS,
but the water soon ran off without
damaging any crops, except in oadiy
drained rice fields, where it worked
some slight injury.
Cotton is up, and will 500 be ready
for the hoe. The general opinion
of correspondents remain unc' arged
as regards a probable decrease III the
acreage.
Corn was hoed during the early days
of the week. but the rains following
naturally interfered with this work.
The crop has been greatly benefited by
the wet weather. Worms have cut
down the stalk in some localities.
Plant cane was suffering slightly for
want of moisture, but is now in SPLEEN
did condition. The late rains may
change the verdic. of a poor prospect
for sIubble Is yet it has not pro-
crossed to any promising extent.
The late rice crop presents a more
favorable appearance than the early
plant, having escaped the severe
March weather. The crop will be
generally benefited by the rains, ex-
cept in the badly drained fields already
mentioned.
The prospects for frnit remain as
heretofore repolt ted short of a fair crop.
Figs, although killed by eaily %fros-s,
are coming ont again. and will take a
small crop.
