An Irishman's Brilliant idea.

Some Irishmen are naturally stupid.
but their mistakes at times are SO hui
morous as to provoke laugh, which
makes one forget the more serious part
of the error. Recently a son of Ireland
went out rowing on the lake at fa-
nous summer resort. A stiff northwest
wind came up, and, not being skillful
with the oars, in short time his boat
shipped considerable water. A brilliant
idea then seized him, and, taking the
butt end of the oar, he battered away at
the planks in the bottom of the boat,
finally knocking a hole in them. For
tunately for him a steam launch with
a pleasure party aboard came along and
rescued him as his boat sank. Upon be-
ing asked why on earth he drove hole
through the boat he replied: AN
phwat else would yez do? Sure the
boat was half full of water, an so
knocked hole in the bottom to let il
out; but, yez see, there was so much
more water in the lake that the little
bit of stream in my boat had no
chance to get out."-Harper's Round
Table.

One Way of Finding a Scotsman.

It is related of successful Glasgow
merchant that, sight seeing in Paris
once, he lost his way. For considera-
BILE time he wandered about trying to
get back to his hotel. The hours went
by. He never could speak French, and
his Glasgow English only brought a
smile and shake of the head. "Oh for
a body wi guild Scotch tongue in his
head!" he sighed. Then came happy
thought. By signs he bought basket,
measure and berries of trim French
woman, and, shouldering his stock,
went along the street shouting: "Fine
grossets, a bawbee the pine; fine gros-
sets, bawbee the pine" The crowd
laughed at the mad Briton, but the ia
miliar cry soon brought some Scotsmen
on the scene, and the merchant was
able to retire from business and smoke
his pipe in the bosom of his family,
thankful that he had found real Scots.

- - 49, ~ 0C~O'
Editor Louisiana Planter: The Iumor
mentioned IN my last letter regarding the
invasion Of the province Of Matanzas by the
insurgents has since been fully confirmed and
after crossing the province in It's full length,
despite the troops Gen. MARTINEZ Campos had
placed in the way. and whose resistance they
either evaded or oyercame, Maxine Gomez
and Maceo, with forces whose number is
adversely estimated between 10000 and
10000 men, are now threatening to invade III
a like manner the province Of Havana.
The offensive, Unexpectedly assumed by
the insurgents, who opened the campaign a
fortnight prior to the date Marshal Campos
intended to initiate his envolvlng movement,
and the success that has hitherto crowned
their efforts, has taken everybody by surprise,
and caused profound CONSERVATION all over
the mercantile circles, paIalyZlrg business
to such All extent that no transaction s,dtsplte
the favourable advices received from abroad
during the past few days, have cen reported,
the war matters absorbing public attention,
inasmuch as Marshal Ccmpos has messed the
|totality of the troops he can as yet dispose OF
along the borders of this province IN order to
oppose the advance of the insurgents IN case
they should try to enter that of Havana and
destroy the sugar factories and railroads, as
they have already done III the eastern and
central regions of the island. +.
Prospects of the Crop: The hopes OF
roaping in the province Of Matanzas a large
crop to compensate for the decrease III other
localities lave now totally vanished away,
owing to the unexpected invasion by the m
surgents of the important districts ofMacagua,
Banaguises, Bolondron Colon, C%oliseo, Cardenas
Jovellanos, Macatriges. Cervautes, and others.
Maxine Gomez and Maceo's bands, besides
laying waste on their passage and destroying
q large number Of railway bridges and sta
tons, tearing up a considerable extent OF
tracks, have either totally destroyed the
buildings or burned the cane fields OF the
following plantations and factories; Andoz,
Amistad, Ammonia. At,evido, Algeria, Alava,
Angelica. Antonio, AntiIla, BataIIa, Carmen,
Coloso, Chucha, Diana, Dolores, Espana,
Flora, Flor de Cuba, Olimpo, Poninn, Santa

Victoria, Santiago, Perla, Santa Maria, Luisa,
Elizalde, Guabaleii, santa Huralla, Coliseo,
Santa Rita, Anguedita Managuises, and many
others in the province of Natanzas and else
where.
In the province Of Santa Cllra several
plantations and tenancies were burnt, name
": Five tenancies whose cane is usually
ground in factory Cieneguita, Mt Obrens, in
The district of Cienfuegos: buildings of farms
LosDelicios and of plantation Dolorito, at
Sanoti SpirituS.
The insurgents have also commenced to
burn cane in the province of Saint Yago de
Cuba. and between said place and Guantana-
mo about TOGO acres of cane have been des-
troyed by fire, comprising fields belonging to
the following plantations. Los Canos Soledad,

UNION WINDMILL SUGAR FACTORY,

Mr.. James, Of the above well known es-

Of his yearly crop He crushed, altogether,
in his little factory, $50 tons Of canes, which
yielded iii barrels Of sugar, this being
a great improvement Oh the returns of last
year, owing to a change in the head-atocks
and a new mode of COMPRISING the skim
mings. Last year, in the December quarter,
So tons of canes gave only 81 barrels Of
sugar. This year the same quantity Of canes
was crushed in the corresponding quarter,
and the result was 70 barrels Of sugar.-a
very material increase. OF the total amount
of $50 tons Of canes, l47 tons were grown by
Mr.. James's rner.neighbours. All the
sugar was SOLD locally. The factory, we may
mention, has a green megass furnace, which
works so well that no fuel is used save the
megass. As we have remarked on former
occasions when referring to Mr.. James's fac
tory, we heartily wish the colony possessed
hundreds of a similar kind,-ArgOsy.
