JAN. T.-The adjoufnmen, Of congress,

Of some man who To- 0p has been promi.
nent In public life, has been so frequent
at this session that the abOlishment Of the
custom is being seriously talked Of in con.
gressional circles. Said ex.Speaker Reed
on the subject: at strikes me that this
adjournment business is carried too far.
II is all well enough In certain instances,
but in others 1t is simply ahollow mock
cry that taxes the form of an excuse TO
shirk work." Representative Burrows, of
Michigan, said; "The meaning of these
frequent adiournmenis is that the house
does not intend TO do any business at this
session. But they do no harm, for the
democratic party is always safe when go
ing to funeral" Representative Stew
art, Of Illinois, asks this conundrum: 1T
we adjourn twice a week on account OF
somebody's death when the population is
only 60,OOO0 900, how many days will we
be in session when tbara arc tan tim.s
sixty millions and the prominent men in
crease In proportion" The question may
be shirked now. but sooner or later Il will
have to be met and settled. and there ia
only one common-sense way to settle it.

The plan of sinking wells for irri-
eating purposes is being seriously
considered by many of our planters
ard there il l"tle doubt bnt that a
test will be made as soon as the har-
vest season has been brought to a
close. There are numerous advo.
Gates Of this system of irrigation and
as for ourselves, we believe it can be
made a success The sinking of
such a well means a considerable
expense for drilling and piping, else
we believe there are those who
would have given it a trial before
now. But if the well should prove
a success it means a big thing for
the farmer In not only guaranteeing
him against a total failure in dry
seasons, but assuring an increased
yield over what might be expected
from natural rainfall. If it should
prove a success such a well would be
cheap to the farmer at triple lis
probable cost. We hope to see
some of our most enterprising plan
tiers take the initiatory steps. feeling
confident that in SO doing they u

Last Saturday evening there was
quite a ripple Of excitement at the
prison, occasional by the attempted
escape of q convict named John
Lamhertson, who with q number Of
others was being Brought from the
levee below the oil mill to be locked
up for the night. When opposite
the front Of the prison the convict
made a break for liberty by darling
out of the ranks and running towards
a yard gate of a residence on the
west side of the street. The cap.
tain and guards ordered him to halt,
but instead of doing so he continued
bis fight, leaping over a child as be
did 50. After repeated commands
to halt, and seeing the convict about
to escape, one of the guards fired
and wounded him so severely that
he expired in about ten minutes in
side the walls, where he was carried.
His body was bnried in Potter's
field at the Magnolia GENE terry, and
thus terminates, we presume, one OF
the bloodiest chapters in the criminal
history of this State. The deceased
was sent here to serve a life sentence
for the murder Of a Gypsey and bis
wife who were camping in st. Mary
parish. There are many Of the
opinion that the nan had become
insane since his trial, as a few weeks
previous to his death he had at
tempted suicide while at work in the
factory by plunging the blade Of a
pair of scissors into his throat. He
recovered, however, after a short
time, when he was transferred to the
levee gang.-B. r. Truth.

A good deal of rice is coming to

amount is being stored, the farmers
preferred to await developments, be.
lievlng that better prices will rule
a little later on. To this presump-
ton We believe they are correct as
there is no reason to think that the
crop will prove to be over a third oil
a one as compared with gast year,
while on the other hand there is
reason to think that il may prove to
be even less. But very few planters
express themselves as favorable to

THE FIGHT.

The Senatorial fight has now got
into such shape that it does not look
as if Senator Don Gallery was such
a dead certain winner as he looked
q few months back.
Senator Gallery, to a certain ex-
tent, has gained some strength
among the city delegation, though be
seems to have lost a number of votes
in the country. While it seems to
be a general opinion that the coron-
ership matter has thrown some few
votes to Mr.. Gallery, it seems to be
conceded that barely one.half Of the
city delegation will 60 to him, while
the other half is unsettled and may
be placed afterwards.
So far the positions in the custom
house have been filled almost exclu-
siyely by parties from the country.
Those places in the mint. under the.
superintendent, coiner and melter,
and a few places under Collector
Wilkinson have been given to per-
sons selected mostly on recommen.
dation of those favorable to Senator
Gallery. Those places filed by Col-
lector Of Internal Revenue Carter,
and some few by Collector Wilkin~
son have been recommended by per-
ous who favor Congressman Blan-
cbard.
While it is thought that Collector
Wilkinson favors Mr.. Gallery, the
fact remains that he harbors a little
senatorial bee in his own bonnet and
has not appointed with as much eel
Gritty as was expected Of him. At
any rate the Collector is looking ont
dor Mr.. Wilkinson as q dark horse,
and ii would not prove such a great
surprise if he manipulated things
generally on his own account and
stood to hold considerable power.
Congressman Blanchard has a
strong element Of strength, it being
whispered that in his behalf, Col.
Hollingsworth, of Caddo, has made
or is making a combination with
Congressman Boatner, Francis Peter
Stnbbs, Of Ouachita, Hunter, of Ra.
pides, and others Of North louisa

Among tie city politicians, one
can hear no small amount of talk
upon this highly important suhjectof
the senatorial contest. City leaders
say but very little, and what they do
say. is to the effect that they are
getting mighty tired Of the delay
