showed he was embarrassed at be-

The Postmaster took the enve-
Iope and gazed long and steadily
at the address. Turning to the
clerk, as he pulled at his gray mus
tacbe, he said: ~ will take care
of it,"
1t was like any ordinary letter
in every respect save one. 1t was
properly sealed and stamped and
had been received from the morning
collection in the regular manner.

address read.
The writing was evidently that
of little child, and the painfully
traced letters seemed TO denote
that the writer was some little girl
who had lost her mother and had
sought this means of conveying a
message Of love to her.
1t portrayed "A beautiful, trust

plainly that volumns could of the
heartaches and warnings of some
little one, so lonesome "since

The Times Democrat says: On
the Wilson plantation, near Ope-
lousas, yesterday afternoon, a
stone weighing eight pounds,
which is supposed to have drop
ped from the heavens, Was found
buried eighteen inches in the
ground. Persons who saw the
stone fall dug it up and brought it
to Opelousas. They report that
about 5 o'clock a great noise, as Of
cannonading, was heard in the
clouds; then terrific roaring
sound wss formed, and the stone
fell from the cloud. AS it was
seen coming through the air those
who saw it it FASTENED to the place
where they saw it fall and dug it
out. The stone is evidently CON-
posed almost entierly of irono
or some other mineral.

After perusing. the following
article from the Sodus News, it
would seem that our farmers would
diversity their crops even more
than they are now doing, for as it
says, We have Cotton but once a
year with the possibility Of failure !;
fruit and vegetables at all seasons
with no fear of total failure. As
each small crop natures there is a
cash market for ito sale, and as
one variety rapidly succeeds an
other, 1t means cash to the far
mer the year round, instead of
waiting . twelvs-month to realize
on cotton, and then most likely
the proceeds 60 to lift last years
