N. o. Picayune: With the acreage planted and

reason why Louisiana should not produce bumper
crop. The largest crop yet raised was in 1894,
when the yield was 317 900 long tons, equal to
$4,000 short tons of 1000 pounds each. Some
authorities believe that the present crop will reach
that total, and possibly exceed it by small
amount

Man is progressive. Instinct and impulse are
restrained in him by reason. He makes mistakes
and corrects Them He has been by turns hunter,
herdsman, and tiller of the soil. He has made
his home in caves in huts in tents and in palaces.
He has added knowledge to knowledge, and mas
tered the forces of natuIe with the power and sub
tlety of of his mind Advancing civilization and
ripening culture have refined his nature, softened
his manners, and elevated his thoughts. He has
achieved peace and learned its value. He is more
and inclined to spare his enemy to protect the
helpless and succor the weak. He is making the
whole world neighborhood, and so his life
abounds more and more with power and beauty

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Ones descriptive powers would be strained to the
breaking point were he to attempt to describe what
is to be at the great Worlds Fair at ST. Louis.
The Exposition is surprise for even those who
anticipated being surprised. Here in the gigantic
buildings is display Of manufactured articles and
natural products never exhibited before. There
no lack for room, and the spacious grounds
surrounding each structure are typical of the count
less products they present The Worlds Fair
builders had practically unlimited space to work
with, as the grounds cover two square miles.
All of the civilized world, except Russia, is rep
resented in this unparalleled display of its labor,
enterprise, ingenuity and indomitable genius. The
immense buildings are all full of interesting and
instructive exhibits. All manner of machinery,
wonderful farm products, varied industries, valua
beautiful pictures, paintings, sculpture, &C.. which
seem without limit, present revelation of the
worlds resources and genius-a grand demonstra-
ton of unbounded wealth, power and beauty.
The ST. Louis Fair is the largest ever held in the
worlds history, and sets such pace that it is not
probable that the attempt to excel it will be made,
not in generation, at least 1t is SO large that the
inauguration is fatigued by the thought of its inn
mensity and the task of viewing even small part
of it. We should all go to it, however, for it is well
worth seeing. It represents an outlay of about
S5O, 600. Never before have so many Of the
products of the world been crowded together as at
such comprehensive, stupendous showing of the
worlds progress in all lines as there The Fair
properly seen is an education in itself.

I" The Maryland Line"
BY j. D. M'cABE, JR.

BY j. D. M'cABE, JR.
By old Potomac's rushing tide,
Our bayonets are cleaning;
And DER the bounding waters wide
We gaze, while tears are streaming.
The distant hills OF Maryland
Rise sadly up before US
And tyrant bands have chained our land,
Our mother proud that bore us.
Our yroud old mothers queenly head
Is bowed in subjugation;
With her children's blood her soil is red,
And fiends in exultation
Taunt her with shame as they bind her chains.
While her heart is torn with anguish;
Old mother, on famed Manassas plains
Our vengeance did not languish.
We thought of your wrongs as on we rushed,
Mid shot and shell appalling;
We heard your voice as it upward gush'd,
From the Maryland lfe-blood falling.
No pity we knew! Did they mercy show
When they bound the mother that bore us?
But we scattered death mid the bastard foe
Till they, shrieking, fled before us.
We mourn for our brothers brave that fell
On that field so stem and CORY;
But their spirits rose with our triumph yen
To the heavenly realms Of glory.
And their bodies rest on the hard-wou field
BY their love 90 true and tender,
Wen keep the prise they would not yield,
Wen die, but wen not surrender.

Patronizc Home.

Lake Charles Press: There is so much golden
truth in the following that we find floating round in
newspaper circles with only the signature Eek
attached, that reproduce it. Read it prayerfully,
and obey its precepts promptly:
Patronize your home institutions. Patronize
your home merchants. Patronize your home news
papers, and your home printing press They have
the right to your trade help support and assistance
over and above everyone else. Home patronage
builds up. Mutually in business is the thing
Help those who help you. Patronizing outside in
dustries takes money away from home that is needed
at home. And it is appreciated more at home
Help those who help you and there is no regret
Let us be brothers in business. Go hand in hand
and We'll all have our measure of success. Face
to face with your customer leaves for error;
face to face with the dealer gives place for dis
satisfaction. Patronize home people,"

the answer did not appear candid. Mr..

Lord Dalhousie Brought Famous Stone
From India to ENGLAND.

Lord Dalhousie's name will always
be intimately associated with the
famous kohinoor diamond, and the
story Of how he brought 1t from India
to England has been retold in one Of
the new books. In lS49, after the
second sikh war, Dalhousie confiscat
ed the stone on account of the heavy
debt owing the East India company
by the Lahore state. Dalhousie sent
it to Queen Victoria. Great care had
to be exercised in carrying it across
India. THE tassels OF the armlet, in
which the diamond was set" says the
account, had been cut off to dimin.
ish the bulk and Lady Dalhousie had
inclosed the armlet with its Jewel in

into belt lined WI chamois leather,
which Dalhousl lie wore by night and
day. Two dogs were chained to the
