NOTES.
--It is stated that more wheat was raised
in North Carolina this y(ear than in any year
since 1835.
--"I will never call for United States troops
until every man in Ohio has been whipped."
IGov. Young.
-An international congress is to take meas
ures against the phylloxera and Colorado
beetle, the destroyers of vines and potatoes.
-In the Paris papers it is announced that
the authorities are closing the cafes in the
provinces, and in some instances even cattle
shows are intordicted and agricultural socio
ties dissolved.
-Most of the summer resorts on the Maine
coast have suffered for the last fortnight from
the constant fogs which have settled down on
them. The seaside camp meetings haveoeen
similarly afflicted.
-The importation of potatoes from Amer
lea has been prohibited by legislation in (Gr
many and France and also in Belgium. on ac
count of fears that the Colorado) beetle may
be introduced abroad.
-The export of Icelandiic horses to Eng
land is increasing, and promises to be very
profitable to the breeders, these horses in
volving very little trouble or expense. and
fetching a comparatively high price in Eng
land.
--The Cincinnati (bunnnerci-l (Republican)
says, in view of the late railroad disturbances,
it might be as well to let the South simmer
for 'awhile, at least until an era of goxod will
has been established in the North. "The joke
is on the North just now. Let the South
alone." That Is all thoe outh asks.
-Strange as it may appear there is a differ
ence in the deadliness of the smoke of differ
ent cities. The plane tree will flourish in
Lo.don smoke, and is there generally adopt
ed as a shade tree, while in Manchester it
positively refuses to exist. The linie. how
ever, can stand Manchester smoke, and will
probably be the shade treo of that city.
--The Pittsburg ('Pa.) (hrnmrcia( (,'zrlttfi
says that the pieop.le of that city have long
been laboring under a sense of wrong inflicebd
by the 'Pennsylvania Railroad on account of
freight discriminations. It has been found
cheaper, for instance, in shipping g()ods from
l'Pittaburg to Boston, t(o send theim to Cincin
nath and have thlia sient dirtct front th'ere 1o
the latter city.
-The Philadellphia sohliemrs car'ited homen
with them very rough looking pieces of bell
metal, warleod and crushetld by firue. They
were relics of the nmemorable round-holuse.
When the building was lired the locomotives
were twisted by the flames and the bells nmelt
ing the mndal ran down upon the boilers.
The citizens of Pittsburg and the officers of
the Pcnnsyivania Railroad Company lropose'
having meials umad(e from similar pieces of
metal to present to the soldiers who figured
in the rouni-house affair.

The French Exhibition of next year,
says the London 1Wiorld, will have some
specially attractive features. There is
to be a grand central avenue, in which
the buildings allotted to the various na
tions are to terminate, the frontage of
each representing some remarkable his
torical building of the country to which
it is assigned. Thus the facade of the
Belgian section will represent the splen
did Hotel de Ville of Brussels. A cas
cade will flow down from the Palace of
the Trocadero, cross the Seine in con
duits, and supply water for the ma
chinery of the exhibition on the Champ
de Mars. It will be surrounded by four
colossal groups of statuary, personify
ing by groups of animals the four q(uar
ters of the world. Europe has been in
trusted to M. Cain, Africa to Fremiet,
Asia to ,Tacquemart, and America to
Roullard.
A German shoemaker in Houston,
Texas, named Albert Meyer, walked
into a house occupied by negroes on the
7th and commenced firing at a black
woman named Caroline Smith, giving
her a slight wound in the hand. After
lrin' the second shot he turned and
tired on a black man named Alfred
Perkins, giving him a painful wound in
the arm. Meyer then walked out on the
street, pistol in hand, and was arrested
and locked up to await examination.
The Aye says that at the court-house
Meyer's actions were more like a de
mented than a sane person. He did not
appear to realize what he had done, but
sat watching the crowd that followed
him to the place with a senseless leer.
Switzerland has not as many foreign
visitors this year as it generally has.
Lace mitts are more fashionable than
-they have been for years.

be the largest she ever produced.

The police jury of Baton Rouge has
appropriated for current expenses this

in seven months, whereas in the past
seven months the present has spent
only $5800.
The cotton worms, we regret to learn,
are rapidly making their appearance in
this and adjoining parishes. We learn
that they have appeared in large num
bers on Red river and on Mr. Jeter's
plantation on Soda lake in this parish
and fears are entertained that they will
do serious damage. A correspondent
writes us from Homer, Claiborne parish,
that the cotton caterpillar or army worm
has made its appearance in vast num
bers in the locality of Athens in that
parish, on the plantation of Mr. J. A.
Aubrey,jand that Mr. A. is confident
that all of his oldest cotton will be de
stroyed in ten days or perhaps sooner.
The caterpillars are over the whole par
ish of Rapides. Some planters are
using Paris green, while others are
waiting for the next crop of worms,
which they consider the most destruc
tive. The worms have appeared in
Ouachita parish, but no serious damage
is anticipated. The cotton crop every
where is reported as very fine, and it is
to be hoped that the worms, so late com
ing this season, will do little damage.

Vicksburg Herald: We are gratified to
see by our exchanges that the rearing

such as a people ought to enjoy who un

The Meridian Mercury has blossomed
into an Independent newspaper, as will
be seen from the following paragraph:
"A correspondent nominates A. G.
Brown for Governor. It is unnecessary
for us to remind our readers that we
publish a free and independent paper,
and will not keep the honored name of
A. G. Brown out if he has a friend who
wants to suggest him, because a State
Convention has nominated somebody
else."
The Hinds county Gazette: The cur
rency question, too, in our judgment,
might well have been referred to. That
is a very important question. Does
Mississippi want more money, or less
money? A State Convention repre
senting the intelligence, the business
interests, the wealth and the poverty of
the people of Mississippi, should have
answered this question, and in no
e' uivocal language.

THE BAYOU LACOMBE LOG nEIZURES.
NEw OIRLEANs, August 15, 1877.
Editor N. 0. Democrat-As an old
subscriber to your valuable paper I re
spectfully ask space for a few words in
regard to an article published in the N.
0. Picayune of August 14, under the
caption of "Log Notes," wherein ap
pears a statement purporting to come
from Mr. McCormack, deputy marshal,
which is apt to mislead in regard to the
very gentle manner in which he has
conducted the seizure of timber and logs
in Bayou Lacombe.
At other points, as reported, a fear
that there were logs on bona fide pri
vate claims prevented seizure; here, no
such scruple was indulged; an Indis
criminate seizure was made, not only of
logs, butof manufactured lumber at my
mill, as also on board of the steamer
then loading; and also were those then
hauling from undoubted privatb lands
directed to cease operations. After sev
eral days of delay permission has been
finally accorded them to proceed.
That, "practicalll, the industry may
continue, should the mill men pay the
market price now offered," presupposes
such had not been the case heretofore,
a gratuitous insinuation, that I can only
brand as false a- it is uncalled for. In
but one instance has an increase on
former prices been hinted at, and this
party is now considerably in my debt;
his reason becomes apparent.
Such parties as are willing to go on
with cutting and hauling are unable to
do so, because of the inability of the
mill to furnish supplies to them,
through the severe loss occasioned by
the arbitrary use of the power employed,
and the subsequent dilatory proceed
ings.
Respectfully yours,
W. H. TOOMER.
