NlOTES.
-The famous Kentucky Natural Bridge h
over Caney creek, in Elliott county, broke in oc
the centre of its arch a foew days ago and fell 11
in magnificent ruins.
-At Niagara the haokmen and imitation 1
Indians are bankrupt, and the guides are low 16
down in the mouth and pocket. Great ex
pectations are indulged in when the fall L
brides begin to arrive. 5'
-Matters at Lyons, France, where there if
has been a famine among the silk-weavers,
are much improved. From s0,000 the nunm- P
her of sufferers has boon reduced to 6000, and ti
it is steadily diminishing.
-The destruction of sheep in California by
the recent drouth is estimated at 2,50,5000 d
head, or two-thirds of the sheep in the State.
Many of the great sheep herders abandoned j
7000 to 10,000 head in the mountains.
-The public subscriptions for the new four
per cent thirty-year French Treasury bonds p
were so few that the Minister of Finance has p
eeased advertising them, and sold the remain
der not previously disposed of to the Itoths- e
childs.
-German capitalists seem to avoid the new
Russian loan. Its failure in Berlin, Hamburg *
and Vienna is believed to be on account of a c
auspleion prevailing that the amountof paper t
money issued by the Bank of Russia has 1
recently been much increased.
-At Buenos Ayros, on the 8th of June, as a I
venerable monk, Brother Antonio, was say- t
ing mass at the Cathedral of San Francisco.
he was shot in the throat by a Russian
named Michael Kulazo and severely wounded.
The would-be assassin said that he did not a
know his victim, but had suffered acutely I
from clerical porseeCtions, and so sallied I
forth to kill the first priest he should meet.
He is not insane.
-At a Russian hotel you aroobliged to stip
ulate for bed-linen, pillows, blankets and
towels, or else pay extra for them, as the
landlord assumes that you carry these arti
cles with you. This has been the custom of
time immemorial, and has produced among ]
certain Russians a curious kind of fastidious- I
ness. They strongly dislike using sheets,
blankets and towels which are in a certain
sense public property, Just as we should
strongly object to putting on clothes which
had been already worn by other people.
•-(Oen. (Grant arrived at Lake Maggiore on
the 8th inst., and his stay bogan in a round
of festive doings. Herenades and fireworks
at the hotel; addresses and a speech by an of
flcor who had served under Garibaldi. In re
ply to him Gen. Grant said: "There is one
Italian whose hand I wish to shake. That
man is Gen. Garibaldi." We hope this desire
of the great traveler's, unlike many of his
others, will not end in smoke. On the 27th of
July, on route to to this sentiment, the General
laid the foundation of an Episcopal church at
Geneva.
-The monthly returns of the British Board
Sof Trade for June show that the fall in the
price of articles exported from England still
Scontinues, although the amount of such ex
ports was considerably greater than during
June, 1876. For instance, while the quantity
of cotton yarns exported during June was
:1 7-10 per cent greater than during May, their
value was 2 4-80 percent less. ko also the
quantities of iron and steel, linen piece gooxds
and broad silks exported were respectively
increased during the same period 13 s-10 per
cent. 14 per cent and 56 per cent, while their
values were respectively only 8 percent, i9 5-10
pe'r cent, and 4$ per cent greater than during
the previous month. The conclusion is that
prices may not have " touched bottom " even
yet.
Runsian Fury Toward the English.
An English newspaper correspondent
writes from Buda-Pesth: "It would be idle to
conceal from ourselves that the behavior of
the Russian Emperor and of his brother the
Grand Duke Nicholas, as far as Cols. Mans
field and Wellesley are concerned, is signitt
cantly symptomatic of the exasperation
against England, which is now at its very
helghth throughout Russia, and especially
rages in the breasts of Russian military men ;
it could not be more vehement or genuine
were Great Britain actually at war with the
Muscovite Emporer. I am assured that
wealthy Russian merchants at St. Petersburg
and Moscow have offered premiums to the
army of two thousand roubles per head for
every English o4flcer killed or taken prisoner
in the course of the present war against Tiur
key. Russian officers, in conversation with
German and Austrain war correspondents,
have quite recently vowed to give no quarter
to British officers, where and whensoever
they may come aeross them under the eres
c,'nt! The same feeling which prompted the
Czarowitz' famous outburst to John Bratiano
last autumn, at Livadi animates the sel
diers of the OCzar, from Nlcholas Nicholait
vich down to Ivan Ivnovitch, the patient,
good-tempered. ignorant Tartar lout who
tes wh he is told to hate, without trou
blng himself or his superiors to ask why."

The weather is too dry in Assumption
for the cane.
Cotton picking has commenced in

seventeen'days in that parish, or nearly
five inches per day.
Several negro churches in Shreveport
are holding protracted meetings. They
make such noise In the night time that
the citizens are getting up a protest and
propose to interfere with religion unless
it is less noisy.
The West Feliciana bentinel com
plains of the manner in which the post*
office in St. Francisville is without the
usual conveniences of other post-offices.
Neither stamps envelopes nor money
orders can be obtained there. It is of
great inconvenience to the people of the
parish.
The Rev. Moses Harrison, colored,
was brought up before the justice of the
peace of the fourth ward of Assump
tion, also colored, charged with the
serious offense of turning a member of
his church out. The justice is not quite
certain that he has jurisdiction in such
matters.
Owing to the failure to qualify on the
part of many of those returned and de
clared elected to the ward offices at the
late election in West Felloiana there
are no less than fifteen vacancies in
that parish. Seven of these vacancies
are for justices of the peace and eight

A shooting affray took place at Fausse
Pointe, parish of Iberia, last week, be
tween a young man named Gourdan
from New Orleans, and another named
Guardamal, from .St. Martin. Guar
damai was drunk and insulted Gour
dan's sister. Young Gourdan resented
this when Guardamal drew his revolver.
In the shooting that followed Gourdan
was danierously shot through the lung.
In conversation with several sugar
planters from different sections of the
parish, we regret to learn that the cater
pillars are making sad havoc with the
leaves of the cane. In certain localities,
especially where the cane is thin or
scattering, their ravages have been
more than ordinarily alarming. In
r some cute every stalk is entirely stripped
of its foliage, and the injurious effects
uponithe cane are becomingipainfully
visible.--[Assumption Pioneer.
The Police Jury of Point Coupee has

stitute. Persons are forbidden employ
ing, directly or indirectly, any person
who has been notified to work on the
levee, until such work has been per
1 formed, under a penalty of $20.
Worms are reported on two or ,nree
more places in Tensas. Mr. E. H. New
ell, in from Lake St. Joseph neighbor
hood this (Friday) morning reports E
the worms as numerous and feeding 1
freely, all the way from Balmoral
plantation to Ashwood, and gives it as
his opinion that, at the present rate of
cutting, they will clean out the crop in
that section in the course of some two
weeks. This covers some ten or twelve
plantations. One or two parties are
using Paris green, but the North Louitse
ana Journal thinks they are too late to
do any good.
The New Orleans and Opelousas Rail
road grant embraced a strip of thirty
miles wide of each alternate- section,
and was located and surveyed and
amounted to 719,000 acres, all of which,
under the graduation law is subject to
entry at 12A cents per acre or as said
above can be located by actual settlers,
who by filing an application and living
on it five years, can get a title to 160
acres, simply by paying for the patent,
and a man without a family can locate
80 acres on the same terms. The land
is excellent for corn, cane and cotton.

Jackson Clarion.
The Mississippi Educational Associa
tion met at Jackson August 3. Ninety
three delegates were present, five of
whom were colored. Some of the mem
bers wished to exclude the negroes, but
they were voted down by a large major
ity. Oxford was selodted as the next
place of meeting. The association mem
orialized the legislature to collect a poll
tax for school purposes, to increase the
pay of teachers, etc.
The Woodville Republican (Dem.)
gives the following particulars as to the
late Cold Springs affair in Wilkinson
county: Two white men, of the Piney
Club, who had been in the habit of as
sociating with negroes, got in a quarrel
with one 'of these and were severely
whipped by him. They made a com
plaint to the Piney Club, which resolved
to take the matter up, A committee of
a the club went to Mr. McGehee's place,
Swherer the negro was, but were ordered
off by the overseer. They left and re
ported "a rising among the negroes."
The club went down in a body, organ
ised a jury and tried the overseer, but
were finally contented with an apology.
The negroes got frightened and ran off,
but returned to work the next day. The
Woodville Republican is naturally an
gry at this outrage and insists on the
immediate arrest of these men for
breach of the peace and demoralizing
labor. Public opinion of the county
denounces the affair in the loudest
terms, and the probabilities are that the
Piney Club will soon rest in jail.
Texas.
About one hundred car loads of grain
have been shipped from Waco this sum
mer.
The peach crop is so abundant in
Smith county that they are turning it

on the paper money line.
The grass on the mountains has been
on fire up in Banders for the past week,
and much of the range has been de
stroyed.
Castroville has a female canine that
has given birth to 21 pups. This and
her last litter of 18 make 39 increase in
the dog population in a few months.
Bastrop county will make between a
fourth and a third of a cotton crop. The
cotton worms have done considerable
damage, but the main cause of failure
comes from the boll worm.
Morgan's dredge boats are now hard
at work dredging out Buffalo bayou.
Work is progressing a little above the
city mills. This looks like carrying out
the promise made the Houston City
Council some time ago.
The Cuero Bulletin says that consid
erable damage has been done to the cot
ton crop in DeWitt and adjoining coun
ties, and that not more than a quarter
of a crop wijl be made. In Victoria
county the farmers have determined to
vary their crops and pay more attention
to the cereals.
The Waco Examiner says: In addi
tion to the three bodies reported found
on Slick mountain last week, informa
tion now reaches this city that the
bodies of four men were found hanging
to a limb on the Leon, near Benton,
last Sunday morning. Neither report
is absolutely confirmed, but there is
little reason to doubt the correctness of
either.
Mr. Hedges, of Kaufman county, says
the limes, has raised some of the
pampas or upland rice, which will yield
about 300 bushels to the acre. It can
be served like other rice for table use,
or it will make wholesome bread. It is
I counted the very best for chickens. It
is said that a chicken fed upon this
grain will never have cholera. It is des
tined to be a staple grain in Texas, and
will be very profitable to the producer.
